Chapter 79: Pisces · Water Spike Spirit
Chen Ling didn’t explain, so Sui Li’er eagerly looked at him and asked, “What about your other hair color?”
“I don’t have another one, just this.”
“Huh? That can’t be right. Aren’t Pisces supposed to have two hair colors?”
Seeing her so excited and not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm, Chen Ling had a thought and used the system to turn his silver hair into blue hair. It was the exact same shade of blue as Sui Li’er’s!
“Wow!”
Chen Ling’s silver hair transformed into blue, and his whole demeanor changed. The enchanting feeling intensified, the blue hair made him instantly appear more sunny.
Sui Li’er was astonished. Chen Ling now gave off the impression of a gentle older brother next door. This gave her a strange illusion, as if Chen Ling was her own brother.
Seeing her speechless, Chen Ling asked, “What’s wrong?”
Sui Li’er snapped out of her daze and smiled, “It looks so good! It really looks amazing!”
“To actually have the same hair color as me!”
〚 Ding~ Target feels happy, +100,000 points!〛
Sui Li’er was overwhelmed with emotions. Chen Ling truly lived up to her expectations. He looked good no matter what.
Feeling a bit embarrassed by her exaggerated praise, he changed his hair color back to silver with a thought.
“Hehe, still looks great.”
“Alright, let me show you the spell I used just now.” Saying that, the hundreds of runes reappeared in the living room.
Sui Li’er looked around for a while and said, “Okay! Can I try it?”
Chen Ling raised an eyebrow, “Did you remember it?”
He was a bit surprised because each of those runes was peculiar and strange. He didn’t expect Sui Li’er to remember them so quickly; her memory was quite good.
“Mhm~ Hehe~” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling, biting her lip as if she was anticipating something.
Chen Ling simply said, “Your memory is pretty good.”
Upon hearing this, Sui Li’er grinned, revealing her small tiger teeth, and bounced up again. “Hehe~ Hehehe!”
〚 Ding~ Target feels happy, +100,000 points!〛
It turned out she had been waiting for him to praise her all along. She enjoyed being praised by him.
Seeing her happily jumping around, Chen Ling couldn’t help but reach out and pat her little head.
“Hmm?” Sui Li’er stopped in her tracks and stared at Chen Ling, whispering softly, “Hehe~ It feels so ticklish.”
Then, like a little kitten, she couldn’t resist but tiptoe, shake her head lightly, and gently rub against Chen Ling’s hand.
Seeing this, Chen Ling’s heart melted: Wait, is this legal? It’s too adorable!
〚 Ding~ Target feels extremely happy, +10,000,000 points!〛
Chen Ling quickly pulled his hand back.
“Cough…”
He quickly retracted it. Sui Li’er’s reward of 10 million points for a single touch was a bit excessive.
“Um…” Sui Li’er stood in front of him, pursing her lips and looking up at him with a face full of confusion. She couldn’t help but ask in a soft voice, “Is that all?”
Chen Ling coughed seriously and said, “Ahem, let’s focus on the task at hand.”
“Aw~ Alright then.” Sui Li’er lightly bit her lip, looking disappointed.
Watching her like that, Chen Ling couldn’t help but think: Why does it feel like I’ve turned my internship life into a girlfriend raising game? Maybe I should find more dark magicians later? That Huan Yingying from last time should also be a dark mage, right? Min Jiangyun is one too. I wonder if dark mages make me lose more points?
With this, Chen Ling made the decision to find a few more dark mages and happily play with them every day!
When he came back to his senses and looked at Sui Li’er, her runes were already fully expanded. Chen Ling was surprised to see this. Has she already succeeded?!
He could already sense the faintly restless and agitated mana around them. This person, maybe, just maybe, is truly a genius!
To be able to release spells just by knowing the runes, what kind of high comprehension is needed for that? Even if someone as talented as Yan Ran, they might not be able to do it, right?
