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

Chapter 194 Butterfly? Dream Card!
"As for stickers... this little wing would be really cute if I put it on Sakura's back." Tomoyo said as she tapped the screen, selecting stickers with her finger. She also picked out a matching cloud sticker for herself and Ye Hui and placed them next to each other to make the three of them look more harmonious.

Li Meiling chose a bunch of strange stickers, including funny mustache stickers, exaggerated glasses stickers, and colorful star stickers.

She simply plastered the entire area of ​​Li Xiaolang's photo with it, covering his face completely, to the point that his original expression was almost unrecognizable.

Li Xiaolang leaned closer to look at his reflection on the screen, which was covered in stickers. A vein on his forehead throbbed involuntarily, and he clenched his fist slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just sighed silently and turned his head away.

Soon, the decorated photo booth pictures were printed out of the machine, five copies in total, still carrying a faint smell of ink.

"These photos are so beautiful!" Sakura picked up her own photo booth and looked at the pictures with delight.

In the photo, she is huddled together intimately with Tomoyo and Ye Hui.

The background is a carefully selected cherry blossom backdrop, and the body is decorated with cute little wings and star stickers.

"Yes, it's very memorable." Tomoyo looked at the photo booth picture in her hand and carefully put it into her storage ring.

"My skills are just that good! The stickers I chose are so creative!" Li Meiling proudly waved her photo booth picture in front of Li Xiaolang.

In the photo, she is forcibly pulling Li Xiaolang to make a heart shape with his hands.

Although Li Xiaolang's expression was still somewhat stiff, his cheeks had a suspicious red tinge, and he didn't seem as resistant as he appeared.

Li Xiaolang snatched the photo from her hand, glanced at it quickly, his ears instantly turning red, and then shoved it into his pocket, muttering, "Who wants to make a heart shape with you... This photo is awful..."

Ye Hui also picked up his photo booth picture, looked at the picture of himself with Tomoyo and Sakura, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

He put the photo booth pictures away.

This is a photo of him with them.

[You have used every trick in the book to carefully preserve the soul imprints of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity. These will be crucial evidence to blackmail them in the future!]

Ye Hui looked at the photo booth pictures in the system space and his lips twitched.

He now basically stores important things in the system space, so they can't be lost no matter what.

Items that are frequently used or less important can be put into the storage ring.

It's easier to search separately.

"We've finished taking photos, where are we going next?" Sakura put her photo booth pictures into the side pocket of her backpack, looked up at everyone with expectant eyes, clearly still not done playing.

"Hmm, but it seems like there's nothing fun around here. I've already visited most of the shops we just passed." Li Meiling stroked her chin, looking around with some distress.

"How about we go sit in the central square for a while?" Tomoyo suggested, looking in the distance. "The weather is so nice today, and the sun isn't too bright. It should be very comfortable to bask in the sun and feel the breeze in the square."

"Great! There's a musical fountain in the central square. Maybe we'll catch a performance when we get there!" Sakura immediately nodded in agreement.

So Ye Hui and the others packed their things and headed towards the central square.

The central square is one of the liveliest places in Tomoeda Town.

Even on weekdays, there are quite a few pedestrians.

Today, there were many parents taking walks with their children, elderly people chatting together, and young people sitting on benches reading books.

A circular musical fountain stands in the center of the square, surrounded by colorful flowers and tall camphor trees, creating a lush and verdant atmosphere with a faint floral fragrance in the air.

Just as Ye Hui and his group reached the edge of the square, the musical fountain began its performance. As the lively music started, water jets gushed out from the fountain nozzles, sometimes high and sometimes low, accompanied by colorful lights. Although not very noticeable during the day, they could reflect a faint halo in the sunlight, attracting many people around to stop and watch.

“There are pigeons over there!” Li Meiling suddenly pointed to the lawn not far away.

A flock of grey and white pigeons were leisurely strolling and pecking at the grass, not afraid of people at all. Occasionally, a few would even flap their wings and fly over to the pedestrians, quite docile.

