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

Chapter 164 Ye Huijun, want to go winter swimming together?! (Bonus chapter with 1217 million words)
At that moment, Tomoyo walked over with a camera, her gaze falling on the bubble card in Sakura's hand: "Sakura, can I see this Clow Card? I couldn't see it clearly in the bubble before, but now that I'm looking at it up close, it seems quite special."

"Of course!" Sakura readily agreed and handed over the bubble card.

The bubble card has a faint blue glow on its surface and features a cute little sprite holding a bubble.

Tomoyo gently took the card, her fingers touching the smooth surface. Looking at the little sprite on it, she tilted her head and said, "This Clow Card looks so cute. It doesn't seem like it would cause any trouble at all."

"Hmph! It's not cute at all!" Kero flapped its little wings and flew over, landing beside Tomoyo's hand. It stared at the bubble card with a displeased look, as if it had recalled some bad memories. "Let me tell you, this bubble card was created by Clow Reed just to give me a bath! Every time, it leaves me soaking wet! I don't like taking baths at all!"

"Give you a bath?" Sakura was stunned.

“That’s right!” Little Ke nodded vigorously, her little paws on her hips, her voice indignant. “That guy Kuro used to be too lazy to give me a bath manually, so he would use this bubble card to create a huge pile of bubbles, then throw me in, and even control the bubbles to rub all over my body, making me so itchy! After the bath, I was covered in the smell of foam, it really made me so angry!”

As Ye Hui watched Xiao Ke's furious and flustered appearance, images of her running wild automatically played in his mind.

A fluffy doll, enveloped in countless bubbles, flutters its tiny wings in the bathtub...

Oh no, that was when Ke was based on her original form.

Will that bathtub be big enough to hold it?
It's so big, one tank isn't enough to hold it all!
"Oh, I see. No wonder you hate bubble cards so much." Tomoyo looked at the bubble cards in her hand, then at the sulking Kero, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Sakura's eyes lit up when she saw Kero covered in foam residue and his fur all messy.

She leaned close to Tomoyo's ear, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Tomoyo's eyes lit up instantly, and her gaze towards Kero became exceptionally "gentle."

Xiao Ke felt uneasy under their gazes, slowing down the flapping of her wings and taking two steps back warily: "You...you two, what do you want? Don't look at me like that!"

Sakura took the bubble card that Tomoyo handed her and slowly raised it.

"Xiao Ke, you got covered in foam from the bath, it must have been uncomfortable, right? Perfect, I'll give you a bath and clean you up properly with a foam pad, I'll make sure you're spotless!"

"Take a...bath?!" Upon hearing these two words, Xiao Ke immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I don't want to take a bath! I'm perfectly clean, not dirty at all! I don't need to wash!"

As it spoke, it frantically flapped its little wings and turned to fly towards the door, trying to escape.

However, before it had flown far, a black shadow suddenly rose from the ground, wrapped around its body like a vine, and firmly fixed it in mid-air, unable to move.

Ye Hui calmly withdrew his hand from controlling the shadow.

He had seen Sakura and Tomoyo's little antics earlier, and since they wanted to "tease" Kero, he didn't mind helping them out.

"You brat, what are you doing! Let me go!" Xiao Ke struggled desperately, waving her claws wildly, glaring at Ye Hui with a furious expression, but she couldn't break free from the shadow's restraints.

Ye Hui blinked and said innocently, "Sakura and Tomoyo just wanted to help you take a bath, so just accept it. Besides, you do have a lot of soap residue on you right now. Look, your fur is all matted. A good wash will make you feel better and save you from always being all dirty."

Seeing that Koko was under control, Sakura immediately raised the bubble card and walked towards it.

"Xiao Ke, don't struggle, it'll be quick, don't worry, I'll be very gentle!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Tomoyo quickly followed, not forgetting to turn on the camera, and said with a smile, "I'm going to record Kero taking a bath. Later, I can compile it with the previous videos into a collection. That would be really interesting!"

Seeing the two girls closing in step by step, and the shadow tightly trapping her, Xiao Ke closed her eyes in despair, muttering repeatedly, "You've gone too far! I protest! I protest!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

"I told you I'm not dirty!" Little Ke twisted its body, which was bound by the shadow, and retorted loudly, not forgetting to pat its fur, which was still covered with foam residue, with its little paws.

Although it felt sticky and uncomfortable all over, it would never give up easily when it came to taking a bath!

