People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 134 Two Clow Cards That Suddenly Appear
"Hey! You brat! What are you daydreaming about?"

My shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

Little Ke fluttered its wings and landed on his shoulder. It spread its wings and complained, "You guys are having a big meal tonight, and I can only hide in my backpack and smell the aroma. I haven't tasted a single bite!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +11]

"You glutton, all you think about is food." Ye Hui raised his hand and lightly flicked its head with his knuckles.

"Ouch! That hurts! Why did you hit me!" Xiao Ke immediately covered her round head, her eyes brimming with tears, and stomped her feet in grievance. "I just wanted something to stutter!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

"Who told you to disturb my contemplation of life?" Ye Hui casually made up an excuse, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the streetlights in the distance.

"Contemplate life? You?" Keroberos scoffed, wings on her hips, a look of disdain on her face. "Your life is nothing more than indulging Sakura and Tomoyo, and then finding ways to annoy me. What's there to contemplate!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +9]

Ye Hui's eyelids twitched.

"Yezi, Keke, are you two arguing again?" Sakura stopped chatting with Tomoyo when she heard the noise, turned to look at the two, and looked at them with a helpless expression.

"Who argued with him! He hit me first!" Xiao Ke immediately rushed to Xiao Ying's side, complaining pitifully.

"Alright, alright, I won't pursue this matter any further." Ye Hui waved his hand.

He decided that it would be best to use this supernatural power of enlightenment sparingly in the future.

Especially those close to you.

It's better to keep some things a little mysterious.

"What?!?!" Xiao Ke was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. Then, she lunged at Ye Hui, baring her teeth and claws. "Aren't you going to hold me accountable?!"

But the next second, a passerby came out from around the corner.

Xiao Ke's body stiffened instantly, and she fell straight down from mid-air.

However, Ye Hui didn't actually let it land on the ground; instead, he scooped it up in his hand.

Before they knew it, the three of them had reached the fork in the road.

The glow of the streetlights stretched their shadows long, and the night breeze carried the fragrance of the surrounding grass and trees. There was no car exhaust or any kind of smog.

"See you at school the day after tomorrow!" Sakura waved vigorously at Ye Hui and Tomoyo.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow, be careful on the road." Tomoyo replied gently, and Ye Hui nodded in agreement.

Watching Sakura skip away, the three of them dispersed.

The remaining day of the weekend.

Aside from his daily cultivation and consolidating his realm, Ye Hui devoted most of his energy to one important matter.

Make a storage ring for Sakura!
After making a ring for Tomoyo last time, he promised Sakura that he would make one for her too.

We can't forget about this, otherwise Sakura might bring it up and nag him about it someday.

He rummaged through his system inventory, pulled out a materials box, and took out several pieces of luminous white Void Stones.

This is the core of crafting a storage ring; the purer the stone, the larger the space that can be created inside.

Over this period of time, Ye Hui had also accumulated some. He carefully selected a palm-sized piece of Void Stone without any impurities, and also found a few strands of highly resilient Spirit Silver Threads.

This can be used to secure the stone and increase the ring's durability.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the materials in his hands, giving them a shimmering, fragmented glow.

Next comes the abstinence from the body.

Ye Hui selected a top-quality rose quartz.

The stone is translucent, gleaming with a warm pinkish light, which perfectly matches Sakura's usual temperament.

"Just pink seems to lack a bit of depth."

Ye Hui stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then found another moonstone.

The stone has a delicate pearly sheen, and it shimmers with a faint silvery-white luster under the light, which looks quite nice.

With the materials ready, he had an idea in mind.

The ring band is made of rose quartz, and moonstone is cut into small pieces. A cherry blossom pattern is carved on the ring band, with each petal inlaid with moonstone fragments.

The pink base with white cherry blossom patterns would probably suit Sakura's taste perfectly.

With all the materials prepared, Ye Hui took the advanced alchemy furnace out of his backpack.

