This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"KC's five giants demanded that I make You Shuo lose in this competition before they would agree to further cooperation with me."

"So, if you defeat You Shuo Boy, you can challenge me too~"

"You don't have much time~"

"Let your adventure begin, Seahorse Boy!"

"I hope that when I see you in the castle next time, you'll be ready to challenge me."

Having said that, Pegasus gently swirled the wine in his glass and slowly walked away with elegant yet cold steps.

Looking at the guy's back, Seto Kaiba clenched his fists, unaffected by Pegasus's words.

Defeat You Shuo...

This is the fastest way!

He only needs one duel to win the conditions for entering the castle.

"Kuihei...wait for me, I will definitely come back as soon as possible!"

After glancing at the bewildered Kaiba Keihei, Seto Kaiba picked up his silver-white briefcase and strode out of the dungeon.

Duel Kingdom Island.

The dueling arena in the mountains.

It was past afternoon, and the sun's rays had become somewhat dim and glaring.

You Shuo sat on a large rock, with a stunningly beautiful woman in his arms—Kong Que Wu—who had cascading blonde hair and an enviable figure.

She fell asleep nestled in You Shuo's arms.

You Shuo could see the commotion within the commotion just by looking down.

"Is the drug Keith the thief really that potent?"

You Shuo couldn't help but say.

Since being drugged, Kong Quewu had been unconscious for about three or four hours.

Although You Shuo successfully dealt with those bastards, the thief Keith, using his elven power, they didn't have the antidote on them.

You Shuo could only wait for the Peacock Dance to wake up.

However, such behavior can certainly be considered as helping the female duelist.

As system rewards continued to be distributed, You Shuo's accumulated dark energy also increased.

Three or four hours should be enough time for him to start a dark game.

A gentle evening breeze rustled through the air...

Dusk is gradually approaching.

Finally, in her sleep, Peacock Dance slowly opened her bright and breathtaking eyes.

She yawned sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and stretched as she got up.

Suddenly, a question came to her mind.

"etc?!"

"When did I fall asleep?!"

"Shouldn't I be competing right now?!"

The peacock suddenly turned its head.

In that instant, she and You Shuo locked eyes at an extremely close distance.

Kong Quewu's face turned red instantly.

It was only then that she realized she had been lying in You Shuo's arms the whole time...

Chapter Fifty-Six: Spending the Night with the Peacock Dance

"N-Nani?!"

"What's going on?! How could this happen?!"

The usually proud and aloof Kong Quewu suddenly became like a frightened bird, sitting up with a flushed face, full of apology and shyness.

You Shuo got up and stretched his slightly sore arms and legs, and said with a faint smile, "That thief Keith tricked us, trying to drug us with a sleeping potion, but luckily I reacted in time and took them out."

Peacock Dance then gradually recalled everything that had happened before she fainted.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Originally, she wanted to help You Shuo, but she ended up becoming a burden instead.

You Shuo must have spent the entire afternoon protecting himself, and had no chance to compete.

Wouldn't the favors I owe just keep growing bigger?

Peacock Dance felt incredibly indebted and ashamed.

But for You Shuo, it didn't really matter.

His current Hextech boost grants him Dark Energy for every female duelist he helps.

Mai is a rare female duelist, and with Yu Shuo's strength, Star Chips are easy to obtain. Taking this opportunity to accumulate some Dark Energy is just right for later use against Pegasus and Bakura, who may make a move.

As dusk fell.

Kong Quewu didn't know what to do, so she took her supplies out of her backpack.

"You, You Shuo, I really don't know how to thank you for today."

"I brought a tent and food. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"I, I'll do it."

The peacock dance has rarely been so unrestrained.

You Shuo also brought enough supplies with him, but of course he didn't leave them all to Kong Quewu.

Helping with cooking is also part of his efforts to assist the female duelist, and he wouldn't pass up this good opportunity to accumulate dark energy!

You Shuo smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll go find some firewood and water."

"Okay." Kong Quewu has always been very independent and has a lot of experience with picnics.

After setting up the tent, the two began preparing dinner as dusk fell.

While Kong Quewu was packing up, You Shuo took a bucket and a wood-chopping knife and walked away into the distance.

Arriving at a grove of trees, he casually tossed his wood-chopping knife aside and said in his mind, "Help me, Ashley?"

The power of the card spirits was so great that You Shuo didn't bother to do it himself.

