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

Chapter 109 What should I do, Ye Zi?! You've gotten so big!
Zhi Shi's attitude is of paramount importance, as it determines whether he can obtain the Dao Yuan Gift Pack!
"System, immediately check Daidouji Tomoyo's current attitude points."

He didn't delay any longer and gave the order to the system.

[Checking the attitude points of the bond partner "Tomoyo Daidouji"...]

[Query complete! Daidouji Tomoyo's current attitude points: 30]

[Your spiritual bond with Tomoyo of Daidoji Temple has reached a new stage! The connection between you has been recognized by Heaven and Earth, and your spiritual affinity has become even stronger!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a "Daoist Fate Gift Pack" x1!]

The Dao Yuan Gift Pack is finally here!
Ye Hui was secretly delighted, and even the system's description sounded much better this time.

"Does the bond gain the approval of heaven and earth?"

That does sound like it fits the increasingly close relationship between him and Tomoyo.

Hehehe~!

[Do you want to open the "Daoist Affinity Gift Pack" immediately?]

"Yes!"

Ye Hui answered without hesitation, but he already had a guess in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be another cultivation technique for the Golden Core stage.

Sigh~ Can't there be some unexpected surprises?
But Ye Hui immediately changed his mind.

If I give him something else, he'll be unhappy again.

After all, he didn't know where in this world he could find a suitable Golden Core cultivation technique.
Therefore, there is no problem even if one practices classical texts.

Moreover, Ye Hui discovered that although the cultivation manuals at each stage were not entirely of the same origin.

However, when he cultivates, he doesn't feel any obstruction at all; on the contrary, his progress is even smoother!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment so quickly.

This actually puzzled him somewhat, since in those novels and TV series, if the protagonist wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and reach the Golden Core stage, it would take more than a million words.

Yet he was able to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment so quickly and naturally.

But Ye Hui had never actually seen anyone cultivate immortality before.

He could only conclude that he was by the side of the protagonist, Kinomoto Sakura, and was also blessed by the guardian deity, Daidouji Tomoyo.

A person can move so quickly only when they are completely enveloped in "love".

Of course, this love is not that kind of love, but a happy and relaxed atmosphere.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Golden Core stage cultivation manual—"The Supreme Unfettered Golden Core Path"!]

Hmm? The Supreme Golden Elixir of Forgetfulness?

Ye Hui's eyes widened.

He is now in the late Foundation Establishment stage, only two steps away from the Golden Core stage.

This manual is indeed timely, however...
He looked at the name of the cultivation manual and felt that something was not quite right.

The ultimate state of detachment from emotions?

What is this ghost?

"System, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Ye Hui's lips twitched, and he said suspiciously, "I'm on a mission to win Zhi Shi over and improve our relationship. You're giving me a copy of 'The Supreme Golden Elixir of Forgetfulness'? Do you want me to become a monk and completely sever my ties with her?"

Could this lousy system be deliberately trying to trick him?

[Note: The Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness and Golden Elixir is an ancient, unparalleled immortal technique, incomparable to ordinary Golden Elixir stage cultivation methods. Practicing this method allows one to see through the illusions of the mortal world, sever the shackles of the seven emotions and six desires, and reach a state of perfect tranquility, unmoved by external things. It is a shortcut directly to the origin of the Great Dao!]

Severing the seven emotions and six desires?

Feeling like still water?

Ye Hui frowned instantly.

What kind of nonsense is this system spouting?

Isn't that turning him into an emotionless cultivation machine?
Dah!

He didn't travel to this world to become an ascetic.

Shouldn't immortals be indulging in their desires and living freely?
You've severed all your emotions and desires!

Having a cute and innocent "friend" like Sakura.

Tomoyo is such a gentle and considerate "partner".

If he really cuts off his seven emotions and six desires, what fun would life have?

"System, I seriously suspect you're messing with me!"

Ye Hui said irritably, "I absolutely will not practice this technique. Give me another one!"

[Note: The rewards in the Dao Yuan Gift Pack are randomly generated and represent the highest quality reward for the current stage; they cannot be changed.]

"..." Ye Hui was completely speechless.

Okay, so you can't change it, right?
He wanted to see what was so special about this cultivation technique that the system had touted it as an "unparalleled immortal technique"!
He concentrated his mind and immersed himself in the cultivation manual in his mind, studying it carefully.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the "forgetfulness" mentioned in the cultivation method did not actually mean severing all emotions.

Rather, it is about reaching a state of being free from emotional constraints and desires without being misled.

simply put.

It means having a strong inner self, being able to rationally view all emotions, enjoy the warmth that emotions bring, and not let emotional fluctuations sway one's mind.

They will not become obsessed with love or angry with hate.

"So that's how it is..." Ye Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and the resistance in his heart finally dissipated a little.

Startled him.

I just saw the four characters "太上忘情" (Taishang Wangqing).

He thought the system was really going to make him shave his head and become a monk, severing all emotions.