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

It doesn't want to be like Kuro before, wrapped in bubbles and rolled around like a "dumpling"!
That was practically its childhood trauma!

"Sakura! Tell that brat to let me go! We're partners!" Kero gave up struggling and instead cast a pitiful, pleading look at Sakura.

However, Sakura just looked at it with a smile, still playing with the bubble cards in her hand.

"Xiao Ke, just take a nice bath. You'll feel so nice and refreshed afterward. And once you're clean, you can eat the delicious food I've prepared for you—all your favorites."

"Huh? Delicious? Really?" Xiao Ke's ears perked up instantly. "Do you have strawberry cake? It has to have lots of cream and strawberries on top!"

"Yes! Not only strawberry cake, but also chocolate mousse and takoyaki, I guarantee you'll have plenty, eat your fill!" Sakura assured her, patting her chest.

Xiao Ke was conflicted.

On one hand, there is the humiliation of being besieged by bubbles.

On one hand, there's the irresistible temptation of strawberry cake and takoyaki.
This is practically testing its willpower!
Its little head was spinning rapidly, and it was so conflicted that its paws curled up.

"Well? Still haven't made up your mind? If you hesitate any longer, I'll eat the cake." Ye Hui leaned leisurely against the door frame and said slowly, "Don't regret it if you don't decide soon."

"Okay! I'll wash!" Xiao Ke finally gritted her teeth and blurted out.

What does dignity matter when faced with delicious food?
Besides, it's just taking a shower!
As long as Sakura goes easy on her, she won't lose a piece of flesh!
It's better than watching someone else, especially a nasty brat, steal the delicious food!
[Kerberos's Mood Value +20]

Seeing this, Ye Hui smiled and snapped his fingers, activating the "Return to the Origin" ability.

In an instant, foam scattered throughout the laundry room and water stains appeared on the floor.

Even the bubble stains on Tomoyo and Sakura's clothes were restored to their original state.

Only Xiao Ke, who was bound by the shadow, still had foam residue on his body, and not a single hair had been cleaned off.

Looking at the newly renovated laundry room, and then down at her own filthy paws, Xiao Ke instantly understood and bared her teeth in anger: "You brat! You could have just used your ability to restore yourself to normal! You deliberately made me agree to take a bath! You were just playing me!"

It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, yet was firmly trapped by its shadow, leaving it only with impotent rage.

Xiao Ke: _!!

[Kerberos's Mood Value +18]

Ye Hui shrugged: "But you've already promised to take a bath. A gentleman's word is his bond. Are you going to go back on your word?"

Xiao Ke struggled, Xiao Ke was powerless, Xiao Ke was completely controlled by the shadow.

In the end, it could only open its mouth and spew out a string of tiny flames as its final protest.

The flames fell to the ground, leaving not a single spark, which only made the scene look more pitiful.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +15]

Ye Hui stopped teasing it, manipulated the shadow to gently lift Xiao Ke, and walked towards the bathtub that had already been filled with water.

With a soft "whoosh".

Xiao Ke was gently placed into the warm water, and the splashing water landed on the edge of the bathtub, still carrying a hint of warmth.

Xiao Ke originally wanted to continue the boycott.

But when the warm water envelops its body and washes away the stickiness, it instantly relaxes and even comfortably squints its eyes.

It has to be said that taking a warm bath is really comfortable. The previous resistance was purely because Kuro had left too much psychological trauma on it.

"Oh...so comfortable..." It lay on the edge of the bathtub, its little paws resting on the rim, its tail gently slapping the water, looking completely relaxed.

"Kero, are you ready? I'm going to start using the bubble bath!" Sakura walked to the bathtub holding the bubble bath, her face full of excitement.

"Wait...wait!" Kero suddenly opened her eyes and quickly called out, "Could you...could you be a little gentler? Don't be like Clow, burying me in bubbles..."

"Don't worry, Kero, I'll be very gentle and I definitely won't make you uncomfortable." Sakura winked at it, then held up the bubble card and softly called out, "Bubble Card!"

As the spell fell.

Colorful bubbles slowly floated out of the bubble card.

Unlike before, it was not surging, but rather as light as a feather, slowly falling into the bathtub, gently covering Xiao Ke's body, and exuding a faint sweet fragrance.

"It smells so good!" Sakura leaned closer to the bathtub, took a deep sniff, and her eyes lit up instantly. "It smells like strawberries! It smells just like strawberry cake!"

