Even Kaiaolen didn't expect Aurora to lose the magic duel in such a manner.
It was worth noting that an ordinary Tier 5 mage was absolutely no match for Aurora. Although Kaiaolen had initially favored Ye Chuan for having enough tricks up his sleeve to stand a chance at beating Aurora...
...seeing the scene just now made Kaiaolen change his mind. Was this guy hiding even more of his true strength?
But if that were the case, he wouldn't have been chased around and beaten up by me back then, right?
"What an elusive guy. How on earth did he reverse Aurora's magic formula? Could he have a deep understanding of the Blazing Meteor? But he clearly isn't a fire mage."
It wasn't just Kaiaolen; Princess Irena and Elara were equally astonished by the outcome.
Irena was somewhat fine with it. After all, Ye Chuan's strength was evident. Having encountered a few crises together, Irena knew exactly how powerful he was. Elara, on the other hand, never imagined that her idolized cousin Aurora would be defeated so easily.
"Teacher... is so strong. To think he could actually reverse Sister Aurora's formula," Elara sighed in admiration. This was simply a crushing defeat on the level of sheer magic power.
"Yes, Lord Xi Xi is very powerful," Irena nodded in agreement.
The magic duel ended with Aurora conceding defeat, and the news quickly spread throughout Miral. After all, Aurora was considered a famous mage in Miral, and no one expected it to end with her surrendering.
...
Meanwhile, in Kaiaolen's study.
"I really didn't expect that you could crush Aurora's magic, Xi Xi. Just how powerful is your magic?" Kaiaolen sat in his chair, feeling curious about Ye Chuan's true strength.
"Hard to say. I might just be able to one-shot you," Ye Chuan chuckled.
"Hahahahaha, what an interesting thing to say. If you really have that kind of ability, I'll give Elara to you as your wife." Kaiaolen was amused by Ye Chuan and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After all, even a fellow Tier 7 mage would find Kaiaolen, a half-dragon, to be an extremely troublesome opponent. Given his innate magic resistance, ordinary magic couldn't even scratch him.
"So, Aurora, do you acknowledge Xi Xi's power now?" Kaiaolen looked at the silent Aurora standing to the side. Her morning temper was entirely gone, replaced by a docile demeanor that made her look like a completely different person.
"He's strong, really strong." Aurora hummed in agreement, then openly admitted it.
Ye Chuan's magic was far beyond her imagination.
After the state of her magic outburst ended, Aurora had completely calmed down. Judging from the recent display, she was simply no match for Ye Chuan.
"You're a Tier 6 mage, aren't you?" Aurora looked at Ye Chuan and asked.
"Hard to say."
"Another ambiguous answer." Aurora curled her lips, but she still reached out her hand toward Ye Chuan.
"Give it to me."
"What?" Seeing Aurora's fair and clean palm, Ye Chuan paused for a moment.
"Mugwort! Give me the mugwort. Didn't you want me to eat it?" Aurora said.
Ye Chuan: "..."
Begging for the mugwort?
It seemed this girl completely misunderstood the hidden meaning of mugwort.
"It seems you don't know what that means," Ye Chuan said, crossing his arms. "But I was just joking anyway. Even though you're cute enough, I didn't actually intend to do it."
"What do you mean?!" Aurora glared at him. "Since I lost, I have to do whatever you ask of me!"
"Hurry up!"
After saying that, Aurora stepped a little closer to Ye Chuan, looking up with bright, eager eyes.
Kaiaolen spoke up from the side, "Xi Xi, that's just how Aurora is. If you really don't let her do it, she definitely won't let it go."
"Is that so." Ye Chuan looked Aurora up and down until she showed a confused expression.
"What is it?"
"Nothing." Ye Chuan lowered his head and whispered something into Aurora's ear.
"Huh?" Aurora crossed her arms. "What do you mean by the act of making babies?!"
The next second, realization dawned on Aurora, and she immediately panicked. "Wait, what you meant just now, could it be..."
"You... you... you..."
Seeing Ye Chuan nod, Aurora completely blew her top. "You actually want me to sleep with you?!"
"Yep. But I was just kidding, so let's just let it go." Ye Chuan waved his hand. "Just give me some gold coins, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."
"No!"
"Hmm?"
Aurora's face was flushed red, but she still clenched her fists and said, "I said, a loss is a loss! I'll do whatever it takes!"
"Uh..."
This is getting a bit annoying.
"I don't like small chests," Ye Chuan said.
"I-I'm wearing a binding band underneath, they are not small!" Seeing Ye Chuan's completely dismissive look, Aurora was furious.
"What, am I not pretty enough?!"
"How can you be like this? A promise is a promise! I've already agreed to it!"
"Uh..."
Seeing Aurora puffing her cheeks in anger, Ye Chuan couldn't help but feel that this girl was a bit too stubborn. After all, he was only joking around from the very beginning.
"Alright then, if you insist." Ye Chuan grabbed Aurora's wrist. She let out a sudden squeak, her whole body trembling in fright.
"What, having second thoughts?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile.
"W-who said I'm having second thoughts!"
"You look pretty scared to me."
"N-nonsense!"
"Then come with me." Ye Chuan pulled Aurora along as he walked out of the study, leaving a slightly bewildered Kaiaolen behind.
What did that mean?
What did Aurora mean just now?
Ye Chuan brought Aurora to his own room. Seeing her keeping her head down, too afraid to speak, he said,
"I told you, give me the gold coins and you still have a chance to back out."
"W-who's going to give you gold coins? Hmph, it's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before. Why are you looking down on me? Careful, or I'll beat you until you beg for mercy."
"Your reaction says otherwise."
"N-nonsense! I'm very experienced."
Seeing Aurora acting so tough, Ye Chuan found it rather amusing.
Fine.
"Wait..."
...
However, ten minutes later, Ye Chuan walked out of the room, looking slightly speechless.
Right at that moment, Elara noticed Ye Chuan and trotted over. "Teacher, so you were here. Where's Sister Aurora?"
"Sleeping in the room."
"Sleeping?"
"She was probably too tired," Ye Chuan shrugged. "We hadn't even gotten to the main event yet."
"The main event?" Elara tilted her head curiously. "What do you mean? Where did she go?"
"You can just think of it as a warm-up exercise." Ye Chuan initially wanted to explain a bit more, but seeing Elara's curious gaze, he ultimately just waved his hand.
"Forget it. When Aurora wakes up, tell her to get me some money, and we'll call it even for this time."
"Oh, oh?"
