Chapter 152 Confirming the Hong Kong Trip! A Sudden Attack!

"Huh? I have to wait until I finish my homework?" Sakura's face puffed up, and the corners of her mouth pursed up.

She thought she could pack her bags and leave in a few days, but she didn't expect to have to wait so long!
"Can't we go play first and do our homework when we get back?" Sakura looked at Ye Hui with her big, watery eyes.

Ye Hui glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "No way! Do you think you can have fun if you go on a trip with a ton of homework, play all day and then stay up all night doing homework? Besides, haven't you had enough of the struggle of catching up on homework before school starts?"

"It seems...to be true." Sakura thought about the embarrassment of staying up all night to finish her homework before the start of the last semester and nodded silently.

But soon, she clenched her little fist: "Then when I get back, I must finish my homework as quickly as possible!"

She went to great lengths to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery!
A few days later, Sakura and Tomoyo came to Ye Hui's house to discuss the details of their trip.

The heating in Ye Hui's living room was on full blast, and the faint aroma of black tea lingered in the air.

Sakura lay on the soft carpet, holding a thick Chinese travel guide in her hands, the pages rustling as she turned them, her little face full of confusion.

"So where are we going? I feel like I want to go everywhere."

Tomoyo sat on the sofa, holding a steaming cup of black tea in her hands, her fingers gently gripping the handle. She would then add some hot water to Ye Hui's cup as well.

Xiao Ke, meanwhile, was sprawled out on the single sofa next to her, her round belly bulging from eating, and she kept burping.

—It just finished a whole strawberry mousse cake in one go, and now it doesn't want to move at all.

"Ah, Ye Hui-kun! Tomoyo-chan! Look, this is Beijing!" Sakura suddenly pointed to the picture in the book, her voice excited. "There's the Great Wall! And the Forbidden City! Wow, it looks so magnificent in this picture, I really want to stand on the Great Wall and see it!"

Before the two could respond, she turned to the next page.

As she scrolled through the pages, she stopped at the page introducing Chengdu and swallowed hard. "This Chengdu looks like it's full of delicious food! Hot pot, skewers... Just looking at the pictures makes it smell so good! It must be better than the ramen near my school!"

Sakura would exclaim in surprise every time she turned a page.

Ye Hui sat next to Zhi Shi, watching Sakura lying on the carpet, excited like a little squirrel, and leisurely took a sip of black tea.

Sakura-chan is just so adorably naive!

It was just a simple trip, but it was being made to look like some major academic research project.

"But all these places look so fun, I really don't know which one to choose."

After flipping through the entire guidebook, Sakura frowned, placed the travel guide on her lap, and looked conflicted.

Seeing Sakura's expression, which was both happy and troubled, Tomoyo smiled gently with her purple eyes and softly comforted her, "It's okay, Sakura."

"We have plenty of time during winter break, so there's no need to rush. We can take our time choosing. If it doesn't work out, we can always go again later. Anyway, the travel permits aren't that hard to get these days."

As she spoke, she handed the nearly cold black tea in her hand to Ye Hui.

Ye Hui took the cup without hesitation, walked to the kettle next to her, refilled it with hot water, added a small sugar cube, and then handed it back.

"I've got an idea!" Sakura suddenly sat up on the carpet, her eyes lighting up, and offered a suggestion very much in her "Sakura" style, "Let's just close our eyes and point to any place on the map! We'll go wherever we point! That way we won't have to worry about it!"

"Huh? That's a good idea, it's exciting. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, didn't we discuss some places beforehand?"

Ye Hui suppressed a laugh, nodded seriously, and teased her on purpose, "But you'd better think it over. If you point to some godforsaken deserted area, we'll have to camp in the middle of nowhere, and we might even hear wolves howling at night."

"Huh? Could...could this really happen?" Sakura's voice suddenly weakened as images involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

In the pitch-black wilderness, only a small campfire was burning.

