Chapter 34. Moonlight Boss! Moonlight Lion Dancer!
You Feng frowned almost imperceptibly.
He really hadn't expected to be caught trying to climb over the wall.
Moreover, the woman in white in front of me... is clearly the one I met briefly at the street corner before.
How did she recognize me? All the contestants were wearing the same burqas.
A thought flickered in his mind, but he wore a blank expression, shook his head, and said with just the right amount of confusion in his voice, "That's strange. I don't know what you're talking about."
"Do we...know each other?"
The white-clad saintess did not dwell on this issue.
Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she could see through the feigned confusion, yet she tactfully refrained from pointing it out.
She simply raised her hand gracefully, and between her slender fingers, she found herself holding a card of a special texture that shimmered with a faint, luminous white light.
"This is the calling card of the Primordial Holy Land." Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring striking a secluded rock. "As you probably know, the Holy Land is the aspiration of countless duelists. Once you join, you will gain access to cultivation resources and guidance that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, which will be of immeasurable benefit to your future path."
With a flick of her fingertips, the name card floated steadily into the breeze.
"Therefore, the Primordial Holy Land cordially invites you to join us."
"I wonder...would you be interested?"
Youfeng reached out and caught it.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, neither gold nor paper, and one can vaguely feel a pure, almost ethereal quality that seems to emanate from nature. It is clearly a specially made anti-counterfeiting certificate, which also highlights the heritage of the sacred site.
He looked down and saw that the name card was written in elegant handwriting: Qin Chuyu, with a line of smaller characters below: Primordial Saintess.
"Qin Chuyu? The Primordial Saintess..." You Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of exaggerated admiration, "Incredible, it's actually a saintess who has come in person."
"Thank you for your kind offer." He casually put away the name card, his movements natural yet conveying a sense of aloofness. "I am truly flattered. I never imagined that a mere passerby like myself could catch the eye of this sacred place."
He spoke insincere, polite words as he turned around, waved casually, and walked straight to the other end of the alley without stopping.
Qin Chuyu stood there, watching his retreating figure without a backward glance, a faint hint of doubt flashing in her clear eyes.
They left, sighing with regret.
These words sound like flattery, but the tone and manner were clearly a perfunctory excuse.
What's even stranger is that the words "Primordial Holy Land" are enough to stir the hearts of most of the young talents on this continent, who would even go to great lengths to obtain them.
But this person's eyes remained calm, and although he said he was flattered, he ran faster than anyone else.
It was less of a surprise and more of an unavoidable situation.
"What an unfathomable fellow," she murmured to herself, her clothes fluttering slightly in the alley breeze.
……
After turning a few street corners and confirming that no one was following him, You Feng slowed down slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not discard the calling card, but carefully kept it.
The name of the Holy Land is legendary; this thing might actually come in handy someday.
With the agreed meeting time fast approaching, he quickened his pace and headed towards the area where personal card trading was taking place.
The market was still bustling, with tourists weaving through it, their sharp eyes scanning each stall.
With a million Dragon Coins as a base, he became much more generous with his spending. When he saw a single card that matched his strategy or had good potential, he almost never hesitated and bought it directly.
After a series of purchases, 580,000 of the million Dragon Coins that had just arrived were spent like water, in exchange for a heavy stack of new cards, enough to rebuild a powerful deck.
Among them were some rare general-purpose cards, many of which were clearly goods brought by Western merchants, allowing him to get some bargains.
Including the original 100,000, he now has 520,000 dragon coins left.
What pleased him even more was that the exhilarating victory in that duel had earned him a whopping 2500 DP! The smooth and overwhelming victory clearly earned him high praise from the system, resulting in a gain far exceeding his previous achievements.
At this moment, his total DP has exceeded 4000 DP.
Without hesitation, he opened the exchange interface, spent 3000 DP, and obtained the card he had long desired—[Moonlight Lion Princess]!
On the card, the agile figure of the beast princess seems to leap out, flowing with a power as cool and wild as moonlight.
The next target is naturally the big sister, [Moonlight Lion Goddess]! However, the requirement of 10000 DP means that he needs more victories and time.
Just as I was pondering this, a clear shout came from the side and front.
"Wandering Wind!"
Qin Xue pulled Ailiya along, jogging closer. Her pretty face was flushed with excitement from running, making her look incredibly cute.
"You're browsing here? Did you buy any good cards?" Qin Xue leaned closer, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Just browsing, didn't buy anything," You Feng replied vaguely, then immediately asked, "What about you guys? Didn't you buy anything?"
"We didn't even have time yet!" Qin Xue raised her voice, barely containing her excitement. "We just watched a super exciting arena duel! It's a pity we don't know who the duelist was; judging from his voice, he seemed very young... You didn't see it, he was unbelievably skilled!"
She gestured animatedly, exclaiming, "This is the first time I've ever seen such an intricate and complex development, yet he can execute it so quickly and flawlessly, like flowing water, as if that deck were an extension of his very being! It's absolutely amazing!"
Arya nodded in agreement, her tone filled with obvious regret: "Yes, that's the most regrettable thing. The dozen or so contestants who came out later, damn it, they had to wear the same robes to compete, so it was impossible to tell which one was which... I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see them again."
Upon hearing this, You Feng couldn't help but let a subtle smile curl up at the corner of his lips: "Oh? You want to see him that much?"
Qin Xue chuckled and mischievously nudged Aria with her elbow: "Sister Aria, you seem to have a crush on her, don't you? Of course you want to see her!"
"Xue'er! Don't talk nonsense!" Aria's pretty face immediately turned red as she hurriedly defended herself, but her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Seeing this, You Feng lazily put his hands behind his head, turned around and strolled towards the meeting point, leaving behind a nonchalant remark:
"How many dishes did you have to get so drunk?"
"It's as if just because you meet him, he'll be yours."
"Instead of wasting time fantasizing, you might as well go back and have more dreams."
Arya: "..."
She glared angrily at You Feng's leisurely back, speechless for a moment.
"This guy... how can his mouth be so infuriating!"
"You should learn from others. They've reached such a high level at such a young age. Look at you, all you do is spout nonsense. Humph!"
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Qin Xue couldn't help but laugh. She took her arm and followed her, their clear laughter echoing through the alley.
Qin Xue's laughter suddenly stopped. She raised her eyes and found that the Holy Maiden was looking in her direction from not far away.
"Is this the Holy Maiden?" Qin Xue seemed to have realized something.
