Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Bai Moxue's Calculations
"You better explain yourself well."
Suddenly, Bai Moxue pulled out a pair of golden scissors and smiled as she stared at Luo Sheng.
He immediately felt a chill down his spine and quickly covered his lower body: "Wait, let's talk this out. Why bring out scissors? Can't you just accept that it's my scent? People like fragrant things too, you know."
"Is that so?"
"Of course, I'm an honest man..."
Pfft, she chuckled and said, "I'm just kidding, no need to be so nervous. I'm not an unreasonable wife, nor am I a shrew."
Bai Moxue smiled mischievously, then put the golden scissors away.
She continued, "I know I'm a ghost from the underworld, so I can't help you have children. However, if you want to take a concubine in the future, it has to pass my judgment. You can't just take in unclean women. It could affect your luck."
Luo Sheng nodded repeatedly, assuring her.
But deep down, he was thinking it might be best not to summon her too often in the future. If there's a fight between cards, the house would be destroyed, and his mental energy would be drained. He'd be the one who suffers.
After all, he had experience with Alice.
Luo Sheng had already prepared another phone in the room to keep the card girl entertained.
Bai Moxue was browsing the store on her phone.
Luo Sheng, on the other hand, was scrolling through a forum and looking at the news headlines:
[Alliance News: Dragon City restoration project encounters an accident, causing 20 casualties.]
[Pingcheng News: Abnormal energy fluctuations in the ghost realm, guards have re-sealed it, currently suspected to be caused by an evil card master.]
[Academy News: Pingcheng School will hold a five-school alliance event at the end of this semester, with many prizes including super cards.]
[Gossip News: Shocking! A new card master actually owns a talking, smiling girl card. Is it a distortion of humanity or moral decay? The official statement hasn't been made yet.]
Luo Sheng quickly skimmed through it and skipped to the Academy's card master rankings:
1. Qin Jianqia, Bronze 8 stars, 76%.
2. Wang Ke'ai, Bronze 6 stars, 56%.
3. Li Shiyu, Bronze 6 stars, 54%.
4. Xu Yourong, Bronze 6 stars, 50%.
5. Zhao Haifeng, Bronze 5 stars, 49%.
"These people seem like they've been injected with chicken blood, growing so fast," Luo Sheng wondered.
Then, he looked at his own rank. Based on his previous battle as a Bronze 4-star, he had already ranked within the top 100.
While browsing, Bai Moxue arrived with a package. She opened the box, weighed the new clothes, and said to Luo Sheng, "I'm going to bathe now~"
"Mm, go ahead."
"Don't you want to join me?"
"Is that an option?!"
Luo Sheng's eyes lit up, standing tall and proud, "Come on in~"
Bai Moxue squinted, smiling knowingly, as if her cunning plan had succeeded. She walked lightly toward him…

...
Morning.
Luo Sheng groggily woke up to find himself alone on the large white bed. The person next to him had already turned into a card.
He had once again become a card master.
sigh... "This can't go on. Too much of a good thing, and I'll end up in an early grave!"
Luo Sheng groaned as his body ached, his waist feeling weak, as if he had been drained completely.
Who could handle this? Nine kidneys wouldn't be enough.
Of course, as for Bai Moxue...
In the words of Lu Shengxian, it could be summed up in two words: "Need to replenish the kidneys!"
With one hand propped on his waist, he slowly sat up and noticed a bowl of warm soup on the table, with a piece of paper underneath.
Luo Sheng picked it up and saw that it was from Bai Moxue, with a note that read: [Wolfberry and deer antler soup, drink while hot, from the holy city's great master – little lady's reminder.]
"…"
Luo Sheng frowned, a surge of anger rising within him. Someone was challenging his authority.
This was a blatant provocation. That damned woman! Once I become a Restoration Master, we'll see who's better! Luo Sheng silently made a decision to become the strongest.
Card master authority must not be infringed upon!
sigh… "Forget it, I'll just drink it."
Luo Sheng had to endure for now. After all, he did need these nourishing things, so he buried his face in the bowl and drank it down.
...
After washing up, Luo Sheng left his room and found Qin Jianqia sitting on the couch as usual, holding a book.
She didn't look up and said, "Good morning, Master of Opening Doors."
Luo Sheng was speechless: "Can't you change my nickname? This is a blatant provocation! The dignity of a card master is sacred and inviolable!"
"What do you want to do? Duel?"
"I have no such worldly desires."
"???"
Qin Jianqia furrowed her brows and glanced at him again. "You're out of energy. Young people need to practice restraint."
"Where are you going with this? I was just eager to show you my eight-pack abs. Practicing Qi and twisting my waist," Luo Sheng said with a serious face, making up nonsense.
"Really? I don't believe you."
Qin Jianqia put down the book, crossed her legs, and leaned back on the soft sofa, eyeing him.
"What's with that old, grumpy look?" Luo Sheng found her actions ridiculous and casually showed his Bronze 5-star card master mental energy, "Now do you believe me?"
Then, he plopped down on the couch, adopting a lazy posture.
Qin Jianqia still said, "You're out of energy."
"Do I not know if I'm out of energy? Want to test it?" Luo Sheng flashed a mischievous smile.
"Pervert."
With those two words, Qin Jianqia ignored him and went back to her book.
As time passed, the world seemed to freeze. The morning sunlight, the girl reading her book, and Luo Sheng comfortably lying on the couch.
For some reason, he really enjoyed this stillness. A sense of companionship, sitting peacefully without worries, made him feel like all the fatigue of the day could vanish.
When he glanced over, Qin Jianqia's black hair hung down, framing her exquisite face and falling onto the book.
The book seemed to be titled "The Crowd: How to Effectively Communicate with Perverts."
Luo Sheng: "…"
Is she throwing shade at me?
Just as he was about to say something, Qin Jianqia spoke first:
"There's milk and steak in the fridge. For breakfast, just have bread with milk, otherwise, you might have indigestion. This is my experience. Go ahead."
Clearly, she had started treating Luo Sheng as a real roommate and was kindly reminding him.
Ah, I've turned to the enemy.
My Jianqia is the cutest!
"Pen Heart~"
"Pervert..."
