Little Bear

"It's over!"

Li Yan's lips twitched slightly. The Experience tells. In front of this Elf who had lived for thousands of years, his concealed Mana fluctuations were a complete joke. His Mana fluctuations could be seen at a glance.

"Looks like you've tested me. Why did you try to deceive me by looking like a child? Or are you under some kind of curse?"

Serie reached out and tore the back of Li Yan's clothes, revealing a lush, ancient green Ancient Tree Magic Array that suddenly emitted a burst of vitality.

"It seems to be this magic. Your Mana has been fluctuating. If it weren't for that, I really wouldn't be sure. After all, your Mana Suppression Magic is very subtle."

"Ahem... I can explain, Grandmaster."

Li Yan's face showed an embarrassment. As expected of the Grandmaster, he was the pinnacle of the magic world. He could see that something was wrong with her at a glance and judged her overall condition by the fluctuation of Mana.

"What's there to explain? It's just a faked death and the fact that you haven't come to see me for a thousand years. I knew you weren't dead all along. How could two mere Seven Sages of Destruction and some ant-like Demons possibly kill you, the wielder of the Holy Sword? I'm just curious about the secret of your immortality for a thousand years in a human body. Is it related to this ancient green Ancient Tree Magic Array?"

Seeing that Serie was not too concerned about his faked death while examining the Eternal Youth Magic, Li Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, which made him relax involuntarily.

"Grandmaster, this is Eternal Youth Magic, a magic that can restore a seventy- or eighty-year-old man to his youthful appearance. As for why I haven't died after a thousand years, that's for other reasons, unrelated to magic. I believe Grandmaster certainly wouldn't be interested in that."

As Li Yan explained, his face showed a hint of apology, but more so the embarrassment of having his identity exposed by Serie at a glance. He had thought he could get away with it, and although he had guessed that his Grandmaster would see through him, he did not expect it to be done in just a glance.

"Eternal Youth Magic? That's quite interesting." Serie chuckled and gently touched Li Yan's back. The next second, countless enormous vines enveloped and bound Li Yan's entire body. Just as she was about to unleash her full power to burst the vines apart, several unfamiliar Sealing Magic timely suppressed Li Yan's limbs. The ancient magical trajectories were clearly from the Mythical Era.

Sensing that his Grandmaster was serious, Li Yan was able to break free instantly, but thinking that this might calm his Grandmaster down, he stopped struggling.

"Grandmaster, if you're angry, just beat me up. As long as it makes you feel better."

Seeing that his Grandmaster had even set up several layers of Space Magic Sealing Barriers, Li Yan could feel his Grandmaster's seriousness; it seemed that his Grandmaster was truly angry.

"I'm not angry, A Yan. It's just that you lied to me for a mere thousand years. It's just that bad kids do wrong things and need to be taught a lesson."

A bright smile spread across Serie's face as several enormous vines lashed out at Li Yan's buttocks...

"Flame Vines, Frost Vines, Thorn Vines, Earth Vines, Gale Vines, Five Elements Vines."

Faced with the combined attack of several vines, Li Yan's lips twitched. His Grandmaster had truly researched all sorts of magic to teach him a lesson, especially for Magic Warrior like himself.

Fortunately, my perfect physique only required me to verbally beg for mercy to deal with these attacks. The blows felt like scraping my skin. You know, I used to endure Frieren's Thunder of Destruction every day to train my physique.

"Da me~ Grandmaster."

"Yamadie, Grandmaster, please go easy on me."

"It hurts so much, Grandmaster, I was wrong."

Li Yan pleaded desperately for mercy, but Serie watched Li Yan's exaggerated expression indifferently. Suddenly, a purple flame rose in her hand, and all the vines retreated. She was already planning to take action herself.

"I almost forgot, A Yan, your physique has been honed for a thousand years; these few vines really can't hurt you."

Serie thoughtfully raised her delicate hand and gently patted Li Yan. The purple flames, carrying a scorching heat, couldn't harm Serie's hand in the slightest. On the contrary, Li Yan could feel the threat posed by the flames.

"Grandmaster, your hand is on fire! What kind of magic is this? It feels really painful when it hits me."

Li Yan looked at Serie pitifully, trying to use the pitiful tactic to make Serie give up on using this method.

"This is Heavenly Flame, a melee magic used in Mythical Era to deal with physically powerful Warriors."

Serie narrowed her eyes, stretched her arms, and then, under Li Yan's pitiful gaze, brought them down heavily.

"No way, Grandmaster, you're serious!"

Li Yan's eyes widened as he felt a burning pain in his buttocks, as if a mixture of Tiger Balm and hundreds of thin bamboo strips had been applied. He couldn't help but marvel at the power of magic in the Mythical Era.

"Wind Speed, Arm Strength Enhancement, Rapid Slaps."

Serie gave a soft snort, and her arm began to spin like a windmill. This caused Li Yan, who didn't want to struggle, to start struggling immediately. She felt the windmill whipping her buttocks back and forth, and the burning pain made Li Yan's twelve-year-old body feel an unparalleled sensation.

He wasn't beaten like this when he was twelve years old. Is this some kind of compensation for the pain he didn't experience in his childhood?

"I was wrong, Grandmaster, dear Grandmaster, please stop hitting me."

No matter how much Li Yan struggled, the vines, imbued with various resilience Defensive Magic, could not break free, and the Sealing Magic forcefully suppressed Li Yan's body.

"Am I wrong? I can't hear you."

Serie's smile grew even brighter. She had served as the president of the Magic Continent Association for a thousand years without complaint. Although she had taken a break for a while, it had still been a very long time, which was definitely not the lazy life she wanted.

"I was really wrong, Grandmaster, my cutest, most beautiful, and gentlest Grandmaster. I won't do it again next time. Please forgive me."

Feeling the fiery windmill behind her begin to take shape, Li Yan's whining and pleading grew louder and louder. As if she was about to lose control of her voice, Serie immediately used Silencing Barrier to cover the surroundings, preventing the sound from spreading.

"Frieren, my Godfather has been inside for quite a while. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

Fern looked anxiously at the entrance. At the usual interval of several tens of seconds per person, his Godfather had already been inside for several minutes.

"It should... maybe... nothing's wrong."

Frieren blinked, clearly realizing something. There was a high chance that her senior brother had already been discovered. All they could do now was pray for him, hoping he would be lucky enough to survive this ordeal.

Just as Fern was about to push open the door to find her Godfather, the door suddenly opened, and Li Yan, shirtless, said anxiously, "Fern, Junior Sister, run! Grandmaster is about to lose his temper!"

Frieren blinked slightly; her senior brother had a brown Little Bear Moon-Panties tucked into his pocket.
