Seeing Chen Ming deep in thought and silent for a long time, Luo Qixi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

She added cautiously, her voice even softer than before: "Well... perhaps in Ming's eyes, it might seem a bit presumptuous, or arrogant, for an adventurer like me, who came from a magical family and has a solid theoretical foundation, to want to teach those students? But I really enjoy the feeling of imparting knowledge... I, I will try my best!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.

“I don’t think I’m being arrogant, Loki.”

He said earnestly, "On the contrary, I think that with your profound understanding of magic, becoming a teacher at a magic university is already a waste of your talent—you could have pursued more cutting-edge and personalized magical research. However, since that is the job you truly aspire to, then of course I fully support you. I really look forward to seeing Professor Loki standing on the podium!"

"You're making this up..."

Luo Qixi's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help but smile: "Thank you so much... or rather, I'm a little shy~"

That night, Luo Qixi sat there, unusually proactive in recharging...

The next morning, Chen Ming decided to strike while the iron was hot—he knew that although Luo Qixi had made a request, given her delicate and sensitive nature, if he delayed, she would inevitably overthink things, and might even back down due to anxiety.

So, after enjoying a breakfast carefully prepared by [Crimson], he took Loki's slightly cold hand and said gently:

“Let’s go, let’s go to the Magic University now and talk to Vice Principal Genius.”

Luo Qixi was slightly taken aback, then nodded vigorously, her light blue eyes flashing with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"Ok!"

She took a deep breath, as if she were embarking not on a journey to a familiar campus, but on an important job interview.

The magic university was still enveloped in the unique tranquility and intellectual atmosphere of the morning.

The towering tower cast long shadows in the sunlight, and the lawn was filled with the fresh scent of morning dew. Occasionally, students carrying heavy books would hurry by or discuss the complex structure of incantations in hushed tones.

Every brick and tile here is incredibly familiar to Luo Qixi, but today, she returns to this place with a completely different identity and goal, so her feelings are naturally exceptionally complex.

The two arrived at the administration building with practiced ease and headed straight for the vice principal's office.

After knocking and entering, the scene before him was almost exactly the same as it had been years ago: Vice Principal Genius's signature mountain of documents, which seemed to never be finished, almost completely engulfed him as he buried himself in them.

Hearing the noise, he looked up from behind a thick stack of reports. When he saw that the visitors were Chen Ming and Luo Qixi, his signature bitter smile instantly appeared on his face, but today this bitter smile seemed to be mixed with a deeper bitterness than before.

"Didn't you... already graduate?"

Genius put down his quill, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his temples. "Did I remember the graduation date wrong? Or does Master Infinite have some special research project that requires the school's cooperation?"

Chen Ming smiled and shook his head, then stepped forward and got straight to the point: "Vice Principal Genius, if you remember correctly, we have all graduated. I am here today to ask for a little of your valuable time to discuss something about Luo Qixi's future development."

Genius's gaze swept over Chen Ming's calm face and Luo Qixi's expectant face, and he quickly weighed the options in his mind.

Given Chen Ming's almost legendary status on this continent, his unfathomable strength, and his outstanding achievements in defeating the Demon King, let alone a vice principal, even if the principal himself were to come, he would never dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Moreover, although Chen Ming possesses extraordinary strength, he has always been dutiful and has made significant contributions to the Magic University—despite the nerve-wracking process.

He immediately stood up, a polite smile plastered on his face, even with a hint of deference:

"Yes, of course, no problem, Master Mugen. This place is too messy, it's not a good place to talk, let's change rooms."

Despite having a mountain of documents to approve and a schedule that might extend into next month, Genius readily made time for them without hesitation.

This is the intangible privilege brought by strength and prestige, and it is also the cautious attitude he must maintain when facing Chen Ming.

Soon, the three moved to a reception room that was elegantly decorated, covered with thick carpets, and had portraits of past principals hanging on the walls.

Sunlight streamed in through the tall arched windows, casting bright spots of light on the gleaming wooden table.

Chen Ming looked around; he hadn't been here for many years.

The last time I sat on this soft sofa was after the duel with the undead demon king Badgeon. It was here that Vice Principal Genus had a probing conversation with me.

Time has passed, the room remains the same, but his and those around him have experienced completely different circumstances and states of mind.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen!"

Genius gestured for them to sit opposite him. A servant quietly served fragrant black tea, then withdrew and closed the heavy wooden door behind him.

The reception room fell silent, with only the soft clinking of teacups and saucers.

Genius picked up his teacup, blew on the steam, and glanced between the two men before finally looking at Chen Ming with a questioning look: "So, Lord Infinite, what brings you here today? As long as it's something within the Magic University's capabilities, we will certainly do our best to cooperate."

