The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 577 Crystal Maze
"I say, you two, just staring at each other like that, don't you feel tired?"

In response to Xiaoying's request for help, Xia Yu quietly made an OK gesture to her, and then he directly complained to the two people who were staring at each other.

Hearing this complaint, Touya and Li Syaoran turned their heads to look at Xia Yu at the same time. Facing their gazes, Xia Yu spread out his hands and said indifferently.

"What? Are you staring at me again? Do you have so much free time?"

"..."×2
"Humph!"

Touya was the first to look away and snorted, "I'm not as idle as you guys. I still have to continue picking up trash."

After saying that, he played with the trash tongs in his hand, put all the trash on the lunch cloth into the bag, and left with the trash bag.

But before leaving, Touya suddenly turned back and glanced at Li Xiaolang who was kneeling upright on the ground, as if giving a silent warning.

Touya: (_)
After silently warning Li Xiaolang with his eyes, he left with satisfaction.

Seeing her brother leave, Xiaoying felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiaolang beside her saw this and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I don't know what expression to show to your brother, so I kept a blank expression."

After saying this, he suddenly realized what was happening and quickly looked at Touya's back as he left: "Oops, I forgot to say hello..."

"it does not matter."

Sakura shook her head gently and consoled him, "It's all because my brother has a stern face. Did that scare you, Syaoran?"

"It's okay. My attitude isn't bad. After all, I'm talking to Sakura, you, you..."

At this point, Li Xiaolang blushed and stammered, "Hand it over, hand it over..."

"pay?"

"Intercourse!"

After saying the word with a flushed face, Li Syaoran lowered his head deeply. Xiaoying was stunned for a moment and also lowered her head with a red face.

Xia Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, saw the two people bowing their heads simultaneously and sighed deeply, "Oh my God... Just a relationship can be said to be so difficult. It makes me, a bystander, feel tired."

"Haha~ After all, classmate Li is such a person." Zhishi covered his mouth and chuckled, then quietly took out his mobile phone to record the scene in front of him.

It’s great that technology is so advanced. She doesn’t need to carry a camera with her anymore. She can record clear images anytime and anywhere with just a mobile phone.

The two did not deliberately avoid Sakura and Li Syaoran in their conversation. After hearing these words, Sakura and Li Syaoran lowered their heads even more.

However, in the next moment, the temperature suddenly changed strangely. Xia Yu, who felt it first, frowned and couldn't help looking up at the sky.

"This weather...did the temperature of the sun suddenly get higher?"

"Sunlight?"

Zhi Shi heard this and silently stretched out the back of her hand to feel the temperature of the sun. After a few seconds, she said in surprise: "Really? It seems to be a little warmer than at the beginning."

Xia Yu frowned slightly and stared at the sun in the sky. The sun was still the same sun, but the weather seemed to have changed strangely.

"What's wrong? What got taller?"

Sakura, with a blush on her face, looked up. Although Li Syaoran didn't say anything, he also paid attention to her.

"It's the weather. The temperature of the sun has suddenly increased."

Xia Yu withdrew his gaze from the sky, looked at Xiaoying again and asked: "Xiaoying, are you too shy and subconsciously changed the weather?"

"Huh? Did I change the weather subconsciously?" Sakura was shocked. Just as she reacted, the surroundings changed again.

The green lawn began to twist from the center. The sun hanging in the sky emitted a dazzling white light. Under the strong light, several people subconsciously squinted their eyes.

Suddenly, a sound of crystal shattering was heard out of nowhere. As the sound spread, the dazzling white light gradually dimmed, and the people who had closed their eyes opened them again.

When their vision became clear again, they looked around with shock on their faces. They had unknowingly come to an unknown place.

This place is made up of transparent crystals on all sides. The ground under your feet is no longer soft grass, but crystal sand covered with broken diamonds.

The sunlight in the sky was still as dazzling as ever, and under the refraction of the crystal, the temperature had slightly risen a few degrees.

Looking at the suddenly changed scene, Xiaoying looked around in surprise and couldn't help asking: "Where is this? How did we suddenly get here?"

"Is this perhaps... a maze?"

Li Xiaolang approached the crystal wall and knocked on it with his hand. Although the crystals that made up the wall were transparent, there were no conspicuous landmarks, so he didn't know where to leave for a moment.