Looking at it this way, this cultivation technique is not only fine, but it is also very suitable for his current situation!

After all, he has the soul of an adult, but lives in the body of an elementary school student.

She is surrounded by girls like Sakura and Tomoyo, who are both innocent and cute, mature and childish.

They also have to deal with various cultivation tasks in their daily lives.

Without strong willpower, one can easily be disturbed by external emotions or temptations, which in turn affects cultivation.

This technique, seemingly about "forgetting emotions," is actually teaching him to control his emotions; it's practically tailor-made for him!

Although the name is indeed a bit of a rip-off, the practicality of the content far exceeded expectations.

Put down the secret manuals and techniques.

Ye Hui also did not forget to study the new supernatural power he had just acquired, "Words Become Law".

He walked to the window, looked at a potted green ivy that he had been growing for a long time, and tentatively said, "You're growing very lushly, why don't you grow even more lushly?"

The voice just fell.

He noticed that the leaves of the potted green ivy seemed to be a little brighter than before.

A hint of new green still peeks through the edges of the leaves.

Although the effect is slight and almost imperceptible, there is indeed a change.

Ye Hui's eyes lit up.

This magical ability even works on plants?
Then, combined with the art of stimulating growth, it can be used to stimulate the growth of spiritual herbs in the future.

Wouldn't that be twice as effective with half the effort?
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something else.

Screening room!
He couldn't forget the huge projection room he had seen in Tomoyo's dream.

"Why don't I build one in my own villa too? No, I'll make it bigger and more luxurious than that one! When Tomoyo sees it, she might even beg me to live here!"

Once the thought pops into your head, you can't suppress it.

Ye Hui immediately took out his communicator and dialed his housekeeper's number.

"Young Master Ye, what are your instructions?" The butler's respectful and composed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I want to build a private screening room in the villa."

Ye Hui succinctly explained his requirements: "I only have three points: the screen must be the largest, the sound system must be top-of-the-line, and the sofa must be the most comfortable."

"In short, everything must use the best materials and equipment. Money is not a problem. Get it done as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Master."

Without the slightest hesitation, the housekeeper agreed, "I will immediately contact the best designers and construction teams in the industry, and I will provide you with a preliminary plan tomorrow."

This is about an employer who is a primary school student who always makes all sorts of outlandish demands.

He has long been used to it.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Hui felt even more relaxed and put the matter of preparing a storage ring for Zhi Shi back on the agenda.

To craft a qualified storage ring, you first need a core material—the Void Stone.

Void Stone is a mineral that contains spatial power and is the core material for making storage magic items.

In addition to the Void Stone, auxiliary materials are needed to craft the ring, which must be both aesthetically pleasing and capable of bearing the power of space.

Ye Hui opened his system inventory, rummaged through a pile of mineral materials, and began to carefully select them.

A gift for Tomoyo must be given with great care.

Finally, after much deliberation, his gaze settled on a piece of moonlight silver.

The ore is a soft silvery-white color, with a faint halo under the light, pure and warm, much like the temperament of Zhi Shi.

With all the materials prepared, Ye Hui took out the advanced alchemy furnace.

Although its primary function is alchemy, as a high-level magic weapon, it can also serve as a weapon-refining furnace.

He probed a wisp of spiritual energy into the ring and quickly sensed that the space inside was about one cubic meter—not large, but enough for daily use, easily accommodating Tomoyo's camera, spare batteries, lenses, and the various combat suits she had prepared for Sakura.

Ye Hui stood in front of the alchemy furnace and picked up the piece of moonlight silver that gleamed with a cold light.

It feels heavy in your hand, with a faint silver sheen on the surface, and it's smooth to the touch without feeling cold.

The nearby Void Stone is grayish-black, hard in texture, and covered with fine natural patterns.

He first threw the moonlight silver into the furnace.

With a soft sound, the silver ingot landed on the Bagua pattern at the bottom of the furnace.

Then, he picked up the Void Stone and carefully placed it next to the silver block with his spiritual power to prevent damage to its internal spatial power during the collision.

After closing the furnace lid, Ye Hui took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his dantian suddenly awakened, flowing along the eight extraordinary meridians to his right hand.

He placed one hand on the ignition pattern on the side of the alchemy furnace, and spiritual energy flowed into it.

A crackling sound immediately came from the bottom of the furnace.

The pale orange flames licked the furnace walls, slowly raising the temperature.

Ye Hui stared at the temperature scale markings on the furnace wall.

As the flames heated up, the patterns gradually turned a pale gold.

Each step corresponds to a precise temperature, a unique quality of advanced alchemy furnaces.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a sizzling sound of melting came from inside the furnace.

Ye Hui extended his divine sense outwards, probing into the furnace.

The moonlight silver had turned into a silvery-white liquid, like a small spring, flowing slowly in the center of the Bagua pattern, its surface shimmering with silver light, even the air inside the furnace was tinged with a light silver color.

