Duels should be played with a smile.

"You smell really good."

"I really like it."

Unsurprisingly, after saying those two sentences, Ella's rhythm was completely disrupted.

Leyou took the opportunity to back away, escaping from Ella's clutches, and used one hand to support himself on the edge of the bed.

When the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy is forced to retreat, it is naturally a great opportunity for us to pursue.

When it is no longer in a state of suppression, Leyou has a lot of room for maneuver.

The hand holding those few strands of hair never let go, and now it pressed forward, blocking the lamb that wanted to escape.

"How embarrassing!"

With words tinged with awkwardness and helplessness, Leyou's sudden outburst diluted the somewhat romantic atmosphere, creating a little space that allowed both of them to relax for a moment.

"You've made me say these things, how can you just run away at the last minute... You have to take some responsibility, right?"

Leyou, who had just straightened up, immediately collapsed back onto the bed, as if all her strength had been exhausted by that one sentence.

Of course, it's also possible that he was exhausted from things that happened earlier.

He placed one hand on his forehead, blocking his eyes and obscuring much of his expression.

After their eyes met, the room fell silent again.

Neither of them spoke.

Or rather, they are all waiting for the other party to speak.

Leyou has no practical experience and is just a theorist, but isn't Ella the same?

She collected countless hopes and despairs from the hearts of countless people. These emotions naturally included all sorts of things, including emotional fluctuations caused by emotional issues.

In collecting these emotions, Ella was also able to glimpse the inner thoughts of those involved.

She gained a lot of experience as an observer, though she also lacked practical experience.

If you think back carefully, the two of them never said anything too intimate or direct; everything just happened naturally.

When both sides have equal conditions, the competition then becomes about other aspects.

Leyou covered his eyes, composed himself, and remained silent. Ella maintained her previous posture, motionless, seemingly lost in thought.

The two remained in that position, a pose that would leave outsiders with much to speculate about.

They kept doing this until Ella's hands started to ache.

"I almost fell for your trick."

With a soft laugh, Leyou felt the shadow that had been blocking him disappear. A few rays of light shone through the gaps between his fingers, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent any longer.

I sat up. The beautiful scenery from before was gone. No, it should be said that the scenery was still there, but it was no longer as clear as before. Now I could only recall it through a few layers of gauze, combined with the memories in my mind.

"As expected of you," Ella said, looking at Leyou with amusement. "Even at a time like this, you still like to push your luck. I almost fell for your trick."

"Sigh." When Leyou saw that Ella's expression didn't seem fake, he realized that his sudden idea had failed, and could only sigh.

"Sometimes, you can cooperate a little."

"But... sometimes, I don't want some bad guy to get away with it for nothing!"

The way her eyes and brows moved revealed a charm rarely seen before.

"Things that are too easily obtained are not easily cherished, especially for you card players. You have one deck after another, and often after you get a new deck, you forget about the old ones."

"It seems like you got away with bullying a certain pushover too easily, and now you're bullying him every day."

"Don't talk nonsense," Leyou retorted firmly. "I have tons of decks, but I haven't abandoned a single one! Scumbags are all fickle, but I'm different."

"I want it all!"

"You are all my wings!"

"Besides, how can you blame me for the Snow Woman's image as a pushover? If she had just persisted a little bit, I wouldn't have wanted to bully her. But every time I show even the slightest intention, she naturally cooperates. If I backed down first in that situation, wouldn't I be considered unromantic?"

Ella was both amused and exasperated. She reached out again, wanting to teach Leyou a lesson, but then remembered his skillful "snake-on-stick" maneuver and immediately withdrew her hand.

"You... you're probably the only one who could be so shameless as to say these things."

"And another thing! I didn't bully her every day!" Leyou suddenly added.

As he uttered those words, his gaze once again became unrestrained.

"For example, today, right now, no, I should say just now, I didn't bully her..."

The aggressive gaze made Ella instinctively take a step back, her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her chest, as if trying to use this weak defense to block the burning gaze.

Experience has shown that when you lack experience and the situation is reversed for unknown reasons, the best approach is always to be shameless and unreasonable.

It is especially effective against opponents with strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, this time the opponent doesn't care much about martial ethics; he's a cheat code user.

Ella, who had just been at a loss for how to respond to Leyou's righteous sophistry, suddenly launched another counterattack.

She smiled, but remained silent, merely gazing at Leyou with a playful look.

"You're really amazing."

"I fell for your trick again without even realizing it."

They pressed closer and closer, their foreheads almost touching.

The sound of breathing was clearly audible.

Leyou wanted to speak to relieve the sudden pressure, but Ella's gaze stopped her. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

In a sense, Leyou itself is also a high-attack, high-defense platform.

