Gambling Goblin (2)
Gambling Goblin (2)
The type of gambling was simple.
They placed a single jade bead and covered it with a bowl. It was a bet on guessing which of the three shuffled bowls held the jade bead.
Muk Seo-ah called this Yabawi.
The Gambling Goblin toyed with the bead and grinned slyly. Vulgar women with tacky vibes hung off him.
Half-naked women clung to the Goblin's firm body, letting out lewd moans.
They were all busy fawning over him, rubbing their breasts against him. Muk Seo-ah turned her head away from the obscene sight.
"Hey... can't you get rid of those women?"
"Why? Bothering you? No can do. These bitches are all my spoils of war from bets. They all started out cocky like you, challenging me."
The Gambling Goblin fondled one woman's pussy.
The moment his rough fingers touched her, she let out a moan and climaxed.
Pyushuk, her squirt sprayed onto the gambling table. A bit even splashed onto Muk Seo-ah's face.
"Ah, fuck."
"Kukukuk, if you hate it, just leave. I ain't thrilled about betting with an exorcist either."
No way she could do that. Muk Seo-ah clenched her fists, burning with determination.
This Goblin had probably ruined a cartload of humans through gambling. Those women were all slaves after losing bets.
It wasn't right to just ignore the Pleasure House's rules and swing her axe recklessly.
Causing a ruckus in someone else's business and defying Ruju's orders felt wrong, so Muk Seo-ah decided to take down the Goblin with a fair bet.
There was only one reason this yokai got VIP treatment at the Pleasure House.
Money.
In other words, without the cash, he'd be discarded like trash by Ruju. No Pleasure House wants a useless yokai hanging around inside.
"Think it over carefully. Bet with me and go broke, the Pleasure House might ditch you."
Even with Muk Seo-ah's grim warning, the Gambling Goblin just snorted.
He fondled the women in his arms even more. They dripped with arousal, clinging to the Goblin.
One woman was sucking on the Goblin's massive cock.
Heat rose to Muk Seo-ah's face.
"Since when did an exorcist nim worry about a yokai's well-being? Worry about how you're gonna win instead of me."
The employee with her hair tied in a neat bun approached with quick steps.
She held up a sign and timidly shouted. It was the cue to start the gambling.
"First round! Gather 'round if you're watching!"
In an instant, spectators swarmed in. Centered around the small table where Muk Seo-ah and the Goblin sat, the onlookers watched the two gamblers and chatted among themselves.
Given the place, plenty of people were naked.
There were quite a few drunks too. Most men had women with them, and the women looked like courtesans.
Right next to them, a man was groping a courtesan's tits. Muk Seo-ah shrugged at the moans ringing in her ears.
"Hauuung! Haaang!"
'Fuck... why's everyone here in heat!'
She grumbled inwardly but didn't show it.
Unknowingly, Muk Seo-ah was squirming in her seat. Her legs kept twitching uncomfortably, clenching together.
She could feel her underwear getting damp. The gambling table was pretty hot, though. Definitely just sweat.
"Kukukuk..."
The Gambling Goblin laughed, eyeing Muk Seo-ah's pale legs. There was an unmistakable female scent wafting from her.
An exorcist was just another woman in the end.
Muk Seo-ah couldn't tear her eyes away from the woman sucking the Goblin's cock.
Until the Goblin called out to her.
"Hey, bitch."
"Yeah, huh? What the fuck. You're actually insane."
Muk Seo-ah's eyes sharpened instantly. She yanked the axe from her mouth and slammed it down on the gambling table with a bang. The wooden table had the axe embedded in it, dangling and swaying.
Even with the blatant threat, she didn't feel scared for some reason. The Gambling Goblin looked at Muk Seo-ah. Her breasts were subtly trembling. Her white clothes were soaked with sweat, turning sheer.
She hadn't noticed, but her light pink nipples were visible through the fabric.
Some spectators gripped their cocks at the sight. One gulped while staring at Muk Seo-ah's nape.