Beside the lawn, several children in school uniforms were squatting on the ground, feeding pigeons with cookie crumbs.

“Let’s go feed the pigeons! I haven’t fed them in ages!” Li Meiling said, and eagerly grabbed Li Xiaolang’s wrist, running towards the lawn.

"Slow down! Don't fall like before!" Li Xiaolang stumbled as she pulled him, and quickly steadied himself. He reminded her while still following her lead, afraid that she would really fall.

Of course, I'm also afraid of falling again.

"Ye Hui-kun, aren't we going?" Sakura turned around and looked at Ye Hui, who was sitting on the bench.

"You guys go ahead, I'll wait for you here. I can rest for a bit," Ye Hui said with a smile, pointing to the empty seat next to him.

After wandering around for most of the day, he wanted to take the opportunity to sit down and see the lively scene in the square.

Also, he didn't particularly like pigeons, so he was too lazy to feed them.

"Alright then, we'll be right back!" Sakura nodded and ran towards the lawn, not forgetting to turn back and wave to Ye Hui.

Tomoyo followed closely behind, carrying a camera, with the lens always pointed at Sakura and Li Meiling, to record Sakura feeding the pigeons.

Ye Hui sat on a bench, watching two girls chasing pigeons on the lawn.

Sakura placed the cookie crumbs in her palm, raised her arm, and waited for the pigeons to come and peck at them.

Li Meiling, meanwhile, was teasing the pigeons with cookies, occasionally letting out a hearty laugh.

Li Xiaolang stood aside, not participating much, but he didn't leave either, just watching silently.

Mmm, that's great.

As Ye Hui thought to himself, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his gaze softened.

Just then, the image on the huge electronic screen in the center of the square suddenly changed. The screen went dark, and then a faint glow appeared in the center of the screen.

Soon, the second point, the third point...

More and more fluorescent lights lit up on the screen, slowly gathering together and transforming into colorful butterflies.

Red, blue, and purple, with shimmering wings, they looked like real butterflies fluttering their wings.

These butterflies danced gracefully on the screen, sometimes clustering together, sometimes scattering, their movements so light that everyone around stopped and looked up to watch.

Sakura and her friends also stopped chasing the pigeons and stood still, looking up at the screen.

"Is this an advertisement? It's actually quite well done, much more interesting than those usual product ads," Li Meiling commented, stroking her chin.

As the butterflies on the screen gradually faded away, they reluctantly left the lawn and headed towards Ye Hui's direction.

"Where do we go next? After feeding the pigeons, it seems like there's nothing else to do." Xiaoying sat lazily on the bench next to Ye Hui.

Perhaps it was because I was in the sun, but I felt much more relaxed.

"How about we go see a movie? There's a movie I really want to see right now!" Li Meiling suggested again.

"What movie? Are there any good new movies showing recently?" Tomoyo asked curiously.

"It's a newly released romance film called 'Coral Sea.' I saw it has a super high rating. Many people say the plot is very touching, and the visuals are especially beautiful. Many people cried after watching it!" Li Meiling introduced enthusiastically, and even took out her phone to show everyone the movie poster, speaking with great enthusiasm, "Look, isn't the poster super beautiful? The main actors are also very famous actors—although I haven't heard of them."

"A romance movie?" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

She rarely watches these kinds of movies, but it sounded quite interesting.

"Yeah, yeah! It's the kind of story where the male and female leads might have misunderstandings at the beginning, but then they go through a lot of difficulties together, like a long-distance relationship and family opposition, and finally resolve their misunderstandings and live happily ever after!" Li Meiling chuckled.
"Okay, I want to go!" Sakura raised her hand, then looked at the people around her, "What do you all think? Do you want to go?"

“It does sound really good,” Tomoyo gently agreed. “If Sakura wants to go, I’d be happy to go with her. I can use the camera to record Sakura’s emotional reaction while watching the movie; I think that would be incredibly cute.”

Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "Since Sakura and Tomoyo both want to go, let's go and see."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Xiaolang, who was still hesitating, and deliberately asked, "Li, right now, there are me, Sakura, and Tomoyo who want to go to the movies. If you include Meiling who actively suggested it, it's already four to one. According to the principle of majority rule, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Li Xiaolang opened his mouth, but seeing Li Meiling's stern look that seemed to say "You dare say one and then try it," he swallowed back the words he was about to say and nodded in agreement.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +8]

Oh~

Does this allow me to increase my emotional value?
"Great! Let's go see 'Coral Sea'!" Sakura stood up immediately when she saw that Li Xiaolang had agreed.

"Come on, come on! The movie theater is nearby, just two blocks away. I'll take you there!" Li Meiling said, grabbing Xiaoying's wrist and running ahead, not forgetting to wave back to the others, "Hurry up and keep up, don't fall behind!"

"Slow down!" Li Xiaolang sighed helplessly and quickly followed behind them.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi walked at the back, side by side, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones.

Tomoyo watched Sakura and Meiling skipping and frolicking in front of her, and sighed softly, "It seems like Meiling and Sakura's relationship is getting better and better. At first, they were just ordinary classmates, but now they can play together like good friends."

Ye Hui followed her gaze and nodded: "Yes, both of them have a lively and cheerful side to their personalities, and they both like to be in a lively atmosphere, so it's normal that they can get along well. Moreover, Xiaoying is simple-minded, and although Meiling is a bit impulsive at times, she is very straightforward. There is no barrier between the two of them when they get along."

"When the two of them are together, I always feel like the whole world becomes more lively," Tomoyo said, unable to help but laugh.

"Yes, that's true." Ye Hui wholeheartedly agreed.

Especially Li Meiling, she's practically a walking megaphone.

But wherever she goes, she can liven up the atmosphere; there's never a dull moment when she's around.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards the movie theater, the sunlight warm and comforting them.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Just as they were about to reach the intersection near the movie theater, Sakura suddenly heard Kero's urgent voice coming from her backpack.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ke's head peeked out from the gap in the backpack zipper, her bright little eyes staring excitedly at an arcade on the side of the road.

Its gaze was fixed on a whack-a-mole game machine placed at the entrance of the arcade.

The machine was brightly colored, with cartoon mole patterns painted on its body. The screen was lit up, and you could hear the tinkling sound effects of games coming from inside.

"That game machine looks so fun! It's like the whack-a-mole game on TV! I've always wanted to try it!" Xiao Ke stretched out her little paw and pointed at the whack-a-mole machine.

"Whack-a-Mole?" Sakura looked in the direction Kero pointed and sure enough, she saw the brightly colored whack-a-mole game machine.

Unlike ordinary game consoles, it is a circular platform about half the height of a person. There are about a dozen fist-sized holes evenly distributed around the edge of the platform. There is enough space for one person to stand in the center of the platform. There are also two orange inflatable hammers next to it. The hammer heads are round and look soft and elastic.

The screen is playing a game demo on a loop. The player stands in the center, holding an inflatable hammer. When a mole randomly pops out of its hole, the player quickly hits it. Each hit results in a score notification and a cute sound effect.

"You want to play this? But..." Sakura looked at the occasional passersby near the game console and couldn't help but show a troubled expression. Letting Keke play a game in front of so many people was too risky.

"Just once! Really, just once!" Xiao Ke immediately started to whine, her voice softening. She gently rubbed her fluffy little head against Xiao Ying's hand, her big, round eyes looking at her pitifully as she pleaded, "Xiao Ying, please, I really want to play! Look how big that inflatable hammer is, it'll be so much fun to hit it! I promise I'll only play one round, I won't let it interfere with your movie!"

"No way, someone will see us!" Sakura finally refused. "There are people coming and going here. What if someone sees that you can talk and play games by yourself?"

