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

Chapter 88 The Vine Man Leveled Up? Wait! This Vine Man
The group belatedly realized that their way home was blocked.

They were all stunned and stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The joy of their recent reunion faded, replaced by a sense of panic.

Even Mr. Terada frowned, looking completely bewildered.

He clearly remembered that he had been at the bridgehead, wrapped in a white cloth, ready to scare the next group of students.

How did we end up at the deepest part of the cave in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that I didn't notice and wandered here without realizing it?
how can that be!

He is not a fool!

But how did the bridge catch fire?

What exactly is going on?
A series of questions swirled in his mind, making him increasingly confused.

"Let's call for help."

Mr. Terada hesitated before taking out his communicator. Just as his finger was about to touch the screen, he was interrupted by Ye Hui's voice.

"It's just a bridge, isn't it?"

Ye Hui walked to the riverbank and said casually, "Leave it to me."

The crowd stared at the deep ravine, which was several meters wide, with steep cliffs and churning waves below, their eyes filled with doubt.

Ye Hui remained calm, raising his hand above the ground, palm down, fingers slightly spread.

"Induce labor!"

Swish!
Spiritual energy flowed from his palm like a warm stream, seeping into the soil.

Suddenly, the soil beneath his feet trembled slightly, and a few grains of dust rolled down.

Followed by.

With a "poof" sound.

A few new green shoots broke through the ground, the tips of the vines wrapped in mud, showing resilience as they broke through the soil.

Before anyone could react, the vines had already grown wildly, like awakened serpents.

The slender stems quickly thickened, revealing bluish-brown veins.

The tender green leaves are spread out, with distinct serrations.

The veins of the leaf shimmered with a faint, ethereal light.

They seem to have eyes; some leap upwards, then turn and reach towards the opposite bank.

Some spread close to the ground, intertwining and weaving together. When they touch, they produce fine aerial roots that lock together like rivets.

In just a few breaths, a vine bridge two zhang wide spanned the deep ravine.

The trunk is as thick as a child's arm, and the intertwined branches are adorned with green leaves, swaying in the wind blowing from the cave, yet as stable as a rock.

One student looked on in surprise and reached out to touch it, finding it unusually tough and smooth.

Ye Hui withdrew his hand, the spiritual light in his palm dissipating, and said calmly, "Let's go."

However, he had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly, a complaining remark popped into Ye Hui's mind.

"Why did you call us here to do work? It's such a hassle..."

He paused for a moment, blinked, and subconsciously looked around.

But everyone was staring at the vine bridge, and no one spoke.

Was he hallucinating?
Tomoyo noticed his pause and asked softly, "Ye-kun, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to get stepped on by human feet in a bit, waaaaah...~"

"I'm so tired, I don't want to go to work!"

Two more faint sounds rang out.

Ye Hui frowned slightly, his expression gradually becoming strange.

Stepped on by humans?

Don't want to go to work?

Could it be that these vines are "speaking"?

Only then did he react.

As his spiritual power improved, his growth-inducing technique even allowed him to vaguely sense the consciousness of plants!
The vines he spurred to grow sounded more like a chatterbox.
He composed himself and shook his head at Tomoyo: "No, it's nothing."

Then, he leaned closer to Sakura and whispered, "Sakura, remember to use the eraser later to erase this memory of the teacher and classmates."

"Okay, okay!" Sakura quickly nodded in agreement.

The entire process of Ye Hui creating the vine bridge took only a few seconds, yet it left everyone present dumbfounded.

Some people's mouths were slightly open, while others' eyes were wide open.

Some students even gasped in shock.

[Yamazaki Takashi's emotional value +20]

[Sasaki Rika's emotional value +18]

"The bridge... has grown?"

One student raised his hand in disbelief and pinched his arm hard.

But he was in so much pain that he grimaced, and only then did he realize that he really wasn't dreaming.

Terada-sensei rubbed his eyes, repeatedly checking the scene before him, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Naoko stared at the vine bridge, then looked at Ye Hui, her eyes filled with shock: "Ye Hui, so the cultivators you were talking about... are real?"