"Really! I can even smell a sweet milk scent mixed with strawberry fragrance, it's not pungent at all!" Tomoyo also leaned over to take a sniff, a look of surprise on her face, her camera still recording the scene.

Ye Hui stood aside, looking at the bubbles floating on the water, feeling somewhat surprised.

Good heavens, this shower gel is actually a smart shower gel? It can automatically generate a fragrance based on the preferences of the people around you?
I didn't notice it when I was in the laundry room.

Now it seems that Clow Reed really took the concept of enjoyment to the extreme, even designing a support card like the Clow Card to be so thoughtful.

Really good at playing.

Xiao Ke lay in the bathtub, feeling the soft bubbles and faint sweet fragrance on her body. Her originally tense body completely relaxed, and she even yawned comfortably.

Wow, a bath without being completely submerged in bubbles can be this relaxing!
It glanced at Sakura furtively and muttered to itself.

It seems... taking a shower isn't so bad after all!

Especially since it has strawberry-flavored bubbles, and there's more delicious stuff waiting for it later!
Enveloped in sweet and fragrant bubbles, Xiao Ke's tense body completely relaxed.

It rolled comfortably in the bathtub, its round body splashing the water and creating tiny bubbles, some of which landed on its downy fur like tiny pearls.

"Tomoyo, look! Kero seems to really like strawberry-flavored bubbles!" Sakura pointed at Kero, who was splashing around happily in the bathtub, and smiled until her eyes curved into crescents.

I was initially worried that Xiao Ke wouldn't cooperate, but now it seems that it has completely fallen in love with this bubble bath.

Tomoyo wore a gentle smile, her camera always pointed at Kei.

"Mmm! Keke looks so cute when she's relaxed now~ Especially with the bubbles on her fur, she looks like a little moving pom-pom~"

"It's not cute! It's cool! I'm the guardian beast of the Clow Cards!" Kero poked his head out from the pile of bubbles, his wet ears drooping, but he still stubbornly retorted, not forgetting to swat the bubbles off his face with his little paws, trying to maintain his majestic image.

But to Sakura and Tomoyo, this soft rebuttal sounded more like a coquettish pout.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, their smiles deepening.

Ye Hui stood aside, watching Xiao Ke splashing around happily in the bathtub, and suddenly teased, "Don't you guys think that its round and chubby appearance looks a lot like a pudding swimming in milk tea? Especially the fluffy things covered in bubbles, it looks like it's covered in a layer of milk foam."

"Pudding?" Sakura and Tomoyo were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Kero in the bathtub.

A round body with a fluffy texture.

Add to that the pink bubbles floating around.

It does indeed bear some resemblance to the pudding in milk tea.

The two of them burst out laughing at the same time.

"Pfft! Ye Huijun, your analogy is too apt! From now on, when I drink milk tea and see pudding, I'll definitely think of what Xiao Ke looks like now!" Zhi Shi laughed.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

"It really is! It's round and plump, and smells sweet, just like strawberry pudding!" Sakura chimed in, poking Kero's head above the water. "Kero, you're a moving strawberry pudding right now!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

Xiaoke: "..."

It stared blankly at the three people who were laughing so hard they were doubled over, feeling that its beastly nature had been insulted like never before!
It's a majestic and awe-inspiring guardian!
[Kerberos's Mood Value +25]

"You...you've gone too far! How could you bully me like this!" Xiao Ke was so angry that she splashed around in the bathtub, slapping the water with her paws, splashing up a lot of water and bubbles.

However, its protest had no effect whatsoever; instead, it only made Sakura and Tomoyo laugh even harder.

It's so funny to see Xiao Ke puffing up her cheeks but having no other choice.

The joyful bathing activity ended amidst Xiao Ke's indignation and the laughter of the three of them.

After taking a shower.

Tomoyo used a hairdryer to make Kero's fluffy fur soft and fluffy, with a faint strawberry milk scent, and it felt as comfortable as a cloud to the touch.

Xiao Ke lay on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the strawberry cake that Xiao Ying fed her, while occasionally glaring at Ye Hui's wickedness. Her little tail wagged incessantly, clearly satisfied with the taste of the cake, and even her resentment towards the pudding had faded a bit.

Ye Hui ignored this and was sitting on the other sofa, close to Zhi Shi, admiring the bathing diary that she had just edited on her laptop.

The video not only shows the adorable way the little creature is surrounded by bubbles, but also its pouty protest, accompanied by upbeat background music, making it extremely funny.