But upon hearing You Shuo's words, the card spirit tree spirit Ashley couldn't help but scoff: "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? You want a tree spirit to help you cut down trees?! I'm being lenient by not stopping you, okay?"

You Shuo was taken aback.

"Hahaha, that seems to be true."

"Then could you fetch me some water?"

Ashley was speechless.

Although You Shuo is a decent duelist and a reliable duelist, sometimes it's hard to tell if he's just careless or doing it on purpose.

Her long, golden hair swayed gently in the evening breeze. Activating the magic of the spirit spell, the river water became crystal clear and automatically flew into You Shuo's portable bucket…

You Shuo wasn't good at chopping wood, and it took him quite a while to gather enough for a decent amount.

While chopping wood, he paid attention to the status of the card sprite.

Now, Ashley's spirit power is surging more and more, but the Red-Eyes Black Dragon has been asleep ever since it was obtained, and it did not wake up even after winning a doubles duel.

You Shuo didn't know if it was because the dragon spirits' power was too great, so they needed more time to rest. In any case, there was no rush.

But just then, a loud shout rang out, as if a duel was taking place!

That sound was the peacock dance!

You Shuo's eyes flashed.

This……

Could it be that part of the plot?!

But shouldn't it be midnight in the original story?!

Why was it brought forward so much?

You Shuo immediately put down what he was holding and rushed towards the sound.

He wouldn't give up another opportunity to help Peacock Dance accumulate dark energy, and of course he wouldn't abandon this great beauty.

After passing through several groves of trees, You Shuo indeed saw that Mai Kongque was having a difficult duel with a rough man with a wicked grin on his face. Judging from the scene, Mai Kongque's Harpie was very passive, because all of the opponent's monsters were hidden in the darkness. No matter how high the attack power of Mai Kongque's monsters was, they could not launch an attack on their opponent.

"Tsk... Is it... that we're going to lose here...?" Kongque Wu gritted her teeth.

At this moment, You Shuo suddenly spoke up: "Since we can't attack the opponent, let the opponent attack us on its own initiative."

Kong Quewu was stunned, as if she had been enlightened.

The duelist hunter opposite him laughed mockingly, "Hahahaha! Where did this brat come from?!"

"My combo isn't so easily broken!!"

"I'll deal with you after I've dealt with her!!"

"Eh? Hehehe, aren't you the duelist for whom Lord Pegasus has placed a bounty?"

"In that case, I'd better speed up the duel!!"

"Hey, what are you dawdling for? If you don't know what to do, just end this round already!!"

Peacock Dance is a proud duelist who dislikes taking advice during duels, but in the current situation, it seems there are no other options besides the method You Shuo mentioned…

"That's the only way..." Kong Que Wu sneered, "Don't get too cocky~"

"Activate the Spell Card - Angel's Charity!!"

Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!

"Shuashuashua——"

Kong Que Wu's gaze sharpened as she drew the card that would reverse the situation.

"Set two cards face down, end of turn!!" Mai Kongque announced proudly.

The Duelist Hunter sneered, "Stop being so cocky! I only need to draw one more card to end this battle!"

"Hmph, there's no chance now~" Kong Quewu sneered.

"What?" The Duelist Hunter frowned.

"Activate Equip Card - Enchanting Shadow!!" Mai Kongju shouted, flipping open the card. "Equip this card to Harpie Girl. From now on, all of your opponent's male monsters must be changed to Attack Position, and if they can attack, they must attack the equipped monster!!"

"Because of that disgusting card of yours, I can't see any of your monsters!!"

"However, under the effect of the Enchanting Shadow, your monster will actively attack my Harpie Lady!!"

"Ridiculous!!" the Duelist Hunter said viciously, "You think I don't have an ace up my sleeve to defeat your monster?!"

"Even if I'm just one card short of victory, it's more than enough to defeat you, little girl!!"

"Entering battle phase!!"

"The Overlord of the Dark Realm!!"

"Attack the Harpie Girl!!!"

Peacock Dance's red lips curled into a smile: "This is the moment I've been waiting for. Activate the second Cyber ​​Bodysuit. This card will increase Harpie's attack power by 500!!"

"Also, there's this card—a trap card—Support Shot!!"

"If an opponent's monster attacks a monster you control, the attacked monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the other monster you control!!"

"What?!" The Duelist Hunter was shocked.

The combo created by several cards caused the harpy's attack power to soar to an incredibly terrifying level!
