Chapter 13: Chapter 13: I Also Want to Be Carried
"This is the first real-name card!"
A smile of excitement spread across Luo Sheng's face. Real-name cards are generally rare.
Unlike Acoley and Alice, where both cards developed unique stories through his intervention, [Ghost Concubine - Bai Moxue] was entirely different. Without any intervention or enhancement on his part, it already had a name, a unique backstory, and special abilities.
There was almost no other copy of it in the market.
As for other normal monster cards, they just have category names, like [Bull Head Warden] and [Horse-faced Guard]. They don't have real names. This means they are not unique and can be encountered anywhere in the ghost realm's other dimensions—cards that anyone can own.
In terms of quality, Bai Moxue is a rare card with greater potential and a higher power level than most cards of the same rank.
However, battling Bai Moxue made Luo Sheng break out in a cold sweat.
Though her damage wasn't high, she leaned toward being an assassin-type. More importantly, she could disrupt the enemy's mind, causing mental confusion.
Fortunately, with the help of his mysterious power, Luo Sheng's [Bull Head Warden] and [Horse-faced Guard] had reached a stage where their compatibility was at the fourth level. He was able to easily use these cards that naturally countered the ghost demons.
Luo Sheng held the [Ghost Concubine - Bai Moxue] card, and a brief flash of light appeared in his eyes. The information and imagery of the card appeared in his mind:
A black-haired, youthful girl was sacrificed by the villagers and placed in a ghost sedan chair. Little demons carried the chair into the underworld. The girl's heart was cold, and tears dropped from her eyes as she tightly clutched a golden pair of scissors, torn between killing herself or dying with the Ghost King...
This card can be enhanced. The options are as follows:
[ A world of madness and chaos: The villagers, in order to gain favor from the Ghost King, offered Bai Mo Xue as a sacrifice. She was made into the Ghost King's concubine in the underworld. Bai Mo Xue may need help escaping this dark future.
Fuse with [Black Mist] to gain new powers.
If you have enough cards, a miracle might happen. ]
After reading the enhancement options, Luo Sheng fell into thought.
Hmm… competing for a wife with the Ghost King seems quite dangerous. Bai Moxue is already strong enough, but she still can't escape. The Ghost King's subordinates are likely not weak either, probably around the level of Bronze 7-8 stars.
This needs to be carefully considered, and on top of that, ghost demons are naturally hard to deal with.
Sigh "If I don't enter the underworld, who will?"
Luo Sheng looked at the card's image, seeing the delicate black-haired girl. His heart softened.
He had never considered becoming a ghost knight like Ning Caichen. But life on Earth isn't worth it. You wouldn't want to see a black-haired, youthful ghost girl being mistreated by an old, faded Ghost King, would you?
Luo Sheng returned the [Bull Head Warden] card to his collection. As long as the card wasn't destroyed in battle, he could summon it again after retrieving it.
If a card is destroyed, it only takes a day to cool down before it can be summoned again.
He summoned Bai Moxue.
Though she was a rare-quality Bronze 5-star card, her compatibility had already reached the fourth level (80). Therefore, Luo Sheng didn't use much mental power.
Especially since his spiritual energy had recently surged, reaching Bronze 3-star after two rapid upgrades. His spiritual power was much stronger now, with a lasting duration of 18 hours.
Once Bai Moxue was summoned, she swiftly hid in the shadows, standing guard around him.
Luo Sheng turned his head and saw Wang Keai, collapsed and powerless, slumped in the corner of the wall.
"You scared the hell out of me," Wang Keai said, sweat pouring down her face, her clothes completely soaked, breathing heavily.
She wanted to thank Luo Sheng, but as she saw him raise his phone and snap a picture, she cried out, "What are you doing?!"
Luo Sheng responded, "Taking a picture, Miss Wang. It's rare for you to wet your pants."
Wang Keai retorted, "I didn't!"
Luo Sheng smirked. "Then what's that yellow liquid on your pants?"
Wang Keai snapped, "Sweat!"
Luo Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Let me taste it and see?"
Wang Keai shouted, "Pervert!"
She kicked at him angrily, but Luo Sheng's mech didn't budge, and her foot hit solid metal. She winced, tears welling up from the pain.
"You bastard! If you dare send that picture out, you'll be sleeping on the street corner tonight!"
Luo Sheng grinned. "Thanks! I'll sleep right next to Qin Jianjia tonight, and you'll have her bothering me every day."
Wang Keai snapped back, "You two are shameless! What's wrong with living together?"
Luo Sheng agreed. "It's true."
He put on his mech helmet, preparing to leave.
When Wang Keai saw him about to go, she hurriedly squeezed her foot and called out, "I…!"
Luo Sheng tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I… I…" Wang Keai's face turned red, and she nervously rubbed her fingertips before finally saying through clenched teeth, "I twisted my foot. Can you take me with you?"
"Sure." Luo Sheng nodded. He then turned to Bai Moxue. "You carry her."
Bai Moxue crawled out of the shattered mirror on the floor, resembling a ghostly figure. Her long black hair obscured her face, making her look even eerier. Especially when a strange smile appeared on her face.
"No, no!"
Wang Keai's heart was in her throat. Bai Moxue caused her an irreparable mental trauma. Seeing her persistent defiance, Bai Moxue reluctantly made a hand gesture and silently returned to the mirror.
Luo Sheng sighed, then summoned the [Bull Head Warden] again and ordered, "Pick her up."
Wang Keai saw the Minotaur, with its massive muscles and arms bigger than her waist. She frowned, her expression resembling that of a senior citizen on the subway.
"Are you doing this on purpose? Can't you summon something better?" she pouted, then added, "Don't worry, when we get back, I'll give you a huge reward. Enough to make you fat!"
Damn rich woman.
Luo Sheng still bowed his head to the wealthy forces.
In the end, Wang Keai was carried onto Acoley's back.
She was afraid of Bai Moxue and found Alice's half-mechanical body distasteful, so she chose the soft feeling of Acoley instead.
Damn it! I want to be carried too.
Luo Sheng watched Wang Keai snuggle against Acoley, feeling envious.
He had never been carried by Acoley.
The [Bull Head Warden] seemed to sense Luo Sheng's desire and kept flexing its muscles, showing off its biceps, shoulders, abs, and ten-pack abs as if it were a bodybuilder on stage.
Luo Sheng froze, sweating. "Uh… I'm a pure-hearted warrior. Warden, you can leave now."
"Moo…" The Minotaur lowered its head.
"No, why does a big bull look disappointed?"
Luo Sheng instantly felt a chill down his spine. He quickly turned it back into a card.