They used to think Ye Hui was joking when he said he was a cultivator.

Those special abilities are nothing more than clever magic tricks.

But the move he's just made has really touched on their blind spot.

"Wait a minute, that means..."

Naoko's eyes suddenly lit up.

Upon hearing her words, Sakura quickly explained, "No..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +13]

"Ghosts really exist in this world?!" Naoko exclaimed excitedly.

Sakura was so startled by her absurd logic that she stumbled and almost lost her balance.

Ye Hui stood to the side, looking helpless.

Naoko's obsession with ghosts has truly never wavered.
"Is this a wood-based spell?"

Tomoyo walked to the vine bridge, reached out, and gently touched the cool vines; the touch felt incredibly real.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

She recalled the knowledge about the Five Elements that Ye Hui had mentioned when he taught her how to cultivate immortality.

Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also used the 'Growth Induction Technique' when we were tug-of-war with Li Pai before, do you remember?"

"Alright, the bridge is built, we can go out now." Ye Hui turned around and called out to the others.

He then stepped onto the vine bridge first, the vines beneath his feet providing steady support.

He took two steps and turned back, saying, "It's very sturdy, everyone can walk with confidence."

"Yes, everyone, don't be afraid, go ahead and don't worry."

Tomoyo followed and walked onto the bridge, her skirt brushing against the vines and swaying slightly.

Sakura even held Tomoyo's arm and bounced lightly a couple of times on the vine bridge.

However, the bridge surface only undulated slightly.

She laughed and exclaimed, "It's really stable!"

The others then came to their senses from the shock.

One by one, they carefully stepped onto the bridge.

The vines underfoot had the resilience of grass and trees, and they felt surprisingly solid when stepped on.

Soon, everyone reached the other side safely.

Someone turned around to look.

The bridge, woven from vines, stood quietly across the river, gleaming with a verdant sheen in the dim light.

The crowd's eyes were still filled with amazement.

Unable to contain his excitement, Yamazaki moved closer to Ye Hui: "Ye Hui, so all those things you showed me before were also immortal techniques? Are there many cultivators in the world? Do the legendary myths really exist? Can you teach me how to cultivate immortality?"

[Yamazaki Takashi's emotional value +24]

"Yes, yes, does magic really exist?"

Other classmates gathered around, asking questions all at once, their eyes filled with pure curiosity rather than fear.

what is this?
A rare cultivator!

Come and take a closer look!
This is also thanks to Ye Hui's good image and popularity in class.

People don't see him as an oddity or feel fear or apprehension.

Tomoyo looked at Ye Hui, who was surrounded in the middle, and smiled with her purple eyes. She turned to him and said, "Ye-kun is really popular."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui was slightly embarrassed by her teasing, but he didn't intend to answer his classmate's questions.

—After all, they will lose this memory soon, so it makes no difference whether we explain it or not.

He turned to Sakura, who seemed a little nervous, and whispered a reminder: "Sakura, don't forget to use the elimination card."

"Eh... Oh!" Sakura quickly realized what was happening and took out the card she had just captured.

After a moment's hesitation, he raised his wand.

The soft light emanating from the card slowly spread out, enveloping everyone except Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, Zhi Shi, and Li Xiao Lang.

After the light fades away.

The curiosity on the students' faces disappeared.

"Huh? What just happened?"

Did we come out after we finished lighting the candles?

After observing for a moment, Ye Hui confirmed that their memories had been silently erased by the eraser.

Yes, this card is really useful.

With this card, no matter who sees his Sage Mode or Sakura's magic, it will be safe.

It doesn't matter.

A card was thrown out.

All memories have been erased!
In this way, they will be able to use their power without restraint.

There's no need to worry too much about what others think.

Sakura turned to look at Ye Hui and asked softly, "Ye Zi, is this...is this okay?"

"Okay, that's fine." Ye Hui nodded.

The courage-testing competition has now come to an end.

Although the process was somewhat complicated, everyone was safe and sound.

Ye Hui also gained new supernatural powers.

From now on, it will be much easier to launch a surprise attack or escape.

