Luo Sheng took the three cards.
One was a Bronze Eight-Star [Ice Snow Queen] card, which was Wang Ke'ai's highest-tier combat card at the moment. However, given that Xia Xingri could casually use large quantities of Bronze Ten-Star cards, it was clear this one wasn't enough to match up.
But the card's quality was still outstanding. It was an Extraordinary-level card, indicating its potential for growth and high strength.
The other two were material cards, Frost Blossom Buds, Bronze Five-Star, which could greatly aid ice-type cards.
When Luo Sheng took out his Little Snow Demon, a prompt to enhance it appeared, and not just for the Little Snow Demon, the Frozen Tundra also had an enhancement option. This confirmed the precious value of these two material cards.
Wang Ke'ai then reminded him, "By the way, after you enhance my cards, don't use them freely. I won't acknowledge it if you do."
During the recent battle, Luo Sheng had left a bad impression on her by using Qin Jianqia's Frost Dragon, which was a bit of a breach of the rules.
It felt like someone playing with her beloved toy unexpectedly—it was an uncomfortable feeling.
"I am a gentleman. It was just an unexpected event earlier," Luo Sheng quickly defended.
He wanted to say more to redeem his image, but Xu Yourong interjected, "Indeed, your abilities are a bit too unconventional and unique. Even I can't understand it. Could you explain?"
"I can only say that enhancing cards with your own abilities increases the compatibility," Luo Sheng answered, still holding back some information.
After all, his golden finger (special ability) was something he preferred to keep secret.
Moreover, textbooks had already speculated that a card enhancer could improve compatibility with cards, so revealing this wouldn't hurt; it might just confirm the theory.
"Is that so? Well, it's fine. You don't have to explain if you don't want to. Everyone has their own secrets. It's normal," Xu Yourong said without much reaction, maintaining her usual calm demeanor.
Luo Sheng thought for a moment and added, "About me..."
Before he could finish, Xu Yourong already guessed what he was going to say, saying, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Your ability to gain high compatibility through enhancing or repairing cards will remain your secret. Of course, if they don't say anything, no one else will know."
As Xu Yourong spoke, she glanced at Wang Ke'ai.
"I won't tell anyone. Who cares about his secret!" Wang Ke'ai replied, acting like an arrogant little girl, feeling as if she was being looked down upon.
As expected from the little rich girl—still the same attitude.
Luo Sheng glanced at Wang Ke'ai with a face full of disbelief, clearly looking down on her a little.
"Hey! What's with that look? Don't you know I, Wang Ke'ai, have the tightest lips?!" Wang Ke'ai shot back.
Even Qin Jianqia rolled her eyes at Luo Sheng.
"See, it's not that I don't believe you. Even Jianqia doesn't believe you. How can I believe you, Lady Wang?"
Luo Sheng pointed at Qin Jianqia, who was still rolling her eyes, explaining to Wang Ke'ai.
Qin Jianqia also rolled her eyes at Luo Sheng. "Boring."
Xu Yourong nodded and added, "You should probably explain things well to Qin Jianqia later. After all, you two still have a clear line between you."
When Xu Yourong sat down earlier, she had noticed this boundary, likely made using a card, and guessed that the two had made some kind of agreement, which wasn't in a good place.
After finishing her sentence, Xu Yourong left the apartment without another word, walking straight to the family car that had just arrived, showing no emotion as she walked away.
Truly a super rational and tough character, Luo Sheng thought silently.
Just then, Wang Ke'ai suddenly revealed her milky white little tiger teeth and tried to bite Luo Sheng's hand.
"Bit me again? Do you really have the word 'Wang' carved on your forehead? And always in the same spot?"
Luo Sheng was quick and managed to dodge.
"Bastard~! If I deal with you again, I'll be a pig!" Wang Ke'ai fumed, then shot a glance at Qin Jianqia. "Forget it. Someone will deal with you. Hmph! Just remember my cards and don't use them without permission!"
She seemed to say this phrase a lot.
As expected, women have the memory of fish, only seven seconds, and the rest is all emotions.
Yet, Wang Ke'ai still left in a huff, slamming the door behind her.
What a character—a rich girl with a unique personality.
Luo Sheng managed a forced smile, slowly turning to Qin Jianqia, feeling like he was facing an angry wife after doing something wrong.
"Um, I should apologize. It was just an accident. The situation was urgent, so... if you're mad, don't hit me too hard. My eight-pack abs aren't quite ready yet."
Luo Sheng adopted a sincere attitude, trying to apologize.
Five seconds passed.
He thought Qin Jianqia might suddenly explode, even physically punishing him, considering he had casually used her trump card, which would definitely be frustrating.
However, Qin Jianqia did nothing. She simply said, "Can I have my Frost Dragon back?"
"Here, I've already repaired it."
Luo Sheng handed over the Frost Dragon, acting humble and small, though it was all for show.
Special circumstances called for special treatment.
He was afraid she might snap.
To his surprise, she placed a card on the coffee table, seemingly as a reward for Luo Sheng.
After receiving the card, Qin Jianqia turned and walked to her room but paused midway, saying, "There are some wound ointments in the bathroom cabinet. Apply them to your wounds so they don't get infected."
After finishing, she returned to her room and closed the door. Soon, the familiar sound of the door locking echoed.
"Uh..."
Luo Sheng was at a loss.
Had Qin Jianqia forgiven him, or was she still angry?
Women really were hard to understand. It would have been easier to deal with his paper wife—simple and cute.
Luo Sheng picked up the card on the table.

Luo Sheng's eyes lit up.
This was an excellent card, both in terms of quality and potential growth. It even had enhanced defensive capabilities.
Previously, he had been troubled by the difficulty in upgrading his mech. Otherwise, his battle with Xia Xingri today would not have been such a narrow victory.
It seemed that the rich girl really won hearts.
Such a defensive mech card was hard to come by without 500,000—truly, the ice queen still had a warm heart.
Thanks to Taixian for the reward!
