A duelist never gives up!

"Eh? Um... I didn't, I just looked over when you were talking..." Xuefeng waved his hands in panic, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"But..." Yudachi wanted to say something, but Xuefeng hugged him and pushed him back into his seat.

"Sister Xuefeng?" Yuli looked at Xuefeng blankly, not understanding what she was doing.

"Eat and talk less." Xuefeng said with a forced smile.

"what?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?!"

"I heard it clearly..." Yudachi looked at Xuefeng's gloomy face, shrank his neck, and became honest.

Thus, the farce ended just like that.

After the meal, Yuan Qi originally planned to help clean up the dishes, but was declined on the grounds that "it would be too rude to let the guests do it."

"So you want to rest at my house tonight?" Shi Yu suggested.

"Sure." Yuan Qi nodded.

"Then you can sleep in Yukikaze's room." Shigure quickly completed the room allocation.

"Hmm? It seems a bit bad, right?" Yuan Qi said hesitantly.

"Do you still dislike the room where Xuefeng lived?" Shi Yu looked at Yuan Qidao indifferently.

"No, a girl's room can't just let boys enter it, right?" Yuan Qi declined.

Shi Yu sneered and said to Xuefeng who was washing dishes in the kitchen, "Hey, Yuan Qi is staying over tonight. You sleep with me and Yuan Qi sleeps in your room. Is that okay?"

"Eh?!"

A panicked sound came from the kitchen, followed by Xuefeng's soft and sticky voice: "I don't think it's a good idea..."

Yuan Qi was relieved when he heard this: "It's okay, I can just sleep on the sofa in the living room."

Yuan Qi was still very casual about the accommodation conditions.

"That won't do. It doesn't make sense to let guests sleep in the living room." Shi Yu shook his head and continued to shout at Xuefeng in the kitchen, "Then I'll sleep in your room, and Yuan Qi will sleep in mine?"

"no!"

Xuefeng hurriedly came out of the kitchen and said breathlessly, "Yuan Qi, just sleep in my room. It's fine with me."

Shi Yu rolled his eyes, then said to Yuan Qi in front of Xuefeng without hesitation: "See, I knew she would agree."

"Xuefeng is such a shy child. I hope you don't dislike her." Shigure sighed and said to Yuan Qi earnestly.

"It's okay actually..." Yuan Qi scratched the ends of his hair. Xuefeng, a girl, had agreed. Wouldn't it be too pretentious if he refused again?

"It's okay, Ah Qi." At this time, Ai appeared beside Yuan Qi and said to him with a serious face: "You can just sleep on the floor."

"Sleeping on the floor?" Yuan Qi asked a little confusedly.

"That's right. Think about it, the sheets and quilt in the room were all used by Xuefeng. They smell like Xuefeng!" Ai said bitterly, "Do you really want to sleep on that kind of bed? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Yes, that makes sense." Yuan Qi was moved by Ai's words.

So, that night, Hara Nana spent the night on the floor of Yukikaze's room.

PS: Ai moved Yuan Qi to bed in the middle of the night, but moved him down again before dawn.

Chapter 51: Don’t go, you will die.

"Good morning, everyone! Welcome to the morning news. I'm the host, Hara Yuiko..."

When Yuan Qi came out of the room yawning, he found that Xuefeng's father seemed to be sitting on the sofa in the living room early in the morning, watching the news report attentively.

This made Yuan Qi recall the scene when he woke up when he was staying at a classmate's house. He remembered that he also got up early in the morning and went to the living room, and then found that his classmate's father was sitting upright on the sofa, watching the morning news with relish.

It seems that even though they are in two different worlds, the fact that middle-aged people like to watch the news has not changed at all.

Just as Yuan Qi quietly turned around and left to wash up, a name that concerned him came from the TV:

"Next is the main news. Last night, our station received a message from the Duelist Alliance..."

Duelist Alliance?

Yuan Qi stopped walking and curiously turned her head to look at the host in a white formal suit on TV. Her lipstick-coated lips moved as she spoke, "Just yesterday, Yuan Qi, the hero of the capital and a rising star in the dueling world, officially joined the Duelist's League and became a subordinate of Mr. Avis, the Duelist's League CEO. I'm sure everyone is curious about this young duelist, but due to time constraints, our reporters haven't been able to interview him yet, so I'll play some footage and information about Yuan Qi for everyone to enjoy..."

As soon as the host finished speaking, a video with somewhat poor quality was played - it was the duel between Yuan Qi and Hong Lian in the Duelist Academy.