—This is practically murder and robbery. Oh no, it's an essential skill for home and travel!
Moreover, Sakura's experience this time, especially after witnessing Tomoyo's disappearance, was truly remarkable.

Her state of mind is definitely different from that of the innocent girl she was before.

"Ugh, this training is like a joke. If Sakura were thrown into the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica..."

You don't even need to go there; it's just next door in the Wing Era.
tsk~

Sakura has only been inside for a day, and she's probably already completely broken down, right?

The night passed.

Soon, it was the last day of the extracurricular activity at the beach.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, Zhi Shi, and several other classmates sat side by side on the beach.

They rolled up the corners of their clothes.

The sea breeze carries a salty scent.

"What a pity! I was so looking forward to the test of courage, but I don't remember doing anything at all..." Naoko said regretfully, holding her cheeks.

“Me too,” Rika, Chiharu, and Yamazaki chimed in.

"The card elimination is amazing! Everyone really doesn't remember anything." Sakura turned her head and whispered to Tomoyo beside her.

“Yes, thanks to it, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to explain what happened last night.” Tomoyo nodded with a smile, then her gaze fell on the distant waves.

Ye Hui calmly spoke up from the side: "There are many uses for the Clow Cards. Sakura can explore them slowly in the future. Even a simple card can have multiple uses. You can try them out—it would be good to use Kero as an experiment."

Erasing memories is merely a basic application of card elimination.

Actually, based on the characteristics of each Clow Card.

With skillful application and sufficient magical support, it can accomplish almost anything.

For example, the time-honored cards he used before could even reverse the signs of time.

Sakura clenched her fists and encouraged herself: "Yes, I will try my best!"

Tomoyo looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness: "Sakura is always so full of fighting spirit."

She paused slightly at this point: "But, should we use Xiao Ke as a test subject? Wouldn't that be risky?"

“It’s okay!” Sakura waved her hand. “It just eats and sleeps all day at home. Lately, it doesn’t even want to help me with housework anymore! Humph, it’s time to find it something to do.”

Tomoyo blinked, a smile playing in her dark purple eyes: "Okay~"

She couldn't save Xiao Ke either.

"Hey? Li seems to be standing there all by herself." Sakura turned her head, her eyes catching a glimpse of a spot, and suddenly pointed to the seaside.

Not far away, Li Xiaolang stood with his back to the crowd, gazing at the undulating sea, lost in thought.

The sea breeze ruffled the hem of his clothes, and his silhouette looked somewhat forlorn.

"Hmm, I'm going right there, I'll be right back!"

Sakura stood up and said something to Ye Hui and Tomoyo.

Then he walked in the direction of Li Xiaolang.

"Sakura is such a sensible child."

Tomoyo tilted her head. "She's going to thank Li, isn't she?"

"I think so," Ye Hui nodded.

Sakura did indeed want to thank Li Xiaolang for what happened in the cave last night.

After all, it wasn't just him urging Sakura on; Li Xiaolang also taught Sakura what to do to some extent.

It seems that Sakura and Li Xiaolang's relationship is finally about to take a turn for the better?
He used to wonder if it would be because of his appearance.

Li Xiaolang will continue to oppose Xiaoying.

Now it seems that he might actually be able to join their Sakura Thieves.

"Student Li."

Sakura walked up behind Li Xiaolang and gently called his name.

Li Xiaolang didn't turn around; he remained with his back to her, his tone still cold and aloof.

"What?"

Sakura blinked and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help last night!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang was visibly taken aback. He glanced sideways and behind him, just in time to see Sakura's smiling face.

He opened his mouth, swallowed hard, and finally said stiffly, "That doesn't mean I agree with you."

Seeing his expression, Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing!"

Li Xiaolang's face flushed red instantly, and his tone became more urgent.

This guy is actually mocking him?
Why should she!
Sakura quickly waved her hand: "Hey! It's nothing, it's nothing! I just think that Li Xiaolang isn't actually a bad guy."

"Huh?" Li Xiaolang looked completely bewildered. "You guys all looked like thugs back then, so who was the bad guy? Hmm? The boss?"