It must be said that Tomoyo's filming techniques and editing skills are becoming more and more professional, and all kinds of details are handled very well.

Xiao Ke accidentally caught a glimpse of herself on the screen and immediately jumped up from the sofa, pointing her paw at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, shouting, "You're violating my portrait rights! I'm going to sue you!"

"Sue us? Sure." Ye Hui looked at it with a smile, not taking its threat seriously at all.

Ye Hui then added insult to injury: "But it seems you can't afford a lawyer, huh? And even if you did, do you think a judge would believe a talking plush toy?"

Xiaoke: "..."

It was instantly choked up, opened its mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute it.

Ye Hui is telling the truth.

He had neither the money to hire a lawyer nor the means to prove his portrait rights.

They could only watch helplessly as their embarrassing past was preserved.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +15]

After enjoying a strawberry-flavored afternoon tea at Daidoji's house.

Ye Hui bid farewell to Xiaoying and Zhishi and returned to his villa.

As soon as he entered, he opened the system panel and his eyes fell on the emotion value column.

The numbers that followed were much longer than before; those were the results of teasing Xiao Ke today.

Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction, secretly admiring the gesture.

Sure enough, Xiao Ke is his most loyal source of emotional support.

Just a little teasing is all it takes to win over a lot of their affection!
After closing the system panel, Ye Hui headed straight for the training area in the backyard.

For a cultivator with aspirations, being complacent with the status quo is absolutely unacceptable.

Moreover, he always felt that the black tentacles he had encountered in Hong Kong were definitely not simple things.

Although it hasn't revealed anything yet, Ye Hui's intuition tells him that there might be some big trouble hidden behind that thing.

In order to better protect Sakura and Tomoyo, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

……

In the following days, Ye Hui devoted almost all of his free time to cultivation.

One day, Ye Hui sat on a stone bench in the backyard, surrounded by a faint mist of spiritual energy.

He slowly circulated his internal energy, guiding the spiritual power within his body to flow through his meridians.

As spiritual energy flowed through his golden core, he clearly felt a powerful pushing force.

The barrier of the mid-stage Golden Core realm was weakened by the continuous impact of spiritual energy.

A crack has finally appeared!
With the final surge of spiritual energy, the barrier shattered!

A stronger spiritual energy spread through his body, flowing through his limbs and bones, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort.

"Phew... I've finally broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

Ye Hui slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes tired yet filled with undisguised joy. Although the breakthrough process was difficult, the result was ultimately good.

Although this was only a small improvement in cultivation level, he knew in his heart that the path of cultivation would become more and more difficult as he progressed.

Each breakthrough in a minor realm after the Golden Core stage requires accumulating sufficient power and breaking through invisible barriers between realms, which is by no means easy.

This breakthrough was made possible thanks to the rich spiritual energy of the Spirit Medicine Small World and my focused cultivation during this period; it was all worth it.

Just as Ye Hui was experiencing the changes brought about by the breakthrough, his cell phone, which was placed on the stone table, suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and pressed the answer button: "Hello? Sakura, good afternoon."

"Ye Huijun! Good afternoon!" came Xiaoying's energetic voice from the other end of the phone.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +4]

"Are you free right now? I have a fantastic suggestion that I guarantee you'll be interested!" Sakura deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"Oh? What suggestion?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go winter swimming!" Sakura announced excitedly without hesitation.

"Winter...winter swimming?" Upon hearing these two words, a big question mark instantly appeared on Ye Hui's forehead, and his voice even paused for a moment.

It's the dead of winter now. Although winter in Tomoeda Town isn't particularly cold, the outdoor temperature is still close to zero degrees Celsius.

Isn't Sakura afraid of the cold if she goes winter swimming in this weather?
He even subconsciously glanced at the weather outside the window to make sure he hadn't misheard.

“Yes! Winter swimming!” Sakura quickly explained, “I received a flyer on the street today. A huge indoor water park has just opened in Tomoeda Town. It has a heated pool with the water temperature always kept at around 25 degrees Celsius, so it’s not cold at all!”

"And there are all sorts of fun water slides and water castles there. The flyer says they're having a winter swimming festival right now, and there are discounts on tickets!"

Ye Hui suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh: "So you're going to the indoor water park. I thought you were going to go swimming in the river outdoors. I was just about to advise you not to be impulsive."

