Chapter 55: Agreement with the King
"Mr. Pharaoh, are you leaving?"
"If I interfere excessively, it will only make the Elf Continent, which has already lost its balance of light and dark, even more chaotic."
"You Ling , Yuna, being able to duel with you tonight has given me enough confidence to entrust the future of the Elf Continent to you."
The semi-transparent body enveloped in light tended towards dissipation; the spiritual form of the Pharaoh from another world, it was evident, couldn't be maintained for long.
Suddenly entrusted with the future by the King, compared to Aisha who was usually silly and lacked a sense of tension, You Ling felt the burden on his shoulders suddenly become heavier.
He originally thought that after transmigrating, he only needed to help Aisha smoothly become stronger and graduate, then revive the Carlos family through dueling, use the help of nobles to find a way to craft a new body, and finally become the Duel King of the continent.
A second life already planned out, relaxed and comfortable. Yet tonight, he inexplicably received a main quest that sounded very difficult.
——Do not let the Millennium Items ( Millennium Divine Artifacts) fall into the hands of unscrupulous people.
Doesn't that mean he has to collect the Millennium Items himself, to fight the holders of the artifacts?
Setting aside whether the holders of other artifacts are unscrupulous people, the holder of the Millennium Ring has already made it clear they're no good.
The 'Cult Master' Megan and her group spoke of is very likely the true owner of the artifact, the Millennium Ring.
"Dueling with artifact holders, somehow feels like it definitely won't be simple." You Ling muttered softly: "If you had left the Three Egyptian Gods behind, I probably would have had a much easier time."
"Hehe, it's not time yet."
Even You Ling's soft complaints in his soul form did not escape the Pharaoh's ears.
"When the Demon God) symbolizing darkness awakens, the brilliance from the Egyptian Gods will naturally descend by your side. Rest assured, this is my promise with you."
"Promise? Wait, what is the Demon God of darkness?"
...
This time, You Ling, asking directly, did not receive an answer.
The Pharaoh, having made his final promise, disappeared before Aisha and You Ling along with the last particle of light.
"He's gone, Mr. You Ling."
"Really, being a King, yet unexpectedly feeling a bit willful. Appearing out of nowhere, and then inexplicably throwing out a matter that sounds very troublesome."
"But Mr. Pharaoh should indeed be a good person."
Looking at the four cards in her hand, possessing such a degree of strength, the strongest Duelist capable of summoning God Cards, yet was unexpectedly very approachable.
"That gentleness is also very similar to yours, Mr. You Ling."
"Very similar?"
"Mm."
Finally able to leave the back mountain, with Yilin's help in the dormitory, Aisha also smoothly avoided the dorm supervisor Teacher Lili, sneaking back into the dormitory after curfew.
"Alright, since the problem has been solved, and the duel is over, it's time to confess honestly now."
Yilin, sitting right in front of Aisha, had a serious expression, as if interrogating her own child who had returned late.
"Lin-chan, I'm so tired."
Putting on a cute expression intending to muddle through by acting cute, of course, this was also the truth; after experiencing the longest night of her life, Aisha had never been this exhausted.
"Acting cute won't pass, deceiving and concealing is even worse!"
Yilin made a large X with her arms in front of her chest.
"I think not just me, but most of the students in the academy saw it. Confess honestly, Xiao Ai."
Yilin was undoubtedly referring to the duel with the god that unfolded on the back mountain.
The moment Slifer the Sky Dragon appeared, this matter was already destined to cause a sensation throughout Fusion Academy.
"Hoo shoo zzZZZ~"
"Actually fell asleep sitting up?"
After completely relaxing, a tide of fatigue washed over her, making Aisha's eyelids fight each other just moments ago.
Finally, the girl's head, with the frequency of a chick pecking rice, fell asleep directly sitting on the stool.
"Too cunning, Xiao Ai. Only you, only you know everything! I also want to..."
"Then let me explain, Lin."
"You are... You Ling!!"
Soul exchange. Actually, You Ling had already tried it before; when Aisha was asleep, her mind was at its most empty.
At such times, as long as You Ling wished, he could easily exchange souls and operate Aisha's body.
Even doing some indescribable things in bed would absolutely not be discovered.
Of course, You Ling definitely wouldn't do that.
Out of respect for his host, and the initial agreement to only swap souls during duels, You Ling had never actually exchanged bodies when Aisha was asleep.
After tonight's battle, it wasn't You Ling feeling good about himself, but there was indeed a change, a deeper bond with Aisha.
At this time, explaining what happened tonight to Yilin in place of the sleeping Aisha shouldn't be considered too out of line.
After comprehensive consideration, You Ling decided to tell about the duel with the Pharaoh, concealing the more sensitive and dangerous topic of the Millennium Items.
Even though some facts were concealed, tonight's experiences still left Yilin stunned again and again.
It had to be said, the cute Yilin was definitely the most excellent listener.
Every sentence You Ling spoke, this lively girl could give a very surprised and expectant expression, and without repetition.
This also made You Ling's narration more and more enthusiastic; midway, he even started gesturing with Aisha's hands. When Slifer the Sky Dragon appeared, just how exaggerated was its aura.
"What a pity!"
Upon hearing that Slifer the Sky Dragon withstood the effect of the Reversal Goddess, Yilin very genuinely tilted her head, making an expression of extreme unwillingness.
"You Ling and Xiao Ai, you almost defeated the strongest Pharaoh. What a pity the Sky Dragon appearing at the last moment was really too cheat-like."
"Hehe, that's pretty much the experience."
With such an excellent listener as Yilin, You Ling expressed that he was also very satisfied with his boasting.
That long-lost feeling of bragging to a friend, embellishing and describing one's experiences, even made You Ling feel a bit nostalgic.
"Is that all?"
Yilin, still wanting more, stared at You Ling and blinked her large red eyes, looking as if she still wanted more.
"That's probably all there is, we came back directly after the duel ended."
"Is that so."
Quietly reaching out, Yilin, sitting opposite, took Aisha's small hand and held it firmly, or rather, at this moment it should be You Ling's hand.
"I'm so envious."
A very familiar touch for Yilin, yet also carrying a hint of strangeness.
Yilin didn't know if it was her imagination.
Aisha's smooth little hand, whether in summer or winter, always felt cool to the touch.
But if You Ling was controlling Aisha's body, these hands seemed slightly warmer.
"Envious?"
"Envious that Xiao Ai can experience such an interesting duel with you, You Ling. Yet you sent me back first!"
"Ah, sorry, Lin. I was just being cautious at the time."
Pretending to be sulky, Yilin's cute cheeks puffed up slightly.
Then, after holding it in for less than 5 seconds, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, just kidding, tricked you. Didn't expect you to be quite serious about certain things, You Ling, like an idiot~"
Tricked you...
What I'm envious of isn't this at all.
