The Title Lady Went to Play Cards with the Author

A certain arid region—

The village chief removed the idol he had worshipped last month, took out a statue of the Crimson Kite Immortal (or something similar) he had bought from Shenzhou from a delivery box, and offered it as a prayer. "Revered God, please have pity on us and send some rain..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick, turbulent column of water descended from the sky, nourishing the cracked earth.

The village chief and villagers were dumbfounded. "Wow, Shenzhou is so useful! We don't need to change the statues this month!"

Note: This statue is the same as the Crimson Kite Immortal that Brother Dawei displayed.

In the manor, which will be renamed Luming's Courtyard in the future, Kane and Cosmo hurriedly carried a large amount of food to the table for Stardust and Haiyi to eat. Come on, whether Earth's water shortage problem can be solved depends on you!

Haiyi's ability: He can create Water Element out of thin air, but he loses his magic when he is hungry.

One was releasing water, and the other was opening a water hole. Xing, who was accompanying Brother Jie and taking care of the children in the garden, said that this added another glorious chapter to her charitable career.

The day I brought Haiyi home—

The Magical Girl Lady flew out of the swimming pool, and thanks to the Force Field, not even her socks got wet. As for the two people next to her—

Stardust happily splashed water, Haiyi, despite her complaints, was still happy to be in the water, though she felt her head getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, the transformation was broken, and the pink jellyfish on Haiyi's head grew larger and larger as it absorbed water, until it pushed Haiyi into the water.

What? Why didn't Xing go to save people? Please, Haiyi is the embodiment of the Water Element. Have you ever seen Thor die from being struck by lightning?

Brother Jie had just returned from trimming the flowers and when he saw the giant jellyfish, his eyelids twitched. "Witch, where did you get such a big jellyfish? Oh well, we'll just have cold Jellyfish Silk tonight!"

Haiyi's face turned deathly pale with fright. The jellyfish sprayed out all the water it had sucked up earlier. "Don't eat me!!!"

"Damn it, you brought someone back again? And you didn't even tell me beforehand?!" Brother Jie angrily pressed down on Idol Lady's face and gently rubbed it. "Didn't you do something wrong?!"

"I'm so happy..." Xing mumbled, pinching Kalpas's cheek in a huff.

The two sisters next to them looked at each other in bewilderment. Stardust scooped Haiyi up and took her to sunbathe and dry.

Wendy, who was picking up the Arin Sisters, saw the newcomer Haiyi and her face immediately darkened. She had a bad feeling when she saw that Sing had disappeared; sure enough, she was bringing back another girl!

Brother Xing, next time you should just focus on seducing boys!

Kane and Cosmo, who were sparring, suddenly sneezed.

"Not bad!"

"...(Strange, what is that feeling that I feel so familiar with about him?) You are strong too."

The Chainsaw and the sword rubbed together, sparking countless fires. In the shadows, Cosmo saw in Kane the image of a Flame-Chasers wielding the Greatsword Heavenly Fire, bearing everything alone.

Little Griseo was drawing in her and Cosmo's room, while Jilin secretly peeked through the crack in the door, sketching on his own canvas.

Her physical body hadn't completely perished; by attaching her soul to the Xuanyuan Sword, she could move freely in the real world as an "Armed Doll," but at a price. If this body were destroyed, the girl named Jilin would also perish—

Even the soul.

"(Oh! So that place can be drawn like this!)" Miss Yellow Emperor, who had been completely turned into a homebody by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, excitedly sketched on her drawing board. I hope she can draw something serious... By the way, what does Griseo want to draw now?

"Luming Sister... Sister Pardo... They seem like a good match, and Luming Sister with Uncle Kalpas, Kane, ah, Cosmo is also a good match... Sister Luming is so nice..."

Griseo, what are you doing?!

(This is just a drawing of Sachi and the others' daily interactions. If you're thinking dirty thoughts, write "Love Gate" a hundred times.)

After tidying up Haiyi's room, Xing bought a lot of fish fry and raised them in the large fish tank in the courtyard. He also asked the designer to renovate the little jellyfish's room so that she could feel the atmosphere of the sea even on land.

However, Haiyi has become very clingy to her, which makes Xing uncomfortable, thankfully not as clingy as Stardust. Recently Rosalia and the others have also been sent to Bronya's place, supposedly for idol training... Why do I feel like you sent them to spy on Wendy?

Before Wendy brought Arin Sisters back—

Bang!!!

The pink and blue twin swords unleashed a barrage of arrows. Rosalia, sweating profusely, stared at the dense array of arrows embedded around her and her sister. "Hey, do you want to kill us?"

