Chapter 41

But their ways of thinking and their mental capacities differed far too greatly.

"Yes, his magic was already enough to change the entire world's magical system, and he had achieved this great feat in less than a month."

Riveria spoke up as well.

Over this period, Riveria had also learned quite a few of Ming Ge's secrets, which only made her marvel even more.

Whether he had an entire magic team behind him or had practiced magic since childhood, both would have been understandable.

But just one month after performing the ritual on himself, he had created a complete framework for the magical world.

Without question, all the people of the Lower World would benefit from it in the future.

"As your husband, he is qualified enough."

Alfia acknowledged Ming Ge.

Though in Meitellia's eyes, Alfia's words seemed more like an attempt to conceal certain thoughts of her own.

But even Alfia herself did not wish to accept those thoughts. She kept deceiving herself, and no one knew how things would develop in the future.

Meitellia did not feel dissatisfied about this. She even wanted to help Alfia.

Unfortunately, she was only the younger sister and could not help her strong-willed elder sister.

Even so, anticipation had already risen in her heart.

"There is no such thing as being qualified or not."

Meitellia shook her head. "Whether he is strong or not, whether he has talent or not, even whether he is handsome or ugly, none of that matters."

"To me, those are merely values attached to him. At most, they are like my sister's Sound of Silence."

Was magic nullification important?

It was important, but compared to Alfia's own value, it was nothing.

The Divine Blessing could often inspire acquired magic far exceeding the value of its owner, but Alfia was not included among such cases.

Even if her magic slots were cleared and inspired anew, Alfia would still possess powerful magic without even needing the Indeterminate Grimoire.

Meitellia's love for Ming Ge was the same.

She had fallen in love with him first, only discovering his talents afterward.

If she valued his talents more than Ming Ge himself, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Meitellia saw this clearly and did not wish for vanity to taint her original intentions.

"He said he wanted to help me and resolve my negative skill."

Meitellia held Ming Ge's hand and softly said, "I was deeply moved, but it had nothing to do with his abilities. It was because of what he thought."

"He is also the only person who truly understands me. Even if he ultimately cannot do it, I still want to bear him a child born of our love."

Hera could not stop her, nor could the familia.

Even if she were reduced to dust, she would still love him. That was Meitellia's resolve.

Fortunately, Hera still cared about her somewhat, and she had made her resolve clear to Hera as well.

And the results of Ming Ge's efforts were his response to Meitellia.

That was love running both ways.

"I see."

Alfia understood.

From the very beginning, there had been no room for Alfia to interfere in their relationship.

Even if Alfia truly put on the airs of an elder sister, it would most likely lead to the breakdown of the sisters' bond.

Fortunately, Alfia respected Meitellia's will. Even if she was unwilling, she would not do anything excessive.

Realizing this should have made her feel deeply uncomfortable, as though her little sister had been taken from her.

Yet for some reason, Alfia instead felt a sense of melancholy.

She was not angry, only overcome by an inexplicable heaviness.

It was clearly meant to change the subject, yet it made her feel even worse.

"How wonderful..."

Riveria, standing nearby, could not help sighing.

Alfia said nothing, because even she could not help feeling something strange. Clearly, she was envious.

After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl. The experiences from the original story, her environment, her illness, and other factors had prevented such thoughts from taking root before, but things were different now.

The butterfly storm stirred up by a transmigrator was indeed no small thing. Though these feelings were not yet obvious, they would grow sooner or later.

That was also why Meitellia had said, "Do not deceive yourself."

Two hours later, when Ming Ge awoke, he saw that the three girls were getting along well.

His body and mind had both recovered, yet an inexplicable fatigue still lingered.

Perhaps... this was what they called spiritual exhaustion.

"You're awake."

Meitellia looked at Ming Ge with delighted surprise, then asked with some concern, "How are you feeling mentally?"

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Ming Ge rubbed his head. "Two days of rest should be enough."

Alfia's expression was somewhat unnatural.

It was also her first time owing someone such a huge favor, and that person happened to be her brother-in-law.

She obviously knew just how precious a spell specifically meant to suppress the effects of their negative skills was. She also understood Ming Ge's efforts.

All things considered, this favor was essentially impossible to repay.

"Riveria."
