Chapter 6: Divorce Card
[Lovers Relationship Established]
Su Huan: “???”
Liuliu Yue: “???”
In that moment, seeing the system message wrapped in a pink heart frame, filled with a sense of ceremony, both of them froze in place.
Setting aside what Liuliu Yue was thinking, Su Huan was completely puzzled. He had been about to go offline and head home when suddenly a relationship request popped up, directly covering the previous [Exit] button. Moreover, the one applying for a relationship was none other than his archenemy who he would meet his end with ten years later – Double Moon Saintess Liuliu Yue.
After remaining still for a few seconds, Su Huan couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”
Liuliu Yue: “Uh…”
Su Huan: “?”
Liuliu Yue: “I pressed the wrong button.”
Su Huan: “?”
Liuliu Yue: “?”
Su Huan: “?”
Liuliu Yue: “Then why did you agree?”
Su Huan: “Pressed the wrong button…”
Liuliu Yue: “?”
Liuliu Yue: “My bad.”
Su Huan: “What about?”
After exchanging a couple of sarcastic emojis, they both instinctively stopped chatting. This way, they both settled the score and prevented any further hostility. Not only had the chat interface turned pink, but even their text boxes were filled with pink heart bubbles.
Su Huan was completely stunned, almost wanting to dig a hole to hide in. Forced to use this couple-exclusive interface decoration, even their sarcasm seemed like playful banter. He had to quickly go offline, pretending to be nonchalant.
Meanwhile, far away in the White Moon State’s Double Moon Sect, a girl with golden hair lay scattered across her bed, weak and limp. One hand half-covering her face, her golden eyes slightly unfocused.
“Why, why is the ‘apply for dating’ button placed in that position…”
“And it had to be Su Huan.”
“I just want to die!!”
Liuliu Yue had logged into Virtual Battle mode from her personal bedroom. She wore a white electronic wristband, a battle device developed by the Double Moon Sect in recent years. By activating the chip inside, she could easily log in. She didn’t need to enter the public battle pod, and the delay was lower. The intervals for giving commands to the Battle Pet were almost the same as in real life.
At this moment, Liuliu Yue was tossing and turning on her bed like a caterpillar, messing up her silky long hair into a tangled mess.
“Wait, I remember something!!”
Suddenly, the golden-haired girl, consumed by embarrassment, had a bright idea. Her eyes lit up as she quickly sat up.
If she remembered correctly, there were special items in the store that could end a romantic relationship! She had seen them a few times when buying special effects with real money in her past life.
Thinking about this, Liuliu Yue immediately started searching eagerly. As expected, a few seconds later, a card with a torn heart symbol appeared before her eyes.
[Item: Divorce Card]
[Effect: After using, one-sidedly ends the current romantic relationship, resetting intimacy level to zero]
Liuliu Yue was delighted and clicked “purchase” without hesitation. By using the Divorce Card, tonight’s amazing move would be like nothing happened!
But the next moment, after the screen changed, a line of text appeared and the girl’s breath immediately stopped.
[Under 18, recharge function is not enabled]
She had just returned to ten years ago. The current her had just celebrated her 17th birthday. In other words, if she wanted to break up with Su Huan, she had to wait for a year.
The quiet girl with red hair stayed silent for a while, then buried her head into the pillow. Under 18 years old, she didn’t even qualify for a divorce…
At the same time, Su Huan returned to his dorm with Thunder Element. Though embarrassed by tonight’s unexpected events, at least the confession was from the other side, so he wouldn’t be isolated.
Su Huan quickly focused on the Point System. His points had increased to 35 after the Hundred Pets Battle Royale. If he tried again tomorrow, he could easily surpass 50 points and unlock Thunder Element’s first Golden Skill.
