"Excuse me, where is this place?"

The old man gave him a strange look, but still replied, "This is the Apertido region of the Central Kingdom."

After getting the specific place name, a map automatically appeared in Ye Shanming's mind, and he quickly determined his location. It seemed that the forest where he met Aura was the Alte Forest. It was really a coincidence, because when he first crossed over and met Kraft, it was also in that forest.

Ye Shanming thanked him politely and walked towards the village holding Aura's hand. He planned to rest here for one night and then set off for Celia's residence tomorrow. This sudden time travel made him accumulate a lot of questions, and he urgently needed to find Celia to ask.

There is also the omniscient Shulahat. This legendary demon who can see the future has obviously set his sights on him. Until now, he still doesn't know what Shulahat's purpose is.

"The neighboring kingdom is fighting the Central Kingdom. This place is about to become a battlefield. You'd better take your sister and leave here quickly."

Ye Shanming has always maintained the appearance of being sixteen years old. After hiding the horns on her head, Aura, who was being led by the hand, looked like a human girl of six or seven years old. The old man could not help but mistake them for a pair of siblings and hurriedly persuaded them to leave.

"There's also constant war in the southern continent. I escaped from there when I was young."

As he spoke, the old man sighed, "Who would have thought that even the Central Continent has been so unstable in recent years? I've already sent my son to the North."

"If possible, you should all flee to the north. Although it's the front line of the demonic battlefield, it's at least relatively stable compared to here. Furthermore, the Northern Empire inherited the legacy of the unified empire, so the demons won't be able to attack us anytime soon. We can still live in peace."

Hearing the familiar Unified Empire from the old man's words, Ye Shanming instantly realized that he had been sent to the future. He just didn't know how many years had passed since Volame's death. It seemed that he had to hurry to find Celiai.

Chapter 19: Children should work more.

"Hey, bastard, you brought me for so long just to come to this wasteland?"

Aura put her hands on her hips. Although she was full of fear about the future at the beginning, after spending half a year with Ye Shanming, she unexpectedly discovered that this human did not do anything excessive to her, but only extracted obedience magic from her.

However, she had been living alone in the Alte Forest since she became conscious, and her ability to obey magic was purely a talent, so she had no idea about any magic formulas. This eventually led to Ye Shanming taking time out every night to systematically teach her magic.

As time went by, Aura gradually regained her original personality in front of Ye Shanming and became much bolder. However, for the latter, he would rather Aura remained obedient as she was at the beginning.

"I said, not only did I raise you, I also taught you magic. If you don't like calling me father, you should at least call me teacher."

Ye Shanming mercilessly slapped her on the head. Aula felt pain and couldn't help but squat on the ground with her hands covering her head. She kicked him hard on the calf and said harsh words.

"A mere human wants to be my father? When I find a way to reverse the obedience magic, I will make you kneel down and lick my feet every day!"

"Then you should go to sleep quickly. You can do anything in your dreams."

Ye Shanming glanced at her white and tender little feet and didn't take her words to heart at all. He didn't know how many times he had heard such harsh words. He reached out and grabbed Aura's horn and dragged her forward.

He had come to the place where he and Celiai had lived. The terrain had not changed much, but it was now completely occupied by dense trees.

Walking along the lakeshore, a large flower field came into view. In the flower field, there was a small half-debris of a wooden building. Its original purpose could not be seen. Only Ye Shan knew clearly that this was Volame's original cottage.

Aura was not moved by the beauty of the flower field and tried hard to break free from the big hand that was holding her horn, but her strength was not enough to shake Ye Shanming.

Continuing forward, a stone hall quietly appeared. Unlike what I remembered, the outer walls were covered with vines, and the area close to the ground was also covered with moss, blending in with the mountains and forests.

Without encountering any hindrance, he walked into the hall. The furnishings and arrangements remained the same, except that the numerous precious magic books and the petite figure sitting on the stone chair were gone.

"As expected, he's not here."

