Chapter 74: World Fragment and Guardian – Succubus Queen

“However, my mother died, and no one knows my secret.

Similarly, I was sent to the Pingcheng branch family like an orphan, growing up here from a young age, becoming inconspicuous among a bunch of children.

If it weren’t for my ranking in the academy and my innate talent, which made the family think I had great cultivation value, I wouldn’t have my current status.

If my secret were to be known, perhaps the entire world would fall into madness, so, is the weight of such a secret enough to guarantee?”

Xu Yourong spoke of her past very calmly.

Finally, she asked him.

Luo Sheng, hearing the crisp bell-like voice in his ear, pretended to be confused and said, “Huh? Did you say something just now?”

“Hmm?”

Xu Yourong narrowed her eyes.

Luo Sheng’s voice came again, “Maybe the wind was too strong, I didn’t hear clearly.”

She was about to question him.

But Luo Sheng beat her to it again, “Forget it, rather than chatting idly here, let’s deal with the world fragment first. This is ultimately a contaminated area, too dangerous. Your family is worried about you, don’t you think so, Miss Xu?”

He casually summoned a motorcycle.

Gently carrying her on his back, he sat on the motorcycle.

Twisting the throttle to the max, listening to the roaring engine, they headed north.

“You’re pretending not to know, is it because you don’t want to be involved… or do you want to protect me?”

Xu Yourong looked at Luo Sheng’s chiseled face in the rearview mirror and asked.

“…”

Luo Sheng continued to turn a deaf ear, appearing to be fully focused on driving the motorcycle.

Xu Yourong found it amusing yet helpless internally, but her face remained calm as still water.

“I don’t know whether to call you foolish or clever…”

Her delicate head rested slightly on his sturdy back.

Inwardly, she kept thinking he was interesting. A man who knows your biggest secret, very tactfully choosing to forget or pretend to be confused, isn’t that intriguing?

Is he a clever fool?

Or a foolish clever person?

Luo Sheng had no idea what she was imagining.

He only knew that he chose selective deafness, not wanting to bring trouble upon himself.

And he felt those alabaster arms tightening around his neck, making him a bit uncomfortable, “Ahem, don’t hold so tight, I’m still driving!”

Xu Yourong loosened her arms slightly, but her smooth, soft thighs clamped like holding a puppet.

Luo Sheng said more helplessly, “Miss, I’m driving here!”

“Your speed is too fast, it’s unstable.”

“…”

Luo Sheng was speechless, I’m driving a proper vehicle, Miss!

Unfortunately, it was useless to say more, after all, she was missing a part of her brain responsible for emotions, as the saying goes, “missing a screw”.

…

Along the way, Luo Sheng encountered many Card Master corpses.

They looked extremely miserable, with numerous wounds on their bodies, seemingly the result of being beaten by invading creatures.

Not only were their card boxes destroyed, but even their cards were all shattered into pieces without exception.

Of course, Luo Sheng also encountered a reconnaissance team of invading creatures on the road, a Bronze 6-star 【Ox Warrior】 and two Bronze 4-star 【Goat Archers】.

He easily dealt with them.

Luo Sheng felt like he had entered a zoo, are you sure this isn’t “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”?

Xu Yourong analyzed from the back of the motorcycle, “These invading creatures possess consciousness, which is extremely rare, but not without precedent. The destruction of Dragon City years ago was due to dimensional creatures possessing consciousness.

Under their conspiracy, Dragon City was destroyed.

Therefore, all city-states tightened their defenses against dimensional invasions. I speculate that the Card Alliance has discovered that the other dimension is challenging this world’s gray veil, that is, the world’s rules.

If the other dimension expands each time, it means their progress in eroding the world’s gray veil has increased.

The creatures born in the contaminated areas of the other dimension similarly possess more consciousness, just like your card girls.

Until they possess full consciousness, then the other dimensional world can be considered successful in contesting the main world.”

Her analysis was extremely reasonable.

Even Luo Sheng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

However, the part she slightly misjudged was that his card girls were actually enhancements, the result of exploiting loopholes in the world’s rules.

