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

"Xueyin, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you." Just as Lin Xueyin was struggling with whether it would be more comfortable to take off her clothes or not, she heard someone push the door open and come in.

Although it was a familiar voice, it was still a little annoying to be disturbed at this time. However, Lin Xueyin, who turned around, still showed a gentle and lovely smile.

“Irabelle, you’re here. But it’s not me who’s injured, it’s these two little girls. Perfect, I was planning to cook for myself later anyway, since I have a simple kitchen in my bedroom where I can cook for myself.”

"You cooked it yourself?" Just like the two little girls, although her face showed no emotion, her tone revealed a strong distrust, which made the confident Lin Xueyin feel even worse.

"Hmph, I'm going to invite Aria later. If you're so capable, then you can skip eating later."

She stomped her foot angrily, sorted out all the materials, and then handed the mana restoration potions she had already made to Irabel.

"Here, these are 10 high-grade mana recovery potions, and two perfect-grade mana recovery potions for you. Now, I don't owe you anything anymore."

Looking at the mana restoration potion in her hand, Irabel looked at her uncertainly. It wasn't until she learned that the other woman wanted her to deliver the potions to her older brother that she understood what was going on.

"Xueyin, didn't I give you these materials yesterday? How come you finished them today?"

"Of course, you don't even know who made the potion. I've left a few bottles here as backup, just in case I need them."

Knowing that Lin Xueyin was also a priest, Irabel nodded in understanding. Little did she know, Irabel had already planned to find an auction house and sell all the remaining perfect-grade mana recovery potions to get money to improve her skills.

I've been quite lazy lately, and haven't leveled up any new skills in a long time. I haven't even leveled up the Holy Shield skill to level one yet. This isn't a good thing.

Time flies, always slipping away in the midst of busyness. Before she knew it, Lin Xueyin had almost finished making those sacred potions. Irabel, watching her swift drug-making speed, couldn't help but feel happy for her friend.

"Xueyin, are you done?"

"Yes, everything is ready. The holy potion your brother wanted has been prepared. This is for him, and the two extra bottles are for you."

Looking at Lin Xueyin with some surprise, he realized that this was no ordinary potion. The Divine Guardian Potion could make a person immune to damage for up to 30 seconds, and if it was a perfect-grade potion, it could even extend to a minute. Lin Xueyin had given him five bottles of perfect potions.

"What, you don't think it's enough? But I need three more bottles here, one for Kaliel and one for Kashael, and one for Aria."

"No, no, that's not it, Yukine. I have a guard around me, I don't need these."

"Take it. As a princess of the empire, even with a guard, there's no guarantee she'll be 100% safe. Just take it. Your brother only needs 3 bottles anyway."

I secretly drank two bottles and made eight out of ten. That's already astonishing enough. If it all succeeded, they'd go crazy. For their sake, I should keep a low profile. Well, it's not like I want to sell it.

Silently putting away the bottles of sacred protection potions, Lin Xueyin saw that, despite the two little girls' refusal, she stuffed the potions into their hands.

"This potion doesn't conflict with your demon bloodline. Although it might shorten the duration of use, it's still better to have it than not. Take it carefully, and don't lose it, understand?"

"But, sister." She looked at Lin Xueyin, who was sitting very straight, with some trepidation, wondering if Lin Xueyin knew something.

"Alright, you two, always running around outside. What if you get bullied? Besides, you sometimes have to deliver medicine to me. What if you get robbed? Remember, your safety is the most important thing. Later, I'll find you some magic scrolls, preferably forbidden spells."

The two little girls were thrilled, but Irabel was getting increasingly uneasy. Was this girl teaching children? She was clearly leading them astray! Using forbidden spells in the capital city? Did she think she wasn't going to die fast enough?

"Lin Xueyin, hurry up and cook some food. Don't corrupt the children here." Having reached her limit, Irabel grabbed Lin Xueyin by the collar and dragged her from the studio to the lounge. In front of everyone, she had just shattered her reputation as the Ice Princess.

"Hmm, I know how to cook, is it really necessary?" Seeing the two little heads peeking out of the door, she smiled and told them to go and invite Aria over to eat together, but she didn't see that Irabel's originally happy eyes instantly turned gloomy.

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Thirty-Four: The Northern Beastman Alliance

After a hearty meal, Lin Xueyin was completely stunned. That's right, the dinner she had painstakingly prepared for five people hadn't been left for her at all.

The rice I asked someone to buy for me was all gone, the braised fish I made was completely devoured, the stir-fried meat and vegetables were all gone, and the prepared vegetarian and cold dishes were completely sold out.

