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

She paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up with sudden realization. "Oh, I see. No wonder these people asked me about my situation so casually. I thought something had happened."

He chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and returned to his seat. He handed the book he had just found to the person and repeated the basic information he had already said hundreds of times.

Aside from asking for names, they also ask when I joined and if anyone teamed up with me. Honestly, I've said "newbie" hundreds of times, why doesn't anyone believe me? I have to repeat it myself.

"Well, has the priest been found yet?" Outside the library, some leaders of various factions within the school could no longer contain their anxiety and asked those who had returned from borrowing books.

"Yes, it is indeed the new librarian named Lin Xueyin. She is a newly enrolled student who was brought by Ailiya when she enrolled. She was able to enroll because she had a letter of recommendation from the Silver Order."

"Oh? So, that priest is now a subordinate of the Imperial Guard?"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, but then felt something was off. The Imperial Guard belonged to the Imperial Army, but they were directly under the Imperial Guard, which meant they were troops directly under His Majesty. Priests like these were usually temporarily deployed during wartime, and there was no need to recruit additional priests.

If this woman belonged to the military, then she should be on the payroll. However, it is clear that among the young priests in the Imperial Army, there is really no priest as powerful as her.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, and her eyes returned to the mage. "Is that all you found? Is there anything else?"

"Nothing for now. Her appearance was rather sudden, and we haven't investigated her at all. Based solely on today's investigation, we haven't obtained any useful information yet."

"Then hurry up and investigate. We must be quick. I'm afraid other forces are also eyeing this woman now. No matter what, we must find out about her and make contact with her as quickly as possible. We must bring her into this."

The urgent voices weren't just coming from inside this room; similar decisions were being made throughout the academy and even outside of it.

This is a high-ranking priest. Even in the entire empire, there are no more than a hundred people who can be called high-ranking priests, while the population of the entire empire is calculated in tens of billions.

The ratio is unimaginable; it is extremely rare. Many imperial armies cannot guarantee that there will be such a high-ranking priest stationed there for a long time. Unless necessary, these priests spend most of their time in the temples of the gods within the empire.

The Temple of the Gods is where the gods worshipped by the human race are enshrined, including the gods of the various elements, as well as other deities who offer prayers for hope and the future.

"Lin Xueyin?" If Aria and Lin Xueyin were watching, they would see that the arrogant Lockdak from yesterday was looking at a photograph of a magical artifact. And the photograph was of Lin Xueyin.

"Does my father already know about this woman?"

"Yes, young master, the Grand Duke said that you must do everything in your power to win her back, and if necessary, you can use some extreme measures."

Extreme measures? Hearing these words, which sounded like a royal decree, clearly told him that no matter what method he used, his father would back him up. At this point, all he needed to do was think about how to get this woman into his hands.

"What do you think I should do to win that woman over?"

My finger gently touched the girl's cute face in the photo, then lightly traced down her slender figure, lingering on certain key areas.

The more I look at her, the more I like her. She is clearly different from the women I have met before. Whether it is her temperament or her appearance, she is worlds apart from them.

"Young master, with your status and looks, you could probably strip naked and lie on your bed with just a snap of your fingers. There would be no problem."

While Lockdock was very pleased with the sycophantic remarks, he had to interrupt the other party's unfounded speculations.

"Alright, this woman is probably not that simple. We need to plan this further. You guys go and investigate what she likes, what she needs, and whether there are any weaknesses we can exploit."

As the crowd filed out, Lockdak reached for the photograph again, a triumphant smile curving his lips as he looked at the pretty girl in it.

Volume 2, Academy Chapter: Chapter 7. Could this chapter be called Chapter 7 of the Night?

"Ugh, I'm so tired, so tired..." Stretching lazily, Lin Xueyin walked back with Ailiya. Especially seeing Ailiya's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to, Lin Xueyin became even more annoyed.

Why does she have nothing to do while I'm busy day and night? Seriously, is there really no class at the Holy Priest Academy? It's been over a week already, why hasn't a teacher come to check on this student who never attends class?

"Okay, maybe it's because of exams recently, but it seems like there aren't usually that many people in the library."

"Not many yet. The number of people started to increase a few days ago, okay?" Lin Xueyin pouted unhappily, seemingly very dissatisfied with the fact that she hadn't had a few free days since arriving at the library.

She gently stroked the girl's long, smooth hair a few times, which made the girl push her away unhappily. The girl's cute appearance made Aria laugh out loud.

"Hey, Aria, can't you have any compassion? How can you even laugh like that?"

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, but I didn't expect that I would have changed so much after being away from school for so long." Aria coughed and led Lin Xueyin to the large cafeteria in the center of the school.

