I raise elves in Florian

noon.

Shi Yichen, who didn't want to sleep, slept until noon without realizing it, perhaps because he was holding Celia.

"Hey! When are you going to stop hugging me?"

Celia looked at Shi Yichen, who had just woken up, and said that she had to admit she was very satisfied with Shi Yichen, who was like a giant hand warmer, and also had a calming effect.

Shi Yichen held her so tightly that she couldn't get up. It was because he was holding her too tightly. Although Celia herself slept while holding Shi Yichen, how could she possibly say it out loud?

"Yes, yes, I'll get up now."

Before getting up, Shi Yichen hugged Celia tightly again and pressed his face against Celia's. Hmm, Celia's figure is even better than Frilian's.

Celia, on the other hand, didn't think there was anything wrong with it; in fact, she even enjoyed it a little.

"I'm hungry, hurry up and cook me some food."

Celia sat on the bed and said to Shi Yichen, "Holding her to sleep comes at a price; I can't just let you hold me for free!"

"I'm off!"

Shi Yichen happily got out of bed and ran out of the room.

Watching Shi Yichen jog away, Celia finally smiled. Her grand-disciple was quite adorable.

A moment later, Shi Yichen's voice came from outside the room.

"Seria~, dinner's ready~"

"coming."

Hearing Shi Yichen's coquettish voice, Celia got out of bed, waved her hand, and immediately changed into a different set of clothes. She then opened the door and went out.

"Please sit down!"

Shi Yichen pulled out a chair for Celia to sit down.

"Let's go for a walk after we finish eating! We can buy some things while we're at it."

Celia looked at Shi Yichen while eating her food.

"Great! It's been so long since we went out for a walk together."

Shi Yichen nodded. It had indeed been a long time since she had gone out with Celia. It had been two or three hundred years since the last time they went out together.

…………

Frillie's side.

"Yoshi! We've got a lead."

Frilian looked at her right hand, which had been turned into gold. Several months had passed since it was turned into gold by Mahat, and it was only now that there was a tiny bit of progress.

"However, this magic is really powerful. If that demon had used its full power back then, I probably wouldn't have been able to dodge it!"

As Frilian pondered this, the more she analyzed it, the more terrifying she felt the magic was. It turned everything into gold without any reason, and there was no way to break it.

"My Yichen is still stronger; he beat that demon to no avail."

Whenever she thought of Shi Yichen, the corners of Frilian's mouth couldn't help but turn up. It could be said that Shi Yichen had occupied Frilian's entire heart, leaving no room for anyone else.

"I wonder what Yichen is doing right now. I miss her so much! I hope she can come back to me soon."

Frilian looked up at the sky filled with the glow of sunset, and a sudden feeling of loneliness made her think of Shi Yichen.

…………

Shi Yichen's side.

"let's go!"

Celia said to Shi Yichen.

"Ah."

Shi Yichen nodded, stepped forward, and took Celia's hand.

Looking at Shi Yichen holding her hand, Celia couldn't help but think of that little girl from back then. It was the same scene, the same place, except that little girl had been dead for over five hundred years.

"Seria? What's wrong?"

Shi Yichen looked at Celia in confusion. Why did she suddenly stop walking?

"It's nothing, let's go!"

Celia shook her head and tightened her grip on Shi Yichen's hand, as if she were holding the hand of that little girl from years ago.

"Are you thinking of your teacher?"

Shi Yichen looked at Celia's nostalgic eyes and asked.

"Yes! She held my hand like this back then and took me around everywhere."

When Flame was mentioned, Celia's eyes softened instantly; Flame was her most, most, most favorite disciple.

"The teacher will come back."

Shi Yichen said this not only to Celia, but also to himself.

"It's not that easy! And I won't allow you to do that."

Celia shook her head. This was a very difficult thing to do. She knew without even thinking that the magic to resurrect the dead would come at a huge cost, and she didn't want Shi Yichen to do such a thing.

"Okay then~_~".

Shi Yichen verbally agreed with Celia, saying that he would calm her down first and deal with other matters later.

Celia glanced at Shi Yichen and knew she was just agreeing verbally. Shi Yichen's personality was exactly the same as Flame's; once she set her mind on something, she would do it no matter how difficult it was.

"let's go!"

Celia shook her head helplessly at Shi Yichen, then reached out and gently rubbed Shi Yichen's head. Her grand-disciple had too many things on his mind.

"Ah."

The two left the palace hand in hand and walked into the city.

"The outside has changed quite a bit!"

Celia looked at the scenery along the way and noticed that there were more caravans passing by.

"Without the Demon King's army's attacks, more people are entering and leaving the northern kingdoms, and the environment has naturally changed."

Shi Yichen watched the caravans and people coming and going at the city gate. The Demon King's army had retreated for several months, and more and more people were traveling to and from the northern countries. Caravans from other places were also flocking here.

Shi Yichen and Celia entered the city, where they saw the endless hawking sounds and the abundant fruits brought by the caravans.

If the war between humans and the Demon King's army were still ongoing, it would have been impossible for so many people to come. The Demon King's army frequently destroyed the humans' rear supply lines, so few caravans dared to travel to the northern kingdoms.

"Let's go take a look over there!"

Shi Yichen took Celia's hand and walked towards the fruit stall. The stall had many novel fruits, which were obviously transported from other places.

Why are you buying so much?

Celia watched as Shi Yichen bought all the fruit from the stall.

"Of course I'll buy some to eat, and I'll also bring some back for Frilian to try, since she's never seen them before."

Shi Yichen smiled and said to Celia, then took Celia's hand and continued walking into the market.

When they passed a general store, Shi Yichen led Celia inside. Shi Yichen wanted to see if there were any magic books or anything like that, and if so, he would buy them for Frillie.

They originally came here to try their luck, and it turned out they actually found three different magic books. Shi Yichen bought them all without hesitation.

"It's for Frillie again, isn't it?"

Celia looked at the magic book in Shi Yichen's hand.

"There's no way around it, Frilian is most interested in this."

Shi Yichen put the magic book into his magic space.

"I have some unused magic books here; you can take them if you want."