Having a battle pet in the early stage with a Golden Skill was very rare, like finding a needle in a haystack, but there was still hope. Just because Feng Qinqin hadn’t seen it didn’t mean Su Huan hadn’t either. Besides, there was one right in front of him – Liuliu Yue’s companion Battle Pet Flash Butterfly, the future Mythical Beast containment device, which not only had the initial Golden Skill but even a more outrageous Diamond Skill.
White, blue, and purple quality stages were collectively called flawed skills. These three lower quality stages were either too heavily divided in their mechanics, had low base values, long cooldown times, or significant defects.
Following these were five stages: gold, diamond, emerald, ruby, and radiant. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that each stage represented a transformative leap. It was just a pity that Su Huan was just about to experience Flash Butterfly’s strength when Liuliu Yue forcefully cut off his connection.
“*Ding dong!*”
While Su Huan was quietly sighing, another friend request popped up on his phone. This time, he was prepared and carefully clicked on the interface, afraid of accidentally pressing any buttons again.
However, this seemed to be just a normal friend request. The person’s note was [Feng Qinqin]. The account avatar showed a green-haired girl in Tianfeng Academy uniform.
“Feng Qinqin?”
“Who is this character again…?”
Su Huan felt confused. In his previous life, the Tianfeng Battle Pet Academy, along with half of the Jade Wind State, had disappeared suddenly. Eight or nine years had passed after that, and he couldn’t remember his former classmates anymore.
As his friend request was accepted, the other person immediately sent a message.
Feng Qinqin: “Su Huan, thank you for going easy on me during the day. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. You really surprised me~~”
Su Huan: “…”
Could this be one of the students he defeated tonight? Without hesitation, he was sure that Liuliu Yue had pushed the limits during the day. Even without seeing it firsthand, he could guess how embarrassing it was. He was so speechless that he could only manage a reluctant “Hmm.”
Half a minute later, Feng Qinqin sent several messages in succession:
“Su Huan, you haven’t joined a team yet, right?”
“I joined a team created by a 3rd-grade student. Tonight at midnight, we have a friendly match against the top team from the neighboring Divine Leaf Beast Academy. Unfortunately, our vice captain’s main battle pet failed to evolve recently, so it won’t be able to compete for a while.”
“But we finally secured a spot for this friendly match, and the captain doesn’t want to give it up easily.”
“Most 2nd and 3rd year students have teams, so it’s against the rules to temporarily recruit from other teams. However, it’s fine to invite new students who haven’t joined a team yet.”
“So, I wanted to ask if you’re interested in challenging a mature-stage battle pet…”
“Our captain has watched your battle recordings tonight and is very impressed with you.”
After reading Feng Qinqin’s messages, Su Huan fell silent. A 3rd grade team having a friendly match with teams from other schools? According to the academy’s statistics this year, out of 402 students in the 3rd grade, only 36 had mature-stage battle pets, which were rare to see in Virtual Battles on campus.
Because 2nd-year and 3rd-year students had access to the Battle Channel in Jade Wind State, most chose to go there for battles and training. However, freshmen could only use the campus network. In other words, this was a rare opportunity for freshmen to encounter mature-stage battle pets.
“Okay, tonight at exactly 24:00?”
After thinking for half a minute, Su Huan sent his reply. For him, it didn’t matter about winning or losing, or showing strength, as long as he could keep finding strong opponents for Thunder Element and defeating them. Just joining casually, even if he lost, wouldn’t be a big deal.
“Yes, the address is Room 307 at the team base, please arrive 10 minutes early~~~”
Feng Qinqin seemed very excited, gesturing enthusiastically. After confirming the location and time, Su Huan lay on his bed and fell into a deep sleep. Since coming back after being reborn, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, and with so much happening, he couldn’t bear it mentally.
Meanwhile, in the White Moon State’s Double Moon Sect, inside the public bath of the Saintess Candidate, the air was filled with mist, highlighting the slender and graceful figures of the women. With shiny golden hair and creamy white skin, a girl with starry eyes slowly entered the hot water after a quick wash.