She was told that this was her reward for helping out, and that she should have a good meal in the cafeteria. As she walked into the cafeteria, she discovered that it wasn't what she had imagined, but rather a series of shops.

The two-story building, which occupies a large area, is simply not big enough in front of all these shops. However, a huge underground space has been created to accommodate all of these shops.

All kinds of delicacies from all over the world are presented here, and it is a unique shop that includes the most representative cuisines of the entire empire.

As soon as she stepped into the cafeteria, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but sniff, as if she could already smell the aroma inside, and a look of intoxication appeared on her face.

"Hmm, Arya, it smells really good here, let's go in quickly."

Wearing simple priest robes, they walked through the crowd. Although they were not particularly eye-catching, they were still quite noticeable, especially since they were two beautiful young women, each with their own unique charm.

One was dashing and heroic, the other pure and lovely, making passersby unconsciously fix their gazes on these two young women.

"Hey, what's this fried? It looks delicious." Lin Xueyin pulled Ailiya's hand and led her to a small stall where they were frying something. The rich aroma emanating from the stall made her unable to suppress her appetite.

"This is a delicacy from the Eastern Corius Territory; it seems to be fried fish meat from a deep-sea fish."

"Haha, you two young ladies, this is a special deep-sea cod from our area. It tastes delicious and has very few bones. Most importantly, this fish has beauty and skin-nourishing effects, making it perfect for pretty young ladies like you."

The uncle, who kept turning the fish in the pot with long tongs, explained things to the young girl who was a little unfamiliar with the food at her shop. When she took out money to buy the cod, he smiled even more broadly.

"If you like it, eat it a few more times."

Two gold coins equal two pieces of cod, and even though they were quite thick, it was still too expensive. Lin Xueyin felt a little burdened when she saw Ailiya hand over the two gold coins.

Aria knew her family's financial situation; if she continued eating like this, she probably wouldn't be able to afford it.

As she ate the cod, Lin Xueyin let out a blissful sigh, "Mmm, it's really delicious."

"If it's delicious, we'll go buy some more."

"No, no, this is fine. It'll be enough to fill us up. We can just stroll around and enjoy ourselves."

Holding Arya's hand in one hand and the wrapped cod fillet in the other, he walked inside.

"Xueyin, the dry noodles here are delicious, do you want to try some?" Arriving at the door of a somewhat simple little shop, Ailiya tightly grabbed Lin Xueyin, who was still slowly walking forward.

He pointed to the small shop that was full of people, his face showing a longing look, as if he was also looking forward to this shop.

"Okay, let's go in and have a taste." Looking at the ridiculously expensive menu inside, Lin Xueyin suddenly understood why Ailiya was so eager to come here. If she hadn't been invited this time, she probably would never have come in.

The lizard meat was sliced ​​thinly and neatly arranged on a bowl of dry-mixed cold noodles, and it was also covered with a lot of vegetables whose names were unknown, which made people's mouths water.

"Mmm, mmm, the taste is really good. This lizard meat is indeed a favorite food of nobles. It melts in your mouth, yet is exceptionally delicious."

"Ahem, Arya, when did you become a part-time food critic? You're really good at tasting food. Hurry up and eat. We can go shopping after we finish. We have plenty of time tonight. Tomorrow is a rare day off for me. I want to get a good night's sleep in my dorm. It's a promise, no coming to see me."

"Yes, yes, I'll play with you tonight, treat you to a big meal, and then I won't come looking for you tomorrow, okay?" Giving her a doting eye roll, Aria knew that this girl had indeed been a bit tired lately. For some reason, the library had suddenly become packed, and she was probably exhausted.

Soon, the two of them had finished their noodles. Aria took her money pouch and walked toward the counter, intending to pay, but the owner told her that someone had already paid for her.

"You said someone paid the bill for us?" Lin Xueyin was a little confused when she heard what Ailiya said. Was Ailiya so popular that someone would pay the bill for her when she went out?

"I'm saying, could it be that one of your suitors secretly paid the bill for you?"

Although that's what she said, Lin Xueyin felt a little uncomfortable, and her long hair, which was hanging down, cleverly concealed her complicated gaze.

"How could that be? Where would I get suitors? If you said it was you, little girl, I would believe you." Ailiya smiled wryly and patted Lin Xueyin's head.

Only a person knows their own situation. With her tomboyish appearance, how could anyone like her? Even in the Warrior Academy, many people treat her as a friend, and very few people see her as a woman.

