“Tsk, I was just looking, just casually looking…”
Beiana reluctantly put down the +7 Reinforcement Ticket, surveyed the bustling shop, and whispered, “This whole big shop, is it all yours?”
“Not exactly…” Ye Lin shook his head slightly. “Socia from Moonlight Tavern helped, Queen Skadi gave a discount, the Alchemy Association, the Holy Order, and the Kanina Merchant Guild all have some business here. I can only say a large part of it is mine.”
“Oh~ really~”
Beiana’s eyes darted, a cunning smile flashed, and her small face adopted a pitiful expression. Her small hand tugged at his clothes, and she pleaded softly and sincerely, “Bro…”
“Hmm? What did you say?”
Ye Lin shivered, a bad premonition telling him to leave immediately, but Beiana Held onto his clothes, not letting him go, and her grip was quite strong.
“Bro, I want that, buy it for me!”
The pitiful Beiana pointed at a +7 Reinforcement Ticket, her large eyes sparkling with crystal light, and her small hand tugging at his clothes, shaking them.
“I’m not your brother, this is only our second time meeting!”
A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The mischievous Beiana indeed had her little tricks, readily acknowledging him as her brother without hesitation.
“Bro, I admit it was wrong of me to go to West Coast Magic School without consulting you, I’m sorry…”
Beiana slightly raised her voice, coupled with her pitiful expression. And since few people knew Ye Lin was the owner here, soon, unfriendly gazes were cast his way.
Beiana was very clever. Although the +7 Reinforcement Ticket wasn't cheap, it was still within the acceptable range for some Adventurers. And Ye Lin was wearing a fashion outfit, clothes with magical effects sold in the shop next door. To anyone, he looked like he had some money.
“West Coast School, isn’t this the genius sister who can learn magic?”
“Exactly, exactly, taking your sister out and not buying her anything?”
“Tsk tsk, he’s dressed quite handsomely himself…”
Just like the rumor that he drew with the Light City Lord, the “enthusiastic” customers, in a flurry of words, criticized him as an irresponsible brother, a scoundrel who only cared about his own enjoyment. Beiana’s performance was simply too good.
“Is this child your sister?”
Celia came over and touched Beiana’s small head, her eyes filled with pity. What a clever and adorable child.
“Yes, my sister, just met her.” Ye Lin’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Beiana, who was just acting spoiled with Celia, felt a chill run through her body. A formidable enemy, an absolute enemy of her life, an unprecedented sense of crisis. It seemed she had made a wrong move!
“Sister, I heard from Principal Shalan that you haven’t been studying properly and often skip classes? Is that true? Huh?”
“Uh, well… I learn quickly…”
“Under the witness of the great Magician, the Great Sage Mar, tell me, did you skip classes or not?”
Beiana’s small face puffed up, then her whole body slumped. She really didn’t dare to lie in Mar’s name.
Mar’s status in Arad was similar to Held’s status in the Demon World. Both possessed extraordinary magical realms, and although Mar had aged due to severe magical energy loss, whether he himself was dead was still a mystery…
“Skipped… I skipped classes…”
The onlookers dispersed. Rather than watching a naughty sister who skipped classes, it was better to watch the blonde beauty arguing over there.
“Skipping classes doesn’t make you a good student, so I can’t buy you a Reinforcement Ticket, but…”
Ye Lin drew out a long, lingering sound, igniting a flame of hope in Beiana’s heart, who had been lowering her head and twisting her small hands together!
“Reinforcement Ticket, want it?”
“Want it!”
“Be my mascot for one day.”
Snowman suit, pixelated head. He quickly put Beiana into it, then picked her up and threw her towards the door. The strongest emoji was complete!
“Take it off when it gets dark, and go to Celia for a +7 ticket. You only get one chance. It’s up to you whether you do it or not.”
Touching the demonic pixelated head, Ye Lin’s heart was already blooming with joy, wondering when he could bring Siate and Mai Lu over as well…
“Hey, you, come here. Which of us is prettier?”