She, Ye Hui, and Zhi Shi huddled together in the tent, shivering. Outside, wolves howled, and the wind howled through the tent.
It's terrifying to even think about!
She quickly hugged the travel guide to her chest, dismissing the unreliable idea, and whispered, "Well... I'd better study it more carefully. Pointing randomly is too risky."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Just as Sakura buried herself back into the travel guide, her face contorted with worry, Kero finally sat up slowly on the sofa.

It stretched, its round belly jiggling, and sniffed the air intently. Its eyes lit up: "Hmm... what smells so good?"

Its gaze locked precisely on the plate of daifuku that had just been served on the coffee table, and with its little wings flapping, it rushed toward the coffee table.

"It's a snack!"

Ye Hui grabbed Xiao Ke by the back of the neck with one hand and lifted her up.

With her other hand, she moved the plate of daifuku closer to Tomoyo: "You just finished a mousse cake, and now you want to eat daifuku? Aren't you afraid of eating until you're a ball and can't even flap your wings?"

Little Ke, suspended in mid-air, watched Da Fu get further and further away from her, and frantically waved her paws: "Hey! You brat! Give me back my snack! I'm not full yet!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

"I'll consider letting you eat it again when you've successfully lost weight and lost some of the fat on your belly."

Ye Hui slowly put Xiao Ke down, picked up a Daifuku, waved it in front of its eyes, and then took a bite.

The sweet and sour taste of strawberries and the rich aroma of cream spread in your mouth.

He even squinted his eyes deliberately, "Hmm, it tastes really good, even better than the one I bought last time."

Xiaoke: "..."

It stared at Ye Hui's chewing movements, its ears drooping, and even its tail stopped wagging.

It felt its animalistic nature had been insulted like never before!
[Kerberos's Mood Value +18]

Sakura wholeheartedly agrees.

But after being stared at by Xiao Ke's beady eyes for a while, she softened.

She picked up the smallest daifuku from the plate and handed it to Xiao Ke: "Okay, Xiao Ke, this is for you, but you can only have one, or you'll feel uncomfortable if you eat too many."

Xiao Ke's eyes lit up instantly, and she pounced over, hugged Da Fu, and started nibbling at it bit by bit with her paws.

Its round body curled up into a ball, the grievances from before vanished instantly, and it was still muttering incoherently.

"Sakura is still the best...~~"

"By the way, Xiao Ke."

Sakura suddenly remembered the trip and patted Kero's head. "Aren't we planning to travel to China during winter break? Do you have any recommendations for places?"

"China?" Xiao Ke paused in her dafuku-eating, looked up, her paws still smeared with cream, and snorted, "Didn't I tell you we could go to Hong Kong? The dim sum there is amazing! Kuro and I went once before, and the shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and char siu buns were bursting with filling! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

As it spoke, it subconsciously wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth, a look of lingering enjoyment on its face.

"Hong Kong?" Sakura's curiosity was piqued by Keroberos's description, and she immediately flipped through a travel guide, quickly finding the page about Hong Kong.

It features nighttime views of Victoria Harbour and photos of various food streets, making it look lively and interesting.

"Then let's stick with this one," Sakura said.

She turned her head and looked at Ye Hui expectantly: "Ye Hui, how about we go to Hong Kong? Hong Kong is very close to your home, right? Maybe we can visit your home while we're there."

Ye Hui touched his chin.

Hong Kong is indeed a good choice.

It has both tourist attractions and many local delicacies.

This is also a good opportunity to let Sakura and Tomoyo experience the Hong Kong style.

This was one of the places they had originally chosen.

However, Ye Hui was also very clear about this.

According to the original storyline, Sakura and her friends were supposed to go to Hong Kong during winter break.

There, they will not only encounter Li Xiaolang's family, but also be unexpectedly drawn into a magical incident due to the trouble caused by Clow Reed.

He had previously considered changing the destination so he could avoid the predetermined storyline and have some fun.

But since Sakura wants to go, there's no harm in her going.

Moreover, Ye Hui estimated that Xiao Ke would definitely use her obsession with Hong Kong dim sum to lure them to Hong Kong.

