Chapter 158 Voldemort Above, What Do You Mean by Taking Your Sister Off Again? (Bonus Chapter of 617 Million Words)
"Chi! Chi!"

at this time.

Two bird calls suddenly came from above them.

Ye Hui subconsciously raised his head, his gaze falling on the windowsill of a residential building not far away.

Two familiar birds stood there, their eyes gleaming with an unusual light, staring intently at them.

It's those two guys again.

I've seen them before at the bird garden, and now they've appeared here again.

It really is a persistent ghost.

"It's those two birds!" Sakura recognized them quickly and was somewhat surprised.

"They've appeared again?" Xiao Ke peeked out from Tomoyo's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the two birds.

The voice just fell.

The two birds suddenly let out a sharp cry, as if in provocation, then spread their wings and flew quickly toward the alley in the distance.

"They're trying to run away again!" Sakura immediately wanted to chase after them, and her feet had already started moving.

"Don't rush, Sakura." Ye Hui reached out to stop her, his tone calm. "Let's just follow them quietly and see where they're taking us."

He turned his head and called out to Touya, who was looking at a food stall not far away, "Touya-nii, you guys stay here for a bit, we'll go check out other places and be right back."

"Where are you going?" Touya walked over with a frown, his tone filled with worry. "This place is crowded and complicated, don't wander around."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon," Ye Hui replied with a smile, without offering any further explanation.

Then, holding Sakura's hand in one hand and Tomoyo's hand in the other, he turned and ran in the direction the bird had flown away.

In no time, they slipped into the alley next door.

Momoya: (◣_◢)!

Watching the three figures disappear, Touya's face instantly darkened.

That brat, he always runs off without warning!
He immediately chased after him.

However, there were many forks in the alley, and after running only a few steps, Ye Hui and the others disappeared from sight.

Taoya: “…”

He stood at the alley entrance, looking around, but found nothing except for passersby, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

He was convinced too!
That brat, he took his sister and ran away with Tomoyo and disappeared without a trace. How can he give him a nice look normally!
【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +20】

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and, guided by his instincts, chased after the bird in the direction it had flown away.

Seeing this, Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling, who were not far away, exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

As Li Meiling ran, she whispered, "Oh no, our protected student ran away! If your mom finds out, she'll definitely scold us again!"

Li Xiaolang: "."

He didn't say anything, but simply quickened his pace.

the other side.

Ye Hui, holding Xiaoying and Zhiye's hands, activated the spatial jump again, instantly appearing deep in the alley.

They didn't get too close, just followed the two little birds at a moderate distance.

“Those two birds themselves don’t seem to be aggressive.” Tomoyo carefully observed the birds in front of her. “They seem to be leading the way, deliberately leading us to a certain place.”

Sakura gripped Ye Hui's hand nervously: "Could it be... that the woman who attacked me in my dream led us there?"

Ye Hui nodded: "It's very possible. I think these two birds might be her spies, which is why we need to follow them and find out what she's up to."

The two birds flew ahead, occasionally turning their heads back as if to check if they were keeping up, their eyes revealing a strange excitement.

Little bird: Come and chase me! If you catch me, I'll let you all have your fun!
Ye Hui watched their reactions and sneered inwardly.

Alright, since you've invited him so enthusiastically, wouldn't it be too disrespectful for him not to go?
Led by two birds.

Ye Hui and his group walked through several still bustling streets, gradually leaving behind the lively atmosphere of Women's Street, and arrived at a somewhat dilapidated old town area.

Most of the houses here are old-style arcade buildings with mottled walls. Some windows are broken and barely covered with wooden boards. There are also some discarded cardboard boxes piled up by the roadside, which is in stark contrast to the bustling scene just now.

"Where am I? It feels so desolate." Sakura slowed her pace, curiously looking around at her surroundings, somewhat puzzled.

It was unusually quiet here; you couldn't even hear the footsteps of pedestrians, only the faint sound of the wind blowing through the gaps in the arcade.

Compared to the crowded women's street just now, this place feels more like a corner forgotten by time.

Tomoyo shook her head slightly, her eyes showing some wariness: "I don't know either. There are many old districts in Hong Kong, but the atmosphere here is a bit strange."

As they were talking, the two birds suddenly sped up and flew to the front of an old house.

