Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 36 Deep Sisterly Affection

Pushing open the door that read "Closed Today," Bai Mo entered the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

The hall was spacious, and the kitchen door at the back was open, with the sounds of cooking coming from inside.

A little girl with pigtails was sitting on a long sofa, playing on her laptop.

Bai Mo went over and sat down, glancing at her screen.

It was covered with densely packed diagrams and lines, making you not want to look at it again after just one glance.

So I asked:

"What are you looking at?"

"The growth trend of different types of demons in Shanghai." Lingling kept her eyes on the screen and spoke in a clear voice that was not in line with her age.

"Why are you looking at this?"

"I can't stand childish stuff!" Lingling's expression was exactly the same as his sister's—completely expressionless.

Bai Mo paused for a moment, then asked, "Lingling, how old are you?"

"Nine years old." Lingling looked away, glanced at him, and as if she knew what he was about to say, added, "I'm a genius, and I'm not childish."

"I didn't say you were childish, I just wanted to say happy birthday!"

Bai Mo took out the prepared bracelet from his pocket and handed it over.

"Hmm..." Lingling glanced at the bracelet and immediately recognized the silver patterns on it as spatial array patterns, so it was a spatial equipment.

She reached out and took it, then skillfully pressed a silver protrusion on the bracelet, immediately knowing what was inside.

Bai Mo knew that it was a mind-based magic array, the function of which was to connect with the user's mind, allowing ordinary people who were not mages to control spatial equipment and access items.

"Candy?!" Seeing what was inside the spatial bracelet, Lingling smiled contentedly.

"Not bad, I'll accept this as a token of my respect."

"?" Bai Mo typed a question mark. You have no martial ethics.

Do you still want to be treated like an elder on your birthday?

Lingling took out a lollipop, and while tearing open the wrapper, she said:

"I'm your teammate, and my hunter rank is higher than yours, so according to the rules, I'm the team leader."

She shook the bracelet she was already wearing on her wrist and continued, "This is your tribute, you rookie team member, to me, the master captain."

"..." Bai Mo was speechless, then asked, "Where's your sister?"

"Cooking in the kitchen."

Bai Mo reached out and ruffled Lingling's hair. "Still saying you're not a child? How childish!"

After saying that, he immediately vanished like a gust of wind.

Upon entering the kitchen, one sees a graceful and beautiful figure.

Today, Leng Qing was dressed in a loose, casual outfit, which made her look less aloof and more warm.

The door faced Leng Qing's side, and her legs appeared long and slender thanks to the loose-fitting trousers. The soft fabric also accentuated the fullness of her thighs. Her top was similarly loose, yet it couldn't conceal her ample bosom.

It would be nice to wear an apron, but just wearing an apron is also fine.

"Keep looking! You can stand here all day." Leng Qing's icy voice brought Bai Mo back to his senses.

Sensing the increasingly dense darkness surrounding him, Bai Mo's expression stiffened. His gaze instantly became clear and pure, devoid of any impure thoughts. He calmly said:

"Sister Leng Qing looks so beautiful today, I was mesmerized for a moment. I'm leaving now, I won't disturb Sister Leng Qing while she's cooking."

After saying that, he slipped away again.

Unlock one CG image.

The lunch was simple, consisting of five dishes and a soup, all home-style stir-fries.

Old Bao came downstairs, got some food, gave Lingling a dark, unidentifiable object, glanced at Bai Mo, and said:

"You guys continue, I'm going back upstairs."

He then carried a small bowl upstairs by himself.

Bai Mo glanced at Leng Qing and Lingling with a puzzled look. The two of them had natural expressions, as if they were used to it.

Strangely, this family doesn't seem normal at all.

However, when he saw Leng Qing bringing up the finished cake, he changed his mind.

The older sister is perfectly normal.

"Thank you, sister." Lingling blew out the candles, took the first piece of cake Leng Qing cut for her, and said crisply.

"You didn't get to celebrate your birthday this year, but I'll buy you a cake next year." She paused, as if feeling that this wasn't enough, and then emphasized, "Buy the best one, have the top chef from a four-star tire restaurant make it."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing simply smiled and replied with an "okay."

Bai Mo smiled when he heard this.

When I watched the French drama before, Lingling was calm, wise, and mature. She was a genius who was far beyond her peers.

But after getting to know her, Bai Mo realized that calmness and wisdom were only one side of her.

In her daily life, she still possesses the naivety and competitiveness of a child under ten years old.

It's just a pity that children are more fun when they're a little silly; Lingling is too smart.

"Sisterly love!" Bai Mo exclaimed, reaching out to take the cake from Leng Qing.

I took a bite, and it tasted surprisingly good.

