Chapter 105 (continued)

Mel blushed and replied in a sweet voice, "The day before yesterday, before you got up... it was mainly the kids who were setting up the internet; I only helped them adjust the Magic Power flow in the mage tower's barrier."

I paused for a moment, then... well... I have been sleeping in a bit lately these past few days... I turned my head, changing the subject, and looked at Mel's screen. Mel was showing me that social network that Moli and the others always seem to be browsing, a website called something like "Neck." Mel even has an account there, and it's flooded with comments, a whole bunch of them scrolling by...

"'Evil Shadow Manipulator' & 'Master of the Undead' are a perfect match! Love it! Love it! Love it!" Then followed by a row of little red heart emojis.

"Waaaaah, seeing all my crushes happily together makes me even more excited than if I were to find a partner myself!"

"Flame of Fury is so sweet! He seems like the kind of gentle older brother who would hug me when I cry!"

I scrolled through the news, and there were still a lot of real-time news articles about me, but the comments were strange... There were actually a lot of people... um... asking to find a partner? Oh my god, did I accidentally stumble into a massive online dating and confession event? I looked at the title... and it was indeed true, it was the news article "Flame of Fury's True Form Fully Exposed, and He Publicly Announces His Relationship with the Evil Shadow Manipulator!"

Forward this picture of the 'Evil Shadow Manipulator' and the 'Master of the Undead' embracing intimately, and you'll meet the love of your life within a week! Don't let me commit suicide to join the Master of the Undead's undead army!

... If you knew that the "Master of the Undead" had been used as a substitute lover, you probably wouldn't be begging me to find a partner.

I was speechless for a moment... I looked up at Mel and felt like we had somehow become some kind of "lucky charm"? Every time Moli went to queue up to buy lipstick, I would see her holding her phone and telling me in a serious tone that she was sharing lucky charm images for good luck.

That's not right!

"Why are there pictures of us hugging online?!" I grabbed my phone in astonishment, and what I saw was shocking. Not only were there pictures of Mel and Mel hugging, but also pictures of us flying side by side, casting spells together, strolling together, chatting outside the tower... and even a close-up of me carrying a dragon ship in the Holy Dragon Empire?

Oh my god! Why are there still photos of us watching the movie? In the photos, I'm so dizzy, leaning on Mel's shoulder like I have no bones. Oh my god, where did these pictures come from? When were I secretly photographed?

Mel glanced at it, then said nonchalantly (and I think he was actually secretly pleased): "Oh, it was mainly Luolan and Crow who posted the pictures. After your identity was exposed, they both conspired to post all the secretly taken photos to show off. So now the whole world knows that Xipei is mine!"

Forehead...

I couldn't help but facepalm. Luolan was a dark elf, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did something like this, but Lady Crow really... really hadn't left even a trace of the Druid's Mourner spirit!

She has now completely transformed into a Druid version of Moli in my eyes.

"Oh my god!" I suddenly exclaimed, because I saw photos of me and Mel's female bodies! Not only were they high-definition close-ups, but the location was clearly on a cliff. Without being taught, I looked at the poster—a verified account... Dragon Empress Agnes!

Is it really acceptable for the emperor of a nation to engage in such reckless behavior?

Okay, she's even become a Best Actress... So, when does your Holy Dragon Empire plan to be destroyed?

"Ah, I'm going to save this!" Mel said happily. "Xipei is so charming no matter what she looks like, whether she's wearing a robe or a dress, her beauty shines through! Xipei, next time you can transform into a girl and be with me, okay?"

My mouth, acting on my brain, answered, "Okay!"

"It's settled then! Xipei, you take the initiative first. You'll be done quickly anyway. Then, I want you to sit on me and move yourself like last time. Xipei was especially alluring then!"

I...

Mel, you say things like that so openly, aren't you embarrassed or ashamed? Oh, I see, Mel is blushing as she looks at me, not only her face is red, but her eyes also seem hesitant, filled with complicated emotions, biting her lip, looking like I did something to him... I really didn't do anything to you, Mel... So you still remember how to blush, huh? Also, can we please stop talking about the two minutes, three minutes thing?

Ignoring the heat on my face, I said sternly, "You can't use the persistence spell anymore! You're cheating!"

"... But if I don't use it, because it feels so good, I'll finish too quickly like you, and then neither of us will be satisfied... Xipei, your body is so beautiful, I can't help myself..."

Hmm, that makes sense. Every time I take the initiative, I feel like I haven't had enough, but then I've already said everything. It's always more comfortable when Mel takes the initiative...

Stop! What are we doing? It's broad daylight!

I reflected on it.

Then I dragged Mel out of bed to stop us from going any further down this path and forcefully interrupted this embarrassing topic, saying, "We still have to deal with the Machine Zealots and those psychopathic warlocks; we can't stay home!"

Furthermore, we need to find out why Reynold and his group were attacked. Reynold has had a tough time; he's been attacked several times already.

Mel obediently let me pull her up, nodded, and we prepared to go back to find Goliath and the others immediately.

As we were going downstairs, we ran into Moli and Anna. The two children were screaming and running around, knocking over all sorts of furniture and decorations. Nova was waving his tentacles and chasing after them, trying to straighten everything. Yamier, on the other hand, didn't stop them and just watched with amusement. Since his consciousness had returned some time ago, he could now touch physical objects inside the tower. He was holding the fast-sleeping Ruiduo in his arms and smiling broadly.

What nonsense are you talking about?

With a shout, Mel raised his hand and instantly cast a time-freezing field. Anna and Moli were frozen in place. Nova, who had rushed too fast, had two tentacles stuck in the magical field and couldn't get them out. He was so anxious that he was flailing his arms and legs. Yamier's spirit appeared next to him, laughing heartily. Ruiduo, who had just been woken up, was rubbing her eyes and had picked up Nova's tentacle and tied it into a bow to play with.

I released the barrier, and the two apprentices, caught off guard, crashed into the wall with a thud. But as they scrambled to their feet, they exclaimed, "Teacher! Teacher is so handsome! So handsome! So handsome! There are fans of both of you all online, but unfortunately... hahaha... only we can touch you!"

As they spoke, they pressed their advantage, lunging at us and hugging our waists. Moli, with her eyes closed, screamed, "Ahhh! I've been waiting for this day for so long! I can finally slap those bastards in the face! So many stupid assistants at the research institute actually laughed at my posture while hugging their legs... Humph, from now on, my title 'Flames of Death' will be praised by the world! When we go back to the research institute, we'll definitely scare those little bastards to death!"

"And me! Your apprentice, Evil Shadow Manipulator — 'Blade of the Evil Shadow' Anna Moonblade! I'll gain tons of followers because of this, and then every novel of mine will be signed for a film or television adaptation! I'll have your mother, the Queen, play my lead role then!"

"Wow, my mother is fine, but I didn't even know your novel had a female lead! Author, haven't you always only been active on the pure romance channel of Jinjiang...?"

Stop! Stop!

I used Air Shield to pin the two overly excited apprentices to the wall and temporarily gagged them—why were those two incredibly shameful nicknames brought up again? I'm worried that these apprentices who give themselves such childish nicknames will get strangled by their teacher if they come back from the dead.

I was just about to scold the two children for their loud and unruly behavior when suddenly the entire mage tower shook slightly. Mel and I both felt the space distort, and the Magic Power fluctuations became irregular. Because of this fluctuation, the figures of Teacher Yamier and Teacher Nova blurred for a moment, and they also looked up sharply, staring at us in astonishment—this was incredibly unbelievable. Inside the mage tower, Mel and I were supposed to have absolute control; not a single ounce of Magic Power should escape our grasp.
