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

"Huh? How come I don't know him?" She looked at the uninvited man in surprise. He looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

"So, beautiful lady, I now extend an invitation. Would you do me the honor?" It's obvious which would be better to have a lowly lunch with two lowly half-human, half-demon hybrids, or to go out and enjoy a delicious meal with me.

"Kariel, what kind of lunch did you bring? Tell me first, don't disappoint me."

"Eh? Xueyin-jie, aren't you going out to eat with this gentleman?" Lin Xueyin looked at her expectantly, but Kalier was a little confused. The food she brought was the most ordinary food, even the kind that commoners rarely ate.

"Of course I'll eat with you guys. Even if you had invited me first, or even if he had arrived first, I couldn't just accept an invitation from a stranger."

After patting the two somewhat aggrieved people, Lin Xueyin turned her gaze to the uninvited man.

"I'm sorry, I already have plans, and I don't think we're at the point where we can have a meal together."

A direct refusal, without the slightest hesitation; how could a grown man accept such a clearly ill-intentioned dinner invitation?

He paused for a moment, seemingly taken aback by the other person's words, but he didn't press the matter further. "I was really being presumptuous. Since the timing isn't right this time, I'll invite you again next time."

"Huh? There's a next time? You won't have time next time either, so don't invite me. We're not that close."

Although he was verbally rejected, the man remained polite. "How can you say we're not acquainted? I am Lockdak. We've met before. You saved my men back then, so I should give you something in return."

Volume Two, Academy Chapter Nine: Persistence

If the bouquet of roses on the first day was a sudden surprise, then what appeared every day was what made Lin Xueyin somewhat conflicted. Even a fool could understand who the other party's target was.

Rain or shine, she places these vibrant flowers in front of the counter where she stands every day. Even the most hard-hearted woman would be moved by that. Of course, this only applies to women.

Lin Xueyin, annoyed for the N+1th time, swept the flowers into the trash can to the side, wanting to throw these people who sent flowers for no reason outside to calm down. Really, don't they know how much burden this brings them?

We have to clean up this garbage every day, and one garbage bag isn't enough. You guys are so rich, why don't you give me some extra skills?

"Ta-da! Xueyin-jie, look what good stuff I brought you—your favorite cookies!"

He placed some cookies wrapped in a handkerchief on the table that Lin Xueyin had cleaned. Thanks to her, many people no longer looked at him with the same discriminatory eyes as before. Perhaps it was because he wanted to maintain a good image in front of the beauty.

However, Kaliel and Kashael were not happy, especially since everyone kept bringing flowers, gifts, and even dinner invitations to Lin Xueyin. Although she rejected them all, who could say that she might be moved by someone someday?

Her fair, delicate hands gently picked up a cookie she had made herself, and with her lips slightly parted, she carefully took a bite. Her soft, pink lips, constantly moving, were so alluring to everyone.

"Miss Lin, would I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

Another one. Lin Xueyin covered her forehead, wishing she could smash her head against the wall and die. What sins had she committed to deserve this trouble?

"Are you ever going to stop? I've already said I won't accept your kindness, and I certainly won't have dinner with you. So don't waste any more time on me."

He took Kariel's hand and pulled her behind the counter, then knelt down to help her straighten her clothes, which were a little disheveled from the intense exercise.

A virtuous, gentle, beautiful, and powerful priestess—how could a young woman with so many virtues not attract men's attention, though of course, this would also bring unnecessary trouble?

Lin Xueyin's soft and cute voice did not deter men in the slightest; instead, they perceived it as a girl's shyness. Therefore, even when Lin Xueyin repeatedly rejected them, people continued to pursue her relentlessly.

The library at night is quiet, even quieter than during the day. There is no more noise or irrelevant people, only Lin Xueyin and the two twin girls sitting face to face.

"So, you two have been lying to me all along?" Lin Xueyin raised her eyebrows as she heard the other person's dry laugh.

"Haha, that doesn't count. You were in such a hurry to leave back then, we didn't have time to tell you, we didn't have time to tell you."

While Lin Xueyin wasn't looking, she glared at her younger sister. She had accidentally let slip that the library had meals available, so she didn't have to go to the dormitory every day to eat.

"Then why didn't you tell me while I was working?"

He didn't believe it; his eyes were full of disbelief. These two little girls in front of him were really naughty and should be put in a dark room to discipline them. Hmmm, looking at these two little girls with black hair and red eyes, could he really bring himself to do it?

