During dinner, Ye Jiu and Luo Rui'an ate face to face. After confirming that the other party's emotions had stabilized, she asked curiously, "Can I ask you how you got them to do that?"
After saying that, she immediately added, "I'm not trying to do anything, I'm just curious. These places are clearly protected by magic, so how come you... um, theirs."
Lorian put down his knife and fork, looked up and met her gaze. "It's... a talent, a succubus's racial talent."
As soon as he said that, Ye Jiu immediately understood. She had also seen it in a book, but she didn't expect that Luo Rui'an had also inherited this talent. Ye Jiu smiled and said, "People usually use this talent to seduce others, but you are different. However, it is quite effective."
Succubi are not skilled in magic, but they are born with the racial talent of allure, which is the key to their ability to seduce people. Ye Jiu didn't think much of it at the time, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
"That's good, it's a trump card, you could say. It seems you've inherited the best of both succubi and elves; magic combined with your racial talents can make you incredibly powerful!" Ye Jiu nodded, popping a piece of steak into her mouth. "The steak is so delicious today!"
Lorrian chimed in, "I'll hide it well."
...
Ye Jiu then asked someone to find out who had hired this group of people, and received an unexpected yet reasonable answer—Simpra.
No wonder she was in such a panic that day; she was eager to catch the lone Luo Rui'an. Usually, Luo Rui'an and she were like conjoined twins, rarely acting alone. She had finally found a rare opportunity to catch him alone.
She now completely understands Vivian's feelings. If you call her ruthless, she doesn't dare to confront the real culprit, and the methods she uses aren't sophisticated either.
Extremely petty, Ye Jiu clicked her tongue in surprise. Was it because he had beaten her back then? That she could still hold a grudge against him.
The current result is that everyone involved that day was injured and had to take leave. Simpra was so scared that she didn't dare to come to class for several days. I heard that she was indeed sick because of a fever. Ye Jiu originally planned to get a little revenge on her, but who knew that she would scare herself to death.
The happiest person in this whole affair was Vivian. During a break between classes, she came to tell Ye Jiu about Simpra's unfortunate experiences, which made her so happy that she ate two extra bowls of rice.
...
Ascaria is a city where you can't tell the seasons; the climate is mild all year round. If it weren't for the endless final exams, Ye Jiu has no doubt that he might have lost his sense of time.
It's already the second semester of fifth grade, and Ye Jiu and Luo Ruian are about to celebrate their eighteenth birthdays, but their practical assignments come even earlier than their eighteenth birthdays.
"Go to the secluded forest to find the materials to make purified water, and successfully make it. Hand in the finished product in this class next week." Aurora said with a smile, speaking the devil's words.
The students in the classroom were all groaning. Actually, making purified water for this practical assignment wasn't that difficult. The difficulty lay in finding the materials to make it. And, to make matters worse, Aurora's family was the largest herbalist in Ascaria, and she had already ordered all merchants to stop selling the materials for making purified water for a week.
Vivian's vision went black upon hearing this. She was already bad at potion-making, with a high failure rate, and now she was even deprived of the opportunity to buy herbs to practice!
Ye Jiu also cast a pitying look at her, "Good luck. If it really doesn't work, I'll give you all the extra herbs I find."
Vivian gripped Ye Jiu's sleeve tightly, but before she could speak, she felt a chill on her body. Realizing the death stare from someone, she decisively let go and looked at Ye Jiu with teary eyes, "Thank you! You're such a kind person! I hope Teacher Aurora can go easy on me, after all, she knows my level."
Ye Jiu stood up and patted Vivian on the shoulder, "Well, I believe that Teacher Aurora is beautiful and kind-hearted and won't fail you."
"Hopefully," Vivian sniffed. "No, Professor Aurora is beautiful and kind-hearted, she'll definitely let me go!"
Because of the assignment Aurora gave, everyone spent the following week taking time to run into the secluded forest.
The secluded forest is only 20 kilometers away from the Celt Magic Academy. It only takes 10 minutes to get there using flying magic or a magic carpet. After dinner, the students head to the forest to find the herbs they need.
However, due to the vastness of the forest and the extremely demanding requirements of the growing environment for the most important herb for purifying water, very few people have been able to find all the necessary materials.
Unfortunately, Ye Jiu was one of them.
This was their fifth visit to the Quiet Forest this week. Ye Jiu was accompanied by Lorian, but even with Lorian's half-elf genes and his extremely high affinity for wood elements, he was still unable to sense where it was growing.
Ye Jiu leaned against a tree trunk. "This Cleansing Herb is so hard to find! No wonder it's so expensive. Okay, I'll never complain about its price again."
Lorien handed her a water bottle. "Don't rush, take your time, you'll find it eventually."
The once slender Lorian has now become a handsome man standing at 180cm tall with eight-pack abs. His eye sockets have also become deep-set like those of a Westerner, and even his affectionate fox-like eyes appear affectionate and devoted.
Ye Jiu drank water while looking him over, marveling at how much a boy can change as he grows up. Who would have thought that boy would grow up to be like this?
However, Ye Jiu was not inferior at all. Standing at 178cm, she did not appear weak at all when walking side by side with him.
After finishing her water, Ye Jiu twisted the cap off the bottle, sat down to rest, and patted the empty seat next to her to signal Luo Rui'an to sit down and rest as well.
"You've been walking for so long, why don't you sit down and rest for a bit? Once you've regained your strength, you can continue searching."
Lorien sat cross-legged. "How strange, I haven't seen a single Pure Grass."