The Goblin's smile deepened. The exorcist was no longer an object of fear.
"Don't get so pissed. Provoking your opponent is part of gambling."
"Watch your mouth."
Muk Seo-ah crossed her arms and sat back. She leaned against the chair.
The Gambling Goblin placed the jade bead under a bowl. He laid out the three bowls on the table.
"Shall we? How much for the first round?"
"...Fifty nyang."
"You've got a thousand nyang and that's it? Not like you're some delicate little bitch. Why so timid?"
Muk Seo-ah's face flushed red. She shot up and grabbed the axe from the table.
She knew. Retaliating with violence here might win the fight, but it wouldn't be a true victory. She had to beat him in his own game.
No more getting dragged in. Playtime's over.
Muk Seo-ah slammed the axe back into the table and sat down. She needed to calm her mind.
Suddenly, she seemed compliant. The Gambling Goblin tilted his head, still smirking.
She'd received that hypnosis from Master Buk-gwak, but Muk Seo-ah was unaware. The change was subtle. Just a bit short of breath, breasts feeling hot. Her pussy itched, sweat trickling down her collarbone.
Muk Seo-ah couldn't look away from the burly Goblin's firm body. Her eyes spun dizzily. His cock was as massive as his muscles.
Unknowingly, Muk Seo-ah wore a dazed expression.
The hypnosis had worked perfectly.
The shift was so subtle that to other men, she looked like a bitch in heat, but she herself was nearly incapable of noticing.
"Minimum three hundred nyang. Say it again. How much?"
"...Fine. Three hundred nyang? Happy now? If I win, I get double, right?"
She didn't even consider losing.
It was just a match against a minor yokai. Muk Seo-ah's mind was convinced of victory.
Her rationality spun like a broken clockwork.
Deurureuk, deuruk.
The bowls shuffled. Muk Seo-ah's eyes frantically tracked the bead. It was in the third bowl.
No matter how complexly they mixed, her dynamic vision didn't miss it.
'Ha, got it.'
"Right side."
"Yeah?"
Too easy. Was this even gambling? She just had to keep her eyes on the bowl with the bead.
Muk Seo-ah declared confidently. The Gambling Goblin smirked slyly and flipped the right bowl.
It was empty inside.
"Wrong?"
"...What?"
No way?
She hadn't blinked once. She'd confirmed it clearly with her own eyes, but the bead came out from the middle bowl instead.
"You cheating fuck. Rigged gambling?"
Muk Seo-ah jumped up and grabbed the Gambling Goblin by the hair.
Get caught cheating, and it's your hand. Her hand instinctively went to the axe.
The Gambling Goblin yelled hysterically.
"What bullshit! Got proof I cheated?! Hey, employee! Did it look like I was using tricks?"
"Ah, n-no. I didn't see anything..."
"With all these eyes on us! Any spectator, step up and say if you saw even a speck of cheating!"
Everyone shook their heads, saying it didn't look like it. Now Muk Seo-ah looked like she was just grilling an innocent Goblin.
Claiming cheating after losing in gambling, without proof, was just the sore loser's pathetic table-flip.
'It was cheating...'
But no way to prove it.
Muk Seo-ah groaned and plopped back into her chair.
Kung. She slammed the axe into the table.
"Remember this. I'll count this round as my loss. But if I catch you cheating, it's your hand."
"Ah, damn it! I'm telling you, it's bullshit!"
The Gambling Goblin bellowed heartily.
Slap, he smacked the ass of the woman sucking his cock. She trembled and climaxed while mindlessly slurping away.
Just from the spank, her body went limp and she squirted fluids.
Is this what happens to normal folks who lose bets...
Muk Seo-ah pressed her thighs together, thinking.
The female employee announced the start of the second round from the side.
"Miss, drink this and stay calm. You can't win even easy gambles if you're tense."
Some man tapped Muk Seo-ah's shoulder.
