LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89: She’s Not A Loli
They couldn’t find Chen Ling, so they had to take the blame for themselves.
In order to salvage their reputation, even the Aries Constellation’s Star Leader came!
They tried everything, but they still couldn’t revoke those few words of Chen Ling’s. So, in order to save face, they took the blame upon themselves. Otherwise, if it spread out that someone else wrote these words and even the Aries Constellation’s Forbidden Curse Master can’t do anything about it, they would be utterly embarrassed.
Now, the people of the Aries Constellation had another occupation. That was to specifically assign a group of people to maintain those few words. After all, using so many runes would quickly deplete their mana. They didn’t have the vast amount of mana that Chen Ling did, so they had to take turns.
But they never stopped searching for Chen Ling.
Similarly, the dark mages also continued their search for Chen Ling.
In the distant Qingping Secret Realm.
There, a hidden stronghold of dark mages was concealed. Their king was currently trying to stop a massive conspiracy.
“King, will you go personally?” asked Huan Yingying, worried.
Her king gave her a cold glance, “Otherwise, will you go? You useless thing, what can you do?”
Upon hearing this, Huan Yingying quickly lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, I’m incompetent. But this mission is right under the nose of the Aries Constellation. The Star Leader of the Aries Constellation seems to be at home recently.”
In response to her concern, the Qingping King simply said, “If you keep blabbering, I’ll make sure you can never speak again.”
Huan Yingying quickly shut her mouth and didn’t dare to look at him.
The Qingping King sneered and said, “What does the Constellation matter? I’m going to destroy the entire Misty Rain City right under their noses!”
Several days passed.
Suddenly, there was a hidden surge of energy within Sui Li’er’s body, but this time Chen Ling wasn’t as flustered. He simply looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, “You’ve advanced again?”
“Hehe~ Yeah! Does that mean I’m an Intermediate Mage now?”
Sui Li’er’s perception of her own strength had always been incorrect. But Chen Ling didn’t expose her and simply said, “That’s right.”
Anyway, others couldn’t perceive her true strength, only Chen Ling’s Divine System could scan and detect it. Currently, Sui Li’er was a high-level mage apprentice.
It was normal for the advancement speed to be fast in the early stages, but the gap between each major stage held back countless people. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people in this world who remained mage apprentices for their entire lives.
Chen Ling didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he didn’t tell her the truth. In the future, when she became powerful, she would find out herself.
“So, does that mean I can enter the Aries Celestial Academy?”
Chen Ling nodded and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to get in.”
Because I’m here.
“Hehe~ With you here, I’m sure I can get in!” Sui Li’er said happily and then crouched next to him. Chen Ling nodded but didn’t say anything further.
When Sui Li’er saw that he didn’t react, she whispered, “I want you to pat my head!”
Chen Ling:” …You’re quite cheeky now!”
“Can you not?”
“I can, I can.” After saying that, Chen Ling smiled and reached out his hand to gently pat her head twice.
“Just twice?”
Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch her face, “Are you starting to boss me around?”
“Can I? Hehe~”
Inner thoughts: Lord God won’t refuse me. I’m just greedy for these little moments! Just a few moments will do.
Chen Ling chuckled lightly and gently placed his hand on her head, slowly stroking it. The feeling was really like having a pet cat.
“By the way, the rankings have been released. Your final ranking is 609, and you have the exam tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow… There are still so many people ahead of me?”
Chen Ling shook his head and said, “There were over one hundred thousand participants in the test, so your ranking is already quite high.”
Sui Li’er’s high score mainly came from her affinity for spells and mana, which Chen Ling had boosted a bit. So even though she was older and had a lower level, her overall potential was still great, resulting in a high ranking.
Out of over ten thousand people, she had to compete for 1,200 spots, which was still a significant competition. Each of the twelve academies only accepted one hundred students each year.
“Well, I have to work hard!” Sui Li’er said, standing up and continuing to look for Min Jiangyun.
At that moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded:
〚 Ding~ Your friend Mo Suyan is requesting a call. 〛
“Hello? What’s up?”
〚 Did you finish drawing the illustrations, big pervert? 〛
Chen Ling: “Oh~ I forgot, sorry.”
〚 What? Damn it! I’ve been looking forward to it for days, and you forgot! 〛
“Uh, sorry, sorry.”
〚 It’s okay, no need to apologize. Two copies next time! 〛
Chen Ling laughed when he heard that and said, “Okay.”
“Yay~ Chen Ling! I hit from three meters away!” Sui Li’er’s voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Ling listened calmly and said, “Impressive, impressive! Keep it up!”
“Hehe~”
Mo Suyan was someone Chen Ling was familiar with, so he didn’t conceal it.
〚 Wait a minute, a girl? I seem to hear the voice of a cute girl! 〛
Chen Ling: “Well, she is quite cute. Uh, no, she’s just a friend.”
〚 Huh? Quite cute? Is she your girlfriend? 〛
“No.”
〚 Tsk… I thought we agreed to stay single as good buddies, but it seems like you’ve got a little sister by your side now! 〛
Chen Ling: “……”
The fact was as it was, there wasn’t much to argue about.
〚 Are you not dating now? Damn it! We promised to stay single together, but now I’m the only one left as a dog? 〛
Chen Ling smiled and said, “No, if I were dating, I would have made a universal announcement.”
〚 Hmm, I feel like that day isn’t too far off. And you’re even cheering her on, you’ve changed. 〛
Chen Ling: ?? “Changed how?”
〚 Last time, when you asked me for adult content, I already sensed something was wrong. Weren’t you all about mature women before? 〛
〚 If a girl talked to you like this before, you would have cursed at her right away, wouldn’t you? 〛
〚 Weren’t you annoyed by these soft and cute little loli speaking styles before? 〛
Chen Ling sneered, “She’s not a loli, she’s legal.”
Mo Suyan: ?????
“Uh! No, I mean, she has matured, uh, she has come of age! No, stop with the bullshit!”
〚 Uh, okay, okay, just don’t forget about it. 〛
Chen Ling: “Yeah, yeah.”
There was silence on the other end of the call for a moment, then suddenly:
〚 I want an illustration with a blue-haired, airport-sized, little loli. 〛
Chen Ling: ????? Isn’t this Sui Li’er?
His expression turned cold, and he angrily cursed: “Get the hell out of here! Are you dreaming or what?”
〚 Damn it! So it really is her! Have you fallen for her? 〛
〚 Bzzt~ 〛
Chen Ling hung up the call directly and muttered disdainfully: “Shark’s arm!”
Sui Li’er, who had just heard Chen Ling’s angry voice, was frightened and quickly ran in to see what happened. “Huh? Shark’s arm? Where’s the shark’s arm?”
She thought it was the one Chen Ling took her to eat last time, glanced at the table, didn’t see it, and then looked at him.
Chen Ling: “…”
“It’s nothing, why did you come in?”
“I, I heard you arguing with someone, so I came in to check.”
“Ah, it’s nothing, go on.”
“Oh, okay.” Then Sui Li’er obediently left the room.
At that moment, Mo Suyan sent a message:
〚 Bro, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously. Don’t forget about my illustrations! 〛
Chen Ling sneered: “Your illustration is gone, forget it!” He closed the message window directly.
After a while, Sui Li’er came back happily and squatted beside him, asking for a head pat.
It was raining heavily outside at this time and her face was covered in water droplets. The weather was still hot, causing her fair skin to have a slight blush.
Chen Ling looked at her face, which was as exquisite as a work of art, and couldn’t help but think: If I draw for myself to look at, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?