Lobster Doctor, you bastard! I asked you to make us a motorcycle, and you made us scooters instead, saying we're too young... Why Seele and the others, who are about the same age as us, have motorcycles?!

(Because Black Seele forced Tesla to do it by pressing her claws against Tesla's neck.)

Wendy tried to transform and fight back, but Wendy directly manipulated the airflow to sweep away the memory. Just as Wendy was feeling smug, Rosalia coldly put on the Ex-Aid Driver.

"Didn't expect that, did you? We still have a belt! Liliya, bring out our full bottle!"

"You idiot Rosalia, wasn't that a gift for Brother Xing?" Liliya tapped her silly older sister's head speechlessly.

Wendy almost burst out laughing. She manipulated the airflow to return the memory to them. Well, assessment complete, these two clowns pose no threat to her.

(Are you sure? These two brats are just as capable of causing trouble as the Fruit Warriors!)

The children who came to the manor for the weekend were very happy because there were two older brothers and many pretty older sisters, as well as several small animals.

"Uncle! Is this bear yours?" Xiao Yao asked Kalpas, who was standing to the side, curiously, as she rode on the head of the Guotie that was forced to work.

Kalpas glanced at the Guotie painted as a black bear and leisurely replied, "It's raised by your Luming Sister. Don't be afraid, this bear won't hurt anyone. Feel free to touch it. If it dares to resist, I'll chop off its paws!"

Guobao looked at Kalpas with a pitiful expression, and in that instant, he was condemned by his conscience.

"What are you looking at? It's lunchtime! If you don't finish your food, I'll steam you, braise you, stew you, or marinate you!"

A panda mother with her cub at the Changkong City Zoo looked up at the sky, wondering if she had another cub. "Oh well," she thought, "Trading a bunch of sausages for one cub isn't a bad deal, I'll just give it to her."

—On the Reasons for the Scarcity of Giant Pandas—

As November arrived and the temperature gradually cooled down, Brother Jie very considerately opened the hot spring house behind the manor, but he needed a few laborers to help him start the fire.

As a result, the male residents were naturally captured by Brother Jie. Although Xing offered to help, he was grabbed like a chick by Kalpas Jie and thrown into a group of lolis.

"Witch, have some self-awareness! Look at your skinny arms, what kind of work can you do!"

Well, becoming a girl brings a lot of privileges. At first, I wasn't used to it, but I gradually got used to it.

Soaking in the women's bath, deliberately keeping her distance from Wendy and the others, Luming Lady thought to herself.

"Brother Xing ~" Wendy, her eyes sparkling with hearts, swam over from afar. "Come on, let me give you a massage to help you relax~"

Before Sachi could respond, a flash of pink light appeared, Yae Sakura, wrapped in a bath towel, stood between Wendy and her, embracing her lover as if asserting her ownership. To Wendy's blood pressure soar, this scumbag actually gave her a deep kiss right in front of her, making the Herrscher of Wind so angry that she almost ascended to heaven.

"You vixen! Let go of my Brother Xing!!!"

Yae Sakura released Luming Lady, whose eyes were sparkling with hearts, licked her lips as if savoring the moment, and gave Wendy a meaningful look. "As expected, she didn't tell you."

"What did you say?" Noticing the wicked smile on the Miko's lips, Wendy suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, Sachi has already given it to me, proof that I belong to the main wife~" Yae Sakura smiled mischievously, extending one finger, making a fist with her other hand, and then inserting her finger into the gap of her fist.

Wendy, I understand.

Wendy, whose outer black hair had turned green, seemed to have lost the will to live and sank into the water. Fortunately, she was quickly rescued and comforted as the girl sobbed on her shoulder.

Well, I won't go into details about how I "appeased" him.

After a while--

Wendy, whose green hair had turned back to black, swam away contentedly. Luming Lady patted her throbbing brain. She had done it, her first time with her lover, and it was with a girl's body... Suddenly, she didn't want to live anymore.

What's wrong with Wendy today? It's her first time doing something like this, so why is she so... joyful?

The Arin Sisters soaking in the water in the distance—

"Liliya, I don't know why, but I feel so hot."

"Idiot, of course it's hot when you soak in a hot spring."

"But I feel so hot inside... Liliya, you look so cute today..."

"Idiot, you idiot! What nonsense are you spouting? Have you lost your mind?"

"Huff, huff, I'm so hot, Liliya, can you help me?"

"I'm hot too... How can I help you?"

That day, the already deep bond between the Geminis deepened further, though how it deepened...

Look, aren't those lilies in the distance beautiful?

