Chapter 155 The Li Family Old House, Li Xiaolang's Four Older Sisters (Bonus Chapter 317 Million Words)
Ye Hui walked beside him and casually asked, "Do you remember anything special about this place? Like any traces of magic, or any strange buildings?"

He always felt that Xiao Ke's familiarity with Hong Kong went beyond simply having visited a few times.

"A special place?" Xiao Ke tilted her head and thought for a moment, then scratched her chin with her paw. "It seems... there's nothing special about it, right? There are just a few more birds, a few more people, and the fish balls sold on the street taste a little better than elsewhere."

Ye Hui: “…”

Fine, he shouldn't have expected Xiao to provide any useful clues.

This guy's attention is always focused on food; expecting him to offer any ideas is simply a pipe dream.

at this time.

Sakura, who was admiring the birdcage in front of her, suddenly stopped, her brows furrowing slightly as she subconsciously looked around.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Tomoyo was the first to notice her unusual behavior and quickly walked over to ask.

"I...I have a feeling that someone is watching us," Sakura said in a low voice.

The feeling of being spied on made her very uncomfortable, as if someone's gaze was fixed on her.

"Someone is watching us?" Tomoyo immediately became alert upon hearing this.

She glanced at the surrounding crowd without making a sound.

There were elderly people walking around with birdcages, vendors selecting bird food, and tourists like them, all of whom seemed normal, and no suspicious people were found.

Without hesitation, Ye Hui instantly spread his divine sense, like an invisible net, enveloping the entire bird garden.

A few seconds later, he caught the gaze that was watching him. The source was very subtle, but it carried a hint of malice.

"Over there." Ye Hui pointed to the power lines not far away.

Sakura and Tomoyo looked in the direction he was pointing.

On a black power line stood two small birds, each about the size of a palm. Their feathers were a dark grayish-brown, much like ordinary sparrows, but they stared at them without moving, their eyes sharp and lacking the liveliness of ordinary birds. Instead, they exuded hostility.

"Are those two birds?" Sakura also locked onto the target. "Their eyes are so strange, they don't look like ordinary birds at all!"

"Not only do their eyes look strange, but they also have a very evil aura about them!" Xiao Ke peeked out from behind Zhi Shi's long hair, her expression serious, her beady eyes narrowed.

It could sense that the two birds were emanating a malevolent magic.

Wow! Wow!
The two little birds flapped their wings and flew away.

"They ran away!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise as she watched the two birds flap their wings and suddenly fly towards the end of the street.

"Sakura, Tomoyo, hold on tight to me," Ye Hui said quickly to the two people beside him.

Before they could react, he had already grabbed one of them with each hand.

Instantly, a warm touch came from the palms of the two girls.

The next second, the surrounding space distorted slightly, rippling like water.

The three figures vanished from their spot in an instant.

Touya, who was watching birds not far away, noticed something, turned around abruptly, and his sharp gaze swept towards the spot where Ye Hui and the others had just been standing.

However, the place was already deserted, with only tourists coming and going and birdcages hanging there.

He tilted his head.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +18】

On the other side, Ye Hui, along with Xiaoying and Zhishi, appeared directly a few meters in front of the two birds, firmly blocking their path.

Caught off guard, the two birds tucked their wings in and nearly collided, startled by the sudden appearance of the three people.

They let out a sharp cry, immediately turned around, and flew towards the alley on the left.

"Still trying to run?" Ye Hui's eyes narrowed, and he activated the spatial jump again.

The three figures flashed and once again appeared precisely in front of the bird, blocking its path like a barrier.

"Chirp?!" The little bird was completely bewildered.

No matter which way we fly, these three people always manage to block our way?

Could it be that we've encountered a ghost wall?
They shrieked again, flapped their wings frantically, and sped off in the opposite direction, more than twice as fast as before.

With a thought, Ye Hui increased the frequency of spatial jumps.

He didn't want to waste too much time on this.

Otherwise, Touya, that siscon, would probably follow the scent and come looking for us, and then we'd have to explain for ages.

The two little birds felt like they were about to collapse.

They flew to the east, and the three people stood on the east side.

They flew to the west, where the three men blocked their way again.

No matter how they change direction, they can always see that hateful boy with two pretty girls, blocking their way with an easy expression.

"Chirp chirp!" Finally, the two little birds seemed to have exhausted their strength and gave up resisting. They flapped their wings and landed on an inconspicuous four-cornered pavilion on the ground.