The Void Stone, immersed next to the silver liquid, remained solid, but silver luster seeped into the patterns on its surface, giving it a hazy glow, as if spiritual energy flowed within it.

"It's time to merge." Ye Hui murmured, his divine sense winding around the pool of silver liquid like silk.

He controlled his spiritual power, slightly increasing the intensity.

The silver liquid flowed faster, slowly spreading towards the Void Stone under the guidance of his divine sense.

This step is crucial, and he dares not be distracted in the slightest.

The silver liquid must be applied evenly, without any gaps, otherwise the spatial power of the Void Stone will leak out.

However, the temperature cannot be too high. Once the critical value is exceeded, the Void Stone will become brittle and hard, and completely lose its spirituality.

Fortunately, the temperature control patterns on the alchemy furnace came into play. Whenever the temperature was about to rise, the golden patterns would dim slightly, bringing the heat back to the precise range.

A high-level alchemy furnace should make things easier for its owner.

Ye Hui's divine sense was like a fine net, wrapped in silver liquid, gradually crawling all over the surface of the Void Stone.

From the sharp corners at the top to the flat surface at the bottom, even the gaps in the texture are completely filled.

The moment the silver liquid touched the Void Stone, the surface of the Void Stone shone even brighter.

The silver liquid then took on a faint grayish hue.

The auras of the two materials began to permeate each other, and a spiritual energy that was both clear and profound gradually filled the furnace.

Once the silver liquid completely envelops the Void Stone into a silver sphere.

Ye Hui breathed a sigh of relief and turned the heat back to the gentle setting.

He concentrated his energy, releasing all his spiritual sense to tightly envelop the fused mass.

First, slowly press out the basic shape of a ring. The thickness of the ring should be moderate; too thick and it will look clumsy, too thin and it will not be sturdy enough.

He adjusted it little by little, his divine sense acting like an invisible carving knife, smoothing the edge of the ring, polishing the inside, and leaving a small groove on the face of the ring to set the gemstone.

Throughout the process, the fused object remained soft yet firm under the control of divine consciousness, maintaining its regular shape.

This level of precision was achieved only after he had continuously refined his divine sense during the late stages of Foundation Establishment.

After the shaping was complete, Ye Hui did not stop.

He separated a finer wisp of his divine sense, dipped it in the spiritual power overflowing from his fingertips, and engraved storage runes on the inside of the ring.

These runes were modified from the "Essentials of Talismans" and are more concise than the traditional ones.

It begins with a variant of the seal script character “纳”, followed by three intertwined curves, representing the folding of space.

He carved very slowly, each stroke as steady as a rock. Spiritual power flowed into the runes through his divine sense, and each time he finished carving a rune, it would light up with a pale blue light.

Once the last engraving was completed, the runes on the entire inner side merged into one, flashed with a blue light, and then disappeared into the ring, leaving only a faint mark that did not affect the appearance at all.

Only then did he take out the amethyst stone that had been polished long ago from the brocade box next to him.

He had specially sought this out beforehand, and it took him three whole hours to polish it into a smooth teardrop shape. Its color was a warm, purplish hue, very similar to Tomoyo's eyes.

He used his spiritual power to lift the crystal, gently pressed it into the groove on the ring face, and the crystal was firmly embedded in it, with a perfect fit, as if it had been there all along.

"It's done!" Ye Hui smiled and opened the furnace lid, a refreshing spiritual energy wafting out.

He used his spiritual power to roll up the ring and gently place it in his palm.

The silver ring band gleamed with a soft light, and the amethyst shone with a lustrous sheen under the lamplight.

The overall design is simple yet exquisite, and when you touch it, it feels warm from the nourishment of spiritual energy.

He couldn't wait to probe a wisp of spiritual energy into the runes inside the ring.

Instantly, a cool sensation spread along with the spiritual energy.

His divine sense clearly "saw" the space inside the ring.

It is approximately one cubic meter in size.

The four walls are smooth, with a faint silver-gray hue, which is the effect of the fusion of the spatial power of the Void Stone and the Moonlight Silver.

Ye Hui paused, stroking the amethyst on the ring face.

Although the space wasn't large, it was enough to house Tomoyo's frequently used camera, several spare batteries, and lenses.

There was more than enough room to fit in the two or three battle suits she had sewn for Sakura.

Moreover, this ring is much better than that diary; at least it's easy to carry and can also serve as an ornament.

He held the ring in his hand, clearly feeling the stable spatial power within it, and his smile deepened.

This was not the first storage artifact he had personally crafted.

But it still filled him with a hidden excitement.

After all, this was specially prepared for Tomoyo, and he had put a lot of thought into every detail.

"I can only say it's perfect!"

Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction, found an exquisite velvet jewelry box, and carefully placed the ring inside, planning to give it to Zhi Shi tomorrow.

Just imagining Tomoyo's expression when she receives the gift makes him feel a little excited.

Friday, Tomoeda Elementary School.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto the desks, creating a relaxed atmosphere as the weekend approached.