Sakura paused, then smiled sheepishly: "Yoko was just joking with you! Tomoyo and I aren't some delinquent girls!"

"Tch!" Li Xiaolang scoffed and said nothing more.

But the atmosphere between the two of them had clearly become much more relaxed without them even realizing it.

Ye Hui chuckled inwardly.

Dealing with a proud and arrogant guy like Li Xiaolang.

As expected, it's Sakura, the blunt and cute girl who likes to be straightforward, who is the most effective.

Look, he can't even keep up the cool act anymore.

Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a beautiful arc as she said softly, "It seems like Li is always saying one thing and meaning another."

Ye Hui remarked, "He's just being arrogant."

Tomoyo tilted her head and asked curiously, "Tsundere? Is that how you describe Li right now? It's quite fitting."

After saying that, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sakura! Li! Want to play beach volleyball?" Chiharu shouted at them, waving a ball in her hand.

"I want to play!" Sakura immediately raised her hand excitedly, then looked at Li Xiaolang, "Li-kun, come with us?"

Li Xiaolang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Let me tell you!" Yamazaki suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised a finger, and began his "science popularization" again.

“In ancient Egypt, beach volleyball also had a special meaning.”

He said in all seriousness, "I've heard that whoever catches the last ball will find true love!" The others were speechless for a moment: "..."

It's another one of those ridiculously fake legends.

Chiharu was too lazy to even complain, so she slapped him on the back of the head: "You talk too much! Hurry up and get started!"

However, two people reacted differently from the others.

Sakura and Li Xiaolang simultaneously caught the words "true love".

The two of them subconsciously thought of the same person.

—That Snow Rabbit Bro who always has a gentle and warm smile!

In an instant, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in both of their eyes.

"I absolutely...won't lose!" Sakura clenched her fists tightly.

"The last ball must be mine!" Li Xiaolang's expression was also extremely serious, his eyes revealing his determination to win.

So, the next beach volleyball match took place.

Sudden change in painting style.

What was originally just a lighthearted and entertaining game was transformed into a tense and competitive match by Sakura and Li Xiaolang.

Sakura fully demonstrated her extraordinary athletic talent, coupled with the strength and reaction speed she developed later in life.

Spikes and juggles flow smoothly and effortlessly.

Of course, Li Xiaolang was not to be outdone.

They made quick saves and counterattacks.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.

The other students were dumbfounded, standing there stunned, barely able to get a word in edgewise.

"Are those two...working this hard?"

Only Ye Hui and Zhi Shi watched with great interest and fascination.

"This is the power of magic..." Ye Hui shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that neither Sakura nor Li wants to lose."

Tomoyo smiled and joked, but her camera never stopped recording the intense moment. The competition was gradually reaching its climax.

The last ball.

Sakura and Li Xiaolang jumped at the same time, lunging towards the volleyball in the air, both wanting to grab this crucial ball.

"It's mine!" they both shouted in unison.

The next second, their hands simultaneously slapped the volleyball.

"boom!"

The volleyball was squeezed by two forces, instantly changing direction and flying out of the court.

It traced a parabola in the air.

It flew straight towards Ye Hui, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

Ye Hui: ???
What the heck? Don't come any closer!

Whoosh!
The volleyball whistled as it flew towards Ye Hui.

It was just a hair's breadth away from hitting him and Tomoyo, who was standing next to him.

Ye Hui instinctively reached out and held the ball firmly in his arms.

Tomoyo blinked.

Sakura and Li Xiaolang's gazes also fell on Ye Hui, who was holding a volleyball and looking completely innocent.

The eyes are complicated.

Ye Hui looked down at the volleyball in his arms and sighed.

At this moment, Yamazaki opened his eyes, smiled, and pointed at Ye Hui, saying, "According to legend, the person who will find true love now is Ye Hui!"

[Yamazaki Takashi's emotional value +5]

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +7]

Ye Hui instantly felt the resentful gazes from Sakura and Li Xiaolang, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Sigh... I'm just a bystander watching the show...

Tomoyo, holding the camera, stepped back and took a picture of Ye Hui holding a ball on the beach.

