After returning to the room Tang Yue had arranged earlier, Tang Yue directly threw herself into Lin Chen's arms.
"Little man, I'm so proud of you!" Tang Yue said affectionately.
Lin Chen chuckled, "It's all because of how well the teacher taught me!"
...
The war in Bo City was not yet over. After a short rest, Lin Chen joined the effort to reclaim Bo City. Large-scale demon attacks had become rare; now, the demons were hiding within various buildings.
For the next seven days, Lin Chen spent his time in battle, which could be described as painful yet joyful. Once his spirit power and magic energy were depleted, he would return to the spirit World to recover.
After restoring his magic energy and spirit power, he continued to clear out the demons, repeating the cycle.
His actions were observed by many, and everyone admired such a powerful individual.
Besides the buildings, the sewers also became a key area for him to investigate. With everyone's combined efforts, Bo City was finally reclaimed.
"Lin Chen, have you considered joining Wei Fang?"
Instructor Zhan Kong hesitated before finally extending an invitation to Lin Chen. Lin Chen's abilities were beyond doubt, and Instructor Zhan Kong had privately learned about Lin Chen's character from Tang Yue. Instructor Zhan Kong knew the chances were slim, but he still wanted to try.
If Lin Chen could train for a few more years, he would definitely be able to guard a region in the future. Clearly, Instructor Zhan Kong felt a sense of惜才 for him.
Lin Chen didn't even think about it before immediately replying, "I'm sorry, I'm already pursuing further studies at Mingzhu Academy, and I don't like restrictions. Wei Fang isn't suitable for me!"
Lin Chen truly didn't want to join Wei Fang; otherwise, there would have been no need for Instructor Zhan Kong to invite him, Jiang Tianyuan would have already arranged it for him.
Instructor Zhan Kong said regretfully, "Alright, if you change your mind in the future, the doors of Wei Fang will always be open for you!"
After refusing Instructor Zhan Kong, Lin Chen received a call from Mu Ningxue.
"Did you know that Bo City was in danger long ago?" Mu Ningxue's voice held a hint of resentment.
Lin Chen chuckled, "I did know some things in advance!"
"So you wanted to send me away? And after failing, you rushed to Bo City overnight, only to face the danger alone?"
Smart women are terrifying. Lin Chen started sweating when she questioned him.
After a moment of silence, Lin Chen said, "I was just worried about you. If you were alone, perhaps I wouldn't have been so worried!"
"I know you're worried my father might be a burden to me, but I want to face any difficulties with you. Next time, don't hide things from me. Also, thank you for everything you've done for Bo City!"
Lin Chen chuckled, "Bo City is my hometown too!"
"Lin Chen, is there anything you want to confess to me?" Mu Ningxue put away her tenderness and said seriously.
Lin Chen, puzzled, asked, "Confess what?"
Mu Ningxue sneered and said, "Tang Yue!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately started coughing. After a long while, Lin Chen said, "I..."
"Lin Chen, do you know, ever since we were little, I've understood you better than you understand yourself. No woman wants to share a man with another woman, but I understand you too well. I knew this day would come sooner or later, and I've already prepared myself mentally!" Mu Ningxue said calmly.
Lin Chen said helplessly, "Xue'er, I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
Mu Ningxue said, "I'm not bringing this up to hear your apology, Lin Chen. What I want to remind you is, no matter how many women you have, first, I don't want you to hide them from me. I'm telling you clearly now, I will accept everything about you, including the women outside. Second, don't find any disreputable women. Finally, no matter what, I must be the main wife, otherwise, I won't let you off even if I die!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He chuckled, "Xue'er, I agree to all your conditions. I know you've done a lot for me, thank you!"
No matter how sincere his feelings were, it couldn't change Lin Chen's fundamental nature as a scoundrel. In the end, he could only say, "Thank you!"
"Hmph, just you wait, I'll deal with you another day!" Changing from her serious demeanor, Mu Ningxue entered a playful mode.
Lin Chen's lips curved slightly upward, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Both terrible and loves to play!"
The two talked on the phone for an hour before ending the call.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and muttered, "Damn Mu Bai!"
Lin Chen didn't even need to guess to know how Mu Ningxue found out about Tang Yue. He could even roughly guess what Mu Bai had said.
"Do you know, Lin Chen has always been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!"
"Do you believe it, Lin Chen killed the Crying-winged Wolf!"
"Lin Chen is an animal, he actually hooked up with our beautiful teacher!"
Lin Chen, with a face full of black lines, hated Mu Bai to the core and secretly vowed to make things difficult for him next time.
...
Although Bo City had been reclaimed, many people had already planned to leave.
Lin Chen's classmates were almost the same as in the original story: some joined the army, others pursued further studies, all embarking on their respective paths.
Lin Chen accompanied Tang Yue back to Hangzhou. The disaster in Bo City had ended, which meant Tang Yue's mission was over, and she entered her vacation.
During her rare vacation, Lin Chen accompanied Tang Yue sightseeing during the day, and at night, the two became good teachers and helpful friends, as teaching and learning are mutually beneficial.
Half a month of pleasant time passed by like this. Tang Yue received a new mission and left, and Lin Chen also returned to the magic capital to begin his secluded cultivation.
Time flew by. A month passed in a flash, and Lin Chen chose to come out of seclusion only after practicing all his elemental magic to the advanced level.
In a good mood, Lin Chen came to the Qingtian Hunter Agency, where Lingling complained to him for not showing up for a long time.
Without Lin Chen, Lingling returned to school and became a primary school student again.
Fortunately, she could cultivate at night, and she had even replaced sleep with meditation.
Bao Old Man did not notice her unusual behavior, after all, who would have thought that a cultivation system different from magic had appeared in this World?
He had a few pleasant days playing with Lingling. While playing, Lingling didn't forget to study, and after a long time apart, many new questions popped up in Lingling's little head.
Fortunately, Lin Chen had a rich store of knowledge, like an encyclopedia in front of Lingling!
This day, just as Lin Chen arrived home, he received a call from Tang Yue.
"Little man, did you miss me!" A charming voice sounded, making one's heart flutter and feeling a tingle.
"Reporting, teacher, I did!" Lin Chen said playfully.
"Shut up, calling me that last time was your reward!" Tang Yue lightly reprimanded him.
Lin Chen, knowing full well, asked, "Yueyue, why do you hate it when I call you that?"
"How dare you ask? Being with you is the biggest stain on my professional career. I never expected that just doing an undercover mission would lead to me getting completely involved! You always call me 'teacher, teacher,' are you trying to remind me of my mistake?" Tang Yue said, gritting her teeth.
Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "No, Yueyue, why do you make it sound like I'm the bad guy?"
