A duelist never gives up!

"..."

Shi Yu was starting to get a little crazy as he watched the monsters appearing one after another on the original seven fields.

It's clearly my turn, so why does it feel like it's all Yuan Qi doing?

Whose turn is it?!

It’s a pity that Yuan Qi couldn’t hear Shi Yu’s inner voice, otherwise he would definitely tell her: The essence of the Pearl Tears Elegy is that your turn is my turn, and my turn is still my turn.

"Have you finished your effects?" Shi Yu looked at Yuan Qidao dimly.

"It's finished, you can unfold it." Yuan Qi nodded.

Shigure looked at the dark mass on the original seven fields and sighed helplessly: "I Normal Summon the Purification Girl Stella and activate Stella's effect..."

"Chain." Before Shigure could finish, Hara Shichi extended his hand and said, "I activate the effect of Grafa, the Dragon King of the Dark Realm. This effect can only be activated when your opponent activates a monster effect, Normal Spell, or Normal Trap Card. That effect becomes 'Your opponent chooses 1 card from their hand and discards it.'"

"I discarded the Pearl Tear Singer, Renohart."

Shigure's eyelids twitched, and he weakly displayed the last card in his hand and said, "I activate the effect of Rescue the Purification Girl Elise..."

"Chain." Yuan Qi opened his face-up card without hesitation, "I activate the counter-trap card - Clear Echo of a Lifetime of Destruction!"

"You can only activate this card when you control a "Tearful Lament" monster or "Visas Starfrost" monster and the monster's effect, spell, or trap card is activated. Negate that activation and return that card to its owner's deck. Afterward, select 1 monster from your hand and send it to the Graveyard!"

"I'm sending the Siren Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Lament Tribe from my hand to the graveyard!"

A blue light shot out, sending Shigure's last card to the graveyard.

"Alright, there shouldn't be any room left to move." Yuan Qi nodded and looked at Shi Yu, whose expression was stiff. "Would you like to continue?"

Shigure: "..."

Chapter 49: Xuefeng, it’s not what you think!

"It's really too strong."

Shi Yu helplessly raised his hands to surrender: "Alright, alright, I surrender, you win."

"It was just luck. If you had gone first, I wouldn't have been able to win with the same cards." Yuan Qi shook his head.

If Shigure takes the initiative, she will definitely choose to activate the Dimension Attractor in her own turn. The effect of the Dimension Attractor can last for two turns. When it is Genchi's turn, Genchi will still have to bear the effect of the macrocosm.

At this time, it would be useless even if you activated the Grave Finger.

"The first move is... no, luck is?" Shigure chuckled and waved his hand. "Although it's hard to accept, luck is also a part of strength. Besides, if we really compare the two decks, Pearl Tears is indeed stronger than my Purification Girl, right?"

Yuan Qi didn't say anything. Winning with a powerful deck like Pearl Tears was not something to be proud of.

In contrast, if desserts could be used...

Yuan Qi placed his hand on the dessert on his waist, but then retracted it slightly.

This isn't the world we used to be in. Every victory or defeat is crucial. Using desserts was fine in the previous duel with Katsura, but for a crucial duel, you really need something stronger...

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Shi Yu poked Yuan Qi with his elbow in dissatisfaction and said with some displeasure.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now. What did you say?" Yuan Qi said a little embarrassedly.

"Please, I'm your elder after all, so show me some respect!" Shi Yu glanced at Yuan Qi with dissatisfaction, but then sighed helplessly and said, "I've already made an appointment with Miao Yan. He will bring Nineteen to the forest in the old city of the royal capital in two days."

"Don't worry, I will bring the person back." Yuan Qi nodded.

"After fighting with you, I firmly believe this." Shi Yu nodded and looked at Yuan Qidao with appreciation. "I'm afraid that even Avis can't be your opponent now?"

"What deck is Avis using?" Yuan Qi asked curiously.

"Branded Death Prison Township." Shigure told Hara Nana about Avis's deck without hesitation. "But he is the CEO of the Duelist League after all, so he must have more than one deck."

