Sitting on Her Lap

On the Mana chariot, Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue looked on with admiration. This was the young master's moment of glory, revered by the villagers as a hero.

The Little Fool stared blankly at the villagers' happy and excited expressions, and the young master was looked upon with reverence by the villagers, all of which filled her heart with joy.

"Brother adventurer, here's some flowers."

The little girl handed a bouquet of flowers to Li Yan. Looking at the mud on the little girl's trouser legs and hands, Li Yan already understood the origin of the flowers.

"Thank you."

Li Yan bent down and took the flowers from the little girl. The fresh fragrance of the flowers, though slightly earthy, was a natural scent that seemed even more fragrant than the flowers in the flower shop.

After exchanging pleasantries with the villagers and carrying a series of local specialties they had given him, Li Yan didn't linger any longer. He waved goodbye to the villagers, and as the Mana chariot started up, all the villagers spontaneously waved goodbye to Li Yan.

On the Mana chariot, Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing Li Yan sitting on the small sofa, the two maids obediently went over. One fed Li Yan fruit, and the other massaged Li Yan's body.

"Young master, you were so handsome just now."

The masseuse couldn't help but exclaim in praise, a silly smile on her face. Xiao Wu ample bosom pressed against Li Yan's back, her white-stockinged legs lightly resting on the small sofa as she gently massaged Li Yan at close range.

"Yes, young master, you were so handsome just now! The villagers are very grateful to you."

Xiao Xue gently reached out her delicate hand, picked up a peeled grape, and brought it close to Li Yan's lips.

Li Yan slightly opened his mouth and ate the fresh grape. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue's praise made him feel very good. The grape was sweet and fragrant, and it was soft and smooth in his mouth. The taste was very good. The local specialty grapes in the village were very pure and natural.

Enjoying the lifestyle befitting an aristocrat, Li Yan began reading books related to Space Magic, but the grateful expressions of the villagers involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Their rescue was just a stroke of luck. If the Monsters attacked again, their village would be left without anyone to protect it. Li Yan also asked the village chief why they didn't move to another place. The village chief's words made Li Yan sigh.

"This is the place where I was born, raised, and grew up. My ancestors have never left this place."

After a three-day journey, Li Yan arrived in the Royal Capital without incident. The Royal Capital already in a frenzy of magicians, with magicians dressed in magician robes filling the streets. They were all heading towards a majestic and imposing building.

After storing the Mana chariot in her storage Alternate Space, Li Yan led her maids toward the magnificent building.

"Hey, what level of mage are you? How much Mana do you have?"

"I only started learning magic this year. It's said that magic is the sorcery of Demons, but in my opinion, it's progress for us humans."

"I honestly think the warrior class, with its gorilla-like appearance, is too barbaric. It's much better to become a mage."

The lively environment Li Yan slightly shocked. When had he ever seen so many magicians? He suddenly remembered what his Godmother Flamme, had said: this was a historic development, a torrent of magic was about to arrive, and the entire human world would become a better place because of magic.

Stepping into the magnificent building, Li Yan was immediately captivated by the sight before her: the exquisite celadon porcelain, the polite conversation between the magician and the receptionist—every aspect was exactly the style she had described to her Godmother.

Once, her Godmother Flamme, had discussed various aspects of establishing the Magic Continent Association with her. At that time, Li Yan directly stated the standards of a five-star hotel, emphasizing that magic would inevitably be associated with the word "high-end." Furthermore, the staff of the Magic Continent Association would need to be courteous, professional, and excellent in all aspects, capable of welcoming magicians with the best service attitude.

"Excuse me, are you a mage here to join the Magic Continent Association?"

A waitress dressed in a red cheongsam and black stockings politely inquired.

Looking at the other person's outfit, Li Yan couldn't help but swallow hard. Goodness, her Godmother really used all her suggestions. Black stockings, cheongsam, a mix of elements that attracted attention.

"Ahem, I'm here to see someone. I'm Li Yan, the eldest son of Lionheart Earl, and an apprentice of your guild master, Flamme."

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the service staff member showed a hint of surprise. Looking at the elegantly dressed Li Yan, she, having received training, naturally knew how to handle such situations.

Unfamiliar distinguished guests should naturally be handled by one's superior.

"Okay, Mr. Li Yan, please wait a moment while I go find the supervisor to verify your identity."

The waiter jogged away, and a short while later, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over with a serious expression. After exchanging glances with Li Yan, he nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Li Yan, I'll take you to see the chairman."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow and followed the man in the suit. After walking up several flights of Li Yan, they finally arrived at the top floor of the Magic Continent Association. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue were invited to the waiting room, while Li Yan followed the man in the suit to a grand office.

As the man in the suit knocked on the office door, a familiar voice reached Li Yan's ears.

"Please come in."

As Li Yan entered the office, Flamme, who was sitting at her desk reading documents, involuntarily looked up. Upon seeing Li Yan's arrival, a look of surprise appeared on her face. But when she saw the man in the suit next to Li Yan, her expression slowly returned to calm.

"President, this man claims to be your disciple, and I noticed he's dressed very elegantly..."

Before the man in the suit could finish speaking, Flamme nodded slightly. "A Yan, what brings you here to see your Godmother? Come and sit down."

The man in the suit was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that the gentleman beside him was indeed the chairman's apprentice, and also the chairman's godson.

"Godmother, I have something to tell you. On the way back, I encountered a Demons."

Li Yan strode forward, and the man in the suit, clearly aware that it was inappropriate for him to be present, quickly left the office and closed the door behind him.

"Hmm, what Demons?"

Flamme rested her chin on her hand and asked curiously.

"It's Uldys of the Seven Sages of Destruction. He said he received orders from the Demon King to assassinate you, my Godmother."

Li Yan spoke earnestly, recounting the events of that time to Flamme word by word.

"Fog magic? It can't detect the enemy's location. A Yan, it's your Godmother's fault for not teaching you properly."

Flamme had clearly misunderstood the point, his face showing a hint of frustration at not having taught Li Yan how to better master detection magic.

"No, Godmother, the other party is Uldis, Seven Sages of Destruction of the Demons Clan. He came to assassinate you on the orders of the Demon King."

Li Yan repeated it again with a helpless expression.

"Isn't my precious A Yan here? I won't be afraid if they come again."

Flamme pulled Li Yan onto her lap, a joyful expression on her face. She was very happy that Li Yan always cared about her.

"There's no chair, A Yan, you'll have to make do and sit on your Godmother's lap."