Then she winked at him and said in a light tone, "Student Ye was lucky! She managed to snatch the last ball from Sakura and Li!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

Upon hearing this, Xiaoying pouted and stared intently at Ye Hui, her eyes filled with sorrow.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +14]

Ye Hui sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

He was just standing there quietly; how could he have tried to rob anyone?
The ball just kept going straight into his arms, and there was nothing he could do about it!

Tomoyo-chan, you're clearly adding fuel to the fire!
……

After the extracurricular activity at the beach.

After saying goodbye to Tomoyo and Sakura, I returned home.

It was time for Ye Hui to head to the Spirit Medicine Small World again.

After this period of careful cultivation.

The first batch of medicinal herbs planted has matured.

The Void Spirit Field, which was once filled with all sorts of spiritual herbs, has finally cleared out a space.

Every time Ye Hui stepped into this small world of spiritual herbs, he would feel regret.

Why didn't we expand the area of ​​the spirit fields back then?

Now the medicinal herbs are growing so densely that there is no extra space left.

"System, go to the Spirit Herb Minor World!"

Ye Hui's vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, the familiar hazy green light had already filled his field of vision.

The tall red vines, about ten feet high, climbed the jade trellis and stretched out their branches and leaves, while the seven-leafed resurrection grass glistened with the night dew.

The roots of giant medicinal herbs throbbed gently beneath the fertile soil.

The wood elemental energy permeating the air was so dense that it almost solidified.

With just one breath, you can feel the spiritual energy in your meridians slightly warming up.

If it weren't for the fact that he could only stay here for a short time, Ye Hui would have stayed here to cultivate.

The speed will definitely be several points faster.

Ye Hui habitually dusted off the grass clippings from his sleeves and walked towards the center of the spirit field.

He paused deliberately as he passed the outer semi-transparent barrier.

This barrier has been upgraded twice.

The halo that was originally as thick as glass has become increasingly thin.

The shadows of swaying herbs could be vaguely seen on the other side.

He raised his hand, condensed a wisp of spiritual energy, and gently touched it.

A faint ripple appeared on the barrier, but it quickly stopped reacting.

He figured that after two more upgrades, this barrier wouldn't be able to stop him anymore.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Ye Hui's eyes.

He will uncover the secret hidden behind that barrier sooner or later!

I walked to that familiar area of ​​medicinal herbs.

Ye Hui bent down and picked up the silver blade at his waist.

Just as he was about to cut the remnants of the elixir as usual, his gaze suddenly froze.

Wait, something's wrong!

The vine-like figures guarding the medicinal herbs had a noticeably different aura today.

In the past.

These guardians, formed from aggregated spirit vines, are fast, but ultimately can only move by dragging their roots along the ground.

Let alone attacking, even keeping up with his pace seemed difficult.

To him, these vines were nothing more than moving scenery in the spirit field.

But at this moment, the vines on the trunk of the vine-man closest to him were trembling gently at a frequency he had never experienced before.

Ye Hui observed that the roots of these vine-like people were noticeably shallower when they were embedded in the soil.

What made him even more frightened was...

Just as he was intently observing, the vine-like figure suddenly moved.

Their movements are no longer the unsteady gait of the past, but rather a swift and agile speed.

Suddenly, the two vines, as thick as bowls, straightened and lashed the ground like steel whips!
There was a crisp sound of "pop".

The soil was pumped out and splashed everywhere.

Using this powerful reaction force, the vine-man was actually bounced up from the ground!
Ye Hui's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

The vine-like figure stretched its branches and leaves in the air, its roots swaying slightly beneath its trunk.

It actually glided for about ten feet before landing back on the ground.

Although it was only three feet off the ground, the gliding distance was not very far.

But its soaring posture and trajectory freed from the constraints of the ground.

But it really did "fly"!

The night breeze blows across the sacred fields.

It carries the fresh scent of herbs.

Ye Hui's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the silver blade.

"Holy crap! These guys actually evolved too?!"

Ye Hui couldn't help but complain.

Is this still available?

These vine-like beings, who could only hang far behind him before, have now learned to fly at low altitudes.

