Mission Released

"Dare."

Qin Yuer: "..."

Qin Yuer's face darkened as she smiled sweetly at Qin Yuan, her expression exceedingly kind.

"Do you dare?"

"Dare!"

"Hm?"

"Hehe, I dare!"

"..."

They fooled around for quite some time.

At last, Qin Yuer let go.

Qin Yuan was also a very stubborn person. No matter what, he refused to back down or admit defeat in this matter.

He had transmigrated, yet he was still supposed to play at pure love? What was he thinking? Wasn't drifting about as a debauched wanderer far more appealing?

Qin Yuer truly had no choice but to let Qin Yuan have his way. "I won't interfere much with the two girls from Bocheng. Handle it yourself."

"I only have one requirement: don't abandon them after leading them on!"

"Hm?"

"Sister Yuer, you've got it wrong. Xin Xia is my friend. I only see her as a younger sister..."

Qin Yuan corrected her.

More like a lover sister.

Qin Yuer did not believe him at all. She had finally seen Qin Yuan for who he was. At first glance, he looked like a respectable gentleman, but deep down, he was still a debauched wanderer.

Looking at the silent Qin Yuan, Qin Yuer sighed helplessly. "Little Yuan, the stronger you become, the greater your ambitions will be."

"I don't ask you to become an indiscriminately meddlesome good person, but you must never become an utterly vile scoundrel!"

"Sister Yuer, I'll keep myself in check," Qin Yuan said with a smile.

"That's good."

Qin Yuer nodded and said nothing more.

She was not afraid that Qin Yuan would have many beauties by his side in the future. She was only afraid that he would be led astray and walk down an evil path, doing things that forced himself upon women.

She neither wished for nor allowed the boy she had raised with her own hands to become the kind of villain despised by the world.

"Let's go. Eat first. I brought you something good this time."

Smiling, Qin Yuer took Qin Yuan by the hand and led him inside.

The two sat close together, clearly intimate.

If those secret admirers who regarded Qin Yuer as a goddess saw this, they would likely spend the entire night unable to sleep, clutching their heads and weeping bitterly.

"This is a storage magic artifact I obtained during the Treasure Hunting Competition at the World Academy Competition. It has one hundred cubic meters of storage space: a Space Ring."

Qin Yuer took a golden ring containing spatial ripples from her clothes and placed it in Qin Yuan's hand.

"And it just so happens to be a matching pair." Qin Yuer showed off the ring on her left hand.

One Space Ring was orange-gold, while the other was silver-white. They shared the same design, their patterns exquisitely textured, with imposing strange beasts carved at the center.

"Sister Yuer."

"Such a precious treasure... I have no way to repay you except with my body."

Qin Yuan laughed heartily.

Before Qin Yuer could refuse, he quickly kissed her soft lips, then pulled away.

"Looking for a beating!"

Though she said so, Qin Yuer was not truly angry. A barely noticeable smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Her stern expression was merely to maintain the dignity of being an "older sister."

She could never bear to hit Qin Yuan.

"You're so handsome. How nice would it be if you were a little more serious? Even pretending would do."

Qin Yuer glared at the grinning Qin Yuan, then changed the subject. "All right, let's talk business first."

Seeing Qin Yuer's serious expression, Qin Yuan stopped fooling around and adopted a solemn posture, listening attentively.

Qin Yuan's rapid change truly startled Qin Yuer.

"What a quick change of face."

Qin Yuer rolled her eyes at Qin Yu and said irritably.

Still, she did not say much more and went straight to the point.

"Little Yuan, you're already sixteen."

"People your age have already entered Magic High School and awakened their mag—"

"Sister Yuer, I've already awakened my magic. It's Ice Element too, and I also have an Innate Spirit Seed," Qin Yuan interrupted.

"An Innate Spirit Seed!"

Qin Yuer looked surprised upon hearing this.

She was not surprised that Qin Yuan had completed his Magic Awakening, since anyone could awaken at the Mage Association as long as they spent money.

What surprised her was the Innate Spirit Seed.

Qin Yuan possessed an Innate Talent. That was a good thing.

After a brief moment of surprise, Qin Yuer composed herself and smiled. "Although you've awakened magic, an outstanding mage should not only possess cultivation. They must also have theoretical knowledge."

With things put this plainly, how could Qin Yuan fail to understand Qin Yuer's meaning?

"I should attend Magic High School, right?"

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

"Mhm, that's what I've arranged for you."

Qin Yuer nodded and continued, "For one thing, I'll be entering seclusion soon to break through to Archmage, so I won't have time to teach you."

"For another, my teaching can never compare to a systematic education. Take theoretical knowledge about demons, for example—I don't know much."

Only after leaving Tianshan and entering an academy to study did Qin Yuer discover her own shortcomings.

Though she was a genius in terms of magical cultivation, when it came to theoretical knowledge, she truly fell short of most people her age.

It was precisely because of that experience that she wanted Qin Yuan to attend Magic High School and build a solid foundation in theory.

A towering building rose from level ground.

Although magical cultivation only required cultivation resources, one could not have only cultivation resources without theoretical understanding.

An outstanding Genius Mage needed not only powerful cultivation, but also solid magical theoretical knowledge.

Otherwise, he would merely be a brute with well-developed limbs.

"Sister Yuer, why not say we're of one mind?"

"I happened to have the same idea."

Qin Yuan replied with a soft laugh.

His way of thinking was ultimately that of an adult, so he considered matters more thoroughly—especially when it concerned his future prospects. He could not afford to be careless.

The fist was power. That saying was not wrong.

But the premise was violence with a brain.

One might lack the strategic mind to plan within a tent and secure victory a thousand miles away, but one still needed the most basic ability to think and judge.

"You certainly know how to talk."

Qin Yuer rolled her eyes at Qin Yuan, but the smile at the corner of her mouth never faded.

Clearly, Qin Yuan's words had pleased her greatly.

"Hehe."

Qin Yuan chuckled and did not deny it.

He leaned his whole body against Qin Yuer, breathing in her maidenly fragrance. He looked lazy and exceptionally attached to her.

"You're already sixteen, yet you still act like a child."

Qin Yuer helplessly tapped Qin Yuan's forehead, but she did not push him away.

Qin Yuan depended on her.

And wasn't she the same?

"Have you decided which Magic High School you want to attend?" Qin Yuer asked.

"Not yet."

"But since Sister Yuer asked me that, you must have already decided for me, right?"

Qin Yuan said with a hearty laugh.

Qin Yuer did not deny it. She nodded and said, "Yes. It's Tianlan Magic High School in Bocheng, the place you like visiting most."

"One of my National Government Team teammates happens to be in Bocheng. He owes me a favor, so if you go there, I can ask him to look after you. Then I won't have to worry about you being bullied."

"Well? Are you happy?"

[Ding, Check-in Mission released. Location: Bocheng. Time limit: three days. Reward: unknown.]

The system's voice rang out at just that moment.

Qin Yuan was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered.

"Hehe, of course I'm happy." Qin Yuan chuckled, then changed the subject and asked, "Sister Yuer, who is your National Government Team teammate in Bocheng?"

He had a suspicion, but he could not be certain.
