Xing Mo was silent for a moment and coughed slightly:
"Because senior... likes girls..."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. After a long moment, Aurora poked the balloon she was holding in confusion and muttered:
"But aren't you a girl now? Little Saint?"
"Senior doesn't know either... Wait a minute! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean you will like me! She is my sister and I am her brother, that's all!" Xing Mo released all the strength that had been drained out of her.
"It's my sister," Aurora corrected.
"No, no! After I complete the contract with you, you have to change me back." Xing Mo sighed.
To be honest, Xingmo really likes girls. Although she is not very social, she still has a complete aesthetic system for appreciating girls.
But becoming a girl is really... too embarrassing!
So, Xingmo still wanted to find a way to change back.
Hearing Xingmo's words, Aurora tilted her head:
"I didn't even say I was going to change you back, did I?"
"Little Ancestor, please don't torture me," Xing Mo's mouth twitched, "What's the point of turning me into a girl? Can't a man serve you?"
"Because girls are sweet and soft, and I like sweet and soft things." Aurora smiled brightly.
"Then after we complete the contract, you can change me back. We will have nothing to do with each other by then anyway." Xing Mo tilted her head slightly.
What she didn't see was that the light in Aurora's eyes dimmed for a moment, then quickly became cunning again:
"Oh~ Then we'll see when the time comes~"
"Don't wait and see... Make a promise! Promise..."
Before Xing Mo could finish her words, the bedroom window was suddenly knocked, which instantly ignited her already somewhat confused spirit.
In order to prevent anyone from outside from seeing that the lights in the room were on, Xingmo used some small magic tricks, which theoretically would not be discovered by anyone.
Under this premise, there is only one thing that can shoot the window——
"It seems your little messenger has returned, little saint~"
Aurora sat up and waved her hand. The window opened and a white dove flew in, throwing an envelope in Xingmo's face.
Oh no... It's a reply from my mentor...! Xingmo cried out in her heart, this is not good.
Aurora picked up the envelope like a winner, smiling brightly.
"Let's see if our little saint is honest enough. Is she a bad kid who leaked the information... or..."
Aurora opened the envelope and took out two rolls of parchment.
She opened one of the parchments and read it in front of Xingmo, then sighed in boredom:
"Wow... so boring..."
Xing Mo picked up another roll of parchment, quickly opened it, and scanned the contents:
"Dear Miss Xingsheng, your qualification report has been reviewed by the Academy. Please take the entrance exam on the first day of enrollment. The time is..."
As she read, Xingmo breathed a sigh of relief - the tutor obviously fully understood her situation and directly replied with two letters of admission to help her cover up.
As expected of a mentor, he even understood the excuses I made perfectly. That’s great.
Xing Mo rolled up the admission letter and threw it on the bedside table, then watched Aurora's frustrated look as if nothing had happened.
This little evil spirit thought she could find something to hold against me, but she miscalculated!
At this moment, Aurora was frowning and pouting slightly, looking like a girl who had done something wrong.
When Xingmo was about to say something, Aurora spoke first:
"What's the name Xingyu... Why did you give us such an ugly name?"
"After all, you are my sister, so you have to pretend to be nice." Xing Mo curled her lips.
"That's not nice, it's not nice. Didn't we agree that we're set to be the Faru people? Then shouldn't we be called Alice Dorian or something like that? Why are you using the Yanxia naming format?" Aurora seemed a little unreasonable.
"Because the orthodox surname Falu is too easy to trace. When the empire fell, the king of the Falu people was beheaded. Our setting is the orphan of the royalists. Using the half of the Yanxia bloodline as a cover is reasonable in the eyes of outsiders and will not arouse suspicion." Xing Mo calmly stated the reason.
"Oh." Aurora buried her head in Xingmo's chest.
This guy seems a little depressed, uh...it's not just because the name is ugly, right?
Is there any other reason?
Xingmo hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently rubbed the back of Aurora's head.
The little guy moved like a cat, and his breathing gradually became steady.
She actually fell asleep like that.
"..."
Xing Mo looked at Aurora lying on top of him, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.
Sometimes she looked harmless, and sometimes she looked like an evil deity who could blow up the entire North City at any time.
Xingmo took a deep breath and then exhaled. She closed her eyes and thought about the upcoming school day.
All in all, the next goal is to sneak into the magic academy and get in touch with the instructor.
Some things do not belong to the earth, and the stars are their proper destination.
...END...
3) Sunshine! Academy! Miss Evil! Good Sunny Days
On Tuesday, Xingmo slept in soundly, curled up in bed and didn't get up.
After all, I was so tired after being sucked... I was so tired that I felt a little dazed...
When Xingmo woke up, she found a pair of big blood-red eyes staring at her.
She came to her senses and found Aurora lying on top of her:
"Are you awake?"
"Wow——" Xing Mo almost jumped up in fright, "Don't... don't scare me!"
"Really...how am I scary...I'm so cute..."
Aurora innocently tapped her lips with her finger and tilted her head.
She was wearing a school uniform, and the soft fabric exuded the scent of sunlight.
Xing Mo, with messy hair and a little saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"Are you going out?"
