Chapter 288 Light and Darkness

In the boundless darkness, Sakura looked at the darkness climbing up from her feet, shocked.

If she waited until the darkness completely submerged her, she might not even be able to see herself.

“Don’t cry!”

A feeling of helplessness lingered over her. Looking at the darkness spreading from her feet, Sakura clenched her teeth and silently encouraged herself. She must not show weakness at this time, she must be strong.

Thinking back on everything I had experienced so far, somehow, the fear I had originally felt gradually subsided in the darkness.

"No problem, I will definitely find a way."

"Absolutely no problem!"

As soon as these words, which she often used to encourage herself, came out, Sakura's body suddenly emanated a warm and soft glow. The darkness that was surrounding her suddenly stopped under this glow, and then faded away from her feet little by little.

Looking at herself glowing, Sakura was confused for a second, then she understood instantly.

“I understand, because I am shining, so even in darkness, I can see myself.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally faint light suddenly intensified, and an even more intense light slowly floated out of her body as if to illuminate the world.

Then, the floating white light transformed into a woman's figure in mid-air.

The woman had flowing white hair and was wearing a robe as white as snow. She had a slightly curly hairstyle, a gentle face, and a crown-like decoration on her head, as if she was the owner of all the glory in the world.

Looking at the white-haired woman who appeared in front of her, Sakura stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Are you a Clow Card too?"

In response to Sakura's question, the white-haired woman smiled and said, "Yes, I have been in your heart since the seal of the card was broken."

Hearing this, Sakura silently pressed her chest and replied: "I don't know."

"Because you didn't give up hope even when you were in the darkness, and then you noticed my existence, that's why I was able to show up."

After that, the white-haired woman winked at Xiaoying playfully and asked, "Let me ask you a question. What is the thing that can illuminate the darkness?"

Sakura heard this, thought for a moment and immediately replied: "It's Guang!"

"bingo."

The next moment, boundless light burst out, and in that light, the light card's hair danced, just like the sun that dispelled the deep darkness around it.

Facing the not-so-bright light, Sakura looked around in surprise. At this moment, this space was neither dark nor bright, but more like a chaos of the two.

After a few seconds, the dispelled darkness did not disappear, but gathered in front of the light sign and also transformed into a woman's figure.

The newly appeared woman had jet-black hair, and was wearing a black robe that was the opposite color of the light card. She had a princess cut hairstyle and also wore a crown-like headdress on her head.

Looking at the other woman who appeared in front of her, Xiaoying asked in surprise: "Are you... a hidden card?"

The dark card smiled slightly, raised his hand and clasped hands with the light card, and looked at Sakura's position together. Only then did the dark card speak.

"Luckily you found the light. I knew you could seal me away."

Guangpai chuckled and continued, "She is a girl who can let me live in her heart."

After saying this, Light looked at Sakura again and said, "Please don't hate Dark. This is also a test for you as the owner of the Clow Cards."

"test?"

The light card did not answer, but the dark card said: "The final decision is made by Yue, please do your best."

After saying this, the Dark Card and the Light Card smiled at each other and said at the same time: "Then, seal us together."

"Okay, okay." Sakura, who was still thinking about what the test was, was reminded by the light cards and the hidden cards. She hurriedly came back to her senses, held the key necklace in her hand in front of her eyes, and whispered.

"O key that hides the power of darkness, show me your true power..."

This time, the key responded. The golden sun and moon magic circle lit up under her feet, and surging magic power flowed through it.

"Sakura, who made a promise with you, orders you to lift the seal!"

As the spell was recited, the small key instantly turned into a bird-headed magic wand. After taking the magic wand in her hand, Sakura raised it high and then smashed it down.

"Return to your original form - Clow Card!"

Ding--!
A soft sound echoed, and the light and dark cards in front of the magic wand immediately turned into black and white interwoven streams of light, sinking into the illusory card that appeared.

Taking this opportunity, Sakura hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, please! Who is Yue!?"

"The moon is right beside you." The hidden card gave the final hint.

"What!?"

But Sakura still couldn't understand, but Guangpai's gentle voice came.

"It's okay. Even without me, your heart is full of light."

"You have an invincibility spell, which is 'Absolutely No Problem'."

As the words ended, the seal of light and darkness also ended. Two cards condensed in mid-air and slowly floated into Sakura's hands.

Sakura blinked as she looked at the two Clow Cards that fell into her hands. When she heard Guangpai say that the words of encouragement he gave herself were her invincibility spell, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Suddenly, the chaotic space disappeared in an instant. When light and darkness were sealed, the areas where they were intertwined also dissipated. Time flowed again, and everything returned to the state before the darkness shrouded it.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, and then at the two Clow Cards in her hand, Sakura couldn't help but jump with excitement.

"Great, everything is back to normal!"

Seeing Li Syaoran reappear in front of her, Sakura pounced on him and hugged him in her arms, her joy beyond words.

Li Syaoran, who was originally a little dazed and didn't know what was going on, was suddenly hugged by Xiaoying. Blood gradually rushed to his head and his face turned red.

Seeing this scene, Li Meiling, who was originally lying on the ground, stood up instantly and couldn't help but clenched her fists. The same thing happened to Touya. When he saw his sister hugging that nasty kid, he clenched his fists instantly and wished he could rush onto the stage directly.

Seeing that Xiaoying wouldn't let go of her hug, Li Meiling's face gradually turned red and she ran straight towards the two of them.

"Hey! Have you hugged the little wolf enough? Let go of the little wolf!"

But before she could run over, someone suddenly grabbed the cape of her costume, restraining her in place.

"Hey, the prince and princess have defeated the bad witch, so what's wrong with a hug? You bad witch, don't go up and disturb them."

Xia Yu pulled Li Meiling's cloak and made sarcastic remarks.

Although he didn't see what happened with his own eyes, he caught a glimpse of the two Clow Cards in Sakura's hand. If he was right, they should be the light card and hidden card captured at the talent show.

Sakura is quite amazing. As expected, even without anyone's help, she can solve the problem of the Clow Cards alone.

This is growth.

Xia Yu looked at Xiaoying who was hugging Li Xiaolang and cheering excitedly, and felt emotional. Li Meiling, who was being held by him, was struggling frantically and pulling at her cloak hard.

"Let me go, damn it!"
