"Friend, this is a high-stakes gamble!"
"We can still bet a bit more, friend!"
"Why not give it one last shot, friend?"
"We've come this far, friend..."
"Lost into a complete mess, friend!"
"Hahaha—hahahahaha—hahahahahaha!"
Caelus held his forehead and laughed wildly, a smile that Judge Iori Yagami would give a high score to. His gaze swept over the trembling March 7th and Seele, as well as the dumbstruck Stelle and Bronya.
"Weak! Weak! Weak! Humans are weak in the end; is this your power? Too feeble!"
Sitting back on his throne in a cheerful mood, Caelus looked at Qingque, who had stripped off her small sweater dress like peeling a hard-boiled egg, revealing a large expanse of smooth, fine skin.
"God of Gamblers Qing, not bad!"
A look of sentimental sighing appeared on his face, as if he were still left wanting more.
"But just this level isn't enough."
In his hand, Caelus played with the red bodice that still retained the warmth of Qingque's body fragrance. He hadn't expected Qingque to still be wearing a traditional bodice at her age.
He initially thought the golden light on Qingque's body was an 'Omen Box' like Jingliu's. It was only after Qingque took off her outer clothes that Caelus saw the true form emitting the golden light was this bodice.
And now, this red bodice embroidered with green sparrows was Caelus's possession!
In the previous battle, Qingque, who had only two defensive items left, found it difficult to strip further. As the winner, Caelus actively proposed exchanging the ownership of the red bodice for Qingque's punishment this time.
Under the tearful gaze of Stelle, who was biting her panties, Qingque agreed with a nod.
Right in front of Stelle, Caelus pulled 42 Crystals out of Qingque's red bodice. This directly caused Stelle's mental state to explode, initiating a gameplay of firing wildly, dragging herself and Little Duck into the pit.
Actually, while the action was taking the Crystals, in the eyes of outsiders, Caelus was indeed sniffing, smelling, and rubbing the bodice, causing the girls' expressions to change one after another.
"I... I actually lost..."
The highlights gradually faded from her jade-like eyes. Not only was she defeated at lightspeed after her initial resistance, but she suffered consecutive defeats. Under the oppression of the Demon King Caelus, she had no power to resist!
"Heheh, strip, Little Sparrow."
Playing with the bodice in his hand, Caelus stared unblinkingly at Qingque, exerting psychological pressure on her.
It felt like thorns on her back... and on her front too. Qingque suddenly snapped awake.
She recalled her initial bold words and felt painful regret. Caelus's goading tactics had played a role, but on the other hand, it was also due to Qingque's absolute confidence in her own strength.
At Celestial Jade, she wouldn't lose!
But facing this disastrous, crushing defeat, the girl whose fighting spirit had burned out and returned to a salted fish mentality gradually recalled the shame of having her clothes taken off piece by piece during the battle, exposing her exquisite carcass.
She wished she could turn around and flee immediately—but she couldn't escape!
What made it even harder for Qingque to accept was that in the final battle, even though she racked her brains and strategized, she still met with an irreversible defeat.
And then there was Caelus's intense luck, which seemed to dominate the entire space...
Qingque's usual ID was 'Playing Tiles with Life', but Caelus was simply using his life to play tiles. To be precise, he was playing with his lifespan!
It was a gameplay that even the lifespan of a Xianzhou long-life species couldn't withstand!
Only this, Qingque was unwilling to accept. She had the impulse to flip the table.
"Impossible! Old Caelus, did you toggle hacks!?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
With a clearly defined, slightly bony back and a snowy-white scenery, March 7th's exquisite face, covered in a flush, glared at Caelus. Her pink-blue eyes contained shy anger.
She was just about to stand up and slam the table, but when Caelus's gaze turned toward her, March 7th immediately shrank back.
Her panties had already been removed, but because she was grouped with Seele, Seele was sitting in March 7th's lap, using her own body to help block her empty triangular zone.
If she stood up, she would be seen by Caelus.
"How could there be such luck! You definitely cheated!"
Only the final line of defense on her upper body remained. March 7th's bra was special.
Inside the girl-power-filled white shirt was a black bra. Two black straps extended from the sides of her chest, encircling her swan-like neck to form a choker—it had to be said, it was absolutely superb!
"Ah Qi, although we are all beautiful girls, we can't be unreasonable, and we certainly can't go back on our word!"
Shaking her body, the snowy whiteness on her chest transformed into an engineeringly perfect shape that struck directly at human instincts under the effects of gravity and skin tension. Yet, Stelle spoke without changing her expression.
She was one hundred percent on Caelus's side!
Stelle's goal was the same as Caelus's: to strip the girls' clothes.
"You... Shut your mouth!"
Little Duck, who likewise only had her final defenses left, expressionlessly pressed this dead-weight Stelle back into the octopus chair. It was all because of this detestable Stellaron spirit that Seele had been stripped down to just her panties and bra.
"How can you stain a person's innocence out of thin air?"
Caelus sat up straight. His enthusiastic smile faded, and his voice shifted to become majestic and heavy.
"Before the game officially started, we established ten covenants. The eighth article: Anyone who engages in improper conduct during the game will be considered defeated once exposed."
"How could I possibly cheat?"
Caelus righteously stored Qingque's red bodice into his Ring Space.
"Ugh..."
A voice of grief and indignation. March 7th's pearly white teeth bit her lower lip tightly.
If there were no issues, she would have to take off her last piece this time, and then she would b-be completely nake...
"Old Caelus, do you think this kind of word game can fool me?"
Qingque pressed her hands on the table. Her tone was calm, but the roots of her ears were a patch of bright red.