"Finally, they've stopped running." Ye Hui chuckled, and landed steadily on the stone path outside the pavilion with Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Ye Huijun, was that teleportation you just did? That was amazing!" Sakura leaned over, full of admiration.

The dizzying sensation during the space jump followed by an instantaneous landing felt both magical and thrilling to her!

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

"It's a kind of supernatural ability called spatial jump, but it can only be used for short distances right now," Ye Hui explained calmly.

"Ye Hui-kun, I've recorded everything from just now." Zhi Shi raised the camera in her hand, the screen still replaying the space jump clip. Her purple eyes sparkled with excitement. "When we get back, I'll study it carefully, see how to edit it, and then add the coolest background music to Ye Hui-kun. It'll definitely make an amazing video!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +14】

The corners of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Please, Tomoyo-chan, please don't add those cringeworthy subtitles like last time, like "A single thought blossoms, a king reigns supreme."

He died in a company too!

"They seem to have gone into that pavilion," Sakura said, her attention shifting to the antique-style four-cornered pavilion ahead.

The pavilion looked quite old; the red wooden pillars had faded, revealing the wood grain underneath, and the pillars were covered with green moss. There were also several broken tiles on the roof, giving it an old and worn feel.

In the very center of the pavilion stands a well that looks even older than the pavilion itself.

The wellhead is surrounded by bluestone slabs, the edges of which have been worn smooth by the years. Dark green vines climb all over the well walls, and even the well rope has an old grayish-brown color, indicating that it has been around for many years.

The two birds landed on the edge of the well and stopped trying to escape. They just stared at Ye Hui and his two companions without moving, their eyes filled with undisguised malice, like two flickering dark flames.

"It seems they deliberately lured us here." Ye Hui stroked his chin.

Luring them into a trap?

He's a master of these classic anti-pickpocketing tactics!

"So what do we do now? Should we just rush over and grab them?" Sakura gripped her wand tightly, showing no fear whatsoever, her eyes filled with eagerness, already prepared for battle.

"Don't rush, Sakura, be careful, it might be a trap." Ye Hui reached out to stop her. "These two birds don't seem to be very aggressive. The real problem is in the well."

He had already used his divine sense to investigate, and the magical fluctuations on the little bird were so weak that they could be ignored.

On the contrary, the ancient well exuded a cold and eerie magic, which came from the same source as the bird's aura, but was much stronger.

The voice just fell.

The two birds suddenly let out a sharp cry, as if it were some kind of signal, and then plunged headfirst into the ancient well without hesitation, disappearing into the dark depths of the well mouth.

next second.

Thick black gas suddenly billowed out of the well, spreading through the air like ink, carrying a chilling aura.

Immediately afterwards, two soft white ribbons flew out from the black mist, twisting nimbly in the air as if they were alive, and wrapped directly around Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi.

"What is that?" Sakura was startled and immediately raised her wand. "Wind!"

The power of the wind card transformed into a whirlwind, blowing towards the ribbon.

But the ribbon seemed to pass through the air, passing through the whirlwind without any hindrance, and went straight through her body.

"Be careful! This isn't a physical attack, it's a mental illusion!" Ye Hui warned.

Sakura seemed not to hear her, her eyes gradually becoming dazed, a silly smile appearing on her face as she muttered to herself, "Yukito-nii... what are you doing here..."

She reached out, trying to grab the non-existent figure in front of her.

Ye Hui turned his head to look at Tomoyo beside him and found that her situation was similar to Sakura's.

Tomoyo stood quietly in place, a gentle smile playing on her lips. Her purple eyes became vacant, her gaze unfocused, and she muttered softly, "Sakura...you look so cute like that...can you strike a pose like that?"

Ye Hui: “…”

Alright, one sees their beloved in the illusion, and the other sees their good friend in the illusion.

He stood there, sober, like an unwanted figure.

[Your strong Dao heart allows you to remain steadfast and unmoved even when faced with bewitching illusions! Looking at the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura and the Dharma Protector Daidouji Tomoyo, trapped in the illusion, you are filled with the pride and loneliness of a true powerhouse!]

Loneliness my foot!

Ye Hui felt like he had been subtly insulted by the system.

He ignored the system's complaints, stretched out his hands, gathered a wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips, and gently touched Sakura and Tomoyo's foreheads respectively, saying in a calm voice, "Wake up."