She knew all too well how conspicuous Xiao Ke was.

Once exposed, it could attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

"I don't care! I don't care! I just want to play!" Seeing that her whining was useless, Xiao immediately started throwing a tantrum in the backpack, flapping her little wings and making Xiaoying's bright yellow backpack sway left and right.

"Kero! Stop messing around, or I'll really get angry!" Sakura was exasperated by it and reached out to hold down the shaking backpack.

Xiao Ke: (T_T) Waaaaah, you're mean to me...

"You actually yelled at me just because I can't play games..." Xiao Ke's voice suddenly became aggrieved, with a thick nasal tone, as if she was about to cry. "I work so hard to protect the Clow Cards, and I eat so much every day to replenish my energy to store up magic power. Now I just want to play a little game, and you won't even let me. What's the point of my life..."

Sakura:?
"..."

She opened her mouth.

Ye Hui stood to the side, silently rubbing his forehead.

Xiao Ke, do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Protect the Clow Cards?
It seems like it's always just me and Sakura putting in the effort, right?
Why make so many things just to store magic power?

Hehehehehe.
They're getting more and more skilled at distorting the truth.

Whenever Kero tries to do something, it starts playing the victim as soon as Sakura refuses.

But Sakura always falls for it.

Seeing Kero's pitiful look, Sakura's heart softened instantly.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Sakura sighed, "Well... okay then, let's play it once."

"Yay! Sakura, you're the best!" Kero's mood instantly brightened, and she excitedly thrashed around in her backpack.

Ye Hui shook his head helplessly as he watched this scene.

When will Sakura ever get rid of this soft-hearted habit?

I always get fooled by Xiao Ke's little tricks.

"But how can I avoid being discovered?" Sakura started to worry again.

Xiao Ke also turned her head, her eyes darting around, and her gaze fell on Ye Hui.

It flapped its little wings and flew out from the gap in the backpack, patted his clothes with its little paws, chuckled, then rubbed its little paws together and said ingratiatingly, "Ye Hui, good brother, can you do me a favor? You must have a way to let me play games without anyone finding out, right?"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +10]

"I'm not your brother." Ye Hui glanced at it, somewhat disdainfully.

Ye Hui guessed what Xiao Ke was planning.

This guy had been eyeing his invisibility charm for a while now.

"Oh, don't be so stingy! We're all friends, really good friends~ It's only right to help each other out!" Xiao Ke flattered her.

"So, can I borrow one of your invisibility talismans? Just one, I'll definitely return it to you after I'm done... no, I'll ask you for it again after I'm done!" it said, rubbing its hands together.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +10]

Ye Hui chuckled inwardly at its impatient manner.

"Yes, I do, but are you sure you want to use it?" He raised his hand and slowly stroked his chin.

"Of course! Give me one quickly! With an invisibility talisman, no one can see me, and I can play whack-a-mole in peace!" Xiao Ke said impatiently.

Ye Hui shrugged, took out an invisibility talisman from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke snatched the talisman, skillfully stuck it on himself, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"That's great! No one can see me now. Let's go play! Maybe someone will come to play if we wait any longer!" Xiao Ke's voice came from the air, urging everyone to hurry to the game machine.

"Wait a minute!" Just as everyone was about to leave, Sakura suddenly spoke up, thinking of a crucial question.

She looked up in the direction from which Xiao Ke's voice came and said seriously, "Even if others can't see you, the whack-a-mole hammer will move by itself, and the moles will be knocked down by themselves. Wouldn't that be even stranger? If everyone sees the floating hammer moving, they'll definitely think it's haunted, and that will only cause more trouble!"

Xiao Ke froze instantly, and the sounds in the air stopped too.

It was so focused on becoming invisible that it completely forgot about the fact that the hammer could also move!
Now, after being reminded by Sakura, it realized how many flaws its plan had.

