Strange Cards

Chapter 97 A Promise That Will Always Be Valid

A bright silver ring suddenly appeared in Shi Yu's hand, and she put it on Bai Yu's right middle finger.

"This ring represents a promise, a promise that is valid at all times."

"You can make a request to this ring, whatever it may be, this ring can fulfill it."

"Really?"

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and then she hugged Shi Yu's waist.

"Then I want to stay with Shigure forever and ever!"

After Shiyu picked up Baiyu, he said.

"This isn't a requirement."

"what?"

Bai Yu let out a soft "Ah," and her deep blue eyes quickly dimmed, along with her cat ears drooping.

"We'll always be together, so a ring won't do this."

"Yay!"

Bai Yu hugged Shi Yu's neck tightly, their faces pressed together.

Their hearts seemed to resonate at that moment, beating in perfect unison.

Liu An suddenly spoke up.

"Rain Boy, although we are all looking forward to your wedding with Xiaobaiyu, you two are not old enough."

"You and Bai Yu are both only 18 years old according to your ID cards. According to the law, you have to wait two more years to get your marriage certificate."

"Of course we'd be happy for you to have the wedding first; we can definitely gather enough people."

"I'll be the emcee, and the eldest son and his wife will be in charge of cooking."

"The remaining two Haier Brothers went to do the hard labor, while Guan Yun was responsible for the rest of the miscellaneous tasks."

"Let's have Nannan and Yuyan as the flower girls."

Liu An said with a smile.

At this point, Yu Yan became unhappy and started to complain.

"No, I have no problem with Nan Nan being a flower girl, but why should I have to be one too?"

"Just because you look like a child."

Liu An smiled, completely ignoring Yu Yan's face, which was as angry as a pufferfish, and took the cake, placing it between Shi Yu and Bai Yu.

"Let's cut the cake, you two."

Shi Yu and Bai Yu exchanged a smile, took two cake knives, and cut the first piece of birthday cake in their lives.

However, after the cake was completely cut, everyone started making a ruckus again. Qi Wu pulled out two cream tins from somewhere and gave his daughter a Lazy Sheep-style hairstyle.

Outraged, Gu Yue snatched the cream can and sprayed Qi Wu with it, turning him into Santa Claus. Then, Yu Yan pulled out a cream can from somewhere and dyed Liu An's hair white.

Then everyone started making a ruckus, and even Dr. Guan Yun was forced by the three Haier Brothers to have his makeup done.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, no one was angry; instead, everyone was laughing out loud. It was because Shigure, after living for so many years, finally understood what home and family meant on his eighteenth birthday.

...........

After everyone finished making a fuss, they cleaned up the house together with Yanyun's cleaning robot, and then went back to their own rooms.

Shiyu returned to her room, gave Baiyu a bath first, and then quickly took a bath herself.

Shigure's wet hair covered her forehead. After drying her hair, Shigure looked at herself in the mirror and realized that her hair had grown so long.

"I haven't had a haircut in about two or three months."

Shi Yu looked at the hair that was about to fall onto her shoulder and gently shook her head.

"Come here, let me blow-dry your hair."

Just then, Bai Yu, who was lying on the deck chair on the balcony counting stars, heard Shi Yu's voice and ran in, then sat down on a small stool in front of Shi Yu.

After Shi Yu took the hair dryer, she slowly and methodically dried Bai Yu's hair, while the Remnant Fire Evolution Device lay quietly on the table not far away.

Shi Yu carefully dried her hair, and the faint scent of gardenias emanating from Bai Yu's hair made her feel refreshed.

Shi Yu turned to look at the Remnant Flame Evolver, then brought up the holographic screen and tapped a few times to start charging it.

After all, he didn't want to end up dying at the hands of this thing, just like Chun had said.

When he was alone, Shigure was not afraid of death at all, but now he has bonds, family, and someone he loves.

Shigure absolutely cannot die now; he has a reason to live in addition to seeking revenge on his former family.

Shi Yu turned on the air conditioner, took off her shirt, and crawled into bed.

As Bai Yu looked at Shi Yu, she was about to take off her top when she realized that her pajamas were actually a dress, and she couldn't take off the top at all.

Before Shi Yu could even lie down, she saw Bai Yu making a fuss as she tried to take off her nightgown. Shi Yu quickly helped Bai Yu straighten her nightgown again.

"You idiot, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you take your shirt off to sleep? I want one too."

Shi Yu quickly stopped Bai Yu from taking off her clothes again.

"Are you stupid? If you take your clothes off, you won't have anything to wear. At least I still have a pair of pants."

The main thing is that Shigure imagined a naked cat-eared beauty lying next to him, and he was sure that a bloodbath would happen tonight, and it might even result in someone dying.

For your own sake, and for Bai Yu's sake, sometimes saying no is a good thing.

"Hurry up and get dressed."

Bai Yu reluctantly got dressed, then quickly climbed into bed and snuggled close to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu stretched out an arm for Bai Yu to rest her head on before falling asleep. After Shi Yu fell asleep, Bai Yu quietly kissed her and then also fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles from the coastline, Chun stood on a transparent pirate ship, the scythe in her hand slowly dripping black, eerie blood onto the ground.

Chun looked at the shipwrecked water monster captain with a captain's hat on his head and killed him without hesitation with a scythe.

Chun absorbed all of the Ghost Captain's ghostly power, and then the entire transparent pirate ship disappeared as if it had never existed.

Chun naturally fell in as well, but instead of falling into the water, she stood directly on the turbulent sea.

"Seriously, I'm an outsider, and I still have to clean up this mess for you hunters."

"But considering it's a certain little black-haired girl's birthday today, I'll let it go. The great Tsubaki-sama won't be angry, hehe."

Chun glanced at the surrounding sea and the waves crashing one after another, then took out her strange card.

The strange card of Tsubaki features a woman smoking a cigarette, and its suit is red diamonds. Its rank is the same as Shigure's, an Ace.

Chun held the Ace of Diamonds and whispered "fight," after which the Ace of Diamonds transformed into a stream of light and entered Chun's right hand.

"Hehe, the increase in my supernatural power tonight is quite substantial."

"It's amazing that there's not much loss of Crypt Fiend power even after equipping Block A."

After saying that, Chun turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared completely from the sea surface.
