Your Love Consultant

Ethan's career was undergoing a severe test.

As a legendary bachelor who had been single since the day he was born until today, the first client to request a personalized service was actually here for relationship counseling.

Was he qualified?

The white-haired woman took out a bulging money pouch in front of him, untied the red string, and showed him the glittering gold inside.

At least, he could try.

Ethan swallowed and made a difficult decision.

Just because he hadn't eaten pork, didn't he know what it looked like? Regardless, he had lived in an era with highly developed internet. Although he hadn't specifically studied books like "love guides," he had at least flipped through one or two romance novels and his heart had once fluttered at sweet passages in those novels.

"May I ask, guest, have you encountered any problems?"

"It's like this, I used to have a boyfriend. We were very close, lived in the same house, ate from the same pot, and often slept in the same bed."

Oh no!

Ethan's heart tightened.

This girl had a boyfriend, and it sounded like they had lived together for a long time. Compared to him, who couldn't even be considered a beginner, calling her experienced wouldn't be an exaggeration. As for him, let alone living with a girl, he had only seen kissing in movies and animations.

If he blurted out some immature advice, his identity as a novice in love would likely be exposed instantly.

But as a responsible businessman, Ethan couldn't show his nervousness on his face. He could only brace himself and follow up on the girl's words, "Did a problem arise between you and your boyfriend?"

"A few years ago, I left the place where we lived together for reasons beyond my control."

"In other words, you've been in a long-distance relationship all these years."

Ethan propped his chin with his hand, trying his best to use professional terms to make himself appear like a relationship expert.

"Long-distance relationship?"

The red eyes beneath the mask held some confusion.

"It means that even though you are separated by distance, you still maintain a romantic relationship."

This was a big problem. Ethan had long heard of the difficulties of long-distance relationships. In the cases he knew of, over eighty percent ended in disaster. And that was in an era where video calls were possible anytime!

In this world, not seeing each other for years meant communicating only through letters, making the relationship between lovers even more fragile.

This gave Ethan a bad premonition.

Could this girl have ordered a magic scroll from him to "take care of" her boyfriend after their long-distance relationship failed?

The white-haired girl nodded, "Yes, so I'm worried he won't recognize me anymore."

"How could that be? Don't underestimate the power of love. For true lovers, let alone a few years, even after ten or twenty or thirty years, they can still recognize each other at a glance in a crowd!"

This was how romance novels always wrote it, and it had always been Ethan's belief.

He was a firm romantic.

Ethan felt that he had conveyed his belief in love well to the white-haired girl. She seemed touched and looked at him deeply, as if agreeing with his point.

"However, some things have happened recently that have troubled me greatly. I accidentally discovered that my boyfriend is very close to one of his female colleagues. They not only work together, but they also live very close to each other. He often visits her house and cooks for her. They seem to be a couple every day, and they look very happy..."

So cold!

Suddenly so cold!

Even Ethan, an Ice Elemental Shaper, couldn't help but hug himself and shiver a few times. This was a tremor from the depths of his soul. The red pupils beneath the swirling mask seemed to have fallen into eternal night.

This reminded Ethan of a saying.

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill could not be hidden.

Although it was only a brief moment, the terror and coldness touched his heart.

However, the next moment, all the oppressive feeling vanished. Ethan heard laughter from beneath the swirling mask. The laughter was light, like a flowing spring, "But actually, that's just pure friendship between colleagues, right?"

"Of course."

Realizing this might be an order involving a life, Ethan became extremely serious and said, "The more it's like this, the more you need to analyze calmly. For example, have you seen any intimate actions between them that go beyond friendship?"

"No."

"So, don't let temporary anger blind you. Perhaps they are just friends."

"Anger? I'm not angry."

The white-haired girl asked in confusion, "I'm just considering whether or not to tie him up and lock him in a cellar where no one can find him, so that the only person he sees when he opens his eyes is me."

Why are you suddenly telling horror stories!

"Absolutely not! At a time like this, taking drastic action will only be counterproductive."

For some reason, Ethan suddenly felt a strong sense of responsibility. Although this white-haired girl seemed to have had a romantic experience, she was too extreme in handling emotional issues. "Since you've found me, I, Old Sen, am not just for show. I see you've reunited after a long time, why not start from there?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean, we can plan a memorable reunion."

Although Ethan didn't understand love very well, he had some understanding of men's psychology. As the saying goes, the less experience people have in love, the more beautiful fantasies they hold about it, even if those fantasies seem unrealistic.

But this was a world where magic existed.

Making impractical fantasies a reality is the most unique charm of magic.

He entered his work state. "When do you plan to meet him?"

"After I'm done with what I'm working on."

The white-haired girl said after a moment's thought.

"Even better, we still have enough time. I'm not bragging, but the magic scrolls I make have their own unique qualities. They'll definitely leave a deep impression on your boyfriend, the kind that he won't forget for decades!"

Ethan patted his chest and guaranteed it, already having many ideas in mind.

But before that, he had one problem that needed to be solved. "Can you please wear shoes when you go out from now on?"

This was truly unbearable.

He was genuinely worried that before that day came, his client might accidentally step on a nail, get tetanus, and die young.

"I understand."

The white-haired girl suddenly realized. "What kind of shoes do you like?"

"Crystal high heels... Huh? What does that have to do with what kind of shoes I like? I really am just worried about you stepping on nails; it's very dangerous."

First, Ethan had to emphasize that he was not a foot fetishist.

He was truly just very concerned about his client's personal safety. There weren't many good merchants as conscientious as him these days.

"Mm."

The white-haired girl completely ignored his statement and muttered to herself, "Shoe stores in the big city should have them... It's settled then. I'll come find you again."

Seeing the white-haired girl turn to leave, Ethan quickly called out to keep her, "One thing at a time. You've paid so much money, but you haven't said what kind of scroll you want to order."

"Magic scroll?"

The girl's reaction made Ethan seriously doubt if she had even listened to the bartender's advertisement. His place was a magic scroll shop; relationship counseling was just a hastily added service.

"Is there anything you particularly want right now? Anything at all."

"Then, I'll order a bouquet of roses."

"That's simple."

Ethan smiled slightly. This was much easier to make than a three-in-one Ice Arrow. He led her to the Energy-Storing Parchment shop and drew it on the spot in front of her.

Upon delivery, she activated the scroll almost immediately.

It was a bouquet of crystal-clear roses, blooming passionately.

Even through the vortex Mask, Ethan could feel the client's happy mood.

Roses are a symbol of love.

This bouquet of roses must have made her think of her boyfriend, right?

That's why she had such a happy look in her eyes.

Ethan waved at her. The commission was complete, and he should disappear without taking credit.

This was Old Sen's Magic Scroll Shop.

You could even get relationship advice here.