Taylor, still angry, rolled her eyes and dragged the spectating Ye Lin over, pointing to Luo Li’an and raising her chin slightly, looking arrogant.
The reason she singled out Ye Lin was because her coin had allowed him to make a huge profit. It wasn’t too much to ask for a favor, was it? He should know what to say.
Taylor wasn’t lacking confidence in herself, but her struggle with Luo Li’an had already become white-hot and even attracted onlookers. Neither wanted to lose to the other, so naturally, she would use all favorable resources.
“Me, ah, my afternoon tea is still missing someone to pour tea for me…”
Luo Li’an smiled sweetly, her eyes fixed on Ye Lin, her right hand touching her face, hinting wildly!
“Cough, both are beautiful, both are beautiful.”
Ye Lin coughed, feeling a headache. Women were indeed unreasonable creatures, especially two extremely narcissistic ones.
“Who is more beautiful?!”
Taylor glared at him angrily, gritting her teeth and whispering, “Gold coins… although I didn’t lose, you owe me a favor.”
“My afternoon tea is missing a guest. Perhaps we can also discuss the mysteries of magic…” Luo Li’an also refused to be outdone.
Seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly intense, the gunpowder smell getting thicker, if it continued, it might not just be a clash of technology and magic, the shop would be in trouble.
“You are both beautiful, one a golden-haired princess, one the Flower of West Coast…”
Ye Lin suddenly raised his voice, not only subduing the two who were like fighting cocks, refusing to give in to each other, but also causing a moment of silence in the shop…
“But…” Another long, drawn-out sound, after building up their emotions, Ye Lin pulled the spectating Celia over and righteously declared, “This one, is the most beautiful!”
“Haha…”
“Interesting, praised them all.”
“Strong will to survive.”
The onlookers scattered like birds and beasts. Taylor and Luo Li’an also lost their previous enthusiasm like deflated balloons. They would accept this step down.
Celia smiled charmingly. Although such compliments were no longer new after reading so many love letters, not new didn’t mean she disliked them.
Luo Li’an went to Tana’s clothing store. Taylor grabbed a bottle of juice and sat to the side, “gulp, gulp, gulp,” drinking the juice with a heroic air, making it seem like strong liquor.
Crafting weapons cost money, and she didn’t have much gold left, so she might as well work here. Celia said she would provide food but not lodging, which could save a lot on meal expenses.
“Mo Mei, come with me for a moment.”
“Boss, what is it?”
Mo Mei, full of enthusiasm, had just finished organizing the shelves and responded with a smile.
“Go to the back warehouse, and demonstrate your professional ability.”
“Boss, that… alright.”
Mo Mei hesitated slightly but still nodded, following Ye Lin towards the warehouse, somewhat embarrassed and awkward, saying, “Boss, I’m very afraid of pain…”
“Afraid of pain? That’s normal.”
In the empty space of the warehouse, Ye Lin looked at Mo Mei with interest, wondering how her so-called special cultivation direction was special.
“Boss, give me your hand.”
Mo Mei grabbed his wrist, and strands of Nen petals slowly floated down. Three petals landed on his arm, forming a three-petal flower on the surface of his skin.
“Boss, these are the three great mysteries of the Nen Master. Not only can they provide amplification effects, but with this, you can freely enter and exit my domain.”
“Your domain?”
Mo Mei didn’t speak, but clenched both fists. Nen energy quickly surged from her feet, and a huge golden-yellow energy shield suddenly rose.
“Hehe, I’m afraid of pain, so I’m quite skilled at using the Nianqi Shield…”
She awkwardly touched her bun, her face flushed with shyness.
Ye Lin, with a blank expression, tried walking around inside, his gaze towards Mo Mei becoming increasingly strange.
A super Nianqi Shield with a ten-meter diameter and one-meter thickness—this was called “quite skilled”?
He knew nothing about Nen, yet he could actually touch tangible Nen. This one-meter thickness was simply incredible.
“Mo Mei, have you ever considered gathering all this Nen energy into a single Nen blast and unleashing it at once?”
“No, should I try?”
“No, no, you’re qualified. Don’t blow up the warehouse.”