Feeling her whole body relax, Liuliu Yue closed her eyes in enjoyment. It seemed like even the embarrassing event from last night had been temporarily forgotten.
However, before she could enjoy it for long, an untimely female voice sounded:
“Liuliu Yue, I heard you got first place again in yesterday’s test?”
“I’m so envious, not only of your rare Battle Pet but also of your clever mind~~~”
A beautiful woman with long silver curly hair leaned towards the edge of the pool. Hearing this, Liuliu Yue’s expression became slightly strange. When yesterday’s exam was mentioned, she couldn’t help but think of the words, “Child, you are invincible.” Rather than achieving an unimportant first place, she would have preferred Su Huan to give up the exam directly.
Thinking of this, Liuliu Yue turned to look at the somewhat unfamiliar silver-haired woman. She stared straight at the other person’s body curves for a full ten seconds before finally realizing who she was – someone she had eliminated early in her past life… a Saintess Candidate.
It was no wonder Liuliu Yue had a poor memory. After defeating this woman, she had gone on to defeat various other Saintess Candidates like the “Number One Saintess Candidate,” “Super Substitute Dark Horse,” “Strongest Substitute Seed,” and the “Double Moon Bloodline Holder,” ultimately obtaining the title of Double Moon.
Also, these events were just some of what would happen this year. Compared to the big changes that would occur in the next nine years, these small events weren’t worth mentioning.
“But, only the rarity of the Battle Pet cannot determine everything, just like our Double Moon Sect’s first founder was initially just an unknown village girl.”
“Although your companion Battle Pet, Flash Butterfly, is super rare and its initial skills must be at the golden level, but… I observed a few of your actual combat tests, are those not attacking skills?”
The silver-haired woman kept talking and finding ways to criticize Liuliu Yue in a sarcastic manner, suggesting that in actual combat, Flash Butterfly might not be very effective. But Liuliu Yue had started feeling sleepy halfway through.
Finally, after the other party’s long lecture ended, she casually responded, “Want to go out?”
“Wh-what?”
Hearing this, the silver-haired woman was slightly stunned, looking somewhat incredulous.
Liuliu Yue smiled warmly and added, “Tonight, do you want to have a battle? You should know, right? The executor of Double Moon cannot afford to fail. If you fail once in your career as a beast tamer, you will no longer be under the gaze of the moonlight.”
In the courtyard of Double Moon Sect, private battles weren’t prohibited, but they only occurred every few years. After all, all previous Double Moon Saintesses had always remained undefeated until the end. If you lost a match, the will of the moonlight would shift or disappear, effectively disqualifying you from ever becoming a saintess.
Therefore, the loser of the match would be immediately expelled from Double Moon Sect! However, although the conditions appeared strict on the surface, in reality, they weren’t as extreme; being ambushed, ganged up on, or chased by enemies several realms higher actually had a high chance of not being counted. All explanations depended on Double Moon’s own will. Of course, if it was a fair match, whether offline or in Virtual Battle, it all counted.
“So, want to go out together?”
Facing the still-motionless silver-haired woman, Liuliu Yue asked once again casually. After about two minutes of silence, the silver-haired woman swallowed nervously, then reluctantly nodded. Although she had no confidence facing Liuliu Yue with Flash Butterfly, since they had come this far, she could only brace herself and continue. At least she could confirm that Flash Butterfly’s initial Golden Skill wasn’t an attack type!
“Can we do it later? I need to go back to catch some sleep.”
After getting a hesitant nod from the other person, Liuliu Yue stood up expressionless and left the bathhouse. In her past life, it had taken her a whole year to defeat this messy group of Saintess Candidates with various titles. However, now that Liuliu Yue knew their strength inside out, she had no interest in wasting time on these people. She would just eliminate them one by one.
After all, that man… Su Huan, who was reborn with her, possessed an incredible Point System. If she allowed him to continue growing while she followed the steady growth pace of her past life, the consequences would be unimaginable!
