Chapter 76 The Spirituality the Card Inserter Valued

Gu Ye pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, "Fine!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuerou's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, instantly settled back into place. Her tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a charming, captivating smile spread across her features. The corners of her eyes lifted slightly, adding a touch of coquettishness.

"Then it's a deal! As soon as we leave the Card Domain, I'll come to trade with you immediately." Her tone was light, carrying a hint of excitement.

Gu Ye said nothing more, simply nodding faintly. His gaze inadvertently swept over the wreckage in the corner of the courtyard, his expression remaining calm.

Luo Yuerou suddenly asked, "Hey! Gu Ye, which city are you in?"

"Yunlin City."

Luo Yuerou nodded slightly, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing her cuffs as she turned to look at the shattered wooden door.

The door panels were scattered across the ground in pieces, the wooden splinters jagged and menacing. On the open ground outside the door, dark red blood was splattered everywhere, congealing into patches of dark scabs. A faint scent of blood and a strange, chilling cold permeated the air.

In that instant, she felt as though she had overlooked a question.

[rule fragment] seems to only drop from [Rule Ghoul], and it's a guaranteed drop.

That being said, the [rule fragment] in Gu Ye's possession must have been obtained by killing several [Rule Ghoul]s.

Luo Yuerou observed the scene; the ghosts had been violently killed. She looked at the large crater still present on the wall and reached a conclusion.

Her gaze slowly shifted to Lin Daiyu beside Gu Ye, landing on the massive [evil willow] that the young woman was gently clutching in her hand.

The willow branches were thick and sturdy, a strange, ink-black color. The tips of the branches were still stained with wet, dark red blood, faintly emitting a chilling, evil aura.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuerou felt a shock in her heart.

Her face showed disbelief, but she fell silent, a trace of disappointment in her heart. After all, this was Gu Ye's privacy, and the two of them could only be considered chance acquaintances, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to ask.

"I'll fix the wooden door later," Gu Ye's calm voice sounded right on cue, pulling Luo Yuerou's drifting thoughts back to reality.

Luo Yuerou snapped out of it, quickly suppressing the complex emotions in her heart. She smiled again and nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll go back to sleep for a bit."

"Mm!"

After speaking, Luo Yuerou walked toward the inner room and lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She thought to herself, "Luo Yuerou, what's wrong with you? You've only known Gu Ye for a few hours, and you're already letting your imagination run wild."

A few hours later, the sun rose, and strands of sunlight shone onto the Eight Immortals table in the small courtyard.

"Let's go!" After washing up, Luo Yuerou walked out of the inner room and saw Gu Ye sitting by the Eight Immortals table.

Gu Ye raised his eyes and glanced at her, his gaze pausing slightly. Today, Luo Yuerou had shed yesterday's flamboyance.

She had changed into a simple, plain-colored dress, her long hair loosely tied up. Her features were delicate and pretty. Her pure aura was mixed with a hint of charm that seemed ingrained in her bones. She had shed some of her aloofness and gained a touch of gentleness, which was quite striking.

Gu Ye couldn't help but feel a slight sense of admiration: a girl who knows how to dress truly carries her own radiance; not only is she beautiful, but her every gesture exudes an attractive charm.

Gu Ye stood up, and together they walked out of the house, soon arriving at the vegetable market.

Today, the vegetable market was even livelier than yesterday, with a cacophony of voices and people shoulder to shoulder.

The crowd was a mix of all sorts of people; there were [Church Members] in black robes with cold auras, as well as [Examinee]s from the five major federations wearing uniform attire with solemn expressions. Everyone's face carried a hint of vigilance and wariness.

Everyone's appearance was very peculiar. Some looked like heavy armor tanks from a game, wearing armor; some looked like magicians, wearing magic hats; and others had slender, beautiful elves following them.

However, let me mention here: if you want to perform a card insertion, you can only do so if you obtain the permission of the [card] creature.

If you try to force it to comply, the [card]'s spirituality will drop to zero, and the [card] will collapse directly.

Therefore, every [Card Master] acting as a summoner wants to improve the spirituality of their [card]s to let the [card]s regain their intelligence.

Before the spirituality is raised, [card]s will only follow their instincts to fight or fight through the [Card Master]'s commands. If a [Card Master] tries to order a card insertion when the spirituality is low, the [card] creature's subconscious resistance will also cause the [card] to collapse.

Gu Ye heard that the [Evil God Cult], in order to expand its business, had created some corrupted [card]s, commonly known as "erotic cards." They come in various types, such as corrupted heroines, corrupted female directors, and the corrupted female lizard that the Third Brother loves most.

As long as you have money, they claim to be able to satisfy anyone's fantasies.

However, the [Evil God Cult]'s production of erotic cards is achieved by seizing other summoners' summoned creatures and using a certain power to corrupt the [card], causing the [card] creature to change completely.

"Quick, let's go look over there." Luo Yuerou's voice suddenly rang out, filled with curiosity and urgency. She grabbed Gu Ye's arm and walked quickly toward a corner of the vegetable market.

Gu Ye looked in the direction she was pulling him and saw that a crowd had already gathered on the open ground not far away. The sound of discussion rose and fell; clearly, something had happened.

The two squeezed through the crowd, and after getting closer, they could hear the commotion inside. It turned out that the only [Landlord] in this village was recruiting laborers.

"Is there anyone else coming? Hurry up, our master is waiting." An [Enslaving Ghost] with a hunched figure and a gray, sickly complexion stood on the open ground. Its eyes were blood-red, staring fixedly at the crowd in front of it, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes from time to time. Its voice was hoarse and grating, carrying a hint of impatience.

There were only two people behind the [Enslaving Ghost]. Seeing that no one else was coming forward, it sneered and prepared to lead the two away.

"Wait a moment, we'll join too." Luo Yuerou's voice sounded from behind the crowd, and she pulled Gu Ye inside.

The [Enslaving Ghost] stared at the two of them for a moment, the corners of its mouth curling into a smile.

"Fine, follow me." The [Enslaving Ghost] turned and walked ahead, and Gu Ye and Luo Yuerou followed its pace.

After walking a few steps, the [Enslaving Ghost] suddenly stopped and turned to look at the four of them, its tone becoming increasingly cold as it warned:

"I'll say this upfront: our master hates it when people slack off or play tricks. He occasionally comes to supervise the work himself. If he sees anyone slacking, you will die a miserable death."

"Also, when working, you are not allowed to whisper or talk to each other, nor are you allowed to leave your post without permission. These are all our master's taboos. Have you remembered them clearly?"

The [Enslaving Ghost] listed a whole bunch of the [Landlord]'s taboos, and the four of them carefully memorized them all.
