A duelist never gives up!

Noah looked at his father in disbelief, the father who once carried him on his shoulders to play, the father who liked to prick his little face with his stubble, the father who put the only eggs and meat in his bowl, the gentle, hardworking father who loved to laugh - suddenly became a stranger in this moment.

"Why?" Noah's face showed an expression of anger and sadness, and crystal tears swirled in her eyes. "Just because you want to become a duelist? Just because of this, you're abandoning me? Am I not... your daughter?"

"Don't look at us like that!" Noah's mother couldn't help but scream, holding her head. "Someone has to die, you just happened to be chosen! That's right... This must be the arrangement of the God of Duel. The God of Duel chose you! This is God's will! You can't disobey! You can't disobey! You can't disobey!"

Yuan Qi looked at Noah's parents and felt his scalp tingle. God's will? Are you kidding? It was clearly human malice and greed!

"Ah, so that's how it is." Noah nodded, a hint of a sneer on his lips. "Everyone wants me dead. I thought you were all different, but it turns out you're all the same."

Noah's parents didn't say anything, they just turned their heads away, not daring to look at Noah's face. The patriarch on the side watched the scene with an expressionless face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Do we still need to take them away?" Yuan Qi noticed that Noah's mood was a little strange, and gently held Noah's little hand.

"No need." Noah shook his head and broke free from Yuan Qi's hand. "Yuan Qi, don't you want to know how to save Ino?"

Yuan Qi frowned slightly, and a sense of foreboding came over him: "This is not the place to talk, let's leave first."

"No, I want to tell you now." Noah swaggered forward. Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, he picked up a sharp knife from the clean tablecloth and held it in front of him. "I don't know why, but from what old man Sasha said, two witches are needed to make a wish come true, so..."

"If even one of them dies, this condition won't be met!" Noah pointed the knife at his chest and laughed wildly, "Since everyone wants me dead, then I'll die! But I don't intend to die for a bunch of selfish guys like you. I want to die for someone who is truly worthy of my life!"

"Idiot! Don't do such a stupid thing!" Yuan Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pounced on him at the fastest speed in his life, but at this critical moment, a feeling of fatigue suddenly swept over him!

Soul Egg! Why at this moment?

Everything in front of him suddenly became blurry, and at the last moment before Yuan Qi lost consciousness, he heard the sound of the knife tip piercing his skin.

"Pfft!"

The smell of blood rushed into Yuan Qi's nostrils, and the next second, Yuan Qi fell into a coma.

When Yuan Qi woke up again, he saw a pair of big blue eyes.

"Are you awake?" Xuefeng gently placed her hand on Yuan Qi's head and stroked it gently. "Would you like to rest on my lap for a while, or should I help you back to your room?"

After a moment of silence, Yuan Qi said, "I want to lie down like this for a while."

"Well, it doesn't matter how long you lie down." Xuefeng nodded with a smile.

"Hey...if you lie down again, I'll be jealous." Sera, who was standing not far away, muttered softly.

"Aren't you being so modest and generous?" Julie playfully rolled her eyes, then revealed a worried look and said, "Yuan Qi doesn't look too well."

"I feel for him now, don't I?" Sera lowered her eyelids and sighed softly, "That night... I should have attacked Yuan Qi earlier."

This might prevent Yuan Qi from participating in this trial.

"That night? Night raid?" Julie looked at Sera suspiciously, reached out and pinched Sera's cheek and said, "You're quite courageous. As a piece of fat meat, you actually offered yourself to the big bad wolf to eat?"

"The meat is meant to be eaten by the big bad wolf. Besides, I'm not fat, I'm lean meat!" Sera corrected.

Julie slid her palm from Sera's flat chest to her belly and said sympathetically, "It's indeed lean meat."

Sera was immediately enraged: "A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated! I want to duel with you!"

"With pleasure." Julie shrugged.

At the same time, under the same night sky, a sleeping Duel King was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who? What's the matter?" Purva asked directly without even opening her eyes.

"Lord Duel King, may I ask... is Nero still in the room?" As soon as Gui, who was standing outside the door, finished speaking, Purlivia, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

She slowly sat up from the bed and looked to her side. The Nero in pajamas that she remembered before going to bed was now gone.

Purlivia frowned and reached into the quilt.

cold.

Not going to the bathroom.

"He's not here." Purviya said as she got up from the bed, picked up her coat hanging on the chair and began to grope around.

"What about the deck? Is it still there?" Gui asked again.

"She doesn't have the guts yet." Purlivia sneered, rummaging through all her pockets and confirming a fact. "Sure enough, the pointer is gone."

