Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 133 Slapping the Face of the Card World Thief 9

Leng Yuexing opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say or where to begin.

He wanted to erase the sadness and sorrow in Shen Mingwen's eyes, but he didn't know how.

He had to admit that the moment he saw Shen Mingwen, his eyes, like a thin mist in the morning light, and his aura that was both ascetic and sexy, made him lose his composure instantly.

He suddenly felt a little timid. He could have kissed her to confirm whether the Shen Mingwen in front of him was his lover.

But he found he didn't want to do it.

The presence of the inscription is one reason, and another reason is that if he confirms that the first personality is not his lover, he doesn't know how to face him.

Leng Yuexing's silence made Shen Mingwen's heart sink, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, making him feel cold from the inside out.

A sharp, throbbing pain surged from his chest, causing him to instinctively clutch his heart with his right hand. He staggered and leaned against the wall behind him.

"What's wrong with you?" Leng Yuexing held Shen Mingwen's arm, looking at him with concern.

Shen Mingwen gasped for breath and said weakly, "My chest hurts so much."

"Why does your chest suddenly hurt? Could it be some kind of hidden injury?" Leng Yuexing asked anxiously.

Shen Mingwen silently shook his head. His gaze swept lightly over Leng Yuexing. He suppressed the pain in his heart and gently stroked Leng Yuexing's cheek with his right hand.

"Moonstar, I like you so much. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."

"If he can do it, why can't I?" Shen Mingwen asked again, hoping that Leng Yuexing could give him an answer.

Looking into Shen Mingwen's wounded eyes, Leng Yuexing felt a sharp pain suddenly rise in her heart.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But Shen Mingwen gently covered her mouth.

"I'll give you time; you don't need to rush to answer me..."

Shen Mingwen saw Leng Yuexing's pale face and was afraid of hearing what he didn't want to hear, so he just wanted to escape.

Leng Yuexing nodded slightly.

Seeing that Leng Yuexing hadn't completely refused, Shen Mingwen felt a sense of relief, as if his heart, which had been torn apart by a thousand cuts, finally had a chance to breathe. Although it was still very painful, he could endure it.

The only one to blame is that the other one confessed his feelings to Leng Yuexing first, while he was too late.

But even if he was a step too late, he would not give up Leng Yuexing, he thought firmly to himself.

After this conversation, Shen Mingwen treated Leng Yuexing even more gently.

He gave all his tenderness and love to Leng Yuexing, doing everything he could to cherish and care for him, placing Leng Yuexing in a position more important than himself.

To help Leng Yuexing adapt to card battles more quickly, he booked a private studio where they trained together.

Occasionally, they would go to the card battle center together to watch other card players battle.

The day before Leng Yuexing and Qiu Liang's duel, Shen Mingwen and Leng Yuexing arrived at the card battle center again.

This time, they came to watch Nanchuan's match.

Nan Chuan specifically sought out Leng Yuexing a few days ago, asking her to watch his match and cheer him on.

Because Nanchuan had only recently become a card master, his card battles didn't attract many viewers.

After entering the card battle arena, Leng Yuexing sat in the spectator chair at the front, with Shen Mingwen sitting next to him.

Because he was with Leng Yuexing every day, Shen Mingwen's heart didn't hurt as much as it did at first these past few days. He only felt a sharp, needle-like pain, which he took as a test to win Leng Yuexing's heart.

After Nanchuan came on stage, he immediately spotted Leng Yuexing sitting at the very front. He jumped up and waved to Leng Yuexing, his big smile showing how happy he was.

Leng Yuexing waved at him, then clenched her fist and gave him a thumbs-up.

Nan Chuan nodded heavily to Leng Yuexing and returned the same gesture.

Then the card battle began. The opposing card player had a reptile-type card pool, while Nanchuan had a bird-type card pool.

In the first match, the opposing card master summoned a poisonous snake, while Nanchuan summoned a golden eagle.