She stuck out her little tongue, and her mood inexplicably relaxed. When she looked up again, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"I've only been here a short time, where would I find any suitors? Besides, Arya is so beautiful, she's bound to have suitors." Even better if she doesn't; she'll be mine eventually. My Crystal Palace has plenty of empty seats waiting for you to come in.

Thank you to reader @{"reader_id":"80569","reader_name":"valent"} for the panties. Um, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Alphabet, and the group chat isn't very active anymore.

Thank you all for your recommendations and monthly tickets! I will continue to write diligently and will never stop updating.

Volume Two, Academy Chapter: The Pursuit

"Ailiya, are you sure this wasn't paid for by your suitor?" Along the way, almost all of Lin Xueyin and Ailiya's expenses were paid in advance, which made Lin Xueyin a little confused.

Aria was adamant that she couldn't possibly have any suitors. However, she had only been there for a few days and spent most of her time in the library, rarely interacting with other people, so it was even less likely that she would have any suitors.

If the other party paid the wrong amount, it's a bit hard to understand why all the dozens of snack shops along the way settled their bills in advance. This amount would probably be dozens of gold coins.

Based on my previous spending in Yorktown, this is roughly equivalent to two years' worth of total expenses for a town resident. And that's for someone living quite comfortably.

And so, they walked along, but still couldn't find out who had paid their bill. When they asked the store managers, they were all vague and evasive. What was even more frightening was that each store manager described a different person.

Filled with confusion, Lin Xueyin nestled in Ailiya's arms, and the two slept soundly in her dormitory until the next day.

On the counter inside the library, a bouquet of vibrant, rose-like flowers was neatly arranged; their bright red color would likely appeal to many women.

Of course, this refers to women. Amidst the tense gazes of many people, Lin Xueyin casually put the flowers aside and called out to the two twin lolis who were still cleaning the library.

"You two are so young, yet you already have suitors like this. Next time, don't put these kinds of flowers on the counter; they take up space and look ugly."

The two little girls looked at each other blankly, and suddenly realized that they had a lot of complaints to say but they were holding them in. They felt that if they said them, they would lose.

As for the others, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt a deep sympathy for the flower giver. The girl was gentle, cute, and very pretty, but she was obviously oblivious. She couldn't even tell that the flowers were so obviously given to her.

Watching the girls help the students who came to "borrow" and "read" books find their books and register them, these boys with impure motives once again prepared to use all their skills to get closer to her.

"Sister Xueyin, do you really think these flowers are for us?" Secretly, when no one was looking, Kalier tugged at Lin Xueyin's sleeve. She watched as Xueyin turned her head and spoke to her.

"Are these for me or not? Seriously, I only know a few of you here. Who's going to be so bored as to send me flowers?" Besides, I'm here to build my own harem, not to enter the palace. If I did, wouldn't someone get beaten to death by the angry readers?

Similarly, after hearing Lin Xueyin's words, Kasha'er chuckled and pulled her sister aside. Taking advantage of the other's inattention, she said...

"Sister, don't worry about it. Don't you think it's fun? If Yukine finds out that these flowers were for her, it won't be interesting. Judging from how things develop, she's clearly the kind of person who won't give up easily."

"Little sister, this is not good. Sister Xueyin has always cared about us. Don't go too far. It would be bad if you broke it."

"Allah, sister, don't worry, how could we possibly break Xueyin? She's our most important toy." She smiled, her eyes narrowing, completely unaware of how outrageous her words were.

"Idiot, Xueyin is not a toy. She is the most important person to us, you know? Besides, she will be with us from now on."

Kasha, who had been tapped on the head by her sister, pouted, covered her head, and secretly glanced at Lin Xueyin, who was busy at the counter. A gentle smile was on her pure and lovely face.

She was the first and only person who could distinguish herself from her sister, and besides the teacher who adopted them, she was the best person to them.

As a half-human, half-demon, she mostly faced the indifference of human relationships. Only she could tell herself that no matter what race they were, they were born equal.

"Xueyin-jie, you must be tired. Let me wipe your sweat."

The obedient little girl tiptoed, took out her clean handkerchief, and wiped away the sweat that had trickled down Lin Xueyin's face from her busy work. The little girl, with a sweet smile, received a gentle kiss from Lin Xueyin, who couldn't help but place her soft lips on Lin Xueyin's smooth forehead amidst the envious gazes of the onlookers.

"Thank you, Kassael is such a good girl."

"Xueyin-jie, we brought some lunch. Let's eat together in a bit."

After a slight pause, Lin Xueyin glanced at Kalier, who was also looking at her expectantly. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she heard an unpleasant voice.

“That won’t do. I would also like to invite Pastor Lin to have lunch at the Giant Sleeping Hotel outside.”