When Ella saw Leyou hesitate to speak, she knew that she had won this time.

She wanted to follow up her victory like she had done before.

Just when Leyou thought she would be put on the defensive again, she only felt a fragrant breeze pass by her and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the brief moment that Leyou was in a daze, Ella had already reached the door and begun to "rest".

In no time, all traces of the battle had been erased.

"You've been quite busy lately, so take this opportunity to get some rest~"

"Get some rest, don't think about anything else, just rest there and wait for me to come back. Okay, okay?"

Without giving Leyou any chance to retaliate, Ella activated her five-speed magic and fled, pushing open the door and leaving.

Leyou was left somewhat dumbfounded, speechless.

"What's going on? This process isn't right! Are we really being treated like children?"

Outside the door, among the contestants, Ella was slowly walking towards the arena.

"Hehehe~ I am your soul, your thoughts, which are directly exposed to my perception when you are not on guard."

"Speaking of which, it seems that you are at a complete disadvantage when facing me now, after all, you have never had any intention of being wary of us."

Recalling the two times she sensed Leyou's thoughts, thus reversing the offensive and defensive positions, Ella couldn't help but beam with joy.

How come I never realized before that teasing Leyou is much more fun than playing cards?

Hurry up and defeat that opponent, then come back and continue to "harass" him!

After all, he himself enjoys it immensely—I think so, right?

People always seek thrills and like to test the limits of danger, constantly jumping between the two sides. For Ella, this kind of thing, where once an opportunity is seized, she might be "seized" again, gives her a strange sense of addiction.

Anyway, she doesn't lose out?

"This feeling is really good. It feels so good to be trusted without reservation."

"Thank you for liking me~ Just as you like me, I like you too."

"Hmm~ It would be even better if you could be a little more 'cooperative'~"

Chapter 85 The Hidden Skills of Small Animals V2.0 Enhanced Version 7000

"[Fire God-Shiranui], attack directly!"

"All things in the universe! Flowing blade like fire!"

The Demon Blade erupted with overwhelming flames, creating waves of heat. The extreme heat forced the Snow Woman to take a few steps back, avoiding the aftershocks of the Flame God's attack.

The blade wreathed in flames easily wiped out the opponent's last LP. After confirming that there were no other possible dangers in the vicinity, the Snow Woman summoned the Flame God back into the card.

"Strange... It's not that I can't understand why some of these low-level Faceless Ones suddenly appeared, but why do I feel a chill on my head?"

After searching around, the Snow Woman couldn't find the inexplicable "malice" hovering above her head. After several fruitless searches, she decided to leave.

This is the outer area of ​​the Fusion Academy. If you go any further, it will be roughly equivalent to going from the main city to the wilderness in an online game.

As the tournament draws to a close, more and more duelists are arriving from other dimensions. As the number of duelists increases, the Faceless Ones, these peculiar beings, are also constantly spawning like wild monsters, and their numbers are also on the rise.

In less than half an hour in this outer area, the Snow Woman encountered three or four Faceless Ones. Fortunately, they were all low-level minions and could be dealt with without much effort.

However, similarly, nothing of value was gained.

If it weren't for Leyou's instructions, the Snow Woman would have just turned around and left.

"I shouldn't have listened to that guy and helped him with his business. Nothing good ever comes of it when he puts it in my hands!"

While complaining about Leyou, Xue Nu recalled the last time she was kept by him to fight against Saiou. In particular, after she helped him deal with Saiou, she was then entangled by Edward who suddenly appeared, and was unwillingly forced to duel twice in a row.

I'm annoyed, in short, I'm extremely annoyed.

The fact that Yuki-onna uses Shiranui's deck to defeat her opponent after encountering them is especially annoying to her.

Perhaps the battle the night before was too intense, constantly switching between Link 2, Link 3, and finally Link 4, which caused her Demon deck to consume a lot of energy. Her Weather deck and Labyrinth deck were also unusable for some strange reason, leaving her with only Shiranui as her usable deck.

Although Yan Shen and Yao Dao didn't get along with Yuki Onna, they still followed the rules during the duel and helped Yuki Onna achieve victory. However, when she summoned Li Shen in the middle of the duel, she always felt that Li Shen's gaze towards her was a bit strange.

Completely baffled, she could only attribute it to the fact that women have contact lists and that normal heterosexuals simply cannot understand it.

To be fair, if it weren't for some special reason that she herself became an extraordinary elf, able to come out and follow Leyou, she might still be in the deck right now watching Lishen and Daji, those two female contacts, showing off their love.

At that time, she might become the "loser" type.