How can he happily "fleece" people in the future?
Suddenly, a system notification appeared.

[Your frequent entry into the Spirit Herb Minor World has disrupted its rules, caused unknown environmental changes, and suggests that the Guardian's abilities have improved. Please be aware.]

Ye Hui: “…”

So they're trying to pin the blame on him?

Besides, he's been in here for quite a while now, isn't it a bit late for you to give him a heads-up?
Besides, he only came in to cut some remnants of spiritual herbs.

How does that break the rules of the world?

Are the rules of the world so easy to break?

Moreover, the fragments of spiritual herbs that he cut off each time would automatically regenerate the next time he came in.

This idiotic system is certainly adept at shifting blame.

It's obvious why this kind of instance exists and why he can enter it.

The system must have done something.

But this guy is mentally challenged, so he might have interfered with or affected something.

That's what caused the vine-like people here to mutate!
While mentally complaining, Ye Hui observed the vine-like figures below.

Since they fly at low altitudes, it's not a big deal.

Just fly higher, and they'll always be out of their reach.

But gradually.

Ye Hui made another discovery.

The evolved Vine Man can slide higher and higher.

It looked like they could even catch up with him.

"This can't go on," Ye Hui frowned.

The vine-like people are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, and they're only wasting his time in the small world.

Originally, each session was only ten minutes long.

Not only do we need to select twenty kinds of medicinal fragments, but we also need to explore this world. We simply cannot afford to waste our resources.

Not to mention, who knows if these guys will evolve even more troublesome abilities next time?
Perhaps when they come back, they will be able to fly and even unleash wood-based spells.

Therefore, we must find a way to deal with these vine people.

Ye Hui stroked his chin, his gaze falling on the vine-man.

Although they are the guardians of the elixir, they are also part of this small world.

So what if... we also consider them as remnants of a miraculous medicine?

What would happen if I took it out?
Ye Hui thought about it more and more and felt that the idea was feasible.

He activated the newly acquired "Mysterious Formless" divine power.

He concealed all his aura.

Without needing an invisibility talisman, he moved silently like a shadow towards the vine-man behind him.

The vine-like figures also lost their target in an instant, and then froze in place, motionless, like green sculptures.

Ye Hui held his breath, reached out and grabbed a thick vine from the vine-man's body, and pulled hard.

"His-"

He forcibly tore a small section of vine off the vine-man.

The injured vine-man let out an angry roar.

The vines around it twisted violently, but unable to sense a target, they could only wave their arms wildly in place, futilely whipping the surrounding air, the branches and leaves colliding and making a rustling sound.

"Hahaha! What, are you trying to suck all the air out of my surroundings so I can't breathe?"

Ye Hui was very satisfied with the effect of this supernatural power, and then quickly rose into the air, looking down at the vine in his hand that was still covered with wet sap.

It only takes a few seconds.

Once separated from the main stem, the vines begin to turn yellow and wither, losing their vitality.

But he could still clearly sense that there was still some wood elemental energy remaining inside.

This shows that the idea of ​​taking the vines out as remnants of a medicinal herb is entirely feasible!
Ye Hui was delighted.

Using the same method, they plucked four more vines from the other vine people.

Take these back first and test them to see how they work.

He then carefully selected the remaining fifteen fragments of medicinal herbs from the herb patch.

soon.

The ten-minute exploration time is up.

Ye Hui's figure disappeared silently into the Spirit Medicine Small World.

Upon returning to the Void Spirit Field, he immediately opened his system inventory to check.

—Those few pieces of vine were indeed identified as remnants of a spiritual herb.

Successfully transformed into a seed!

Ye Hui's guess was correct!
【Blood Clotting Flower Seeds (Intermediate) *2】

【Yellow Spring Seed (Advanced) *3】

Just a few vines can transform into seeds of intermediate or higher quality.

This shows that these vine people are of a very high level!
"Hehehehe... Ah hehehehe!" Ye Hui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wouldn't he no longer have to rack his brains to figure out which fragment of the spiritual herb to cut?

Just take advantage of these vine-like people!

