"Master, did you know I was following you the whole time?"
Dark Magician Girl materialized, leaping gracefully out from the void and playfully sticking out her tongue.
"Why do you keep calling me Master? Do I look like Mahad to you?" You Feng asked, amused.
"Master, do you still remember Téa Gardner?" Dark Magician Girl giggled softly.
"Of course I do. What about her?" You Feng furrowed his brow, sensing that this wasn't quite as simple as it seemed.
"Back when you helped Téa pick cards for her deck, you specifically selected me. From that moment on, my soul was awakened. You were the one who granted me a new master, so of course you're my Master!" Dark Magician Girl explained with a bright smile.
You Feng blinked. So that was why?
He had wondered why Dark Magician Girl had taken such an instant liking to him when she first appeared. Turns out there really was a reason behind it.
"Can you turn into spirit form and leave this place with me?" You Feng asked.
"I should be able to." Dark Magician Girl clearly understood You Feng's secret by now.
With that, she dissolved into a spiritual form and followed behind him.
"Exit instance dungeon!" You Feng commanded.
With that final instruction, You Feng returned to reality. Once he was back, Dark Magician Girl materialized right alongside him.
[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Sacred Beasts! Reward: 150,000 Duel Points!]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Ten Consecutive Draws chance for an Advanced Deck, usable at any time.]
You Feng blinked in surprise. Clearing the Sacred Beasts instance dungeon had actually granted him a Ten Consecutive Draws chance for an Advanced Deck. This was a massive win.
The competitive strength of an Advanced Deck was unquestionably top-tier ladder material.
"Wow, is this where Master lives? It's so pretty... Your disciple gets to live here from now on, hehe!" Dark Magician Girl took on full physical form and scurried around the room, touching this and poking that as if she had just stumbled upon a brand-new continent.
"Mana, if you're going to stay in physical form, you can't walk around in that outfit. It's way too conspicuous." You Feng glanced at Dark Magician Girl's magical attire. It was undeniably alluring. Truth be told, anyone with a weakness for cosplay would lose their mind on the spot.
To say nothing of the fact that Dark Magician Girl was naturally stunning. Even You Feng felt a slight stir looking at her, mostly because that skirt really was a bit too short.
"Master, what are you staring at?" Mana turned around and blinked her wide, curious eyes.
"No... nothing. Ahem." A rare blush crept onto You Feng's face as he quickly cleared his throat and looked away.
"Take this outfit and put it on. In front of anyone else, just tell them you're my little sister, got it?" You Feng pulled a set of Mu Yuxi's clothes from the wardrobe and handed them to Mana.
"Okay! But Master, why do you have girls' clothes in your room?" Mana asked, brimming with curiosity.
"Stop asking so many questions and go change." You Feng shoved the clothes into her hands.
"Alright, alright! Master, no peeking, okay? Tee-hee!" Clutching the clothes, Mana giggled and slipped away into the other room.
You Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't even harbored any improper thoughts, but her teasing words had actually made his heart skip a beat.
"Get a grip, pervert!" You Feng muttered to himself, shaking his head.
"You Feng!"
Just then, Mu Yuxi returned from grocery shopping. She had planned to cook a quiet meal for the two of them, knowing how mentally draining the past several days of continuous dueling had been, hoping to enjoy some peaceful couple time together.
"Yuxi, you're back. Oh, by the way, my little sister came over. I wanted to give you a heads-up so there's no misunderstanding," You Feng said quickly upon seeing her.
"You have a sister? Why have I never heard you mention her before?" Mu Yuxi froze, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"Mas Brother, this outfit fits me just right..." Mana called out as she stepped into the room. Spotting Mu Yuxi, she hastily corrected herself.
"What an adorable girl..." Even Mu Yuxi couldn't help letting out a gasp of admiration the moment she saw Mana.
It was easy to imagine how captivating Mana was to men when even other women couldn't help swooning over her cuteness.
Dressed in simple student attire, Mana exuded a uniquely refreshing charm.
"You're You Feng's sister? What's your name?" Mu Yuxi looked at Mana, an instinctive fondness rising within her. It was simply impossible to feel a shred of dislike toward her; Mana was naturally charming and lovable.
"My name is You Ma. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Mana chirped sweetly. She had already deduced that the relationship between Mu Yuxi and You Feng was anything but ordinary.
"You Feng, we're supposed to set off for the Vocational Academy in Jingcheng tomorrow. What will your sister do?" Mu Yuxi suddenly realized this important problem.
"It's fine, she can come along with us and stay nearby." You Feng felt it was far better to keep Mana close. After all, this was the real world; without him watching over her, there was no telling what kind of trouble she might cause.
"Right, there's also this challenge letter. I almost forgot to hand it to you." Mu Yuxi retrieved an envelope from her bag.
"A challenge letter? From who?" You Feng was taken aback.
"The Number One Seed of the Vocational Academy!" Mu Yuxi spread her hands in helpless resignation.