As soon as Ye Hui entered the classroom, his eyes immediately locked onto Zhi Shi.

She had a new hairstyle today, with playful pigtails and red bows tied at the ends.

As she tidied the books, her ponytail swayed gently, flicking back and forth, looking charming and lively.

"Holy crap! Tomoyo-chan's twin-tail hairstyle is just too much!" Ye Hui's eyes widened slightly as he exclaimed inwardly.

This is just too cute!

Ye Hui felt like his health bar was about to be depleted.

"Ye Zi, oh hello!"

Tomoyo happened to turn her head and saw Ye Hui standing at the door. She immediately showed a gentle smile and took the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning... Good morning, Tomoyo and Sakura."

Ye Hui felt like his tongue was tied in knots.

This isn't because he's a pervert. In fact, in this real world, whether it's Sakura or Tomoyo...

Their appearance doesn't look like that of a primary school student at all!

Especially Tomoyo!
His thinking is also quite mature!
Many times, Ye Hui felt as if he was communicating with a girl his own age!

He walked to his seat and sat down, but his gaze kept drifting towards Tomoyo.

Her twin ponytails paired with her soft profile are simply captivating.

"Ye Zi, why are you staring at me?" Tomoyo noticed his gaze, tilted her head slightly, and her purple eyes flashed. "Is there something strange about me today?"

"No...nothing." Ye Hui looked away, not embarrassed at all, but frankly and truthfully said, "I just thought your hairstyle looked really good today, and it suited you very well, so I wanted to take a few more glances."

Hearing his unabashed praise, Tomoyo's eyes instantly curved into beautiful crescents, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a gentle smile.

"Really? Thank you, Ye Zi."

She gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear and explained softly, "Because it's Friday, I thought I'd change my hairstyle and start the weekend in a relaxed mood."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Sakura chimed in, nodding vigorously in agreement: "Yeah, yeah! Tomoyo's twin tails are so cute today! I thought so when I saw her this morning!"

Ye Hui looked at Zhi Shi's smiling profile and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What's this about changing your hairstyle or changing your mood?

This is clearly just a different way of being "cute"!
He took a deep breath and took out the prepared jewelry box.

The atmosphere is just right now, making it the perfect time to give a gift!
Ye Hui gently handed the jewelry box to Tomoyo, speaking as naturally as possible: "Tomoyo, this is a gift for you, as a way of... thanking you for helping me and Sakura record the capture of the Clow Cards and my training."

"Huh? A gift for me?" Tomoyo paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the exquisite jewelry box, somewhat surprised.

She took the jewelry box and gently opened it.

A silver-white ring lay quietly on a velvet background.

The ring has smooth lines and is set at the top with a small, round purple gemstone that gleams with a warm luster in the morning light.

"What a beautiful ring..." she couldn't help but exclaim softly, her purple eyes revealing undisguised delight.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"This is a storage ring."

Ye Hui explained, "I felt that the storage notebook I gave you before was not convenient to carry. This one is small and won't get in the way if you wear it on your hand."

As he spoke, he picked up the ring and naturally took Tomoyo's hand.

Her fingers were slender and fair, and perhaps because it was a bit chilly in the morning, they still felt slightly cool to the touch.

Ye Hui carefully put the ring on her ring finger; it was the perfect size.

A faint blush instantly spread across Tomoyo's cheeks.

She looked down at the ring on her finger, then looked up at Ye Hui.

After a long silence, she finally said, "Ye Zi, thank you... I really like this gift."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +15】

"I'm glad you like it. Now that you have spiritual power, I don't need to use talismans to help you use them. You can check the space inside this ring yourself."

Ye Hui smiled, feeling relieved.

"Hi!" Tomoyo nodded.

Sakura, who was standing nearby, leaned over to take a look and said with envy, "It's so pretty! Ye-kun, I want a storage ring like that too, please? Please~!"

"Of course, if we hadn't run out of materials, I would have made it for you yesterday."

Ye Hui readily agreed, "Once I find the right materials, I'll make one for you too."

"That's great! Thank you, Yezi!" Sakura smiled happily.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

Ye Hui silently began to make plans in his mind.

For Sakura's storage ring, Void Stone is an essential core material.

If we're talking about amulets, Sakura's favorite color is pink, so using pink crystal would be very suitable.

Adding a few small crystal decorations would definitely suit her taste.

"Sakura, can I come to your house tonight? Tomorrow is the weekend, so I don't have to go to school."

Tomoyo turned her head and asked Sakura.

At the same time, her soft, white fingers gently caressed the surface of the ring, clearly showing her fondness for the gift.

“Okay, okay!” Sakura immediately nodded in agreement. “That way we can eat Daddy’s cooking dinner together again!” Tomoyo shook her hand with the ring on it and said with a smile, “Then I’ll use this storage ring today to bring Kero some of its favorite chocolate snacks.”