With most of her body submerged in the water, Luming Lady stared at the pink liquid spreading from her body and fell into deep thought. "When will I be able to secrete X-rays? I didn't have any when I was soaking in the hot spring before. Is it because Teacher, as the Herrscher of Reason, has a better resistance?"

PS: Soaking for a short while won't have any effect on the amount of medicine, but if you soak for too long... Luming Lady's bathwater will become a super potent aphrodisiac.

Hearing the faint moans coming from beside her, Xing blushed, feeling both scared and relieved. She was relieved that everyone in the hot spring was someone she knew, but she was also scared that if she had been in a public hot spring, she wouldn't have been able to imagine the consequences.

I'll go to the bar alone next time...

Just as Luming Lady was about to get up and leave, bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water beside her. Before she could investigate, a mischievous little jellyfish rushed out of the water and splashed her face with water.

Helplessly brushing the strands of hair stuck to her face, Xing patted Haiyi's head and gave her a reproachful look. Haiyi playfully stuck out her tongue at her and dived into the water to look for her next target, only to be grabbed and pulled back by Xing.

I feel like I'm starting to resemble Mom Hua more and more. Is that just my imagination?

She grabbed the little jellyfish and squeezed it hard a few times, and then she gave up because she was too tired. Tickling is indeed a tried and true magic trick!

However, it seems that Haiyi was not affected by her bathwater. Do the Five-Dimensional Sisters have resistance to abnormal states?

Just as Xingzheng was thinking, the mischievous Stardust splashed out of the water, splashing her face again. Under Haiyi's gloating gaze, Luming Lady, with a dark expression, grabbed Stardust and tickled her armpits with her nimble fingers.

In an instant, the girls' joyful laughter filled the entire hot spring.

The three grown men in the men's bath next door looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.

Strictly speaking, Sachi actually quite enjoys taking baths with the girls, cough, not because of her tomboyish side, but because...

Come on, would you choose a petite, gentle, and lovely girl or a tall, muscular, and strong man?

Of course, it wouldn't be impossible to switch the characteristics of the two sides... cough cough, I'm getting off topic.

Originally, Yukio wanted to go to the hot springs with her best friend Kane after regaining her male form, and have a pleasant conversation like Otto Joyce. But now she thinks better of it. Her male form is quite cute, and with the Charm Buff that have been strengthened multiple times, it would be a real hardship for Julia if she turned Kane gay.

Kane and Cosmo exchanged a glance. The two children stared curiously at the mask on Kalpas's face. They were really curious about what Brother Jie looked like. It seemed like he never wore a mask, not even when he took a bath.

But then they looked at Brother Jie's massive muscles... No, his purity was too high.

Kane considered asking Luming later; perhaps she could help.

Back here, Xing and Haiyi talked about meeting her in the underwater ancient city a few days ago. When they talked about the huge jellyfish outside, Haiyi's eyes darkened. She took the jellyfish off her head and told her about the past she saw in the staff.

(This story is adapted by the author from Haiyi's PV)

Atlantis was once her kingdom, before it sank into the deep sea.

However, a giant jellyfish suddenly attacked the city. Haiyi fought it for a long time. Perhaps because water-based magic was previously immune to each other, Haiyi, a mage, had difficulty damaging it, but the giant jellyfish seemed to have high physical damage.

"I won in the end, but at a great cost." Haiyi removed the jellyfish from her head, her eyes filled with resentment.

Um, couldn't you ask your fire-elemental second sister, Chi Yu, for help? Was Chi Yu busy at the time, or were you too embarrassed to ask her?

Although Haiyi won, it was only a temporary victory. To Still Water from attacking again, she set up a huge barrier around the city, using the ocean as its energy source, to protect Atlantis.

"... I can't remember much. What happened after that, why my territory sank to the bottom of the sea, and how I fell into a deep sleep—I can't remember any of these things." Haiyi covered his head, his eyes filled with reminiscence and sorrow.

Xing and Xingchen exchanged a glance, tacitly reaching a consensus, and silently stayed by Haiyi's side, letting her vent her emotions.

"... I can understand how you feel a little. A friend of mine lost her island too, though it wasn't as big as yours... but she got back on her feet quickly. Haiyi, don't cry. Maybe I can help you bring Atlantis back to the island in the future."

"Really?!"

"Yes, really!"

In the steamy hot spring, thanks to the promise made with Haiyi, the little jellyfish was freed from its gloom and regained its usual liveliness.

Natasha Siola, missing her little one in the bar, suddenly sneezed.

