Chapter 59 Grey Wolf's Gift
Pfft~
Staggering as he pushed open the door, a surge welled up in Gu Ye's chest. A mouthful of crimson blood suddenly splattered onto the clean floor. He murmured in a low voice, his tone filled with lingering fear and relief:
"As expected of a Gold-rank Card Master. Just a light sword strike, and I've suffered such heavy injuries. If it weren't for the armor's protection, I might have kicked the bucket."
Gu Ye dragged his heavy steps, moving inch by inch into the bedroom. He slumped onto the edge of the bed and tremblingly pulled out two cards emitting a faint green glow from the nightstand.
With a thought, two beams of soft green light instantly burst from the cards, turning into a warm light barrier that enveloped his entire body. Strands of healing energy slowly seeped into his limbs and bones, repairing his injuries.
These disposable healing cards don't require psionic energy to use freely, making them very convenient and essential items for home or travel.
After a while, the green light surrounding Gu Ye gradually dissipated. Gu Ye opened his eyes and rubbed his chest; his injuries had finally recovered a bit. He estimated that after resting for a few more days, he should be fine.
"It's still not as good as the school's [Holy Bath Chamber]. That thing can even reshape severed limbs."
After sighing, Gu Ye's fingertips moved slightly, and the Red Wolf card landed steadily in his palm.
He looked down and saw a clear countdown appearing at the bottom-left corner of the card: 359:58:56.

"A 15-day cooldown? When Big Big Wolf descended just now, he almost sucked me dry. It wasn't as simple as just absorbing psionic energy."
Gu Ye shuddered at the thought of the scene. His psionic energy was completely drained within two seconds, but in the subsequent seconds, he could clearly feel the vitality within his body being slowly drawn out. He still vividly remembered that feeling of exhaustion and aging originating from his marrow.
"Fortunately, Big Big Wolf gave me a gift and replenished all my vitality along the way. Otherwise, I would have aged several years by now."
This was no joke. A person's vitality represents not only their blood and qi but is also closely related to their lifespan.
"However, I'm really curious about what Big Big Wolf's gift is. For now, let's look at the legacy of a Gold-rank Card Master."
Gu Ye took out two cards from his pocket. The first card was a half-broken goat horn.
card: [Broken Horn of the Three-Coiled Goat]
Quality: [Blue]
Category: [Item/Mysterious]
Introduction: One of the ten thousand generations of descendants of the Black Goat, the broken horn of the son of the Three-Coiled Goat Clan's leader. This goat was once humiliated by a powerful enemy who snapped off one of its horns. This broken horn carries the shame of pain and an unbearable past.
"Why is it a blue card?" Gu Ye then checked the other one, which was also blue.
"You're a member of the Witch Society and a Gold-rank Card Master, yet you only dropped two blue cards? My luck can't be this bad, right?"
He knew in his heart that after a Card Master dies, the spiritual space within their body shatters. Only a very few cards and materials within the space can luckily survive. As for how many and what quality remain, it all depends on personal luck.
Some people might drop one or two high-level cards after death, while others might not leave behind a single one, not even a trace of psionic fluctuation.
Simply put, being able to get two blue cards from a Gold-rank Card Master was already considered decent luck.
Gu Ye was very envious of the shield the assassin used. Although his strength was what it was at the time, the shield didn't have a single scratch after blocking Gu Ye's attack. Gu Ye estimated it was at least a purple card.
It was a bit of a pity that it didn't drop.
After finishing his complaints, Gu Ye's attention returned to the gift from Big Big Wolf, and expectation reignited in his eyes: "Since no good items dropped from the assassin, let's see how powerful the gift from Big Big Wolf actually is."
The gift from Big Big Wolf had restored his vitality just by emitting a tiny bit of residual warmth. Wouldn't the gift itself be even more impressive?
Gu Ye's mind delved into his sea of consciousness to find the streak of light. He finally found it in a corner of his consciousness. It was drifting aimlessly, its light faint, jumping up and down and crashing left and right from time to time with an unruly appearance, as if treating Gu Ye's sea of consciousness as its own playground.
Looking at its arrogant behavior, Gu Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart: Hey, hey, hey, this is my sea of consciousness, not a place for you to run wild! Have you paid rent? How dare you wander around here?
Gu Ye's mind gently touched the streak of light. As if it had a consciousness of its own, it swayed slightly, appearing to be quite disdainful of Gu Ye.
Complaining aside, he still composed his mind and cautiously touched that streak of light with his will.
The streak of light seemed to have its own consciousness. The moment it was touched, it stopped abruptly and swayed a few times. The light around it flickered slightly, looking as if it were very disdainful of Gu Ye's touch, its whole face showing "don't touch me" resistance.
ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!
"Kid, where did this little magic cube come from?" Willow Crab and Night Dwelling Phoenix appeared beside Gu Ye, looking at the scene before them with curiosity.
"Magic cube!" Hearing Willow Crab say this, Gu Ye quickly asked:
"You can see what it looks like?"
"It's obvious." Willow Crab said with certainty.
"You can see it too?" Gu Ye turned to look at Night Dwelling Phoenix. Seeing her nod as well, Gu Ye realized he was being singled out.
He turned his head and looked resentfully at the magic cube, which was still silent. Hearing Willow Crab mention the words 'magic cube' just now, he had already guessed what Big Big Wolf's gift was.
The [weather magic cube]!
"Isn't the [weather magic cube] already shattered? How is it still here? And it's even recovered."
Once he subdued the [weather magic cube], he would know everything.
"Since your father..." Gu Ye paused, sounding a bit hesitant.
"It should be your father, after all, Big Big Wolf created it. And looking at it, it seems like an abandoned child."
Gu Ye reorganized his words, "After all, Big Big Wolf has already given you to me. If you want to see him..."
At this, the [weather magic cube] suddenly reacted. Gu Ye continued:
"If you don't cooperate with me, you might never see Big Big Wolf again."
Hearing Gu Ye threaten the [weather magic cube] like this, Night Dwelling Phoenix and the other looked at him with contempt.
Gu Ye rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
And the [weather magic cube], hearing the phrase "never see Big Big Wolf again," immediately panicked.
It quickly spun around Gu Ye's will a few times, the golden light around it flickering even more urgently. It looked as if it were about to cry and hurriedly expressed its submission.
In the next second, the light around the [weather magic cube] fluctuated slightly. The barrier that had originally enveloped it and blocked Gu Ye's perception was instantly removed.
Gu Ye's will focused on it and finally saw its appearance clearly.