In the end, Irabel said that the kind of meat that nobles shouldn't eat was the pork rib soup she made herself. But damn it, she ate the most of it, and in the end, she didn't even get any soup, let alone any meat.

The poor thing was that all he did was tidy up the kitchen, and as a result, he was left with a table full of dishes and four women eating in agony.

Trembling with anger, she pointed at the empty plates on the table, "You, you all said you wouldn't eat my cooking, didn't you complain that my cooking wasn't good? This is the result of you not eating?"

"Hmm, isn't that too delicious, Xueyin-neechan? Why don't you cook for us every day from now on?"

Looking pitifully at the beautiful girl trembling all over, Kaliel tried to use her cuteness to get her to let her go, and of course, to trick her into giving her future food. But, she was already fooled once, how could she possibly fall for it a second time?

"Come on, just this once. I promise I will never cook again, never."

"Xueyin, how about I live here with you from now on? These gold coins will cover my lodging and food expenses. Okay?"

"Hmph, how could I possibly be after money... one, one hundred gold coins..."

Lin Xueyin stared at Irabel in disbelief, her eyes wide, and heard her say, "So, do you need me to stay here?"

"Yes, of course I need it. One hundred gold coins a month, and you can stay as long as you want." She ruthlessly clutched the gold coins to her chest, her sharp eyes sweeping over the women around her. Seeing their shocked and disdainful looks, Lin Xueyin showed that she didn't care at all.

"Well, I just felt that you were too lonely living alone in the dorm, so I wanted to live with you. It's not a big deal, right?"

Yes, that's right, it's your sister. If I had known you were so greedy, I would have just booked you out in the first place. Now every time I ask you for help, I feel like I owe you a favor.

A big eye roll was the gift that Ailiya gave to Lin Xueyin, who was now giving a fawning smile to a large bag of gold coins.

Of course, what can't money buy? Even dressing as a woman is acceptable. At this point, Lin Xueyin had completely lost all sense of decency.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. This money isn't for your food and lodging; it's a reward for your help. How about it?"

Tilting her head, she looked at Irabel with a slightly confused expression, but reluctantly handed the purse back to its owner.

"What, Yukine, don't you want to help me?"

Seeing the other person reluctantly hand over the money bag, Irabel didn't take it. Instead, she pushed it back. Although her face didn't show any emotion, there was still a faint sadness in her tone.

The girl, who heard everything clearly, knew that the other person was feeling very sad at that moment. However, she also had her own bottom line.

“Irabelle, how could I not help you? But I'm helping you out of affection, not money. So, I will help you, but don't give me money. Otherwise, I'll feel that our friendship is tainted with the filthy smell of money.”

I want that money, but considering I'll be dating girls in the future, I can't give her a bad chance right now. I need to take this opportunity to boost her favorability rating by dozens.

Seemingly moved by Lin Xueyin, Irabel handed the money pouch over again, saying, "This is not my reward to you, but the Empire's. This time, the Northern Beast Alliance is coming with great force, and I'm worried that something might go wrong, so I hope you can help us."

"Huh? Aren't you here as an envoy? Do you have any other questions?"

Looking at Irabel in surprise, he wondered what kind of trouble they might be causing here as envoys.

"Yukino doesn't know?" Irabell looked at Aria in surprise, seemingly very puzzled that Lin Yukino had asked this question.

With a helpless shrug, Ailiya looked at Lin Xueyin, who had a bewildered expression, and continued, "This girl used to live in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I found her later. What could she possibly know?"

"Did you live in the Hundred Thousand Mountains all this time?" He looked at the girl with a touch of pity. In such a dangerous place, it was easy to imagine what her life must have been like before.

"It's alright, back then I and..." Suddenly, Lin Xueyin felt it was better not to mention Nana, so she paused slightly. Fortunately, Irabel seemed lost in thought and didn't press the matter further.

Patting his chest in relief, he then changed the subject, "What exactly is the Northern Beastman Alliance, that Irabel? Is it an alliance between various tribes with human bodies and beast heads?"

"Don't you know about the Beastmen?" Aria looked at Lin Xueyin with horror and a face full of inexplicable surprise.

Seeing Lin Xueyin nod pitifully, Ailiya shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Irabel already explaining things to Lin Xueyin.

"The Northern Beast Clan Alliance is a wild alliance in the northern part of the Tianluo Continent. The area is located in the far north and is basically in a cold state all year round, but this also makes the people there very strong."

Seeing that Lin Xueyin wanted to say something, but before she could speak, he continued, "The beastmen we are talking about are some strong, humanoid races with green skin. You'll know when you meet them. And the Northern Beastmen Alliance isn't just made up of these green-skinned people; there are also barbarians and vampires."