"Ahem, maybe, there might be other things they do." Lin Xueyin turned her head to the side. The two little girls' current expressions of rudeness made Lin Xueyin too embarrassed to say anything harsh to them.

"Sister Xueyin~~~~~" The tender, light voice rang in my ears, making the listener feel refreshed and happy.

He stroked the little girl's soft, long hair tied in twin ponytails with one hand. "Kariel, there's no point in saying more. Explain yourself properly."

With a snort, Kaliel turned her head to the side. "We're clearly twins, so why can you tell us apart? Why don't you say it's the younger sister?"

"It's so obvious, how could you not recognize it? Okay, stop being stubborn, I won't ask anymore, alright?" Lin Xueyin affectionately pinched the little girl's delicate nose and then turned her gaze to her younger sister, Kasha'er, who was standing to the side.

"Sister Xueyin, why can you see so clearly when others can't recognize me?" Mengmeng blinked her big eyes at the girl who was a little flustered by her stare.

Kasha chuckled to herself. This young lady was clearly the type with extremely thin skin; she would blush and feel hot if she stared at her for too long.

"Alright, alright, why are you saying so much? Honestly, let's go back to the dorm." Feeling a little embarrassed by their stares, Lin Xueyin stood up reluctantly. She had actually been forced into a helpless situation by two little girls, which was simply a disgrace.

The two little girls chuckled to each other, making Lin Xueyin's blush even more pronounced. Feeling indignant, she quickly turned and left the library, only to hear two clear laughs behind her.

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing. To be driven to this point by a loli is a disgrace to transmigrators." Thinking about it, he had been in this Tianluo Continent for quite some time now, but his Crystal Palace was completely empty.

No, there was one person who actually ran away halfway through, leaving himself behind, and refused to admit that the other person didn't like him and dumped him.

Then there's Arya. Although they slept together, she clearly only saw him as a very good friend, not in that kind of relationship at all.

He sighed helplessly. He had finally found two soft-spoken, lithe, and easily pushed-over lolis, but instead they stood on his head. It was simply outrageous.

"Ugh, I can't live like this anymore..."

"There's a way. Just come with us and you'll naturally find a way to make a living."

A chilling laugh reached Lin Xueyin's ears, causing her to freeze in shock. Without turning around, she quickly ran forward.

"Oh, little girl, you're quite calm. But do you think you have a chance to escape?"

In an instant, streaks of icy light pierced through the night wind, hurtling towards the girl running ahead.

The ripples that spread out rendered the attack futile, but they did slow Lin Xueyin's progress. As she watched the masked man leap in front of her, a bead of cold sweat slowly dripped from her forehead.

Volume Two, Academy Chapter Ten: Kidnapping and the Princess

The two stared intently at each other. Lin Xueyin looked at the dagger in the other's hand and couldn't help but swallow hard. How could she have encountered a thief? This kind of high-burst, high-output class was a natural enemy to her, a priest.

"I hope you'll come with me obediently. That way, it'll be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. If I were to scratch your pretty little face, many people would feel sorry for you."

"Tch, I don't know if you feel sorry for yourself, but coming here is just asking for death." As he said this, he prepared to cast a shield on himself, but he found that his magic seemed to be imprisoned by something, and he could not mobilize the magic power in his body at all.

Damn it, what's going on? Lin Xueyin, who has always had a smooth journey, is now showing her weakness as a newbie. Lacking practical experience, she is starting to waver.

Two cold glints reappeared behind her, a knife and a sword thrusting fiercely at her back. Startled, Lin Xueyin dodged the sneak attack in a sorry state.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Her trembling voice and disheveled appearance told everyone around her just how nervous this girl was.

"I told you, as long as you come with us obediently, we will never hurt you. We are just here to kidnap you."

Before they could finish speaking, the man wielding the dagger lunged at Lin Xueyin, the sharp blade slicing through the girl's elegant priest's robe, revealing her fair skin beneath.

After dodging again in a disheveled state, Lin Xueyin's breathing became erratic, and her terrified eyes were fixed on these people, preventing them from launching another sneak attack on her.

"Last chance..."

"Enough with the nonsense. Break this woman's legs and hand her over to her employer. Stop babbling on and on, or the academy guards will come patrolling."

A rough-spoken woman spoke angrily, her weapon flashing without pause as she aimed a knife fiercely at Lin Xueyin's innocent face, which she found extremely offensive.

