LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 76: Can’t I Miss You
Later, Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er left the meeting room.
On the way, Xi Wei’er couldn’t help but say, “So Chen Ling turned out to be a Curse Master. I thought he was just a fresh-faced young man. Too bad, Curse Masters are usually old and immortal.”
In this world, Curse Masters have a lifespan of over 300 years.
Yan Ran sighed, “I thought he was a talented young boy. What a pity.”
Xi Wei’er smiled and said, “An old genius isn’t bad either. Honk honk~”
In fact, except for dark magic users, anyone who can reach the level of a curse master can already be considered a genius. Being a curse master is a realm that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives.
Despite Yan Ran being a high-ranking grand mage at such a young age, she didn’t dare to say that she could definitely break through the bottleneck and become a curse master in her lifetime. There were many exceptionally talented geniuses who failed to break through to become curse masters in their entire lives.
And at this moment, the culprit, “Curse Master” Chen Ling, was lying on the couch with a smirk, watching the points skyrocketing on the screen.
〚 Sui Li’er +100,000! 〛
〚 Min Jiangyun -2,000,000! 〛
It was like the two of them were competing. Sui Li’er was accumulating points, while Min Jiangyun was reducing them.
Min Jiangyun was decreasing points at an incredible speed. However, after a while, the speed decreased by several billion. Based on these points alone, Chen Ling had no intention of letting him off.
“Hahaa~”
“Hmm? Chen Ling, what are you laughing at? Heehee!” Seeing him so happy, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but feel happy as well, inexplicably joyful.
Chen Ling smiled and shook his head, “It’s nothing.”
“What is it? Tell me!” Sui Li’er sat on the couch, eagerly looking at Chen Ling.
He shrugged, “Just caught a dark mage, feeling happy.”
“Hee~” Sui Li’er would be very happy if Chen Ling was willing to tell her! She didn’t care whether it was true or not.
After a while, she suddenly remembered the upcoming Joint Examination of the Twelve Academies in a few days.
“Um, can I participate in the Twelve Great Academies’ Joint Examination in a few days?”
Chen Ling replied indifferently, “Which academy do you want to go to? I’ll take you there directly.”
Hearing his words, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but feel delighted: Lord God is really kind~
But she still said seriously, “No, I want to get in by myself!”
Chen Ling looked at her determined expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “You? A 17-year-old Junior Level Mage Apprentice. What makes you think you can enter the Twelve Great Academies?”
“Uh~”
〚 Di~ Target feels sad, -100,000 points. 〛
Chen Ling was taken aback, What the hell? Don’t you have any sense of humor?
“Cough, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously. Wherever you want to go, you can go!”
“Uh~” Sui Li’er murmured softly again, biting her lip gently, “I know my strength is not enough, there’s no need to comfort me. I just want to give it a try.”
“I definitely can’t get into the Twelve Great Academies, but I can try applying to regular academies next year.”
“Before that, I want to experience what the assessment is like since I’ve never taken one before.”
Due to the curse, Sui Li’er had always lacked formal education from academies. She knew her own limitations, but participation was what mattered.
Chen Ling nodded after listening, “Alright.”
“Hehe~ Then will you accompany me?”
“Me? Why should I accompany you during your assessment?”
“Uh~”
“Accompany!”
“Hee~ I knew you’re the best!” Sui Li’er grinned happily, showing her teeth. “Oh, by the way, you don’t need to help me during the assessment. I just, I just wanted…”
She hesitated, lightly pursing her lips, and said in a low voice, “I wanted you by my side.”
“What? Speak louder.”
“Uh~ It’s nothing!” Suddenly, Sui Li’er’s face turned red.
Chen Ling looked at her shy appearance and smiled inwardly. Well, since you want it that much, I’ll trouble myself to accompany you.
Even if she didn’t mention it, Chen Ling would still accompany her, but invisibly. Otherwise, it would seem like she couldn’t let go of her. Now he could openly accompany her, as she wished. It was a needle in the right spot~
He now believed, for the most part, that this person was her future wife. Of course, he had to protect her.
Suddenly, Chen Ling sensed a wave of energy, much weaker compared to the high-ranking Grand mage and curse masters he had encountered before.
