I raise elves in Florian

"If only Flame were as filial as you."

Celia said to Shi Yichen while eating dessert.

"Actually, it's not that the teacher doesn't want to do this, it's just that human lifespan is extremely short and there are so many things to do, so there's no time."

Shi Yichen sat down next to Celia and said to her, "Teacher has no choice but to do this. Flame also wants to take care of her teacher, but she has been busy pursuing her own dreams and has no time for it."

"Are you researching forbidden magic to resurrect the dead?"

Celia stopped eating her dessert and looked at Shi Yichen with a serious expression. She didn't believe that Shi Yichen would go to such lengths just to glance at Flame.

Upon hearing Celia's words, Shi Yichen dared not move, because she was genuinely conducting research.

"You should know that no one has ever succeeded with this kind of magic so far. Even if someone did succeed, the price would be extremely high, and you might even lose your life as a result."

Celia had actually done her own research after Flame's death, but being an elf, Celia just liked to procrastinate, and before she knew it, it had dragged on until now.

"I know, but I still want to give it a try."

The idea of ​​reviving Flame had always been in Shi Yichen's mind. Without her teacher Flame, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today, so she wanted to give it a try.

"You! Just like Flame, you can't listen to anyone."

Celia shook her head helplessly. Shi Yichen's personality was exactly the same as Flame's; once they made up their minds, they would never change them.

That night, Shi Yichen and Celia talked for a long time, while Celia listened quietly. Perhaps only Shi Yichen could make the number one person below the goddess do this.

"It's getting late, I'll go and rest now."

Shi Yichen stood up, said goodbye to Celia, and prepared to return to his room.

Aren't you angry with me?

Just as Shi Yichen had taken two steps, Celia suddenly spoke to him.

"What's it to you?"

Shi Yichen looked at Celia with suspicion. Could she be the Demon King?

"Because of my interference, you failed to kill the Demon King and avenge your parents."

Celia looked calmly into Shi Yichen's eyes, trying to see something in them.

"You must have your own reasons for doing this. Actually, I'm also hesitant about whether or not to kill the Demon King, because without the Demon King, humanity's attention will turn to us."

Shi Yichen also had her own ideas. If she killed the Demon King, it would definitely shock the entire continent, and everyone's attention would be focused on her.

At first it might be fine, but over time her ageless appearance will definitely be questioned. If someone with ulterior motives uses this to their advantage, they could easily incite public opinion and cause ignorant people to attack her.

Humans are not elves, destined to have only a short lifespan, but the appearance of a human with almost eternal time has attracted the attention of countless people.

Humans can be selfish too, and they will definitely try every means to make Shi Yichen hand over the method to achieve immortality. If that doesn't work, they will use force, as long as Shi Yichen dares to fight back.

Then Shi Yichen will be labeled a traitor to humanity, and all the people on the continent will regard Shi Yichen as the target of their attack.

When people need you, you are a hero; but once some people feel that you threaten their position, even a hero can only become a demon.

When that time comes, Shi Yichen will become the next Demon King, and everyone will have the right to kill him. The entire continent will be engulfed in a war to punish the Demon King.

You're right.

As expected of the person she set her sights on; humans are untrustworthy, the only thing you can trust is your own fist.

Celia relies on her immense strength to deter others from attacking. She possesses a vast collection of magic from all over the continent, from ancient times to the present. Without great power, one could not protect such a vast wealth.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly clean appearance of these humans. In secret, they capture elves and dwarves for experiments in order to achieve immortality, all for their own greed.

It wasn't that these elves and dwarves were easily fooled, but rather that they trusted humans too much. Because they trusted humans too much, they were easily captured. Not all humans are trustworthy.

"Then why did you still try to kill the Demon King?"

Celia only intervened to stop Shi Yichen when she saw the holy sword in his hand falling.

"No? I just put my hand down, I didn't try to hit him!"

Celia's question left Shi Yichen completely bewildered; she had no intention of killing the Demon King!

"Oh! Maybe I misread it."

Upon hearing Shi Yichen's words, Celia immediately narrowed her eyes, her face full of embarrassment. She had thought Shi Yichen was going to kill the Demon King, but it turned out she had been overthinking it.

"Alright! Go and rest! I should rest too."

Celia also stood up, stretched, and her fair and delicate belly came into Shi Yichen's view. Celia casually swept the dishes and chopsticks off the table.

"Ah."

Shi Yichen was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and nodded in response. Her room and Celia's room were not far apart, so she always walked with Celia.

"After you get back, review the battle with the Demon King carefully. I watched your fight, and you still need some experience. I hope you can learn from this battle and strive to defeat the Demon King quickly next time."

As Celia walked, she told Shi Yichen that she had watched the entire battle between Shi Yichen and the Demon King. Shi Yichen had several opportunities to severely injure the Demon King, but he missed them all because of his lack of combat experience.

"Well, I see."

Shi Yichen was also aware of his shortcomings, because in the past he had only encountered small Karami, whom he had killed easily. Fighting Mahat had only resulted in getting his clothes dirty.

But fighting the Demon King is not so easy. The Demon King's strength is many times greater than Mahat's. Fighting the Demon King not only leaves you exhausted, but you also suffer a lot of injuries.

"Also, you did a great job. What reward do you want? As long as I can make it happen, I will definitely give it to you."

Celia, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Yichen. Defeating the Demon King was worthy of a reward; it just depended on what reward Shi Yichen wanted.

"Really, anything is possible?"

Shi Yichen looked at Celia in disbelief.

"That's right, anything is fine, you deserve the most credit this time."

Celia nodded.

"Can I hold you while I sleep?"

Shi Yichen said something she had never dared to do before.

"What kind of reward is this?"

Celia looked at Shi Yichen speechlessly. "Is this all you want as a reward?"

Sleeping together has been happening for hundreds of years, but it only happened once, when Shi Yichen came to study with Celia when he was eighteen years old.