"Maze? Why is it another maze?"

Sakura couldn't help but frown. How many mazes had she encountered? Why did she create another maze when her magic power went out of control?

"It seems that I can only follow the maze to find the exit. I hope it will be successful this time." Li Xiaolang looked around and put his hand on the transparent wall, trying to walk out of here first.

"Why do we have to follow the rules? Can't we just destroy the maze?"

Xia Yu glanced at Li Xiaolang, clenched his fist, and grinned: "It was fine to follow the rules when you didn't have power, but now that you have power, you still have to follow the rules. Isn't it a waste of this power?"

Recalling that when they were still primary school students, the maze formed by the puzzle cards also trapped them. He also planned to use his strength to break through the maze and escape.

However, he did not have enough strength at that time, and he could not overcome the maze despite his best efforts. He could only give up and wait for others to rescue him.

After that, he entered junior high school. Not long after the first semester, he and Sakura encountered a maze again, a more powerful maze from another dimension.

At that time, he was able to break through the dimensional space with brute force. Could it be that he couldn't do it this time? Although the walls of the maze had become harder crystal this time, crystals were not unbreakable.

"Let this suddenly appearing maze show you what One Punch Man is!"

Xia Yu took a breath to gather his strength. Seeing this, Xiaoying and the others jogged away from Xia Yu to avoid being affected.

Boom——!
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky and struck Xia Yu in public. Xiaoying and the other two who were far away were stunned. How could he be struck by thunder for no reason?

Is he accumulating strength? Is he planning to incorporate thunder into his attack?
But why did his hair get blown up and his face get blackened?
Xia Yu: "..."

Xia Yu remained in his position, opened his mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke. He silently reached out and pressed his afro down, but his afro was very elastic and bounced up again with a biu sound just after being pressed down.

Xia Yu: "..."

"Mr. Xia, are you okay?" Looking at Xia Yu's dark face, Zhishi asked worriedly.

"It's okay. My body just happened to be a little stiff. An electric treatment made me feel much better."

Xia Yu rubbed his shoulders and looked up at the sky. The sky was still the same, without any dark clouds. The lightning seemed to appear out of thin air.

After staring silently for a few seconds, Xia Yu withdrew his gaze, clenched his fist again in defiance, and gathered strength.

Boom——! !

As expected, another silver-white lightning struck down, this time with much greater power, causing Xia Yu to shiver.

"Huh..." Xia Yu exhaled the black smoke that inexplicably appeared in his body, raised his hand to stroke his visually impactful afro, and his forehead was tense.

"You're not done yet, are you? If you can, use more power, full power..."

Feeling the deep malice, Xia Yu raised his finger and cursed, but before he could finish his words, a dazzling white light appeared in his eyes.

Rumble——! ! !
Xia Yu: "..."

Xia Yu kept raising his finger to the sky and was struck by lightning again like a lightning rod. This time the power of the lightning was far greater than the previous two times, and one could even vaguely see the bones in his body flashing happily.

After being struck by lightning three times, Xia Yu fell down helplessly, but his stiff afro seemed to still show his indomitable spirit.

"Xia-kun!?"

Zhishi's face turned pale, and he quickly ran to the fallen person, half squatting and trying to touch Xia Yu to see if he was injured.

But before she could touch him, Xia Yu raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Stop, don't touch me. There's still electricity in my body. If you touch me, you'll probably get shocked too."

As he spoke, he first sat up, pressed his hands on the ground to direct the current in his body into the ground, and shook his head to sober himself up.

After all the current in his body was drained away, he stood up with his hands on his knees.

"I'm fine, I just look a little disheveled."

Seeing that Tomoyo, Sakura and Li Syaoran were walking over and looking at him with concern, Xia Yu rubbed his face with both hands and wiped off the black marks on his face.

After a few seconds, except for the conspicuous afro, he returned to his original appearance, and even his clothes were not damaged.

The three lightning bolts were only aimed at his body, so even though his clothes were struck by lightning, there was no burnt area at all.

"So, this maze cannot be destroyed by brute force?" Seeing that Xia Yu was safe and sound, Li Xiaolang turned to ask him again.