"Fine, I'll go then."

The key point is that Hong Kong is indeed a very suitable destination for Sakura and Tomoyo's first trip to China.

Thinking of this, Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go to Hong Kong then. It's been a long time since I've been there, and I'll take you to try some authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum."

You watch indignantly as Sakura Kinomoto, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, easily alters your long-planned trial strategy based on a few words from the sealed beast Keroberos! But then you realize this might be a perfect opportunity to further increase your favorability with her! A wicked smile creeps onto your lips!

"Great!" Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Sakura jumped up from the carpet, cheering excitedly and waving her travel guide around. "Let's go! Let's go to Hong Kong! Hehehe~"

Tomoyo sat on the sofa, watching Sakura hopping around, and said with a gentle smile, "I'm really looking forward to the Hong Kong trip too."

Once the destination was decided, Sakura was like a little rabbit that had run wild, unable to stop.

She sidled up to Tomoyo, pointing to pictures in the travel guide and chattering away, "Tomoyo, look! The book says Hong Kong's night view is one of the three best in the world! We absolutely have to go to Victoria Peak; I heard you can see all of Hong Kong's lights from there, it must be incredibly beautiful!"

Tomoyo listened patiently and responded gently, "We can plan the itinerary slowly, listing all the places you want to go and the things you want to eat, and try to experience them all this time."

"Mmm!" Sakura nodded vigorously, her excitement undiminished.

She turned to look at Xiao Ke, who was lying on the coffee table, hugging a daifuku and with cream all over her face, and asked curiously, "Xiao Ke, you just said that you and Mr. Clow Reed went to Hong Kong before, is that true? Are the snacks there really as delicious as you say?"

"Of course!" Xiao Ke swallowed the daifuku in her mouth, raised her head, and began to gesture with her paws still covered in cream, looking very proud. "When I went with Kuro, we ate shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and hot char siu buns every day! The skin was thin and the filling was plentiful, and every bite was full of juice! Leave it to me then, I'll take you to the most authentic cha chaan teng!"

Ye Hui glanced at it suspiciously.

Decades have passed.

Are you sure that tea restaurant is still open?
"Yay!" Sakura responded loudly and immediately sprawled onto the sofa.

She intended to lean closer to ask for more details, but her elbow accidentally bumped into the cushion next to her.

The pillow suddenly sprang out with a "biu" sound, hitting Xiao Ke squarely and sending it flying half a meter away, along with the unfinished daifuku.

"Sakura—!"

Xiao Ke did a somersault in the air and landed steadily on the carpet. Looking at Da Fu, who had rolled to the side, she angrily waved her paws wildly.

Sakura quickly climbed off the sofa, stuck out her tongue sheepishly, and picked up the daifuku, handing it back to it.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just too excited..."

"It's all dirty!" Xiao Ke said angrily.

For the rest of the afternoon, Sakura's loud and boisterous voice echoed in the living room.

Sakura was in charge of listing the tourist attractions she wanted to visit and the food she wanted to eat.

Tomoyo took out her notebook and wrote down notes stroke by stroke, checking the location from time to time and thoughtfully marking the distance and transportation methods between each location.

Xiao Ke would occasionally come over and offer her opinions on which dim sum restaurant was the best, acting like a true "Hong Kong expert."

It didn't take long.

A detailed travel guide to Hong Kong has just been released.

From the itinerary after arrival on the first day, to the attractions and restaurants to visit each day, even the shopping routes were planned out in detail.

Looking at the densely written itinerary, Ye Hui couldn't help but sigh that girls really do have an innate talent for planning trips.

"Done! Perfect!" Sakura put down her pen, spread her notebook full of schedules on the coffee table, and clapped her hands with a sense of accomplishment.

Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a beautiful arc: "We've done a lot of detailed research. I'm already looking forward to this trip."

"Oh, right!" Sakura suddenly stood up from the carpet, clapped her hands, and had a great idea. She announced, "To celebrate the successful completion of our trip, and to thank Ye Hui for helping me with math and Tomoyo for helping me with my studies, I've decided—everyone come to my house for dinner tonight! I'll have my dad make his best dish, sweet and sour pork ribs!"

"Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer." Ye Hui agreed with a smile, he really missed Tenglong's cooking.

Especially the sweet and sour pork ribs, they are truly delicious!
Tomoyo smiled gently: "Of course I'm very happy to be a guest at Sakura's house."

……

In the evening, the three of them walked together to the ground floor of the Kinomoto family's house.

Tomoyo stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong-"

A few seconds later, the door was opened from the inside, and Touya, dressed in his pajamas, opened it.

"Onii-chan! We're back!" Sakura rushed over, took Touya's arm, and said affectionately.

Touya hummed in agreement, but his gaze bypassed Sakura and landed squarely on Ye Hui.

Why is this kid coming to his house to freeload again?
【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

Ye Hui remained expressionless and nodded slightly: "Good evening, Brother Tao Shi. We meet again."

That "Touya-nii" was delivered with such fluency and warmth.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them had a very good relationship.

Touya's eyebrow twitched.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

He deliberately ignored Ye Hui and turned to Zhi Shi: "Zhi Shi, good evening."

"Good evening, Touya-nii. Sorry to bother you." Tomoyo smiled politely.

"Come in quickly, Dad has already prepared dinner." Touya stepped aside to let them in.

Tomoyo followed Sakura into the house.

Ye Hui followed him in.

I had just changed my shoes when I heard Fujitaka's voice coming from the kitchen.

"Welcome back, Sakura."

Fujitaka, wearing an apron, came out carrying a plate of freshly made fried pork cutlets. When he saw them, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Ye Hui, Zhi Shi, welcome to my home. Please have a seat."

"Hello, Uncle Fujitaka." Ye Hui and Zhi Shi greeted him in unison.

"Go wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon."

A few minutes later, a sumptuous dinner was served.

The restaurant is filled with bright red sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings coated in rich sauce, golden and crispy Japanese fried pork cutlets, and a steaming pot of oden filled with radish, seaweed, and fish balls, the aroma permeating the entire space.

"I'm starting!" The group clasped their hands together in prayer.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura was the first to pick up her chopsticks, grabbed the largest piece of sweet and sour pork rib, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The sweet and sour sauce spread in her mouth, and the tender meat fell off the bone, making her squint her eyes happily: "Daddy's cooking is still so delicious~!" "Eat more if you like it, and get more if you're not full." Fujitaka put down his chopsticks, looked lovingly at Sakura's chubby cheeks, and reached out to pick up a cola chicken wing for her, his eyes full of affection.

At the dining table, Sakura munched on ribs while enthusiastically telling Fujitaka and Touya about their upcoming trip to Hong Kong.

"Dad, brother, we've decided! We're going to Hong Kong for winter break! Everyone says the dim sum there is amazing, with shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and char siu bao that bursts with juice!"

"Hong Kong?" Fujitaka paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "It does sound really good. The night view of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong is famous, and there are many other interesting places. You'll definitely like it when you go."

"Hey! We even made a super detailed itinerary!" Sakura nodded vigorously, put down her chopsticks, and gestured excitedly, "We're going to experience all the delicious food and fun activities!"

Seeing the undisguised joy on his daughter's face, Fujitaka's eyes filled with even more doting affection.

But then he remembered something and said apologetically, "But unfortunately, Dad is going abroad for an important archaeological project during the winter break. He will be away on business for a while and may not be able to go with you."

"Huh? Dad, aren't you going?" Sakura's smile froze for a moment, and she looked a little disappointed.

She had originally planned to go out and play with her dad!

"I'm sorry, Sakura." Fujitaka reached out and patted her head. "When Daddy gets back from this business trip, I'll take you somewhere else to play, okay?"

"Hmm... Dad, you should take care of yourself while you're working, don't overwork yourself." Although Sakura was disappointed, she still nodded understandingly and picked up her chopsticks again, but her movements were a little slower when picking up food.

