Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 423 Counterfeits

Di Xing said to Zhuang Si Dai, "I'll find a way to give you the card, but please give me some time."

Stella Jones gracefully extended one index finger. "I'm only giving you one week."

That's enough.

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Luo Jixian looked at Di Xing with a smile.

"How about it, young man? Interested in becoming my male servant? You'll be my first male servant, and I'll even help you with the card stuff."

"Please excuse my refusal," Di Xing said decisively. Luo Jixian was very beautiful, but his own group of women were no less so.

"Really? I think we'd be a great match."

Luo Ji's delicate pink eyes gazed at Di Xing, seemingly possessing an alluring magic that beckoned him to agree. Just as Di Xing was slightly stunned...

"Thump!" A plate was slammed down in front of Di Xing.

Di Xing was startled. He looked up and saw that it was Tian Xuan!

Tianxuan unceremoniously shoved Dixing into the inner corner.

Di Xing looked awkwardly at her, who was full of anger, and at Xiao Ai, who was hiding in the corner watching the drama unfold.

"This lecherous man has already attracted a large number of women. I advise you to stay away from him."

"Then why did you get close to him?" Stella Jones asked provocatively.

"Oh dear, are you jealous, classmate?" Luo Jixian covered her mouth and chuckled.

Then the three stunning beauties' gazes clashed intensely, as if lightning struck between them.

Di Xing sat to one side like a little lamb, muttering softly, "Stop arguing."

“Shut up!”

Ai Aragaki, the girl from the same class, watched in trembling fear, thinking, "How terrifying! I definitely need to stay away from that guy."

This chaotic scene finally ended when the school bell rang.

Di Xing fled the scene as if running away, while Chen Mo, holding a drawn watermelon, waited for him at the elevator entrance with her big, curious eyes. "Who called you over there?"

"Stop talking, squad leader, run!"

"I'm not the class monitor. It's just that Ms. Li Qi appointed me as her class representative without my consent. Hey, don't pull me away!"

......

Back in the classroom, Di Xing looked utterly dejected. Lian Shi curiously nudged him and asked, "What happened, buddy? Did someone cook you?"

"Get lost! I'm annoyed."

This is such a hassle. I still need to figure out how to get [Bu Ran Jian] back. But at least I managed to keep that Zhuang Si Dai in check. Otherwise, if those old bastards saw me having lunch with a beautiful woman, they'd turn into the FFF group on the spot.

"Thump!" The classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Tianxuan, the school's hottest girl of the day, walked in.

"Di Xing, the custodian said there are no vacant dorm rooms left, and he suggested I stay at your place."

...Di Xing was stunned. He saw all the boys in his class slowly turn around and look at him, then silently pull out their triangular hoods and put them on. The next moment, a chilling red light flashed from the holes in the hoods.

Di Xing turned and ran, but Lian Shi grabbed him.

"Lian Shi, you son of a bitch!" Di Xing was interrupted by his classmates before he could finish speaking.

After everyone had left, Tianxuan squatted down and poked Di Xing, who was lying on the ground. "Are you still alive? Why did they hit you?"

"This is all thanks to a certain clueless young lady," Di Xing said irritably. "Also, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have an anti-gravity skirt. Besides, black doesn't really suit your cute style..."

"Thump!" Di Xing completely fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on a desk in the classroom. Tianxuan was standing next to him, her face flushed and her cheeks puffed out in anger. "I was going to leave you here and go straight back to Youquan Pavilion, but the elevator to the fourth floor was broken."

Di Xing scratched his head awkwardly. That elevator used to be used only a few times a year, but recently they'd been using it so heavily that it was probably overloaded.

"Ai Xiao is also at Youquan Pavilion now, so I'll have to sleep in your dorm tonight. But I didn't bring any pajamas, so will you come with me to buy some?"

So, Di Xing and Tian Xuan went to the mall outside the school to buy her pajamas.

The shopping mall on the third floor is similar to the real one, with a wide variety of colorful and eye-catching clothing in the clothing section.

Tianxuan was overwhelmed by the choices, and in the middle of it all, Di Xing even brought out a cute pink hospital gown for her to look at. Unsurprisingly, she got punched in the stomach again.

Finally, Di Xing chose an adorable ice-blue penguin nightgown for Tian Xuan.

"Your taste is pretty good!" Tianxuan twirled around happily in her pajamas.

"Whatever you like is fine." After all, Di Xing had helped his sister pick out clothes before, so he picked up a cute pink dinosaur pajama set.

"What are you doing with the children's pajamas?" Tianxuan's expression immediately turned hostile towards Di Xing.

"What are you thinking? This is a thank-you gift for the little dinosaur."

Di Xing glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. Let's eat first and then go back to the dorm."

So Di Xing and Tian Xuan went to a small stall selling shaved ice and ice cream next to the mall.

Tianxuan happily scooped a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth, immediately revealing an expression of pure bliss.

"This is so delicious!"

"Yeah, your prototype uses an ice-themed deck, so I knew you'd love ice cream."

When the prototype was mentioned, Tianxuan's mood visibly dropped.

"So you're also using me as a replacement for my original self?"

"No, no, no!" Di Xing hurriedly explained, "I was just speculating about your preferences, you are you!"

Tianxuan stirred her ice cream with a spoon, looking melancholy.

"Sometimes I wonder, what is the meaning of my existence? I am nothing but a replica, a counterfeit. Isn't the fate of a counterfeit to be destroyed? Would it be better if the Holy Elephant Hunters hunted me down?"

"Smack!" Di Xing flicked Tianxuan's forehead.

Tianxuan immediately covered her forehead, glaring angrily at Di Xing, "What are you doing?"

Di Xing laughed and said, "Silly girl, don't worry about yourself. I have a saying for you: 'Whether it's the real thing or a fake, the moon always looks round.'"

—From Meowth, the clone from Pokémon 1.5 movie, Mewtwo: Rise of the Storm.

Di Xing and Tian Xuan looked up together at the bright moon in the sky.

Then Di Xing seemed to suddenly hallucinate hearing the words, "I've been banned before I even appeared on screen!!!"

So he quickly added, "Whether it's a fake or not, the ice cream you eat will be sweet."

Tianxuan then looked at the delicious ice cream in front of her.

"It'll melt if you don't eat it quickly," Di Xing said in an unusually gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Tianxuan suddenly started stuffing ice cream into her mouth like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, she had finished the whole bowl of ice cream.

Then Tianxuan used all her strength to lift the ice cream bowl and shouted in a vibrant voice, "Give me another one!"

"Okay, coming right away!" A familiar voice rang out.

Di Xing turned his head in astonishment, startled. "Squad leader! What are you doing here?"
