âI really didnât mean to, Iâm sorry, it was just an accident. I didnât expect your bathrobe to be so long,â Luo Sheng hurriedly explained, even making a gesture as if preparing to flee.
However, Qin Jianjia immediately covered herself with the bathrobe.
Her apricot-blossom eyes narrowed like a cheetah, as if locking onto her prey. She smirked coldly and said, âIs that so? If it wasnât intentional, why is your nose bleeding? How do you explain that?â
âIt started bleeding on its own, I couldnât control it at all.â
âSo youâre saying youâve actually fantasized about this before, right?â
âItâs a conditioned reflex. Besides, youâre so beautiful, if I didnât have some impure thoughts, Iâd be less than a beast,â Luo Sheng continued to explain hastily.
He couldnât help but recall a story about a man and a woman alone under an eaves.
The woman told the man, âIf you dare to do anything to me tonight, youâre a beast.â
The man took it to heart, so he behaved properly all night without any inappropriate actions. However, the next day, the woman was still angry. When the man asked why, the woman explained, âYouâre not even as good as a beast!â
Unfortunately, Luo Shengâs current explanation was just as weak and unconvincing.
Qin Jianjiaâs face had turned red at some point, like the rising sun at dawn, so strikingly red.
The memory-erasing stick, like a sharp sword, swung towards Luo Shengâs head.
At this moment, Luo Sheng was no longer his former self. After merging with ăMagic Path Youthă, his strength, physical abilities, and agility had all greatly improved.
In the instant Qin Jianjia attacked, he performed Jackie Chanâs signature backflip, perfectly dodging her strike.
âIâve already said, I didnât mean to,â Luo Sheng said, feeling very helpless.
Especially when he was able to dodge Qin Jianjiaâs attack, his courage grew even more. âAt worst, Iâll let you see me back. No girl has ever seen my body before, youâd be the first. You should be happy about that.â
Qin Jianjia frowned, seeming even more angry.
She used the ability of her imprinted card, and an elegant immortal aura spread out.
Luo Sheng saw her black silk gradually transform into cyan-blue hair, three vermilion dots appeared on her forehead, and her phoenix eyes were framed by willow-leaf eyebrows. A mix of soft and strong immortal aura continuously emanated from her body, slightly lifting her bathrobe.
Her delicate hand lightly drew a long staff from her waist, making the signature move of a female sword master.
âCanât we talk this out? Why resort to violence?â
While Luo Sheng was trying to persuade her verbally, he was secretly observing her changes, vaguely guessing that she must have merged with a female sword immortal card.
âHmph, it wonât hurt much. Iâll just make you forget what happened today.â
Qin Jianjia said coldly, frantically swinging her sword at him, thrusting, swinging, chopping, and uppercutting with an endless array of moves.
But Luo Sheng was no weakling either. He jumped left and right, performing various flips and side flips to dodge her attacks. His inner anger was also building up, âMy patience has limits. This was just an accident, donât force me to fight back.â
As he spoke, he activated the ability of his imprinted card.You are reading on novelping dot com, the official source.
Similarly, a powerful aura appeared. Since Luo Sheng had chosen the magic cultivation body, a fierce aura flickered in and out of existence.
Then the two burst into battle. In the instant they clashed, Luo Sheng gained the upper hand through sheer strength.
He directly pinned Qin Jianjia to the floor, his legs tightly clamping her waist to prevent her from resisting, and pressed down on her arms to stop her from attacking him further. Luo Sheng didnât want to hit her, he just feared pain and didnât want to get hurt himself.
âCan you calm down now?â
Luo Shengâs eyes stared into hers, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Qin Jianjia lay on the ground, staring blankly at him without saying a word, just looking into Luo Shengâs eyes for a few seconds.
She gently raised her elbow, holding the stick in her hand, and softly tapped Luo Shengâs head. With a crisp âpopâ sound, Luo Sheng immediately felt dizzy.
âWhat kind of stick is thisâŚâ
He felt no pain, just a light tap on his head, but that single tap made his whole world spin, as if he had been given anesthesia.
His eyelids grew heavy and closed, then his entire body fell unconsciously onto Qin Jianjia, falling into a deep sleep.
Qin Jianjia shook her head helplessly and turned the wooden stick back into a card, putting it away.