Ye Hui sat to the side, his heart unmoved.

If Fujitaka doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go; it's not a big deal anyway.

He looked up at Touya. Since Fujitaka wasn't going, shouldn't it be the turn of this brother who was obsessed with his sister to make his appearance next?
Sure enough, Fujitaka looked at Sakura's listless appearance and turned to Touya, who was engrossed in eating fried pork cutlet: "Touya, don't you have some free time during winter break? You said before that the place where you work will be closed for the Spring Festival. Why don't you go to Hong Kong with Sakura and the others? It's been a long time since you've traveled far from home. It would be good for you to relax."

"Huh?" Touya, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up, his mouth still full of food, and retorted, "I've already made plans for my winter break. I'm going to work at several other stores. How could I have time to play with this monster?"

"Onii-chan—!! Who are you calling a monster?!" Sakura instantly bristled, put down her chopsticks, and glared angrily at Touya. "How do I look like a monster? You're the monster!"

"Whoever agrees, agrees," Touya said casually, glancing at her.

"You!" Sakura was speechless, only able to glare at her older brother with her eyes.

Ye Hui sat opposite, watching the interaction between the brother and sister with great interest, secretly finding it amusing.

Touya's hypocrisy is all too obvious.

You probably really want to go, but you're just pretending to be unwilling.

Under Sakura's death stare that lasted for more than a minute, and her silent accusation, Touya finally 'lost'.

He sighed heavily, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and put on a helpless expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you."

Tsk tsk~ She clearly wanted to go with her sister, and she would definitely bring her best friend along as well, Rabbit.

You're still pretending so reluctantly.

I wonder if this sister-obsessed guy would blush if I exposed him on the spot.

Touya looked up, avoiding Sakura's gaze, and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that. Anyone who doesn't know better would think I'm bullying you."

"It's just going to Hong Kong, right? I'll switch shifts with my job and go with you guys."

Hearing this, Sakura's eyes lit up instantly, her earlier disappointment vanishing. She immediately leaned over, grabbed Touya's arm, and shook it: "Really? Onii-chan, you're so kind! We'll go get some sweets together!"

Touya's arm went numb from being shaken, but he didn't push her away. He just frowned and said rudely, "Stop shaking me, or I'll throw up my food."

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to go with you, but... you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions? I'll agree to ten, not just one!" Sakura nodded without thinking, afraid that he would change his mind the next second.

As long as my brother can go with me, I'll do anything, even wash his socks for a month.
Well, she wasn't really willing.

Touya's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he slowly held up five fingers: "It's simple. After you return from your trip, cover five shifts for me."

Everyone knew perfectly well what he meant by "on duty."

This refers to the weekly task of cleaning the house.

In the past, when it was Sakura's turn to clean, she always complained that it was too much trouble and Touya had to urge her several times before she would start.

"Is that all?" Sakura was taken aback.

She thought it would be some difficult condition, but it turned out to be just cleaning.

"Is it really enough for me to cover five shifts for you?"

"What else did you think it was?" Touya raised an eyebrow, withdrew his hand, and picked up his chopsticks again. "So? Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I'll go talk to the place where I work right now and set the deadline."

"I agree! Of course I agree!" Sakura nodded quickly, afraid he would change his mind. "It's just five shifts, no problem!"

Although cleaning was a bit of a hassle, it was nothing compared to the trip to Hong Kong!

"Then it's settled, no take-backs allowed."

Touya, with a look of "I'm at a disadvantage," picked up a piece of fried pork cutlet and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ye Hui watched from the side, secretly grumbling to himself.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

"Also, don't wander around when you get to Hong Kong. If you get lost, I won't be responsible for you."

"Okay!" Sakura replied happily, then picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into Touya's bowl. "Onii-chan, eat up, these ribs are super delicious!"

Fujitaka watched the interaction between the brother and sister, shook his head with a smile, and turned to Ye Hui and Tomoyo, saying, "With Touya following along, I feel much more at ease."