Retreating and dodging, constantly avoiding the opponent's attacks from all sides, there was absolutely no time for me to retrieve my staff. Bare-handed, I had no chance to retaliate.

Each cut was fatal; in the blink of an eye, several wounds had been made on the tender skin. Although they were not very deep, they still left marks.

Damn it, I can't keep doing this. If I keep hiding, I'll definitely be caught off guard by the opponent because of my lack of stamina. Although I have many strong attributes, attributes are attributes. I'm still just an ordinary mortal body, not some invincible shield or iron shirt.

As her stamina dwindled, Lin Xueyin grew increasingly anxious. If she couldn't break the deadlock as quickly as possible, she feared she would be doomed.

The more chaotic her mind, the easier it was for her opponent to catch her movements. With a slight slowing of her steps, a cold glint flashed, blood splattered, and her thigh was swept by her opponent's horizontal slash. The girl, kneeling on the ground, seemed to have resigned herself to losing all resistance.

"Hmph!" The cold blade light was getting closer and closer to the girl's desperate face. The female swordsman, who had always found Lin Xueyin an eyesore, sneered and wished she could chop her to death with one blow.

However, a longsword blocked the deadly blade at that moment. The man with the dagger then saw a knowing smile appear on his prey's face.

A sense of foreboding washed over him as he watched the female beast, who appeared to be fighting like a cornered animal, grab the ankles of her two teammates and, with all her might, swing them at the man with the dagger, much to their horror and disbelief.

"Damn bastard..." The rough woman's voice was filled with resentment and anger. In mid-air, she used her battle qi to stabilize herself. She then saw a limping girl running frantically into the nearby woods.

Blood dripped continuously from the gaping, gruesome skin, and she bit her lower lip tightly. If she could see her face, she would notice that it was gradually losing its color.

The approaching voices behind her told Lin Xueyin that she didn't have much time left, but she still couldn't use magic.

"Alright, I know I have to go back now, so you don't need to follow me."

A cool, indifferent voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion, reached Lin Xueyin's ears in this desperate situation.

Although she knew that appearing beside that person might lead her into a trap, it was the only straw in her despair, and her body realistically rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

The cold light, like a bolt of lightning, slashed down on the unsuspecting girl, who was already filled with hope, leaving her only enough time to cry out, "Help!"

The silver ribbon had already enveloped her, and crimson blood splattered into the dark forest. Behind the cold light, a ferocious, scarlet eye stared intently at the girl who was lunging forward.

"Hmph, let's see if you live or die."

"Damn it, our goal is to capture her alive! Capture her alive! You just killed her! What are we going to tell you?" The dagger-wielding man cried out in horror as the girl lay dead in a pool of blood.

My mission was to kidnap her, not kill her. Besides, killing her might feel good now, but killing someone at Tianluo Academy would mean being wanted by that legendary archmage all over the world.

He was about to utter a curse, hoping to relieve his inner tension, but he swallowed the breath, staring in horror at the girl who should have died there, and stood up once again.

"Cough cough, only half of my health is gone. Seriously, I didn't expect the opponent to land a critical hit."

Before him lay a sea of ​​blood, and he slowly made his way, step by step, toward the place he remembered from which the sound had come.

In their terror, the group completely forgot what their mission was. Despite their seemingly fatal injuries, they were still able to get up and run. Was this a zombie? Or was that woman really a monster or an undead?

Little by little, step by step, they finally reached the edge of the forest. In the crimson light, they could vaguely see several soldiers surrounding a person and rushing towards them.

The powerful enemies behind her seemed to have noticed the presence of others and were gradually retreating. Just before everything went dark, Lin Xueyin, who had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, heard the other party's exclamation and the words, "Princess, be careful, there may be danger here."

This isn't considered torture for the main character, since it introduces another storyline and another character, hehehe.

Volume Two, Academy Chapter: Chapter Eleven: The Ice Princess

The bright sunlight shone on the girl sleeping on a European-style princess bed. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and her azure eyes slowly opened, only to close again as the bright sunlight shone through.

"You're awake?" A very well-dressed woman stood by the bed, looking at him expressionlessly, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Beautiful, and cold—that was the strongest impression the girl left on Lin Xueyin at that moment. Her slender fingers gently brushed against her side.

Her delicate skin and beautiful curves brought a faint ripple to her face, which disappeared beneath her calm expression without the other person noticing.

"Who are you? Why are you so badly injured and collapsed on my way back to the dormitory?"