"Great! If Kero heard this news, he would be so happy he'd fly!" Sakura couldn't help but laugh as she imagined Kero seeing the sweets.

"Then I'll go too," Ye Hui quickly said.

He didn't want to miss the opportunity to spend time with Sakura and Tomoyo.

Whether it's for completing tasks or accumulating emotional points, you have to stick close to them!

"No problem! Let's go home after school and get ready, then meet at Sakura's house."

Tomoyo smiled slightly, already looking forward to their gathering that evening.

The day's classes ended quickly.

In the evening, Fujitaka was going to be home late because of work, and Touya opened the door.

He saw Tomoyo standing at the door, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his face as he nodded in greeting.

But when his gaze fell on Ye Hui beside Tomoyo, his smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of disdain. [Kinomoto Touya's Emotional Value +9]

Ye Hui rolled his eyes inwardly.

This is such a hypocrite!

He has no grudge against Touya. This guy wasn't like this at first. Why is he always targeting him lately?
Is it just because I'm more handsome than you?

After entering the living room.

Touya poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

He casually turned on the TV, then sat down on the sofa and started playing on his phone, seemingly sending text messages, without saying anything more.

"Yoko-kun, Tomoyo-chan, you're here! Come on, have a seat!" Sakura ran downstairs and plopped down on the sofa.

Then he patted the empty seat next to him enthusiastically, gesturing for the two of them to sit down quickly.

A travel program is playing on TV, showcasing scenic spots and landmarks from around the world.

When the camera switches to an ancient castle.

The stone walls are covered with vines, the pointed towers soar into the sky, and the windows are inlaid with stained glass.

Sakura's eyes lit up instantly.

"The host said that this castle is 450 years old and has now been converted into a museum and is open to the public..."

Sakura stared at the screen, quietly reciting the narration.

"Wow..." she exclaimed sincerely, her face full of longing. "This castle is so beautiful! I wish I could live in a place like this, it would feel like living in a fairy tale!"

"Living in a place like this?" Touya looked up from his phone screen, glanced at the castle on TV, and squinted. "Don't be silly, living in an old castle like this is exhausting."

"Huh? Why?" Sakura tilted her head and pouted.

Living in such a beautiful castle, wearing pretty dresses and living in luxurious rooms like a princess every day, how could I possibly be tired?
Touya leaned back on the sofa, his hands behind his head, and said slowly, "Such a big castle, just cleaning the dust in each room and wiping the old furniture would take several days, not to mention taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard."

He paused, then added, pinpointing Sakura's weakness: "Besides, with your sense of direction, you'll probably get lost in the castle in less than three days, and you won't even be able to find your own room."

"I won't!" Sakura retorted angrily, her cheeks puffing up.

Although she knew in her heart that she really had no sense of direction.

Last time I was strolling around the mall, I almost got separated from my dad.
"the most important is……"

Touya turned to look at Sakura and said the most hurtful thing, "You're nothing like a princess."

"No way!" Sakura's cheeks puffed up even more, like an angry little hamster. "If I lived in a castle, I would definitely learn to be more elegant and more like a princess!"

"Impossible." Touya shattered her illusions without hesitation or mercy.

"Why! Why are you so sure, brother!" Sakura exclaimed anxiously, stretching out her foot and gently kicking Touya's shin, trying to express her dissatisfaction in this way.

Touya grabbed her ankle with a look of disgust and moved her foot off his leg.

"First of all, a real princess would not do something as rude as kicking someone's shin."

"Ugh! Humph, I hate my brother the most!" Sakura turned around angrily, her back to Touya, and ignored him.

Ye Hui couldn't help but chuckle as he watched from the side.

Is Sakura's family really that interesting every day?

I really want to bring Tomoyo along and move in with us.

Moreover, even though Touya always deliberately makes Sakura angry, he can't hide the doting affection in his eyes.

But no wonder.

Even when Sakura is angry, she's so cute. With her cheeks puffed out, it's impossible to stay angry at all.

Anyone would be tempted to tease her.

Ahem, of course, he didn't actually intend to tease Sakura in any particular way.

at this time.

Touya's communicator rang.

He picked up the phone.

After a while, he hummed in agreement a few times, then stood up and picked up his coat.

"I have something to do and need to go out for a bit," he said to Sakura, his tone becoming indifferent again.

"Brother, where are you going?" Sakura asked, turning her head immediately.

"Go find Xue, and come back with him later." After saying that, Touya glanced at Ye Hui before leaving.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui blinked innocently.

Why are you glaring at him?

He did nothing.

However, since his relationship with Sakura has become better recently, he has long been used to this "special treatment".

He shrugged and ignored Touya.

After the other party leaves.

Only Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi remained in the living room.

"Let's go to my room! Xiao Ke is still waiting for us inside; it must be starving!"

Sakura jumped up from the sofa, turned off the TV, and grabbed Tomoyo's hand, heading towards the stairs.

Her emotions came and went quickly.

She had long since forgotten about the little tiff with Touya earlier.

