Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Lin Xueyin turned her head towards the direction from which the cold light had come. This time, another cold light appeared behind her, but this time it wasn't just one cold light; it was a rain of cold lights rushing towards her at high speed.

As if it had eyes in the back of its head, it raised its hand, and in an instant, a sacred protective barrier vanished from the enemy's rain of attacks.

"Hmph, a mere trifle."

"Haha, it is indeed a trivial skill. However, you are lucky today. I don't have a suitable opportunity yet, but soon, I will make your head and body say goodbye."

The man reappeared on the dungeon stairs, staring at the two girls below. A sinister, chilling smile played on his lips.

A cloud of smoke appeared out of thin air beneath the man's feet, causing him to completely disappear from her sight. Lin Xueyin reinforced the shields on herself and Irabel once more before carefully approaching the prison that was already stained with blood.

"It was Grand Duke Lofix. I never expected that he would be killed at this time."

"Hmm? I didn't expect it to be like this." Lin Xueyin frowned, unsure of what to do, after all, someone had actually killed someone right in front of her.

Irabel looked at Lin Xueyin, hoping she could revive the person, but saw Lin Xueyin gently shake her head. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and her resurrection spell was completely useless. She was truly powerless.

"Even you can't revive him?"

It was unbelievable, but I also felt that what I said was a bit too ridiculous. This kind of thing was going against the natural order, yet I took it so seriously. It was really funny.

"It's alright. Since there's no way to revive him, then let it be."

"But I'm not reconciled. The other party was in such a hurry to silence me, so this person must know something important. But at this moment, the clues were deliberately cut off. I'm not reconciled."

The girl, pouting, stomped her foot angrily and kicked a protruding rock. Tragically, it wasn't a movable stone, and the girl ended up pitifully clutching her foot and squatting on the ground.

"You silly girl, don't worry, we'll definitely find out the answer eventually."

Gently helping Lin Xueyin take off her shoes, Irabel gently massaged her slightly swollen toes, making Lin Xueyin blush. She wanted to use her skills to heal them, but was reluctant because of Irabel's actions.

“Irabelle, I can handle it myself, um, really, it’s not necessary.”

"Don't talk. Look at yourself, you're so careless."

"Okay, I understand. I won't do it again next time."

The girl, whose feet were being massaged, felt a burning sensation on her cheeks; she had truly humiliated herself this time.

At that moment, a cold gaze flashed across the shadows once more. This woman was not worthy of that lord at all; she must be killed.

Unaware that she was being targeted once again, the girl finally broke free from Irabell's grasp, put her small, delicate feet back into her white socks, and then adorably slipped them into her shoes.

“Irabelle, let’s go back. I never expected to encounter something like this.”

The ground was covered in blood. Lin Xueyin couldn't believe that such a big thing had happened and the guards inside hadn't shown up yet. There was only one possibility: the people inside had already become victims of the enemy's blades.

Volume VI: The Rebellion of Panko: Chapter Fifty-Two: The Empire Returns to Peace

With Lofiers' death, this sudden yet suspicious rebellion was quelled, and the demon who had slaughtered the entire dungeon was ultimately forgotten.

When Lin Xueyin finally learned that this was a secret technique of the demon race that could turn corpses into blood, she understood why the smell of blood inside was so strong. However, she still couldn't understand why she hadn't smelled it when she went in.

Of course, these things were gradually forgotten as time went by, and the sorrow left by the war was gradually smoothed over by time.

Everyone seems to have returned to their own lives. Whether they were former enemies, comrades-in-arms, or heroes in battle, in the end, even the most spectacular life will eventually return to the most primal peace.

Inside the sacred academy, a young girl sat on the grass under a tree, holding a book of sacred magical prayers in her hands, reading it quietly.

Pink petals from the tree gently landed on the girl's shoulder, yet she remained undisturbed.

The students around her were used to seeing this girl. She was a viscount of the empire, and the kind who had her own fiefdom. In terms of both power and wealth, she had already surpassed most of the students.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down her back, and her serene profile always stirred endless fantasies in some boys. However, the aura of a holy priest made them hesitate to approach.

A priest who can resurrect the dead, a priest who can purify most of the undead, a priest who can completely eradicate a plague that has ravaged several imperial territories—that's enough for them to look up to. How could such a person possibly be interested in an ordinary person like themselves?

With the thought that they could only look up to her and not touch her, most of the boys could only watch this beautiful girl from afar, sitting quietly alone reading the book in their hands.