He skillfully placed the Void Stone, Pink Crystal, and cut Moonstone fragments into the furnace one by one, then gathered spiritual power to ignite the furnace fire.

The flame temperature was controlled just right, enough to melt and shape the crystal without damaging the storage properties of the Void Stone.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the materials slowly fused and solidified under high temperature.

Ye Hui stood guard by the furnace, adjusting his spiritual energy output from time to time to ensure that every detail of the cherry blossom pattern was clear and smooth.

About half an hour later, he extinguished the fire, opened the lid, and a faint fragrance of crystal wafted out.

He reached out and took out the ring, wrapped it with spiritual energy, placed it in his palm, and examined it carefully.

The rose quartz ring is polished to a smooth, rounded shape, conforming to the curve of the finger.

On the outside of the ring, a small circle of cherry blossoms surrounds it, with moonstone fragments embedded in the petals.

A slight turn of the ring will cause a subtle flow of silver light.

This face is so good it could capture the heart of any girl.

Sakura would probably like it too.

He pulled out a jewelry box that he had prepared beforehand.

The box is also printed with a light pink cherry blossom pattern, and the inside is lined with soft velvet.

After placing the ring inside, Ye Hui closed the box and gently tapped it, finally fulfilling his promise.

On Monday morning, sunlight streamed through the classroom windows, casting dappled shadows on the desks.

As soon as Ye Hui entered the classroom, he saw Sakura and Tomoyo chatting together, occasionally letting out soft laughter.

"Sakura, Tomoyo, good morning." Ye Hui stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning, Yezi!" Sakura immediately turned around, her face beaming with a big smile.

"Good morning, Ye-kun." Tomoyo responded gently, her long black hair falling over her shoulders, the ends swaying slightly with her movements.

Ye Hui sat down in his seat, took out the pink jewelry box from his backpack, paused for a moment, and then handed it to Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, this is for you."

"For me? What is it?" Sakura blinked curiously, quickly took the box, and gently lifted the lid.

When Sakura saw the pink cherry blossom ring lying quietly in the box, her eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! What a beautiful ring!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

She carefully picked up the ring, brought it close to her eyes, and examined it closely. Her fingers traced the cherry blossom pattern, and her expression of delight was almost overflowing.

"Is this... a storage ring?" She looked up at Ye Hui with a hint of uncertainty.

Ye Hui nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "I promised to make one for you last time, how about it, I haven't forgotten, have I?"

"Thank you, Ye Zi! You're so kind!" Xiao Ying cheered and excitedly rushed over to give Ye Hui a big hug.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +16]

A soft body bumped into my arms, carrying a faint fragrance.

Ye Hui smiled helplessly, reached out and gently patted her back, lowering his voice to remind her, "Okay, okay, let go quickly, the classmates are all watching."

Sakura then came to her senses and realized that she had acted too excitedly, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.

She quickly let go, took a half step back, and stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly: "Hehe... Sorry, I was just too happy and couldn't help it."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +19]

Tomoyo sat to the side, looking at Sakura's flushed cheeks and the ring on her hand, and said softly, "It's really beautiful, Sakura. The pink ring with the cherry blossom pattern suits you very well."

"Right, right! I think it looks amazing too!" Sakura quickly put the ring on her left hand, and it fit perfectly, as if it were made for her.

She excitedly raised her hand and waved it gently in the morning light.

The rose quartz ring gleamed warmly in the sunlight, while the moonstone cherry blossom pattern shimmered with delicate silver light as she moved, creating a charming contrast with her fair fingers.

Sakura lovingly rubbed the ring face with her fingertips, a smile never fading from her lips: "It feels so comfortable on my hand, it doesn't hurt at all."

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Ye Hui felt a faint sense of accomplishment.

Isn't the point of giving gifts to girls to see them so genuinely happy?

He added with a smile, "There's a simple storage array engraved inside the ring. You can open it by concentrating your mind. Want to try putting something in?"

