Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

The absurdity was comparable to clearing out minions with a broken epic card; it was terrifying.

"I have some things to take care of and need to leave for a while." Luo Bai bent down and patted the twin flowers' heads. "If you behave well."

"When I get back, I'll print a set of [Rikka] for you."

Upon hearing this, the twin flowers' eyes immediately lit up, and they excitedly shouted, "Okay—it's a deal!"

The naive child doesn't know that Tony the teacher also makes cards.

Yes, what normal person would think of having a cat make cards?

Luo Bai bid farewell to the two and walked to the outskirts of Bian Yuelong.

The sunlight on my face felt warm and ticklish, the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming, and the breeze was just right.

Comfortable and peaceful.

He exhaled softly, slowly raised his head, and, as the researcher had instructed, focused the body's energy into his eyes.

Despite being mentally prepared, the view from high above was still terrifying.

The azure sky was shrouded by towering black shadows, like a massive iron fence stretching across it.

These dark shadows crisscrossed and densely covered the entire sky, giving one the illusion of being imprisoned.

No, it's not an illusion.

Biantana was indeed locked, a lock that ordinary people couldn't see.

A caged bird can eat and drink as it pleases, and there's nothing wrong with living a simple and happy life.

Until one day, someone let the bird fly freely outside for a while, and then put it back in the cage.

The birds will go crazy, struggle frantically, and even refuse to eat or drink.

Luo Bai lowered his head, looked at the map beside him, and his gaze slowly hardened.

A bird has very limited strength to break free of its cage.

"Let's go," he murmured to himself.

The next instant, the ground beneath their feet suddenly blurred, and the surrounding scenery rushed past them.

He felt a lightness in his body, as if he had lost weight, and a blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping his entire body.

A gravitational force lifted him up, and his body rose rapidly.

The feeling of weightlessness grew stronger as my body passed through the clouds, and the air became thin and cold.

After a short while, the feeling gradually disappeared.

He slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Destination—"

"To teach the Dragon Kingdom."

Since things have come to this, let's go and fool one of our accomplices first.

Level 7 Fortress, Teaching the Dragon Kingdom

Night falls, midnight.

Yi Lan returned to her room without ever leaving the boundary and slumped dejectedly onto the table.

The table was laden with all sorts of exquisite pastries, but she had absolutely no appetite.

I'm feeling emo again.

She felt desperate when she couldn't solve a problem with effort.

No matter how much she punched and kicked, the red callus just wouldn't break.

"what to do..."

Yi Lan lay slumped on the table, her lips slightly downturned, her eyes dull and lifeless, occasionally letting out a heavy sigh.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from the central castle.

The patrolling soldiers surveyed their surroundings with serious expressions, while the maids busied themselves, and the area outside the room was in complete chaos.

Yi Lan's expression remained completely calm, which was not unusual.

The teachings state that the Dragon Kingdom and the present world are hostile, with minor conflicts occurring daily.

As for kidnapping the saintess?

There is a precedent to follow with Axelasia.

Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, he wouldn't be able to take the Holy Maiden out of the room even once.

Outside the room, a squad of elite soldiers stood ready.

They were dressed in special armor, wielding high-energy weapons, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. Hidden surveillance equipment was set up in every corner to ensure absolute safety.

only--

Equipment also varies in quality.

Wearing an invisibility cloak, Luo Bai would disappear into wherever there were dense crowds.

He looked relaxed and at ease, as if he were shopping at his own local card store.

His whereabouts were deliberately exposed; he didn't know which room Yi Lan was in.

Sure enough, he found out as soon as the soldiers gathered together.

The night was as dark as ink, so thick it seemed impossible to see through, with only a few cold stars twinkling faintly.

Luo Bai, like a ghost, bypassed the visible and hidden sentries and arrived at the window of Yi Lan's boudoir.

He did not act rashly, but observed quietly for a while first.

A dim light shone through the window, and a shadowy figure could be vaguely seen moving about.

He took a deep breath, pressed his body tightly against the wall, and then gently, very gently, pushed open the window.

The window made a slight creaking sound, but it was almost inaudible in the howling wind.

He slipped inside, his movements swift and gentle, without alerting anyone.

Finally, he successfully sneaked into Yi Lan's boudoir and saw the girl he had been longing for day and night.

She was slumped over the table, head down, looking rather upset.

Luo Bai moved quietly, like a hunting cat, approaching silently.

Finally, he sat down next to her.

He propped his chin up with one hand, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, and quietly looked at the person in front of him, his face almost touching theirs.

Three years have passed.

His gaze was gentle as water.

Yi Lan's nostrils twitched slightly, like a keen little animal sensing an unusual scent in the air.

The scent was faint, yet it carried a certain indescribable sense of familiarity.

It seemed to come from the depths of a distant memory.

With a hint of doubt and a touch of inquiry, she slowly raised her head.

Eyes facing each other.

Chapter 721 The Grand Finale (Predicament)

"Surprised?" Luo Bai deactivated his invisibility cloak, spread his hands, and wore a mischievous grin on his face.

"Surprised?" he continued to tease.

Yi Lan's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply, and she took a deep breath.

The next second, a scream loud enough to rip the night sky apart erupted from her mouth: "Ah—"

The scream was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly spreading throughout the room and even penetrating the door to reach the ears of the guards and maids outside.

Upon hearing the sudden scream, the guards and maids outside the door were immediately on high alert and rushed into the room in a great hurry.

Yi Lan also snapped out of her daze at the scream. She reflexively pressed Luo Bai's head to her lower abdomen, burying his face between her legs.

"Ugh—" Luo Bai was so startled by the sudden movement that he couldn't speak and made a muffled sound.

"Your Highness!" The guards rushed into the room, looking around anxiously, and asked, "What happened?"

"Ahem." Yi Lan coughed lightly, trying to cover up her panic. Her tone was a little awkward. "Uh, it's nothing. I just had a nightmare. I dreamt about an arrogant pig's head, and it scared me awake."

The guards looked at each other, somewhat puzzled, but nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Your Highness, you dreamt of a pig's head?

Will you be woken up by a pig's head?

What kind of pig's head is this? It's so scary!

As expected of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, even her dreams are so unique.

The head maidservant keenly sensed something amiss. She looked at Yilan scrutinizingly and asked with concern, "Your Highness, your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?"

As she spoke, she slowly approached Yilan, wanting to check on her condition.

"It's alright!" Yi Lan suddenly raised her right hand to stop the head maid from getting closer, while her left hand continued to press down on Luo Bai's dog head, not giving him any chance to move.

"I...I'm fine, you guys can go out now."

"Lock all the doors and windows," she emphasized.

"Absolutely—" she deliberately drew out, "Don't let any petty scoundrels get away with this!"

As she said this, she gripped Luo Bai's hair tightly, as if venting some resentment.

"Come into my room."

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her words carrying an indescribable resentment and the majesty of a saint.

"No one is allowed to enter without my order!"

"Yes..." The guards sensed the seriousness in Yi Lan's tone, their bodies trembled involuntarily, their faces became even more tense, and they hurriedly led their team out of the room.
