Vessel Resonance, Ruiguang Residential Area

Mo Fan rolled up his sleeves and struck a pose like he was ready to throw down.

"Brother, I'm fine." Ye Xin Xia shook her head slightly. "Brother Qin Yuan already handled it."

"Oh, I see..."

"Damn it, Qin Yuan, why are you staring at my chest?"

Seeing Qin Yuan staring at his chest, Mo Fan jumped in fright and said nervously, "I'm a normal man, a completely straight man. I'm not into that."

"How about this? I've got a scheming classmate who's pretty cute. She'd suit you perfectly. Want me to set you up?"

"Get lost. Don't ruin my reputation." Qin Yuan shot Mo Fan a glare, then continued, "Haven't you noticed that your chest is glowing green?"

As soon as he said that—

Mo Fan hurriedly looked down and found that, just as Qin Yuan had said, his chest was giving off a green glow that was growing increasingly intense.

"Fuck!"

Mo Fan quickly pulled the 'Little Loach' from his clothes and looked it over carefully.

The previously inconspicuous, battered 'Little Loach' now had the smooth appearance of a jade pendant, and its rich green light seemed to be guiding something.

"Brother, where did you get that jade pendant? I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before."

Ye Xin Xia asked in confusion.

"Ahem... an old man who was really easy to talk to on the school's Back Mountain gave it to me. He said it was a priceless treasure that could make me rich and ward off evil." Mo Fan answered.

"This thing looks a little familiar. Can I take a look?"

Qin Yuan suddenly said.

"Huh, you know it?"

Mo Fan's eyes lit up. Without any guard, he handed the 'Little Loach' to Qin Yuan. "Hurry up and take a look. Why the hell is this thing constantly flashing green? Don't tell me I'm getting cuckolded?"

Qin Yuan looked at the Azure Dragon Vessel in his hand and fell into thought.

He raised his left arm. As expected, the White Tiger Bracelet around his wrist was also glowing, though its light was white and therefore less noticeable.

"Hey, Qin Yuan, your bracelet is glowing too."

Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Xin Xia looked over as well and discovered that the light from Mo Fan's Little Loach and Qin Yuan's bracelet seemed to be echoing one another.

Buzz!

Buzz!

With two hums, the rust on Little Loach's surface turned to powder, revealing its original appearance: an emerald-green jade pendant shaped like an Azure Dragon.

The White Tiger Bracelet's changes were less obvious. Its black-and-white patterns became clearer, while its silver body gained a more refined texture.

"It's already Spirit-level?"

Qin Yuan muttered.

The Azure Dragon Vessel was still at the mundane level.

But his White Tiger Bracelet had already reached Spirit-level. After devouring Demon Spirit Essence last night, coupled with the Sacred Totem resonance just now, it had broken through in one go.

What an unexpected bonus. Qin Yuan was secretly pleased. With a magic artifact that has Spirit-level effects assisting my cultivation, I should be able to cast Beginner Ice Vine within eight months.

In the original story, Mu Ning Xue had taken eight months to cast magic with the aid of a Spirit-level Magic Artifact.

There was no reason for him to be much slower, especially with the Check-in System backing him up.

Qin Yuan gathered his thoughts and returned the Azure Dragon Vessel to Mo Fan.

He already had the White Tiger Vessel, so there was no need for another Azure Dragon Vessel. Besides, this thing had probably already formed a bond with Mo Fan.

"Qin Yuan, what exactly is going on?"

Mo Fan hung Little Loach back around his neck and couldn't help asking.

"Search for Stardust Magic Artifact online and you'll understand."

"The only difference is that both my bracelet and your jade pendant are Growth Demonic Artifacts. They can devour special energy to improve their quality."

Qin Yuan said.

"Growth Demonic Artifact?" Mo Fan cried out. Though he had no idea what that meant, it sounded incredibly high-end.

"Hehe, old man Ying didn't lie to me."

"Little Loach, you really are a treasure!"

