Seventh Rank Archmage

Ye Chuan tore the teleportation scroll, and in the next moment, a magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

In the blink of an eye, his surroundings transformed into familiar architecture—it seemed he had been directly transported back to Yisu Town. While the princess and her allies were preparing to storm the royal capital, Ye Chuan had returned here for his own reasons.

"..."

"..."

"Welcome back, dear guest! It's you again!" At the entrance of the succubus parlor, a petite succubus recognized him immediately and greeted him with a bright smile, eagerly looping her arm around his.

"Same as usual today, sir? If you sign up for a new membership, you can enjoy a discount~~~"

"Sophia, is No. 11 available today?" Ye Chuan asked smoothly, as if he were a regular. "And No. 6?"

"They're both here~ Would you like to book them, sir?"

Ye Chuan snapped his fingers, conjuring a pouch of silver coins. "Get me the best room, prepare some fruits and incense… and a glass of premium sparkling juice."

"Right away!" The little succubus took the coins and led him to a luxurious chamber before pulling out a communication stone.

"No. 6, No. 11, a VIP has requested you. Come to my location now."

After settling onto the plush sofa, two identical, voluptuous succubi soon arrived. They bowed respectfully. "Welcome, honored guest. What service would you like today?"

"I’ve been exhausted from recent commissions. Give me a neck and shoulder massage, and you—wash my feet."

"Of course~"

Soon, Ye Chuan was immersed in relaxation—the soothing pressure of water pillows kneading his shoulders while another succubus attended to his feet with expert care. Before long, he closed his eyes and drifted into a light doze.

"By the way, I have a question." Ye Chuan lifted his head slightly, glancing at the succubus behind him. "Are succubus parlors rare? I didn’t find any in Count Kangong’s territory."

"Sir~ Not just Count Kangong’s lands, but none of the neighboring territories have them either," the busty succubus giggled as she pressed the water pillow against his neck.

"In fact, Yisu Town is the only place around here that does."

"Oh?"

"Mixed-blood demi-humans, impure elves, succubi… they’re all unwelcome in the empire and most other nations. Yisu Town might as well be called a town of hybrids—humans are actually the minority here," the succubus explained with a smile.

"Why are succubi discriminated against?" Ye Chuan asked curiously.

"Hmm…" The question seemed taboo. The succubus only offered a sweet smile before resuming her massage.

Ye Chuan enjoyed the soft, comforting service until he woke to find the two succubi gone, a blanket draped over him, and fresh fruits and drinks placed nearby.

"Haah~" He stretched with a yawn, downing the remaining sparkling water while considering whether to request a custom dream service next time.

Last time, he’d dreamed of playing games with Luo Xi, Qian Shuang, and Little Ke—though it had ended too soon, leaving him wanting more.

"Now that I’m rested, I should tackle today’s daily quest." Ye Chuan hadn’t forgotten his routine mission.

[Daily Quest: Aiser Continent

Win three times at Yisu Town’s arena

Reward: 100 Magic Crystals]

Magic crystals were another form of currency, but what Ye Chuan really cared about was the cumulative rewards—especially the chance to bring Qian Shuang back to Tianxuan Continent, plus an extra person to serve as a "sunflower tenant."

"Alright, let’s check out this so-called arena."

As Ye Chuan stepped out of the room, the little succubus hurried over. "Did you enjoy your visit today, sir?"

"Very much. My neck feels brand new." He patted her head and tossed her another pouch of coins.

"Here’s a tip for you all."

"Hehe, thank you, sir! Please come again~~~"

After leaving the succubus parlor, Ye Chuan set off to handle his business.

"Where’s the arena? Three wins shouldn’t be too hard, right?" Unsure of the competition level, he decided to gather intel at the nearby adventurer’s guild.

Ding-a-ling.

The familiar oak door swung open as Ye Chuan entered, immediately spotting the bespectacled receptionist, Eisien.

Dressed in her uniform, she adjusted her slipping glasses while organizing documents.

"Hey," Ye Chuan greeted.

The receptionist brightened upon seeing him. "Ah, Mr. Ye Chuan! We’ve received confirmation that your escort mission is complete."

"Yeah. Got a question for you."

"Looking for another quest?"

"No. I need directions to Yisu Town’s arena."

"The arena?" Eisien blinked in surprise before hesitantly replying, "That place has been abandoned for years. Why would you go there?"

"Abandoned?"

Yes. It used to be a training ground for adventurer teams, but after an incident where a rogue adventurer's out-of-control equipment killed many and wrecked the place, it was shut down.

"Abandoned…"

Then who am I supposed to fight for the wins?

"You’re going there… for a reason?"

"Let’s just say I wanted to sharpen my skills." As soon as the words left his mouth, a hand clapped onto his shoulder. "Then I’ll spar with you."

Ye Chuan turned to see a gaunt, elderly man.

"You? Old Pervert." He recognized him instantly.

"Who’re you calling a pervert? You’re the one obsessed with succubi!"

The man was the same old mage who had once tried to lecture him about magic, dismissing succubi as "pointless."

"You’ll come to the arena with me?"

"Indeed."

"Why?"

"I have my own reasons." The wiry mage thumped his staff against the floor, stroking his beard smugly.

"This is Si Daofu, an Adamantine-rank adventurer," Eisien introduced.

Adamantine-rank?

Ye Chuan did a quick mental calculation. "That’s the highest tier, right?"

"Correct. Master Si Daofu is a seventh-circle archmage." Eisien smiled.

"What?" Ye Chuan stared at the old man for a few seconds before barely suppressing a laugh. "Him?"

This guy’s on the same level as the dragonkin?

Seriously?

"I’m also an honorary elder of the Magic Tower. What’s wrong, youngster? Intimidated by my status?" Si Daofu stroked his beard, clearly expecting awe.

After all, most mages never even glimpsed a seventh-circle archmage in their lifetime.

"I don’t buy it."

Si Daofu’s smug expression faltered at Ye Chuan’s skeptical side-eye. "You—do you even understand what a seventh-circle mage represents?"

"If you’re a seventh-circle mage, why waste time in this backwater instead of making a name for yourself in the big cities?"