The house is in the Chinese style, with two faded red lanterns hanging at the entrance, and the copper rings on the wooden door are rusty, looking like they haven't been maintained for at least several decades.

The bird didn't stop, but instead flew straight through a broken window and disappeared instantly.

"They've gone in!" Sakura pointed at the old house, somewhat anxiously, and subconsciously took two steps forward.

Ye Hui stood still, his gaze sweeping over the walls and windows of the old house, and he could vaguely sense a familiar aura.

It was exactly the same magical fluctuation I sensed in the ancient well yesterday—chilling and tinged with a hint of mad obsession.

"It seems this is their destination." He withdrew his gaze, his voice calm.

"Ye Huijun, should we go in?" Zhi Shi walked to his side, somewhat worried.

She could sense the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the house and didn't want Xiaoying or Ye Hui to go in and take the risk.

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Of course we'll go in."

"Since we're already here, we can't just leave without even seeing what's inside. Otherwise, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

You have discovered a blessed land, possibly left behind by ancient cultivators! You are eager to explore it and seek the legendary supreme opportunity! You have decided to collect all the treasures here to pave the way for your path to immortality!

This place is at most a haunted house...

The kind that's really ghostly.

Even if there really is some treasure, we have to see who left it behind.

If it's something belonging to Clow Reed, he'll have to think twice before touching it.

It's not that he can't touch it, but if he takes Kuro's despicable things into his own hands, who knows if some old scoundrel might sneak a peek.

He's like an old pervert.

He didn't want to be stared at by a squinty-eyed guy every day.

He stepped forward and reached out to push open the old wooden door.

"Squeak-"

A piercing sound broke the silence.

The wooden door hinges, due to a lack of lubrication over a long period of time, emit a dry, rubbing sound when they turn, which makes one's heart clench.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, a musty, stale smell wafted out, mixed with the smell of dust.

Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't help but wrinkle their noses and instinctively covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

"Let's go in." Ye Hui took the lead and stepped inside, walking very quietly so as not to disturb anything inside.

Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged a glance and followed closely behind, their hands unconsciously clasped together to encourage each other.

The house was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering through the cracks in the windows, casting dappled patterns of light on the floor.

Surprisingly, the interior furnishings didn't resemble a typical residence; instead, they looked more like an antique shop.

There were many blue and white porcelain vases on the shelf against the wall, some of which were missing a piece from the mouth.

In the middle were several sandalwood tables and chairs, the carvings on the tabletops still faintly visible, but covered by a thick layer of dust.

There were several objects covered with cloth in the corner, but it was impossible to tell what they were.

Looking at the furnishings, a thought suddenly popped into Ye Hui's mind.

It's unbelievable that someone would suddenly appear claiming to be a disciple of a great master, with a nephew who keeps saying "bad luck, bad luck!" That would be too absurd.

Every item in the house was covered with a thick layer of dust. A light touch with your finger would leave your hand covered in dust, clearly indicating that no one had been here for a long time. The air itself carried a stagnant and oppressive feeling.

"Is this... an antique shop?" Sakura asked in a low voice, curiously walking up to a porcelain vase and standing on tiptoe to examine it closely.

“It looks very similar, but…” Tomoyo looked around, her brows furrowing slightly, a little uneasy. “It’s too quiet here. There’s not a sound at all. I feel like I could hear even the dust falling to the ground. In a normal old house, at least there would be the sounds of mice or insects.”

"Yes, after those two birds flew in, they became completely silent. We couldn't even hear them flapping their wings. It's so strange." Sakura nodded in agreement, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Logically speaking, once a bird enters a house, it should at least stay inside.

But now the house is so quiet, it's as if no one has ever been here.

"There's not a soul in sight here except us." Kero flew down from Tomoyo's shoulder, sniffed the air hard, and then quickly raised his hand to fan himself, almost letting out a big sneeze.

After a long while, the little nose twitched, and the voice was puzzled, "And what's strange is that I didn't sense any magic at all. Those two birds were clearly carrying strange fluctuations, so how did they disappear as soon as they entered here?"

"Have we been tricked again? Just like that well yesterday, was it just a ploy to lure us here, and there's nothing there at all?" Sakura recalled her experience by the ancient well yesterday, feeling uncertain, and her voice lowered.

