chapter-5 Awakening
Facing Lin Chen's decisive refusal, Mu Ningxue's face showed no disappointment; on the contrary, her interest grew even stronger, and her alluring eyes were fixed on Lin Chen.
She shook her head slightly, letting out a coquettish "Mm," and said softly with tender affection, "No... I don't want to wait any longer..."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, gently flicked Mu Ningxue's delicate white nose with his finger, and said, "Alright, then we won't wait!"
The next moment, Lin Chen bent down and scooped Mu Ningxue into his arms in a princess carry.
Mu Ningxue gasped in surprise, "Ah... No, Chen Ge, I was wrong, no!"
...
The sun rose in the east, and warm sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
The previously dim room gradually brightened, and everything inside became clearly visible under the sunlight.
The two-bedroom, one-living room apartment was furnished with various simple European-style furniture.
In the master bedroom, clothes were scattered messily on the floor.
A man and a woman lay naked, embracing on the bed.
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. Since he was three years old, his nightly cultivation of the Yin Yang Art had almost never stopped. Occasionally sleeping like this made him feel incredibly relaxed.
He felt the warm, soft jade in his arms, her delicate white skin supple yet elastic.
Looking at her exquisite face, a warm smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
Suddenly, Mu Ningxue's heartbeat quickened. Lin Chen knew Mu Ningxue was already awake.
Although they hadn't completed the final transformation last night, they had played many small games. The fundamental reason Lin Chen kept his promise was that the Yin Yang Art greatly enhanced Lin Chen's body!
In Lin Chen's view, the manifestation of magic cultivation was somewhat deformed: cultivating Spirit but not the body.
It was precisely because of this that, at the same cultivation level, a Mage could not defeat a demon beast in a fight.
Mu Ningxue's slender fingers gently slid back and forth across Lin Chen's chest.
"You only know how to bully me!" Recalling the shy scene from last night, a faint blush appeared on her delicate white face.
Lin Chen slowly leaned close to Mu Ningxue's ear and whispered, "Did you like it?"
"Why are you so annoying!" Mu Ningxue said coquettishly while playfully hitting Lin Chen's chest with her small fists.
After playing for a while, Mu Ningxue got up, dressed, washed, and prepared breakfast for Lin Chen.
Looking at Mu Ningxue's virtuous figure, Lin Chen was full of pride. It took him a full two years to finally teach the little princess how to make breakfast!
A moment later, the two sat at the dining table, slowly chewing their simple breakfast.
"How long are you planning to stay this time?" Lin Chen asked after swallowing his last bite of bread.
Mu Ningxue answered without thinking, "The usual!"
Ever since their relationship went from open to secret, Mu Ningxue's holidays had become very regular.
After returning to Bo City, she would stay at Lin Chen's house for a month and a half, then return to the Mu Family for a week, and finally go back to Lin Chen's house for another week, flying to the Imperial Capital only on the last day.
Since Lin Chen's yang energy could only suppress the backlash within Mu Ningxue's body for half a year, Lin Chen would fly to the Imperial Capital to accompany Mu Ningxue for a few days half a year after her holiday ended.
"Oh, by the way, you're going to awaken your magic in two months, right? Knowing your personality, you'll definitely awaken dark magic!" Mu Ningxue laughed.
Lin Chen was stunned when he heard this, and said indignantly, "What's wrong with my personality? Do you really think my personality is that dark?"
Mu Ningxue's beautiful starry eyes curved into slits of laughter, and she said apologetically, "No, no, I was just joking!"
Lin Chen snorted coldly and said seriously, "Today, you are punished to sleep on the floor!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue immediately put down the bread in her hand, ran to Lin Chen's side, and shook his arm continuously, cooing, "No, I don't want to sleep on the floor, I want to snuggle!"
...
Throughout the entire holiday, the two were like a newlywed couple, staying cooped up in Lin Chen's nest. They cooked together, did laundry together, cultivated together...
The enjoyable time flew by, and with the end of the holiday, Lin Chen also welcomed the moment that would change his destiny.
...
Tianlan Magic High School, as one of Bo City's magic schools, was exceptionally lively today.
Not everyone could enter the gates of this school.
For ordinary people, if their magic knowledge wasn't up to par and they couldn't get into high school, they wouldn't even have the chance to awaken magic.
As for paying to awaken at the Magic Association, the probability was even lower. Haven't you seen how Mo Fan in the original story couldn't even keep his family's only house just to get into this school?
These problems were no problem for Lin Chen. As a person who had lived three lives, his mental force was much stronger than ordinary people's, especially in terms of memory, which was fully evident.
The knowledge before high school was relatively superficial, and both demon and Mage knowledge were within Lin Chen's interests.
Lin Chen also deeply understood the importance of knowledge; even the simplest knowledge would be of considerable help in the future.
Over a thousand students were neatly lined up on the playground. Principal Zhu's impassioned speech ignited the passion of all the new students on the field.
As the principal's speech ended, everyone gradually returned to their respective classrooms.
As luck would have it, Lin Chen was assigned to the legendary Class 1 (8). Seeing familiar faces, Lin Chen felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Inside the classroom, discussions were constant. As Lin Chen entered, some of the discussions abruptly ceased.
Many girls' eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, as if they wanted to devour him.
Accustomed to such gazes, Lin Chen slowly walked towards an empty corner at the back, trying to minimize his presence.
When someone greeted Lin Chen, he responded to each one. His spring-breeze-like smile also made those around him feel good about him.
Although he had many barriers between himself and these classmates in his heart, he couldn't simply avoid socializing.
He could only seal away his Old freak mindset and slowly integrate into his surroundings.
Of course, when he could be low-key, he tried to be low-key, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
Xue Musheng introduced himself, and the awakening ceremony officially began.
"Mu Bai... Very good, he awakened Ice Element!"
"Lin Chen!"
Soon, Xue Musheng called Lin Chen's name, and Lin Chen quickly walked forward.
Perhaps influenced by those around him, Lin Chen's heart was also quite excited as he stood before the awakening stone.
"Lin Chen, your magic theory knowledge is very good. I hope you can awaken a powerful magic." Xue Musheng encouraged him with a smile.
Looking at Xue Musheng's smile, for some reason, Lin Chen thought of Su Yuntao!
Lin Chen smiled faintly, nodded gently, and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Immediately, his attention focused on the awakening stone in front of him.
"Place your right hand on the awakening stone and close your eyes to feel the changes in your Spirit World!"