"it is good."

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a smile and followed.

The three of them went up to the second floor together and pushed open the door to Sakura's room.

Xiao Ke was lying on the desk, holding a comic book in her two little paws, her head close to the page, engrossed in reading it, so engrossed that she didn't even notice someone coming in.

It didn't raise its head until it heard the door close.

Seeing the three people walk in, DouDou's eyes lit up instantly, filled with anticipation.

"You're back!" Xiao Ke immediately dropped her comic book, flapped her wings and flew over, circling the three of them once.

"Xiao Ke, you seem very happy today." Ye Hui couldn't help but tease it, looking at its excited appearance.

"Of course!" Kero said proudly, hands on his hips, flapping his wings triumphantly. "Sakura already told me that Tomoyo was going to bring me some delicious snacks!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +8]

It flew to Tomoyo's side, sniffing incessantly, and asked eagerly, "What delicious treat is it? Is it chocolate cake? Or strawberry pudding? I haven't had any snacks Tomoyo brought in ages!"

"Are you a pig? You come over and sniff around whenever you hear food," Ye Hui complained.

"You're talking nonsense! I'm not a pig, I'm the great Clow Card Sealing Beast, Keroberos!"

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, then its fur stood on end, all the downy feathers on its body stood up, its eyes glared at Ye Hui, and its wings flapped incessantly in anger.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +10]

Ye Hui nodded and added seriously, "That's true. Even pigs can't eat as much as you. Last time you ate three pieces of cake in one go. I've never seen such a greedy little wild boar before."

"You're the glutton! You're the wild boar!"

Xiao Ke turned her head away angrily, ignoring him, and instead turned to Zhi Shi to fawn over him, her voice instantly softening.

"Tomoyo~ What delicious food did you bring? Is it my favorite chocolate cake?"

"What flavor isn't your favorite?" Ye Hui smacked his lips.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ke still ignored him.

Tomoyo couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Kero's behavior shift from being furious to trying to appease her.

She stretched out her hand, adorned with a silver storage ring, and gently waved it in front of Xiao Ke: "I brought you your favorite strawberry fruit pie and chocolate velvet cake. I specially had the family chef make them, and added lots of your favorite cream."

The voice just fell.

With a slight movement of her fingertips, an exquisite pie box printed with a strawberry pattern and a cake box appeared out of thin air in her hand, with pink ribbons tied to the wrapping paper.

"Wow!"

Sakura exclaimed in surprise, leaning closer to examine the two boxes that had appeared out of thin air. Her eyes sparkled. "Tomoyo, this storage ring of yours is so convenient! It's much better than a diary!"

"I have to thank Ye Zi for giving me such a practical gift."

Tomoyo turned to look at Ye Hui, a faint smile on her lips.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Sakura immediately sidled up to Ye Hui, looking at him expectantly: "Ye Zi~ Don't forget my storage ring~ I want a pink one!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

"Don't worry, I won't forget," Ye Hui nodded reassuringly.

Xiao Ke, standing to the side, had no interest in rings at all; she was completely captivated by the faint strawberry scent and rich chocolate aroma emanating from the black bag.

It stared intently at the two boxes in Tomoyo's hands, its mouth practically watering, its wings flapping incessantly.

"Open it quickly! I want to eat strawberry pie!"

Kero circled around Tomoyo, urging her on, its paws almost reaching for the box.

However, just as its claws were about to touch the box, Ye Hui reached out and stopped it.

"Wait, don't eat yet."

Xiao Ke glared at him with great displeasure: "You brat, why are you stopping me!"

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow: "You can have some snacks, but you have to wait for Zhi Shi to finish speaking first."

"Tomoyo brought you some snacks, so you should at least ask her if she has anything to say to us first. It's basic courtesy."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +3】

Although Xiao Ke was extremely unwilling, she finally gave in after seeing Tomoyo's gentle eyes and the fragrant strawberry pie and chocolate cake in her hands.

"Alright, alright, then tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

It flew to the desk and sat down, trying its best to look like it was "listening attentively."

However, its eyes kept glancing at the pie box, revealing its thoughts.

Tomoyo watched the two of them bickering, her purple eyes filled with laughter.

Instead of opening the box immediately, she blinked and deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"Actually... I brought something else with me today besides the snacks."

"Something else? What is it?" Sakura and Kero tilted their heads at the same time and asked in unison.

"In some ways, this human and this beast are really alike," Ye Hui muttered to himself.

Then, under the expectant gazes of Sakura and Kero.

Tomoyo used her storage ring again.

Take out a gift box wrapped in pink paper.

It also has a small bow tied on top.

She handed the gift box to Sakura and said gently, "Open it and see. This is a surprise I specially prepared for you, Sakura, to celebrate your successful capture of the karuta."

"For me?"

Sakura excitedly accepted the gift box, gently touched the wrapping paper, and then carefully untied the ribbon and packaging.