"I spent the whole morning wandering around, mainly in the northern part of the city, looking around everywhere."
Aurora looked so innocent, but for some reason, Xingmo felt a little uneasy.
"You didn't do anything bad, did you? Outside..."
"Of course not, we just went to pick some." Aurora supported her waist, very proud.
Pick some...well...I don’t know what to say...Xingmo complained in her heart.
"Oh, by the way, we also bought a few novels... That's what they're called, right? They're storytelling books," Aurora said, eager to share. "The stories in them are amazing. Two girls fall in love, one pushes the other down, and then... ahem... you people in the Citadel are so open-minded."
"Novels are made-up stories, how can they be true..." Xing Mo was speechless. "By the way, what kind of novel are you reading? It has such a scary plot?"
"How can it be scary...it's actually quite interesting..."
Aurora looked innocent, then took out a novel from somewhere and showed it to Xingmo.
Xing Mo took a look and saw that the title of the book was "The Sea of Flowers is Always Blooming".
Xingmo had heard of this book, which describes the love story between a cafe owner and a maid, and it sold very well in the Academy City.
After all, the story is about a girl falling in love, and the emotions in it are written quite delicately.
However, Xingmo has always scoffed at this kind of books.
She prefers to read more academic books...such as "The Theory and Practical Application of String Magic Steam Alchemy Machine Structure".
"Read less...this one is not well written. Next time I will find some health books for you to read." Xing Mo curled her lips.
"Hey~ No~ I was thinking of practicing the contents with you~" Aurora said in a coquettish tone.
Don't practice it! It's fatal!
Xingmo sighed, then got up and started making lunch with the ingredients Aurora bought on the way.
She cooked a pot of soup with peas and lamb, cut some bread, and made a meal of Faroese specialties.
The opening exam is scheduled for Wednesday, so Xingmo can have a good rest all day today and make some preparations for tomorrow.
The instructor should have already started preparing for the "exile ceremony". The next thing to do is to bring this little evil god into the academy and then act accordingly.
Looking at the little evil god who was drinking soup with a happy look on his face, Xingmo's eyes suddenly became complicated.
She dipped a piece of bread into the soup and prepared to take another nap in the afternoon to save some energy for the entrance exam tomorrow morning.
......
Port Area-North City
Black chimneys are lined up on the seashore, with blue-white steam rising from them. From a distance, they look like white sails on the sea.
The port area is located in the coastal area on the edge of the northern part of the academic city. Since the "Steam Revolution", a large number of coastal factories have been opened here to produce various raw materials and assemble steam alchemy machines.
This is also the most dilapidated area in the entire northern city. The streets paved with old bricks and tiles are full of water stains. Workers sit on the ground along the street, wolfing down their lunch while shouting loudly.
The midday sun was very hot. Even on the rainy coast of Jianhai, the workers felt dizzy from the heat. When they looked at the horizon, it seemed as if there was an illusory ripple filter in front of their eyes.
In this illusory vision, two incompatible shadows came in.
There were two girls, one with bright red hair and a slender figure; the other with silver hair and icy blue eyes.
The workers rarely saw such a beautiful girl, and their male instinct made them subconsciously want to take a few more glances, but their gazes quickly retracted.
"..."
Vivian restrained the icy flame in her eyes, and her gaze intimidated the workers, making them dare not look directly at her.
As a half-Yanxia person, Vivian has a strong ancient dragon bloodline. The icy flame burning in her eyes comes from the supreme being of the Age of Gods, and naturally it is not something that ordinary people can look directly at.
Looking at the indifferent smile on Vivian's face, Alice wrapped her red robe tightly around her body:
"Don't scare them, we're just here to ask questions."
"I just hate impolite looks, that's all." Vivian chuckled and said perfunctorily.
The two walked quickly on the street and turned into an alley.
Deep in the alley, they found the purpose of their trip - the "Blackwood Bar".
A strange smell came out from the half-open door. It smelled like rotten wood with a little cheap alcohol splashed on it.
The two looked at each other, then opened the door of the bar and walked in.
As soon as she entered the bar, Vivian's eyes lit up with icy flames again, and those gazes from the dark corners were immediately forced back.
Only one person was still looking directly at her. It was the man behind the bar. He was wiping a cup with a rag, his dark green eyes reflecting the blue light in Vivian's.
"Vivian Xia, 'Ice Flame', Alice Pucht, 'Peeping Witch'."
The boss said, taking out two beer bottles from under the bar and placing them on the bar:
"What brings these two noble 'bell keepers' to the industrial area?"
Alice walked up to the counter and, without even glancing at the bottle of wine in the boss's hand, threw a piece of parchment in front of him.
"Do you know this guy?"
The boss smiled and looked into Alice's dark red eyes, then his gaze dropped to the parchment.
The paper showed a distorted bust: its body was covered in bronze armor with steam engine-like pipes wrapped around it.
"Wow," the boss exclaimed. "Are you looking for the 'Steam Man'? An urban legend?"
"It's an urban legend that's been witnessed dozens of times and has killed dozens of people," Vivian said coldly. "Someone said you have intelligence. Hand it over."