Of course, this was only part of the story. A man dressed in noble attire, with a slender decorative rapier at his waist, pushed through the crowd and walked straight toward the girl, ignoring their angry stares.

"Yukine..."

The voice awakened the girl from her immersion in the magic book, causing her to furrow her brows and look at the man before her with some annoyance.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Her serene and delicate face, her slightly furrowed brows, and her crystal-clear blue pupils captivated the man, making him involuntarily immerse himself in her stunning beauty.

"I said, were you even listening to me...?"

Is this person crazy? Coming up next to me and disturbing my reading, yet staring at me without saying a word. Is this person out of their mind?

"Yes, I'm sorry, Yukine. I just wanted to invite you to the ball I'm hosting. It's like this, I..."

"Okay, that's enough. I can't dance, and I don't want to go to your ball. Also, we're not familiar with each other, so please don't call me by my first name."

Lin Xueyin's calm, even indifferent gaze made the man suddenly feel immense pressure, yet he didn't want to waste this opportunity and wanted to continue chasing after her, but Lin Xueyin turned around and glared at him, making him dare not make any further moves.

The girl, who had already stood up and left, was still glaring at the man. She now held the book in her arms to her chest, and her slightly upturned lips spoke volumes about her displeasure.

Ever since I promised the college leaders that I would no longer skip classes, there have always been people like this who appear out of nowhere to disturb my life. However, I had already made a promise to the leaders, and I couldn't go back on my word so quickly, so I could only endure it for now.

Of course, this is also because these people did not take any extreme actions; they simply extended various invitations.

Walking slowly along the narrow paths of the Sacred Academy, Lin Xueyin sighed repeatedly, only to see her two little girls walking towards her ahead.

"Sister Lin, we've come to see you."

"Sister Xueyin, we're here."

Lilia and Kassael, her two younger sisters, walked hand in hand, each carrying a lunchbox and a bottle of juice, skipping and hopping toward her.

She didn't know when it started, but the two of them had become very close, which made Lin Xueyin feel a little gratified. Taking the food box and juice from their hands, Lin Xueyin gently placed a light kiss on the smooth foreheads of the two well-behaved little girls.

"Why did you two come all this way? Didn't I tell you you could go back by yourselves?"

"It's alright, Sister Lin, it's not that far. We came here on such a huge beast, it's amazing."

She gestured with her hands to indicate how enormous it was, and described her astonishment in her childish voice. Lin Xueyin couldn't help but affectionately stroke her golden hair.

"Little girl, where are your sisters? Are they cleaning the lab again?"

Thinking of those two girls gave Lin Xueyin a headache. She didn't know why, but recently she had taken to cleaning. She not only cleaned her own house, but also her laboratory and the dormitory that the school later arranged for her.

Their diligence always made Lin Xueyin feel like she was abusing child laborers, yet they seemed content and satisfied. This made Lin Xueyin even more at a loss as to how to persuade them to enjoy life properly.

"Sister Lin, please try this. This is something that Kashar and I made together. Although it's not as good as your cooking, I still hope you can try it."

Looking in surprise at the slightly shy little girl in front of me, who was actually making lunch for me herself, I realized how adorable she was.

"Then I will enjoy it. Our Lilia and Kassael are the best."

Taking the food box from Lilia and the juice from Kassar's arms, Lin Xueyin longed to hold their hands again, but her hands were already full, and she couldn't be greedy any longer. She could only tell them not to wander off and to follow her forward.

The sunshine was beautiful, and the gentle breeze, accompanied by the laughter of the students, reached Lin Xueyin's ears. It was peaceful and serene, a feeling that made her feel as if she had returned to a university on Earth, which made her feel very close to home.

A warm smile graced the girl's face, and the two little girls behind her, like her younger sisters, followed closely behind, skipping and hopping forward.

It's wonderful to have peace restored. I truly hope the Demon King won't continue to disrupt this precious tranquility, and that all nations can live in peace together. Perhaps...

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 1 The Princess's Invitation

As time went by, the previous fervor gradually subsided, and the girl hailed as a genius holy priest was gradually forgotten. Apart from the academy and the nobility who still valued her highly, the common people only had a faint impression of her.

Lin Xueyin was very unhappy at this moment. Yes, she was really unhappy. Before, she could freely make potions or hide in the library to read books. But now, the academy knew of her existence and actually required her to study holy magic.

