Thinking of Marriage All Over Again! Has the Water Element Spirit Seed Arrived?

"What secret?"

Mu Nu Jiao looked at Lin Yu across from her with a curious expression.

"It's like I've seen you in a dream before."

Lin Yu leaned in, a smile on his face as he gazed at Mu Nu Jiao's stunning features.

"What are you talking about!"

Mu Nu Jiao's face instantly flushed red.

She clearly hadn't expected Lin Yu to say something like that.

It was just too embarrassing—they'd only met a few times.

How could he have dreamed of her?

"Hahaha."

"I never thought the famously aloof campus belle Mu would actually blush."

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey."

"Can't compare to the big demon Lin Yu, who's such a contrast in private."

"Really knows how to charm a girl."

Mu Nu Jiao shot back without backing down.

But she regretted it almost immediately.

Because no matter how she looked at it, the situation was getting really awkward!

"Ahem, alright, alright."

"I'll be going now."

Lin Yu shook his head with a chuckle and left the room directly.

Watching Lin Yu's retreating figure, a flicker of something unusual stirred in Mu Nu Jiao's eyes.

If her initial curiosity had been piqued back when she bought Lin Yu's Spirit Essence at the market, then after their fight on the Duel Platform—

And now, seeing this private, contrasting side of Lin Yu—

Mu Nu Jiao found herself developing a hint of fondness for him.

Strong, handsome, and good with words.

If her family ever forced her into an arranged marriage in the future, she'd choose someone like Lin Yu.

"Ah, Mu Nu Jiao, what are you even thinking about?"

"Why did my mind jump to arranged marriage?"

Mu Nu Jiao patted her flushed cheeks and scolded herself.

That evening, The four of them, who had just moved into the villa, sat down for a meal together.

After all, they'd be living under the same roof for a while.

Getting to know each other was important.

"Delicious, delicious!"

"Lin Yu, you're really good at cooking."

At the dinner table, Ai Tu Tu couldn't stop eating.

She showered Lin Yu with praise.

"If you like it, eat more."

Lin Yu smiled at that, not thinking much of it.

Even after he'd broken through as a mage, he still cooked for himself.

He'd been doing it since he was a kid, so he'd long since honed his culinary skills.

"Oh, by the way, when I came back today,"

"I saw Sister Mu's face was a little red. Was that your doing?"

"Tu Tu! Can't you shut your mouth even with food in it?"

Hearing that, Mu Nu Jiao instantly recalled that afternoon—the face she'd seen when Lin Yu leaned in close.

She quickly picked up a piece of spare rib and stuffed it into Ai Tu Tu's mouth.

"See, see! She's blushing again."

After swallowing, Ai Tu Tu kept going.

Lin Yu and Ye Xin Xia exchanged a glance, then continued watching the two of them bicker.

Fortunately, since this was their first meal together, even Ai Tu Tu knew her limits.

After messing around for a bit, she didn't say much more.

The four of them chatted idly, one topic after another.

Since they were all the same age, there was no shortage of things to talk about.

"Oh, right!"

"Lin Yu, I heard from those people on the Main Campus!"

"You're the only student who got into the Three-Step Tower while still at the Green Campus."

"So? How was it?"

"How effective is training in the Three-Step Tower?"

Ai Tu Tu looked at Lin Yu and asked directly.

Whenever the topic of strength came up, it grabbed everyone's attention.

Even Ye Xin Xia and Mu Nu Jiao immediately fixed their eyes on Lin Yu.

"It's alright."

Feeling their gazes, Lin Yu nodded calmly.

"I've basically reached the second level in all of them."

"The progress is really fast..."

"The first time you enter the Three-Step Tower, the training multiplier is the highest, so you should make sure your condition is at its peak!"

Lin Yu told them directly, sharing a few tips.

"Already at the second level?"

"I just broke through to the mid-tier, and I'll barely make it to the Main Campus next semester."

Ai Tu Tu's face showed a hint of dejection.

Clearly, Lin Yu's cultivation had somewhat depressed her.

"That fast!"

Ye Xin Xia looked at him in surprise, obviously not fully understanding what the Three-Step Tower meant.

"Wind Element! Water Element! Fire Element—all at the second level?!"

Mu Nu Jiao thought to herself, not exclaiming out loud.

But the shock in her eyes was no less than that of the other two girls.

It was clear that Lin Yu's cultivation had left them deeply stunned.

"Oh, right!"

"What about your Fire Element? It's at mid-tier second level too, right?"

"Even though Fire Element should be your strongest, you probably haven't broken through to mid-tier third level."

"The gap from mid-tier second to third level is huge."

After sulking for a while, Ai Tu Tu looked at Lin Yu with a glimmer of hope.

If he hadn't broken through to mid-tier third level, then the gap between them wouldn't be that big.

Ye Xin Xia and Mu Nu Jiao also looked at him curiously.

Everyone knew that Lin Yu's strongest element was Fire.

But at that moment, Lin Yu just gave a mysterious smile, saying nothing.

"Aaaah, I don't want to live anymore!"

"During the Freshman Tournament, we were all at the mid-tier!"

Ai Tu Tu flopped onto the table, loudly lamenting the injustice of the world.

"Is the Three-Step Tower really that effective?"

Even Mu Nu Jiao was puzzled now.

From what she knew, the Three-Step Tower was indeed impressive.

But in previous years, no student had ever reached such a level after their first entry into the tower!

Could it be that the school's higher-ups had upgraded the Three-Step Tower again?

"Forget it, forget it—let's not talk about these depressing things."

"Let's eat."

Ai Tu Tu turned her sorrow into appetite and started eating like crazy.

Mu Nu Jiao and the other girl looked at Ai Tu Tu and helplessly nodded.

Forget it—Lin Yu was just a freak.

They couldn't compare anyway, so they might as well just focus on cultivating.

A few days later, Lin Yu, who had been cultivating in his vacation villa, received a call from Ling Ling.

"Your Water Spirit Seed has been found."

"Come to the lodge."

Ling Ling's voice came through from the other end of the phone.

"School's about to start, and I've finally gotten my hands on a Water Element spirit seed too."

"Even though I might not stay at the Intermediate level for long, I can't go without a spirit seed."

A look of delight spread across Lin Yu's face.

But just as he was about to head out, he ran into the three girls returning from a shopping trip.

"Brother Lin Yu, what's this?" Ye Xin Xia asked, looking at him curiously.

Mu Nu Jiao and the other girl also had puzzled expressions.

"Oh, they found my Water Spirit Seed."

"I'm going to check it out."

Lin Yu said cheerfully, looking at them.

"A Water Spirit Seed?"

"Doesn't that mean you'll have spirit seeds for both your Water and Fire Elements?"

"Let's go, we want to see it too!"

Ai Tu Tu said excitedly, staring at Lin Yu.

Mu Nu Jiao and Ye Xin Xia also looked intrigued.

After all, for them, Lin Yu's Water Spirit Seed was something they were curious about.

"Let's go."

Lin Yu didn't refuse. It wasn't a big deal anyway.

After all, when he entered the Main Campus, his spirit seeds would be exposed sooner or later.

So, the four of them headed toward the Azure Hunter's Lodge.

"Should I get a Flying Summoned Beast?"

"I'll apply for a Flight Permit when I do. If that works out, it'll make things a lot easier in the future!"

Lin Yu sat in the taxi, watching the three girls chatting animatedly in the back seat, thinking to himself.
