Within Yulan Magic Academy.

"Have you heard? Sophie and Jessica threw themselves into a man's arms."

"Really? Aren't they usually cold toward men?"

"Of course it's true. A buddy of mine saw it with his own eyes."

"Ah, my twin goddesses! Who is that man? I want to duel him."

Olivier's appearance caused a huge uproar at Yulan Magic Academy. Many people saw the academy's two goddesses throw themselves into a man's embrace, wearing such blissful expressions.

When the Sophie sisters had first arrived at Yulan Magic Academy, aside from cultivation and classes, they spent their time in the library. Even when they interacted with others, it was usually with academy teachers. They normally kept a low profile.

Yet even so.

The sisters' peerless beauty attracted the pursuit of many noble youths.

They waited in the library and blocked the dormitory entrances, hoping to win the sisters' hearts.

After so many noble youths failed in their pursuits.

Some began harboring evil intentions. These nobles, whose families had been passed down through generations in the Yulan Empire, wielded immense influence in the Imperial Capital. To them, using improper means to obtain women had always been perfectly ordinary.

Moreover, the sisters were only fourth-rank magi, making them easy to control. The first to lose patience was Max, a direct descendant of a ducal family. That ducal family was extremely influential and still had a living Saint-level ancestor.

"Bring Sophie and Jessica out without making a sound," Max ordered.

He sent out a ninth-rank warrior, intending to secretly abduct the sisters from Yulan Magic Academy.

A ninth-rank warrior had not been necessary to deal with fourth-rank magi. Max had sent one only to ensure that no one noticed and to prevent anyone at the academy from intervening. He believed this would be foolproof.

But was that really the case?

That unfortunate ninth-rank warrior successfully infiltrated Yulan Magic Academy and hid along the route the Sophie sisters took every night, watching them draw closer and closer.

Whoosh!

He struck decisively, just as he was about to succeed.

But then!

Roar! A lion's roar rang out!

The Sophie sisters' pet cat suddenly radiated a terrifying aura and instantly grew enormous, swatting him flat with a single paw.

That night, Sophie and Jessica escaped unharmed, but the people of the Imperial Capital were badly frightened. That roar and terrifying aura made them think a magical beast was attacking the city.

When Olivier left, Simba felt there was no point in following him, so he stayed in the Yulan Imperial Capital with Nana and Sally.

After thinking it over, Olivier agreed.

He was leaving this time to break through to the divine level, and he would not need Simba anyway, so he let him do as he pleased.

"Simba, Sophie and Jessica are still weak. While I'm gone, have Nana or Sally protect them at all times. If anything happens, I'll hold you accountable!"

Before leaving, Olivier.

Thus, either Nana or Sally would always remain by Sophie and Jessica's side.

At that time, Nana had been protecting the Sophie sisters.

"If anyone harbors improper intentions toward Sophie and Jessica, kill them without mercy," Olivier had also ordered.

So Nana, the Saint-level Snow Lion, killed the man with one slap.

The intruder was smashed into a pulp, utterly unrecognizable.

Very few clues were left behind, but after an investigation, although there was insufficient evidence.

It was basically certain that the man had been sent by Max.

Yulan Academy took this incident very seriously, not only because of the Saint-level Snow Lion, but also because of pressure from the High Priest's two Saint-level disciples.

"The High Priest has spoken. No one may harm them." To ensure the Sophie sisters' safety within the academy, two Saint-level Arch Magi personally came forward to issue a warning.

Since there was no evidence, the kidnapping incident was not pursued too deeply in the end.

After that, no one dared target them in secret again. The nobles of the Yulan Imperial Capital guessed that their identities must be extraordinarily distinguished. Some even speculated that they were the High Priest's daughters.

Because!

Despite being so weak, they had a Saint-level magical beast protecting them at all times and Saint-level Arch Magi as masters. If someone could pursue either of the two successfully, it would be an immense blessing and allow him to soar through the ranks.

Therefore, the Yulan Empire's esteemed princes, the young masters of Duke Mansions, and descendants of Saint-level experts all flocked to the academy, trying every possible method to get close to Sophie and Jessica.

They wanted both beauty and power.

But the Sophie sisters never paid any attention to them.

"My sister and I already have someone we like," they always replied gently.

But!

Even though the sisters already belonged to someone, it could not dampen their enthusiasm.

Now, a man had appeared, one who made the sisters throw themselves into his arms. Naturally, it caused an enormous stir.

Even.

Very quickly, the news spread throughout the Imperial Capital, but the main figure in the affair was already eating delicious food in Sophie and Jessica's dormitory.

In Sophie and Jessica's dormitory, Olivier saw Simba, Nana, and Sally: two Snow Lions and one Snow Leopard. Ever since that incident, no one had dared harm Sophie and Jessica within the academy again. Thus, they generally did not follow them around and instead stayed in the dormitory.

"Come, let me get a good look at you. I've missed you all so much."

They spoke of their longing and the joy of reunion.

"We missed you too. By the way, Master, have you become a god?" Sophie asked.

Olivier nodded, admitting that he had become a god.

It was called a dormitory, but it was actually a villa. After Sophie and Jessica's identities had been exposed, the academy had specially given it to them.

"Ah, I, Simba, truly am wise and mighty! I knew long ago that Master would definitely become a god! Hahaha!"

Simba shamelessly declared.

Olivier becoming a god naturally made him extremely happy. If he had previously submitted out of necessity, now he was proud to have a god as his master.

"Congratulations, my lord."

Sophie, Jessica, Nana, and Sally took a long while to recover from the news before offering their congratulations.

This was a living, breathing legend before them.

"Haha, don't be jealous. Everyone will become gods someday."

Olivier said happily as well.

"I haven't eaten food you made in so long. I've missed it so much."

The three people and three magical beasts ate and chatted. Olivier mainly cultivated and did not have much to talk about. Most of the conversation was about the Sophie sisters' magic studies and academy life, and naturally they also mentioned the harassment from many noble youths.

Suddenly!

"Sophie, Jessica, I heard your man is here."

Before she was seen, her voice came first as a young woman called from outside.

"My lord, it's Wendy."

Wendy was a princess of the Yulan Empire and one of their only two friends. Sophie and Jessica had mentioned her to Olivier earlier.

Princess Wendy was very straightforward and enthusiastic, and she spoke bluntly as well. The Sophie sisters had told her about Olivier.

A youthful, beautiful woman pushed open the door and entered. She was dressed magnificently, and her beauty was no less than that of the Sophie sisters.

The moment she entered, she stared at Olivier, observing him closely enough to make Olivier feel a little embarrassed.

"Princess Wendy, hello. My name is Olivier. I'm Sophie and Jessica's man."

Olivier said with a smile.

"Mm, you do have a manly charm. No wonder you managed to seduce Sophie and Jessica."

Wendy nodded, feeling that she had seen through Olivier.

I'm a mighty divine-level expert. Do I even need to seduce anyone? Olivier thought. What an interesting princess.

Princess Wendy had been bored in the imperial palace. Upon hearing news of her friends, she immediately hurried over to meet this legendary figure.

Wendy pulled the Sophie sisters aside to whisper private matters, occasionally glancing at Olivier.

Meanwhile, Olivier ate, occasionally interjecting with a comment.

The three women chatted happily.

Olivier was left out instead.