It was the energy emitted by Sui Li’er.
The temperature in the room slowly increased, and a small fireball appeared in her palm. The fireball was only the size of a golf ball, even a bloodthirsty fly would laugh at it.
She was really inexperienced!
However, Sui Li’er continued to practice earnestly. So what if she was inexperienced? At least she was serious about it~
Seeing this, Chen Ling couldn’t help but laugh, “Wow! Such a big fireball! You scared me, Great Sage, please put away your divine powers!”
“Huh?” Sui Li’er could clearly tell that Chen Ling was being sarcastic. She turned her head unhappily and pouted, “You’re not allowed to laugh at me!”
After she said that, Chen Ling’s laughter became even more exaggerated.
“You! If you laugh at me again! Hmph!”
“Hahaha~”
“Uh~ If you laugh again, I’ll go back to my room! Then you won’t see me!” Sui Li’er dismissed her “Fireball Spell” and angrily stood up from the couch.
But instead of going back to her room, she looked at Chen Ling with a face that said: Hurry up and persuade me!
Chen Ling coughed twice, suppressing his laughter, and said, “Sit, sit. I know you don’t want to go back.”
“Hmph~ Is this your way of persuading me?”
Chen Ling nodded with a smile, “Sure, sure, sure.”
“Hmph~ Hehe~” Sui Li’er originally wanted to act a bit spoiled, but she accidentally laughed out loud. However, she felt embarrassed and quickly pursed her lips, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up as she looked at him.
Chen Ling also smiled and looked at Sui Li’er. Ever since they had Min Jiangyun over, he found her more and more pleasing to the eye. After all, he no longer had to worry about her arbitrarily adding points. She could add as many as she wanted, as long as Min Jiangyun was there. Everything was not a problem.
Min Jiangyun was amazing!
Seeing Chen Ling continuously smiling at her, Sui Li’er felt a bit shy. Her eyes flickered, and she turned her face away. Her small hand lightly entangled, unsure of where to place it.
He’s always looking at me~ she thought to herself.
She gently pursed her lips, trying not to show her happiness too obviously.
It was said that when you lock eyes with someone you like, you can’t help but curl up the corners of your mouth. This point was proven with Sui Li’er. She didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Chen Ling.
After a while, she stole a glance at him and found…
“He fell asleep again!?” Sui Li’er’s good mood instantly vanished.
But since Chen Ling was asleep, she naturally had to protect his sleep. She took out her small blanket and stood next to Chen Ling with a red face.
Internally: After I cover him, can I also crawl in…. We shared a blanket last night.
“Thump, thump, thump~” Sui Li’er’s heart suddenly started beating rapidly again, and her face became even redder. Her hand, which was helping cover him with the blanket, began to tremble.
Just then, Chen Ling opened his eyes.
“Huh?” Sui Li’er’s heart skipped a beat, and she stopped her hand’s movement.
Chen Ling helplessly said, “No need to cover me with the blanket. It’s so hot today, do you want me to sweat to death?”
“Ah?” Sui Li’er paused for a moment, realizing that he had a point. Then she instinctively said, “But…” She stopped halfway through her sentence and didn’t continue.
“In that case, I’ll take the blanket back~”
Chen Ling, puzzled, asked, “But what? You stopped halfway through your sentence.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing!” With a red face, Sui Li’er quickly took the blanket and returned to her room.
She gently threw the blanket onto the bed and lightly bit her lip, murmuring, “But then we can’t share the blanket anymore, sigh~”
“Why is this city so hot? I don’t like it, sigh~” Sui Li’er regretted coming here. If she had known, she would have gone to a colder city so she could share the blanket with him.
Seeing that she didn’t come out, Chen Ling couldn’t help but call out, “What are you doing?”
“Huh? Coming!” Sui Li’er quickly ran out.
Happily entering the living room, she tilted her cute little head with a smile and asked, “What’s wrong? Hehe?”
Chen Ling: ??? Yeah, why did I call her?
He was awake and didn’t see her for a while, so he missed her, that’s all. It was that simple. However, he himself didn’t realize it and found it inexplicable.
He coughed lightly and said, “Can’t I call you for no reason?” (Can’t I say I missed you?)
