My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 249, Chapter 248: Learning Magic While Held in Arms; Milim Sets Off

After an unknown amount of time, the pressure on my lips disappeared.

The suffocating distance widened slightly, and Celia took a small step back, breaking free from his embrace.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was rapid.

She rubbed her lips vigorously, as if trying to erase some trace, her voice filled with suppressed excitement: "Is this—enough? Are you satisfied?!"

She stared intently at him, wanting a clear answer.

"I will take responsibility."

Gu Yuan's answer was concise and solemn, as if he were stating a given fact.

"Who asked you to take responsibility for this!" Celia almost jumped up, even more embarrassed and angry.

"What does that refer to?"

"Of course—"

Celia was speechless, momentarily choked up.

She was well aware of Gu Yuan's attitude.

"Treating everyone equally" means having no special privileges, but she insists on mastering spatial magic before Miliald, which is itself a pursuit of privileges.

The immense internal conflict tormented her, and her breathing, which had just begun to calm down, became erratic again.

Just as she was feeling confused and unsure how to continue the conversation.

Bang bang bang!

There was a rapid knocking on the door, and the disciples' worried voices came from outside: "Teacher! What was that explosion? Are you all alright?"

Celia's body stiffened abruptly. She quickly glanced at Gu Yuan, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed all her turbulent emotions, restoring her usual authoritative voice: "It's nothing! Just a small accident during the magic research!"

The disciples outside the door clearly didn't believe it, their voices filled with doubt: "But the commotion was so loud—the roof seemed to be—"

"I told you it's nothing!" Celia's tone hardened, trying to mask her guilt with assertiveness. "Gu Yuan didn't say anything, what are you panicking for? Go back to your work!"

She subconsciously used Gu Yuan as a shield, as if his silence was a form of tacit approval and protection.

As the questioning footsteps outside the door gradually faded away and finally disappeared, Celia slowly turned her gaze back to Gu Yuan.

She knew she had broken the rules set by Gu Yuan, but the price had already been paid.

She seemed determined to turn all her earlier confusion and embarrassment into bargaining chips: "Now, am I qualified to learn spatial magic with you?"

Gu Yuan looked at her with his deep eyes, unaware of the turmoil in her heart.

But seeing her clearly embarrassed yet trying to maintain her pride, he nodded: "Okay."

"Go get a blank notebook, and I'll translate and annotate it for you simultaneously."

A moment later, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly subtle.

The previous tense confrontation had dissipated, replaced by an ambiguous yet taut calm.

Celia sat stiffly in the narrow space between Gu Yuan's thighs and waist, holding a blank book in her hands, her mind in turmoil.

Why did things develop to this point?

Although Gu Yuan explained that this method made it easier for him to write immediately, correct her misunderstandings, and was the most efficient, but—

She subconsciously shifted her body slightly, trying to find a position that was less unsettling and would reduce contact.

However, this movement caused her to freeze instantly.

She could feel the intense heat and threat emanating from behind her with absolute clarity.

"6

'

Celia suddenly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if to suppress all the shame and hesitation in her heart.

Pride is shouting, but the desire to explore the unknown, the price already paid, and the quietly changing relationships ultimately converge into a do-or-die courage.

"--Oh well, I'll have to face it sooner or later."

She steeled her resolve and, instead of fleeing, seemed determined to personally measure the boundaries of this "risk," displaying a resolute, almost defiant, willingness to take the plunge.

She leaned back, her body sinking deeper and more closely, completely enveloped in that warm yet firm embrace.

The moonlight outside the window, shining through the hole in the ceiling, silently watched all of this.

Just as the two were learning magic, in the living room, Millie Alde put down her quill, raised her hand, and rubbed her throbbing temples.

Sitting opposite her, Wilmae immediately noticed this subtle movement, and a genuine look of concern appeared on her face.

"Would you like to take a break? You've been working since this morning—"

Miliald let out a breath, shook her head, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "It's alright."

She thought to herself that she must master the magic of foreseeing the future as soon as possible, so that she could be fully prepared to face other possible crises.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Milie's eyes, Wilmae nodded understandingly, but a lingering pang of heartache remained in her heart.

Her thoughts drifted away—

She has devoted herself to Gu Yuan so much and put him first in everything. When will they finally be able to walk down the aisle together?

And then there's Miss Celie—her own interpretation of "eternal beauty" inadvertently contributed to the change in Celie's relationship with Gu Yuan.

Is this right or wrong?

She couldn't help but feel confused.

Just as Vermeer was struggling with her inner turmoil, Millie Alde seemed to see through her thoughts.

She picked up her pen again, her tone calm and clear: "Just let things take their course, Madame Vermay."

"As long as Gu Yuan is happy and can move towards his goal without being distracted by these trivial matters, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, Vermeer was slightly taken aback, and then fell into deeper contemplation.

Time flowed quietly between the two, who were silently keeping each other company and lost in their own thoughts, both inside and outside the room.

The night outside the window completely faded away, and the first light of day appeared, ushering in a new day.

Almost at the same moment, the door to Gu Yuan's bedroom was gently pulled open a crack.

Seria, clutching the magic book filled with Elvish writing, hastily slipped out of it.

The blush on her cheeks had not completely faded, and her eyes darted around, revealing a barely perceptible panic.

As she walked away quickly, she subconsciously pulled down the slightly disheveled hem of her dress, as if trying to cover up any possible marks underneath.

Gu Yuan stood inside the door, watching the slightly disheveled figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, recalling the scene of the "teaching" last night.

Celia, initially tense, struggled between her thirst for knowledge and her physical instincts, ultimately succumbing to his unquestionable guidance.

"Soon."

Gu Yuan thought to himself, "Only one last step is needed to completely tear down the thin film of her arrogant facade and make her truly accept everything."

He composed himself, glanced at the already bright sky outside the window, turned around swiftly without the slightest delay, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the world of Frilian.

Almost at the same moment that Gu Yuan's figure disappeared from the main world.

The world of slimes, above the vast sky.

Using Frey's vague and fragmented words, along with the clothing that still retained an ancient aura as a medium.

Milim Nava—one of the world's oldest demon lords—has pinpointed a general location.

Her face beamed with the excited smile of someone discovering a new toy, and the black dragon wings behind her, symbolizing destruction and power, suddenly unfolded and shook violently!

"boom!"

The sonic boom cloud exploded in the air, and with a powerful aura that could make all things tremble, it rushed headlong toward the general direction of the Elf God Realm!