"'Once exposed, it is considered a defeat.' In other words, as long as the cheating isn't exposed, there's no problem."
As Qingque's words fell, the eyes of March 7th and Little Duck instantly became sharp.
"No, seriously, have you sensed even a shred of energy fluctuation from me? You have to speak with evidence."
Caelus held his head high and puffed out his chest with righteous assurance, shouting, "I, Caelus, do not lie!"
Of course, that was impossible~!
He was a Masked Fool!
Whoever believed a Masked Fool... well, let's just say their life was set.
On the surface, it looked like four sides fighting against each other, with the five girls finally uniting to resist Caelus.
In reality, in this dark duel, Caelus had stood in an undefeated position from the very beginning!
Seele and Silver Wing were both him. The tiles of Stelle and March 7th were completely open hands in Caelus's eyes!
Based on the tiles in the three parties' hands and the tiles played, calculating and judging Qingque's tiles was simply a breeze.
If he wanted to Chow, Pung, or Kong, he could just have Seele and Bronya—who placed one hundred percent trust in 'White' Seele and Little Duck—play the tiles. Or he could induce the two of them to play the tiles Caelus needed.
Everyone above and below the table was his person. How could a tiny Qingque fight him?
This was a cheating technique that was fundamentally impossible to discover and would absolutely never reveal a flaw!
Indeed, Qingque, who hadn't caught any evidence of Caelus cheating, couldn't make trouble and could only accept her loss.
Qingque hesitated for a long time, finally raising her hand toward the plush sparrow tying her hair.
Tapping his finger on the table, Caelus raised his voice: "Little Sparrow, I've already counted your socks and stockings. Using a hair accessory to offset it is a bit excessive, right?"
"This... Uh, hehe."
Qingque, having failed to exploit a loophole, hung her small head. Her small hand touched the strap on her shoulder, the silk making a rustling sound like spring silkworms eating leaves as it slid over her collarbone.
Caelus looked up at the sky, admiring the scenery invisible from a normal angle via the mirrored ceiling.
Suddenly, Qingque's movements stopped.
Her cute little face flushed red, and Qingque's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz:
"Give me another chance, friend!"
"Of course, no problem. After all, I'm not some devil."
"Eh, really?"
What exceeded Qingque's expectations was that Caelus actually nodded and agreed to her shameless request, leaving the girl staring blankly with her small mouth slightly open in surprise for a moment.
"Me too!"
"Bronya wants one too, and Seele!"
Seeing that Caelus had actually agreed to Qingque so easily, the others raised their hands one after another, planning to follow suit.
"Fine. I can give you 5 battle points... I mean, five chances."
Caelus revealed a composed smile. He raised his palm, fingers spread, and moved it before everyone.
"As long as you, Little Sparrow, can beat me once, none of you have to strip anymore."
"Really?" Qingque's eyes lit up instantly.
"Correct. But answer me first: if you lose all five times, what should happen then?"
Caelus crossed his arms, sweeping his gaze over the girls who had been beaten into discarding their armor.
"Heh~ Caelus-cub, who are you looking down on?"
Stelle felt this was almost too arrogant. Unable to bear it any longer, she gave a cold shout and slammed the table as she stood up:
"If we lose it all, we pay with our bodies, friend!"
Anyway, she didn't care about paying with her body or not.
Even without Strip Celestial Jade, she had originally planned to have Caelus drag Bronya along to play in this hotel for a night anyway.
"P-Pay with our bodies?"
March 7th's eyes widened, a frightened expression appearing on her face.
Little Duck expressionlessly gave this ill-intentioned Hachi-Stelle a heavy punch.
By now, she had figured out Stelle's personality thoroughly; these two gray-hairs were basically wearing the same pair of pants.
She was also indifferent to 'meat compensation'—after all, this was Silver Wing's body, and she was long used to it. But Seele couldn't!
Qingque's heart also skipped a beat, and she shrank back.
Although, if the partner was her fellow slacker regarding the Dao and her accomplice in the grand Celestial Jade plan, the highly compatible Caelus, she didn't mind that much. But the problem was... Caelus's age. Would she really not be arrested by the Realm-Keeping Commission?
"Do you accept?"
Caelus gave Stelle a look that said 'Good job'.
"Come!"
As a veteran gambling dog, Qingque agreed after a brief thought, feeling she could rely on this opportunity to reverse the entire situation and win back everything she had lost.
Furthermore, having been targeted consecutively by Stelle and Bronya using items earlier, the aphrodisiac gas was starting to take effect. Her body was gradually becoming a bit hot.
"Let's battle!"
The girl, left with only two pieces of intimate clothing, nervously patted her flushed little cheeks. She took a deep breath to temporarily suppress her increasingly excited and longing mood.
"Bearing the name of the Luofu Gambling Immortal, I cannot lose!"
The battle reopened.
"Kong!"
"A restart will definitely work, friend..."
"Kong again!"
"Celestial Jade, have you really forgotten our bond and chosen betrayal!?"
Qingque attempted to awaken the Soul of the Tiles.
"Continue Kong!"
"If we lose it all, we pay with our bodies, friend!!"
"Tsumo. Rinshan Kaihou. Full Flush. Dora 2."
"...Ah!!!???"
Qingque looked at the hand before her in disbelief. She lay on the octopus chair with a face full of sorrow, resembling a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
"Now then, friends, it's time for the final settlement!"
To be reasonable, facing the scene before him, even Caelus found it hard to keep his heart as still as water. His emotions were rising.
"...At least let me rest a while, friend."