Inside was a set of clothes folded neatly, in the style of a maid outfit.

The sky-blue dress had a fluffy skirt, and the neckline and hem were trimmed with white lace.

The cuffs feature a cute puff sleeve design, and a white apron is worn around the waist.

The apron is also embroidered with delicate lace, making it look exquisite and cute.

Wow! What an adorable dress!

Sakura picked up the maid outfit, her eyes sparkling, but a shy blush crept onto her face.

This was the first time she had to wear this style of clothing herself.

Tomoyo clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with longing: "Sakura will look absolutely adorable in this outfit! I designed it specifically for your size, so it'll definitely fit you perfectly."

Ye Hui nodded in agreement.

Tomoyo's aesthetic sense is truly impeccable; the sky-blue skirt is paired with white lace.

It's cute without being over-the-top, which really suits Sakura's personality.

"But... wouldn't it be a bit too strange to wear this to capture the Clow Cards?"

Sakura was still a little hesitant, her fingers gently pinching the hem of her skirt. "And won't it be inconvenient during battle?"

"No, it won't!" Tomoyo immediately waved her hand and explained, "I specifically chose the lightest cotton and linen fabric, and the skirt is also designed with pleats, so running and jumping won't be affected, and it definitely won't delay your battle!"

As she spoke, she took out a pink bow hair clip from the gift box, which was decorated with small pearls.

"And this matching hair clip, I'm sure you'll look perfect wearing it, Sakura!"

Seeing the expectant look in Tomoyo's eyes, Sakura couldn't bear to refuse and could only nod: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

"That's great!" Tomoyo's eyes crinkled with laughter as she took out a small blue top hat in the same color scheme from her storage ring. A small fabric flower was pinned to the brim of the hat. "This is for Kero. It matches Sakura's clothes perfectly."

"For me?" Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, her attention instantly shifting from the strawberry pie. She took the little hat and put it on her head.

—Not too big, not too small, just right.

"How is it? Doesn't it look good? Isn't it handsome?" It flapped its wings and flew to the mirror, looking at itself from left to right, its tail wagging proudly.

"Yeah, very handsome."

Ye Hui nodded seriously, suppressing a laugh as he added, "Wearing this hat, you look even more like a qualified 'mascot,' and you match Sakura perfectly."

"I'm not a mascot! I am the great Sealed Beast, Cerberus!! You brat, how many times do I have to say it?!"

Xiao Ke stormed back in a huff, stood on the desk and yelled, flapping its wings loudly against the desk.

But he kept his hat on tightly, showing no intention of taking it off.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +12]

After venting their frustrations.

It then turned its gaze to the strawberry pie on the table, swallowed hard, and said, "Alright, alright, can we eat the strawberry pie now? My stomach is growling!"

"Let's eat after Sakura changes her clothes and we take some photos," Tomoyo said with a smile, but firmly uttered a sentence that was nothing short of cruel to Kero.
"Huh?! Why?!" Keroberos let out a desperate wail, slamming its paw on the table. "Taking pictures and eating pie don't have to be separate!"

"Because eating sweets while wearing new clothes feels more ceremonial!" Tomoyo's reasoning sounded impeccable.

Xiao Ke: "(∧)..."

I don't believe you, Tomoyo-chan!
You clearly wanted to film Sakura first!

Ye Hui watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused.

Tomoyo's cunning and manipulative nature seems to be becoming more and more apparent lately.

Even Xiao Ke was completely under her control.

Sakura, holding the maid outfit, still hesitated: "Should I change now? Should I change here?"

"Yes! I want to see Sakura wearing it right away~!" Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's hand and pushed her behind the screen. "I've already prepared a changing screen for you, go on!"

"Okay..." Sakura had no choice but to hug her clothes and hide behind the screen.

Ye Hui also turned around at the right time.

It didn't take long.

The zipper sound behind the screen stopped.

Sakura changed her clothes and came out somewhat embarrassed.

"Wow!" Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exclaimed at the same time.

The sky-blue maid outfit made Sakura's skin appear even whiter.

The fluffy puff sleeves and lace trim perfectly accentuate the girl's delicate charm.

The addition of a pink bow hair clip makes Sakura look exceptionally lively.

Sakura looks somewhat like Alice from Alice in Wonderland right now!

"Sakura, you're so cute!"

Tomoyo immediately raised the camera, aimed it at Sakura, and began filming, the lens following her figure as it moved continuously.

"How about you spin around and see? It'll look beautiful when your skirt flutters! Yes, lift your head slightly and look at the ceiling, and also, raise your arms a little~ That's right, just like that!"

Ye Hui also took out his video camera and took several photos.

Such a cute Sakura, it would be a shame not to take more pictures!
Sakura blushed even more as the two men stared at her, and soon, following Tomoyo's instructions, she struck various embarrassing poses.

A moment later, she would nervously clutch the hem of her apron with both hands, looking completely helpless.