"What are we going to do?" Xiao Ke said dejectedly. "I finally managed to convince that brat Ye Hui to lend me his invisibility talisman so I could play. Is it all going to fall through like this? I really want to play whack-a-mole..."

A few seconds later, it started acting up again: "I don't care! I'm going to play whack-a-mole today! I just want to play!"

"Sakura, come play with me! You pretend to be holding the hammer, and if we work together, we'll definitely get first place! That way, everyone will just think you're playing around, and no one will find it strange!"

"Me?" Sakura pointed to herself, a look of uncertainty on her face, her eyes filled with hesitation. "But I've never played whack-a-mole before, I don't know if I can do it well..."

"Oh, you can definitely do it, Sakura, you're the best! How fast were your reactions when you fought the Clow Cards last time! Playing whack-a-mole is a piece of cake for you! If the two of us team up, we'll be invincible, no one can play better than us!" Kero started showering Sakura with sweet talk, making Sakura a little embarrassed by the praise.

“But…” Sakura was still a little hesitant and wanted to think about it some more.

"No buts, let's go! If we don't go now, someone will really come! Then we won't have a chance to play anymore!" Xiao Ke said, pushing Xiao Ying's back.

"Hey, stop pushing!" Sakura had no choice but to follow its force and walk forward, calling out to the others behind her, "Let's go."

[You watch as Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, is bewitched by the spirit beast Keroberos, and your heart is filled with vigilance! Such bewitching magic is impossible to guard against!] Is there some misunderstanding about the word "bewitching"?
This is clearly just a child throwing a tantrum, okay?

Oh no... even more shameless than a child.

Xiao Ke, you should just accept the title of mascot.

"Hello, how do I play this game?" Li Meiling walked to the game machine and asked the staff member standing next to her.

A staff member enthusiastically stepped forward and pointed to the game machine, introducing it as follows: "This is our store's latest motion-sensing whack-a-mole machine. One coin allows you to play for three minutes."

"After the game starts, moles will randomly pop out of the surrounding holes. You need to use the inflatable hammer next to you to hit them. The more moles you hit within the time limit, the higher your score."

"By the way, if you can break our store's record, you can also win a mystery grand prize!"

"A mystery grand prize? What is it? Can you give us a sneak peek?" Li Meiling's curiosity was piqued.

"This will have to be kept secret for now. Once you have enough points, you'll find out. I promise you won't be disappointed!" The staff member smiled and kept it a secret, not saying anything more.

Unable to get an answer, Li Meiling turned around and excitedly said to Li Xiaolang behind her, "Xiaolang, let's have a competition! Let's see who can hit the most moles and get the highest score in three minutes. The loser buys milk tea, how about it?"

"I'm not interested." Li Xiaolang turned his head away, his gaze fixed on the distant street, his tone indifferent.

Whack-a-Mole?
This is really a game for kids.

He had absolutely no interest in it.

"Oh, come on, let's play! Just one game, it won't take long! Even if you lose, it's no big deal, it's just buying you a milk tea!" Li Meiling tugged at his arm and said coquettishly.

"I told you I'm not interested!" Li Xiaolang shook off her hand.

"Hmph, how can you be so boring! When you come out to have fun, you should be happy. Why are you always frowning? We don't owe you any money!" Li Meiling was also a little angry.

Just as the two of them were at loggerheads.

Sakura had already paid and picked up an orange inflatable hammer from the side, giving it a light heft.

The hammer is very light and feels comfortable to hold.

She took a deep breath, walked to the center of the circular platform, stood still, feeling both nervous and expectant.

"Sakura, do your best! I'll be recording you from the side, and we can watch it later!" Tomoyo held up the camera, aimed it at Sakura, adjusted the angle, and encouraged her with excitement on her face.

"Sakura! Left! The third hole on the left, the gopher is coming out! Follow me and smash it!" Kero's voice rang in Sakura's ears.

Although it had concealed itself, its eyes remained fixed on the surrounding burrows, afraid of missing the moment when the gopher would peek out.