"No." Ye Hui shook his head, his voice firm.

He walked to the dusty octagonal table in the center of the room, stretched out his finger, and gently ran it across the thick layer of dust on the tabletop.

Immediately, a clear mark appeared.

Such a thick, untouched mark.

This shows that, apart from them, no one has been here for a long time.

But that familiar, chilling aura was even clearer than when we were by the ancient well.

Just as they were talking, a faint sound of water suddenly came from the corner.

"Wow... Wow..."

The sound was very soft, yet exceptionally clear in the quiet house, like water slowly rippling around them.

"Did you hear that? What was that sound?" Sakura immediately became alert, her body tensing slightly. She subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came, and her hand quietly reached for the sealing key on her chest.

"I heard it. It sounded like flowing water, very soft, but I'm sure it's coming from that direction." Tomoyo nodded, her eyes cautious as she looked in the direction of the sound.

“Indeed, the sound came from under that long table over there.” Ye Hui pointed to a long table against the wall in the corner.

Like the other furniture, the table was covered in dust. There was nothing else on the table except for a very old-looking book with a yellowed spine and worn edges.

"Is it this book that's making the sound?" Sakura looked at the lonely book, somewhat incredulous.

How can a book make the sound of flowing water?

"Let me take a look!" Xiao Ke volunteered and flew over, landing on the edge of the long table, its little paws carefully avoiding the dust.

The book cover was covered with a thick layer of dust, making it impossible to see the patterns or text on it; one could only vaguely make out that it was a dark-colored cover.

Xiao Ke took a deep breath, puffed out her cheeks, and blew hard at the book cover.

"call--"

A gust of air carried dust and scattered, raising a thin mist in the air, which made it choke and quickly turn its face away.

"Cough cough cough! I'm choking!" Little Ke's face was covered in dust, and her snow-white fur was covered in dust. She kept coughing, and her little paws were waving in front of her, trying to shake off the dust.

Ye Hui stood not far away, looking at it with disdain: "Baka, your magic power has recovered a little, hasn't it? Can't you use magic to clean the dust? You have to blow it with your mouth, you're just asking for trouble."

"I...I forgot!" Xiao Ke said somewhat guiltily, her paws still secretly patting the dust off her body.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

As the dust was blown away, the design on the book cover was finally revealed.

The painting above depicts the ancient pavilion they saw in the illusion of the ancient well yesterday.

The patterns on the eaves and the style of the pillars were exactly the same as what I remembered from last night.

What's even more unsettling is that a woman dressed in gorgeous ancient costume stands leaning against a pillar in the ancient pavilion, her skirt draped to the ground, her posture elegant. Although it's just a flat image, it exudes a familiar eeriness.

"It's her!" Sakura pointed at the woman on the cover and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, her voice tinged with fear, "It's her! The woman I've been seeing in my dreams these past few days!"

As soon as Sakura finished speaking, the woman's eyes on the cover suddenly moved.

The eyes, which were originally just patterns, seemed to come alive, slowly turning before finally landing precisely on Sakura.

Sakura instinctively met those eyes, her gaze instantly becoming dazed, as if controlled by something. Her body began to move uncontrollably toward the long table, her steps slow yet firm.

Walking to the table, Sakura reached out her hand, her fingers pointing towards the cover of the book, as if she wanted to open it.

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo immediately sensed something was wrong.

At this moment, Sakura's eyes became vacant, and her steps became mechanical, clearly indicating that she was being controlled by some kind of mental magic.

Ye Hui smacked his lips.

It's the same old trick again. Can't you come up with something new?
"Sakura! Wake up! Don't let it affect you!" Tomoyo stepped forward, reached out and grabbed her arm, trying to pull her back from the influence of the book.

However, Sakura seemed not to hear her at all. Her body continued to struggle toward the book, and she even showed an almost obsessive expression on her face, muttering to herself.

"I need to open it... I must open it..."

At the same time, Sakura's fingers were almost touching the book cover.

"Sakura, wake up!" Ye Hui emphasized, his voice carrying an undercurrent of power.

This force was gentle yet firm, but it was like a bucket of cold water splashed on Sakura's face, making her shudder and dispelling the confusion in her mind.

