At those words, Qin Yuan was completely convinced.
He had not even entered the Novice Village yet, and he already had a whole pile of equipment.
Magic tools, magic artifacts, Soulless Vessel... This was simply absurd.
That being said, living off a woman really was great!
Whether it was the Stardust Magic Artifact or Demon Spirit Essence, he could use them to nourish the White Tiger Vessel, allowing it to advance further. It might even reach the spirit grade.
"Sister Yuer, you treat me so well that I don't even want to go to Bocheng anymore."
"How about I go to Modu with you instead?"
Qin Yuan leaned forward with a grin and made the suggestion.
He genuinely had that thought. After all, Modu also had quite a few Magic High Schools.
He could study magic and stay closer to Qin Yuer at the same time. It was the best of both worlds.
"...Stop fooling around."
"I've already contacted Tianlan Magic High School in Bocheng, and I spoke to Captain Zu in advance. I even arranged a place for you to stay."
Qin Yuer naturally wanted to remain with Qin Yuan forever as well.
Unfortunately, everything in Bocheng had already been prepared. The money had been paid, the house had been rented, and the National Government Captain had been informed.
Changing plans at the last minute really would not be appropriate.
"Sigh, what a pity."
"I wanted to sleep with Sister Yuer."
Qin Yuan spoke regretfully.
Qin Yuer: "..."
You were already sixteen. Why were you still acting like a child?
Honestly, there were times when she could not understand Qin Yuan. When seriously discussing matters, he seemed like a mature adult, but in everyday conversation, he was no different from a three-year-old child.
But that being said, this version of Qin Yuan did not make her dislike him at all. Instead, it made her like him even more.
"Is this what nurturing feels like?"
Qin Yuer grumbled inwardly, her pretty face flushing slightly.
Seeing that Qin Yuer had not spoken for a long time, Qin Yuan curiously leaned closer. His red eyes stared straight into her beautiful eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A long while passed.
Qin Yuer did not know what she had thought of, but her face grew increasingly red. Only when it was nearly red enough to bleed did she snap back to her senses, whereupon a handsome face filled her vision.
Ah!
Seeing Qin Yuan so close at hand, she jumped in fright and pouted, "Why are you so close to me?"
Qin Yuan did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Sister Yuer, why is your face so red?"
Qin Yuer: "..."
Qin Yuer did not answer, or rather, she was too embarrassed to answer.
"Sister Yuer, don't tell me you were thinking about us..."
Qin Yuan first looked enlightened, then put on an expression of deep grief. "I never expected this. I really never expected this."
"Sister Yuer, so this is the kind of person you are!"
"I'm only sixteen, yet you were already thinking about sleeping..."
Faced with Qin Yuan's righteous condemnation, Qin Yuer's face instantly darkened.
"Qin! Yuan!"
Qin Yuer smiled as she bit out his name, and her icy tone made Qin Yuan shudder.
"Cough, cough."
Qin Yuan hurriedly coughed twice and said with a chuckle, "Sister Yuer, it was just a joke, just a joke..."
"Hmph!"
Qin Yuer gave a delicate snort and said nothing more.
She had originally intended to let Qin Yuan off, but she had not expected his next words to completely shatter her composure.
"How could Sister Yuer take the initiative in something like that? If anyone were to take the initiative, it should be me."
Qin Yuer flew into a rage, and a Magic Constellation formed in an instant. "Ice Seal Coffin!!!"
"I... Fuck!!!"
With a miserable scream, Qin Yuan nearly died on the spot.
The next morning.
"Check in."
[ Ding. Congratulations, Master, on successfully checking in. You have received 10,000 Huaxia Coin. ]
Qin Yuan: "..."
Today's reward was worlds apart from yesterday's.
Still, it was understandable. Yesterday had been his first check-in, while today was merely an ordinary daily check-in, so it was unlikely to come with generous rewards.
"Forget it. There's plenty of time. Small gains add up, and good things will come eventually."
Having thought that, Qin Yuan walked into the kitchen, expertly prepared the ingredients, and started cooking.
As for Qin Yuer, she was still sleeping in.
Outside, Qin Yuer maintained the image of a perfect goddess. But before Qin Yuan, she never put on an act and simply did whatever felt most comfortable.
Time slowly passed, and it was nearly noon before Qin Yuer finally got up.
"Little Yuan, not bad. You still remembered when your sister gets up." Qin Yuer reached out to test the temperature of the food and smiled. "It's still warm. Just right."
"Of course."
Qin Yuan chuckled softly.
"Mm." Qin Yuer nodded in satisfaction, then served two bowls of rice and set out spoons and chopsticks.
She rested her chin on her jade hand and watched Qin Yuan clean up the stove with a smile. Her beautiful eyes held not only tenderness, but also affection.
A few minutes later, Qin Yuan finished cleaning up.
He sat beside Qin Yuer and smiled. "Sister Yuer, eat."
Qin Yuer nodded slightly and picked up her chopsticks.
The two of them finished the meal quickly.
Once everything had been taken care of, it was time to part.
Neither Qin Yuan nor Qin Yuer wanted to leave the other.
But they understood even more clearly that each of them had their own path in magic. For now, it was impossible for them to remain glued together forever.
Qin Yuer needed to enter seclusion and break through to become an Archmage.
Qin Yuan needed to start from the basics, grow, and rapidly strengthen himself.
"Little Yuan, no matter where you are, be more careful. Always keep your guard up and stay safe. If you don't have enough money, tell your sister."
"Also, remember to contact me in advance when you come to Modu. If you can't reach me, you can go to Room 602, Building 24, Jinyuan Apartment beside Pearl Academy first. That's where I live."
After handing Qin Yuan a key, Qin Yuer used both hands to straighten his collar, like a gentle and virtuous wife.
"Sister Yuer, be careful too."
Qin Yuan nodded. Under Qin Yuer's reluctant gaze, he deeply kissed her lips.
"Mm!"
Qin Yuer wrapped her Jade Hands around his neck and passionately returned the kiss.
The two embraced and kissed for a long time.
Bocheng.
At dusk, dismissal bells had already rung at every school. Students poured out of the campuses in waves, their voices loud and noisy.
The once-deserted streets immediately became lively with the arrival of these energetic, youthful students.
Students could be seen in every snack shop, milk tea shop, internet cafe, and more.
Not far from Inscribed Girls Middle School stood a simple park covered in grass.
At the windward edge of the park was a wooden swing entwined with vines, swaying gently in the breeze.
A quiet young girl sat upon the gently swaying swing. The breeze tousled her hair, revealing a fair, clean, delicate face—long lashes, a petite nose, rosy lips...
She gazed ahead, and her black, lively eyes were filled with deep concern.
"Yun'er, maybe we should forget it."
"No, Xin Xia. Those people have gone too far. Last time, they only ran their mouths. This time, they actually took your wheelchair."
The sweet girl with a bob haircut looked furious.
She had brought Ye Xin Xia to the newly renovated park to have some fun, but while they were on the swings, a group of thugs had taken Ye Xin Xia's wheelchair.
Calling it theft did not seem entirely accurate.
It should have been called robbery!