"Huh? Vampire?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the vampire race. These vampires are similar to the demon race, but they have formed an alliance with the beast race and the barbarian race, and established the Northern Beast Race Alliance."

"But can vampires endure the harsh living conditions of the North?" Lin Xueyin was unsure whether vampires were the same as those she had heard about on Earth.

Shaking her head, Irabelle said again, "Of course not. The vampires' territory is close to the demons' territory. It's not always cold there; on the contrary, the climate is very suitable for their survival."

He nodded as if he suddenly understood, but in reality he had no such concept at all. However, there was no use thinking about it at this point; he would know everything when he saw it.

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Thirty-Five: The Prince and His Envoy

Regardless, time goes on, life goes on, and what the upper class cares about is sometimes not considered a big deal by ordinary people at the bottom.

It's only when that day arrives that you belatedly realize that the time has come and you should do something.

At that moment, while Lin Xueyin was still in her studio preparing medicine, she heard her assistant rush in recklessly.

"Xueyin, why are you still here? The Northern Beast Alliance has already arrived. You... you should hurry up and pack your things and go out to see what's going on."

After methodically finishing his work, he gave the restless little girl a disapproving look. "Kasha'er, spend some time learning from your sister instead of always focusing on playing. Learn alchemy properly so that you'll have a good job if I'm not around one day."

"No, no, it's not like that. My sister and I..."

"Kasha'er, you're causing trouble again." Before she could finish speaking, her older sister sternly cut her off. Knowing she had almost let something slip, Kasha'er could only stick out her tongue pitifully and look at Lin Xueyin pleadingly.

But then I saw the other person turn their face away without any regard for my feelings, as if to say, "I didn't see anything."

"Oh, sister, I was wrong."

"Hmph, if you come and cause trouble again next time, see how I deal with you." Kaliel glared fiercely at her outspoken sister before calming down a bit, and then spoke in a slightly gentler tone.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come over?"

"Oh, right, sister, the envoys from the Northern Beastman Alliance have arrived. They are said to be led by their prince, and their first stop is our academy."

With her little mouth open, she rattled off everything she knew, leaving Lin Xueyin completely bewildered.

"Alright, alright, Kashar, let's go out and take a look."

Although I don't know exactly what happened, once I get out, I'll find out what happened. As for the Northern Beastman Alliance, what does that have to do with me?

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a knock on the door. Soon, a man dressed as a court attendant entered.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Lin Xueyin? I am Her Highness's attendant. Her Highness wishes you to go to her quarters and accompany her to welcome the envoys of the Beast Alliance."

"Huh? I'm with Irabell, but am I qualified?" She looked at the messenger in surprise, but still followed him to Irabell's side.

Meanwhile, the academy gates were already packed with people. Many students had come here spontaneously, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the envoys from the beastmen.

Despite the ongoing conflicts between the Empire and the Orcish Alliance, exchanges between their envoys have never ceased. This time, the Empire has even sent an Orcish prince to visit it.

For some students who have never been on the battlefield, and whose impression of the orcs only exists in books, this is a good opportunity to see what the orcs are really like.

As for Lin Xueyin, who came from an Earth where there were no beastmen, she wasn't so much looking forward to it, or rather, curious.

Of course, there's a reason for this. After all, Lin Xueyin has images of all kinds of beast races in her mind, such as those from Scroll of Girls, Warcraft, StarCraft, and various online games. The types of beast races in those games alone could form a reinforced platoon.

There are no Orcs in StarCraft, well, the problem is there are Zerg, and Zerg are also considered Orcs, right? After all, there's the Queen of Blades, so how can they not be Orcs? Right? Hahaha.

Just as the crowd was becoming restless from the long wait, they saw figures appearing around the street corner. Gradually, the tamed, heavily armored northern bears at the front came into view, eliciting gasps of surprise.

Next came ten guards wielding spears, followed by three tiger riders clad in heavy armor, carrying heavy swords, and riding black fanged tigers, and surrounding a man dressed in magnificent clothes, riding a green-skinned fanged tiger.

His scarlet eyes and sharp teeth were striking, while the two long, pointed ears peeking out from beneath his black hair, twitching unintentionally, revealed that he was not as composed as he appeared.

"Your Highness, ahead lies the Cloudfall Academy of the Empire, which is also the largest academy in the entire world."

Listening to his subordinate's whispered introduction, the man called His Highness revealed a mocking smile. Although this academy was huge, the empire only had this one academy, while the Northern Alliance, just its own clan, had dozens of academies of various kinds. If other tribes were included, there would be hundreds of academies of various sizes.
