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

Chapter 159: Aside from Sakura and Tomoyo, I don't have the habit of waiting for anyone else (Bonus chapter with 717 million words)
"Ye Hui-kun, are you going to open it?" Sakura's heart pounded as she watched Ye Hui's hand reach for the ancient book. Her voice was tense, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

Tomoyo stood beside Sakura, quietly watching Ye Hui's actions, showing no fear, only complete trust in him.

She trusted Ye Hui's judgment and believed that they could work together to solve the current problem!

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

"Of course we have to open it." Ye Hui turned his head and smiled at the two of them. "If we don't open it, how can we invite the owner inside out? We can't just keep waiting here."

"I don't have the habit of waiting for anyone except Sakura and Tomoyo."

As he spoke, without the slightest hesitation, he placed his palm on the cover of the ancient book and gently turned the page.

Wow~

The moment the book was turned.

Suddenly!

A blinding white light suddenly burst from the pages of the book, instantly illuminating the entire house and causing the three of them to instinctively close their eyes.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Ye Hui squinted, with only one thought in his mind.

Who's going to stop the light pollution in the magical girl world...?

This light is too dazzling. I should have prepared a magic item to protect against strong light in advance.

You can use it someday when you encounter someone using high beams.

Suddenly, a cool sensation came from the direction of the book.

Suddenly, a large amount of clear water gushed out from that page of the book.

The water flowed swiftly, like an out-of-control fountain, spreading across the ground in an instant.

It quickly flooded most of the room, engulfing all three of them in water.

Ye Hui did not resist, but let the water swallow him up.

He could sense that there was no malice in the water; it was more like a teleportation medium that could take them to another space.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly.

The walls, tables, and chairs of the old house gradually became blurred until they finally disappeared completely.

When her vision cleared again, Sakura looked at her familiar surroundings and widened her eyes slightly: "This...this is the place from my dream!"

Before them stretched a deep, boundless body of water.

The water was as calm as a mirror, yet it exuded an indescribable chill.

Countless white ribbons floated slowly in the water, as if they were alive, swirling around them and occasionally brushing against their bodies, bringing a cool touch.

Tomoyo's eyes lit up as she looked at the scene before her, and her voice was filled with excitement: "(^～^) The scenery here is so beautiful! The white ribbons are floating on the water, and the lighting is so special. Sakura, if we could take a picture of you fighting here, it would definitely be amazing!"

Sakura paused, then turned to Tomoyo with a wry smile, looking at her helplessly: "Tomoyo, this isn't the time to talk about this! Don't you think these ribbons are weird? They seem to be watching us the whole time, and I have a feeling there's danger."

Ye Hui looked around carefully.

Pity.

This space looks intimidating.

Essentially, it is an illusion constructed by magic.

It's somewhat like the Mustard Seed World of the cultivation world, but much simpler, unable to fully simulate even the real physical rules.

“The water here… doesn’t seem like real water.” Sakura looked down at her body, took a breath, and tilted her head in surprise. “We can still breathe and talk normally, and we don’t feel suffocated at all in the water.”

At this moment, Kero, who had been hiding in Tomoyo's pocket, peeked out, looked around at the surroundings, nodded, and said in a serious voice, "That's right, this entire space is made of pure magic, including this water and ribbons, which are all materialized manifestations of magic."

"However, to be able to construct such a vast and stable illusion space, the opponent's magic power must be considerable, at least much stronger than mine now. But, brat, you can create such a realistic world using only arrays."

As Xiao Ke spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she glanced at Ye Hui.

Just how strong is this little brat?

Such a realistic world, with that tower, and the rewards you get when you fight monsters!

It's like it's playing a video game!

Are all cultivators this outrageous?

That's an outrageous tactic!

at this time.

A soft, yet sorrowful female voice suddenly rang out in the open water, echoing in everyone's ears.

"After waiting for so many long years... I've finally waited for you..."

As the words fell, the figure of a woman dressed in magnificent ancient costume slowly materialized in the water in front of them.

She wore a long, bright red dress embroidered with floral patterns, floating above the water. Her long, black hair was not tied up and flowed freely behind her. Her face was filled with unyielding sorrow, and her eyes stared blankly ahead.

[Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a protector of the Dharma, entered the blessed land you had long been eyeing. Who knew that it truly contained fragments of divine consciousness left behind by ancient cultivators!]

[The ancient cultivators believed you harbored ill intentions towards the treasures she left behind, and indiscriminately attacked everyone within the blessed land! You were caught in the crossfire!]

[Daodouji Tomoyo, deeply moved by the ancient cultivator's past emotional entanglements, decides to help him resolve them!]

Your chance has come again! If you can help Daidouji Tomoyo fulfill her wish, wouldn't she throw herself at you?!

[You have refreshed the side quest for finding a partner – "Trapped in a Love Tribulation"!]

Sakura recognized the other person and her voice was wary: "It's you! The woman from my dream! What do you want?"

The sorcerer ignored Sakura's question.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, her eyes devoid of any emotion, until it landed on Xiao Ying, at which point she paused slightly, then a deep disappointment welled up inside her, and her voice turned icy.

"You are not him... so why do you have his magical aura on you?"

"Why...why not him?"

"Why are you children like you brought in? Answer me!"

"We..." Sakura was taken aback by her sudden question, and subconsciously clenched her fists, not knowing how to answer.

She had no idea who the "he" the other person was talking about was, nor did she understand why she had been dragged into this trouble.

Didn't you target me first?

Why are they turning the tables on me right from the start?

"We're here to resolve this trouble." Ye Hui stepped forward, shielding Sakura and Tomoyo behind him, and calmly looked back at the mage, his voice neither humble nor arrogant. "You've been harassing my friend with dreams, keeping her awake at night, and even trying to control her consciousness. Don't you think that's a bit impolite?"

"Your friend?" The sorcerer sneered. "She is not your friend, she is mine... the sacrifice I have been waiting for all these years! The magic within her can allow me to regain my physical form, and can allow me to find him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sorcerer suddenly raised his hand, and a deep blue magical power condensed in his palm.

In an instant, the surrounding calm waters were churned up into huge waves, several meters high, with a destructive force, crashing straight towards Sakura.

"Sakura, watch out!" Tomoyo exclaimed, instinctively trying to shield Sakura.

"Don't worry about me, Tomoyo, protect yourself! Wind—!" Sakura reacted quickly, immediately raising her hand to summon the Wind Card.

In an instant, a strong gust of wind surged from her palm, transforming into a tornado that blew towards the giant wave, attempting to stop its advance.

However, the giant wave seemed unaffected by the wind, still approaching her with unstoppable force.

"Useless!" The sorcerer's face revealed a disdainful smile, his voice icy cold. "In this magical space I have constructed, I am the master! The power of all of you will become my nourishment!"

Seeing the sorcerer bullying Sakura so brazenly in front of him, Ye Hui's eyes turned cold.

"Dominator? You've got quite the nerve. It's a pity you haven't even realized that you're already a dead soul."

She's so love-struck that she really thinks she's something special.

"That's right! You old hag who appeared out of nowhere! You're too arrogant!" Xiao Ke flew out of Zhi Shi's pocket, hovering in mid-air, echoing Ye Hui's words.

In this situation, of course we should always focus on external threats, regardless of whether we can win or not; we should first give the other side a piece of our mind!
[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

"Noisy pet!" The mage frowned, somewhat angered by Xiao Ke's words.

She casually parted a stream of water, like a whip, and lashed it towards Xiao Ke with astonishing speed!

Swish!
"What?! I'm not a pet! You weird old hag!" Xiao Ke retorted angrily while frantically dodging, her movements clumsy but her spirit unyielding.

Although being immoral is a bit of a scumbag, it shouldn't implicate Sakura.

It's time to wake this sorcerer up and stop him from living in his own fantasy.

"Absolute zero."

The moment Ye Hui finished speaking, the water and giant waves that were rushing towards Xiaoying and Xiaoke came to an abrupt halt.

The deep blue water froze into ice at a visible speed, eventually turning into a crystal-clear ice sculpture that remained frozen in the water. Even the surrounding water surface was frozen into a thin layer of ice, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

Sakura stared wide-eyed in surprise at the sight before her.

Tomoyo breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Ye Hui intervened in time, otherwise Sakura would have been in danger.