"Oh! Okay!" Sakura quickly reacted, turned around, gripped the hammer with both hands, and, following Kero's strength, slammed it down hard.

"boom!"

The inflatable hammer slammed onto the platform with a dull thud, and the gopher that had just poked its head out instantly retreated.

A message popping up on the screen reads "+10 points".

"You hit it!" Sakura's eyes crinkled with joy.

"Next! Behind you! The second hole on the right, turn around quickly!" Xiao Ke's voice rang out again.

"Oh! Here it comes!" Sakura didn't dare to delay. She turned around hurriedly, her eyes fixed on the second hole on the right. As soon as the mole popped out, she swung the hammer down with the help of Kero.

"boom!"

Another smacked sound, and the mole was hit again, increasing the score on the screen by another 10 points.

Under Keroberos's guidance, Sakura gradually got into the zone.

Although the movements were a bit clumsy at first, the speed of turning and swinging the hammer was a bit slow.

But as the game progressed, her reactions became faster and her movements became more and more skillful. She could even reverse Xiao Ke's movements and hit her with an unusually high accuracy, hitting the moles that popped up almost every time.

A crowd quickly gathered around to watch, including passersby and other customers in the arcade. Everyone was drawn to Sakura's excellent score and stopped to watch.

"This little girl is really amazing! She always manages to find a spot, it's like she knows in advance!" a girl in casual clothes couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yeah, it's like she has eyes in the back of her head. Her reaction speed is too fast. I definitely couldn't do it. I would have been completely flustered by now!" The boy next to her chimed in.

"This speed is too fast! Look at the score on the screen, it's almost catching up with the previous record!" Someone else noticed the score on the screen and couldn't help but exclaim.

When Sakura heard the praise from those around her, her cheeks instantly flushed. She lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help but speed up her movements.

"First place! We can definitely get first place! Sakura, keep it up, it's almost time!" Kero's voice was excited, and he gave instructions even faster.

Three minutes passed quickly.

The final timer chimed.

The screen froze on Sakura's final score.

350 points!
That's a full 20 points higher than the previous record!
"We won! We broke the record! We're amazing!" Xiao Ke excitedly spun around in the air.

"That's great, Sakura!" Tomoyo put down the camera and quickly walked to Sakura's side.

The staff member who had explained the rules earlier came over, holding a beautifully packaged box, and handed it to Xiaoying with a smile: "Congratulations, little student, this is the prize for breaking the record, please accept it!"

"Thank you!" Sakura quickly took the box.

Sakura opened the packaging.

The box was lined with soft white cotton paper, and in the middle of the paper was a penguin plush toy that was about 20 centimeters tall.

The penguin is wearing a blue sailor suit and a small sailor hat. Its eyes are black buttons, and it looks round and cute.

"It's a penguin plush toy, so cute!" Sakura gently picked up the plush toy and rubbed it against her cheek. The plush toy's fur was very soft and felt very comfortable to the touch.

"Kinomoto, you broke the record!" Li Meiling quickly walked to Sakura's side. "This penguin plushie is so cute! I want one too! I wish I had played with it myself first!"

"Hehe, actually it wasn't all my doing, Keke did a great job too." Sakura scratched her head a little shyly.

If Xiao Ke hadn't warned her about the mole's location beforehand, she wouldn't have been able to get such a high score.

Li Meiling turned her head and looked at Li Xiaolang beside her with high spirits: "Xiaolang! Let's play whack-a-mole too! I want to break the record and get that penguin plushie! You come with me, let's see who can play better!"

Seeing her eager expression, Li Xiaolang subconsciously took a step back: "I told you I'm not interested, this kind of game is too childish."

"Come on, come on! Just one game, consider it playing with me! It won't take up much of your time!" Li Meiling persisted, grabbing Li Xiaolang's arm.

"I don't want to!" Li Xiaolang tried to shake off her hand.