"Ah, it's so cool~" Sakura's body jolted, and her eyes instantly regained their clarity.

She looked at her hand, which was only a step away from the book, then turned to look at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi beside her, whose faces were filled with worry. A cold sweat instantly broke out on her back: "What...what happened to me just now? I think I couldn't control myself, I just wanted to open that book..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

"You've been controlled by the mental magic emanating from that book," Ye Hui explained casually, glancing at the ancient book.

The woman on the cover still had her eyes fixed on Sakura, but she no longer exerted her influence.

"Huh? I'm being controlled again?" Sakura's eyes widened, and she pouted.

She suddenly felt incredibly stupid.

I was mentally controlled for two consecutive days.
However, she still subconsciously took a step back, moving away from the long table.

Just then, the old wooden door of the old house was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

There was a loud "bang"!
The explosion erupted in the quiet house; the door slammed against the wall, bounced back, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Touya and Yukito appeared at the doorway.

Closely following behind were Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling, both panting heavily.

"What are you doing here! Do you know how long we've been looking for you! You idiot!" As soon as Touya entered, he saw Ye Hui, Sakura, and Tomoyo standing in the corner and quickly walked towards them.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +25】

Ye Hui blinked as he looked at Touya's furious expression.

I need a bean bag.

Could it be that Touya is holding a grudge against him?

Just wait!
It's not like he intentionally took you, his little sister, into such a dangerous place!

However, to be fair, this brother-obsessed brother's intuition is ridiculously accurate; they had only been inside for a short time when he came looking for them.

I feel a little embarrassed that they gave me such a large amount of emotional points (～~▽~)～

"Onii-chan? Yukito-kun? How did you find this place?" Sakura was a little surprised to see Touya and Yukito.

"That's what we were about to ask you!" Touya walked up to Sakura, looked her up and down to make sure she wasn't hurt, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his voice was still stern. "You guys just suddenly disappeared, and we couldn't reach you by phone. Do you know how worried we were?"

After saying that, Touya turned to look at Ye Hui, his anger undiminished, and his voice even harsher: "What are you doing bringing Sakura to such a remote and dangerous place again?"

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +18】

Ye Hui felt even more wronged than Dou E.

With Voldemort above, what does "again" mean?
Besides, it was clearly those two birds who led the way this time, so how can you put all the blame on him?

"Touya-kun, don't get so worked up," Ye Hui said, making an excuse. "We didn't come here on purpose. We were lured here by two strange little birds, and they disappeared as soon as they entered." "We saw an antique shop over here and thought it looked interesting, so we just wanted to take a look. We didn't mean to worry you guys, sorry~"

You big-headed devil Rui
Touya's mouth twitched.

"But, an antique shop?" Touya's gaze swept over the dusty floor, the cobweb-covered corners, and the furniture covered in thick dust. "You call this place an antique shop?"

There are signs of decay everywhere here.

Doors and windows are loose, and tables and chairs are covered in dust.

The air was filled with a stale smell, which made him choke as soon as he entered.

Now that he's calmed down, he feels a tickle in his nose.

This place doesn't look like an antique shop that's still in business at all; it looks more like an old house that's been abandoned for decades.

“Yeah, yeah!” Sakura nodded in agreement, trying to cover for Ye Hui.

She pointed to the dusty blue-and-white porcelain vase in the corner. "Brother, look! There are so many beautiful vases here! Uh, we were just examining that blue-and-white porcelain vase, trying to guess if it was a real antique. Ahahaha~ That's it!"

Ye Hui sighed inwardly.

Sakura really has absolutely no talent for lying.

This explanation is full of holes. First of all, the dust on the porcelain bottle is so thick that the patterns are not visible.

They were so engrossed in the books that they had no time to study the porcelain vases.

If Touya were to let Sakura explain herself to that porcelain bottle...
Sakura was completely dumbfounded!
However, to be fair, his own talent for lying wasn't much better.

But what can you do when he has supernatural powers?

Sure enough, Touya's face darkened even more.

Why does his adopted sister always speak up for that brat Ye Hui?
This kid always manages to get Sakura into trouble!