Xiao Ke landed directly on an ice sculpture, patted his chest, and exclaimed, "You scared me! Looks like this old lady isn't so bad after all!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

"This is..." The mage, who was suspended in mid-air, showed a look of shock for the first time.

She stared at the frozen water, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had never seen a power that could directly freeze water streams made of magic.

This was completely beyond her understanding of magic!
"Who...who exactly are you?" The sorcerer looked at Ye Hui with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Me?" Ye Hui's lips curled into a faint smile. "An ordinary cultivator."

[You, like a fox borrowing the tiger's might, used the illusion created by the sect's artifacts to thoroughly intimidate this arrogant ancient cultivator! Seeing her shocked expression, you felt a surge of pleasure in toying with her!]

Ye Hui glanced at the system log and was in a good mood.

Well, although the description was a bit sleazy, at least he wasn't portrayed as a villain anymore.

"Cultivators? What are those? Humph, don't play tricks here!" The demonic Taoist was obviously unfamiliar with the term and became furious, but dared not make a move easily again, only watching Ye Hui warily.

Ye Hui touched his chin.

Even the sorcerers of Clow Reed's era didn't know about the existence of cultivation?

Does this world actually have its own indigenous cultivation forces?

Or is it that the cultivation system has never existed in this world?
So he and Zhi Shi really became the only two cultivators in this world?
Actually, it's not so bad.

Because at least this way, if he wants to go with someone, his only option is Tomoyo-chan~
It seems that Tomoyo's only option is... cough!
"Frozen...frozen?" Sakura looked at the ice sculptures, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.

This freezing power might be useful against the magic of sorcerers!
That's true! Since Ye Huijun can use ice to freeze the magic water of a sorcerer.

Could she try using frozen brand products?
Thinking of this, Sakura's eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her magic wand, aiming it at the mage floating in mid-air.

"Frozen!"

As the spell was cast, the Frozen Card flew out of the wand, transforming into a pale blue light in the air.

Although its power was far less than Ye Hui's Absolute Zero, it still quickly condensed a thin layer of ice around the mage's body, like a cage, covering her and temporarily restricting her movements.

The surface of the ice gleamed with a cold light, making the mage's red dress appear particularly dazzling.

"Well done, Sakura, you learn pretty fast!"

Ye Hui watched as Xiaoying summoned the Frozen Card, which affected the love-struck magician, and praised him with a smile.

Sakura is good at quickly learning from battles.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

"hey-hey……"

Sakura felt a little embarrassed by the praise, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she gripped her wand even tighter.

With Ye Huijun's approval, she felt even more confident in dealing with the current crisis!
The mage glanced down at the ice wrapped around his body, then looked up at the wand in Sakura's hand. His shock deepened, his eyes filled with disbelief, and his voice became sharp and shrill.

"Clow Cards?! Why would you have Clow Cards?! This is impossible—!"

In her mind, the Clow Cards were things that Clow Reed made by his own hands.

Only Clow Reed himself can control it!
But now, this little girl who looks no more than ten years old can actually use the Clow Cards?!

This completely overturned her understanding!

"I originally planned to use dreams and magic to lure Clow Reed here, so why did it turn out to be you kids?"

The sorcerer's emotions grew increasingly agitated, her body struggling violently within the ice, her chest filled with resentment and anger.

"Where is Clow Reed? Where is he?! Tell him to come out and see me! Why has he been hiding from me all these years?!"

She screamed and struggled with all her might.

The thin ice on his body soon began to crackle, and fine cracks spread rapidly, clearly indicating that he could no longer hold on.

"Hey! You woman, are you even being reasonable?!" Kero flew up from the ice sculpture, hands on his hips, circling in mid-air, and said indignantly, "You were the one who harassed Sakura with the dream first, and then forcibly dragged us into this space, and now you're blaming us? How could we possibly hide Clow Reed? You unreasonable old lady!"

"Shut up! You noisy pet! Go back to your cage!" The mage was completely enraged by Xiao Ke's words. He roared and a powerful burst of magic suddenly erupted from his body.

This magic was even stronger than before, sweeping out like a tsunami, instantly shattering the ice layer on my body. Fragments scattered and landed on the water, making a series of sounds.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is Clow Reed?!" The sorcerer's eyes turned crazed as he roared obsessively, "If you don't hand him over, I'll steal all your magic and drain you dry!! Once I regain my strength, I'll go find him myself! You'll all become my food now!"