"It seems what Miao Yan said is true." Gui sighed and slowly said the fact that she could not imagine, "Nero stole the pointer and ran away alone."

"Snapped!"

The door of the room was suddenly opened. Purviya was wearing a khaki windbreaker, and her black eyes flashed with a cold light: "Miao Yan saw Nero? Where is he?"

"Um, he was near the hotel just a few minutes ago." Gui said helplessly.

"Why are you notifying us now?" Purviya asked somewhat displeased.

"Because he tried to stop Nero with a duel, and..." Katsura twitched his lips, "and he lost."

“…It’s really useless.”

Chapter 88: Satisfy me.

The next day, when Yuan Qi walked down from upstairs, he found that everyone was gathered neatly around the dining table. This made him subconsciously recall the scene of last night, and his eyebrows unconsciously frowned.

"Sorry to have made you all wait for me again." Yuan Qi rubbed his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Don't force yourself if you're in a bad mood. No one will mind even if you look sad." Julie said lightly.

Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then felt a warmth in his heart, and the smile on his face became much more natural. "I was feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but after hearing what you said, I feel better. Thanks, Julie."

Julie's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face looked a little unnatural as she said, "Don't call my name suddenly, it's awkward."

"Is Julie the type who gets shy when her name is called?" Sera poked Julie's thigh under the table proudly.

"No, it's just that we don't need to call each other's names in normal communication, so I'm a little uncomfortable when being called suddenly. Besides... there's no need for us to thank each other like this." Julie shook her head. She didn't want to admit that her heartbeat quickened for a moment just now.

"No matter what kind of feelings it is, they must be expressed through words or actions." Yuan Qi chuckled, "There's no point in hiding them in your heart."

"thump!"

"thump!"

As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, the heartbeats of two people present suddenly quickened.

There's no point in keeping it in my heart... Is Yuan Qi hinting at me to confess my feelings?

Or is he going to confess his feelings to me?!

Xuefeng, who was sitting next to Yuan Qi, blushed and rubbed her smooth thighs shyly under her skirt.

Action? Yuan Qi meant... that I should be more proactive?!

Sera's eyes lit up and a cheerful look appeared on the corners of her mouth. What? It seems that my body is quite attractive to classmate Yuan Qi. Do you want tonight... No, Yuan Qi will participate in the trial tonight. Damn it, I haven't had a night raid since the trial started!

But speaking of trials...

"What did you experience last night?" The blush on Sera's face due to excitement slowly faded, replaced by a worried expression. "You seem to be in a bad state when you woke up."

Yuan Qi opened his dry lips, took a deep breath and said, "Actually..."

"..."

"Are you really going to sacrifice your soul? But Noah's solution is too impulsive. Let's wait and see, maybe there will be a better way." Baiban shook his head, thinking that Noah's behavior was too reckless.

"Trading a life for another... that's not really a solution at all." Xuefeng said, feeling distressed for Noah. "Everyone's life is precious. How can we just give up the chance to live like this?... When you lost consciousness, Yuan Qi, Noah was still alive, right?"

"Well, next time I go to that world, if I react quickly, I should... no, I will definitely be able to save him!" Yuan Qi said with clenched fists. Although the knife may have pierced the skin, if the wound is not deep, there is still a way to save him. Besides, that person is a duelist, and a duelist should have very good physical fitness.

"The most urgent thing now is how to rescue both of them." Yuan Qi said worriedly. Even in a world where duels are supreme, he cannot use duels to fight against the will of everyone in the world.

"Why not just kill that guy named Sasha?" Beifeng suggested. "From what I've heard, it seems like he's the mastermind, right? If we just get rid of him, that should solve the problem, right?"

"Does getting rid of mean... killing?" Xuefeng said in a daze.

Bei Feng was slightly taken aback, and suddenly realized that Xue Feng might not have much experience in this matter, so he said tactfully: "It's okay to lock him up, and provide him with good food and drink. He's already an adult anyway, and he doesn't have many years to live anyway."

"How is that possible?" Julie shook her head. "Sasha isn't the only one who knows about this. If nothing else, at least a lot of people in the Black Magician's tribe should know about it. Are you planning to eliminate them all?"

"It's possible, actually." Honglian said suddenly, "If Sasha wants to keep Yuan Qi safe, he probably won't spread this news widely. In other words, the only people who know about it are a small number of people in the Black Magician Tribe and the leaders of other tribes who were misled by Sasha. As long as these people are eliminated, the problem will be solved."

"No! Absolutely not!" Sera quickly denied, "I don't agree with this method!"

