“Hmm?”
Mai, who was both afraid and expectant but acted resistant, suddenly noticed Ling Qing’s movement stop.
Her hazy eyes held a trace of confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
Ling Qing let go of her hand and sighed, “There’s a trade.”
“……”
Mai’s face darkened at the mention of a trade.
Her entire body filled with jealousy, she spoke coldly, “Is it Sae or Shobu?”
However, Ling Qing shook his head.
“Neither, it’s Stella, and this time it’s a legitimate trade.”
Surprised as she was, Mai still laughed.
“Ha, so you do know that the others were illegitimate trades.”
“Do you think I’m not good enough? Is one of me not enough?”
The jealousy in Mai’s eyes grew rapidly.
Ling Qing, without hesitation, kissed her lips.
A moment later.
Holding Mai, whose face had turned red again, he softly said, “I’m sorry, Mai.”
“This fickle man will never be able to only love one person, but I can give you my all.”
“……”
The jealousy in Mai’s heart had mostly dissipated within these few minutes of deep kisses.
She also understood that she couldn’t confine Ling Qing.
He was the group leader of this chat group.
She couldn’t imagine how powerful Ling Qing would become in the future, how much of a gap would exist between them.
“I know… but I hope that when you look at me, there’s only me in your eyes, you can never forget me.”
This was Mai’s smallest request.
“Mm, I will.”
Ling Qing gave his promise.
After calming Mai, he focused on Stella’s trade.
Shinomiya Kuro.
The chairman of the Hakuryu Academy.
A former K.O.K. league competitor.
Her world ranking once placed her third.
Her ability was a time manipulation-based causal interference type.
It seemed she retired from the league after getting married.
However, there was no further elaboration on the reason for her marriage, not even the identity of her husband or whether she had any children.
This was his impression of her.
But he couldn’t really say how strong she was.
Because the people in that world were all about individual combat power, their performance wasn’t incredibly strong.
Stella’s information appeared before him.
【Name】: Stella Famillion
【Level】: 18
【Ability】: 「Dragon God Possession (Un Awakened State) 」, 「Royal Swordsmanship」, 「Unique Spirit Armor: Princess Dragon Sin Sword」
This Flame Flower Witch was only level 18.
Therefore, he estimated that Shinomiya Kuro might not be that strong either.
“Perhaps I can go take a look.”
Ling Qing pondered and made his decision.
He chose ‘Dragon God Possession’ as the trading condition.
Not long after.
Stella confirmed on her end.
【Ding! Trade starts!】
【Trade Target】: Stella
【Trade Content】: Have Shinomiya Kuro, the chairman, agree to her request for a single-person dormitory.
【Trade Condition】: Dragon God Possession
【Stay Time】: 3 hours
Seeing the chat group notification, Mai’s expression turned worried.
“Ling Qing-kun, will it be dangerous?”
Ling Qing shook his head, “Not sure yet.”
“……”
Mai bit her silver teeth and mustered her courage, “You must come back safe.”
“When you come back, I… I can let you…”
“!!!”
Ling Qing’s eyes instantly lit up.
Yesterday, his tongue was pushed so hard he couldn’t even get a good lick. Letting him do that was completely rejected.
Now Mai was actively suggesting it, he was very excited.
“Since it’s okay to lick, then is it…”
However, Mai immediately put on a serious face, “No!”
Then, worried that Ling Qing would be unhappy.
Her voice softened and she pleaded, “Ling Qing-kun, please give me some time, I’ll give you the best version of myself.”
She was so humble, Ling Qing affectionately rubbed her face.
“I’ll wait for you.”
With that, he disappeared before Mai’s eyes.
There was a moment of loss and longing.
But thinking of Ling Qing coming back…
Her entire body began to blush.
“A-anyway, let’s go take a bath first.”
Mai didn’t even realize that she was so nervous that she was walking clumsily, taking each step with both feet.
…
“Why?”
Stella slammed her hands on the desk.
Across from her was a calm and composed woman dressed in formal attire with her hair tied up in a neat bun.
Shinomiya Kuro.
The chairman of Hakuryu Academy.
Stella glared fiercely as she questioned,
“Why do I have to live in the same dormitory with a man? And that peeping Tom!”
“Do you know I’m the princess of the Famillion Kingdom?
“What are you going to do with my reputation, the reputation of the princess?”
Shinomiya Kuro lifted her head and said calmly, “You set a dormitory on fire.”
“Huh?”
Stella was so angry that her lungs were ablaze.
The temperature in the office was rising.
“Just because I burnt a dormitory, I have to live with a man? What kind of joke is this?”
“Do you think our Famillion Kingdom can’t afford a dormitory?!”
Shinomiya Kuro ignored the rising flames.
She said indifferently, “This is Hakuryu Academy’s rule.”
“What kind of stupid rule, I don’t need it!”
“Well said.”
Ling Qing suddenly appeared in this tense moment of confrontation and clapped his hands.
Shinomiya Kuro’s eyes sharpened.
“Who are you? Why are you here at Hakuryu Academy without anyone noticing?”
She was full of caution.
She hadn’t detected Ling Qing’s presence at all.
She couldn’t fathom Ling Qing’s depth.
However, Ling Qing saw through her depth.
【Name】: Shinomiya Kuro
【Level】: 23
【Ability】: 「Time Causal Interference」, 「Unique Spirit Armor: Origin Father God」, 「Unique Spirit Armor: Mind Goddess」