It's both effortless and quick!
Moreover, perhaps harvesting too much of them can slow down their evolution?

This kind of win-win situation is exactly what he wants.

……

the next day.

Kinomoto House.

Fujitaka and Touya were not there.

Only Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi lived at home.

Xiao Ke took the opportunity to run around and disappeared.

Sakura sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup in her hands.

Although he appeared to be chatting with Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, his eyes kept drifting out the window, clearly indicating that he was somewhat distracted.

Ye Hui noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "Xiaoying, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Did another Clow Card appear without his knowledge?

"Hmm, I must be dreaming again."

Sakura looked up, her face showing a hint of confusion, her brows furrowed slightly.

"I dreamed that I was standing under a tree, surrounded by many green fireflies, it was so beautiful."

Sakura recalled, "Then, I reached out and caught one of them."

"And then... I can't remember."

She looked at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, and said with some distress.

Just then, Kero popped out from behind the sofa, flapped its wings, and flew to Sakura's side.

“This is very likely a precognitive dream! Dreams are very important to people with magical powers, so you have to try your best to remember them.” It said, hands on its hips.

"It's all your fault!" Sakura glared at it. "If you hadn't scared me when you woke me up this morning, I might remember even more!"

"What?! You were the one who screamed as soon as you saw my face! I was just trying to wake you up! Even on summer vacation, you can't sleep in all the time!"

Xiao Ke hummed twice, trying to defend herself.

Then, it touched its chin with its paw, seemingly lost in thought.

"Speaking of which, I think I heard you say something like 'it must be'..."

Sakura scratched her head sheepishly: "I can't remember either..."

Kero muttered, "What an unreliable Cardcaptor Sakura!"

"Huh? I'm not being unreliable! It was just a dream, who would remember it so clearly after waking up!" Sakura immediately retorted, arguing her point.

The human and the beast resumed their daily bickering, their chatter filling the living room.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi sat aside and watched in tacit agreement, already used to this scene.

"Oh, Sakura is so energetic about everything," Ye Hui said with a smile.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, softly lifting the calendar hanging on the wall.

"Well, summer's almost over," Tomoyo said softly, glancing at the date on the calendar.

"Yes." Ye Hui nodded.

He remembered that Li Meiling had transferred to Youzhi Elementary School not long after the start of the new semester.

The Storm Card, an original anime design, has already appeared.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Meiling should also come.

It will probably be even more lively and exciting then.

"By the way! Speaking of which, has someone finished their summer homework yet?" Kero suddenly threw out a crucial question at Sakura.

"Huh?" Sakura turned to look at Kero, the light in her eyes instantly vanishing, and she could only feign ignorance with a dry laugh, "Hahahaha..."

Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Kawaii~!"

Ye Hui laughed, not exactly being kind.

—That attack from Xiao Ke was truly precise and deadly!
Even the most powerful Cardcaptor Sakura can't escape the arrest of summer homework!

"Um... um... ah! It's my turn to cook dinner today!"

Sakura clapped her hands and quickly changed the subject, running to the refrigerator to rummage for ingredients.

"What should I do..."

Xiao Ke watched her retreating figure, sighed, and crossed her arms: "It seems she'll wait until the last day of summer vacation to catch up on her homework."

Tomoyo tilted her head: "Sakura does this every holiday, she always cries to her friends in the last few days."

As she spoke, a nostalgic expression appeared on her face, and she looked at Ye Hui, "Student Ye will also have a chance to see it then."

Ye Hui laughed and said, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Sakura rummaged through the refrigerator, her eyes lighting up: "There's cabbage, and flour too."

"Okay! Let's make mixed stew tonight!" She put one hand on her hip and pointed to the ceiling with the other, full of enthusiasm.

Judging from her happy appearance, she had clearly forgotten all about summer vacation homework.

As soon as Xiao Ke heard about food, she stopped worrying about these things.

Anyway, I don't need it to do my homework.

Immediately, it flapped its wings and flew over, raising its two claws as well.

"Great! Omelette! I want the omelette with noodles!"

"Okay, okay, this one is good too." Sakura nodded.