Mo Fan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Yuan paid no attention to Mo Fan's excitement. Instead, he pushed Ye Xin Xia forward and said with a smile, "Come on, Xin Xia. I'll take you home."

"Mm."

Ye Xin Xia smiled sweetly.

Only after the two had gone some distance did Mo Fan come back to his senses.

"Damn it, wait for me!" Mo Fan hurried after them.

On the way.

"Brother Qin Yuan, are you going to live in Ruiguang Residential Area too?" Ye Xin Xia asked in surprise, her little mouth slightly open.

"Mm. I'm planning to attend Magic High School in Bocheng, so I'll be living here for quite a long time."

Qin Yuan said.

"So that's how it is!"

Ye Xin Xia suddenly understood.

She had been wondering why Qin Yuan had appeared nearby. Now, everything made sense.

However, what Ye Xin Xia cared about even more was that Qin Yuan also lived in Ruiguang Residential Area.

Didn't that mean she would be able to see Qin Yuan every day?

Mm, how wonderful!

While Ye Xin Xia was delighted inside, Mo Fan was more curious about Qin Yuan's mention of attending Magic High School. There was only one magic high school in Bocheng, Tianlan Magic High School.

So Qin Yuan was going to become his classmate?

"Qin Yuan, what element did you awaken?" Mo Fan asked.

Ye Xin Xia realized it as well and turned to look at Qin Yuan curiously.

"The Ice Element."

Qin Yuan chuckled and did not hide it.

"Brother Qin Yuan is amazing. Just like Ning Xue, you're both Ice Element." Ye Xin Xia's eyes sparkled as she sincerely admired Qin Yuan.

"Xin Xia will be even more amazing in the future."

Qin Yuan smiled faintly.

He was not joking. The future Ye Xin Xia really would be incredible.

The Future Goddess, master of Resurrection Divine Art, with a whole group of Forbidden Mages under her command... in terms of status and position, there were truly few in the Magic World who could compare to her.

"Brother Qin Yuan, you're teasing me. How could Xin Xia be that amazing?" Ye Xin Xia murmured, her pretty face turning slightly red.

"I'm not teasing." Qin Yuan shook his head with a smile and joked, "When Xin Xia makes it big in the future, don't forget about me. I'm still waiting to live off you."

"Mm..."

Ye Xin Xia's face flushed crimson as she responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"..."

Mo Fan was speechless.

Silly little sister, Qin Yuan had you completely dizzy with just a few words.

Still, Qin Yuan really did have some skill. The Mu Family Little Princess was like that, and so was his little sister.

Qin Yuan really was popular with girls.

Mo Fan grumbled inwardly and stopped paying attention.

Perhaps because Qin Yuan had entered their lives, Mo Fan and Ye Xin Xia were merely ordinary siblings, and their relationship was not as close as in the original story.

That made sense. After Ye Xin Xia came to the Mo family, Aunt Mo Qing had taken care of her most of the time, so she should have been closer to Mo Qing.

As the three chatted, they arrived at Ruiguang Residential Area.

Mo Fan had already gone home.

Qin Yuan would take Ye Xin Xia to her door from here.

Ye Xin Xia lived in Building 3, Room 602, while Qin Yuan lived in Building 2, Room 602. The two buildings faced each other.

Moreover, since they lived on the same floor, Qin Yuan and Ye Xin Xia could see each other from their balconies.

A coincidence once was one thing, but coincidence after coincidence...

Qin Yuan was already getting used to it.

After safely delivering Ye Xin Xia to Mo Qing, he returned to Building 2, Room 602, entered the apartment, and began cleaning.

Two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a balcony, and a kitchen.

He had thought it would be a studio apartment, but it turned out to be a small suite. Not bad at all.

As for the rent, Qin Yuan never even had the chance to pay it, because Qin Yuer had already paid the rent for the next three years in advance.

What could Qin Yuan even say to that?

Sister Yuer was the best!
