Master of Kaidan

Chapter 49 Leisure

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 LeisureCompared to Chen Xiyao’s nervous unease, Feng Xue had a rather good haul today. Perhaps this linked world had quite a few Yu-Gi-Oh game elements, allowing him to scavenge enough cards to constitute several decks... of course, those were mainly Synchro and Xyz-centric, with no extras of the sort.

However, he was curious why cards like Three-eyed Monster, Assassin Tomato, and Witch of the Black Forest were discarded like trash.

But then he thought of the cards Brother Crab had found in the dump, and also those zero-attack, zero-defense Monsters in the well behind Duel Academy; it seemed not so Hard to Understand after all.

Stuffing a pair of stockings with "Invalid" and "Elf" elements into his deck, he continued

"Can’t tell if that girl ran away or hid."

While Feng Xue pondered this, he prepared to tackle the conspicuously inconspicuous cardboard box, but to no avail—

It was normal not to find her, but considering the commotion he made, shouldn’t that girl have come out on her own?

"Did that girl actually run away? No way, right?" Feng Xue furrowed his brow, feeling unexpectedly disappointed. It would be the first time since crossing over that he tried to trust someone, and it had not even succeeded?

Regardless, her disappearance meant this house was probably no longer Safe, and without much thought, he turned to leave.

But just as he pivoted, a noise from behind made Feng Xue spin around instantly, catching the figure that lunged at him.

"F**k!" He barely refrained from unleashing a chokehold and intercepting the unexpected assailant, steadying the sobbing girl who seemingly kept her cries discreet enough not to carry too far.

Feng Xue gently ruffled the girl’s hair, then said resignedly:

"If you’re so scared, why play such pranks on me?"

"It’s not a prank! You kept staring this way; I couldn’t lift the box!" Chen Xiyao took a deep breath to steady herself, her face flushing red. It was then that Feng Xue remembered the accursed cardboard box, and its attribute of being unable to move when caught in someone’s gaze...

"Alright, it’s done. You haven’t used the restroom all day; you must be bursting. Let’s hurry up and finish this; we’ve got to move house afterwards..."

As he started to walk out, Feng Xue suddenly realized something was amiss. The girl’s expression was now redder than before.

"You didn’t...?"

"Don’t ask!"

"So does this mean you could also, in the future..."

"I said don’t ask, and don’t even think about it!"
