"Whether or not to use this power depends on your thoughts and choices. Like I said before, I don't know what price you will pay."

The store manager An Jinrou always had a playful smile on her face, and Xu Fengwu could see it through the veil.

But that smile quickly froze on his face.

An Jinrou opened a tattered box in the corner. Some of the compartments were filled with tarot cards inlaid with gold edges, while most of the spaces were empty with nothing on them.

The moment the box was opened, An Jinrou noticed the empty compartment in the lower right corner of the box. The smile on her face that was originally about to start a good show suddenly turned into an extremely ugly look.

The card placed in that grid was originally [The world].

How could An Jinrou not know that the power represented by the World card is [Borrowed Time], a power that is enough to fly through time and start all over again.

As the last card in the Major Arcana deck, [The World] seals the afterimage of the Yog Bubble from her world. The power of the Key of the Gate allows this card to borrow time from fate, but using the World card will result in the loss of the unknown future.

This kind of luck regarding the future is unknowable and invisible. If this luck originally allowed its owner to live to the age of ninety, then if she loses this luck, she may die at the age of twenty.

The price that comes with the time bestowed by fate is not something that mortals can afford.

She could never have imagined that at some point in time she would use the world for other people.

The World Card has been reduced to ashes, and it is obvious that someone has used it to forcibly reverse time.

"What's wrong, Manager?" Looking at An Jinrou who was standing there in a daze, Xu Fengwu thought for a moment that something had happened to her.

"...No, nothing..." An Jinrou shook her head and then sighed, "Let's continue talking about your story."

An Jinrou opened the lock of the glass cover in the box and took out a sun card with a gold border. Unlike the ordinary tarot cards used for divination, the patterns surrounded by the gold border were platinum, with a light sky blue as a background.

"This card belongs to you now. It's up to you whether you want to use it or not." As she said that, she handed the Sun Card towards Xu Fengwu.

Xu Fengwu took the tarot cards with both hands and held them carefully. This sun card was smaller than the tarot cards used in the store, only the size of her palm. She thought it should be a very light card, but it felt like a slate in her hand. At first glance, this tarot card was really well made. Even if it was useless and just a collection, it would probably have a lot of value.

"Just like the story of the Sun Tarot card, this card itself has the power to transcend constraints and make your dreams come true. Although it may not be as mysterious as the introduction, it is still completely possible to make your love dreams come true." An Jinrou said softly, "The power of the sun overcomes everything. It is not disturbed by external forces, nor will it be resisted by internal forces."

"Then...how do I use it?" Xu Fengwu asked curiously.

"It's very simple, just like when you go to other churches, temples or other places to pray, hold the Sun Card and make a wish to it. If you have never been together, then just wish for you to be together. If you are together but separated, then just wish for you to get back together." An Jinrou regained her signature smile and answered Xu Fengwu's question.

"If I really choose to do this, what will happen to her..."

"Hmm? What do you mean? Is the customer talking about the girl you like? Of course she will fall in love with you." After hearing Xu Fengwu's words, An Jinrou seemed to frown, as if blaming her for not even understanding this.

"No... I mean, why did she fall in love with me? If the Sun Card is real, what power did it use to make that girl like me again..." Xu Fengwu whispered, "Is it like mind control?"

“… Maybe that’s it.”

An Jinrou's answer may have answered Xu Fengwu's doubts, but it also made Xu Fengwu silent. An Jinrou beside her just let her sit in front of the counter with her head down for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Fengwu raised his head, put the Sun card back on the table, and pushed it towards An Jinrou.

"I'm sorry, manager. I appreciate your kindness, but I still can't use it." Xu Fengwu and An Jinrou met eyes, and their eyes seemed to be filled with some determination.

"Can you tell me why?"

It was clearly a question, but what An Jinrou's face revealed was not curiosity, but a kind of appreciation.

"What I want is that she really likes me now again, which means that I have really changed. This time she likes the changed me instead of her lingering love for Bai Yueguang, just like my mother said. If I used this card, and it was real, maybe I would become the person who was too proud and never cared about her feelings. I don't want to become like that again. Maybe this time she will indulge me for the rest of my life, but that is not the result I want." Xu Fengwu suddenly laughed, a particularly relieved smile.

"I also want to pursue a love that truly belongs to me, just like them. I understand that part of my feelings for her are due to my reluctance to let go of the past, my anxiety over losing her protection, and my jealousy over having something taken away from me. All of this stems from my love for her, and I will learn to accept it. If I still lose in the end, I won't have any regrets, but I got her in this way, and maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Besides, I won't lose. I said I would prove that as her white moonlight, I can be better than any other woman."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Jinrou on the opposite side actually started clapping.

The Sun card, which was originally in an upright position, suddenly turned into a reversed position when facing Xu Fengwu. It then spontaneously combusted on the table without any fire, and turned into ashes that slowly dissipated.

“God helps those who help themselves. There is no distinction between high and low in people, but there are distinctions in hearts. If you trap yourself in a cage, no one can save you.”

"With a holy heart, you can transcend the dark and depraved dreams. You are truly remarkable for being able to withstand the temptations of your heart."

After An Jinrou finished speaking, the tower that was originally at the position of the fate card turned into ashes, and then a new tarot card was revealed. The holiness of that tarot card was even stronger than the magical sun, and the pattern looked like it was cast directly with platinum.
