Chapter 482
Under Raiden Makoto's puzzled gaze, a warm golden radiance bloomed in Luo Li's smiling hands.
As the light gradually solidified, it revealed a golden object shaped like a cross.
Luo Li gently tossed the "Oath of Judah" into the air; in an instant, the Divine Key, crafted from the core of the Herrscher of Binding, expanded, forming a golden barrier that completely enveloped the main pavilion.
Above, countless mysterious runes and characters appeared, and golden chains stretched across the space.
Facing everyone's confused gazes, Luo Li explained: "Within this barrier, any transcendent abilities and elements cannot be used, including jujutsu and spells inherited from yokai. You can consider it an anti-magic barrier, myself included."
In his growth over these years, based on the Herrscher core and incorporating various abilities, the transcendent elements Luo Li wielded were no longer limited to Honkai energy.
Likewise, under the restraint of the Divine Grace Barrier, the seven elements of the Teyvat continent were also sealed.
"An anti-magic barrier, then? In that case, the punishment for cheating won't be of any use."
Raiden Makoto seemed somewhat disappointed, but quickly regained her spirits and said: "Very well, since that's the case, now that the punishment is removed, everyone must rely on luck and brainpower to play the game."
No one suspected Luo Li would cheat, because under the gaze of so many people, if he were caught cheating, the collective crusade that would follow would surely be something he couldn't withstand.
The others had no suspicions; it seemed they still trusted Luo Li in their hearts.
Feeling the warmth of being enveloped by the golden radiance, along with a faint sense of discipline, Raiden Ei frowned slightly, then relaxed.
This guy, when he fought her back then, he was indeed letting her win on purpose; otherwise, he could probably have ended the battle in an instant.
Although she knew he habitually hid his strength and had gone easy on her during their sparring, it had never been as obvious as it was now.
Glancing at Luo Li, who hadn't noticed her, Ei, feeling slightly dizzy from drinking so much, secretly gritted her teeth.
Hmph, the anger from before hadn't dissipated yet; she would take this opportunity to get revenge.
"Then, the game officially begins!"
As Raiden Makoto's voice fell, Chiyo was the first to reach out and grab a card.
She expectantly picked it up to look, and immediately her expression turned dejected.
It seemed it wasn't the "King."
The others took their turns, leaving only the last two cards for Luo Li.
Unhurriedly picking one of them, Luo Li didn't look at his card first, but scanned everyone else, only to find that everyone had a look of disappointment.
"Hmm? What a coincidence, could it be me on the first try?"
Discovering that everyone was looking at him, Luo Li raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head to look at his card, and it was indeed written with the word "King."
"Tsk, what a coincidence indeed."
What is called winning by lying down—what use was it to be fast in grabbing cards? The one laughing last was still him.
Seeing him flip his King card for everyone to see, Raiden Makoto chuckled: "Your Majesty the King, please issue your command now; you can have us do anything."
Luo Li stroked his chin and began to ponder; honestly, he hadn't prepared a command, but the surprise had come so suddenly.
Ei's heart tightened, her beautiful eyes pretending to glance at him casually, but who knew she would meet his burning gaze, and she quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Luo Li, who was thinking of a command, suddenly had an idea, the corners of his mouth curling into a mischievous smile: "I've got it."
Kitsune Saiguu half-hugged Miko and asked with interest: "Let us hear it, what kind of command is it to toy with us?"
Luo Li coughed lightly and said: "I once heard that shrine maidens have 'mouth-chewed sake' as an offering to the gods. Since there are several gods and shrine maidens here, why not demonstrate it on the spot?"
"Now that the wine is ready, and the gods and shrine maidens are ready, I'll just change the rules slightly and turn the mouth-chewed sake into a rule of mouth-to-mouth feeding."
Hearing him finish, everyone present blushed slightly, understanding instantly.
Luo Li said with ill intent: "I'll just throw out a brick to attract jade and test everyone's endurance."
Kitsune Saiguu was greatly encouraged and said with a smile: "Alright, I think this command is good. Your Majesty the King, do tell us the numbers—who does what to whom."
Luo Li scanned the women and spat out two numbers.
"Number five, hold the wine and feed it to number three."
Raiden Makoto said with a mix of surprise and helplessness: "Oh my, I am number five. I wonder who the other lucky one is."
As the words fell, Luo Li saw Ei's face turn bright red in an instant.
Hiss! No way?
Miko was the first to show her card, proving: "I am not number three!"
"Neither am I!"
Chiyo followed to state her identity.
Seeing everyone showing their number cards, Luo Li, who had a hunch, immediately flipped over the seventh card left on the table.
Number six!
"It seems it's not me either, so the remaining one..."
Everyone turned their gaze to Ei, who looked slightly on the verge of collapse.
The cold and noble Raiden Shogun was speechless, unable to hold her card for a moment, and it fell onto the table.
Number three!
The two protagonists were suddenly matched.
Raiden Makoto was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected the other one to be her own sister, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although everyone present was an acquaintance, if she had to perform with Saiguu, Chiyo, or Miko, it would indeed be a headache.
But if it were Luo Li or Ei, then there would be no problem.
"Ei, is it okay?"
Finding her sister picking up a cup of wine and asking her, Raiden Ei tensed her body and nodded, biting the bullet.
She couldn't be a sore loser.
If the object was her sister, she could accept it.
"Then I'm coming."
After confirming the object, Raiden Makoto, having abandoned her psychological burden, drank the wine and slowly approached the stiff Raiden Ei with a faint smile.
The others held their breath, watching this scene very seriously, not even blinking. ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