He offered her a drink. He was naked too. As he got close, his thick cock brushed near Muk Seo-ah's cheek.
A filthy cock-stench wafted from it. Muk Seo-ah grimaced.
"Back off."
"Sorry, sorry. Still, down a shot first. Gotta cool your head during gambling."
Transparent wetness glistened on the inside of Muk Seo-ah's thighs.
She took the glass. Her throat was parched. Gambling big money wasn't easy mentally. Fighting would've been better. This was a different kind of pressure.
Gulp.
Muk Seo-ah drank the booze from the stranger.
The refreshing liquid slid down her throat. Her thirst eased a bit.
It was booze laced with aphrodisiac from the Pleasure House. The Gambling Goblin clicked his tongue at the guys pulling tricks.
"Fucking beasts. See a horny bitch and wanna drag her off, pulling every dirty trick? Watch it, too much bad karma and you turn into a yokai."
"Not something I'd expect from you, Goblin bro?"
The man snickered provocatively.
In a flash, the Gambling Goblin shot up and smashed a bottle over his head.
Jjanggang!
Muk Seo-ah, dazed from the hypnosis and drug, snapped back to reality.
The man clutched his bleeding head. Muk Seo-ah yelled at the Goblin in a hurry.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing!"
"This fucker talks like a dog. You shut up too. Bitch tempting every male with your body, and you didn't even notice the drugged booze?"
The booze just now had drugs?
Muk Seo-ah jolted in shock. Thanks to Cheonae Yuseon and her overwhelming stamina, she'd let her guard down. Nothing could harm her.
But chugging drugged booze felt gross.
"He's a bad one, sure. Still, sit down. No hands-on from a yokai in front of an exorcist."
Muk Seo-ah cleared her throat and said.
The Gambling Goblin spat on the fallen man, then sat back down.
The mood chilled instantly. The female employee hesitated before trying to liven things up.
"Second round! Red player's turn! Gambling Goblin-nim...? How much this time?"
"One thousand nyang."
Muk Seo-ah had already lost three hundred nyang.
One thousand nyang this round would exceed her spare funds.
It was more than her entire fortune at the gambling table.
Even after blowing it, she'd have three hundred left. Muk Seo-ah shot up and shouted.
"What nonsense?! I've only got seven hundred on me!"
"Just win. What, no confidence?"
The Gambling Goblin growled.
With courtesans on both sides, he said,
"Employee miss, you know how folks without money gamble, right?"
"Uh, well... they pay with their bodies..."
"Right. Exorcist lady. Lose it all, no cash? Pay with your body."
She wasn't sure what "pay with body" meant.
Hard labor? Make her a grunt?
If it was exorcist work, Mukmyeong's rates were higher than three hundred nyang.
The Gambling Goblin pointed at Muk Seo-ah's ample breasts.
An impure thought flashed through Muk Seo-ah's mind.
The men here spiked drinks to rape women.
In this brutal place, a woman who blew her cash pays with her body instead.
"...Eut."
Muk Seo-ah bit her lip. Hot breath leaked out.
When she sat back down calmly, her crotch was unknowingly soaked.
The drug was kicking in.
For some reason, Cheonae Yuseon wasn't rejecting the aphrodisiac. Her lower belly throbbed like a heartbeat. Her breasts, pussy, and whole body grew hypersensitive.
Every time "bitch" was uttered, subtle changes hit. Her sensitivity ramped up like stairs. A body that had been dosed with aphrodisiacs by Geum-dwaeji. A mind caught in hypnosis.
Muk Seo-ah didn't notice her own changes, but her head still screamed certain victory.
Nothing can take me down.
I'm the undefeated exorcist Mukmyeong.
Screw up, flip the table, and chop the Goblin's head. Done.
Just a minor yokai. Couldn't harm Muk Seo-ah.
She trusted in Cheonae Yuseon and her axe.
"Fine. Do whatever. I'll make you regret it for sure."
Hearing that, the Gambling Goblin's cock hardened.
The second gambling round began.