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +18】

Seeing Touya's gloomy face, Sakura realized her lie was too far-fetched, so she quickly softened her voice, tugged at Touya's sleeve, and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry~ Onii-chan! I made you worry, okay~"

She lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Looking at his little sister's pitiful yet inexplicably adorable appearance, Touya's anger subsided considerably.

He sighed, reached out and ruffled Sakura's hair, his voice softening considerably: "Fine, it's good that you know you were wrong. Don't run around like that again next time, especially in such remote and deserted places. It's dangerous, understand?"

"Yes, I know, Onii-chan!" Sakura nodded obediently.

Yukito walked over to Sakura, gently patted her head, and said softly, "Sakura, you can't run away like that again next time. We were really worried when we couldn't find you, and it was dangerous too."

"Okay, I understand, Yukito-nii!" Sakura stuck out two index fingers and poked, poked, poked.

Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling followed them deeper into the house.

As Li Meiling walked, she looked around at her surroundings, her brows furrowed, and said with disdain, "What are you doing in a place like this? It's dilapidated and dirty, covered in dust, there's not even a place to put your feet down, what's there to see?"

She instinctively avoided the debris on the ground, carefully stepping on the relatively clean areas with her snow-white shoes, afraid of getting covered in clumps of dust and soiling her new clothes.

Li Xiaolang remained silent, his gaze sweeping over the dusty furniture before finally settling on the ancient book on the long table, a hint of wariness creeping into his eyes.

He could vaguely sense that the book seemed to be imbued with faint magical fluctuations.

"The residual magic here is very strong, and it carries a chilling aura, very similar to what I felt in the Bird Garden before."

Li Xiaolang walked to the long table where the ancient book was placed, bent down to examine the book carefully, his brows furrowed, and said in a low, serious voice.

He could clearly sense that a faint, almost imperceptible, magical power surrounded the book.

Although faint, it is exceptionally stubborn.

"Magic? What magic?" Although Li Xiaolang lowered his voice, Touya still keenly caught the unfamiliar word. He looked at Li Xiaolang and asked, "What were you saying just now?"

Li Xiaolang was taken aback by the question. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he stammered, "N-nothing. I just thought the environment here was gloomy and the feng shui was not good. It was easy to feel uncomfortable. I just said it casually."

Touya looked at Li Xiaolang suspiciously, then turned to look at Ye Hui.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

Why does Touya's boomerang always hit him?
The corner of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Snow Rabbit sensed the awkward atmosphere and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Since everyone is alright, let's leave here first."

"It's getting late, and I bet everyone's hungry. Let's go get something to eat. The seafood in Hong Kong is really good; we should try it."

"Oh yeah! My stomach's been growling for ages!" Sakura immediately changed the subject, following Yukito's words. "I want to eat seafood too. I saw Hong Kong's Typhoon Shelter Crab on TV before, and it looked delicious!"

"Let's hurry! If we go any later, there might be long lines at the popular seafood restaurants!" She grabbed Tomoyo's hand and ran towards the door.

Touya wanted to ask something more, but Yukito quietly tugged at his arm.

He glanced at Sakura's excited back, but ultimately swallowed his words, only glaring fiercely at Ye Hui.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

Ye Hui shrugged and followed with an innocent look on his face.

He didn't do anything wrong.

As the group walked out of the old house, the worn wooden door slowly closed behind them, as if separating two worlds.

“Hong Kong’s seafood stalls are super famous, do you want to try them?” Li Meiling said as they walked.

"Great! I really want to eat seafood right now, especially crabs and shrimp!" Sakura chimed in.

"Then let's go to the most famous seafood stall nearby. I know one that's really good, and locals often go there," Xue Tu suggested with a smile, and they quickly decided on a place for dinner.

Ye Hui walked at the back of the group, and as he passed the entrance of the old house, he looked back.

The old house looked particularly gloomy in the setting sun, like a lurking wild beast.

A sorcerer, but now is not the time to make a move.

He came to Hong Kong this time.

The primary goal is to enjoy the trip with Sakura and Tomoyo.
As for the woman hiding in the book...

Ye Hui smiled faintly. He could meet her again when he had time tonight.

Anyway, she can't escape.

He might even be able to get some benefits out of that woman.

I just don't know how much profit we can get.

Even a small mosquito is still meat.

As a qualified cultivator, one should not easily let go of any opportunity to improve one's cultivation level.