Afterwards, video clips of Harachi's performances in the National College Competition continued to appear on television.

"You're truly young and promising," the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa suddenly sighed. "But even so, I won't hand my daughter over to you so easily."

Yuan Qi didn't say anything, but just frowned, looking a little unhappy.

He now more or less understood why the Arisa family forbade any recording of the Duel King's duels.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is not the kind of game where you can win 100% just by being strong.

It is precisely because anyone and any deck has the possibility of winning that Yu-Gi-Oh is loved by so many players.

But if we change to a world where dueling is supreme, this charm that is loved by the public is not a charm.

Although Yuan Qi was very famous before, most people only knew that he used a powerful deck called Pearl Tears to defeat Red Center of the Anti-Duelers League.

Unless someone is interested in exploring, no normal person would know the number of cards in Yuan Qi's deck, the general structure of his deck, and his dueling style.

But now, suddenly, they're promoting it so loudly, even introducing their own deck...

"That's great," Ai patted Yuan Qi's shoulder, a cheerful smile on her cute little face. "Now we might not even have to pay for meals. We might even have a fan club."

"That's the kind of thing I'm looking forward to." Yuan Qi said weakly.

"It's okay." Ai said softly, "We are the strongest, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are the strongest." Yuan Qi nodded, putting aside the slight displeasure in his mind, and then began to wonder, "Why does the Duelist Alliance do these things?"

"Why do you do this?"

In the huge office, Avis held the microphone in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I say not to promote it? Yuan Qi is a very good, no, very powerful duelist. With his joining, our Duelist Alliance is already more powerful. There is no need to do anything extra!"

"He's just a Duelist with a powerful deck. We can train as many of them as we want." An old man's voice came from the other end of the line. "His value lies in his having saved the capital and earned him the respect of the people. Do you understand?"

"First, the world he saved. Second, let me emphasize again, Yuan Qi is different from those "duel robots" in your hands. He is a duelist capable of challenging the Duel King!"

"Haha, I also think that the kids under my command can strive for the Duel King title." The old man on the other side of the microphone chuckled hoarsely, "Avis, don't take that guy too seriously. He's just a little brat."

After saying that, the old man hung up the phone without waiting for Avis's reply.

"..." Avis listened to the "beep, beep" sound on the other end of the phone, sitting in the leather chair with a moody look, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, in the whiteboard cabin, three people who were having breakfast watched the news and reacted.

"Yuan Qi... He actually came to the royal capital too?" Bai Ban watched the figures of the young men dueling on TV, his silver eyes flickering slightly.

"What? This bastard dares to return to the capital?!" Beifeng clapped his chopsticks, stood up, and walked towards the door angrily, "If it weren't for him, how could we have ended up like this?! Wait, I'm going to have a dark duel with him and avenge everyone!"

"Don't go, you'll die." Xifeng said calmly after taking a sip of white porridge. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with what he did. He's just standing on the opposite side of us."

"I don't care. My face hasn't been discovered by the Duelist Alliance. I'm just..."

"Aren't you going to save Nanfeng and the others?" Xifeng glanced at Beifeng and said.

Bei Feng's body stiffened, and he sat back down silently.

"The most urgent task is to rescue Nanfeng and the others first. As for Yuan Qi... we can try to get him to become our fighting force." Baiban chuckled.

"Huh? What did you say?" Bei Feng stared at the whiteboard in disbelief. "It's more reliable for us to win over the Duel King than to win over Yuan Qi!"

"No, I remember Nanfeng once said that." Bai Ban lowered his eyelids, as if recalling, "Hongzhong personally handed the life card in his hand to Yuanqi."

"What? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" North Wind shouted loudly, but West Wind beside him was somewhat moved.

"If we can get Yuan Qi to join our team... the success rate of this prison break operation will probably increase significantly..."

When the north wind heard this, it also fell silent.

"How do we win them over?" Bei Feng said, looking at the two people present, and his face suddenly turned pale.

A middle-aged uncle with an unshaven beard, an old lady who looks like a little girl but is actually of unknown age... I am the only young and beautiful girl. In this way, isn't it, isn't it...

"Does it have to be me?!"

Chapter 52: Real Dragon? Real Dragon!

In the old city of the royal capital, outside the door of a somewhat shabby dance hall.

Yuan Qi looked at the door covered with advertisements and asked the team member beside him, "Is this the inside?"