Chen Ming didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head, his gaze gently falling on Luo Qixi, who was sitting upright beside him. He nodded slightly, handing over the right to speak entirely to her. This was a silent but firm signal of support.

Luo Qixi received this encouragement.

Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched slightly before slowly relaxing, her aquamarine eyes meeting those of Ginas—a teacher who had taught her when she first entered the magic academy, to whom she had always held a deep respect.

“Professor Genius, I’ve come to inquire whether there are any vacancies at the Magic University. I… I hope to have the opportunity to teach here.”

"Coaching?"

Vice Principal Genius was visibly taken aback; clearly, this request was far from the various "big events" he had envisioned.

He carefully examined Loki, and the girl in front of him (although she still looked young) was no longer the somewhat timid but passionate first-year student who had been full of enthusiasm for magic.

She is an outstanding student who successfully graduated, a seasoned veteran who has been tempered by the life of an adventurer, and the wife of Lord Infinity, making her an extraordinary person.

After a moment's thought, the wry smile on his face turned into a more sincere one, and he leaned forward slightly.

"I see, you want to become a teacher."

Genus nodded, speaking slowly, "Loki, your academic achievements and magical prowess are evident to all, especially in practical application and understanding, which many theoretical professors may not be able to match. It is truly a rare and admirable thing that you are determined to dedicate yourself to education and pass on your experience to the next generation."

He paused, his tone becoming more certain, "At Lanoa Magic University, we've always welcomed talented young people like you, who possess both ability and passion, to join our faculty. Practical magical application, intermediate spell analysis, even wilderness survival magic… there are many courses that would be perfect for you. We warmly welcome you to join us!"

Upon hearing Vice Principal Genius's affirmative reply, Luo Qixi's tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and a relieved and overjoyed smile bloomed on her face.

“Really? That’s wonderful! Thank you so much, Professor Ginas!” she exclaimed excitedly, even giving a slight bow.

Genius smiled and waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.

Then, his gaze quickly shifted to Chen Ming, who sat calmly to the side, and his tone became even more fervent:

"Lord Infinite, you see, your wife is about to become a teacher at our school. So, would you yourself... also be interested in taking a position at the Magic University? For example, honorary principal? Or, special advisor? You wouldn't need to handle daily affairs, just occasionally give a lecture, or... provide some 'strategic' advice and support when necessary?"

He carefully considered his words, trying to use this title to more closely link this "human myth" with the magic university.

This has immeasurable value in enhancing the school's reputation, safety, and even access to resources.

Although Chen Ming had no interest in this at all, he still picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly for Luo Qixi's sake.

“As long as Luo Qixi is still working at the Magic University, I can lend my name to her… However, I have more important things to do, so I may not be able to respond to your requests in a timely manner.”

Upon hearing this, a clear look of surprise flashed in Genius's eyes; this result had far exceeded his expectations.

So he tactfully replied, "It's no trouble at all; your mere presence here is already a great help!"

……

That concludes the digression; let's get back to the main topic.

Let's go back to that morning when Loki was about to make his coaching debut.

After she put on the magic teacher uniform, she immediately went to Chen Ming to confirm.

Only after receiving his unwavering affirmation did her last bit of anxiety about her appearance truly subside.

The two walked out of the bedroom side by side, down the spiral staircase, and into the spacious and bright living room.

The morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the entire space with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Silvermoon was sitting on the carpet, playing games with eight-year-old Silphiet.

Although Silver Moon has the appearance of a young girl, her mental age is similar to that of Hilfiet, so the two have always been very good playmates...

Chapter 338: You Are All My Wings

"Ah, good morning, Master!" *2

Upon hearing Chen Ming's footsteps, Yin Yue and Xilufeiyete simultaneously looked up, their faces instantly breaking into bright smiles as they greeted him in unison.

Good morning, Silvermoon and Silphie!

Chen Ming responded with a smile, walked over and ruffled Yin Yue and Xilufeiyete's soft hair.

Recently, Chen Ming felt that Yin Yue seemed to be becoming more and more perfect.

Her hair was longer than before, flowing down to her waist, glossy and beautiful, and her figure was slender yet exuded an even more graceful curve.

With a cool and aloof demeanor, her posture while sitting quietly is like a high-altitude flower quietly blooming on a snow-capped peak, so beautiful that it takes one's breath away, and even makes others hesitate whether they should easily make a sound to disturb her.

However, as soon as Chen Ming spoke to her, Yin Yue's icy demeanor would instantly melt away, her silvery-white eyes would curve into crescents, and she would radiate undisguised closeness and dependence, immediately transforming back into that spoiled girl.

