Miracle Card Shop: All My Cards Can Be Actualize

"Okay, okay, little one, don't run off, or you might get lost," Tian Xingyun said with a sweet smile as she followed her daughter closely. She kept her spiritual sense attuned to Little Sylvana and even marked little Sylvana with spiritual energy to track her and ensure she wouldn't get lost.

The two were enjoying a rare day off together, as they were the only ones home. Envy had gone to Europe to meet with someone important—a matter that didn't concern Tian Xingyun. Greed was still in the U.S., tying up loose ends before relocating her headquarters to New Atlantis, with Michaela accompanying her to provide security.

Koyuki remained in Japan, where Pride had also gone, likely to pester her rival while indulging in sushi prepared by Gluttony, who had returned to Japan to continue running her sushi restaurant.

As for Penthesilea, Tian Xingyun didn't consider her a rival—not in the same sense as the others. Penthesilea was already pregnant with Daniel's child—a true, flesh-and-blood heir. In Tian Xingyun's eyes, this elevated her to a different status entirely. Penthesilea had achieved her goal, becoming the true lady of the house and the mother of Daniel's firstborn.

That distinction placed her outside the competition.

Coming from a society where multiple wives were the norm, Tian Xingyun had no issue with Daniel having several wives. However, she believed there should be a clear hierarchy based on merit and respect. This belief fueled her intense competition with Envy, who appeared to hold the highest regard among Daniel's women.

Strangely, Tian Xingyun couldn't fully explain her feelings in this as well. She could accept anyone else among Daniel's women receiving his love and attention without feeling jealous—but not Envy. Something about her provoked an inexplicable, deep-seated rivalry within Tian Xingyun.

She followed little Sylvana, holding her hand, as they arrived at the pygmy hippo enclosure. A crowd had gathered, cheering and laughing at the hippo's antics. It acted like a curious child—playful yet wary of its surroundings. Occasionally, it became hyperactive, interacting with its mother and caretaker in ways that were both adorable and hilarious. With its short legs and clumsy but energetic movements, in conclusion it acts like a hyper panda on steroids, eliciting laughter and delight from the audience.

During this time, Tian Xingyun felt an unsettling gaze from someone nearby, their intent unmistakably perverse. Though it made her uncomfortable, she chose to endure it for Sylvana's sake, focusing on the little girl's joy as she watched the pygmy hippo chase a ball like an overexcited puppy rather than a typical hippo. The crowd erupted in laughter at the animal's comedic antics, and Tian Xingyun kept her composure, ensuring Sylvana's enjoyment was undisturbed.

After a while, Sylvana seemed satisfied and realized she had monopolized the front row. Tugging at Tian Xingyun's hand, she suggested they leave and find something to eat since it was already lunchtime.

Tian Xingyun nodded with a motherly smile. Although she wished to showcase her cooking skills once more for little Sylvana to enjoy a homemade meal, she had to admit there was one thing she couldn't make, the ice cream. This simple treat was the main reason Sylvana loved eating out whenever she went on outings with her parents.

Tian Xingyun settled into a seat at one of the zoo's luxurious restaurants. The venue's safari and jungle-themed decor, combined with the staff dressed as natives of the jungle, created an immersive atmosphere that made little Sylvana giddy with excitement.

Little Sylvana immediately pointed at the menu, her eyes lighting up at the sight of a picture featuring a whole green coconut serving as an ice cream bowl. The dish was topped with an array of ice cream flavors centered around coconut and adorned with various fruits.

"Sister waitress, I want this coconut ice cream..." the little one said eagerly, pointing at the image.

However, Tian Xingyun gently stopped her.

"No, sweetie, you shouldn't eat ice cream on an empty stomach. It's bad for your health. We'll have ice cream after we finish our main dish first," Tian Xingyun said with a touch of admonishment in her voice. Her firm yet caring tone earned a small smile from the waitress.

"Yes, Mama," Sylvana replied, her enthusiasm dampened just a little, though she obediently accepted the decision.