They were a compromise product of two worlds, so they wouldn’t harbor hostility towards the Card Master world.

Luo Sheng unconsciously asked, “They originally had their own world, why do they still want to invade our world?”

Xu Yourong pondered for a moment, “Because we are the main world and they are the sub-world. If they want to ascend their world, they must destroy the main world.

Or, there’s a mysterious force driving them. The backward world will inevitably be destroyed, so they can only conduct a world-level ascension for survival.”

Hiss… This woman is terrifyingly smart.

The more Luo Sheng thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

The logic loop was perfectly complete.

This could fully explain why the other dimensional world wanted to invade the Card Master world. As expected of a young lady possessing two spiritual jades, her analytical ability was first-class.

“We’re here.”

Xu Yourong said.

Luo Sheng immediately stopped the motorcycle.

He saw a earth spirit shrine in the distance, similar to the card pool in the academy.

It emitted a deep, ethereal light, inside which should be one of the world fragments of the demon realm.

However, sitting on top of it was a mature woman with black goat-like horns, small bat wings on her back, blue hair, wearing a black lace spaghetti strap dress, white gloves, and long boots, sitting very elegantly.

She exuded the mature aura that a noble should have, her rank should not be low.

Every part of her body interpreted “elegance”, truly a sexy sister.

“Is she beautiful?” Xu Yourong asked.

“It shouldn’t be like this. If she’s a mage, you shouldn’t be unable to defeat her, after all, your deck is assassin-based,” Luo Sheng immediately changed the subject.

He was quite skilled at this.

Xu Yourong rolled her eyes, then said, “You guessed wrong. Besides being a phantom ice mage, she’s also a powerful warrior, stronger than the Wild Boar General.”

“Huh?”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a good while.

Since when could succubi change professions?

Is it because this industry is too competitive, so she’s forced to take on a part-time job as a warrior?

Xu Yourong seemed to see through his thoughts and added, “If she relied on illusions, she might be easy to deal with, but her health is extremely thick, that’s why I was defeated by her.”

Xu Yourong’s deck was mainly assassin-based.

If you can’t quickly assassinate the opponent, you might be the one getting eliminated.

Coincidentally, the succubus mature woman in front of them was just such a strange creature, looking like a ranged magic type, but actually a close-combat fighter.

Especially with quite a few subordinates following her.

Such as ox warriors, goat archers, numbering about 50 to 60.

With such a large troop, plus the succubus mature woman originally being at silver rank, it would be difficult to conquer.

Luo Sheng frowned deeply.

The so-called world fragment was clearly a trap.

Seeing that he wanted to retreat, Xu Yourong persuaded, “As long as we plan properly, it’s not difficult to deal with them. I have confidence in you.”

“I hope so.”

“Let me see your cards, I’ll help you devise a strategy,” Xu Yourong said, extending her clean, soft hand.

Seeing her serious attitude without any unnecessary thoughts, and considering that she had already told him her biggest secret, Luo Sheng didn’t hide anything either. He directly took out his entire deck as follows:

White cards 【Open Door】【Cloud-Piercing Arrow】.

Bronze 4-star 【Crooked-necked Tree】【Deep Meditation】.

Bronze 5-star 【Golden Boy and Jade Girl】【Black Mask】【Charged Arrow】.

Bronze 6-star 【Spiritual Recovery】【Performer – Dongfang Muqing】.

Bronze 7-star 【E-Type Jack Mecha】【Holy Light Technique】【Angel’s Protection】【Violent Motorcycle】【Spiritual Recovery】x2 (borrowed).

Bronze 8-star 【Biomechanical Princess – Alice】【Thousand Gates Shield】【Holy Light Technique】【Ice Shield】【III Steel Mecha】.

Bronze 9-star 【Bridal Chamber – Bai Moxue】【Shadow of War – Hecarim】.

Bronze 10-star 【Raging Blizzard】【Fire Witch – Acoley】.

And the newly acquired Bronze 9-star 【Wild Boar General】, as well as several other miscellaneous cards such as 【Death God Overtime Worker】【Ox Warrior】【Pig-headed Warrior】and so on…