The venomous snake has the ability to control water, and it controlled its venom to spray towards the golden eagle.

The golden eagle, however, could ride the wind and was extremely fast. Nan Chuan controlled it to dodge the venom, and the venomous snake had no way to spray its venom onto the golden eagle.

Finally, the golden eagle caught the venomous snake, lifted it into the air, and slammed it down, ending the battle.

In the second match, the opposing card player summoned a turtle with a huge and thick shell, and also had the ability to control water.

Unable to break through the tortoise's thick shell and further impacted by the water flow, Nanchuan recalled the golden eagle and summoned a vulture instead.

Upon seeing the turtle, the giant vulture tore its shell apart with its claws, and the opposing card player then summoned the turtle back.

Then the opposing card player summoned another crocodile.

Although crocodiles also possess the ability to control water, they were ultimately no match for the powerful vulture.

Nanchuan won the card battle in the end, and when the referee announced his victory, he danced with joy.

Nan Chuan could feel that his reputation had increased slightly due to this victory, and the power of the cards he summoned was also slowly growing.

He stroked his cards with great affection, and while touching the cards, he couldn't wait to go out and find Leng Yuexing.

Unexpectedly, on his way to find Lengyuexingdi, Nanchuan encountered Qiuliang.

If Shen Mingwen is the most watched combat card master, then Qiu Liang is second.

He summoned dark cards; his strength was immense, and the dark cards he summoned were equally powerful. He won almost every card battle.

Nanchuan had also heard a rumor that all the card players who had fought against Qiu Liang gradually declined, and some couldn't even summon cards anymore.

Everyone thought Qiu Liang was eerie and wanted to stay away from him, except for a few people who really liked him.

Nan Chuan also wanted to get away from Qiu Liang, so when Qiu Liang approached him, he nodded to him and then tried to leave.

However, Qiu Liang blocked Nan Chuan's path. Taking advantage of Nan Chuan's inattention, he snatched the card from his hand.

He looked at the cards with feigned appreciation and said, "Your cards are amazing. Bird cards are very rare. I think you will become the next most watched card master."

Nanchuan was furious that Qiuliang had taken his cards.

Hearing Qiu Liang's flattering words, he scratched his head sheepishly and said, "You flatter me. I'm not that good. Although bird cards are rare, many card players still have them. I still have a lot to learn."

After saying that, Nanchuan reached out his hand to Qiuliang, "Um, I need to go find my friend now, could you please return the card to me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Liang touched the card one last time, then returned it to Nan Chuan and left without looking back.

Nanchuan looked at Qiuliang with a puzzled expression, feeling that something was off about her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He glanced at the cards Nan Chuan had exchanged for, and whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the cards, which had been quite powerful just moments before, now seemed somewhat weaker.

He looked at the card with a puzzled expression, stroking it as he went to find Leng Yuexing.

Leng Yuexing waited for Nanchuan in the card battle center's lobby. They had agreed that if Nanchuan won the card battle, she would treat him to a big meal.

He watched as Nanchuan walked out, touching the card, his face full of confusion and bewilderment. He went over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Nan Chuan looked up and saw Leng Yuexing, and said with some concern, "I don't know what's going on, but I feel like my cards have suddenly become weaker."

"You won, shouldn't the power of the cards have increased? Why did they become weaker?" Leng Yuexing asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened either. Qiu Liang took a look at it just now and gave it back to me. After that, I felt like my cards became a bit weaker," Nan Chuan said with some distress.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing's eyes turned cold. He reached out and took the card from Qiu Liang's hand, then handed it to Shen Mingwen beside him.

"Take a look, isn't this card a little strange?"

Shen Mingwen held it in his hand and felt it carefully. "It seems to have the power of dark cards on it," he said uncertainly.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing's eyes turned completely cold. "As expected, it was Qiu Liang who manipulated the dark cards to steal the power of the cards in Nan Chuan's hands."

Upon hearing Leng Yuexing's words, Nan Chuan looked at him in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"