Each of these rapid changes in expression made Chen Ming secretly breathe a sigh of relief—he still preferred the cheerful and playful Yin Yue.

"Time to eat... Time to eat... Time for breakfast!"

A cheerful but clearly off-key humming sound came from afar, breaking the warm tranquility of the living room.

A petite and adorable, yet remarkably fluid and precise, loli-type robot pushed a multi-tiered dining cart covered with a snow-white tablecloth into the living room, humming an impromptu, quirky dining song.

The lyrics were simple and repetitive, and the melody was also terrible, which fully demonstrates that even though artificial intelligence has powerful working capabilities, it also has obvious shortcomings in artistic creation.

Good morning, masters and ladies!

【Crimson】stopped in the center of the living room and greeted us in a clear, childlike voice. At the same time, she gracefully lifted the silver insulated lid on the food cart, and the enticing aroma of food instantly filled the air. "Today's breakfast theme is 'Cantonese dim sum': including shrimp dumplings, siu mai, char siu bao, chicken feet, glutinous rice chicken, lava buns, rice noodle rolls... a total of eighteen dim sum items, all of which are ready. Please enjoy!"

Perhaps drawn by the aroma of breakfast, footsteps soon echoed down the stairs, and Jinbisa led down the stairs with two still sleepy-eyed beast princesses—Linia with cat ears and Prusena with dog ears.

"Boss! Good morning, meow~" Linia rubbed her eyes, and the cat ears on her head twitched comfortably.

"Boss! Good morning!" Prusena was more energetic, and her tail behind her had already started to wag slightly uncontrollably.

Although the two beast princesses and Chen Ming were already an old married couple, they still insisted on calling Chen Ming "boss".

After exchanging greetings, the news I learned last night immediately came to mind.

Linia blinked her big eyes and said in a tone that was half joking and half coquettishly complaining, "Boss, really, you married another beautiful girl yesterday, meow~! You're moving too fast, meow!"

Prusena immediately nodded in agreement, feigning a wronged expression: "Exactly! Abandoning us old friends and bringing a fifth wife or something, f***ing! The boss is a womanizer!"

Their half-joking remark instantly created a subtly awkward atmosphere in the living room.

Chen Ming immediately felt several gazes focused on him, as if he had truly become a heartless man who had abandoned his wife after being fickle for the sake of new love.

Fortunately, the family atmosphere has always been harmonious, and both Jin Bisha and Luo Qixi are gentle and considerate girls.

Luo Qixi smiled and defended Chen Ming:

"Where did you abandon your old flame? You've been so good to me all these years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes wide open. Ming has it tough... Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself. All these years, all you've done is eat and sleep. Have you been serving your husband properly?"

Jin Bisha, the girl who was one of the first to follow Chen Ming in World No. 2, gently walked to Chen Ming's side and said in a soft voice:

"Husband, is the new sister still resting in the master bedroom? Breakfast is ready. Should I go and call her to come and have breakfast together? It's her first day at home, and I don't want her to go hungry."

Her tone was natural and sincere, full of acceptance and care for the "new sister".

Just then, a timid voice came softly from the corner of the stairs:

"I'm so...so sorry...it was my sudden intrusion that disrupted everyone's lives..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Benedict had gotten up at some point and was standing in the middle of the stairs.

She was wearing a slightly oversized, plain-colored nightgown—because she had come in a hurry yesterday, she hadn't brought her own pajamas, so she had taken one from the closet in the master bedroom.

She stood barefoot on the wooden steps, her hands clasped nervously in front of her, her long, light blue hair disheveled, making her already pale face appear even more bloodless.

The girl lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly like the wings of a startled butterfly, not daring to make direct contact with any gaze in the living room.

Clearly, this naive girl, whose past experiences made her extremely sensitive to interpersonal relationships, took Linia and Prusena's joking teasing seriously.

To her, those words were nothing short of a clear accusation and rejection of her as an "intruder".

Overwhelmed by immense unease and instinctive guilt, she almost subconsciously apologized, her voice filled with bewildered fear.

But even though she was misunderstood as an "unwelcome third party," and even though her heart was filled with unease and remorse, she still didn't say anything like "Then I'll leave."

For her, Chen Ming was not just the man who married her, but also the first ray of light that suddenly descended upon her long, dark, and almost colorless life, a light so warm it brought tears to her eyes.

This ray of light dispelled the coldness and loneliness of her world, giving her a tenderness she had never dared to hope for.

Asking her to let go and leave this place of light is more unbearable than asking her to face death.

So she could only awkwardly apologize, but stubbornly stood still, without taking a single step back.

"Meow!?"

"Huh!?"

Upon seeing this, Lynya and Prusena's smiles froze instantly, turning into genuine panic.