“When you get to Hong Kong, if you have any problems, you can talk to Touya. He's older than you and can take better care of you.”

“Yes, Uncle Fujitaka,” Ye Hui and Zhi Shi replied in unison, and the atmosphere at the dining table became lively again.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

"I'll go open the door!" Sakura volunteered, jumping off the chair and running to open the door in her slippers.

It seems like no one else would come to the house at this time except for Tomoyo and Ye Hui.

Sakura's eyes lit up when she opened the door and saw Yukito standing outside: "Yukito-nii! What brings you here?"

Good evening, Sakura.

Snow Rabbit was carrying a small bag filled with freshly bought fruit. "I just happened to be passing by and thought you might be eating, so I came to check it out. You don't mind if I come and mooch a meal, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind! Snow Rabbit, please come in! Dad made lots of delicious food, including your favorite cola chicken wings!"

Sakura quickly stepped aside to let him in, and enthusiastically took the bag of fruit from his hand, calling out towards the restaurant, "Dad! Yukito-san is here!"

Yukito followed Sakura into the restaurant, where Touya had already pulled out a chair.

He sat down in the empty seat next to Touya.

Hearing Sakura excitedly talk about their upcoming trip to Hong Kong, Yukito also said with interest, "Going to Hong Kong? That sounds really interesting. I've heard from friends that the dim sum there is especially delicious."

"Yeah, yeah! Yukito-kun, do you want to come along too?" Sakura immediately seized the opportunity and extended an invitation, "It'll definitely be more fun with more people!"

Before Yukito could answer, Touya spoke up first: "Yukito, if you're free during winter break, why don't you come with us? It'll be more fun with more people, and Sakura also wants you to come along."

Ye Hui looked at Touya's appearance and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Good grief, inviting friends to travel, and they actually use the name "we".

Have you asked for our opinions?

Snow Rabbit paused for a moment, somewhat hesitant: "Is it really okay? Will my sudden addition disrupt your schedule? And you've already made all the plans, haven't you?"

"No, no! It won't bother you at all!" Sakura quickly waved her hand. "We can still change our strategy, and it'll be even more lively with one more person! We're so happy you could come, Yukito-kun!"

Fujitaka also smiled and agreed, "Yeah, Yukito, if you're free, let's go together. It's good for young people to hang out together."

“I was worried about the safety of those kids, but with you and Touya here, I feel much more at ease.”

Seeing this, Snow Rabbit nodded and said with a smile, "Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for taking me with you."

"Yay!" Sakura clapped her hands excitedly. "If Yukito-san goes too, this trip will be even more perfect!"

I'm getting more and more excited for this trip to Hong Kong!
Sakura kept chuckling.

Touya gave her a disdainful look.

And so, through a series of "coincidences".

The Hong Kong travel team has successfully grown by another member.

For the next few days, Xiaoying was almost always filled with anticipation for her trip to Hong Kong.

One moment she'd pull out a travel guide to repeatedly confirm the attractions, the next she'd lay out the clothes she wanted to bring on the bed and choose which ones to bring.

Even before going to bed, I would discuss with Xiao Ke which snacks to pack for the next day.

In addition to that, she was also frantically doing her homework.
Finally, the day of departure arrived as Sakura eagerly awaited it.

The afternoon before departure.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi went to a stationery store together and bought some notebooks and pens for their trip.

Afterwards, they walked home along the street, discussing the final preparations for their departure the next day.

"I absolutely cannot forget anything I need to bring tomorrow!" Sakura waved her little fist.

"Don't worry, Sakura, I've already compiled a list of essential travel items for you. I'll send it to you when we get home, and you can just check it against the list," Tomoyo said gently.

Then, she took out her phone from her pocket, pulled up the list, and showed it to Xiaoying. It contained many small details, all listed clearly.

"Tomoyo-chan, you're the best~!" Sakura immediately rushed over happily, giving Tomoyo a big hug and rubbing her cheek against her shoulder. "It's so good to have you here!"

Tomoyo's eyes flickered, then she smiled: "I'm very happy to have Sakura here."

