“Hmm? Chen Ling~ Is your sister also very cute?”
Chen Ling shrugged in response, “She’s ugly, really ugly and deserves a beating.”
“Oh? Really… I can’t believe that. Then, is your mom very attractive?”
“My mom is pretty decent.”
“Oh~ How about your dad?”
At the mention of his dad, Chen Ling felt a shiver down his spine and whispered to her, “My dad is extremely ugly. I’m this handsome all thanks to my mom’s genes. It’s a secret, don’t tell anyone.”
“Haha?” Sui Li’er believed it for real, “Wow… your mom must be amazing.”
Chen Ling smiled, “Yeah, she’s pretty awesome.” Being able to handle their crazy dad and make him obedient, Chen Ling truly admired his mom.
Afterward, Sui Li’er stood on a starfish and said, “Shall I jump?”
“You, you have to catch me, okay?”
“Otherwise, you’ll lose me!”
Chen Ling chuckled softly at her words, “Aren’t you capable of using the Wind Spell?”
Sui Li’er: “…”
Her face clearly showed: You’re about to lose me soon! Hmph~
〚 Ding~ Target not happy, – 10,000 points! 〛
Chen Ling couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely catch you.”
“Hehe~” Sui Li’er blushed and smiled, thinking to herself, I want to jump higher!
Then she started bouncing on the huge star fish beneath her, making a “berberber~” sound.
Suddenly, with a strong push, she shot up into the air.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters—buoys kept passing by her side as she looked up at them, her face filled with a happy smile. She jumped more than 40 meters high!
People around her looked amazed, “Wow, this kid can jump so high?”
The control personnel in the area were also stunned, exclaiming, “Wow! This little beauty has broken today’s record! 45 meters!”
As Sui Li’er descended, she found Chen Ling and smiled even more happily!
With her arms open, she murmured softly in the air, “Hehe~ Lord God, here I come~” (ᗒ‿ᗕ)
Chen Ling looked up at her from the ground and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
When they first met, she had descended from the sky like this, with a smile on her face. But that time, her smile had broken Chen Ling’s heart. This time, it made his lips curl upwards involuntarily.
He gently stretched out his arms.
The last time, he used the system to stop her abruptly in front of him. This time, he wanted to reach out and embrace her.
He softly said to her, “Call me hubby, or else you’ll fall to your death.”
“Huh?”
His voice was low, but it directly echoed in Sui Li’er’s mind. While she was in a daze, she was already falling at high speed and was about to land!
At this moment, there was no time to use the Wind spell.
“Ah! My hubby! Help!”
“Hehe~ Here I come!”
Others: ??
What did she just call him? Husband?
Hello, Law Enforcement, there’s something suspicious here!
“Bang~” With a light sound, Sui Li’er fell into Chen Ling’s arms.
“Whoa~ That was scary~” Her heart was still pounding with lingering fear, but she was still very happy.
Chen Ling glanced around lightly, noticing everyone looking at him with weird expressions. Inner thoughts: What’s up? Are they jealous that I have such a beautiful wife?
A bunch of jealous onlookers.
After a while, Sui Li’er was still in Chen Ling’s arms, happily smiling…
Confused by her behavior, he asked, “Are you done playing?” Then he put her down.
She blushed, “Let’s play! One more time!”
It seemed like Sui Li’er had become addicted to the game. She had been playing with Chen Ling here before the assessment started, having even more fun than the other children. Her loud calls of “hubby” attracted envious, jealous, doubtful, and strange looks from the people around.
At this moment, in the Deep Sea Palace, two important figures arrived. They were Aries Star Leader: Chen Tianming, and Pisces Star Leader: Mi Jiu.
Naturally, they had come to seek revenge on Chen Ling for the kick he gave Aries Star Leader yesterday. As a Star Leader, if news about him being kicked like a ball spread around, it would be too embarrassing to bear.
At the same time, they had also learned from Qitian Ming about those unsightly words written in the sky above Misty Rain City, which Chen Ling had done. Those words seriously affected the city’s appearance, and they had to make Chen Ling remove them.
Yan Ran also arrived at the scene. Although she wasn’t the instructor for today’s assessment, she still came. Chen Ling had successfully piqued her interest!
Who was he, exactly? Why was his strength so formidable? What realm had he reached? How old was he?
Her curiosity was at its peak, and being an Aries, she seemed to like an adventurous and thrilling man such as Chen Ling. She wouldn’t rest until she dug out all the secrets from him.
The two Star Leaders and Yan Ran passed by each other, but she didn’t recognize them.
In order not to cause unnecessary commotion, they used spells to change their appearances and acted inconspicuously. However, Mi Jiu recognized Yan Ran.
“Em, isn’t the one who just passed by the popular and talented Aries of recent years, Yan Ran?” she asked.
Chen Tianming turned to look, curious about the person Mi Jiu was referring to. He said, “Oh, that’s true. But you are even more of a genius.”
Mi Jiu remained expressionless and ignored the flattery. Instead, he said, “The year is coming to an end.”
The Aries Star Leader nodded, “Yes, the Curse Beasts and Dark Curse Masters have been getting more active lately.”
“But don’t worry, Jiuer. When the political power is handed over, the three major star palaces of the Fire Nation will surely lend their full support to ensure a smooth transition for you.”
Next year would be the year when Mi Jiu would take control, the year of Pisces. The four elements of fire, water, earth, and wind revolved in a cycle, with each cycle lasting twelve years.
“Thank you, Brother Tianming, for your support,” Mi Jiu said calmly before looking ahead.
For some reason, she felt a strong sense of unease in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
At that moment, the voice from the loudspeaker sounded again, “The joint examination of the twelve academies is about to begin. Please, all candidates who haven’t arrived yet, gather at the South Gate within ten minutes.”
Chen Tianming’s eyes narrowed after hearing this announcement. He exchanged a glance with Mi Jiu and said, “Let’s go find him.”
Mi Jiu nodded slightly. The two of them then flashed their figures and headed for the South Gate of the Deep Sea Palace.
“Ah, it’s already time?”
Sui Li’er and Chen Ling had been playing for over three hours, but they didn’t jump too many times. Most of the time, Sui Li’er was just staying in Chen Ling’s arms.
After staying there for a while, she would then shyly jump again. They repeated this process, thoroughly enjoying their playtime.
“Shall we go now?”
“Just wait a moment~ Let me jump one more time!” Before leaving, she wanted to hear Chen Ling call her “wife” again.
“Hubby~”
Chen Ling chuckled and caught her.
“Hehe~ The secret code, the secret code~” Sui Li’er looked at him expectantly.
Chen Ling smiled and softly whispered in her ear.
Sui Li’er became extremely happy upon hearing it.
At that moment, the system suddenly displayed two messages:
〚 Ding~ Target, Sui Li’er, happiness, +1 billion points! 〛
〚 Ding~ Target, Shen Jingbing, emotional disturbance, -1 billion points! 〛
!!!
“I can’t believe it!” Chen Ling exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the system panel in front of him.
At the same time, in the Qingping Secret Realm, Shen Jingbing looked incredulously at the corpses lying on the ground in front of him.