A cool spiritual energy flowed down their foreheads and into their minds, like a clear spring that dispelled the chaos and washed away the strange magic.

Sakura and Tomoyo's eyes gradually cleared, and their confused expressions faded.

"What...what just happened to me?" Sakura rubbed her throbbing head, her eyes glazed over, feeling a little dizzy.

She only remembered that she seemed to have seen Snow Rabbit Brother just now, and he was smiling gently at her, but when she reached out to touch him, she couldn't touch anything.

"You were just under an illusion, your minds were affected by the magic in the well," Ye Hui explained, pointing to the white ribbons still fluttering in the air. "Those ribbons themselves have no physical form; they mainly interfere with people's consciousness through magic, causing them to fall into their own obsessions."

"Illusion?" Sakura was taken aback and instinctively gripped her wand tighter.

As Tomoyo watched the slowly fluttering ribbons, a hint of lingering fear flashed in her purple eyes.

She had just seen countless Sakuras in the illusion, wearing various battle suits she designed. Each one was exceptionally cute, making her want to keep looking at them. She almost became so engrossed in the illusion that she didn't wake up.

"Ye Huijun, thank you for waking us up in time," Zhi Shi said softly.

If it weren't for Ye Hui, they might still be trapped in the illusion, and she might be forever immersed in that blissful illusion.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +15】

"We don't need to be so polite between us."

Ye Hui smiled and looked back at the ancient well. "Now we need to find out what kind of monsters and demons are hiding at the bottom of this well, daring to do these little things here."

He walked to the well, bent down, and peered inside.

The well was pitch black, with no bottom in sight. Occasionally, a cold wind would blow up from the bottom of the well, carrying a musty, old smell.

Without thinking, he raised his foot, ready to jump down and find out what was going on.

"Ye Huijun! No, this looks too dangerous!" Xiaoying rushed over and grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with worry. "We don't know what's going on inside. What if there's a trap?"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

"Yes, Ye Huijun, we can discuss this further. The situation inside is unclear, so it's best if we don't go down there rashly."

Tomoyo also chimed in with words of advice, her palms growing cold.

The strange magical power she had just witnessed made her extremely cautious.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, nothing will happen."

Ye Hui patted the two girls' hands reassuringly, signaling them to relax.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he wouldn't be afraid of a broken well.

Even if he were to encounter real danger, with his supernatural powers, he could break through space and escape, and no one could stop him.

After saying that, he released their hands and jumped into the well.

However, the expected feeling of weightlessness and falling did not come.

"Clap."

With a soft thud, his foot landed firmly on the solid ground, even splashing a little water.

Ye Hui: ???
He looked down and found himself standing in a shallow puddle, the water only up to his ankles, so clear that he could see the pebbles at the bottom.

This ancient well, which looks bottomless and exudes an eerie aura, actually contains only this little bit of water?

This is too unscientific!

Ye Hui refused to believe it and stomped his foot in the water again.

"dong dong dong~"

A sound came, and the touch was solid.

The ground underneath is indeed solid; it's just covered with a layer of water.

"This well...why is it so shallow?" Sakura leaned over the edge of the well, peered down, and blinked when she saw the shallow water at the bottom.

I thought the well was very deep because it looked so dark, but it turns out it's actually quite small.

"It seems we've all been fooled by its appearance. It deliberately created the illusion of being bottomless in order to conceal what's underneath?" Tomoyo also went to the edge of the well to observe for a while.

Ye Hui leaped out of the well and flew out, brushing off non-existent dust from his trouser legs.

After all that, this seemingly eerie ancient well turned out to be nothing more than a facade.

Even more strangely, the distinctly cold and eerie magical power they had just witnessed vanished completely as they approached the bottom of the well, as if it had never existed at all.

"What on earth is going on? Why have those two birds and the illusion ribbon suddenly stopped moving?" Sakura was completely confused. She scratched her head, turned around, and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Just then, a familiar yet anxious voice came from not far away: "What are you doing here!" Ye Hui turned around and looked.

They saw Li Xiaolang gripping his sword, running towards them with a serious expression, his steps hurried and his eyes wary.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +11]

Behind him, Li Meiling also ran up, panting.

"Li Tongxue? Meiling? What are you doing here?" Sakura was a little surprised to see them.

She never expected to run into a familiar classmate at the Bird Garden in Hong Kong.