"Not necessarily. I'm willing to risk destruction, so I'm not afraid of the lightning. After all, I can easily withstand that little bit of power..."

As Xia Yu was speaking, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned his head and met Zhishi's distressed gaze.

Facing this gaze, Xia Yu choked, and the urge to take the damage and destroy the maze also disappeared.

He could only scratch his afro and said again: "Forget it, let's get out of the maze according to the rules. I just don't know what the rules of the maze are this time."

"Rules? That's it?"

Sakura pointed at a crystal arrow beside her. The crystal arrow was pointing in a certain direction quite conspicuously, as if urging them to go over there.

"What is this? When did it appear?"

Xia Yu looked at the signpost in astonishment, walked over and knocked on it. This thing clearly didn't exist before, so why did it suddenly appear?

"Just when the first lightning appeared."

While answering, Xiaoying looked at Xia Yu and said, "Thanks to Xia Yu for taking the risk, otherwise this arrow might not have appeared."

Xia Yu: "..."

I always feel like I have some old complaints that I can't get out of my mouth.

"What about us?"

"Let's go, but can a maze with arrows still be considered a maze?" Xia Yu replied to Xiaoying while casually complaining.

"Are we about to embark on our long-awaited adventure?"

Seeing that Xia Yu finally chose not to rely on brute force to break through the maze, Zhishi breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he turned and looked at the few people with bright eyes, his tone slightly excited.

"Adventure?"

Sakura was startled, then smiled happily: "That's right, let's start our long-awaited adventure."

I didn't expect that they would embark on a long-awaited adventure under such circumstances. It's really exciting.

"So, Sakura, don't forget to change into your adventure clothes." Tomoyo changed the subject and looked at Sakura with a smile.

"Eh--!?"

Xiaoying, who was still smiling, froze. She looked at Tomoyo in astonishment and said, "Clothes? Tomoyo, did you bring clothes with you? But I didn't see you bring any clothes with you."

"Hehe~ Because I expected that adventure would come again sooner or later, so I asked Xia Jun to help me carry all the clothes we made before."

Chishi hummed a little proudly, then looked at Xia Yu expectantly and said, "Xia Jun, so you have the clothes we made for Xiaoying?"

“No matter what I forget, I can’t forget this.”

Xia Yu chuckled, reached out from behind, and took out the clothes that Zhishi had left with him and then placed in the system space.

This is the battle uniform that he and Tomoyo had designed and made for Sakura in their spare time, but they didn't expect it to be used today.

Sakura stared blankly at the clothes that were taken out, while Tomoyo reached out to take the clothes, then pulled Sakura towards the corner of the maze.

"Come on, Sakura, let's go change our clothes. We need special clothes for special things."

Looking at Tomoyo and Sakura leaving, Xia Yu nudged Li Syaoran with his shoulder and said with a smile: "Look forward to it, this dress will make Sakura even more lovely and handsome."

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang blushed slightly for a moment, but he also felt a deep sense of anticipation.

A few minutes later, Sakura and Tomoyo walked out after changing their clothes.

This time, Sakura's uniform seemed to be made of dreamy crystal, with a puffy skirt in white with blue as the secondary color. The star-shaped armor on the chest was outlined with a vine pattern with rose gold thread, and it was also dotted with moon-shaped gems.

There is a chain-like bell belt around the waist, a translucent ribbon extending from the back waist, and a sapphire butterfly hairpin between the hair, making her look quite smart and cute.

Looking at Sakura, who was like a crystal princess, Li Syaoran was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses with a red face after being reminded by Xia Yu's light cough.

"Are you stunned? If you like it, I can design a men's suit for you right on the spot. How about it? Do you want it?"

Hearing Xia Yu's teasing topic, Li Xiaolang took a deep breath, turned around and walked in the direction of the arrow: "Stop talking nonsense, we should leave."

"Hey - are you still shy?"

Xia Yu quickly followed, put his hand on Li Xiaolang's shoulder, and continued to harass him in his ear.

Sakura, who had changed her clothes and walked out, saw that Li Syaoran was shy, and she couldn't help but feel a little shy too. Seeing this, Tomoyo, who was standing next to her, smiled and took Sakura's hand.

"Then let's go too, Sakura."

"Um……"
