That night, Ke Jin did not go home in the end.
He and Orloy landed the flying carpet on the leeward slope, found a vacant space, set up a small tent, and started a bonfire with cards, then huddled together to keep warm.
It seemed like they talked a lot to each other, but when Ke Jin recalled it later, he couldn't remember what they talked about at all. He only remembered that whenever their eyes met, they couldn't help but smile silly. The flames of the bonfire jumped happily, as if they also jumped into their hearts, and then turned into a rising little sun, making them feel no coldness in the middle of the night, and only remember the warmth and happiness that will always remain in their hearts.
Ke Jin didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a tent, covered with a thick blanket. Oloy was sitting beside him, looking at him with one hand on his chin. Seeing that he woke up, he unzipped the tent, and a ray of clear daylight came in.
"look."
Oloy lifted the curtain of the tent, and more fresh and vivid morning light poured in. On the distant horizon, the golden sun was rising slowly, as if slowly unfolding a magnificent painting. The sleeping earth slowly woke up and opened its eyes in the beautiful golden light.
"A new day has begun." Ke Jin sighed.
"Um."
Oloy came over and kissed Ke Jin on the forehead, then the dense kiss spread all the way down, finally kissing his lips.
"...Our new day has also begun." He said with a smile.
***
After Ke Jin returned to the card pool, he officially began to operate the new card pool.
Under the influence of the news of Orloy's first draw, the public's attention to Ke Jin's card pool has become unprecedentedly hot. Every day, there are a large number of posts on the Star Network asking when the card pool will be officially operated. Eggers has helped Ke Jin find the best card makers and card extenders in the imperial capital. As long as Ke Jin contacts and communicates with them again, the card pool can be officially opened.
While Ke Jin was making intensive preparations for the business, Oloy went to the Second Prince's palace as soon as he returned to the palace.
But he didn't find the person, because the other party had left the imperial capital with his fiancée the night before and went to the honey travel planet. Oloy immediately used the communicator to contact the other party, but received no response. He didn't know whether the other party deliberately didn't answer the call, or the signal was too poor during the interstellar voyage so it couldn't be connected.
Oloy was very angry about this. Although he and Ke Jin were able to break the window paper and officially be together because of the opportunity of the love card, it did not mean that he could forgive his second brother's behavior. In addition to anger, Oloy also had deep doubts.
In his opinion, his second brother was not the kind of person who could do such a thing. Why did he do this? Was it really just "out of good intentions"?
But since he couldn't contact the real person, all his anger and doubts had to be suppressed for the time being. Oloy secretly swore that when the other party came back, he would ask clearly and would never let the matter be turned over in a muddle.
***
After Ke Jin's card pool was officially opened, it became very busy as expected.
Fortunately, the preliminary preparations were sufficient, and there was no interruption in the supply of cards on the day of the pool opening. All kinds of snacks with unique flavors were very popular, and all the customers were very satisfied. The next day, card pool evaluators from all media platforms commented, all of which were full of praise. Although it did not enter the "Hundred Emperors List" in the Royal Capital Card Pool Rankings of the week, it also instantly jumped into the top ten of the "New Card Pool Potential List" with an absolute advantage. It can be said that there is a bright future and the situation is very good.
Because they were too busy, Ke Jin and Ouluoyi never went out on a private date after they confirmed their relationship. But every day Ouluoyi would secretly come to Ke Jin's card pool courtyard to stay for a while. Even if it was just to see his sweetheart for a few seconds, he was happy to do it.
However, Oloy has a special identity and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he cannot be exposed to the sight of outsiders. Every time he can only wait in the room of the villa, and only when Ke Jin takes the time to leave the card pool can he sneak in and say a few words to him.
"I'm so sorry, I've been a little busy recently..." Ke Jin felt bad for leaving her boyfriend alone, "When everything is back on track, I will definitely spend more time with you."
"It's okay. You're mine anyway." Oloy pecked Ke Jin's lips lightly and smiled meaningfully. "We will have plenty of opportunities to be alone together in the future."
Ke Jin's face immediately turned red, and Ou Luoyi was moved. He held him and kissed him for a while before reluctantly letting him go and continuing to talk about business.
"I'm going to be out in a few days," Orloy said. "I've already told Eggers that if you have any problems, just go to him directly."
"Where are you going?" Ke Jin asked curiously.
"It's a small planet in the Federation Galaxy." Orloy said, "The lord of that planet has some connections with our family. They discovered a very special new card pool and hope that I can help open it."
The other party offered a very generous price, but that was secondary. The main reason was to repay the favor. It was reasonable for Oloy to go.
"Federal Galaxy..." When mentioning this, Ke Jin suddenly remembered something and his expression suddenly became serious.
