Long-term monster grinding brought Lin Chen a large amount of wealth, and with Jiang Xin's channels, Lin Chen also converted some of his money into resources.
Although Lin Chen himself didn't need them, his women could use them. However, top-grade Soul Seeds were extremely rare, especially natural Soul Seeds with a Domain, which were even harder to come by.
Fortunately, backed by the Jiang family, top-tier resources could still be obtained. In this regard, Lin Chen had to acknowledge his debt to the Jiang family.
However, in all this time, Lin Chen had only received three top-grade Soul Seeds. For this, Lin Chen had paid a total of over forty small targets!
It was also fortunate that Lin Chen made money quickly; just from the Bo City battle, Lin Chen could earn a Soul Seed.
Tang Yue shook her head, a touch of emotion appearing on her charming face. She placed the vessel on the table in front of Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen, you've already given me enough. You can also use the Star Sea Heavenly Vein and the Soul Seed yourself! I don't need these. All I need is for you to come to Hangzhou and spend more time with me when you're free!"
Lin Chen laughed, "Yue Yue, I still have Star Sea Heavenly Veins. As for Soul Seeds, I don't need them even more. I forgot to tell you, all of my elemental magic comes with a Heavenly Seed!"
"What did you say?" Tang Yue asked in surprise, as if she had heard something out of a fairy tale, making it completely unbelievable to her.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm telling the truth, all of my elemental magic comes with a Heavenly Seed!"
Lin Chen's renewed affirmation immediately filled Tang Yue with envy.
Tang Yue said resentfully, "How many secrets do you still have? Every time I think I understand you enough, you always refresh my perception!"
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "There are none left. The current me in front of you is a naked Lin Chen!"
Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, saying with a look of disbelief, "Who knows?"
Lin Chen laughed heartily and handed the two vessels back to Tang Yue, saying, "Go ahead and use them. Cultivate well and strive to break through to the Advanced level soon!"
After taking the vessels, Tang Yue said sweetly, "Then I won't be polite with a rich guy like you!"
...
A few days later, Lin Chen bid farewell to Tang Yue and returned to the Magic City. The new academic year had already begun. After becoming an Intermediate Mage, one could apply to go to the main campus. The public resources in the Qing Campus were not many, and there was a World of difference compared to the main campus. Lin Chen, who lacked no resources, still followed the routine and stayed in the Qing Campus, just passing the days.
His simple and ordinary days were also very fulfilling: dates, monster grinding, missions, and occasionally returning to campus to recharge himself.
Tang Yue also successfully became pregnant. After confirming her pregnancy, she immediately suspended all her duties at the Judgment Association and quietly rested in Hangzhou. Gradually, everything fell into place.
Spring came and went, and the campus of Mingzhu Academy was like it was draped in a golden veil. The quiet lakeside was covered with fallen leaves, giving a sense of ease.
A young girl sat quietly on a wooden chair by the lake, her head bowed. Amidst the fallen leaves, she appeared somewhat lonely.
Lin Chen slowly walked over from a distance and sat down beside her.
"Long time no see!" Lin Chen said with a gentle smile that was very comforting.
The girl looked up, a faint smile appearing on her cold face.
"Yes, long time no see!"
"Why are you sitting here alone? How have you been recently?" Lin Chen asked.
Ding Y眠 smiled, "Still the same!"
Ding Y眠 selectively answered Lin Chen's question. Lin Chen smiled slightly and didn't mind, then asked, "I always see you alone. Have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Ding Y眠 was stunned and murmured to herself, "Boyfriend? Can I?"
At this moment, Lin Chen could clearly see a hint of sorrow appear on Ding Y眠's cold face!
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Lin Chen laughed!
Ding Y眠 shook her head, smiled faintly, and said no more.
For her, just being able to live well without losing control was already difficult. A boyfriend was too much of a luxury; she couldn't afford it!
Lin Chen also said no more. Ding Y眠's closed heart could not be changed by Lin Chen's brief words. The two sat quietly, watching the rippling lake water.
At this moment, silence was better than sound. The backs of the two were embedded in the beautiful autumn scenery, like a beautiful painting, full of artistic conception.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, eight months had passed. As the end of the semester approached, an unexpected person found Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, you've been at Mingzhu for two years now. Are you just going to continue like this and not prepare to apply for the main campus?" A white-haired old man said seriously.
"Dean Xiao, isn't it possible to stay in the Qing Campus for three years?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
Dean Xiao scoffed and said, "Those are all people who haven't advanced to the Intermediate level. Are you the same as them?"
After a pause, Dean Xiao continued, "I know everything about what happened in Bo City. I am very happy that Mingzhu Academy has produced a student like you, but I am very disappointed in your performance at the academy. What exactly are you afraid of? If there's anything you can't solve, you can tell me. There are some things I still have the ability to help you with!"
Lin Chen was stunned. This Forbidden Magic Master hidden in Mingzhu Academy had already seen through his strength, but seemed to have misunderstood something?
"Dean Xiao, thank you for your concern. I have my own plans for cultivation. So far, I haven't encountered any trouble that I can't solve. I just want to live life step by step!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dean Xiao looked thoughtful, his aged eyes fixed on Lin Chen. After a long while, he asked somewhat disbelievingly, "Did you really not encounter any trouble?"
Lin Chen laughed heartily and asked, "Dean Xiao, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"You and Ding Y眠 are..." Dean Xiao hesitated.
Lin Chen didn't even think and said, "We're just good friends!"
Ding Y眠 usually didn't like to socialize, but Lin Chen was often by her side. Such a change naturally couldn't hide from observant eyes.
But so far, their interaction was very pure, and it hadn't developed into a romantic relationship.
Dean Xiao nodded gently and said, puzzled, "It seems I really misunderstood?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked directly, "Dean Xiao, you wouldn't think she and I are the same kind, would you?"
Dean Xiao said in surprise, "You really know!"
"Dean Xiao, don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards her. It's just that sometimes I see my own shadow in her." Lin Chen slowly explained.
Lin Chen had memories from three lives, and sometimes he felt out of place in the All Magic World. With a hint of loneliness in his heart, his aura perfectly matched that of the equally lonely Ding Y眠. Naturally, Lin Chen could see his own reflection in her.