Ye Hui followed behind the two, listening to their chattering discussion, a faint smile on his lips.

Although I knew that this trip to Hong Kong would most likely involve trouble caused by the Clow Cards.

But being able to travel with friends, just the anticipation itself is enough to make one happy.

Just then, Ye Hui suddenly stopped and his brows furrowed slightly.

At that moment, a faint yet familiar fluctuation of power emanated from the air.

"Even on holiday, you're still working overtime?"

He sighed helplessly to himself.

I was hoping to relax and prepare for this trip, but it turns out I have to start working again.

"Ye Huijun? What's wrong?" Zhi Shi was the first to notice his unusual behavior. She stopped and turned around, her eyes filled with concern, and gently touched his arm.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

Sakura turned around, looking at him with a puzzled expression, and stopped in her tracks: "Yeah, Ye Huijun, why are you stopping? Are you feeling unwell?"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

"It's not that I'm feeling unwell."

Ye Hui shook his head. "There is the aura of a Clow Card, and it's nearby."

"Huh?! Another Clow Card has appeared?" Sakura's expression instantly switched from excited tourist mode to wary magician mode.

She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the magical fluctuations around her.

A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and pointed to the park entrance not far away: "It really is there! The presence is in that park over there! It seems quite active!"

"Let's go check it out! Don't let it get away, and don't let it hurt anyone else!"

After saying that, Sakura picked up her schoolbag and ran quickly toward the park.

Tomoyo followed behind, lightly slapping her forehead in annoyance: "Ugh, I even took my clothes out of my storage ring today just to go shopping."

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and took out a camera from her spatial ring: "But even without a new battle suit, I absolutely cannot miss the footage of Sakura-chan and Ye Hui-kun fighting!!"

[The Daoist protector, Tomoyo, possesses unwavering resolve! Even without a new spiritual artifact, she was determined to use the recording stone to capture every heroic moment of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple with the Heavenly Spiritual Root! Such dedication should serve as a model for all protectors of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect!]

—Also known as, the self-cultivation of a top-tier fan site admin.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi quickly walked into the penguin park.

The park was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds.

Sakura stopped, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed the magical fluctuations around her. Her brows furrowed slightly: "The aura is nearby, but... it feels so weak, like it could be blown away by the wind at any moment. I can't pinpoint its exact location."

Just as she finished speaking, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from the woods behind her!
"call out--"

The voice was sharp and urgent, carrying an unavoidable force.

An arrow gleaming with a faint silver light was shooting toward Sakura's back.

"Sakura! Watch out!" Tomoyo reacted quickly and instinctively tried to pull her back, but it was too late.

Ye Hui raised his hand almost the instant he heard the sound of something cutting through the air.

A transparent spiritual energy barrier instantly condensed in the air, precisely blocking Sakura's back.

"Clang!" The arrow struck the barrier hard, making a crisp metallic sound, then lost its momentum and fell to the grass, the fletching still trembling slightly.

"Oh...that was close..." Sakura turned around, still shaken, looking at the arrows on the ground. A thin layer of sweat had seeped out on her back. She smiled gratefully at Ye Hui, "Thank you, Ye Hui-kun. If it weren't for you, I would have definitely been hit."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

[You, along with Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity, are discussing the upcoming trial, but your whereabouts have been leaked!]

Just as Sakura Kinomoto was practicing her swordsmanship, an archer who had come seeking an enemy ambushed her! In a panic, Tomoyo Daidouji turned to you for help!

[You still don't understand why Daidouji Tomoyo only remembers you under these circumstances! That damned woman, once you've turned her to your side, you're bound to make her suffer!]

[You have refreshed the side quest for forming a bond – "The Change in Finding the Enemy"!]

Ye Hui's sharp gaze fell in the direction from which the arrow had come.

The bushes deep in the woods rustled.

A little girl with jellyfish-shaped pigtails and wearing a pink and white dress flashed by, holding a bow and arrow with small wings in her hand.