He withdrew his gaze, quickly followed the steps of the people in front of him, and merged into the gradually bustling crowd on the street.

Even at night, Hong Kong remains vibrant.

Neon lights illuminated the entire night sky, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the shops were brightly lit, adding even more noise and vitality compared to the daytime.

After enjoying a seafood feast, the group strolled around for a while before returning to the hotel at almost 10 o'clock.

The presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel is spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated.

Touya and Yukito were exhausted from running around all day, so they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

In the living room on the top floor, only Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi remained.

Of course, there's also a little one curled up on the sofa, pretending to be a plush toy.

Fearing that the hotel staff coming to serve would notice something amiss, it deliberately curled up into a ball, only revealing its pair of shiny black eyes.

"Ye Huijun, are we really going to go there tonight?" Xiaoying hugged a light pink cushion, her body slightly curled up in a corner of the sofa. "That old house looks scary during the day, it must be even more eerie at night, and that woman... is she really a ghost? Just thinking about how she can control me in my dreams gives me the creeps."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

He recalled the scene from the daytime in the old house where he was almost controlled by the ancient book.

Sakura couldn't help but shiver.

That feeling of being out of control of one's mind is far more terrifying than encountering the Clow Cards.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Hui leaned back on the sofa leisurely, his legs crossed, his tone relaxed but reassuring. "Going there at night is actually more convenient. We can find that woman's whereabouts more clearly. Besides, there are too many people around during the day. If a fight breaks out, it will scare ordinary people, and we'll have to deal with that. It's too troublesome."

"But isn't it a bad idea for us to sneak out at night like this?" Sakura hesitated. "If my brother finds out, he'll definitely be very angry and he'll scold me again."

Ye Hui winked at her, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, I've been prepared for this for a long time."

"I set up a calming array outside Touya and Yukito's room so they can sleep soundly until dawn. Even if we go out and come back, they won't notice anything unusual, and they won't be woken up."

"What?! Ye Hui-jun, when did you do so many things?" Sakura's eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief.

After they returned from the seafood restaurant, Ye Huiming stayed in the living room with them the whole time. How did he have time to set up the formation?
[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Little Ke, nestled on the other side of the sofa, overheard their conversation and waved her little paws, puffing out her chest: "With me here, what are you afraid of! A mere female ghost who appeared out of nowhere is nothing to fear! When I see her tonight, I can swat her away with one paw!"

Even during the day, inside the old house, it was startled by that eerie magic.

But in front of that brat Ye Hui, I absolutely cannot lose face!
It's Cerberus, the guardian of the Clow Cards! How could it let anyone think it's afraid?
[Kerberos's Mood Value +13]

Ye Hui glanced at it and suddenly asked, "Xiao Ke, don't you think that woman looks familiar? Does the magical energy fluctuations on her have any similarities to certain beings you've seen before?"

"Huh? You look familiar?" Xiao Ke paused for a moment, tilted her head, and tried to recall carefully.

After thinking for a long time, its mind was still blank, and it could only shake its head, "I don't remember it. I don't think I've ever seen this kind of magical fluctuation before."

Ye Hui rubbed his forehead and sighed inwardly.

You shouldn't expect this mascot, with its poor memory and only knowing how to eat and sleep, to remember anything.

It probably has long forgotten all the people and things related to Clow Reed back then.

My mind is probably filled with nothing but siu mai and shrimp dumplings.
"But..." Sakura's voice rang out again, her fingers gripping the pillow tightly, "Ye Hui-kun, can we really beat her? She can influence reality in dreams and control people's minds, she seems so amazing."

"Don't worry, we still have Tomoyo and me." Ye Hui sat up straight and looked at her. "Although Tomoyo isn't good at fighting, she has a strong sense of observation. She can help us pay attention to the surrounding movements and easily overlooked details."

"And I will protect you and won't let that woman hurt you in the slightest."

"Besides, we went prepared this time, so there won't be any problems."

He paused, then continued, "Also, Sakura, if we don't get rid of that woman who keeps harassing you in your dreams, do you want to be haunted by nightmares every night and be whipped by her while hanging up with a rope?"

"Ah, of course I don't want to!" Sakura shook her head without even thinking.