……

"How does it taste?"

Watching her cousin Mu Nuxin take a bite of the stir-fried green peppers and eggs she had just cooked, Mu Nujiao asked expectantly.

Ai Tutu, standing next to her, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I even cracked this egg!"

Mu Nuxin glanced at the two people, then at the somewhat blackened "stir-fried green peppers and eggs" on the plate.

After a moment of silence, she told the truth: "It's not good. How about we order takeout for lunch? Cousin, why did you decide to cook?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu exchanged a glance.

Bai Mo had personally cooked for the two of them when he invited them to his home last time.

They thought they should do the same when they were hosting this dinner, but clearly they didn't have the talent for it.

So the two of them readily accepted the suggestion and decided that it wouldn't be shameful to invite someone to dinner that night.

"What kind of code are you using?"

Distracted by her cousin's question, Mu Nujiao snapped out of her reverie and said, "Then let's order takeout."

As for dinner, let the cook do it.

That evening, Bai Mo sat at the dining table in Mu Nujiao's house, looking at Mu Nuxin and Aunt Song Qingyuan who were smiling at him, as well as Mu Ye, the head of the Mu family, who was standing next to them.

With the same smile on his face, he felt as if he were practicing his mental strength by striking a wooden fish in Jing'an Temple, an invisible pressure pressing down on him from nowhere.

Wasn't this supposed to be a relaxed and enjoyable ordinary dinner? Why does it suddenly feel like I'm heading to a trap?

While answering some of Song Qingyuan's questions, he glanced at Mu Nujiao, who was silently dealing with the food in front of her, and Ai Tutu beside her.

Wasn't this just a simple date and a treat?

What's going on?

How did I end up meeting your parents? I haven't even done anything yet. Besides, I already said we're just classmates.

Why doesn't Aunt Song believe it?

And that Ai Tutu, why don't you look at me for a second? You usually like to peek at me, what's wrong now?

That beef bone in front of you smells so good.

After exchanging toasts, Bai Mo put down his cutlery.

"Aunt Song, I've finished eating. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now."

"Oh, won't you stay for some tea?"

"No, I still need to cultivate when I get back. As I just told you, I just formed a contract with a summoned beast, and there are still many things I don't understand."

"That works too. Tell your mom we're going to play mahjong at our usual spot tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo paused. Aunt Song was his mother's mahjong partner?! How come he didn't know that?

Oh, Zhuang Xingyan has too many card-playing friends; he's too lazy to remember them all.

So he smiled and said:

"it is good."

At this moment, Mu Ye, who had been silent, spoke up:

"Nujiao, go see him off."

"Huh?! Okay."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao was startled for a moment, then recovered and stood up.

He glared at his cousin again, thinking he shouldn't have let her come today.

Then he pulled Ai Tutu and followed Bai Mo out.

Mu Nujiao never expected that her parents, who were rarely home, would come back for dinner tonight, even though she had asked them a few days ago that they wouldn't be coming back.

Later, I realized that Mu Nuxin had overheard what I was saying to the cook.

I don't know what she said, but she actually got Mu Ye to bring Song Qingyuan home.

Didn't they always think their daughter was a third wheel and an obstacle to their relationship?

This arrival immediately disrupted Mu Nujiao's thoughts, and she was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Now, the cool breeze outside has made me feel much more awake.

"Now explain what happened. Is this how you thank me?" After walking a little further, Bai Mo stopped and asked Mu Nujiao, who was following behind.

A faint blush appeared on Mu Nu's pretty face, though it wasn't very noticeable at night.

Ai Tutu bluntly replied, "We've already introduced you to our parents, but marriage is...it'll have to be when you're older!"

Bai Mo rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. He knew this girl was probably imagining all sorts of strange scenarios again.

They had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

He raised his hand and flicked his forehead, saying:

"Having a meal with your elders, how does that become meeting the parents? And those aren't even your parents, let alone getting married? I think you've lost your mind, you need to wake up."

After saying that, he looked at Mu Nujiao with a questioning look in his eyes.

Taken aback by her adorable sister's bold words, Mu Nujiao thought for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I originally just wanted to invite you to dinner, but somehow my cousin found out. She said something to my parents, and they came back."

She blinked and added, "Don't overthink it."

"Really? I thought my dream had come true, that you were all my girlfriends." Bai Mo said, feigning surprise.

"Pah!" Ai Tutu immediately spat. "You wish! We're not even adults yet."

"TuTu!" Mu Nu was both embarrassed and annoyed, and slapped Ai TuTu across the face. What did that girl mean?

Is it enough to be an adult?!

At the same time, she calmed her expression and turned to Bai Mo, saying, "We'll stop here. You can go back now."