The moment the words fell.

The trends of the entire world began to surge wildly.

The once calm water surface was suddenly rippled with waves several meters high.

Countless streams of water, like venomous snakes, twisted and swirled in the air before all rushing towards Ye Hui and his two companions!

The white ribbons fluttering around were also swept up by the water flow, becoming as sharp as knives.

"Be careful!" Ye Hui reacted quickly, grabbing Sakura and Tomoyo's hands and initiating a spatial jump.

The three figures vanished instantly, dodging the attacks of countless streams of water, and reappeared in a safe area dozens of meters away in the next second. "Ye Hui-jun, she seems angry." Sakura looked at the swirling water around her, her voice tense, and held Ye Hui's hand.

"It's not just that he seems to be, he's already furious." Ye Hui curled his lip.

This woman really does unleash her ultimate move at the drop of a hat, without even bothering to land two basic attacks.

However, it must be admitted that as a female magician of the same era as Clow Reed, her magical power is indeed astonishing, making her arguably the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered.

—Of course, this excludes Li Yelan and Guan Yue.

After all, Ye Hui had never actually fought against these people.

at this time.

Suddenly, Xiao Ke shouted in mid-air, "I remember! I remember who she is!"

It flapped its wings, its voice filled with disbelief, but its eyes were fixed on the sorcerer. "She was a female sorcerer who was on par with Clow Reed back in the day! I think her name was... whatever it was. Anyway, she and Clow Reed had a complicated history back then!"

"You finally remember who she is?" Ye Hui said, pulling Sakura and Tomoyo along as they swiftly and calmly navigated the turbulent water.

He would occasionally use spatial jumps to avoid the oncoming water blades, while glancing at Xiao Ke in mid-air.

This guy's memory is barely better than a fish's; he's finally remembered now?
I'm sorry, that seems a bit insulting to fish.

“She used to be a fortune teller in Hong Kong!” Xiao Ke flapped her wings. “I remember her name was… um, it should be Shui Bu, yes, Shui Bu! She was best at using the reflections in the water to tell fortunes, and she was quite famous in this area back then.”

Water divination? Divination using water?
Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

The name is quite descriptive.

While observing the flow of the water around her, Tomoyo asked curiously, "Then why does she know Mr. Clow Reed? And judging from her appearance, she seems to have a deep obsession with Mr. Clow Reed; it doesn't seem like an ordinary acquaintance."

"Well..." Little Ke scratched its fluffy little head, its wings still flapping unconsciously, and its face showed an expression that said, "Let me think about it carefully."

Then he raised his head with a smug look on his face, "This is a long story! It all started when Kuro and I came to Hong Kong together back then."

Hearing Xiao Ke's familiar opening line, Ye Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Get to the point, no nonsense, get to the heart of the matter!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blade of water grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep mark on the ice behind him.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +6]

"Ahem!" Xiao Ke was interrupted by Ye Hui. She cleared her throat awkwardly, quickly lowered her voice, and spoke faster. "Back then, this woman named Shui Bu had a very successful business in Hong Kong, relying on her unique skill in water divination. People lined up every day to have their fortunes told by her."

"Until one day, Clow Reed passed by her stall and, on a whim..."

"Although Kuro is not a professional fortune teller, he is proficient in all kinds of magic and occasionally helps people with their fortunes and divination."

"Unexpectedly, his predictions were even more accurate than those of a diviner, and he immediately attracted all her customers, which was tantamount to stealing her business."

While helping Ye Hui dodge the water, Sakura asked, "So that's why she holds a grudge against Mr. Clow? She feels that Mr. Clow stole her business, which is why she keeps bothering him?"

Xiao Ke nodded heavily and said with certainty, "That's right! From then on, she would pick a fight with Kuro whenever she had the chance, pestering him every day to compete in divination, determined to prove that she was better than Kuro and win back the face and customers she had lost."

"So what was the result? Did she win?" Sakura pressed.

In her mind, Clow Reed was a very powerful magician, but Mizuki seemed to be his equal, or rather, they were from the same era, and perhaps Mizuki also had some extraordinary abilities.

