Bonus Chapter!

As the saying goes, a wise man never argues with a woman.Besides, it wasn't like Rosaline was actually going to spend the night in his room, and he needed a place to perform his card pulls anyway.
After giving Teresa a few instructions to keep an eye on Rosaline, Luo Qing left the safehouse, intending to find a good spot for his card pulls.
On Narukami Island, the Grand Narukami Shrine was considered the prime spot for fortune, but it was too far away, and Luo Qing wasn't about to make that journey.
After some thought, he looked at Tenshukaku in the distance and had an idea.
...
On the other side.
Ever since the exam had ended, Raiden Shogun had returned to Tenshukaku to meditate.
Suddenly, a slight breeze swept past her back. Without turning around, she already knew who it was—Luo Qing, of course.
"What do you want now?"
"It's been a while since I last saw Ei, and I thought I'd drop by for a chat."
Luo Qing placed the light novels and snacks he was carrying to the side, sitting cross-legged before the Shogun.
"A chat?"
Raiden Shogun glanced at the two large bags of gifts, frowning slightly.
How come every time Luo Qing visits, it's either to see Ei or to ask for a favor? He never thinks of bringing me any gifts for a friendly chat.
"Yes, exactly."
Luo Qing nodded with a smile, "So, can I go in this time? Don't worry, I won't take long."
"..."
Raiden Shogun was momentarily speechless.
She wasn't sure why, but she felt a reluctance to let Luo Qing enter.
"Huh? What's with that expression?"
Noticing her hesitation, Luo Qing leaned forward and teased, "Are you jealous?"
"!"
"Ridiculous!"
Raiden Shogun's voice turned cold, "Why would I be jealous of you?!"
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll make sure to bring you some treats next time."
Luo Qing chuckled, unfazed by her frosty demeanor. He spoke gently.
"If I didn't think you'd overpower me in a fight, I might have given you a comforting head pat right now."
"..."
[+1 Frustration Value from Raiden Shogun]
Raiden Shogun's brows furrowed. Luo Qing's patronizing tone irked her.
With a wave of her hand, she threw Luo Qing into the Plane of Euthymia.
This guy... he's so irritating.
She wasn't sure when she'd make up her mind to cut him down.
...
As his vision returned, Luo Qing found himself within the Plane of Euthymia.
When it came to superstitious card pulls, it was all about making an event of it.
And this plane was his stage.
Maybe he could hit the jackpot here?
As long as he didn't claim his prizes immediately, not even Ei would sense the system's presence, so he wasn't worried about being caught.
"Seriously, you've never cleaned this place, have you?"
Seeing light novels and dessert boxes scattered haphazardly around, Luo Qing sighed. He walked over to Ei, placed the light novels and snacks on the floor, and started tidying up the trash.
This disorganized space had a distinct feel of a stay-at-home girl.
Ei slowly opened her eyes, speaking in a soft voice.
"These are merely possessions. Their presence here doesn't affect me."
"That's just an excuse. You're simply lazy."
"..."

"Did you bring the latest updates?"
Ignoring his jab, Ei's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she eyed the light novels in the bag—like a purple-furred ragdoll cat.
"I brought all the latest releases."
Luo Qing smiled, feeling an overwhelming urge to pat her on the head.
"If you're that eager, why not go out and buy them yourself instead of always waiting for me? Aren't you anxious?"
"I remain here to pursue the path of Eternity. I can't just go out for trivial matters."
Ei pulled the bag towards her, skillfully sorting the novels in the order of their release.
She was determined to seek Eternity, and leaving her domain casually would go against that purpose. And she couldn't bring herself to ask the Shogun to buy them for her, so she relied on Luo Qing for the updates.
If Luo Qing hadn't come, she wouldn't have known what to do.
"Ha, so what made you come out last time?" Luo Qing asked offhandedly.
Ei feigned ignorance. "Did I?"
Seeing Luo Qing's eyes fixed on her, she couldn't hold back any longer and mumbled,
"That time doesn't count... the Shogun made me come out."
"..."
Luo Qing felt a strange sensation at that moment.
Was this really the almighty Archon who ruled over Inazuma? She was acting like a bashful shut-in!
She wasn't like this during my earlier visits!
Did I really manage to spoil this girl?!
After considering it, Luo Qing decided to test his theory. He teased gently.
"You're acting a bit different today."
"Different?"
Ei looked puzzled. "What's different about me?"
"Cute."
"..."
[+1 Frustration Value from Ei]
Why does he keep saying such weird things?!
"If you have nothing else to do, you should leave."
Ei picked up a light novel, pretending to focus on reading.
"Hey, who delivers gifts and then gets chased away? Can't I stay a little longer?"
Luo Qing sat down cross-legged across from her.
Was it his imagination, or had she just blushed?
Is this girl's defense that weak?
I hope I didn't spoil her too much...
"I'm reading."
Ei lifted the book, ignoring Luo Qing.
Luo Qing's main objective was to find a good spot for his card pulls.
Seeing that Ei was pretending not to notice him, he decided not to say anything more. He glanced at the deep valley of her chest, swallowed, and silently recited to himself:
"The Dao is vast, the fragrance eternal."
Then, with a focused thought, he opened the card pull interface.
Alright, it's up to you!
Eighty-pull draw!
Since obtaining the Resurrection Armor was practically guaranteed, Luo Qing's only concern was how many pulls it would take to get it.
Not bothering to watch the animation, he skipped each round without seeing any golden glow, preferring to check the final results all at once.
One pull... two... three... four... five...
Seven consecutive purple lights left Luo Qing feeling numb.
Really? Is it going to take the full guarantee?
Looks like Ei has terrible luck too!
Finally, on the last pull, a golden glow appeared, but Luo Qing's face showed little excitement.
He slowly opened the rare item list he'd obtained.