"If you don't play with me, I'll print out dozens of photos of you wearing pink heart-shaped sunglasses at the photo booth and plaster them all over the telephone poles and bulletin boards in the entire Tomoeda Town, so everyone can see how cute you are!" When soft tactics failed, Li Meiling resorted to her ultimate move.

???

Li Xiaolang's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his lips twitched a few times, and his eyes were filled with anger and helplessness.

He never expected that Li Meiling would threaten him in this way!

Ye Hui, standing to the side, almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Meiling, your way of threatening people is truly unique.

They directly exploited Li Xiaolang's weakness.

Ultimately, under Li Meiling's coercion and enticement...

Li Xiaolang was reluctantly dragged to the whack-a-mole machine.

Although he frowned the whole time and his movements were a bit stiff, he still played seriously for three minutes.

Unfortunately, they failed to break the record and only received a small rabbit keychain.

This made his complexion even worse.

After Li Meiling had had her fill of fun.

Ye Hui and the others continued walking towards the movie theater.

As I passed by a park, a gentle breeze blew by, and a butterfly flew out from the flowers deep within the park.

It was a blue butterfly with a faint fluorescent glow on its wings. It flew very slowly, hovering leisurely in the air as if it were taking a leisurely stroll, not in a hurry at all. It quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh? What a beautiful butterfly! Its blue wings even glow! I've never seen a butterfly like this before!" Sakura stopped in her tracks, somewhat surprised, and couldn't help but reach out her hand, wanting the butterfly to land on her fingertips.

Ye Hui looked at the butterfly, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Isn't this the Dream Card?

He recognized it at a glance.

This is not an ordinary butterfly at all; it is the Dream card from the Clow Cards.

[You, along with Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo, the genius disciple Li Xiaolang, and the body-cultivating girl Li Meiling, have come to the mortal realm to search for the whereabouts of the lost treasure of the Immortal Talisman Sect, the "Nightmare Pearl"...]

The Nightmare Pearl, nurtured by the Immortal Talisman Sect for a thousand years, had long since developed its own consciousness. Unwilling to continue its dull, restrictive life, it secretly escaped from the Immortal Talisman Sect...

To escape the pursuit of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, the Nightmare Bead severely injured Kinomoto Sakura during their escape. Daidouji Tomoyo was frantic! Looking at the unconscious Kinomoto Sakura, she vowed that she would pay any price to save her…

[You have refreshed the Bond questline – "Nightmare Town"!]

Any cost
Cough!

The butterfly fluttered its fluorescent wings and slowly flew to Sakura, circling her head once, seemingly quite interested in her.

But then it flew off toward Tomoyo.

At this moment, Tomoyo was holding a camera, intently filming the butterfly, the lens closely following its flight path, afraid of missing any detail.

When the butterfly flew directly in front of the camera, the fluorescence on its wings suddenly flickered, and a faint light shone through the lens onto Tomoyo's face.

Tomoyo's body trembled slightly, and she almost dropped the camera in her hand.

"Chiyo?" Upon seeing this, Ye Hui reached out and supported Chiyo's arm.

"I'm fine." Tomoyo shook her head.

She looked down at the camera's viewfinder, her purple eyes filled with confusion.

Just now, when the fluorescent light from the butterfly's wings flashed across the camera lens, she seemed to see a series of blurry yet clear images.

The scene features many, many Sakura characters, each wearing a different battle suit designed by her.

Some were pink and white sailor dresses, some were tulle skirts with lace trim, and others were short, fitted outfits that allowed for easy movement.

But every Sakura poses in a different cute way in front of the camera, with a bright smile.

Ye Hui stood beside Xiao Ying, a gentle smile on his lips and a doting look in his eyes.

The two of them even faced the camera together, waving at her and calling her name repeatedly.

"Tomoyo!"

"Tomoyo, come take a picture of us!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

The images were so beautiful that her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Tomoyo, are you really okay? You look a little off." Sakura quickly walked to her side, looking at her with concern.

