Chapter 124 Card Making: Wife Beast

"Night Dwelling Phoenix, what is the use of this flower?"

Gu Ye pinched the strange flower between his fingertips, examining it closely.

The entire flower emitted two completely opposite auras, as if the poles of Yin and Yang had been forcibly kneaded together.

The flower head surged with Yang energy so thick it was almost physical. It was warm and gentle, as if wrapped in layers of midday sunlight; the warmth flowed slowly from his fingertips into his limbs and bones, settling his mind.

However, the stem beneath the flower head was bone-chillingly cold. Wisps of Yin energy seeped out like a freezing mist rising from the Nine Serene Depths, numbing his fingertips.

One Yang and one Yin, one warm and one cold—they coexisted strangely yet harmoniously on the same plant.

Night Dwelling Phoenix leaned elegantly back into the sofa, her eyes fixed on the virtual light screen in front of her. Without even looking up, she replied indifferently:

"It is of no use to you, but to me, it is of great benefit."

Gu Ye subconsciously glanced at her screen.

A lively family drama was playing on the light screen, its melodramatic plot reaching a climax.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"So even ghosts watch soap operas... and it's 'The Temptation of Going Home' no less."

Night Dwelling Phoenix gave him a flat look, neither confirming nor denying it.

Gu Ye smiled and handed the flower over.

"For you."

She casually put the flower away and looked up at Gu Ye.

"In your current state, you can make another card."

Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. "Really!"

Night Dwelling Phoenix nodded. "Indeed you can. If you make one more card, your corruption value will still be within the tolerable range."

Seeing that even she said so, Gu Ye felt it was feasible. If he finished Ash's deck early, he could free up time to continue working on other decks.

Arriving in his spiritual space, Gu Ye prepared to create the 'Waifu Beast' this time—Gardevoir.

[Gardevoir was born from a tiny Ralts egg. Initially, it was just a timid and sensitive juvenile Pokemon that liked to hide in the shadows and observe humans.]

[It was born with the Psychic power to sense the emotions and hearts of others. During a chance encounter in a forest, it was attracted by the pure, burning courage and tenderness within Ash, and it quietly followed in his footsteps.]

[Watching him fight for his companions and run for his dreams, that steadfast heart deeply touched it, giving it the desire to protect someone for the first time.]

[Through crisis after crisis, Ralts relied on its weak Psychic powers to silently help Ash avoid danger, refusing to leave even if it got hurt. As its heart grew more determined, it evolved into Kirlia; its form became more graceful, and its telepathy grew stronger.]

[It could clearly feel Ash's joy, tension, and frustration, and it understood more clearly that the meaning of its existence was to stand by his side. When Ash encountered a powerful enemy and fell into a predicament, his emotions on the verge of collapse...]

[Kirlia released all its power regardless of the cost. In a dazzling light, it evolved into Gardevoir, wearing a white, elegant gown and possessing the power to protect everything.]

[It not only possessed powerful Psychic and Fairy-type skills but was also willing to risk its life for the Trainer it acknowledged. From then on, it became one of the most reliable partners by Ash's side.]

[In Gym battles, League Conferences, and regional adventures, Gardevoir always calmly and gently cooperated with Ash, using Future Sight to avoid fatal attacks, Psychic to crush powerful enemies, and Moonblast to light up the darkness.]

[Unlike other Pokemon that were boisterous and flamboyant, it always protected Ash in the most delicate way, soothing his soul when he was exhausted.]

[It gave him company when he was lost and stood up without reservation when he needed strength. Its entire life was tightly connected to Ash's journey.]

[From a timid Ralts to a Gardevoir willing to sacrifice everything for their Bond, it was no longer just a Pokemon surviving on telepathy, but one that had a person it wanted to protect and a promise it wanted to keep.]

[Through countless adventures from sunrise to sunset, Gardevoir accompanied Ash through various regions, witnessing his growth, his failures, and his rises.]

[Its life was made complete by Ash, and Ash's journey gained a sense of tenderness and peace because of Gardevoir's silent yet steadfast protection.]

[From the moment it met Ash, its life was destined to fight, protect, and shine only for this irreplaceable Bond.]

A few hundred words of content told the full story of the emotions between Gardevoir and Ash.

With the approval of the Heavenly Dao...

A card flowing with a faint purple light, its patterns as exquisite as a work of art, slowly condensed into form and landed gently in Gu Ye's hand.