Sakura's eyes lit up even more. She took out an eraser from her pencil case, stuffed it in, and watched as the eraser disappeared into thin air. She couldn't help but exclaim softly, "How amazing!"

Soon, the school bell rang, and the first class of the morning was drawing.

The art teacher walked up to the podium with his lesson plan and wrote the four characters "Portrait Sketching" on the blackboard.

"Today's task is to draw portraits of each other. Everyone can form pairs freely. There are no restrictions on the style; realism or cartoons are both acceptable. The most important thing is to capture the characteristics and spirit of the other person."

The teacher had just finished speaking.

Sakura turned to Ye Hui and Tomoyo and suggested, "Ye Hui, Tomoyo, how about the three of us form a group?"

"But the teacher said we have to be in pairs." Tomoyo blinked.

Sakura waved her hand, "Oh, it's okay! The three of us are such good friends, of course we should be together! We can take turns being models, and each of us can draw two people, so we can draw one more picture! Besides, didn't the teacher say we can form our own groups?"

Ye Hui couldn't help but laugh inwardly at her self-righteous demeanor.

This girl isn't quick-witted at other times, but she's quite clever when it comes to things like this.

He simply raised his hand and shouted towards the podium, "Teacher, there are three people in our group, is that okay?"

The art teacher looked over at the sound and saw Ye Hui and the other two huddled together. She smiled and nodded, "Of course. The three of you can draw each other or work together on a piece of art. Just arrange it flexibly."

"Great!" Sakura clapped her hands excitedly. "Then our Sakura Phantom Thieves' drawing group is officially formed!"

Ye Hui was taken aback: "So, the boss finally admits she's the boss?"

Sakura shrank back: "I didn't."

She quickly changed the subject: "So who will be the model first?"

She picked up her paintbrush, lightly touched the paper with the tip, and eagerly began to paint.

"How about I go first?" Tomoyo smiled gently and took the empty seat opposite the two of them.

"Okay, okay!" Sakura immediately spread out her drawing paper.

Ye Hui also took out his sketchbook and charcoal pencils, ready to go.

Tomoyo sat there quietly, her hands folded on her knees, her long black hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, the ends falling to her chest.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on her face and outlining her soft profile. A faint smile played on her lips, and her eyes were as gentle as if they held water.

"Tomoyo-chan is already a painting in herself, what more needs to be painted?"

Ye Hui sighed silently to himself, picked up the charcoal pencil, and gently brought it down.

Although he had never formally studied painting, he still had the feel for it from drawing talismans, and his control over the lines was very steady.

He did not choose a complex realistic style, but used simple lines to outline Chiyo's features, focusing on her smiling eyes and falling hair. With just a few strokes, he captured her charm.

Sakura on the other side was also drawing very carefully, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes fixed on Tomoyo.

Her art style is completely different from Ye Hui's; it's a cute, chibi-style cartoon.

She has a round face, big purple eyes, and her hair is styled into fluffy waves with a cute little bow on top.

Before long, Sakura was the first to hold up her drawing board, showing it off to Tomoyo like a treasure: "Tomoyo, I'm done! Do you think it looks like me?"

On the drawing paper, Tomoyo in chibi form is smiling, holding a small camera in her hand.

Those were details that Sakura added on her own; she also drew lots of sparkling little stars and pink hearts next to them.

"Sakura's drawing is so cute!" Tomoyo took the drawing board, looking at the chibi version of herself on the paper with a pleasant surprise. "You even drew my usual camera! Sakura, you're so thoughtful!"

"That's because Tomoyo is just so cute!" Sakura shook her head proudly, her two little braids swaying gently with the movement.

She turned to look at Ye Hui and curiously leaned closer: "Ye Zi, how's your drawing coming along?"

Ye Hui just put down his charcoal pencil and handed over the sketchbook.

The paper is devoid of complex colors; only lines of varying shades are used to outline Tomoyo's profile.