"I'm really fine. Maybe...maybe the sunlight was a bit too bright and my eyes were blurry." Tomoyo came to her senses, smiled gently at Sakura, concealing her earlier unease, and rubbed her eyes.

When she looked at the viewfinder again, the blue butterfly fluttered its wings and slowly flew to Sakura, its wings flashing with fluorescent light.

Sakura looked at the beautiful and gentle butterfly, and carefully stretched out her right hand, her fingertips slightly bent.

Just as Sakura's fingertips were about to touch the butterfly's wings, the butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, and a faint glow landed on her fingertips.

Sakura let out a soft groan involuntarily, her eyes instantly becoming dazed, and her body lost all strength, causing her to slump backward.

"Sakura!"

Tomoyo, who was closest to her, immediately cried out in alarm and almost instinctively reached out to support Sakura, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Ye Hui reacted extremely quickly. At the same time that Xiao Ying fainted, he used the power of Zhou Tian Xu Yuan to form a transparent barrier, trapping the blue butterfly inside.

He didn't attack immediately, but instead controlled the Dream Card first. As for the other matters, he could deal with them slowly after Sakura woke up.

"What happened to her? Why did she suddenly faint? She was fine just now!" Li Meiling looked at Sakura, who was being supported by Tomoyo and was unconscious. She stood there in a panic, not knowing what to do.

"It was that butterfly that did it!" Li Xiaolang's eyes sharpened instantly as he stared intently at the butterfly trapped by the barrier.

Ye Hui glanced at Xiaoying.

Her breathing was steady, and her complexion was rosy.

He is physically fine, but has fallen into a deep sleep.

After all, the power of the Dream Card is to trap people in a dream.

"Don't worry about Tomoyo, Sakura is fine. She was just affected by the Clow Cards' power and fell into a deep sleep," Ye Hui reassured her.

Hearing Ye Hui's words, Tomoyo finally felt a little relieved, and her hand supporting Sakura was no longer so stiff.

"Clow Cards? The butterfly?" Li Meiling paused for a moment, pointed to the butterfly trapped by the barrier, and looked puzzled.

"Hmm, it should be the Dream Card. Its ability is to trap people in dreams. Just now, Tomoyo must have been affected by it and saw some special images, right?" Ye Hui nodded, while secretly glancing at Tomoyo, feeling a little curious.

What did Tomoyo-chan just see that made her show such a gentle yet fluttering expression?
"So how can we wake Kinomoto up now? We can't just let her stay asleep like this, can we?" Li Meiling asked anxiously.

“The dream created by the Dream Card is difficult to regain consciousness unless an external force forcibly breaks the barrier, or the dreamer realizes they are in a dream and wakes up on their own,” Li Xiaolang said in a deep voice.

“Then let’s break the dream! It’s just a butterfly, right? I can knock it away with one punch and make it lose its power!” Li Meiling said, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to rush up and punch the trapped butterfly.

"Wait a minute." Ye Hui reached out to stop her and made up a story. "We can't force it. The Dream Card and Sakura's consciousness are connected now. If we forcibly attack the Dream Card, it may damage Sakura's consciousness or even cause her to fall into a deeper sleep, which would be more troublesome."

Well, there's actually some basis to that.

Ye Hui is not without the ability to subdue the Dream Card.

However, if we forcibly subdue her now, although it would solve the problem quickly, it would mean missing the opportunity for Sakura to grow.

Unlike other cards, the Dream Card offers a different kind of experience, where the trials and tribulations within dreams provide opportunities for Sakura to grow.

"So what do we do now?" Meiling asked.

"The core of the Dream Card lies in the dream itself. The best way is to enter her dream and guide her to realize that she is in a dream and actively break free from it. This way, the influence of the Dream Card can be removed without harming her."

"You mean you have a way to enter other people's dreams?" Li Xiaolang immediately looked at Ye Hui, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"of course."

Ye Hui smiled slightly and then nodded slightly.

He cultivated the path of immortality.
