Chapter 107
Chapter 107 [demon card: pride]
Being praised as good-looking by a great beauty, regardless of whether it was true or false, Zhao Lin’s mood instantly improved a lot.
“Alright, I’ll leave right now.”
Having been given the cold shoulder, she didn’t feel upset. She briskly left, returned to her own Train, and continued acting like a mole hiding at home.
“Thank you.”
Monroe Gina expressed her thanks once again.
She waved her Staff-Sword, and a black card appeared in her hand, which she then handed over to Ye Qiyan.
“That candy just now must have been very precious. Take this, consider it a minor token of appreciation for saving me.”
[demon card: pride]
[Pride: No one is worthy of the right to pry into you]
[Devil: You are worthy of looking down on anyone]
This was a new Devil Card. Although its description was a bit inexplicable, it was still a new power nonetheless.
Ye Qiyan didn’t act coyly and directly put away this Devil Card.
“And this, you forgot to take it just now.”
The black box was once again handed in front of Ye Qiyan; it was precisely the complete seal she had obtained.
“Is it really alright to give this to me?”
Ye Qiyan did not reach out to take it.
He considered himself a relatively greedy person, but that didn’t mean he would take anything and everything.
Monroe Gina had almost lost her life for this box. Earlier, she gave it to him because she felt her time was running out, but now that she was still alive, there didn’t seem to be any need to hand the item over to him.
“It’s fine. Although I don’t know what’s inside, it must be precious enough. I don’t want to owe you a favor, and apart from this and that Devil Card, I can’t think of anything else that can be used to repay a life-saving grace.”
Ye Qiyan actually really wanted to say that getting one or two hundred Train Coins wouldn’t be bad either.
However, looking at Monroe Gina’s serious gaze, he swallowed those words back down.
Taking the box, the moment he touched it, the system identification triggered.
[Seal Box]
[A seal is stored inside the box, and within the seal is some unknown entity]
[After opening the box, the seal will be released and fixed in the current space. Closing the box will put the seal back inside.]
A box used to seal a seal, much like a Matryoshka doll.
“Then I’ll accept it.”
Because only special storage units could freely store or retrieve items, Ye Qiyan temporarily held the box in his arms.
“If you have the opportunity to open it and see what’s inside in the future, remember to tell me what it is.”
“Alright.”
The two of them made an agreement.
The grace of saving her life took root and sprouted in Monroe Gina’s heart. Even after giving those two things to Ye Qiyan, in her heart, the importance of her own life far exceeded those two items.
Repairing the Train, she silently watched Ye Qiyan chatting idly with Zhao Lin.
The Staff-Sword taped together in her hand spun gently.
A Ritual Card appeared at the tip of the sword.
This Ritual Card was engraved with chains. Part of them flickered slightly, but many more remained dim.
“Causality… is still far from enough. The grace of saving a life truly isn’t that easy to repay… However, it’s not all bad.”
Monroe Gina curved the corners of her lips and muttered to herself.
“Ye Qiyan… is truly a special person. No wonder he is so highly valued by that crazy woman Shaya. No, or rather, being able to rescue that crazy woman Shaya makes him very intriguing in his own right~”
————
order Court.
The highest point of Solomon City.
Inside the courtyard bound by chains to twelve stone pillars.
Zhu Xingtu knelt before the astrology disk, the endless stars within her eyes constantly flickering.
She closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes returning to their original appearance.
A mouthful of blood spewed out, staining the Astrology Platform red.
Beside her, Fan Huo, who was smoking a cigar and wearing sunglasses, said coldly:
“Dead?”
Zhu Xingtu gave a helpless smile.
“I won’t die. Tsk, you people are really something, always hoping I’ll drop dead.”
“Humans are inherently fighting against fate. Since you like to submit to fate, isn’t it completely normal to want you dead?”
Zhu Xingtu was noncommittal and did not refute Fan Huo’s words.
She wiped away the blood from the corners of her mouth, stroked her lips, and her eyes lit up.
“However, it’s getting more and more interesting. Smoker, do you know? Ever since I obtained that blasphemy card, I haven’t suffered from astrological backlash in a long time. Heehee, how interesting.”
Fan Huo frowned suspiciously.
“What on earth were you divining?”
Zhu Xingtu replied with a smile:
“Still trying to figure out who the owner of the latest blasphemy card is. Although it failed again, interestingly enough, I discovered a very fun matter.”
“What?”
“Hehe~ I’m not telling you.”
“Disgusting…”
Fan Huo withdrew his gaze, took a fierce drag from his cigar, and pulled a card out of his chest pocket.
“Stop doing useless things. Have you found the location of that Order Card?”
“Ah, sorry, sorry. Lately, whenever I pick up the astrology disk, I want to divine who that person is out of habit. Wait, I’ll find the location of the Order Card right now~”
“…You really are somewhat mentally ill.”
In less than ten seconds, Zhu Xingtu extended her hand and pointed in a certain direction.
“Smoker, tell the dragonsexual that the Order Card is located thirteen meters underground, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two meters away in this direction. There is an Altar there, and that Order Card is Peace. Find it quickly; that short Grand Judge should be coming back soon.”
Lighting his cigar.
Taking another fierce drag, Fan Huo raised a War Card in his hand high above his head.
A massive number of bombers appeared out of thin air, scorching the firmament, and continuously dropping a large amount of bombs onto the ground to cleanse the area.
In contrast, the blonde youth fighting others from Solomon City in mid-air whistled.
Several giant dragons of various colors surrounded him. He affectionately stroked the dragons, an unnatural flush rising on his face.
“Almost there, almost there. Once this matter is resolved, it might be possible to find you all a sister, hehe~”
The giant dragons roared and kept moving forward. However, just as they and the bombers in the sky reached the designated location—
Dragon breath and bombs fell continuously.
The ground was continuously bombarded until a deep crater appeared.
Inside the deep crater.
A pure white Altar was located right there.
Humming a certain tune, Zhu Xingtu sat on a white broom that looked like a writing brush, wearing a huge wide-brimmed hat, and flew above the crater.
“Order Card: Peace, aiyaya~ Goodness, we were clearly just here to attract attention, I really didn’t expect it to actually succeed. Hmm~ Is it because that short Grand Judge isn’t here~”
She rode her broom and flew inside, lightly tapping the barrier enveloping the Altar with a wand.
The barrier shattered. She picked up that Order Card and murmured softly~