Her flowing hair cascaded in natural waves, her hands were clasped in a graceful gesture, and the faint smile in her eyes vividly portrayed her gentle and serene temperament.

"Ye Zi, your drawing is amazing! You've improved so fast!" Xiao Ying looked up at Ye Hui with admiration.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

Tomoyo also leaned over to look at the painting, her eyes widening slightly in surprise.

The self in the painting appears more gentle and graceful than usual, and even the light and shadow of the sunlight falling on the hair are delicately captured.

She looked at the painting, then looked up at Ye Hui, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. Her voice was soft as she said, "Ye... you painted me so beautifully, even more beautiful than I am in real life."

"No, it's just that you're naturally very beautiful, your natural charm is undeniable." Ye Hui smiled slightly.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +18】

"Who's next as a model?" Ye Hui put away his sketchbook.

"I'll do it!" Sakura volunteered, hopping and skipping to sit in the spot where Tomoyo had just been sitting, making sure to straighten her back.

But she was naturally lively and active, and she started to get restless after sitting for only two minutes.

He would scratch his head for a moment, then couldn't help but move his feet, his eyes glancing around out the window.

"Sakura, don't move around too much, or you'll draw crooked lines," Ye Hui reminded her.

"I didn't want to either, but it's so uncomfortable to sit still all the time," Sakura pouted.

Tomoyo chuckled softly from the side, "It's okay, Sakura. You don't need to put on airs. Just be yourself. Whether you're quiet or energetic, you're the cutest."

"Really?" Sakura's eyes lit up and she immediately looked at Tomoyo.

"Yes!" Tomoyo nodded emphatically, her purple eyes full of affirmation.

Encouraged, Sakura instantly relaxed and stopped trying to restrain herself. Sometimes she would stare blankly with her chin in her hand, and other times she couldn't help but grin.

Hmm. As expected, Tomoyo knows how to talk.

Ye Hui looked at Xiaoying's vivid appearance, his eyes flickered, and he picked up his pen and quickly sketched on the drawing paper.

This time, instead of drawing static portraits, he created a set of Q-version animated emoticons.

Some puffed out their cheeks and made faces, some laughed with their mouths open, revealing their fangs, some stood with their hands on their hips looking sullen, and some stared blankly with an adorable expression.
"It's finished!" In less than ten minutes, Ye Hui put down his pen and turned the drawing board towards the two of them.

"Is that really me? I'm so cute, hehe~" Sakura looked at herself in the drawing, her eyes sparkling. "Yoko, you're amazing!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

Tomoyo looked at it very carefully: "Ye-kun's drawings are really good. Every single one of them captures Sakura's cutest side."

She looked at Ye Hui and asked, "Ye, could you give me this set of paintings? I want to scan them into my computer and make them into real emojis to save."

"Of course." Ye Hui generously tore off a piece of paper and handed it to her. "It's an honor for this painting to be preserved by Tomoyo-chan."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Incidentally, he also glanced at Tomoyo's painting.

Tomoyo's Sakura is not only vividly portrayed, but also filled with a loving filter.
"Now it's Yezi's turn to be the model! I'm going to make you look really handsome!" Sakura picked up her colored pencils, looking very serious.

Ye Hui sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Given Sakura's signature drawing style, he could roughly guess what he would end up with. Sure enough, not long after, Sakura held up her drawing board and shouted that it was finished.

The drawing paper depicts a chubby QQ character wearing the same school uniform as him, with a few tufts of hair sticking up on his head and an exaggerated upward curve drawn at the corner of his mouth.

Forget about being handsome, he doesn't resemble himself at all.

Ye Hui looked at the painting, both amused and exasperated: "Is this really me? I don't remember my hair being this frizzy, do I?"

"Oh, it's just artistic license!" Sakura declared confidently, but then her attention was drawn to Tomoyo's drawing, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Tomoyo, you draw so well! It looks just like a printed photograph!"