As they placed their order, Tian Xingyun once again felt that uncomfortable gaze directed at her. This time, she pinpointed the source—a man seated at a nearby table. He was accompanied by several others who appeared to be his entourage. Their clothing was varied: some wore casual shirts and jeans, while others were dressed in suits, attempting to blend in as ordinary people.

Her spiritual sense checked on them and knew that these people came from the Immortal Realm. She quickly assessed their cultivation levels and discovered that the strongest among them was merely at the Nascent Soul stage. Compared to her, who had already reached the peak of the Immortal Realm, these ants are no match for her.

But even so, for little Sylvana's sake, she decided to ignore them. She didn't want to spoil their outing day with unnecessary bloodshed, she knew that the moment she triggered, she would have their blood! She doesn't want to ruin it.

Their pervert gaze directed at her was annoying, but that was it! As long as they won't try to provoke her, she wouldn't bother with them.

(Author's Note: The cultivation levels in the Immortal Realm are as follows: Qi Refinement >> Core Formation >> Foundation Establishment >> Golden Core >> Nascent Soul >> Divine Transformation >> Celestial Transformation >> Transcendent >> Immortal.)

After a short wait, the dishes they ordered arrived. Little Sylvana eagerly began eating, her joy evident with each bite. Tian Xingyun also ate her portion, savoring the flavors while contemplating whether she could replicate the dish at home for Sylvana.

However, her peaceful moment was interrupted when one of the men accompanying the Nascent Soul expert approached their table.

"Rejoice, peasant! Our young master has decided to recognize you as one of his women. Even though you are a used goods, your demeanor and noble bearing have impressed him. Thus, he has magnanimously decided to make an exception for you!" the man declared loudly, as if delivering a divine proclamation. His words immediately drew curious gazes and whispers from the other guests in the restaurant.

"Used goods? What's that?" Little Sylvana innocently asks.

[That's it! I've decided. I'm going to beat the sh*t out of all of them!] Tian Xingyun thought to herself, her patience finally snapping. Despite her seething anger, she maintained a calm and sweet exterior, smiling at the envoy with flawless poise.

"Please, allow me to send a message to someone to pick up my daughter first," she said with a honeyed smile, her tone gentle and composed.

The envoy, stunned by the sight of her radiant, goddess-like smile, momentarily lost his composure.

"Oh! Of course, take your time," he stammered, a faint blush creeping across his face. Inwardly, he prayed that once his young master was done with this woman, he might get his turn as well.

— Young Master POV —

"Please, allow me to send a message to someone to pick up my daughter first," the woman said with a sweet smile directed at one of my servants.

That damn servant had the audacity to have an idea on my woman! I've decided—I'll beat the crap out of that fool later. For now, I need to focus on showing her my gentlemanly and refined side.

To demonstrate my magnanimity, I've decided to cover all of her expenses. A gesture of care and superiority befitting someone of my status. From my observations—rarely mistaken, of course—it seems that the little girl is her daughter. Judging by her features, it's evident she'll grow into a breathtaking beauty, just like her mother. Once she's of age, I'll claim her as mine as well. Find more to read at empire

After some time, a large, muscular man dressed in a black leather jacket and wearing sunglasses entered the restaurant. The woman gently picked up her daughter and handed her to him. The man bowed respectfully to her, clearly a subordinate. He likely serves as both a bodyguard and caretaker for the child.

Hmm… this means she's one of the upper echelons of this mortal realm? Interesting… she's becoming more and more worthy of me. She's proving to be more than just a simple bed warmer. Maybe… a position as one of my concubines might also be fitting for her after all.

The woman stood up and came toward me, hmm… she immediately knew that I'm the leader of these people without me telling her? She has eyes!

"I'm ready, Young Master. Shall we go to a place more befitting of your esteemed self?" the woman asked me with her goddess-like smile.

Ahhh, that smile—I can't get enough of it. If this woman becomes one of my concubines, I'll ensure she remains by my side, serving me personally. She'll pour my tea, practice calligraphy with me, and prepare sweets for my enjoyment.

Her smile feels like the most precious thing in the world.