"Of course not!"

Kero looked at Sakura with an expression that said, "Are you stupid?", as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"Who is Kuro? He's the greatest magician of all time! No one can compare to him in terms of magical power or divination ability! How could this fortune teller possibly win?"

“Every time they competed, she lost miserably, without even a chance to fight back! But she just wouldn’t give up. She would fight again after losing, like a piece of chewing gum that she couldn’t shake off. She clung to Kuro for a long time.”

Ye Hui blinked after listening to Xiao Ke's story.

How shameless! You've really stirred up quite a few romantic entanglements.

And then there's Xiao Ke, that blockhead.

They actually mistook someone else's obsession for a simple business competition, completely failing to see that Mizuho's obsession with Clow Reed went beyond a mere contest.
But you can't really blame it; after all, it's just a toy.
Just then, Tomoyo suddenly raised a crucial question: "But even if she and Mr. Clow Reed had a grudge in the past, that was decades ago."

"The lifespan of a normal human is at most a hundred years. How could she possibly be alive now and still possess such powerful magic? This doesn't make sense."

"Ah, she's actually dead. What you see now is just her soul, her obsession, and the embodiment of her magic," Ye Hui said calmly.

"Huh? Dead?!" Sakura and Tomoyo were both stunned.

Neither of them expected that the "person" in front of them who could control powerful magic was actually a dead soul.

No wonder Ye Hui was talking about souls with her earlier.
[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

“That’s right, this woman is already dead.” Xiao Ke flapped its wings and flew to Ye Hui’s side, confirming his statement. Its voice was somewhat mournful. “She used a very ancient forbidden technique that allowed her to transfer her consciousness and some of her magic power into a vessel before she died. This book was her vessel.”

"However, this kind of spell is extremely difficult and requires a very high level of determination. If one does not have an extraordinary level of determination to support it, it is impossible to succeed, let alone maintain it for so many years without dissipating."

"She probably doesn't even remember that she's dead anymore; all that's left in her mind is her obsession."

Ye Hui looked at the divination stick that was still controlling the water flow not far away and shook his head.

For a man, she turned herself into this inhuman, ghostly state, trapped in an illusion for decades.

I miss you day and night, and grieve for you every night.

It's so sad and pitiful.

However pitiful they may be, the immediate trouble still needs to be resolved.

We can't keep playing hide-and-seek with her here forever, can we?
"Kero, since you know her, how are we supposed to deal with her now? Her magic is so strong, and this illusion is her territory. If we fight her head-on, we definitely won't stand a chance." Sakura frowned as she looked at the still raging water around her.

“Unless we can make her give up her obsession and dissipate on her own, no one can do anything about her.” Xiao Ke spread her little paws. “This kind of soul that is sustained by obsession is essentially immortal as long as the obsession remains. Even if her form is temporarily broken, she can reassemble herself with magic.”

How can you get a ghost that has existed for decades because of its obsession to give up its obsession?

Sakura was a little embarrassed.

This sounds like it's much harder than defeating the opponent head-on!
"Isn't there any other way? We can't stay trapped here forever, can we?" Sakura was somewhat unwilling.

She didn't want to be trapped by one person's obsession, and she didn't want Ye Hui and Zhi Shi to be in danger because of her!
“Perhaps we can try telling her the truth?” Tomoyo suggested. “Tell her the truth about Mr. Clow Reed. Maybe after she knows the truth, her obsession will slowly dissipate.”

"Tell her that Clow Reed is dead? Dead for decades?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow. "If she could believe that truth, she wouldn't be here waiting foolishly for decades."

"Her obsession had long since led her to selectively ignore all the possibilities that Clow Reed was no longer there."

"But we have to try to find out," Tomoyo said, looking at Ye Hui.

Ye Hui tilted his head: "Alright then, let's give it a try. But you guys have to be prepared, she might become even more insane because of this truth."

He grabbed Sakura and Tomoyo, activated the space jump again, dodged a wave of oncoming water blade attacks, and then stopped not far from Mizuki.

"How are you, Shuibu?" Ye Hui called out in Shuibu's direction. His voice wasn't loud, but it pierced through the roar of the water and reached Shuibu's ears clearly.