Ye Hui leaned over to take a look and was also somewhat surprised.

Tomoyo's paintings are realistic sketches. In the paper, she is sitting by the window, with her elbows resting on the edge of the table, her fingertips lightly touching her chin, and a faint smile on her lips.

Even the faint shadows cast by the sunlight on his collar and the gentle expression in his eyes were precisely captured, making him appear even more composed than usual.

"Zhi Shi, how long have you been studying painting?" Ye Hui couldn't help but ask.

Tomoyo gently shook her head: "I didn't study it specifically. I just like taking pictures of Sakura in my spare time. In order to capture her expressions accurately, I gradually developed the habit of observing the details of people."

She paused, looked up at Ye Hui, and said in a soft but sincere voice, "Besides, Ye is very handsome, with clear features and expressions, so it's naturally much easier to draw him."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

Oh dear, Tomoyo-chan praised me again!

Being praised by such a gentle person every day, who could resist that?

Looking into Tomoyo's smiling purple eyes, his smile deepened as well.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the art class and lunch break.

Sakura, carrying the lunchbox prepared by Fujitaka, dashed to Naoko's seat and enthusiastically took her hand: "Naoko, you brought lunch? Let's go eat over there!"

"Okay." Naoko nodded and took out a bento box from her schoolbag.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi followed along, carrying their lunchboxes, and encountered Chiharu and Rika along the way.

The group found a quiet corner, sat around on a bench under the shade of a tree, and opened their lunch boxes.

"Naoko, are you reading again?" Sakura asked curiously as she ate her rice ball and noticed Naoko holding a book while eating, her eyes glancing at the pages every now and then.

Upon hearing this, Naoko picked up the book.

The cover features a giant, cyan-gold dragon coiled around a cloud-shrouded mountain peak; the book is titled "Dinosaur Mountain."

"Yes, I borrowed it from the library; it's a fantasy novel." Her tone carried a rare hint of excitement.

"A fantasy novel?" Sakura put down her chopsticks. "What kind of story is it?"

"It's so interesting!" Naoko nodded vigorously, her eyes lighting up as she talked about the book's contents. "It's about a boy who sets off on an adventure alone, carrying his backpack, to find the legendary dragon that guards Dinosaur Mountain."

"There's a red dragon that breathes fire inside, and an ancient tortoise bigger than a mountain. Every time we encounter danger, my heart races!"

Wow! Did that boy finally find the dragon?

"Found him! And he even became good friends with the dragon, together defeating the villains who wanted to dig up the treasure of Dinosaur Mountain!" Naoko said excitedly.

Li Jia listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "So, after they defeat the bad guys, is Dinosaur Mountain safe?"

"Yes! The dragon even gave the boy a dragon scale, which can grant him one wish!" Naoko became more and more excited as she spoke, and simply turned to the illustration page of the book to show the others. "Look, this is what the dragon looks like. Isn't it majestic?"

Just as the group was engrossed in discussing the illustration, a lively figure suddenly popped out from behind the tree: "Hey! What are you guys talking about that's so interesting!"

The person who came was Li Meiling.

She was carrying a lunchbox with a panda pattern on it, and her hair was tied in neat pigtails, so she looked like she was also looking for a place to have lunch.

"Meiling!" Sakura smiled and waved. "We're talking about the fantasy novel Naoko is reading. It's really interesting!"

"Fantasy novel?" Li Meiling curiously leaned closer, glanced at the book cover in Naoko's hand, then curled her lip, raised her chin slightly, and said with a hint of pride, "We have plenty of stories like this in China, many more exciting than this!"

She patted her chest and said, "In our Chinese mythology, there are horses that can run a thousand miles in a day, and old men with white beards so long they can cover a hundred tatami mats. Those are truly amazing!"

"Really? A beard that long?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise.

“Of course!” Li Meiling said decisively, “Our Chinese culture is profound and extensive!”

