My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

Luo Sheng swallowed hard and said, "You can't say that. Who knows, maybe I'm the enemy of the Ghost King?"

"Really? I don't believe it," Bai Moxue replied with a smile.

Once again, the cold sensation lingered. Luo Sheng, using the last of his self-control, added, "Stop this. If you keep this up, I might scream!"

"Go ahead, no one will care if you scream until your throat is torn."

Luo Sheng turned his head and noticed that the entire inn room had indeed been sealed off with a barrier, blocking out sound.

He closed his eyes and quietly waited for the "spring day" judgment.

A second or two passed, and there was still no movement.

Luo Sheng opened his eyes.

He saw that Bai Moxue had stopped.

Bai Moxue withdrew her legs and sat cross-legged on the bed, seemingly regaining her composure.

Red tears fell from her eyes, leaving bloody streaks on her face. She continuously wiped them away, appearing fragile and aggrieved, almost as if she was feeling sorry for herself and others.

Ah, this...

Luo Sheng scratched his nose, "Uh, are you sure you haven't been sunburned or something?"

This was the first time Luo Sheng encountered such a unique card character.

She was strange, leaving him completely confused—one moment, she was sultry and delicate, like a courtesan from a palace; the next, she was crying pitifully, resembling a wronged noble maiden.

A woman's heart is as deep as the ocean.

Unlike Alice, who was a pure, innocent girl with white hair, Bai Moxue was unpredictable.

"Sorry, I was reckless. I shouldn't be so frivolous with my benefactor," Bai Moxue wiped away her red tears, her nose still a little red, returning to her normal state. "I just want revenge quickly."

"Is it because the Ghost King turned you into someone from the underworld?"

Luo Sheng sat on the bed and asked sympathetically.

"Not entirely."

Bai Moxue began her story.

It turned out that her ancestors were exorcists and practitioners of the human realm.

But at some point, the world turned upside down. The original underworld suddenly mutated, and the City God Temple malfunctioned. The gods who maintained order disappeared one by one.

A large number of demons and ghosts emerged from the underworld to wreak havoc in the human world. Chaos ensued, and many righteous cultivators were slaughtered by demons and monsters.

The balance between the underworld and the human world was disrupted.

Bai Moxue's parents and grandfather died in this disaster, and the one who killed them was the aforementioned Ghost King of Fengdu.

Years ago, the Bai family had seriously wounded the Ghost King and hunted down many of his subordinates, which made him hold a grudge.

Moreover, the Ghost King had a strange obsession.

Once he destroyed an enemy family, he would force the enemy's young women to become his concubines, watching them struggle in despair, ultimately breaking and submitting to him.

He took pleasure in this perverse act, which disgusted anyone who heard of it.

At that time, Bai Moxue was hidden by her parents in a village. But the Ghost King still found her.

Thus, Bai Moxue could not escape her fate and became the Ghost King's concubine.

The Ghost King sent demons and monsters to cause trouble in the village, forcing them to hand over Bai Moxue, making her a part of the underworld, which led to the events that had already unfolded.

She was desperate to take revenge but also terrified. So, she took extreme measures to temporarily boost her power and intended to die with the Ghost King to avenge her family.

"So, you plan to sacrifice me to boost your strength and then go after the Ghost King?"

Luo Sheng furrowed his brows, looking perplexed.

Good grief.

This was the first time he'd heard of a card character trying to sacrifice their card master.

If he really were sacrificed, he'd probably become the biggest joke in card master history.

"That's not it! I just wanted to boost my strength a little before going after him. And it won't harm you much; you'll just need a few months to recover. You'll be fine. It's just a little bit of essence energy loss. If you want to heal faster, drinking some tonic wine will get you back to normal."

Bai Moxue hurriedly explained.

Finally, her fair face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Especially after she had been so weak and her soul in turmoil.

Her obsession with revenge had become even stronger, and in a moment of desperation, she'd acted impulsively, as it was her first time as a ghost and lacked experience.

"Fine, I forgive you. After all, your situation is quite tragic. But don't worry. I believe one day you'll defeat him and avenge your family."

Luo Sheng smiled.

The previous troubles faded away.

Bai Moxue was still his card character, and even though she had acted in such a rebellious way by attempting to sacrifice her card master, he still forgave her.

After all, he was a great benefactor.

"Uh..."

At this point, Bai Moxue hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Could I marry you?"

"Again?"

Luo Sheng was stunned.

Bai Moxue revealed her fragrant shoulder, and on her fair, delicate skin, a vibrant peony tattoo was visible.

She explained, "This is a mark placed by the Ghost King to prevent his concubines from being harmed by the marriage procession or his subordinates. As long as the tattoo remains, it means this woman is still pure.

I want you to help me remove it. I'd rather die than become his concubine!"

Bai Moxue said the last sentence with gritted teeth.

The hatred of her family's destruction made it hard for her to let go.

She was willing to fight back in this extreme way.

"But do you really want this?"

Luo Sheng asked seriously.

Even as a couple, he didn't want it to be under such circumstances.

There was no emotional foundation, only a physical connection, like they were forced together and just settling for it.

Moreover, he wasn't some emotionless stallion; this kind of thing was draining.

"Don't worry. I'm willing."

Bai Moxue lowered her head slightly and said, "Although this is the first time I've met you, I feel an inexplicable familiarity and closeness, as if we had a deep connection in a past life. Perhaps it was a fate.

After all, after becoming a ghost, I've become very sensitive to past lives and human emotions.

Besides, if you don't give me a bit of essence energy, I'll vanish. Forget about revenge then…"

Bai Moxue said with a wry smile.

Then, she showed Luo Sheng her now-transparent little hand, which was gradually dissipating. She was incredibly fragile at this moment.

This was her first time as a ghost, and she had been exposed to the scorching sun during the day and traveled tirelessly, which had made her body even weaker.

"Uh…"

Luo Sheng hesitated for a moment, about to speak.

Bai Moxue quickly explained, "Don't worry, benefactor. I can tell that you're not an ordinary person.

Because ordinary mortals couldn't have such abundant essence energy. Your energy is far thicker than that of regular cultivators.

You're like a chosen one, with a pure Yang body, and your essence energy is like a great tonic for ghosts. Even if you lose some, it'll replenish quickly. That's why I couldn't help myself…"

At this point, Bai Moxue lowered her head.

Luo Sheng began to understand.

As a card master, especially as he leveled up, his mental power became more robust.

His body and limbs were also strengthened through the infusion of mental power.

So, in this card world, he resembled a cultivator, and Bai Moxue's essence energy probably referred to his mental energy.

According to her, his physical condition made him easy prey for demons and ghosts, attracting them.

"Since you've put it like that, what can I do? As your benefactor, I guess I'm just bound to go all the way to save you. Let's do it!"

Luo Sheng said, climbing over eagerly.

"Aren't you worried? After all, you just said you didn't want to become a death knight?"

Bai Moxue teased.

"Although I disdain becoming a death knight, what's the harm in sacrificing a little reputation to save you?"

Luo Sheng said with righteous enthusiasm. He was prepared to go all in.

Becoming a death knight just once wasn't a big deal.

After all, I'm a great benefactor!
