My Card Girl's Infinite Evolution

"Darling, how are you going to open this big door?"

Bai Moxue stopped teasing him and turned to look at the metal door, getting back to the point. "This door can only be opened with a key or when the day of the eclipse happens, when the door made of Xuan Iron is at its weakest. Only then can it be unlocked with external force."

"Cheating method."

Luo Sheng gave a confident smile, holding up a white card labeled [Open Door] in front of her.

Then, as Bai Moxue looked on in confusion, he activated the card, and with a rumbling sound... the door to the small vault opened automatically.

"How did you do that?"

A look of surprise appeared on her face, far beyond her expectations.

After all, this was the domain of King Yama, and the metal door wasn't made of ordinary iron but of the mysterious Xuan Iron.

Not only was it incredibly hard, but it was also immune to most spells used by demons and ghosts.

Even cultivators couldn't easily break it unless they were stronger than King Yama.

That was why the treasures in the vault hadn't been looted by demons and ghosts and had been preserved for so long.

Now, Luo Sheng had solved a problem that even King Yama and the other ghostly forces couldn't manage.

"Alright, stop being surprised. Let's take the treasures."

"Mhm."

Inside the vault, most of the items were divine weapons specifically designed to deal with demons and ghosts.

Apart from chains and torture tools, there were also Taoist talismans, spell tokens, rosters, and the most mysterious secret techniques of the underworld.

Bai Moxue put all of them into her pockets. As a ghost with some cultivation, the art of space manipulation was easy for her. However, her space was limited, so she could only take half of the items.

The rest that she couldn't carry were destroyed by Luo Sheng using various methods.

After all, they couldn't leave those items for the demons and ghosts outside. If the underworld's forces grew stronger, life on the mortal plane would become even harder.

After everything was done, the two of them returned along the same path, bound the two ghost soldiers to the motorcycle, and revved the engine, zooming away toward the distance.

About three hours later,

A ghost soldier rushed hastily to Lord Jin's tent, tripping and tumbling, hurriedly shouting, "A-a-a... Big trouble!"

"What's the big trouble?"

A middle-aged, fat man with a black goat-like beard and a fierce expression spoke, exuding an air of authority.

The ghost soldier knelt down and explained everything. It turned out that while they were patrolling, they noticed someone sneaking into the Yama Ghost Temple.

Despite their fear of the temple, they went inside to check.

They found that the statue had been moved, and when they entered the tunnel, the vault's metal door had been opened. All the treasures inside had been looted, and the rest had been completely destroyed.

"What?!"

Lord Jin was stunned.

He immediately gathered his men and headed to the Yama Ghost Temple, only to see everything as the ghost soldier had reported.

It was hard to believe that someone had managed to open the vault door.

Lord Jin paused for a long time. "This is impossible! No one could open this door unless they have the key of King Yama!"

The door was something even he couldn't open. King Yama himself couldn't believe that anyone could open it with external force.

Other forces soon arrived and wore expressions similar to Lord Jin's, silent for a long time.

Some even mistakenly thought that King Yama's people had returned.

But there was no aura of King Yama here.

Eventually, they looked to Lord Jin.

A dispute soon broke out. Many suspected that since Lord Jin was the first to arrive, he must have the key of King Yama.

They thought he planned to monopolize the treasures and made up the story of the theft to clear his name.

Lord Jin, of course, denied it, and with his explosive temper, arguments erupted.

The two sides fought fiercely, causing chaos and darkness to fall.

In the end, both sides were exhausted, and they had no choice but to call it quits and return to their residences to recuperate.

...

Meanwhile,

Back at the inn, Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue began dividing the spoils.

Soul Bells, Taiyin Talisman, Demon-binding Ropes, and other treasures.

Of course, the most important one was the Purification Heavenly Secret Spell, a secret technique that could be used by both human cultivators and ghosts.

"I didn't expect such a huge harvest this time. I can already imagine how angry Old Jin will be when he realizes that the treasures he was about to seize were stolen by us. He'll probably be furious."

Bai Moxue smiled and spoke lightly.

However, she didn't touch the items on the table. Since they were obtained by Luo Sheng, she felt they should belong to him.

"These are all your items, take them," Luo Sheng said, pushing all the treasures back toward her.

"You don't want them?"

Bai Moxue was stunned.

Each of these items was worth a fortune. If they were put outside, how many ghost kings would fight over them, killing each other for them?

And he was just giving them to her?

How much did her husband care about her?

Bai Moxue was confused but also a little touched.

Luo Sheng was able to resist temptation and give her the best things. However, she was still puzzled. "Aren't you afraid that when I become stronger, I might leave you?"

"These were originally your dowry," Luo Sheng said in a righteous tone, then smiled and looked at her. "Besides, I don't think you'll leave me. I trust you, just like that night you trusted me. You can consider me as someone who's lost in your charms, but no matter what, you're stuck with me for this lifetime."

Bai Moxue's face immediately turned red, and a warm blush spread to her ears.

She covered her delicate face with both hands. "Heh~ You're so cheesy, aren't you embarrassed? Is this how you used to woo girls?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and joked, "If I could woo girls like this, I'd have had a harem by now. I wouldn't be marrying a ghost and becoming a death knight."

"So you're saying you're unhappy to marry me, huh?"

Bai Moxue playfully scolded him.

"How could I? I'm happy, it's just that if I posted this on the forum and wrote an interdimensional guide, I'd probably make a lot of people envious."

"Forum? Interdimensional guide?"

"Ahem, just a weird thing. Never mind, maybe you'll see it in the future," Luo Sheng cleared his throat and deflected the topic.

Then he immediately changed the subject. "Hurry up and put these away. Don't you want revenge?"

"Well... okay."

Before she put them away, Bai Moxue crystallized a drop of fresh red blood and handed it to Luo Sheng.

"This is my most important soul and blood. If you crush it, I'll be shattered. Keep it."

"Wait... what?"

Luo Sheng was amused and helpless. You're my card, why would I need your blood and soul?

The trashy man quotes earlier were just for reassurance; after all, with the cards in hand, he could always find her, no matter where she went.

Luo Sheng immediately put the blood back into her hand, serious. "I don't need it. If you still consider me your fiancé, keep it. Don't bring it out again, and take care of yourself, okay?"

"You..."

Bai Moxue didn't know what to say. Was there really someone this foolish in the world?

Gradually, her eyes became misty, and red tears kept falling down her face, unable to be wiped away, slipping down her cheeks. Her delicate nose also turned rosy.

Huh... why am I crying?

She continued crying like a delicate flower in the rain, seeming like a little girl who had suffered a lot but had finally received comfort, shedding all her grievances and pretenses.