"That's right. Based on our observations over the past few days, this gang's headquarters is hidden in this dance hall. They capture Duel Pokémon and gather them here, then periodically auction and sell them off," a member of Team 123 explained to Yuan Qi. "I'll count to , , , and we'll all break down the door and rush in."

"Okay." Yuan Qi looked at the five group members beside him and nodded. Regardless of what Miao Yan himself was like, the group of people under him seemed to be quite normal.

Although he didn't understand why the Duel Pokémon didn't open the door directly - for example, let Phantom Assassin make a slash or something, but he was only assisting, not the leader, so it was better to listen to this teammate.

"So..." the team member took a deep breath and said, "1, 2... 3!"

"Peng!"

Yuan Qimeng and the team members beside him rushed to open the door.

Immediately afterwards, a pungent fragrance entered Yuan Qi's nose. Yuan Qi looked closely and saw that in this dance hall of about 700 square meters, there were iron cages one after another. In the iron cages, some duel elves were locked inside, either angry or crying.

Around the iron cage was a group of men and women in formal attire and masks. They looked around at these dueling elves, selected them, and silently quoted their prices.

This was a blind shoot.

"Don't move! I'm the Alliance's investigator! Everyone here is suspected of illegally capturing and trading Duel Pokémon. Everyone give up resistance!" The team member who had spoken to Yuan Qi before took out his investigator's ID and shouted at everyone in the room.

Everyone in the dance hall was stunned for a moment, then immediately stretched out their hands in panic, preparing to squat on the spot. At this moment, an elegant voice suddenly rang out: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please do not panic. As the initiator of this auction, I will be responsible for protecting your safety and reputation."

Yuan Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a white tuxedo and a silver mask slowly walking out of the crowd. Behind him, men and women in black tuxedos and black masks stood beside him.

"He is the main target of our operation this time - Ichijo Kenryo." A member of Group 5 said to Hara Nanashi.

Ichijo Kaneryo looked at the investigators in front of him and sneered, "I didn't expect you could actually find your way here. It seems you have some skills. But... now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

As he spoke, he raised his duel disk, and a cold glint flashed in the blue eyes behind the mask as he said, "Come on, dark duel!"

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qi pushed aside the team member standing next to him, raised his duel disk and said, "Let me be your opponent!"

The black mist immediately enveloped the two of them, and before the surrounding scenery disappeared, Yuan Qi caught a glimpse of the surrounding investigators who seemed to be forced to start a dark duel.

"Is it really okay to start a dark duel casually?" Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him.

"The crimes I committed are enough to send me to prison for life. It would be better to die in a Dark Duel than to be caught," Ichijo Kanera said calmly. "Besides... Dark Duels are really addictive."

"Or rather...stealing someone's life and deck." Ichijo Kanera extended his crimson tongue and gently licked his lower lip. "You just pushed the investigator away because you were worried he'd become a target in my Dark Duel, right? You're truly the hero who saved the capital—Contestant Hara Nanashi."

"It seems that my popularity has increased again." Yuan Qi shrugged and inserted his deck into the duel disk.

"Haha, I only heard about you before, but after seeing you with my own eyes today, I realized you're truly worthy of your reputation as a hero... Especially your deck, Pearl Tears of Lament." Ichijo Kaneryo stared intently at Hara Nanamichi. "Such a powerful and beautiful deck is truly enviable, I just want to snatch it away!"

"If you can do it, then give it a try." Yuan Qi didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He had seen many people like Ichijo Kenryo, and this level of behavior couldn't stir up any waves in his heart.

"Hmph, don't you agree? I'll soon regret your current attitude." Ichijo Kanera inserted a deck into the duel board and said, "Duel!"

"Duel!" Yuan Qi said expressionlessly.

At the same time, in a building across from the dance hall, Miao Yan sat on the sofa in front of the window with his legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine that exuded a faint aroma, staring intently at the door of the dance hall: "Looks like it has already begun."

"Team leader, our people are also trapped in the dark duel..." said a man in uniform on the side.

"As an Alliance investigator, encountering dark duels is commonplace. It's no big deal." Miao Yan glanced at the man and said coldly, "Or do you want to help now?"

"No, I spoke out of turn." The man looked frightened and took a step back.

He was not afraid of the dark duel, he just didn't dare to go against the words of the devil.

"Well, I've already given you the hint, don't let me down... Ichijo Kenryo." Miao Yan chuckled, put the red wine glass in his hand to his lips, and tasted it slightly.

……

"Then I choose to take the initiative."

Kenryo Ichijo, who got the chance to choose first or second, chose first without hesitation and quickly drew five cards from the deck.