"Branded Death Prison?" Ai, floating in mid-air, couldn't help but sneer. "This is the top-tier of the Alliance! I thought it was some other deck."

"It's hard to say. With the current strength of the Pearl Tears in my hand, I may not be able to win against the Branded Death Prison Township." Yuan Qi shook his head.

It's not like he hasn't fought against the Branded Death Prison before. As the previous mainstream before the Pearl Tear Thunder Spirit version, he still has some strength.

"So... we have to print out the thunder spirit as soon as possible." Yuan Qi said solemnly.

At that time, just hold the Thunder Spirit in your left hand and the Pearl Tear in your right hand, and everything should be safe.

"Who are you talking to?" Shi Yu looked at Yuan Qi's mouth opening and closing, and asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing. Let's leave here." Yuan Qi shook his head and put the deck back into his waist.

"Just talking to himself..." Shi Yu looked at Yuan Qi's back and fell into deep thought.

When Yuan Qi and Shi Yu returned to the lobby, they happened to meet the man and woman who had been driving for half an hour.

"Damn it! If I hadn't been the last one to win, that hand would have clearly won!" The man said, covering his head in pain.

"If I lose, I lose. I have to accept the loss." The woman crossed her arms and said expressionlessly.

But if you look closely, you can see that the corners of her mouth have actually curled up slightly.

Some people smile in such a calm way that you can't see it unless you look closely.

"Okay, what do you want me to do? Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything illegal." The man said seriously.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that a movie that I want to see was released recently." The woman said, her dark green eyes looking directly into the man's eyes, "Please ask me to watch it with you."

"Is that all?" the man asked in surprise.

"Well, then treat me to another meal." The woman said casually.

"It's too expensive. I can't afford it."

"Are there meals that duelists can't afford?"

The two of them left the gate of the Duelist's House without saying a word.

"It's great to be young." Shi Yu stretched out his arms while looking at the couple. "They will definitely get married in the future."

"Marriage? That's too far in the future. Shouldn't we date first?" Yuan Qi asked in confusion.

"Isn't the purpose of dating to get married?" Shi Yu gave Yuan Qi a strange look.

"No, no, no, that's what I say, but if you discover that your habits, personalities, or philosophies don't mesh during a relationship, then..."

"We'll break up?" Shi Yu sneered disdainfully. "Clashing habits, personalities, and philosophies are just excuses for being immature and not knowing how to love."

“Two mature people can still go to the end even if they have different habits, customs, and philosophies,” Shi Yu said calmly.

"So you must be very experienced?" Yuan Qi looked at Shi Yu curiously.

"Ahem, well..." Shi Yu turned his head away awkwardly, "No."

"...It's just paper talk." Yuan Qi curled his lips and said.

"If I had experience, I would have been married by now." Shi Yu said unhappily, but she soon frowned. "When I was in school, people often confessed their love to me, but I don't think I've encountered such a situation since I started working."

"When you become an adult, you have to take a lot of things into consideration. Who would still express their feelings as freely as they did when they were students?" Yuan Qi sighed.

"Are you an adult?" Shi Yu looked at Yuan Qi strangely.

"No." Yuan Qi rejected it decisively.

"It's just paper talk." Shi Yu refused without hesitation.

"Each each other."

The two smiled at each other and walked out of the Duelist's House side by side.

However, the moment they opened the door, their smiles froze on their faces.

Because a figure that was very familiar to both of them was standing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Is it over? I wanted to go in and find you guys. How was it? Did you have fun?" Xuefeng said with narrowed eyes.

"Hey...this...Xuefeng, it's not what you think!" Shigure quickly explained.

"What's going on? Could it be that the person next to my sister is not Yuan Qi, but Yuan Qi's brother?" Xuefeng said in a deep voice.

"No, he's Yuan Qi, but it's not like we two are hiding this from you..."

"Isn't this hiding something from me?!" Xuefeng clenched his fists and roared with his head down.

"Well...we also have various reasons..." Shi Yu looked at Xuefeng in front of him with an embarrassed look.