"That's what I wanted to ask you!" Li Meiling stood with her hands on her hips, bending over and panting heavily, finally managing to calm down. "We sensed some strange magical fluctuations over here and rushed over, only to find it was you! What are you doing?"

[Li Meiling's mood score +9]

Li Xiaolang remained silent, his gaze fixed on the ancient well, his expression growing even more serious.

He took a small compass out of his pocket, and the needle on the compass immediately began to spin wildly, finally pointing steadily in the direction of the well and stopping.

“There’s a strong residual magic here, and it’s very evil,” Li Xiaolang said seriously.

He had sensed this unusual magical fluctuation while he was nearby.

After tracking them all the way here, I never expected to run into Ye Hui and his group here.

Ye Hui briefly recounted his encounter with the strange twin birds and the illusion from the ancient well to Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling.

"A ribbon that can cast illusions? And make people see illusions?" Li Meiling's eyes widened upon hearing this, as if she were listening to a fairy tale. "This is too strange! Could it be a new Clow Card? Did the Clow Cards somehow end up here? Is it crazy?"

Ye Hui and the others: "."

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Li Meiling asked, puzzled.

“It’s nothing.” Li Xiaolang walked to the well and peered inside, his brows furrowing even more. “No, the source of the magic is clearly here, but I can’t feel it at all now, as if it has been deliberately erased.”

“Yes! After those two little birds jumped into the well, that strange magic disappeared, and even the ribbon was gone,” Sakura quickly chimed in.

Ye Hui watched from the side.

He had originally thought that today he could follow the clues and meet the sorcerer hiding behind the scenes.

It turned out to be just another charade.

[You keenly sense the conspiracy behind this incident! You conclude that it must be a powerful local cultivator demonstrating against you outsiders, deliberately leaving traces and then quickly erasing them!]

Never mind, no rush.

Anyway, they'll be staying in Hong Kong for several more days, so they'll see each other sooner or later.

“Now that there’s no danger, let’s go back first,” Ye Hui said, breaking the silence. “Touya and Yukito are still waiting for us in the Bird Garden. They must be worried about us after we’ve been out for so long.”

"Oh right! We were so focused on chasing those two birds that we completely forgot about our brothers!" Sakura slapped her forehead. "They must be looking for us everywhere now that we've been out for so long!"

"Then let's hurry up and go," Tomoyo said.

Ye Hui looked at Xiaoying's anxious face and couldn't help but smile: "No need for that trouble, let's just go back."

As he spoke, he reached out again and took Sakura's and Tomoyo's hands in his, saying, "Hold on tight, don't let go." Whoosh!
Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling hadn't reacted yet.

Suddenly, ripples of spatial distortion appeared around the three people in front of them.

The next second, the three figures vanished into thin air.

All that remains is the empty stone-paved road and that unremarkable ancient well.

Li Meiling: "..."

This... this is teleportation?!
Li Meiling rubbed her eyes and pinched her arm hard, gasping in pain, "Ouch...that hurts!"

This isn't a dream!
Ye Hui and the others really did disappear into thin air!
[Li Meiling's mood score +18]

Looking at the empty space ahead, Li Xiaolang unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword: "This must be Ye Hui's magic."

Is it really that strong?
[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +20]

……

the other side.

The bird garden is still bustling with activity.

Touya and Yukito, however, had no interest in birdwatching and kept weaving through the crowd.

"Strange, they were just looking at the birdcage here a moment ago, how come they've disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Touya frowned, his gaze sweeping over the passing tourists.

Sakura never runs off without saying goodbye.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi aren't the type to cause worry, so why did they suddenly disappear?
"Could it be that they saw other interesting stalls and went over there to play?" Yukito guessed from the side, trying to ease Touya's tension. "There are many stalls in the Bird Garden. Maybe they were attracted by something fun."

"Impossible." Touya shook his head firmly, took out his phone, and prepared to call Sakura. "Even if Sakura is going somewhere else, she will definitely tell me first, so we won't have to worry."

at this time.

A familiar voice came from a corner not far behind: "Onii-chan! Yukito-kun! We're here!"

Upon hearing the sound, Touya turned around abruptly and saw Ye Hui, Sakura, and Tomoyo standing under the shade of a tree not far away.

Sakura waved vigorously at them.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.

But then his brows furrowed again, and he strode over to the three of them, demanding, "Where did you go? How did you suddenly disappear?"