Ye Hui, listening from the side, couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Meiling suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to the group, asking, "By the way, have you seen Xiaolang? I made plans to have lunch with him, but I can't find him anywhere! Honestly!"

Chiharu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "When I was passing by the corridor just now, I think I saw Li walking towards the top floor alone, carrying a lunchbox in her hand."

"Really? Thank you so much, Chiharu!" Li Meiling's eyes lit up. She immediately put down the lunchbox she was about to open, turned around and ran towards the teaching building. "I'm going to find him!"

Watching her disappearing figure in a flash, Sakura couldn't help but sigh, "Mei Ling really is... she gets especially anxious whenever Li's name is mentioned."

She turned to Ye Hui, who hadn't said much, and asked, "Ye Zi, are all those Chinese myths that Mei Ling mentioned really true?"

"Of course there is." Ye Hui nodded. "But the white-bearded old man she mentioned is probably an exaggeration."

"Our Chinese civilization does indeed have many interesting myths and legends, such as Pangu who created the world, Kuafu who ran to chase the sun, and Nuwa who refined five-colored stones to repair the sky."

He briefly explained the facts to the few curious "little listeners," which made Xiaoying and Lijia exclaim in amazement.

After school, the setting sun cast long shadows of the group.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, Zhi Shi, and Naoko walked home together.

As Naoko passed a used bookstore on the street corner, she suddenly stopped.

The bookstore's wooden signboard was somewhat faded, and several stacks of old books were piled up in the window, exuding a faint scholarly atmosphere.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" she said, pointing to the bookstore. "You can often find out-of-print books in these secondhand bookstores. Who knows, we might discover some treasure."

“Okay!” Sakura readily agreed, peeking into the bookstore. “Naoko, you really love reading! Last time, even your teacher praised your insightful book report in class.”

After being praised by Sakura, Naoko's cheeks flushed slightly, and she scratched her head a little shyly: "Actually, it's not that good, I just watched it very carefully."

"Zhi Shi also enjoys reading. She even recommended a collection of essays about photography to me last time," Ye Hui added with a smile.

“Yes, yes, Tomoyo knows so much!” Sakura nodded in agreement.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Tomoyo smiled gently and reached out to brush a stray hair from her ear: "I just read a wide variety of things. Naoko's understanding of novels is truly amazing."

As they talked, they pushed open the creaking wooden door of the bookstore.

Naoko and the others went in first.

Just as Ye Hui and the others were about to follow them inside, Xiao Ying suddenly stopped in her tracks and froze on the spot.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Tomoyo noticed her unusual behavior and quickly stepped forward, her gaze falling on Sakura's slightly furrowed brows.

Sakura's brows furrowed even more. She slowly turned her head, her gaze fixed on the other side of the street, and her voice softened: "Over there... I think I sense something strange."

Ye Hui followed her gaze.

Across the street was a row of shops, with people coming and going, seemingly quite ordinary.

He paused, quickly recalled, and then it dawned on him.

It seems the story of creating a brand is about to begin.

but……

His gaze returned to the secondhand bookstore in front of him, where old books in the wooden display window gleamed softly in the setting sun.

If I remember correctly, the character was created by possessing the fantasy novel that Naoko liked.

That book is most likely lying somewhere in this bookstore right now.

What was that aura that Sakura sensed across the street?
Ye Hui calmly activated his divine sense, scanning his surroundings.

Sure enough, a faint golden light emanated from the depths of the bookstore, hinting at a hidden treasure.

It has the aura of the Clow Cards; it must be the Creation Card.

Meanwhile, in the buildings across the street, another golden light of treasure was moving rapidly, flickering and constantly changing shape.

Is it a big brand?
Ye Hui secretly raised an eyebrow.

Goodness, two Clow Cards have appeared together, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Ye-kun? Is what Sakura sensed real?" Tomoyo noticed the slight change in Ye Hui's expression and knew that something was amiss, so she asked softly.