Shui Bu, who was manipulating the water flow, paused, slowly turned his head, and his cold gaze fell on Ye Hui, temporarily stopping his attack.

Ye Hui watched her stop moving, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Do you want to know where Clow Reed, whom you've waited for decades, even resorting to forbidden techniques to trap yourself, is now?"

"Where is he?" Shuibu's voice suddenly became shrill.

"Do you really want to know?" Ye Hui didn't answer directly, but instead asked in a slow and deliberate manner.

"Speak! Stop beating around the bush!" Shui Tou's emotions were on the verge of exploding, and the magic power around her began to surge wildly. The surrounding water became unstable again, as if a new giant wave was about to rise at any moment. "If you dare to lie to me, I will drain all your magic power and trap you here forever!"

"Clow Reed, he's dead." Ye Hui calmly revealed the truth to Mizuto as he watched her near-madness, each word reaching her ears.

"Dead?" Upon hearing these two words, Shuibu seemed to be frozen in place, his movements instantly stiffening. He stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into a shrill, ear-piercing laugh, filled with madness and disbelief. "Hahahaha! What nonsense are you spouting! You're lying to me! You're lying to me! How could he possibly be dead? He's the greatest magician! He possesses boundless magic power; it's impossible for him to die!"

"I don't believe your nonsense! You little liar!" Shuibo's emotions grew increasingly agitated, his eyes filled with venom. "You're definitely trying to make up lies to distract me, and then take the opportunity to run away with them! I won't fall for it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuifu raised her hand again, and then condensed a deeper blue magic power that was even more concentrated than before.

Countless sharp water blades condensed in the air and shot towards Ye Hui and his two companions at such a speed that their trajectories were almost invisible!
"Clow Reed is indeed dead! He's been dead for a long time!" Kero rushed to Mizuto and shouted, trying to make her accept reality. "I saw him leave with my own eyes. It's a fact, we're not lying!"

"You lied to me too! You've all lied to me!" Shui Bu completely lost control of her emotions, her magical energy fluctuations became extremely unstable, the surrounding waters began to churn violently, and even the light in the illusion space flickered. "I've waited for him for so many years, from when I was young, I've been waiting, and I've been waiting until now!"

"He will come back! He will come to see me! He promised me."

Mizubu roared and muttered to himself, it was unclear whether he was trying to convince himself or escaping reality.

"He never promised you anything!" Keroberos ruthlessly shattered her illusions. "Kuro never promised to come back to see you, nor did he make any agreements with you! All these years of waiting, you using forbidden techniques to trap yourself, it was all just wishful thinking on your part!"

“No…it’s not like that…” Mizuto shook his head in anguish.

Since reasoning is not working, we have no choice but to fight.

For Mizuto, obsession has long been the meaning of her existence. It would be foolish to think that she could persuade someone with a few words.

He turned to Sakura and Tomoyo beside him and said in a deep voice, "Are you ready? We're going to start our counterattack. This time, we'll go all out."

"Yes!" Sakura and Tomoyo nodded at the same time.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

"Tomoyo, use the water flow to restrain her movements, entangle her water flow, and limit the spread of her magic as much as possible."

"Hey!" Tomoyo responded immediately, bringing her two fingers together and mobilizing the spiritual power within her body.

Although she is not good at fighting, she has an extremely strong control over the elements.

Several thick streams of water quickly coalesced, like ropes, and flew towards Shui Bu, attempting to entangle her body.

"Sakura, use the Wind Card to assist Tomoyo and strengthen the binding force of the water flow!" Ye Hui immediately gave the second instruction.

"Windy!" Sakura raised her wand without hesitation and summoned the Wind Card.

A strong gust of wind swept in instantly, but instead of dispersing the water flow, it propelled the water forward, making it faster and more swirling, creating a wind-assisted force on the water.

While the two launched their attack, Ye Hui was not idle either.

He poured all the spiritual power in his body into his palm, and dazzling lightning condensed on his fingers. Then, he suddenly threw the Storm Token in his hand and shouted, "Five Thunder Orthodox Method!"

"Wind and Thunder Summoning!"

As Ye Hui finished his incantation, the Lan Card transformed into a cyan whirlwind, merging with the lightning in his palm to instantly form a lightning tornado thicker than ever before.

