Seeing the lightning approaching, Xiao Ying was scared and screamed, then started to maneuver with the bird head staff, dodging left and right.
However, it seems that she doesn't have much flying experience. Several evasive maneuvers made the staff unstable, and she almost fell off the staff.
Fortunately, having practiced for years, Li Xiaolang was quick to react. He released the sword in his hand, wrapped his arms around Xiao Ying's waist, and then tightly held onto the staff with his other hand, stabilizing the staff again.
"Little Wolf, that's all the help the elder can give you."
George saw this and smiled satisfactorily. Then, a burst of light more powerful than the thunder beast erupted from him, and he walked up and grabbed the back of the neck of the thunder god.
"Seal!"
The sealing spell was cast, forcibly imprisoning the thunder beast's energy, transforming it back into a normal magical card.
With his ability, it was no difficulty for him to seal these almost depleted magical cards.
He did not do so because he knew that these magical cards were specifically left by Kurama for Xiao Ying. Moreover, his aim was to study rather than possess them.
This time he made an exception. In the future, he would not interfere in the capture of magical cards. He would watch at most and wait until Xiao Ying and Xiaolang collected them. Only then would he lend them for research.
"Elder, are you alright?"
While holding Xiao Ying, Xiaolang manipulated the bird head staff and finally flew to George's side.
George smiled at Xiao Ying and Xiaolang.
"I'm fine, are you guys alright?"
"We're fine."
Xiaolang finally realized that he still had his arms around Xiao Ying, and immediately let go, lowered his head, and turned red.
Xiao Ying's face turned even redder, as if it had turned into a monkey's butt.
"The children in this world are really mature."
George saw the situation and knew that his goal had been achieved, silently sighing to himself.
In fact, if the children in this world were not more mature than others, his actions would have little effect.
After all, he remembered that when he was ten, he was still playing in the mud, playing marbles and cracker fights with his friends, collecting the 108 heroes of Water Margin from instant noodles packets. He had no interest in girls back then.
But the children in this world, Xiao Ying had already developed romantic feelings for her brother and friend, Yuki, and she had the psychological maturity of an adult.
Zusanomugi Rika in her class, is secretly infatuated with Class Master, Terada Ryoko.
And, surprisingly, the couple ended up together.
It really fits that saying, "When you're at work, your future wife is still in elementary school."
Back on the ground, George took out the thunder card he had sealed.
"The sealing of the magical cards should have been a competition between the two of you, but this time it was an accident."
"After a while, I will release this card again. Then, you can compete to reclaim it with your own abilities. Whoever is able to reclaim it at that time will own it."
"That's fair. What do you think?"
"Um um."
Xiao Ying and Xiao Lai's faces were still flushed, and they nodded simultaneously.
After explaining, George returned to the villa with the thunder card and Li Xiaolang using phantom transportation, and Xiaolang finally relaxed.
"Xiaolong, you won't be upset that the elder didn't give you this magical card directly, will you?"
"Elder, I know you hope that I can obtain the recognition of the magical cards through my own abilities. Otherwise, even if I can obtain the cards, I will not be able to use them well in the future and will not be able to become a qualified sorcerer."
"I will rely on my own abilities to collect magical cards and become the true owner of them!"
Li Xiaolang replied resolutely.
George nodded.
"Good, you have ambition. In fact, I was thinking of giving up. Go do your homework. Capturing magical cards is important, but learning can't be neglected."
He had originally intended to tell Li Xiaolang his thoughts, but then he thought it might not be appropriate.
Kids at this age, if you really tell him, he might even become rebellious and refuse. It's better to let it happen naturally.
However, this matter should be discussed with Xiaolong's mother, who is the head of the family.
After sending Li Xiaolang off to do his homework, he returned to his room and made a long-distance call to Li Yelan, briefing her on the general situation here.
"I didn't expect the sealed beast to choose the successor of the magical cards first. That makes things difficult."
Li Yelan, on the other end of the line, expressed concern in her tone upon hearing about what had happened here.
The sealed beast does not recognize Li Xiaolang; it only recognizes its chosen heir. Therefore, even if Li Xiaolang eventually obtains more magical cards, he may not be able to inherit them perfectly in the end.
And if the magical cards self-seal at that time, everything will be for nothing.
"Yelan, you must broaden your horizons. I do have some different views."
George then went on to explain his ideas.
"As for this Xiao Ying, I have also seen her. She has a good appearance. Her mother passed away, and her father is a university professor. Being chosen by the sealed beast indicates that she has excellent character and high cultivation ability."
What's more important is that I feel there's a good connection between Xiaolong and Xiao Ying. They can get along well.
In my opinion, Elder, if the sealed beast insists on choosing its own heir in the end, let Xiaolong offer the magical cards in his hand as a dowry to Xiao Ying.
"When they grow up, we will marry Xiao Ying into the Li family, and in this way, our family will obtain the magical cards and also gain a top-level sorcerer."
"Elder, your idea is brilliant!"
There was a two-minute silence on the other end of the line, followed by Li Yelan's voice, filled with astonishment.
"Elder, it's no wonder you're an Elder. You came up with a two-win solution."
"Unfortunately, I cannot leave Hong Kong. Otherwise, I would definitely go and see what my future daughter-in-law looks like."
"It doesn't matter, let's wait for the winter vacation. I'll find an opportunity to bring them to Hong Kong during the winter vacation so you can meet them."
George smiled and replied.
He remembered that Xiao Ying had indeed gone to the Li family in Hong Kong during the winter vacation this year. She had also collected a magical card there and met a female sorcerer who had been ravaged by Magical Scoundrel.
After hanging up the phone, George prepared Xiaolong's dinner in advance using family magic and then began to seclude himself to study the Li family's thunder techniques and thunder cards.
For the next period of time, he barely left the villa.
During this time, Xiao Ying captured a sword card that would make her a top-level swordsman once used and could cut through anything.
There was also a flower card that could create all kinds of beautiful flowers, belonging to a curly-haired little sister with a gentle personality who loved to dance.
It could block all attacks and had an incredibly powerful protective ability.
George made many discoveries in his research on thunder cards until one day, while experimenting with thunder techniques in the room he was renovating, the whole town suddenly rang out bells.
Following that, he distinctly felt that the time in the entire world was beginning to reverse. The process was somewhat like using a time converter, but it was different.
Moreover, this time travel back twenty-four hours.