Do I need to learn it myself? My holy magic isn't from theirs at all, okay? Your spells, when translated, just praise some god of light, praise some goddess of life, but mine is holy light!

However, at this moment, Lin Xueyin calmly suppressed all the complaints in her heart. After all, even if the faith on this continent was not so pure, these priests or mages still attached great importance to their faith.

Bored, Lin Xueyin watched the priests practicing their attacks on the magic stones on the playground and couldn't help but yawn. However, this lazy look was caught by the training instructor.

"Lin Xueyin, although you are already a very accomplished holy priest, there is still much to learn. Don't look down on the efforts of others just because you have achieved some small successes."

Blinking, Lin Xueyin pointed at herself in disbelief. When did she become oblivious to others? Come to think of it, she had just yawned out of boredom, so how did it become arrogance in his mouth?

"Hmph, if you don't work hard, even if you've achieved some success, it's all just a passing cloud. Sooner or later, they will surpass you and become even more powerful priests."

Because Lin Xueyin and others deliberately concealed the fact that she had killed that Berserker, many people only knew about her support achievements. This teacher was extremely jealous of Lin Xueyin's current fame.

Klinsteen Namar, a highly capable teacher at the Holy Priest Academy, was also extremely jealous of Lin Xueyin. He believed that he could do the same thing she was doing, even resurrect the dead, only because the deceased were in a state of suspended animation, not truly dead. That's why she could create the illusion of resurrection.

"Teacher, I don't know what you mean, but I don't think I've done anything wrong. Please continue your teaching."

"snort...."

After all, she was a viscount of the empire, while he was just a teacher at the Holy Academy. If he had any direct conflict with her, the woman would definitely not be the one to suffer in the end.

Knowing his own situation, Klinsteen didn't mock her again. However, Lin Xueyin's words and actions only strengthened his resolve. Her so-called resurrection was merely healing those who weren't truly dead, creating the illusion of bringing the dead back to life. One day, he would completely expose this woman's deceptive facade.

Pouting, Lin Xueyin continued watching the seven students learn how to use the Holy Light Sword under Klinsteen's reprimands. This seemingly high-class name was actually not much different from the basic magic of other systems; it was a single-target attack, and the attack power was not strong.

However, for the priests of this continent, this was already one of the few means of attack. With his hands supporting his chin, he looked at the crowd on the playground. After the Holy Light Sword struck the magic stone, there was no trace of it at all.

No wonder these priests, after going out, all find positions in imperial armies or temples, rarely venturing out on adventures. With attacks like this, going out seems almost the same as courting death.

"Yukine, I'm sorry, Professor Klinstein didn't mean any harm. He just hopes you can seriously and systematically learn holy magic, instead of the unorthodox methods you're using now."

Irabel sat right next to Lin Xueyin, just like her, on the ground, showing no regard for her status as an imperial princess.

"Ah, Irabelle, did you see what just happened?"

Looking at her friend who was already sitting next to her with some surprise, Lin Xueyin scratched her head awkwardly. After all, her friend had seen her being scolded by the teacher, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I saw it all. Yukine, you don't need to be angry. After all, we just have different perspectives."

So you're telling me not to be angry, but why do you look at that Mr. Klinsteen's eyes like a sharp knife gleaming with cold light? We can't have double standards, okay?

"I know, so I'm not angry. Anyway, I know how to do all these things, so there's no need to get angry over something like this."

Lin Xueyin was quite easygoing. If you get bitten by a dog, you can't bite back, can you? Besides, although what the other party said was unreasonable, as a teacher, it seemed understandable that she was caught not paying attention in class and got a few words in response.

Lin Xueyin said that she could never fully understand human nature no matter how much she studied it, so it was better to take things in stride than to get angry about it every day.

At least, she never believed that people who are full of complaints can succeed, while those who are focused on their work and are always optimistic and positive have a chance of success.

Looking closely at Lin Xueyin's pretty face, which was calm yet tinged with a slight smile, Irabel realized that this little girl was more magnanimous than she had imagined. Therefore, she didn't say anything more, but simply took Lin Xueyin's soft hand and placed it on her lap.

"Hey, Yukine, can you come with me to my brother's birthday party tomorrow?"

"Eh? You're going to your brother's birthday party tomorrow? Well, that's not a good idea. After all, I don't have any special status, and I'm not some high-ranking nobleman. Going to your brother's place is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"You still think you're not high enough? You're a viscount, a viscount with your own territory. That's an honor not everyone can attain. By the way, have you even visited your territory?"