"You can't just jump into a river like that! How about it? Ye Hui-kun, do you want to come along? I've already told Tomoyo, and she said she really wants to go too!" Sakura extended the invitation again.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +5]

"Sure, of course I'll go." Ye Hui agreed without even thinking.

I can go to the water park with Sakura and Tomoyo.

How could he possibly refuse something that could both relax him and improve their relationship?

"When should we go? I'll arrange my time in advance."

"Let's do it tomorrow! We can play all day!" Sakura said impatiently.

“Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.” Ye Hui readily agreed on the time.

"Yay! Ye Huijun, you're the best! See you tomorrow!" Xiaoying cheered, her voice brimming with joy. She then reminded him a few more times not to be late tomorrow before hanging up the phone.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

After hanging up the phone, Ye Hui looked at his phone screen, and his mood became even more cheerful.

The exhilaration of breaking through a barrier, coupled with the anticipation of tomorrow's activities.

It even relieved a lot of his fatigue from cultivation.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Hui got ready, changed into casual clothes, and headed to the Zhi family.

Upon arrival, Tomoyo was already standing at the villa entrance, clearly having prepared in advance.

She wore a beige cashmere cape coat, soft and thick in texture, with delicate fur trim sewn on the collar and cuffs, which made her skin appear even whiter.

Underneath the coat was a dark blue turtleneck dress, the hem of which reached the knees, providing both warmth and elegance.

He was wearing a pair of light gray fingerless gloves, obviously for easy camera shooting at any time.

Upon seeing Ye Hui, Zhi Shi's eyes lit up. She quickly stepped forward, a gentle smile on her lips: "Good morning, Ye Hui-kun. You're here very early."

"You're here early too." Ye Hui smiled as he got out of the car and opened the door for her. "Xiao Ying should be ready soon too. Shall we wait for her for a bit, or go pick her up now?"

“I’ve already spoken to Sakura on the phone. She said she’s all packed, so it’s perfect for us to head over now.” Tomoyo got into the back seat.

Ye Hui told the driver to start the car and head towards Xiaoying's house.

The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the Kinomoto family's building.

From afar, Ye Hui saw Xiaoying standing at the door.

She wore a red duffle coat, the red color complementing her skin tone and making her look exceptionally vibrant. Her lower half was a light gray plaid skirt paired with over-the-knee socks, which was both cute and playful.

In addition, she wore a long, colorful scarf around her neck, burying most of her face in the soft fabric, leaving only her bright eyes peeking excitedly towards the intersection.

Upon seeing Ye Hui's car, Sakura immediately waved and called out in a clear voice, "Ye Hui-kun! Tomoyo! You're here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Good morning, Sakura," Tomoyo replied with a gentle smile through the car window.

"Hurry up and get in the car, or the popular rides at the water park might get crowded—oh wait, the water'll get cold if we don't go soon," Ye Hui joked.

"No way! It's a heated swimming pool, the water temperature is always warm!" Sakura stuck out her tongue, quickly opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Just then, a small head peeked out from the side pocket of her backpack.

It's nothing.

It peeked out from under the backpack, revealing a pair of round eyes, and bared its teeth at Ye Hui in the driver's seat.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +8]

Ye Hui pretended not to see its little tricks and told the driver to start the car and head towards the water park.

Sakura, sitting in the back seat, couldn't stay still for a moment. She chattered away, sharing her anticipation for the water park with the two of them, her words coming out like a torrent: "Let me tell you, I stayed up all night studying the flyers yesterday! They said there's a super long spiral water slide in the water park that goes down from the tallest tower, and it takes a full minute to go! There are also several sharp turns along the way, it sounds so exciting!"

"And there's more! There's a huge wave pool in the middle of the park that simulates ocean waves every half hour, so you can experience what it feels like to surf! I've never tried surfing before, I'm definitely going to have a blast this time!"

As Sakura spoke, she gestured with her hands to show what the water slide and wave pool looked like.

Tomoyo turned to the side, listening with a smile to Sakura's sharing, occasionally chiming in with, "That sounds really interesting, Sakura. Later, when you're on the water slide, I'm definitely going to take pictures of how excited you are; it'll be so cute!"

“Tomoyo…” Sakura’s cheeks flushed slightly when Tomoyo said that, and her voice lowered a few decibels as she scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

Ye Hui looked at Sakura's reaction in the rearview mirror, then glanced at Tomoyo beside him with a gentle expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up.