In the next moment, water droplets the size of soybeans appeared in the air, just like before when Chen Ling demonstrated. However, it was clear that Sui Li’er couldn’t match his quantity. Even so, this one spell took away one-third of her mana.
“Hehe!” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling with delight. “I did it!”
Praise me quickly~
Chen Ling smiled and said, “Impressive.”
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him. If he let Sui Li’er control this〚 Water Spike Spirit〛to attack Min Jiangyun, wouldn’t it be such a happy thing? It could probably help her break through. With that in mind, he opened the door and said with a smile, “Come! Let’s punish the dark mage who devours others without leaving a trace!”
“Um… Can I?”
“Of course.”
Min Jiangyun outside the door naturally heard their conversation.
〚 Ding~ Target Min Jiangyun feels despair, -2,000,000 points.〛
Even before the battle (beating) began, he had already lost 2 million points. Chen Ling was starting to look forward to it.
“Then here I come! Uh, can you stand to the side? I’m afraid of hitting you!”
Chen Ling smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I can dodge.”
“Okay then, be careful!”
“Mhm.”
Then, with a thought, Sui Li’er immediately controlled the spell, sending it flying towards the door. “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
All the raindrops flew towards Chen Ling.
Chen Ling: ??? Are you doing this on purpose?!
“Ah! No!” Sui Li’er also realized that she had aimed incorrectly, and all the spells were heading straight for Chen Ling! In a panic, she quickly tried to control the spells to change direction. However, once the spells were released, they were like arrows on a bowstring. Once they left the string, there was nothing she could do.
But Sui Li’er’s simple spell couldn’t cause any harm to Chen Ling in the first place. With a thought, he dispersed all of her spells, causing the water droplets to burst and splash all over the floor like bursting fireworks.
“Uwu!” Sui Li’er cried out and quickly ran over. “I’m sorry!” >人<
“I didn’t mean to…”
Chen Ling helplessly said, “It’s okay. Are you nearsighted?”
“Uwu~ No, it’s just that my long-range spells never seem to be accurate. It’s the same with the Pebble Spell, I can’t hit the target.”
Seeing this, Chen Ling pondered and said, “Why don’t you stand closer to him and try again? Let me see.”
“Okay~” Sui Li’er walked forward and expanded her runes once again.
“Wait!” Chen Ling quickly ran over and turned Min Jiangyun, who was facing upwards, towards them. He was now facing Sui Li’er.
“Uwu~”
Min Jiangyun was still dripping with blood, with drops falling to the ground and forming a puddle of blood beneath him. His appearance was extremely terrifying, causing Sui Li’er to furrow her brows in worry. She couldn’t help but look at Chen Ling and say, “No… I’m scared, he’s really scary! Uwu.”
As she spoke, Sui Li’er even moved closer to Chen Ling, and the golden runes around them had already dissipated.
Chen Ling smiled and looked at Min Jiangyun, saying, “Look how scared you’ve made her. Why do you look so ugly?”
〚 Ding~ Target Min Jiangyun feels angry, points -1 million!〛
Chen Ling smirked and said to Sui Li’er, “It’s alright, I’ll protect you. I’ll stay by your side, so be bold.”
Upon hearing this, Sui Li’er felt warmth in her heart and also added 100,000 points to Chen Ling.
“Mhm~” Then she once again unleashed the spell,〚 Pisces · Water Spike Spirit〛.
“Wohoo!”
Min Jiangyun looked at the water droplets released in the air by Sui Li’er, feeling a sense of despair.
〚 Ding~ Target feels incredibly hopeless, points -2 million!〛
The next second, Sui Li’er controlled the spells and with a thought, the water droplets flew like arrows released from a bow, “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
All of them were aimed at Chen Ling!
Min Jiangyun: ???
Chen Ling: ???
Are you messing with me… This has to be intentional!
With a single thought, he once again shook and burst the water droplets in front of him.
“Huh?” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling in confusion. Why do the skills always fly towards him?