"What's the reason? What can't you tell me? Is it because I'm too weak to help? Is it because I'm too fragile to get hurt easily? Is it because I'm still a child?" Xuefeng choked a little.

Shi Yu was speechless for a moment. Xuefeng had said everything she wanted to say, and she didn't know what to say anymore.

"I'm so sorry, Yukikaze."

Yuan Qi, who had been silent the whole time, stepped forward, lifted up Xuefeng's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes with his dark eyes and said, "Shigure and I only wanted to protect you, but we didn't consider your feelings, so I'm sorry."

"I don't want this kind of protection..."

Xuefeng bit her pink lower lip gently and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Chapter 50: Please Don’t Dislike Xuefeng

There was an uninvited guest at the Xuefeng family’s dinner table today.

Fortunately, it was just a matter of adding a pair of bowls, chopsticks and chairs, so the father, as the head of the family, did not feel any trouble. Instead, Yuan Qi, as the guest, felt uncomfortable.

It's simple. If you were sitting at the dining table and being stared at by three sharp eyes, you would feel uncomfortable.

If it was a duel, it would be fine for the crowd to watch from a distance, but sitting at a dining table would be too direct.

What's even more outrageous is that these three people thought they were communicating with their minds, but in fact they had already spoken out what was in their hearts:

Xuefeng's grandmother: "Didn't you say you were going to work overtime? Why aren't you working overtime anymore? And why are you bringing back a young man?"

Xuefeng's mother: "Haha, it seems that working overtime was fake, and the tryst with her boyfriend was real..."

Xuefeng's father: "The child is old enough and has his own ideas...but this boy seems a little familiar."

Xuefeng's mother: "I think he looks familiar too. Isn't this Xuefeng's captain?"

Xuefeng's father: "What? A student? A minor? Did Shigure actually attack a minor?!"

Xuefeng's grandmother: "Oh, you're the only ones who care about whether I'm an adult or not. I married your father when I was 14..."

Shi Yu on the side had buried his head in the bowl in embarrassment, and was unwilling to raise his head even if he died, while Xuefeng pouted his lips, feeling dissatisfied but too embarrassed to say anything.

Yudachi, the six or seven-year-old sister of Shigure and Yukikaze, jumped down from her chair and stood beside Hara Nana. She tugged at the corner of Hara Nana's clothes with her soft little hands, raised her head and asked curiously, "Big brother, big brother, are you Shigure's boyfriend?"

Yuan Qi looked into the little girl's clear blue eyes and said with as gentle a look as possible, "No."

Xuefeng's father: "So that's not the case. It seems we were overthinking it."

Xuefeng's mother: "Damn it, he hasn't been captured yet? Shigure is so useless!"

Yudachi was slightly startled, and tilted his chubby little head slightly, and continued curiously: "Then are you Sister Xuefeng's boyfriend?"

"puff!"

Xuefeng almost spit out the water in her mouth, and as soon as she said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table began to become subtle.

Xuefeng's mother: "Come to think of it, I remember Xuefeng seemed to mention this classmate Yuan Qi quite often..."

Xuefeng's father: "Shigure actually attacked the person his sister likes. This, this is simply too..."

Xuefeng's grandmother: "In our time, it was normal for a powerful man to have two or more wives..."

Xuefeng's mother: "Is that so? I didn't know there was such a method. You are indeed a mother."

Xuefeng's father: "No, no, no, I don't think this is a good idea..."

So, don't you realize that you have spoken your mind?

"Is that so?" When Yudachi saw that Hara Nana didn't reply to him, he felt that his young dignity was trampled upon.

"No." Yuan Qi shook his head and rubbed Yudachi's little head. "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because my mother always tells me that Sister Shigure will never get married, and I'm very worried about her." Yudachi put his hands on his hips and said like an adult.

"You don't have to worry about it." Shi Yu said with a gloomy face.

"What about Xuefeng?" Yuan Qi pinched Yuli's soft cheek and asked curiously.

"Because Sister Yukikaze has been watching you, big brother, since just now." Yudachi said as a matter of course.