Sigh... who understands this kind of holiday life?

Soon, the car arrived at its destination.

The newly opened indoor water park is very large.

From the outside, the building is quite impressive, with the entire venue covered by a huge glass dome.

Sunlight streams through the glass into the interior, and even standing at the door, you can feel the warmth inside.

Stepping into the venue, a wave of humid, warm air hits you, a stark contrast to the cold weather outside. The temperature is just right, making you instantly want to take off your heavy coat.

"Let's go change quickly!" Sakura grabbed Tomoyo's hand and ran eagerly toward the changing room.

Ye Hui followed behind, and the three of them went into the changing room to change into their swimsuits.

He wasn't too particular, wearing only a simple black short-sleeved T-shirt and dark blue beach shorts.

When he finished changing his clothes and came to the rest area, Sakura and Tomoyo also came out.

Sakura was wearing a pink and white one-piece swimsuit with small strawberry patterns printed on it.

Tomoyo opted for a light purple two-piece swimsuit. The top was a simple halter style, and the bottom was a high-waisted shorts design. The cutout details at the waist perfectly accentuated her slender waist.

Ye Hui looked at Zhi Shi and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Tomoyo-chan even has such good taste when choosing a swimsuit.

And most importantly, she can still bring out such a unique charm in such a simple style.

"Which one should we go on first?" Sakura stood in the center of the rest area, looking at the dazzling array of amusement facilities in the distance, tilting her head in slight distress.

With so many options to choose from, she didn't know which one to play first.

However, this hesitation didn't last long. She quickly clenched her fist and said, "Let's go play on that super long water slide first! I saw it when we came in; it's in that tower over there, and it looks like it's super fun!"

"That waterslide looks really high, Sakura, are you sure you want to go? I just looked at it, and it seems like you have to climb a very tall staircase, and it'll be really fast when you slide down. Won't it be scary?" Tomoyo looked in the direction Sakura was pointing and gazed at the towering tower.

"Of course! The more exciting it is, the more fun it is! And with Ye Hui-jun... no, with us all together, it's definitely not scary!" Sakura looked eager to try it out, not scared at all, but even more excited.

"Alright then, I'll come along too." Tomoyo nodded.

"Ye Hui-kun, do you want to come along? It's more fun to play with more people!" Sakura turned her head and looked at Ye Hui, who was sitting on a recliner in the rest area.

"I won't go, you guys go have fun." Ye Hui shook his head. "I'll watch your things here and save you a resting spot so you can come back and relax when you're tired."

"Okay then." Sakura was a little disappointed, her lips drooping slightly, but she quickly smiled again, grabbed Tomoyo's hand, and ran towards the water slide. "Tomoyo, let's hurry! Let's try to be the first to ride it!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +5]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +4】

Hmm, Tomoyo's emotional state...

Ye Hui found a deck chair, sat down, and leisurely watched them.

Kero peeked out from Sakura's backpack, took a deep sniff, and his little eyes lit up instantly: "Mmm...it smells so good! It's the smell of grilled sausage! And the aroma of popcorn!"

As it spoke, it flapped its little wings, preparing to fly towards the fragrant food area not far away.

Ye Hui reacted quickly, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck and lifting it up: "Where do you think you're going? Xiaoying entrusted you to my care, I can't let you run around."

"Hey! You brat! What are you doing! Let go of me! I just went to take a look! I'm not stealing any food!" Xiao Ke flapped its wings wildly in the air, glaring at Ye Hui with a furious expression, and even tried to scratch his hand.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

Ye Hui was too lazy to argue with it, so he simply placed it on the recliner next to him and weighed its body down with a small cushion.

"Stay put and wait for Sakura to come back. She might bring you some food. If you dare to run around, don't even think about coming out to play with me next time."

Xiao Ke was pinned down by a pillow and couldn't move. She could only whimper a few times in grievance, but her eyes were still fixed on the direction of the food section, and a trace of drool unconsciously trickled from the corner of her mouth.

“Behave yourself. If the staff or other tourists find out you can talk, I’ll throw you into the pool next to us and make you drink other people’s foot bath water.”

Ye Hui looked at Xiao Ke's eager expression and said slowly.

"How dare you! I am the guardian beast of the Clow Cards, you can't treat me like this!" Kero bristled, baring his teeth and glaring at Ye Hui, his claws still pawing wildly at the recliner.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +10]

"See if I dare." Ye Hui said, reaching out to lift Xiao Ke up, and making a move to walk towards the sparkling swimming pool next to him, though he took a very slow step.