"That's right!" Ye Hui snapped his fingers. "So we have to meet that woman tonight and resolve this matter completely so you can sleep peacefully and enjoy your trip in Hong Kong without worry."

With Ye Hui's coaxing, cajoling, and patient persuasion, Xiaoying finally made up her mind.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and cheered herself up.

"Yoshi! Let's go together! I don't want to be haunted by that nightmare anymore, and I want to find out what that woman is up to!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

"That's more like it." Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction and praised.

[You've discovered a blessed land left behind by ancient cultivators, and deduced that it must contain trials and traps left by them. You've successfully tricked the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura and the Dharma Protector Daidouji Tomoyo into fighting for you, while you prepare to reap the benefits from behind the scenes. What a clever scheme!]

At that moment, Tomoyo smiled and reached out, taking out a brand new set of clothes from the storage ring on her finger.

It was a fairy-like swallowtail coat with a black base and gold lines outlining the edges, and delicate lace trim on the hem. It looked both gorgeous and sophisticated.

"Sakura, this is a new combat suit I prepared for you. We might encounter danger later, so wearing this will make it easier to move around and help you protect yourself better~"

.
Sakura's face fell instantly when she saw the battle suit in Tomoyo's hand, revealing a bewildered expression.

She knew
Tomoyo would never miss any opportunity to let her change clothes.

Even when going to such a dangerous old house, you still have to make sure your appearance is right!

"Alright, let's set off now while the night is still dark and we shouldn't waste any time."

Ye Hui stood up, took Sakura's hand in one hand and Tomoyo's hand in the other, and with a thought, prepared to activate the space jump.

Before Sakura could react, she instinctively blurted out, "Huh? So fast..."

Tomoyo added, "And Ye Hui-kun... I'll do it for you."

The two girls hadn't finished speaking.

Ye Hui had already activated his spatial abilities.

The three figures vanished from the living room in an instant.

Only a lonely cushion and Xiao Ke remained on the sofa.

Xiao Ke stared at the empty sofa, stomping her feet in frustration: "Hey! You guys ran off too fast!!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

……

When they reappeared, the three of them and one Ke were already standing at the entrance of the old house.

Just as Ye Hui went out, he realized that Xiao Ke had been forgotten by them, so he went back and brought her back.

at this time.

The old house looks even more eerie at night than during the day.

There were no lights around, only moonlight filtering through the gaps in the branches, casting distorted shadows on the ground.

The wind blowing through the dilapidated windows made a strange whistling sound, like someone was weeping softly.

"It's so...so cold." Sakura couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously moved closer to Ye Hui.

The air around the old house was more than ten degrees lower than outside, and it even felt chilly.

Ye Hui gripped her hand tightly and transferred a wisp of gentle spiritual energy to it, which spread throughout her body along her wrist, dispelling the chill.

Is it a little warmer now?

"Ah, yeah."

Tomoyo looked at Ye Hui and blinked: "I haven't finished what I was saying yet. Besides Sakura's battle suit, I also designed a matching cape for Ye Hui-kun."

As she spoke, she took out a folded blueprint from her storage ring and handed it to Ye Hui.

Tomoyo: (-) Hey~

Seeing this, Ye Hui coughed awkwardly.

He didn't want to admit that he had done it on purpose.

I was afraid Tomoyo would produce the design drawings, but I still couldn't escape it.

He took the blueprints and quickly glanced at them.

The drawing depicts a swallowtail cape in the same color scheme as Sakura's, with a simple yet elegant design that matches Sakura's battle outfit perfectly.

He sighed softly, looked at Zhi Shi's bright dark purple eyes, and without further hesitation, he channeled his spiritual power, using the Illusory Cloud Robe to conjure a cloak, which he draped over his body and fit perfectly.

When Tomoyo saw him wearing the cloak, her eyes lit up again, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Ye Huijun is so handsome~"

"Arigato."

Ye Hui pushed open the old wooden door of the old house and led the two girls inside.

The house was pitch black.

Only the sound of their three footsteps echoed clearly in the empty room.

Ye Hui didn't linger and went straight to the long table where the ancient books were placed.

The book still lay quietly on the table, cover up. The ancient pavilion and woman on it, in the dim light, exuded an eerie aura, exactly the same as during the day.
