I raise elves in Florian

The room fell silent late into the night. Shi Yichen and Celia lay naked together, drenched in sweat, the sheets soaked through.

Shi Yichen was already asleep from exhaustion. Celia looked at Shi Yichen with a tired expression, gently stroking the sleeping Shi Yichen's cheek and smoothing the hair on Shi Yichen's forehead that was wet with sweat.

Looking at Shi Yichen in his sleep, Celia leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then gradually closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

…………

the next day.

early morning.

"Hi~"

Shi Yichen slowly opened his eyes. He moved his body slightly and immediately felt a soreness in his back and waist. He had gone too far yesterday, which caused him to feel unwell today.

However, that feeling was truly wonderful. Looking at Celia, who was still asleep in his arms, Shi Yichen smiled gently.

Shi Yichen carefully broke free from Celia's embrace and got off the bed. Her flawless body still bore the marks of their playful fight the night before.

(Don't get the wrong idea! I didn't do anything, really nothing. I'm the author, you have to believe me.)

There were several bright red marks on her chest, which looked like bite marks, and there were also scratch marks from Celia's fingers on her back.

(This happened accidentally during a playful fight; it meant nothing by it, really nothing.)

A beam of holy light flashed, and the marks and scratches on Shi Yichen's body disappeared. He felt completely relaxed, and the pain in his body was gone. His back and legs no longer ached.

"I am leaving."

After changing his clothes, Shi Yichen looked at the exhausted Celia who was still sleeping, gently kissed her lips, and then quietly left the room.

After Shi Yichen left the room and closed the door, Celia opened her eyes wearily, wrapped herself in a sheet, and got off the bed. Barefoot, she went to the window and smiled gently as she watched Shi Yichen's departing figure.

"Knock knock knock."

Just then, there was a knock on Celia's door.

Celia knew without a second thought that Flame had arrived. With a wave of her hand, the entire room was restored to normal, even the traces of the battle from the previous night disappeared, and she was dressed again.

"Enter."

Celia resumed her usual demeanor and spoke towards the door.

"Click."

Flame opened the door and came in.

"Flame, what are you doing here?"

Celia looked at Flame who had just walked in and asked.

"Did something happen between you and Yichen last night? She seems a bit different today. I don't know if I'm seeing things."

Flame looked at Celia with a puzzled expression. Not only had Shi Yichen's aura changed, but Flame also noticed that Celia's aura had changed as well. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that something had happened between the two of them.

"You're overthinking things. You'd be better off spending your time managing the Continental Magic Association, since there are a lot of people just filling in the ranks lately."

Celia didn't follow up on Flame's words, but instead changed the subject. There were some things that she and Shi Yichen knew, and now was not the time to talk about them.

"I see."

Flame nodded and left Celia's room. She always felt that Celia and Shi Yichen were getting closer, and even when Celia called Shi Yichen's name, there was a hint of affection in her voice.

"Probably not?"

Flame suddenly thought of a possibility, but felt it was very likely. Both Frilian and Celia had been with Shi Yichen for over a thousand years, during which time anything could have happened.

Flame suddenly felt her head was about to explode. No wonder Celia had stopped letting her call her teacher eighty years ago, saying it was for her own good. Good heavens, so this was what she was waiting for.

She explained why there were strange noises coming from Celia's room last night, and the changes in Shi Yichen and Celia's auras this morning made it clear what had happened.

Flame shook her head. As long as Shi Yichen treated them well, whether it was Celia or Frilian, she didn't want to concern herself with so many other things.

The continental magic association kept her busy with all sorts of things. Flame was very serious about her work, unlike Celia who was so lazy.

"What a crazy night."

Celia stroked the sword-shaped mark left by Shi Yichen on her neck, recalling what happened last night. She had only intended to collect some interest, but she never expected it to develop like this.

"Such immense power, no wonder he is the one chosen by the goddess."

Celia could feel the power belonging to Shi Yichen within her body. This was because last night she had accidentally bitten Shi Yichen's tongue and drunk some of his blood, which had increased Celia's already enormous magical power even further.

"Ok?"

Celia suddenly noticed a delicate little box next to her pillow. If it wasn't hers, then it must belong to Shi Yichen, since only Shi Yichen and she would sleep in this bed.

Celia was so busy looking at Shi Yichen that she didn't notice this thing by her pillow. She guessed that Shi Yichen put it there before he left.

Celia walked to the bedside, picked up the delicate little box, and opened it to find a beautiful gold gemstone necklace and a ring.

"You're very thoughtful."

Celia looked at the necklace and ring in her hand. They looked beautiful. Moreover, the necklace and ring were magical items. Shi Yichen had inscribed many kinds of defensive and offensive magic on them.

Not only Celia's necklace and ring, but also those of her Frilian and Philon have offensive and defensive magic engraved on them, but the prerequisite for triggering them is being in mortal danger.

Celia put the necklace and ring on her neck and fingers. She would have been even happier if Shi Yichen had put them on for her.

…………

the other side.

After several days of travel, Shi Yichen returned to Frilian's side.

As soon as they met, Frilian hugged Shi Yichen tightly. In just over ten days, it felt like several years had passed for Frilian, and each day was more and more unbearable.

Frilian held Shi Yichen in her arms, greedily inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from her body.

"Slept with Celia again?"

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen with suspicion. Since five hundred years ago, Celia's aura had never dissipated from Shi Yichen. Shi Yichen did not hide anything from Frilian and told her everything directly.

Frillie never said she disliked Celia; they simply had different beliefs, but that didn't stop them from caring for each other.

When Frilian learned that the two had slept together, she simply nodded and said nothing.

She had known for a long time that Celia liked Shi Yichen very much, not just for his talent, but more so for Shi Yichen as a person.

"Yes, I slept with Celia again because of certain things."