"Please, I'm sorry! I'll never do it again! I'll stay put and never run away!" Xiao Ke instantly cowered, her previous arrogance vanished without a trace, her little wings were pressed tightly against her sides, and she never mentioned going to the food area again.

It looked at Ye Hui pitifully, its little head drooping slightly: "But I'm really hungry... I haven't eaten anything since this morning, and my stomach is rumbling."

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

Looking at its tearful appearance, Ye Hui secretly found it amusing.

Haji could serve as the mascot for the Clow Cards; aside from anything else, he's quite competent at being cute.

It seems there's no need to worry about it losing its job in the future. Just by being cute, it can thrive around Sakura.

He stopped teasing Xiao Ke, put it back on the recliner, and casually took out a sausage nurtured with spiritual energy from his storage ring.

This sausage is a bit thicker than a regular sausage, with a glistening oily surface and an enticing meaty aroma.

Ye Hui handed the sausage to Xiao Ke: "Eat up, this sausage is enough to fill your stomach. Once you've eaten, behave yourself and don't try to run around anymore."

"Mmm! Delicious!" Xiao Ke's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately forgot her grievances. She hugged the sausage, which was thicker than her body, and began to gnaw on it with her little paws. The oil dripped down the corners of her mouth as she ate with great relish.

at this time.

A sharp scream suddenly came from the direction of the water slide not far away: "Wow! It's so fast!"

Ye Hui looked up at the sound and saw Xiaoying sitting on the float of the water slide, sliding down the highest platform at high speed.

Her hair was blown back by the wind, her face was full of excited smiles, and her screams contained no fear, only exhilaration.

With a loud "splash," the float fell into the pool below, splashing up a large spray of white water that completely engulfed Sakura.

Immediately afterwards, Tomoyo also slid down in the float, at a slightly slower speed than Sakura.

Her face showed a hint of nervousness, but also excitement. After falling into the water, she steadily stood up from the float, shook the water droplets off her hair, looked in Sakura's direction, and smiled.

"Ye Hui-jun, aren't you going to come down and play? This water slide is so much fun! When you slide down it, the wind blows past your ears, it's so exciting!" Xiaoying popped her head out of the water, wiped the water droplets off her face, and shouted loudly to the rest area where Ye Hui was.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Tomoyo also stood up from the water and walked over to Sakura: "Yeah, Ye Hui-kun, let's play together. The pool water temperature is just right, not too cold or too hot. It's not scary at all when you slide down, it's actually very relaxing."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

Ye Hui smiled and shook his head, waving at them: "You guys have fun, I'll stay here and watch the things, and wait for you to come back and rest when you're tired."

Seeing this, Sakura and Tomoyo stopped trying to dissuade them and went on the water slide together twice more.

Only when she felt a little tired of it did she get out of the pool, dry herself off, and sit on the recliner next to Ye Hui to rest.

Before long, Sakura's gaze was drawn to the wave pool not far away.

There, simulated ocean waves were surging, and many tourists were bobbing up and down with the waves. Some even tried surfing with surfboards, creating a lively scene.

"Tomoyo, let's go play in that wave pool! Look how many people are in there, it looks so exciting! I've never played in a wave pool before!" Sakura said, pointing to the wave pool.

“Okay, I was just thinking of giving it a try.” Tomoyo nodded.

As she spoke, Tomoyo took out a small waterproof camera from her backpack.

This was specially prepared by her for this trip to the water park; the camera is lightweight and can even go deep underwater to shoot.

She skillfully checked the camera's status to ensure it was working properly, then held it up with a familiar, excited smile on her face, like that of a "top-tier fan site admin."

"I'm going to record all of Sakura's heroic figure playing in the waves and your adorable way of being pushed along by the waves, and make it into a compilation!"

"Tomoyo! Don't take pictures of me looking so disheveled!" Sakura stamped her foot a little shyly, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't actually stop Tomoyo.

"Ye Hui-kun, we're going to the wave pool! Aren't you coming? The wave pool looks really fun!" Before leaving, Sakura didn't forget to look back at Ye Hui.

"Go on, go on, be careful, don't get swept away by the waves and fall." Ye Hui waved his hand.

Xiao Ke, clutching the leftover sausage scraps, watched the two run off in the distance, muttering, "What's so fun about the wave pool? Sausages are much better..."
