Chapter 71 Mahjong
Chapter 71 Mahjong
As the first "veteran" resident of Huo Yutong's spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm consciously shoulders the important responsibility of maintaining internal harmony.
This golden ocean has now expanded from its original "single residence" to "four soul luxury suites," and the list of residents will likely continue to grow in the future.
How to get these big shots with such different temperaments to coexist peacefully became a major concern for Tianmeng.
Electrolux is usually a kind and wise elder, whose earnest teachings are like a gentle breeze.
Of course, this excludes the time when he "discussed" aesthetics with Tianmeng—whether it was the shocking rainbow vortex design of the Spirit Pagoda emblem or the "Tianmeng Poetry Collection" listed as a "source of spiritual pollution" by the Ice Emperor, both were enough to make this Necromancer Saint lose his composure and wish he could use the staff formed from his spiritual power to roll out Tianmeng's plump flesh like dough.
Not to mention, when Tianmeng asked Electrolux to play chess a while ago.
"Old Yi! I understand that you human sages often play chess. Come, let's play a game of Go!"
With great interest, Tianmeng used her spiritual power to conjure an exquisite chessboard on the golden sea.
According to the rules, Electrolux, playing black, made the first move and calmly placed a stone on the "Tengen" position on the board.
However, Tianmeng's next move completely silenced Electrolux.
Tianmeng completely ignored any strategy or strategy, and directly manipulated a large group of white pieces to surround the lone black piece with a "whoosh".
"Look! That's how you play Go! You surround your opponent's stones!"
At this moment, the once-powerful Necromancer Saint, the Undead Calamity, really wanted to pick up the chessboard and let this million-year-old soul beast experience firsthand what "physical rules" meant.
The outcome is determined outside the chessboard.
And then there's Tianmeng's magnificent "Tianmeng Poetry Collection." "Starting today, I'm going to write a poem every day and publish a poetry collection called 'Tianmeng Poetry Collection'! And I will become the first soul beast poet in history!" Tianmeng laughed heartily.
And Tianmeng's literary talent...
All I remember is that after Tenmu announced this decision, Electrolux and Hyotei immediately tried to "persuade" Tenmu in a friendly manner.
Tianmeng: I will not give up on my dream.
Electrolux, Hyotei: If I hear Tianmeng composing poetry again, I'll go deaf myself!
……
Bingbing, oh, her Bingbing, how beautiful and gentle she is!
Although she is usually sarcastic and often physically abusive towards herself before Crescent Moon becomes a spirit, Tianmeng firmly believes that this is Bingbing's unique way of expressing love.
Beneath that cold scorpion shell lies a passionate heart.
Before Bingbing's slap came the fragrance emanating from her body. Unfortunately, ever since Yueya became a spirit, Bingbing had been much gentler towards her.
……
As for the newcomer Crescent Moon, she is aloof and arrogant, and has always ignored Tianmeng's enthusiasm.
It wasn't until Tianmeng couldn't resist the urge to "share literature" one day that she secretly handed over a page of her treasured poetry manuscript. Considering that Tianmeng might not be able to read, she even read it to her quietly.
Crescent Moon was indeed deeply shocked—she remained silent for a long time, then squeezed out a cold warning through gritted teeth: "If you dare to pollute my spirit with such creations again, I will bite you to death!"
From then on, Tianmeng completely adopted a "turn a blind eye" approach.
Feeling that the relationship between neighbors had reached a bottleneck, Tianmeng racked her brains and finally found a solution from human wisdom: a wonderful game that requires four people and can both connect people and test their wits – Mahjong!
After much pleading and cajoling, she finally convinced the other three.
Thus, on the golden waves of the sea of spirit, an exquisite jade mahjong table materialized.
Tenmeng was naturally in high spirits, while Hyotei, though looking at her with disdain as if she were "playing house with children," also sat down. Crescent Moon transformed into a tall, spirited, silver-haired mature woman and silently took her seat.
Electrolux initially watched with the intention of "preventing Tianmeng from causing any more trouble," but when Tianmeng used her mental power to arrange the 108 dominoes into a neat square with a "clatter," a barely perceptible glint flashed in Electrolux's gray eyes.
"East, South, West, North... Bamboo, Dots, Characters..." Tianmeng proudly explained the rules, gesturing with her little hands. "The rules are very simple: form a specific combination, and the first player to win wins!"
Of course, it contains endless mysteries and strategic maneuvering, truly testing one's wisdom!
Electrolux simply reached out and touched a card, his fingertips gently tracing its surface, feeling the illusory yet real sensation.
The game begins. Tianmeng is loud and boisterous, eager to make a quick win and show off her "card-playing prowess" to Bingbing.
Hyotei's fighting style is fierce, with her usual decisiveness. Once she sets her sights on Zhang, she holds him firmly without any mercy.
Crescent Moon, true to its nature, is calm and cautious, with each card carefully considered, like a hunter setting traps in the jungle.
Electrolux, on the other hand, displayed a completely different style.
He remained calm and unhurried, drawing, examining, and playing cards with fluid and graceful movements.
He doesn't deliberately pursue big brands, but he can always find the best combination in seemingly messy hand types.
His calculations were frighteningly accurate, as if he could see the flow of every card in the river.
After several attempts, while Tianmeng was still scratching his head over a missing tile, Electrolux had already pushed the tiles over and said calmly, "A simple hand, a clean hand, thank you for the favor."
"Wow! Old Yi! Is this really your first time playing?" Tianmeng exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.
Electrox stroked his beard and smiled, "This kind of game requires a comprehensive view, calculation of probabilities, and weighing of choices. It shares the same principles as array deduction, magic configuration, and even life choices. Hmm... quite interesting."
Hyotei simply snorted, "It's better than listening to you compose poetry." With that, he played a card.
"Pong!" Electrox smiled as he put away his cards, then picked up another one, paused for a moment, and then pushed the card away again. "A pure suit, waiting for the last tile. It seems that luck is on my side today."
On the golden sea of spirit, the sounds of mahjong tiles clashing echoed from one game to another.
Tianmeng was overjoyed at the sight before her.
She whispered to herself, "It seems mahjong really is an invincible magic weapon for improving relationships! Even Old Yi is addicted! Hehe, my sister Tianmeng is truly a genius!"
Mahjong will also become an essential activity after the subsequent souls in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea reside in it.