Just kidding, if this method is implemented, at least a hundred lives will be lost. Sera doesn't want Yuan Qi to bear this heavy sin on his shoulders.

"Why not?" Honglian asked curiously, "Isn't it an illusion? Don't put pressure on yourself. Just cut it off like a paper man."

"Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to kill more people just to save two lives?" Xuefeng retorted, "Even if they aren't real lives, you can't do that!"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Honglian asked back.

"Hmm... find a secluded place and hide." Xuefeng suggested quietly, "Why not hide somewhere where no one can find us?"

"What if we are found?" Honglian continued to ask.

"Then keep running. Anyway, Yuan Qi and Noah are both very powerful duelists in that world. Even if we don't defeat everyone, escaping should be no problem, right?" Xuefeng said seriously.

"How negative... Isn't this just putting your fate in the hands of others?" Honglian scratched her hair, expressing her disapproval.

"But killing is never good." Xuefeng said with pursed lips.

"I told you it's virtual..." Honglian sighed, then looked at Yuan Qi and said, "So, which method are you going to use?"

Upon hearing this, Xuefeng also turned his gaze to Yuan Qi and said expectantly, "Yuan Qi doesn't want to hurt others, right?"

Yuan Qi felt the two people's fiery gazes and fell into an inner struggle. The methods proposed by both people made sense, but he couldn't make a choice for a while.

"Sorry, let me think about it." Yuan Qi said, stood up from the dining table, and hurried upstairs.

"Wait, you haven't had breakfast yet!" Sera glanced at the untouched meat porridge in front of Yuan Qisuo and glared at Xuefeng and Honglian in dissatisfaction, "At least wait until he finishes his meal?"

"Alright, I admit my question was a bit inappropriate," Honglian said, raising his hands in surrender. "But nothing is perfect. If you want something, you have to lose something... There's no such thing as a wish that can be fulfilled without paying any price. I hope he can think it over carefully."

Yuan Qi once again returned to his room, sitting on the bed with his chin down like a thinker, thinking about which method would be better. However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded in front of him.

"Neither method is good. Indicators are meaningless if they don't address the root cause."

Yuan Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the little girl who was suddenly floating in the air. His tense expression relaxed slightly. He whispered the girl's name with a slight smile on his face: "Ayi."

"Huh, you're calling me that in a rather affectionate way..." Ai said unhappily, crossing her arms. "You clearly promised me last night that you would come out after the duel... but you didn't even bother calling me out until I called you!"

"I'm sorry, too many things happened and my mind is a little confused." Yuan Qi said apologetically.

"Do you think I'll forgive you just because you said that?" Ai was about to say something, but when she saw Yuan Qi's tired face, her heart softened. "Forget it, who made me like you? I'll tell you, I've come up with a better solution than the other two."

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What is it?"

"Hehehe..." Ai chuckled a few times, and a cute little face suddenly came towards Yuan Qi.

"If you want to know, you have to meet one of my conditions." Ai whispered softly in Yuan Qi's ear.

"What conditions?" Yuan Qi swallowed, his heart beating faster for some reason.

Ai slowly opened her rosy lips, a beautiful blush on her face: "Satisfy me."

Chapter 90: Be careful of burns when eating barbecue.

Perlivia stood on the busy street, scanning the people passing by with her cold black eyes. Although Nero might have left the city, perhaps she could find people in the city who had come into contact with Nero from the remaining duel power.

Although she had long known that Nero was a traitor on Yuan Qi's side, she had never expected that she would commit such a shameful act as stealing. It seemed that after she found Nero, she would have to do what an elder should do.

"found it."

Just as Purlivia was thinking about whether to use a cooperative method to educate Nero, Avis's voice sounded from behind her.

"Have you found Nero?" There was a hint of excitement in Purlivia's low voice. Perhaps she herself didn't even notice how angry she was at the moment.

"No, Nero wasn't found." Avis shook his head, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Perlivia, "But our Duelist League's commissioner found this in this city."

"Wow." Perlivia narrowed her eyes slightly and took the photo. "I hope the content above can make me feel better now."

"I think you might feel better after seeing this photo," Avis said calmly. "After all, what could be more pleasant than meeting an old friend in a strange city?"

Perlivia looked at the two familiar figures in the photo, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "You make sense. Where are they?"

"It's in a bar about one kilometer away. The address is written on the back of the photo. Do you need me to take you there?" Avis said. After all, he didn't give the photo to Perlivia just to let her reminisce with her old friends.

"No need." Purlivia put the photo into her pocket and stepped out with her right foot. "Don't worry, I will bring them both back."