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +18】

"We saw a sugar painting stall over there and thought it was interesting, so we went to take a look," Ye Hui made up an excuse without changing his expression. "We didn't expect there to be so many people over there. We got separated from you guys after squeezing around for a while, and it took us a long time to find our way back."

"Is that so?" Touya raised an eyebrow.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

"Of course it's true!" Sakura nodded vigorously beside him, vouching for Ye Hui, a hint of regret on her face. "The sugar paintings over there were so pretty! They had dragons, phoenixes, and even bunny shapes! We wanted to buy one, but there were too many people and we couldn't get in, so we had to come back, hahaha~"

Touya stared at the two of them for a few seconds. Seeing that Sakura was speaking seriously, Ye Hui did not reveal any flaws.

In the end, he didn't press further, but simply snorted, which was taken as an admission of the explanation.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

I knew Touya wouldn't believe me.

But at least on the surface, they found a plausible excuse.

"It's good that you found them." Yukito smiled and smoothed things over, walking over to Sakura and gently patting her shoulder. "We were worried you two might get lost."

[Moon City Snow Rabbit Mood Value +5]

Just as they were talking, Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling came over from the other side.

The two had clearly followed the Clow Card aura emanating from Sakura.

"Ah, hello everyone." Yukito greeted them with a gentle smile.

When Li Xiaolang saw the snow rabbit, he paused, blinked, and blushed again.

He lowered his head somewhat shyly and replied softly, "Hello."

"Little Wolf, why are you being so awkward? It's just a greeting, speak louder, otherwise it's very impolite." Li Meiling tugged at Li Xiaolang's arm.

Even though there's something to discuss, why is Little Wolf acting so hesitant?

Li Xiaolang: "."

Li Xiaolang ignored her, then came to his senses and walked straight to Ye Hui, his voice low: "Ye Hui, I have something I want to talk to you about, about what happened earlier."

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +10]

"Oh? What is it?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

But it's obvious without even guessing that it must have happened just now.

“There are too many people around here, it’s not a good place to talk.” Li Xiaolang glanced at the tourists coming and going, hesitated for a moment, and then invited them, “If you don’t mind, I would like to invite you to my home. My mother might be able to give us some clues.”

Visiting the Li family?
Ye Hui was a little surprised.

"That magical fluctuation just now was very unusual; it could definitely not have been caused by ordinary Clow Cards or minor monsters."

Li Xiaolang continued to explain in a low voice, "Hong Kong is different from Tomoeda Town. There are many ancient magical families hidden here, as well as many unknown dangers."

“My mother is quite familiar with the power dynamics in Hong Kong, and perhaps she knows the source of this power.”

Ye Hui shrugged: "I have no objection, but you'll have to convince Touya-ge before you can go."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's expression changed several times.

But in order to figure out about the magic, he braced himself and turned to Touya and Yukito, his tone somewhat unnatural.

"It's a rare treat for you to come to Hong Kong, so I... I'd like to invite you to my home. My mother is very welcoming to guests."

"Shall we go to Li's house for a visit? Sure, sure!" Sakura was the first to respond.

She had never been to her classmate's house in Hong Kong before.

"Thank you for your invitation." Snow Rabbit nodded with a smile. "Since Little Wolf has put it that way, then let's go and bother you for a bit. It'll also be a good opportunity for us to rest."

Touya glanced at Li Xiaolang.

Although she still didn't really like this kid, when they first met, this guy actually dared to steal Sakura's things.

But since Yukito had already agreed, he couldn't very well spoil everyone's fun.

Moreover, he also wanted to find out whether Sakura and the others' sudden disappearance was related to that strange power.

In the end, he reluctantly nodded.

So, led by Li Xiaolang, everyone boarded the car heading to the Li family's house.

The Li family lives in one of Hong Kong's most prestigious and affluent areas.

Victoria Peak.

The car slowly drove up the winding mountain road.

The scenery outside the window gradually changed.

The bustling urban buildings at the foot of the mountain gradually transformed into a tranquil mountain forest covered with greenery.

The air also became fresher.

"Wow! Li, your house is so big!" As soon as the car entered the gate of the Li family villa, Xiaoying couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The villa in front of me is in a typical Chinese style, with red walls and black tiles. The courtyard is full of green plants and there is a small pond, making it look like an exquisite garden.

"Hmph, what's so special about that?"

Li Meiling puffed out her chest proudly, "Our Li family is one of the most prominent families in Hong Kong!"

