Catalina: I've Finally Made It Through!

At this moment, Macao walked over and said.

As he spoke, he handed the notification letter to Makarov.

Makarov paused for a moment after receiving it, then couldn't help but read it aloud.

"Grand Magic Fighting Tournament?"

"?"

Ling Yuan, who was chatting and laughing with everyone, paused for a moment after hearing the words "Grand Magic Fighting Tournament".

"What, is there an event?"

Natsu, with his sharp ears, immediately ran over.

He looked at the words on the notice and started reading them aloud.

"To promote exchanges among guilds within the Fiore Kingdom, Grand Magic Fighting Tournament will be held, and all legitimate guilds are welcome to participate."

"What kind of event is this?"

"It's just a competition where we spar with other guilds and use the results to determine our rankings." Makarov casually placed the document on the bar.

"Let's participate."

"First generation?"

"The children can't wait," Mavis said with a smile.

Ling Yuan picked up the document on the bar and looked at its contents.

'You're really in a hurry.'

The announcement of the Grand Magic Fighting Tournament on the same day as the Tenrou Island incident makes it impossible to deny that this was a conspiracy.

However, this is understandable. Having been beaten so badly, he naturally wants to have more ways to protect himself.

"..."

When the party ended at eight o'clock in the evening, Ling Yuan began to say goodbye to everyone.

"Mr. Ling Yuan, here is the wine you ordered." Mirajane came out carrying several barrels of wine.

"These are all treasured possessions."

"Thanks, Mira."

"Welcome to come again next time!" Mira said with a smile.

"Zeref, you need to work hard to earn money to support the family," Ling Yuan said to Zeref.

"And about August, you two have been keeping the child out in the sun for so long, it's time to go and acknowledge him."

Mavis and Zeref exchanged a glance. "We're planning to head back to the Western Continent tomorrow."

"I don't know if this child will accept me," Mavis said worriedly.

"As far as I know, August has been eager to find you, so we can't let the fact that you're too old deter us."

"That's absolutely impossible! How could a mother possibly dislike her own child?" Mavis pouted.

He smiled and patted Mavis's head.

"They're gone."

Space passage opened

Ling Yuan and Xiao Shi waved to the group and went inside.

"They're gone."

Looking at the closed spatial passage, Mira sadly lowered her waving hand.

Laxus crossed his arms and glanced at Mira.

Ling Yuan's family

As the space passage opened

Ling Yuan pounced onto his bed.

"I'm going home. I'm going home."

"Xiao Shi, where are you going?"

Ling Yuan looked at Xiao Shi, who was opening the door and preparing to leave, and asked blankly.

"Go to sleep," Xiao Shi said.

"It's getting late, and footsteps will disturb them. You can sleep here tonight."

Xiao Shi nodded thoughtfully.

"Then I'll go take a shower first."

Ling Yuan: "Take me with you."

"..."

The next day

Dawn

Ling Yuan felt a bit cold.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself completely naked, with all the blankets wrapped around my neck by Xiao Shi...

He paused for a moment

Ling Yuan grabbed the blanket from Xiao Shi's hand.

One pull!

Immediately, the blanket in Xiao Shi's arms was pulled out and covered Ling Yuan.

Just as Ling Yuan was feeling warmth again

The next second

Bang!

He fell straight to the ground.

On the bed, Xiao Shi, who was fast asleep, unconsciously pulled her feet back and continued to hug the quilt, starting to drift off to sleep.

Ling Yuan, slowly getting up from the ground. "..."

"Never mind, go wash up."

With a sigh, Ling Yuan strolled leisurely toward the bathroom.

Just went downstairs

That's when I ran into Ranran was sitting on the sofa watching videos.

"Brother Ling Yuan? When did you get back?"

"Last night."

"Quick, let me lie down for a bit."

And so, Ling Yuan naturally rested his head on Ranran's lap.

"Brother Ling Yuan, you look so tired. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I not only didn't sleep well at night, I also didn't sleep well in the morning."

Xia Ranran: "???"

"By the way, Brother Ling Yuan, where's Xiao Shi? Now that you're back, why is no one in her room?"

"She's a pharaoh inside the pyramid," Ling Yuan mumbled, his eyes still closed.

Chapter 418 Katarina: We've finally made it through!

"Hmm!"

As the afternoon approached, Xiao Shi was fast asleep, stretched on the bed.

I opened my eyes and glanced around. Apart from the curtains swaying gently in the breeze, the room was unusually quiet.

"Why am I sleeping in Ling Yuan's room?"

I just woke up, and my head is still a little dizzy.

Her jade-like feet landed on the cold floor, and Xiao Shi slowly walked towards the door.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?"

She glanced around and realized there was no one else in the house besides her.

At the same time

Modu University

"Here, take this." Ling Yuan handed a crystal to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming looked at the God-Slaying Magic Crystal in front of him and said calmly, "Ling Yuan, although I have good teeth, I don't eat glass."

"It can help you break through to the Sixth Order."

"I have a bit of a fetish for strange objects, and I just like this kind of thing."

Wang Ming took the crystal from Ling Yuan's hand with a grin.

As he spoke, he put the God-Slaying Magic Crystal in his mouth and smacked it.

Ling Yuan: "..."

"This is a fusion material, not something you take orally."

Wang Ming, who had just started to feel a bit of a strain on his teeth, was stunned.

He then quietly took the crystal out of his mouth.

"Actually, I just wanted to test the quality. You see, I'm bound to get all sorts of injuries in a battle. What if someone accidentally punches me and this crystal isn't hard enough, and it breaks inside my body? That would be terrible."

"You don't need to explain, it's not like I'm the one using it." Ling Yuan reached out to stop him.

"Oh."

After handing the God-Slaying Crystal over to Wang Ming, his mission was considered complete.

Ling Yuan: "@All members, come out here, it's time for some perks."

Katarina: "Benefits? What benefits?"

Ding! Group Owner Ling Yuan sent a group Red Packet.

Katarina, who was farming, quickly clicked.

When asked why she replied so quickly,

Who wouldn't have someone they care about?

Open the Red Packet

A streak of dark light flew into her chest.

Katarina froze, then collapsed to the ground.

"Katarina?! Katarina, what's wrong with you?!"

"Sister, sister, are you alright?"

Prince Gildarts and Gajeel, who were helping Katarina plant vegetables, rushed over.

Katarina's mind entered a magical state at that moment.

The next second

A gentle breeze began to move around.

Immediately afterwards, all the winds seemed to be guided and began to fly in.

Bang!
