Chapter 32
Little Wang
"What are you trying to do? Just stand there!"
Kero's loud shout, carried by the gusts of wind, reached Sakura's ears.
"Standing still? I really am standing still." Sakura was taken aback.
"I mean, hurry up and think of something! Don't just stand there!" Little Ke nearly choked on its breath, pointing at the giant bird in the sky and shouting, "This is your first job as a Cardcaptor Sakura! Go! Seal it away! Otherwise, those chicken wings of its might destroy this entire town!"
"Me? Go and seal it away?"
Sakura looked up at the giant bird soaring across the sky and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
If she were to run into someone's face, those chicken wings would probably kill her on the spot before they even destroyed the entire town.
A fierce wind was blowing in the sky.
A shadow loomed over the sky, and the flapping of the phoenix's wings even caused thick, dark clouds to roll down from above.
It can truly be described as—the wind subsides and the clouds turn inky black, autumn's desolation deepens into twilight!
The gusts of wind were like furious tigers, roaring arrogantly, powerful and deafening.
The earth was shrouded in darkness, and the moon was nowhere to be seen. Everything seemed to be obscured, with only streaks of moonlight shining down from the dark clouds.
The phoenix in the sky was pure white and flawless, and was enormous.
Its plumage seemed to glow, shimmering with a crystal-clear radiance under the silk-like moonlight, making it exceptionally beautiful and dreamlike.
As the phoenix spread its wings, a burst of clear light descended, and divine radiance appeared in patches, shining with endless splendor on the dark earth.
"Swish"
"Swish"
However, although the bird glows, the sound of its flapping wings is like the sharp, piercing cry of some kind of wild demon.
The surrounding trees were bent very low, and the grass blades were broken and scattered everywhere.
Sakura was initially hesitant, but under Kero's relentless urging, she finally gave in.
She sneaked out of the house, taking her roller skates with her.
"Will this even work?" Sakura's face was full of doubt. Wearing roller skates, she struggled against the fierce and violent wind as she chased after the phoenix. "I'm still in my pajamas! Won't they let me change?"
"Whether you can do it or not, you have to do it, magical girl! There's no time to change your clothes right now, just go for it!" Kero shouted.
"Where am I going? I'm about to be blown away!" Sakura exclaimed, raising both hands above her head to minimize the resistance.
"You're the only Cardcaptor Sakura left in the world, so of course you should go up and seal this rampaging Clow Card!"
Braving the fierce wind, Xiao Ke and Sakura chased after the pure white bird ahead.
Not long after Sakura and Kero sneaked out of the house.
Sakura's doorway.
"Knock knock"
Touya stood outside Sakura's house and knocked on her door twice. He was holding a carton of yogurt and some digestive tablets.
"Hmm? Why isn't it moving?"
Touya knocked on the door twice, but found that there was no response from inside, which made him a little strange.
If he were to knock on the door normally, the little monster inside would probably be howling loudly by now.
"I'm coming in!"
After saying that, Touya reached out and grasped the doorknob. "It's windy outside today, remember to close the windows. Also, what did you eat for dinner tonight? It was too..."
"Huh? Where is everyone?"
Touya opened the door and poked his head inside, only to find that there wasn't a soul in the room.
"No wonder he didn't make a sound," Touya frowned.
"Did he go to the bathroom?" But he didn't think much of it. After putting the things on Sakura's desk, he closed the door and left Sakura's room.
"How can these chicken wings be so strong? They're blowing so hard I can barely open my eyes!"
In a patch of grass, Wang Changsheng, who had been lying in ambush, felt the strong wind pressing in on him from all sides and couldn't help but curse.
"call!"
Suddenly, at that moment, a huge creature landed not far from him.
"Huh? Is this the flying card?" Wang Changsheng, hiding in the bushes, felt the sudden increase in wind force and steadied himself.
He secretly peered through the gaps in the grass at the celestial bird outside.
At this moment, the celestial bird landed on the grass nearby, gently pecking at its own feathers, preening its body and grooming its wings.
"It's so big!" Wang Changsheng was stunned when he first saw it. "It looks like a big white pheasant."
The thing standing next to him, with its enormous size, gave him a great sense of oppression.
At the same time, he could clearly feel a violent magical aura surging out from the giant bird.
Wang Changsheng, who was observing the flying cards, noticed Xiaoying chasing after the giant bird not far away.
The other party hid around the corner, secretly observing the celestial bird.
"It's so big! How can I seal it away?"
Sakura, hiding around the corner, asked Kero.
The sound wasn't quiet; Wang Changsheng, hiding in the bushes, could hear it, which made him twitch his lips.
Aren't you afraid that the big pheasant will hear you with such a loud voice?
Are they openly and loudly plotting something here?
"You're Cardcaptor Sakura, so of course you'll have to come up with a solution!"

Xiao Ke's voice also reached Wang Changsheng's ears.
Its sound was even louder than Sakura's, and because the constant whistling of the wind had disappeared, it sounded extremely jarring in the quiet night.
The phoenix that was preening its feathers seemed to have been startled by Xiao Ke's voice.
It immediately raised its head and let out a piercing cry.
"Hey——!"
As this sound rang out, an even more violent wind, brewing boundless power, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and with a magnificent and vast impact, swept in from all directions.
"Ouch!" Sakura was almost knocked over by the sudden gust of wind and quickly pulled her head back behind the wall.
As for Xiao Ke, because her head-to-body ratio was so small, when the strong wind blew up, she didn't have time to hide and was instantly blown away by the wind, rising up on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Wang Changsheng's eye twitched.
Xiao Ke is a good-for-nothing who only causes trouble!
"Swish"
A branch suddenly pierced through the void and wrapped around Xiao Ke.
This is the effect Wang Changsheng achieved by using the World Tree, and it is also one of the many insignificant abilities of the World Tree.
"Huh?"
Kero, caught in the twig, was momentarily stunned, as was Sakura, who was hiding in the corner.
"Little Wang?"
Both of them were taken aback when they saw Wang Changsheng emerge from the bushes.
At the foot of the phoenix that was spreading its wings, before the forest, stood a figure, bathed in the beautiful and clear moonlight. Dressed in white, he was as beautiful as snow and had an unparalleled appearance.
His eyes still held the sparkle and brilliance of warm snow that hadn't yet melted in spring, a gentle, captivating light that drew attention.
"Sakura, I'm here to help you."