Ignoring Li Meiling's boasting, Li Xiaolang opened the car door, got out first, and welcomed everyone into the villa: "Please rest in the living room for a while, everyone. I'll go upstairs to call my mother down."

As he spoke, he led everyone to a spacious reception room.

The reception room was decorated in an elegant and grand style, with antique calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and exquisite porcelain placed in the corner, giving it a very sophisticated feel.

"I wonder what kind of person Li's mother is?" Sakura sat on the soft sofa and whispered to Tomoyo beside her.

Zhi Shi thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "To be able to raise such a composed and capable child as Li, his mother must be an extraordinary person."

Ye Hui sat to the side, pondering the matter.

He had long heard of Li Yelan's reputation.

Not only is he incredibly powerful, but he is also proficient in various ancient magical arts and has a keen eye for talent.

We'll meet in a bit.

Will she be able to see through my identity as a cultivator of "unknown origin"?

That's really interesting!
At first, he searched everywhere for supernatural powers, but to no avail.

Now, on the contrary, they can directly contact cultivation families.

He was also eager to see what made this family of cultivators so different.

[You are about to meet the current head of the Li family, a renowned cultivation clan! Your humble Foundation Establishment cultivation is utterly insignificant compared to her Tribulation Transcending stage powerhouse! A profound sense of inferiority arises within you, yet it only strengthens your resolve to climb the ranks at all costs!]

Ye Hui silently refuted this in his heart.

Although Li Yelan's magic power is indeed very strong, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as the Tribulation Transcending stage, right?
Besides, he's now at the Golden Core stage, not some Foundation Establishment noob...

Just as he was arguing with the system, the door to the reception room was gently pushed open.

However, it was neither Li Xiaolang nor his mother who entered, but a young girl dressed in a light gray servant's outfit.

The girl was holding a sandalwood tray with several sets of clothes neatly stacked on it; the fabric looked delicate and soft.

"Distinguished guests, these are the outfits specially prepared for you by the head of the family. Please change into them."

The girl gently placed the tray on the central coffee table, her voice respectful and her movements graceful.

"Change clothes?" Sakura paused for a moment, looking at the clothes on the tray with some confusion.

Why change clothes when you're just visiting?

“Yes.” The girl nodded and explained, “According to the Li family’s hospitality rules, when entertaining distinguished guests, we need to dress them in specially prepared clothing. This is to show respect to the guests and also to facilitate the subsequent dining and tour.”

Ye Hui sighed inwardly.

Goodness, the Li family is really particular. When you come to visit, you have to change into a special set of clothes.

He looked at the clothes on the tray.

There are five sets in total: two women's sets and three men's sets.

The women's outfit consisted of two cheongsams.

One is a delicate peach pink, with tiny white cherry blossom patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

The other one is a gentle lake blue, with faint cloud patterns adorning the hem, and the fabric has a beautiful drape.

The men's outfit consisted of three well-tailored dark-colored long gowns, commonly known as cloth gowns, with a crisp fabric that looked simple and elegant.

"They're cheongsams! So beautiful!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly as she spotted the two cheongsams.

She had only ever seen others wearing cheongsams on TV and in magazines before; she had never tried one herself.

Tomoyo also showed interest. It wasn't that she had never worn a cheongsam before, but this was the first time she had seen this style.

Zhi Shi reached out and gently picked up the lake-blue cheongsam, her palm brushing over the cloud pattern on the fabric, her eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Hui knew without even guessing.

Tomoyo-chan must already be thinking about what kind of cheongsam she should design for Sakura next time.

"Tomoyo, you look really good in this lake blue dress, it really suits your style!" Sakura leaned closer and said earnestly.

"Sakura would look adorable in that pink dress too. Pink is delicate and suits you perfectly." Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a smile, her tone gentle.

Ye Hui looked at the two girls who had already started praising each other and shook his head helplessly.

He had long noticed that Tomoyo-chan's enthusiasm was always at its highest whenever it came to pretty clothes or anything related to Sakura.

"Let's go change now!" Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's hand and eagerly headed towards the dressing room on the side of the reception room.

"Gentlemen, please follow me. The men's changing room is on the other side."

The servant then turned to Ye Hui, Touya, and Yukito, gestured for them to enter, and led the three to another room.

Ye Hui picked up a dark blue long gown and held it up against himself.

The size was surprisingly perfect; anyone who didn't know better would think it had been specially measured.