The tornado, its outer layer wreathed in raging wind blades and its inner layer flashing with blinding lightning, swept towards the water spirit bound by the current with overwhelming force.

"boom--!"

A loud bang exploded in the illusion space!

The lightning instantly engulfed Mizuto's figure. The dazzling light caused Sakura and Tomoyo to instinctively close their eyes, leaving only the howling wind and the roar of thunder in their ears.

After a few seconds, the light gradually faded.

Sakura cautiously opened her eyes: "Did...did it work?"

"It should have succeeded, right? That attack was so powerful..." Tomoyo slowly recovered from the deafening bombardment.

"No, not yet." Ye Hui shook his head.

Although the lightning and gale dissipated, water mist filled most of the space.

However, he could still sense a faint fluctuation of magic, which was proof that the water spirit had not completely dissipated.

Seriously? Is there some kind of "no harm from smoking" rule?

However, as the mist gradually dissipated, Mizuto's figure reappeared.

The once magnificent bright red ancient costume was now tattered and torn, with several large tears in the hem, and the exposed fabric had lost its luster.

Her form was more transparent than before, and her figure was much more ethereal. Wisps of black energy emanated from her body, a sign of her magic power dissipating, indicating that she was seriously injured.

At this moment, she seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her away, completely different from the fierce and imposing sorcerer she had been before.

Moreover, her magical fluctuations became extremely weak.

But in her eyes, a trace of unwavering determination still lingered.

It was this unwavering determination that allowed her body to rapidly begin its recovery.

"It's still not gone?" Xiao Ke stared wide-eyed in shock at Shui Bu's miserable state, which still hadn't completely dissipated.

It was startled by Ye Hui's attack just now!
This woman didn't even know to dodge, and she took the hit without disappearing!

It clicked its tongue in disbelief: "This guy's obsession is too deep! Even after being beaten like this, he still won't give up!"

Ye Hui was also somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that the wind and thunder attack just now would be enough to shatter her body, but he didn't expect that she could still hold on.

It seems I underestimated this old ghost who had been sustained by his obsession for decades.

Despite his surprise, Ye Hui quickly calmed down.

Although I couldn't defeat her in one move, I'll just have to do a few more.

Of course, the current divination method no longer poses any threat to them.

The magic around her was so weak that it was almost negligible; her illusory figure struggled to even maintain its form, let alone launch an attack.

Even though the obsession remained, and she tried to mend her figure, the injuries were too severe, and even if she didn't die, it would be difficult to achieve anything.

The illusory figure of the Water God swayed in the air, as if it might collapse at any moment.

She looked at Ye Hui and the other two, her voice weak but tinged with doubt: "Why... do you have such great power... who... who are you?"

She still can't understand it.

How could these three seemingly young children possess the strength to defeat him?
She's a fortune teller!
Only Clow Reed has ever defeated her countless times!
Seeing Mizuto's disheveled and helpless state, Sakura's hostility, which stemmed from the inexplicable attack earlier, gradually dissipated without her realizing it.

She even felt a little sorry for this woman who had been trapped by her obsession for decades.
I transformed myself into this state for someone who is impossible to be with.

"We came here to resolve the trouble," Ye Hui said, looking at Shui Bu. "It seems the trouble is almost completely resolved now."

"Solve?" Mizuto muttered to himself, repeating the two words with a blank look in his eyes.

She looked down at her illusory, transparent hands, then looked up at the watery illusion she had created with her magic. Suddenly, she gave a bitter laugh, a laugh filled with self-mockery and despair: "Yes... it's all over... decades of waiting, it was all a joke from the very beginning..."

Ye Hui looked at her like this and quickly thought about what was going on in his mind.

The system-refreshed "Trapped in Love Tribulations" quest is not yet complete. Clearly, simply defeating her is probably not enough; she must completely let go of her obsession in order to truly complete the quest.

The best way to help her let go of her obsession is perhaps to let her see the "truth" of what happened back then.

He thought for a moment, then, without further hesitation, took out a glowing Clow Card from his system inventory.

"Return Card?" Sakura recognized it at a glance and asked in surprise, "Ye Hui-kun, are you going to use Return Card? But Return Card consumes a lot of magic power and is difficult to control."