At this moment, Luo Sheng was heavily pressing down on her body like a rock. Qin Jianjiaâs face still had a slight blush, especially when she heard his breathing so close to her, it left her at a loss for what to do.
She could only laboriously lift him up, rub Luo Shengâs head, and finally throw him onto the sofa.
Luo Sheng looked like a sleeping beauty, breathing steadily. Qin Jianjia smoothed her soft hair, quietly gazing at his face, her fingertips also touching it briefly. The corners of her mouth revealed a faint smile.
After caressing for about 2 minutes, Qin Jianjia sneezed.
Only then did she wrap her bathrobe tighter and hurriedly return to her room to continue her hot bath.
However, she was tightly gripping the ăDeep Meditationă card in her hand, then carefully placed it in her card box.
âŚâŚ
âŚâŚ
Luo Sheng opened his hazy eyes to find that at some point, sunlight had started shining on his face.
âHuh? When did I fall asleep again?â He rubbed his head, feeling groggy as if he had been drunk.
After a moment, he remembered that he had been enhancing Acoley earlier.
So he opened his card box and found that both ăAcoleyă and ăWind Magic Dragonă were still there.New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
He immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Just as he was getting up, he noticed Qin Jianjia sitting nearby, putting on her stockings and tying her shoelaces, dressed in a black outfit for going out.
âYouâre awake⌠Thereâs porridge I made last night in the fridge, just heat it up in the microwave,â Qin Jianjia said casually.
Then she stood up, the previously sunken sofa springing back to its original position. She walked out of the apartment with nimble steps, leaving Luo Sheng alone, scratching his head, completely unaware of what had happened the night before.
He was even more unclear about why he had slept on the sofa.
But not long after Qin Jianjia left, the apartment door opened again.
Wang Keai walked in from outside, wearing lolita shoes and still dressed in a pink-themed dress, looking like an adorable little princess.
Seeing Luo Shengâs confused, just-woken-up face, she asked with a puzzled expression, âYou slept on the sofa last night?â
âI guess so?â Luo Sheng replied uncertainly.
âWhat do you mean âI guess soâ? Donât tell me you even forgot where you slept yesterday?â Wang Keai put her hands on her hips, looking like a housewife. Then she changed the subject, âAnyway, get up quickly, or weâll be late.â
Luo Sheng furrowed his brow slightly.
He looked at Wang Keai with a confused expression, then asked, âIs there something going on today?â
âDonât tell me you didnât see the notice?â
Wang Keai pointed at her phone, brightened the screen, opened its contents, and finally found a message. She put it in Luo Shengâs hand and continued, âThe Mechanical City outside the suburbs of Pingcheng has worsened, and it has now spread to the border of the suburbs, even submerging many villages. The academy is gathering people now.â
As Luo Sheng listened to her, he looked through the content on the phone.
The academy was calling for Card Masters ranked Bronze 8-star and above to gather at the outskirts of the Mechanical City, preparing to start conquering it. This was promoted by the Card Alliance.
The purpose was to cultivate a large number of Card Master talents, to make up for the loss of Card Masters in Pingcheng due to the riots that occurred previously in the black market and prison.
It would also solve the troublesome invasion event of the otherworldly Mechanical City.
This time, the rewards offered by the Card Alliance and the academy were not low.
Whoever got the world fragment first would receive a reward of 30 Card Coins from the Card Alliance, as well as two chances to draw cards of Silver 5-star or above from the academy.
The rewards for second and third place were equally generous.
They would receive 20 and 14 Card Coins respectively, with two chances to draw cards, with the lower limit of card ranks being Silver 1-star and Bronze 9-star.
Of course, besides these rewards, Card Masters would be given priority for admission to Card Universities. They would also gain corresponding status in Pingcheng, with priority rights for handling events in Pingcheng.
This meant that in Pingcheng, Card Masters would have certain privileges. If they encountered any issues, Pingchengâs resources would prioritize helping them. For example, if they lost something or needed any kind of assistance, Pingcheng would prioritize solving it for them. Their safety would also be guaranteed to a certain extent. They would become key cultivation targets for Pingcheng, and at that time, not only the academy but also the Pingcheng branch of the Card Alliance would cultivate them.
Luo Shengâs eyes suddenly lit up. For him, this was an enormous temptation.
