I raise elves in Florian

"Hmph! ╯^╰!"

Celia gave a soft snort and turned her head to look elsewhere.

three days later.

"Teacher, Yichen hasn't woken up yet."

Flame looked at Shi Yichen lying on the bed with concern.

"Don't worry! She'll wake up on her own when the time comes, but her body will need a long time to recover."

Celia sat to the side, sipping her red tea, and said that there was nothing she could do about it. She could help heal other injuries, but this was a wound left by time, which was very difficult for her to deal with.

Just as Flame and Celia were talking, Shi Yichen slowly opened his eyes.

"teacher?"

Looking at the familiar figure before her, Shi Yichen hugged Furame tightly. After a thousand years, she saw her teacher again.

"I'm here."

Flame gently stroked Shi Yichen's pale hair and hugged him. If it weren't for her, Shi Yichen would have lived even longer.

Thanks to the goddess's blessing, Shi Yichen's face was restored to its original state, but her long, black, and lustrous hair would never return.

Shi Yichen cried like a child in Flame's arms. Although she was over a thousand years old, she was still the same little girl in Flame's eyes.

"Teacher, my body..."

Shi Yichen felt that his body was in terrible shape, with various injuries all over his body, which could be described as riddled with holes.

"Your injuries will take a long time to heal."

Flame could only shake her head at Shi Yichen's injuries.

"How much time has passed?"

Shi Yichen suddenly remembered her promise to Frilian and didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

"You've been unconscious for three days. What happened?"

Because Flame had just been resurrected, she was unaware of the agreement between Shi Yichen and Frilian.

"I have to go back now; the time I agreed to meet with Frilian is almost here."

Shi Yichen quickly got up. She had promised Frilian that she would return in five days. Counting the day she spent here with Celia, four days had already passed. If she didn't return by tomorrow, Frilian and the others would prepare to leave.

"Teacher, do you want to come back with me?"

Shi Yichen looked at Fulame.

"No, I need time to get used to this body again, and I don't know if there will be any aftereffects since I was just resurrected."

Flame shook her head at Shi Yichen. She couldn't meet Frilian yet. Her existence couldn't be known to the world. The sudden appearance of someone who had been dead for a thousand years would cause a huge sensation in the human world.

All eyes will be on her. Although Flame is the founder of human magic, people are selfish. Who wouldn't want a magic that can bring a dead person back to life, even if it requires paying a huge price?

"That's it!"

Shi Yichen felt a little disappointed. She had been hoping to let Frilian meet Flame as well! This was supposed to be a surprise for Frilian, but this surprise almost killed her.

Such a big surprise for Frilian! If Frilian doesn't marry her, she'll definitely give Frilian's little bottom a good spanking.

But she did not regret it, because it was Flame who gave her hope to live. Otherwise, she would have died more than a thousand years ago. Flame saved her, and she always remembered this kindness.

If I could use my abilities to revive Flame, I would definitely do it. And I have already done it; Flame is standing perfectly intact in front of me.

"Then, teacher, Celia, I'll be going now."

Shi Yichen bid farewell to Flame and Celia, as she now had to return to Frilian's side, otherwise Frilian would worry about her.

She believed that there must be something between her teacher Flame and Celia, after all, Celia was very reluctant to part with Flame, and Flame also regretted not being able to have a proper talk with her teacher.

Although Shi Yichen's life energy was reduced by more than half, fortunately, she had the blessing of the goddess within her, which allowed her to last for another hundred years. Don't forget that Shi Yichen was ultimately just a human being; it's good that she didn't die.

If Flame hadn't been resurrected, Shi Yichen could have lived for a very, very long time, but she didn't give up on resurrecting Flame just because she had almost eternal time; she wasn't that selfish.

But doing so hurt Frilian, and Shi Yichen knew in her heart that she was very sorry to Frilian, since she could have stayed with Frilian forever.

But now she only has one hundred years left. If she dies, her teacher Flame will die with her. This is really unfair to Frilian. How could Shi Yichen not know this? But she doesn't regret it.

She has a hundred years left, and she will find a way to continue living. She wants Flame and herself to be able to stay with Frilian forever. She and her teacher love Frilian the most, so how could they let Frilian be alone?

King's capital.

library.

Besides spending time with Haita and the others, Simmel has been spending the rest of her time in the library these past few days.

"Flame, the founding father of human magic?"

Simmel looked at the book in her hand, along with the introduction to Flame and a blurry illustration, but it was clear that the woman in the book was the same woman in the photograph of Frilian's family.

"Is that so? Can humans really live for over a thousand years?"

Simmel closed the book and put it back in its place. Although he didn't believe that humans could live that long, the facts were undeniable.

Shi Yichen and Frilian are both disciples of Flame. Frilian has lived so long because she is an elf.

But how could Shi Yichen, a human, have lived for so long? This was something Simmel couldn't believe.

"Perhaps I'm seeing things!"

Simmel preferred to believe he was mistaken rather than accept that humans could live for over a thousand years.

Simmel didn't intend to think about it any further, and turned to leave the library to meet up with Haita and the others.

While shopping for supplies with Haita and the others, Frilian looked in a certain direction as if she had someone else on her mind, and saw the person she had been longing for day and night.

Frilian rushed over and hugged Shi Yichen, who in turn pulled Frilian into his arms and gently stroked her hair.

"Why did it take you so long to come back? I thought something had happened to you!"

Frilian asked Shi Yichen from her arms.

"And what happened to your hair? And why does it look so old? Why is it like this?"

Frillie was surprised to find that Shi Yichen seemed to have changed; he looked much older. Although his appearance hadn't changed, he gave off a strange feeling.

How could things have turned out like this when only a few days had passed? Frilian was very puzzled, as if Shi Yichen wouldn't live much longer.

"It's okay, I did something I've never done before."

Shi Yichen gently patted Frilian's head to reassure her. How could she possibly tell Frilian that she only had a hundred years to live? If Frilian found out, that would be terrible.

"What is it?"

Frilian wanted to know what Shi Yichen had done to turn himself into this state.

"It's a secret. You'll find out later, and you'll be very grateful to me."

Shi Yichen wouldn't tell anyone! This was a surprise for Frilian. Once they got to Celia's place, she would take Frilian to see Flame.

Let her know what a surprise is.

What the hell do you mean by "surprise"?

What the hell is this "TM's surprise"?
