"Long time no see, Claude." Although Freymia knew that the Claude before her wasn't completely real, she was already quite happy.

Her voice was gentle with a hint of allure, making Shen Sui's mind ripple slightly.

"Um... shouldn't you let go?" Shen Sui awkwardly reminded her.

Even though he had tasted the allure of intimacy, Qishala was more reserved, unlike Freymia who wouldn't let go once she embraced.

Freymia released Shen Sui.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement and a bit of shyness.

She knew, of course, that as a lady, she shouldn't be so outgoing.

But she couldn't control her emotions, and she never tried to control them.

"You were indeed tricking Alice." Freymia, though not adept at healing, could easily tell Shen Sui was not severely injured, "Honestly, always worried about her growth."

"First, let me emphasize one thing." Shen Sui raised his hand and said, "She is not my daughter."

After a pause, Shen Sui added with a smirk, "At least, not biologically."

"Huh? Then why does she have so many of Vivian's items? Did you give them to her? That shouldn't be the case." Freymia pondered, touching her chin, "Even you can't control Vivian's items, right?"

"I'm not sure either, I just took Alice to the places where I stored the treasure boxes, and she somehow acquired Vivian's items on her own."

As Shen Sui spoke, he controlled his real self to engage in a duel.

[You have gained the first move.]

[You normally summon a follower from your hand: Gem Merchant Alice]

[You pay the cost and set three Spell Cards.]

[You end your turn.]

Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief, originally thinking it might be difficult to duel through the interface, but it turned out that although there was some delay in the tactile feedback and no intuitive graphics, the operation felt no different from playing cards online. The interface constantly displayed the state of the field and the condition of both players' hands.

The only downside was that the interface did not display your card effects, but this did not affect Shen Sui as he was already incredibly familiar with the cards in his deck. Memorizing the effects was a piece of cake, and he could even depict the scene in his mind during a live duel just through textual descriptions.

Just like a Go player narrating their moves.

"Hmph~!"

Shen Sui suddenly felt a warm breath on his face and looked up to see Freymia pouting and glaring at him.

"Even with a beauty like me here, you're still distracted," Freymia said unhappily.

Clearly, this scoundrel abandoned me for over a thousand years, and just when I finally waited for his return to engage in some couple's quirky activities, he got distracted at a crucial moment.

Freymia stared at Shen Sui, saying, "You wouldn't be chatting with other girls, would you...?"

"No, I have confidence that if it was another female, there's no way they could divert your attention from me." Freymia said confidently, standing tall and proud, her impressive figure and stunning beauty evident, putting her on par with Qishala among the women Shen Sui knew.

But Qishala was so demure that she couldn't possibly surpass herself!

"It's the duel, isn't it?" Freymia concluded decisively.

"Huh?" Shen Sui was startled.

Freymia became more certain, "Only a Life Card Duel could draw your gaze away from me!"

What the hell, you read me like a book.

Shen Sui had no words to counter.

"Alright, now is not the time for this kind of talk." Shen Sui patted his head, telling Freymia, "The Elf Race is in big trouble, and I need you to activate your domain."

Freymia wasn't aware of the Boundary-breaking Worm and Broken Boundary Empress, so Shen Sui briefly explained the situation to her.

The Elf Empress, though wanting to share intimacy with her lover, knew this was the time to fulfill her duties as the Elf Empress.

"Do you need me to break your seal?" Shen Sui looked at the chains on Freymia's wrist and asked.

Freymia smiled and said, "It's alright."

With that, she raised her hand, and the chains dissolved on their own.

"???"

Seeing Shen Sui's bewildered expression, Freymia giggled, "I didn't waste a thousand years of time! Vivian's seal is strong, but any seal can eventually be broken."

"Then why did you stay here all this time?" Shen Sui was curious.

"Hmph! That's because as long as I remain in a sealed state, those elders won't come to me for daily governmental affairs!" Freymia took a justified break.

Of course, she didn't reveal a little intention to Shen Sui.

Vivian did seal her, but also bestowed memories of a past life.

Freymia wasn't sure if it was indeed a past life, but she was very certain of her authentic feelings for Claude, and as a strong person on par with Vivian, she had her own criteria to judge whether these memories were illusions or had genuinely existed.

Freymia originally had a good impression of Shen Sui, logically, as long as there was interaction, affection levels would increase under the game mechanics.

This originally vague love for Claude transformed into a passionate and sincere feeling under the catalyst of these memories.

At the same time, she began to question Vivian's purpose in doing so.

But there was no doubt, regardless of what her past relationship with Claude was, Vivian was undoubtedly the one Claude cared most about in this lifetime.

Thus, Freymia also cared a lot about Vivian's thoughts, and after cracking the seal's code a hundred years ago, she didn't dare casually break Vivian's seal.

Shen Sui was unaware of Freymia's thoughts, and he didn't have the bandwidth at the moment to speculate on a woman's mind.

He had more complex matters to ponder.

[Your opponent pays Soul Points to normally summon a follower from their hand: Centipede·White House]

[Gem Merchant Alice's effect activates.]

[Your opponent pays an additional 3 Soul Points, and Alice gains 3 counters.]

[Would you like to activate a set card?]

Without hesitation, Shen Sui activated it.

[You choose to activate a set card, activating the Spell Card: Sitting on the Ground and Raising the Price]

[Your opponent's face turned somber, abandoning this summon attempt.]

[Do you wish to respond at this point by activating a set card?]

Shen Sui confirmed once more.

[You activate a set card, activating the Spell Card: Give Me Money]

[The effect was excellent.]

[Your opponent felt your malice.]

[He controlled the impulse to curse you silently and paid 5 Soul Points.]

[Alice gained 5 counters.]

[Your opponent is seriously considering whether to beat you up after the match ends.]