——The Card Gate——

Idol Lady, who rarely has time to go to school, sat listlessly in her seat. Good heavens, she clearly knows all of this knowledge, so why does she still need to come to class?

I've already finished all the advanced courses at the St. Freya Academy!

PS: Because Sachi added a lot of points to her intelligence when creating her character, coupled with her excellent innate genes and repeated enhancements, she learns everything very quickly. Oh, by the way, Sachi was quite timid when she was studying at the St. Freya Academy...

The volumes vary in level. Just look at how many monsters and demons are in Xing's current battle record. Fortunately, this is not the Ultraman Xing branch, otherwise the author would have given him a dungeon even more terrifying General Trigger!

"Luming... um, would you like to play that really popular card Yugi with us?" A timid girl, encouraged by her friend, stepped forward and tentatively asked.

Although Luming gave them a very aloof first impression, fans who watched the live stream know that Luming is actually a warm-hearted and kind girl.

(Luckily: No, I'm not!)

Moreover, when the crew of Luming's film came here to gather material a few days ago, the whole class made a cameo appearance in a scene from the first episode of "The Rise of Phantom Thief Luming". Although none of us are short of money, it was still a novel experience, hehe!

"What Yugi?" Luming's ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) stood up. Genius Gamer X is never afraid of any challenge. Come on!

The girl excitedly pulled a box of cards out of her pocket. "This is it! Konami recently launched new rules for Speed Duel, and there are new cards too. Did you know, Luming?"

"Of course I know, they even asked me to shoot a promotional ad yesterday... cough cough, I guess I can't say that." The Idol Lady belatedly covered her mouth, which amused her classmates and also brought them closer.

"Let's play together!"

"I'll provide the venue! By the way, does Luming have a deck? If not, I can borrow it..."

"Yes!" Luming Lady took out a deluxe card case from her bag. "They gave it to me after the commercial shoot, so I'll use this one!"

The card-playing students were all stunned. If they weren't mistaken, that looked like the supreme deluxe card set released at the press conference? The kind that's priceless and unavailable; there were probably only a handful of people in the entire class, or even the entire school, who had one!

Since the box is like this, then the deck...

The duelists swallowed hard and instinctively put their card cases away.

"I'll go!" A hothead volunteered to go up and die... no, to challenge!

Duel!

Speed Duel Rules - You Hui Modified:

There are 5 main monster zones and 5 magic/trap zones; the EX Zone has been removed.

Both players have LP of 4000. The player whose LP reaches zero first loses the duel, but there are also special ways to win.

You start with 5 cards in your hand. You draw one card each turn during the draw phase. You can draw a card if you go first.

Each player may perform one Normal Summon per turn, but there is no limit to the number of Special Summons.

At the same time, previously released cards cannot be used in Speed Duel; only re-sold Speed Duel cards can be used.

You can make some guesses based on the card illustration and the specific circumstances—if the intention to cheat is too obvious, you will be judged as losing.

In short, let's bring back the Yu-Gi-Oh! -Oh! environment to its First Generation and experience those thrilling duels once again!

Go ahead and use a limited deck to create infinite possibilities. Even if your opponent's life points are as low as a candle in the wind, don't be careless, because you never know what kind of card they will draw next.

Alright, after all that talk, I'm sure you duelists are getting impatient. So let's begin—

"My turn, draw a card!"

My classmate summoned a monster face-down, set five cards face-down, and ended his turn immediately, then confidently ended his turn.

The audience members nearby whispered among themselves:

"I remember now, this guy plays the heavy pit build."

"Exactly, exactly. You really screwed me over badly. No wonder you dared to challenge Luming."

Idol Lady blinked, drew her card, pondered for a second, and then showed him her hand.

"The card I drew is— The Exodia the Forbidden!"

Old Ai's six—no, five—part cards were neatly arranged in the girl's hand. At first, there was complete silence around her, then a long and enthusiastic cheer erupted.

"My god, I was so surprised to see Exodia show his true strength in Speed Duel! Hey, did you record it?!"

"How small is the probability of Exodia in the second round... Luming's luck is ridiculous."

"No!!! I haven't used my Torrential Tribute, Forced Requisition, Winds of the Lost... or even the Marshmallon I used!"

Upon hearing classmate A's wailing, the cheering classmates around him fell silent, and pairs of murderous eyes stared at him.

Luming Lady elegantly put away her deck, leaned against the table, and rested her chin on her hand. "Fellow duelists, before you all collectively condemn me for being a swindler, how about we beat up this bastard who plays dirty tricks first?"

"I second that!" ×N

"Wait! Luming also has a card... Don't hit me!"