"Tomoyo, Yoru, please stop taking pictures... It's so embarrassing..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

"No way! Sakura is so cute, we have to record this properly, otherwise it would be such a waste."

Ye Hui held up his phone and said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

🇧🇷
Afterwards, he took several more photos of Sakura from different angles.

at this time.

Sakura's expression suddenly changed. She frowned, turned her head slightly, and looked towards the door, as if sensing something.

"What's wrong, Sakura? Are you feeling unwell?" Tomoyo stopped filming immediately upon seeing this and asked with concern.

She put down the camera and walked over to Sakura.

"It's not that I feel unwell, it's... I think I can sense the presence of the Clow Cards, but it's very faint," Sakura said.

Xiao Ke instantly snapped out of her craving for strawberry pie and chocolate cake.

It flapped its wings and flew to Sakura's shoulder, its expression becoming serious.

How could Clow Cards appear in my home?
This is no small matter!
However, Ye Hui also came to his senses slightly.

After all, there weren't many Clow Cards in the Kinomoto residence.

Many of the previous cards have already been captured.

This time, it should be a smaller brand, right?
Sakura's cute maid outfit strangely matches Xiaopai's abilities.

If I could capture the scene, it would definitely look like a delicate figurine.
Sakura closed her eyes and focused her mind on sensing the source of that aura.

After about ten seconds, she opened her eyes.

"The scent is coming from Dad's room!"

"Uncle Fujitaka's room?" Tomoyo was somewhat surprised.

"Yes! I'm sure!" Sakura nodded vigorously.

"Let's go check on it quickly, before it causes trouble in the room," Ye Hui said, leading the way towards the door.

His goal today was simply to admire the adorable Sakura.

Unexpectedly, I encountered another Clow Card.

Then let's help her solve the problems she can't handle.

Sakura unlocked the sealing key, gripped her wand, and tiptoed behind Ye Hui, moving towards Fujitaka's bedroom.

Tomoyo, holding a camera, followed at the back with expectant eyes: "What a coincidence! Sakura can wear her new clothes to capture the Clow Cards. We're sure to get some amazing footage!"

"Little Ye, why aren't you nervous at all?" Xiao Ke flapped her wings and flew to Ye Hui's side, looking at his leisurely manner, and couldn't help but ask.

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow: "Why would I be nervous? I'm not a Cardcaptor Sakura, I don't need to be at the forefront. Besides, do you think the current Clow Cards can pose a threat to me?"

Xiao Ke choked for a moment, scoffed, and muttered, "Hmph, if we really run into danger, don't expect me to protect you! You big braggart!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +13]

Soon, the group arrived at the door of Fujitaka's bedroom.

The door was ajar, and the room was empty; Fujitaka hadn't returned yet.

Sakura gently pushed open a crack in the door and immediately saw a tiny point of light jumping on the bed in the bedroom, shimmering with a pale green glow like a firefly.

She quickly pushed open the door and went over.

The small dot of light seemed to sense someone entering and paused in mid-air for a moment.

Then he suddenly jumped quickly towards Sakura.

Sakura instinctively raised her wand, intending to cast a defensive spell, but before she could even utter the incantation...

The tiny dot of light hit her forehead with a "smack" and then disappeared.

"Huh?" Sakura froze on the spot, subconsciously touching her forehead.

Apart from a faint touch, I felt nothing. "I...I seem to be alright?"

She was a little unsure.

Tomoyo immediately stepped forward, looking at her with some anxiety: "Sakura, are you really alright? Are you dizzy or feeling unwell anywhere?"

After seeing that small dot of light, Ye Hui confirmed that it was indeed the small card.

This card won't cause Sakura any real harm.

He actually intended to raise his hand and block the small card.

but
Cough cough, he definitely didn't want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to photograph Sakura's figure.

That's right, that's exactly it. He just wanted to stop the small card player, but he didn't have time to make a move!

"Would you like to sit down and rest for a bit?" Ye Hui coughed lightly and then asked.

Sakura shook her head and carefully examined her body. "No need, I really don't feel anything."

Ye Hui also tilted his head.

Strangely, Sakura looks exactly the same as before, without any change.

But didn't that little card just touch Sakura?
Could it be... that his memory is faulty?
A hint of doubt arose in Ye Hui's heart.

Just then, Sakura suddenly let out a short, startled cry: "Ah!"

"What's wrong, Sakura? Is the Clow Card up to you again?" Kero shouted immediately, looking around warily, his wings tense.

"I...I think...I'm getting smaller!" Sakura's voice was filled with terror as she instinctively reached for her body, her face filled with disbelief.

However, the words just fell.

Her body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her cute blue and white maid outfit was also shrinking along with her.

In just a few seconds, Sakura shrunk to the size of a palm.

"Wow! I've really shrunk!"

Sakura looked at her slender, miniature hands and feet, then looked up at Ye Hui and Tomoyo, who had suddenly become incredibly tall, and was completely dumbfounded.

"Oh no, Yezi! You've gotten so big!"