Ye Hui nodded, his tone certain: "Yes, and there's more than one. There's also a faint scent in the bookstore."

"Huh?! There are two?" Sakura's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly focused her senses again.

This time, she also captured the magic of the bookstore that seemed to blend seamlessly with the scent of old books.

"Really! I was so focused on looking across the street that I didn't even notice what was inside the store!"

"So what do we do now? Should we go look for it right away?" Tomoyo looked at the two of them.

Sakura's gaze darted back and forth between the bookstore and the street across the street, clearly conflicted.

Naoko was still waiting for them at the shop. They couldn't just leave them there and go off to collect the Clow Cards, could they?
Moreover, with people coming and going on the streets, it would be easy to be discovered if magic were used.

She subconsciously looked at Ye Hui.

"What's wrong? Why are the three of you standing at the door instead of coming in?" Li Jia's voice came from the side. She saw the three of them huddled together whispering and walked over curiously. "Did something happen?"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Sakura quickly waved her hand, forcing a smile. "We were just saying the bookstore looks interesting, we'll go in right away!"

Tomoyo smiled slightly as she looked at Sakura trying to appear calm: "It's alright, Sakura. If it's urgent, we can..."

"No rush." ​​Ye Hui interrupted her, a calm smile playing on his lips. "The Clow Cards on the other side of the street move very fast. Even if we chase after them now, we might not be able to catch them. Besides, there are too many people around, making it inconvenient to move around. Why don't we come back tonight and spend some time with Naoko and the others reading?"

“Yes!” Sakura nodded immediately.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

"Let's go in and take a look." Ye Hui pushed open the bookstore door first, and the smell of old paper hit him.

Taking the opportunity, Tomoyo grasped Sakura's hands, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "That's great! My new design is ready, I can show it to you when we get back!"

Upon hearing the words "new clothes," Sakura's expression instantly turned awkward: "Tomoyo... there's no need for that."

Looking at Sakura's embarrassed and awkward appearance, and then at the undisguised expectation in Tomoyo's eyes, Ye Hui couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

He stepped into the bookstore first, already having made his plans.

The big cards are constantly moving around, so it's not too late to look for them at night when there are fewer people. Right now, we need to find the fantasy novel that has possessed Souhachi before Naoko does.

The bookstore was small and dimly lit, illuminated only by a few old incandescent bulbs.

The air was filled with the musty smell of old paper and the faint scent of ink, creating a unique aroma that belonged only to the old bookstore.

The bookshelves were packed tightly together, piled high with yellowed books, most of the writing on the spines of which was already blurred.

Ye Hui pretended to be casually browsing, his fingers occasionally brushing against the spines of books on the shelves, but his divine sense was rapidly scanning the entire bookstore.

Soon, he was in an inconspicuous corner at the very back.

There were several stacks of old books that no one had bothered with; he found the target he was looking for.

Ye Hui calmly pulled the book out of the pile of books. Just as he held it in his hand, he heard Naoko's voice coming from not far away, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Wow! There are so many rare fantasy novels here! I'm so lucky!"

Turning around, I saw Naoko carrying several books that almost covered her face, walking towards me excitedly.

"Ye Hui, what book are you holding?" She leaned closer, staring curiously at the book Ye Hui was hiding behind his back.

"Oh, this... It's a book about magicians." Ye Hui casually took the book out from behind him.

"That sounds interesting!" Naoko's eyes lit up. "Can I borrow it after you've finished reading it?"

"Of course," Ye Hui readily agreed.

At that moment, Tomoyo and Sakura also walked up to her.

Tomoyo glanced around discreetly, making sure Rika and Chiharu were by another bookshelf, before lowering her voice to ask, "Ye-kun, is this the book with the Clow Cards attached?"

Ye Hui nodded slightly and tapped the cover lightly: "That's right, this is the creation brand. As long as you write your story on it, the content will become real. You have to keep it safe."

