In an apartment by Hang City's West Lake.
"Just look at what you've done!"
"You're practically like some kind of slut!"
"What are you even saying?!"
Tang Yue held her burning cheeks in both hands, sighing as she scolded herself inwardly for having no self-restraint.
That guy Lin Yu was her student.
Yet today, she and Lin Yu had kissed several times. He had even touched her body more than once.
Still, that was understandable. With her figure, what man wouldn't be tempted after seeing it?
No, no, no, that wasn't the point!
Tang Yue clearly couldn't stop herself from overthinking at a time like this. After all, it was her first time being so intimate with a member of the opposite sex.
And their identities were teacher and student, which made her feel even more guilty.
"Teacher Tang Yue, get some rest early."
Just then, a message from Lin Yu arrived.
Holding her phone, Tang Yue wanted to punch that guy Lin Yu through the screen. She had even considered ignoring him.
"Mm."
But after hesitating for a long time and deleting many threatening messages, she only replied with a single "Mm."
After that, Tang Yue lay in bed, tossing and turning without being able to sleep.
Elsewhere.
Lin Yu had already rushed back to Magic City overnight. When he saw Tang Yue's reply—
He put away his phone.
After returning to the apartment, Lin Yu saw Xin Xia sitting on the sofa.
"Brother Lin Yu, you're back!"
Xin Xia looked at Lin Yu happily and spoke at once.
"Mm, I'm back."
"Xin Xia, wait a moment. I'll take a shower first!"
Lin Yu knew this girl was extremely clever. He had spent so long with Tang Yue earlier.
She might notice something, so it was better to wash up first.
"Okay."
Xin Xia nodded directly as she looked at Lin Yu.
After Lin Yu finished showering, he sat beside Xin Xia.
Resting his head on Xin Xia's lap, Lin Yu slowly told her about what had happened this time.
Naturally, he wasn't foolish enough to tell her certain things involving Tang Yue.
Xin Xia placed a hand on Lin Yu's forehead, using Healing Element light to soothe his mind.
Her eyes were filled with concern as she listened to him describe his battle with the killer Chao He.
But when she heard that Chao He had been suppressed throughout the fight, a smile appeared on Xin Xia's face.
She knew her Brother Lin Yu was far stronger than those people.
Once he finished speaking, Lin Yu stood up.
Under Xin Xia's gaze, he picked her up and carried her into her room.
This was practically routine for the two of them. Ye Xin Xia wasn't embarrassed in the slightest and even wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Yu's neck.
After placing Xin Xia on the bed and tucking her in—
Lin Yu kissed her forehead after she closed her eyes, then left the room.
"Brother Lin Yu, honestly. Do you like kissing that much?"
Xin Xia spoke as she watched Lin Yu's departing back.
The next morning.
Lin Yu opened his eyes and saw that another General-level Spirit Essence had appeared in his spiritual world. A smile spread across his face.
One was worth twenty-five million. It was practically faster than robbing people.
There was still no news from Azure Hunter's Lodge, so Lin Yu once again immersed himself in cultivation.
After all, he still couldn't cast Intermediate Magic. His Fire Department Star Particles could only be controlled up to twenty-nine, leaving him thirty short of casting Intermediate Magic. As for the Wind Element, he was even further away, able to control only nineteen so far.
Controlling Star Particles wasn't something that could be blindly rushed.
Five days later.
"You two are not bad. You've passed the special admission selection!"
"Remember to report to the school on time when the term begins."
Dean Xiao spoke directly to Lin Yu and Ye Xin Xia across from him. One was an Advanced Mage whose Fire Seed had reached Level Four, someone who had fought his way out of Bo City.
The other was a girl who had reached Level Three of the Healing Element's beginner stage. No matter which academy she attended, she would be highly sought after.
Especially Ye Xin Xia, whose Healing Element had reached Level Three of the beginner stage.
As for special admission slots, wasn't it entirely up to Dean Xiao himself?
"Understood, Dean Xiao!"
Lin Yu and Ye Xin Xia nodded directly at Dean Xiao.
"What a pity."
"Such a shame."
Dean Xiao sighed as he watched Lin Yu push Ye Xin Xia away.
"Dean, there are two more students who meet the requirements!"
"Hmm? Hahaha!"
"All the talented youths under heaven shall enter Pearl Institute!"
A smile immediately appeared on Dean Xiao's face.
"Brother Lin Yu, we don't need to buy clothes!"
"I already have enough clothes!"
Ye Xin Xia looked helplessly at Lin Yu as he pushed her into another shopping mall.
"How could that do? We need to pick out some pretty ones!"
"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, a different look every day."
Lin Yu spoke directly to Ye Xin Xia.
When Lin Yu pushed Ye Xin Xia out of the mall again, he saw that she was already holding quite a few bags in her arms.
Just then, Lin Yu's phone began ringing.
"Lin Yu, we found a top-quality Fire Spirit Seed!"
After answering the call, Lin Yu received this piece of good news.
"Let's go, Xin Xia."
"Let's take a look at my Fire Spirit Seed!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he pushed Ye Xin Xia toward Azure Hunter's Lodge.
Inside Azure Hunter's Lodge.
Lin Yu and Ye Xin Xia curiously examined the fire seed inside a Magic Device.
"Azure Profound Earth Flame!"
"A flame nurtured underground for a very long time!"
"It provides a threefold magic enhancement and has a continuous explosive effect!"
"And most importantly, this thing has an incredibly gentle temperament!"
Ling Ling introduced this Fire Department Spirit Seed to Lin Yu.
This already counted as a top-tier Fire Department Spirit Seed.
They had gathered a great deal of intelligence before finally obtaining it.
"As for the price, you know the deal. Intelligence fees, acquisition fees, and protection fees for your little sister come to a total of thirty-six million!"
"Fine, swipe it."
Eager to absorb the Spirit Seed, Lin Yu didn't waste words with them and handed his card directly to Ling Ling.
Then he picked up the fire seed and headed for the quiet room Old Man Bao had prepared for him.
Inside the quiet room, Lin Yu looked at the Ground Flame emitting a faint azure glow, his eyes filled with delight.
He then reached directly toward the azure Ground Flame and began absorbing it.
Just as Ling Ling had said, the Azure Profound Earth Flame truly showed little resistance. It obediently entered Lin Yu's nebula.
It caused Lin Yu's nebula to emit an azure radiance.
Though it was a flame, its color was filled with vitality, making Lin Yu sigh inwardly.
"Very good. My Fire Department magic now has a full three times the power!"
"Servant-level Demons can be killed with a casual wave of my hand!"
"Level Five Fire Seed will be even more ridiculously powerful!"
"That Chao He from before? One Fire Seed would have been enough to force him to use all his Defensive Magic Gear just to block it."
Lin Yu humiliated Chao He again in his heart, and the thought delighted him.
"Pearl Institute? Here I come!"
Lin Yu thought to himself. That was where the greater stage awaited him!
He then walked directly out of the quiet room.