However, the style of this long gown is somewhere between traditional and modern.

It's traditional, but it lacks a certain rustic charm.

It is modern, yet it also incorporates strong Chinese elements.

Having grown accustomed to seeing real traditional long gowns, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

"Never mind, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Ye Hui picked up his long gown and went into the dressing room.

He quickly changed into a long robe, the dark blue fabric making his figure appear quite upright.

As soon as he came out of the dressing room, he saw Sakura and Tomoyo, who had already changed into cheongsams, standing in the center of the reception room, discussing something quietly in front of the mirror.

Sakura wore a peach-pink cheongsam, the cherry blossom embroidery on the neckline making her skin look exceptionally fair. The cheongsam was perfectly tailored, outlining her slender figure. Her originally tied-up bun was loose and draped over her shoulders, not messy, but rather adding a touch of delicate charm and liveliness.

Zhi Shi's lake-blue cheongsam exudes a different charm, gentle and elegant. She styled her long, straight black hair into two small buns, with thin braids hanging down at the ends. She also had wispy bangs in front of her forehead. Every gesture she made revealed the gentle temperament of a typical Jiangnan woman.

Ye Hui took out his camera, quietly pressed the shutter, and captured the scene before him.

Two girls stood under the warm yellow light, one charming and the other gentle, the scene was so harmonious and beautiful.

"Ye Huijun, do you think I look good in this outfit?" Xiaoying noticed him, immediately turned around, and twirled slightly to show him off.

"It looks great, Sakura looks adorable in this outfit." Ye Hui nodded with a smile, then looked at Tomoyo, "Tomoyo looks great in lake blue too, it really complements your skin tone."

Zhi Shi chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling, her eyelashes fluttering, her pretty face fair and radiant, shimmering with a captivating glow.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

"That's right! Tomoyo, you look so good in a cheongsam, it suits your temperament perfectly!" Sakura chimed in, her eyes full of admiration.

A hint of shyness flashed in Tomoyo's purple eyes, but her lips curled into an undisguised joy: "Sakura looks even cuter in this. Pink suits you perfectly, like a little cherry blossom."

As she spoke, she habitually took out her camera, aimed it at Sakura, and started snapping photos. The girl in the photos had a bright and lively smile.

"Tomoyo, stop taking pictures! This is someone else's house." Sakura was a little embarrassed by the photos, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out to block the camera.

at this time.

The door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, four women wearing cheongsams of different colors walked in quickly.

They look somewhat alike, but their temperaments are quite different.

One is lively and agile, the other is gentle and calm, one is cheerful and generous, and the other is charming and lovely.

Like a lively gust of wind, the four of them rushed in.

"I heard Syaoran brought his friends back? Where are they?" The most lively girl looked around and quickly spotted Sakura and Tomoyo. Her eyes lit up instantly. "Oh my! Look at those two little girls, they're so cute!"

"Really! Her skin is so fair and tender, just like a porcelain doll!" Another woman came over, looking amazed.

Four women chattered and surrounded Sakura and Tomoyo, looking at them curiously without any sense of distance from strangers.

"Hello, little sister, what's your name?" The most lively girl reached out and gently pinched Xiaoying's cheek. Her movements were gentle and proactive, but she didn't make Xiaoying feel offended.

"Hello, I... I'm called Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura was startled by the sudden enthusiasm and stammered a little, but she still obediently answered with her name.

"Sakura? That's a lovely name, just as cute as you are~" The woman introduced herself with a smile, "My name is Li Fudie, I'm Syaoran's older sister, you can just call me Sister Fudie."

"Hello, Sakura." The gentle and calm woman beside them smiled softly at the two of them, her tone gentle. "My name is Li Xuehua, and I am Xiaolang's second older sister."

"My name is Li Huanglian, your third sister!" The cheerful and generous woman clapped her hands, her smile bright.

"Me too! Me too! My name is Li Feimei, and I'm the fourth sister!" The last charming woman quickly added, waving to the two of them.

Li Xiaolang's four older sisters?

Ye Hui stood aside, looking at the four women with very different styles in front of him, and instantly understood.

With four such enthusiastic and lively older sisters, it's no wonder that Li Xiaolang developed such an arrogant and awkward personality; he probably got teased by his sisters quite often.

"Little Sakura, your hair is so soft, it feels so nice to touch. What shampoo do you use?" Li Fudie gently touched Little Sakura's hair again and asked curiously.