Upon hearing this, Sakura quickly patted her chest: "Luckily, Ye found it first! If someone else had taken it and written on it, that would have been a real problem!"

Tomoyo nodded in agreement: "Luckily, it wasn't delayed, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

"Shall we seal it away now?" Sakura stared at the seemingly ordinary book.

It's not entirely unremarkable; the cover features a magic circle, making it somewhat similar to other covers.

"No rush." ​​Ye Hui shook his head and closed the book. "There are too many people here. Let's talk at my place later to avoid making too much noise and getting discovered."

"Okay!" Sakura immediately agreed, subconsciously glancing around, afraid that her classmates would notice something was amiss.

Ye Hui took the book to the counter, then randomly picked two unrelated essays and comics from the bookshelf next to him and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shop owner was an elderly man with gray hair. He slowly glanced at the spine of the book and quoted the price.

Just as Ye Hui was taking out his money to pay, the task log suddenly popped up.

[You, along with Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidoji Tomoyo, a Dharma Protector, arrive at the abandoned library of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. The treasures here have already been looted, but some have always slipped through the net!]

[You've discovered two secret treasures of the Immortal Talisman Sect: the Creation Talisman Spirit and the Giant Object Talisman Spirit! However, due to your weak strength and meager fortune, this means you can only choose one! Oh no, if you hadn't used a cunning scheme to keep the Creation Talisman Spirit for yourself, you wouldn't have gotten either!]

Looking at the Creation Spirit Talisman in your hand, and then thinking about the raging behemoth Spirit Talisman, you immediately made a decision. You decided to get your hands on this easier-to-obtain treasure first, and as for the other one... well, let Kinomoto Sakura deal with it!

But then you think again, and you're extremely unwilling! As Kinomoto Sakura's nemesis, the future head disciple of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, a peerless genius of our time, and the person with whom Daidouji Tomoyo is destined, you can't let go of any cultivation opportunity!

[You have refreshed the character side quest – "Outsmarting the Two Talismans"!]

Finally, the quest appeared!
Ye Hui glanced at the system log and curled his lip.

What does it mean to have weak strength and little fortune?
He's already at the Golden Core stage!
With so many titles... is there enough room for all of us?
Moreover, what do you mean by leaving it to Sakura to worry about?
This was clearly a strategic choice made after careful consideration!

The big shot's abilities are simple and straightforward, perfect for Sakura to practice on.

more importantly……

Now that he has a customizable secret realm, if he wants to train Sakura, he can just take her there to fight monsters, right?
Why insist on fighting to the death with the creation of a brand?

After paying for the book, Ye Hui and his friends said goodbye to Naoko and Rika, specifically telling Naoko that they would lend her the book after they finished reading the story of the magician.

Watching the group leave together, he led Sakura and Tomoyo towards his villa.

Pushing open the villa door, Ye Hui led the two directly into the study.

The heavy solid wood door slowly opened, and Sakura exclaimed in surprise, "Ye-kun, your study is so big!"

The study occupies most of the first floor of the villa, with one wall entirely made up of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, neatly filled with books.

Judging from the covers, there are literary classics, historical books, and many thread-bound books with unique covers.

"And there are so many books!" Sakura went up to the bookshelf.

"If you're interested, feel free to come and visit anytime," Ye Hui said with a slight smile.

Aside from some common books, the rest of the books in his study were all copies of cultivation manuals or insights into supernatural abilities.

He walked to the desk in the center and placed the fantasy novel with the label attached on the table.

"Alright, let's deal with this Clow Card first."

Sakura stared at the faint magic circle on the book cover, then suddenly frowned, a terrifying possibility arising in her mind: "Creating cards can make what's written on them a reality... So if someone writes 'World Destruction' on it, will the world really be destroyed?"

Ye Hui curled the corners of his mouth: "Theoretically, that's how it is. But don't worry, its magic power also has an upper limit; it's not that exaggerated."

This brand has enormous potential.

The final effect depends entirely on the user's magical power and imagination.