"I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot to tell you that Major General Leng Yan contacted me a few days ago."
It was Major General Leng Yan who conveyed the message on behalf of Marshal Gani and suggested that Ke Jin come to the Imperial Galaxy. Oloy had a deep impression of him. Thinking about the content of the conversation between him and Ke Jin before, the smile on his lips slowly faded and his expression became solemn.
"Any news from the 'Devil'?"
Ke Jin nodded, but then slowly shook his head.
"I don't know if this counts as news from the 'Devil King'... Major General Leng Yan said that their army has penetrated deep into the 13th star system and has not encountered any magnetic field changes. The limited pollution has also been brought under control. Everything is going smoothly and normally."
"so?"
"Because everything went so smoothly and so normally, Major General Leng Yan and his men found it very abnormal... After all, based on their understanding of the Demon King, even if the Demon King has not fully awakened, there should be some resistance as the army advances deeper. However, they are almost reaching the core area and have not found any such signs."
Oloy nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed suspicious... but there are many possibilities for it not being abnormal, and it is not necessarily a bad situation."
Ke Jin sighed: "I hope so... Although the 'Devil' is hostile to me, you'd better be careful when you go to the Federation Galaxy."
"Don't worry." Oloy rubbed Ke Jin's hair and warned, "But you, don't leave the imperial capital."
Ke Jin nodded vigorously: "Yes, I know."
***
Three days later, Oroi left the Imperial system.
The planet he was heading to was called Gadi, which belonged to the Scorpio Galaxy of the Federation Galaxy. After he arrived at the Lord's Mansion on Gadi, he received a grand reception.
Oloy never liked to bring too many people with him when he traveled, and this time he only had a small escort team with him. The lord of Gadi Star originally wanted to hold a grand welcome banquet, but Oloy declined. He never liked those occasions of drinking and feasting, and just wanted to complete the mission quickly and return to the Imperial Galaxy as soon as possible - he had begun to miss Ke Jin.
The lord naturally would not go against Orloy's wishes, and quickly took them to the new card pool to wait for the first draw.
The card pond was not far from the lord's mansion, on a small island in the middle of a lake in the mountains behind the mansion. Perhaps because it had just been developed, there were no man-made buildings around the card pond, only a solitary spring. From a distance, a small blue pool lay in the center of the grassy island, like a blue gem inlaid on the lawn.
Oloy walked around the new card pool and didn't see anything special, but he didn't say much. He just stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards the card pool.
The originally calm water in the pool began to sway gently. Oloy thought this was a peculiarity of the card pool and did not think much about it. He skillfully put his fingertips into the water, ready to draw the first card.
A bright purple light quickly rose from the bottom of the pool and quickly gathered towards Oloy's palm. Oloy's hand that had reached into the water suddenly sank, as if it was pulled by a huge force, forcing him to hold the card with his whole hand before he could barely pull it out of the pool.
It was a double-sided pure black card.
The moment he saw it, Oloy's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instantly thought of another card.
——The pure black card that once appeared in Ke Jin’s card pool and was completely removed by himself using the supernatural card.
And the owner of that pure black card is...
Alarm bells instantly rang in his heart, and while the card was still in the water, Oloy quickly let go and was about to take out a defensive card from his deck with his other hand, but his hand was suddenly held firmly by someone.
"younger brother."
The second prince's voice rang in his ears, and Oroi couldn't believe it, but when he looked up, he saw his second brother, who was very familiar to him. The other party had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes were empty, giving people a particularly creepy feeling of sickness.
"Thank you for your 'good luck'."
Ever since the second prince and his partner went on vacation to the honey travel planet, Oloy has not been able to successfully contact him. Oloy has no idea why the other party suddenly appeared here, let alone why he could approach him silently. He immediately looked at others and found that the lords and servants, including his own entourage, all stood there like clay sculptures, with the same empty eyes as the second prince, with a bit of obsession and madness, staring at the back of Oloy's head without blinking.
Oloy looked back and saw that the black card he had thrown away had slowly floated up like a feather. The moment the card left the pool water, the originally clear pool water gradually turned dark with the point of contact where the card left as the core, like white paper stained with ink, until it became a black and sticky slurry, emitting a terrifying and evil aura.
Oh no, it's a trap! I fell into it!
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Orloy saw the card floating in the air suddenly stop, and the card body quickly expanded and soon turned into a black door that could accommodate one person.
A figure stepped out of the door. He was a young man with purple eyes and silver hair. He looked extremely handsome and strange. Although he had a faint smile on his face, he still looked gloomy and cold. He slowly fell from the air to the ground, and his cold eyes looked around before locking onto Oloy.
"That card envoy named Ke Jin..." he said calmly, "didn't he come with you?"