Ye Shanming sighed lightly. This situation was within his expectations. On the way here, he found out that it was already five hundred years after Volame's death. The unified empire had long been divided, the southern countries were in constant civil war, and the central continent was also divided into several kingdoms. The northern empire inherited the legacy of the unified empire, but several small countries on its border were also ready to move.

Five hundred years is not a short time, even for elves whose lives are close to eternal. It is not strange that Celie left here.

Fulilian is not here either. Based on what Ye Shanming knows about her, she is probably staying in some mountain valley studying magic and practicing her magic power.

"Who are you looking for here?"

It was the first time that Aura saw a lonely look on Ye Shanming's face, and she felt a little curious.

"My teacher, a very powerful magician, I wanted to ask her for help, but it seems she has left."

"I see. However, humans are such fragile creatures that they can't live for long. If I live a few more decades, you'll die too. Since you're barely my teacher, I'll use obedience magic to make your body into a slave and keep it by my side."

Aura clearly misunderstood the meaning of leaving in Ye Shanming's words. In her sight, Ye Shanming showed a strange expression:

"My teacher is an elf. Honestly, I feel like she'll be fine even if the Demon King dies."

As she spoke, Aura felt a large hand covering her head. A huge force came over her, making her feel as if she was being crushed.

"But you were just cursing me to die!"

"It hurts! Let go! I was wrong. I won't do it again next time!"

Tears of pain welled up in Aula's eyes and she begged for mercy. After Ye Shanming let go of her, she ran away and stayed away from him.

"Stay here for a while. I'll go outside and take a rest. You clean up here."

Ye Shanming walked out of the palace, and Aura's dissatisfied voice came from behind:

"I'm still a child, are you..."

"Children should work harder so they can grow up faster, and you can become the master of your own life sooner."

After fooling Aura with a casual remark, Ye Shanming left the hall, leaving the young demon girl staring at the spacious hall with a dazed look on her face.

Although he said he was going to rest, Ye Shanming actually went to his own residence first. After finding that it had also become a ruin, he simply went into the forest to look for ingredients for dinner.

When he came back, Aura lay weakly on the doorstep, looked at him, and had no intention of moving at all.

"Cleaned up?"

Ye Shanming carried the ingredients in one hand and scooped her up under his arm with his right hand. He walked into the hall to inspect her work. Aura replied with a look of despair on her face:

"It's done. I don't have a drop of magic power or physical strength left."

Bringing Aura to the kitchen, Ye Shanming put down the ingredients and Aura from his hands, pinched her little face, and gave the next instruction in her desperate eyes.

"Very good, then you make dinner."

Aula, who was originally exhausted, suddenly felt a surge of strength from somewhere. He lowered his head, pointed his pair of big horns directly at Ye Shanming's stomach, and charged straight at him.

"I'll fight you!"

Ye Shanming stretched out his hands and grabbed her horns, then threw her far away with a light force. Seeing that Aula continued to rush towards him relentlessly, he hurriedly left the kitchen and closed the door.

"This is all for your rapid growth. You must understand my good intentions."

A voice that sounded particularly hateful to Aura came through the door, causing her to grit her teeth and think that her original thoughts were too kind. This guy deserved to be chopped into pieces.

Since she had lived alone in the forest since she was born, Aura was no stranger to handling these ingredients. She dragged her tired body to prepare dinner for her and Ye Shanming.

"You like it, right? I'll add some toppings for you!"

After serving her own portion, she looked at the remaining food in the pot, and the anger that had been tossing and turning for a day surged in her heart. She took out a plant from her arms, crushed the roots, and poured them all into the pot.

This was something she found on the road. It was a special magical plant that was often used in potions. Eating it alone didn't have any serious effects, but it would make people laugh non-stop for an hour.

Joining this was her resistance to Ye Shanming's ruthless exploitation of labor.

"I'm coming!"

When she thought of the scene after Ye Shanming ate this, her mood suddenly became very good. She quickly moved the food to the dining table and placed the portion with added ingredients in front of Ye Shanming, full of anticipation.

"Eat quickly, you still have to teach me magic after you finish eating."

Ye Shanming looked at her bright smiling face and felt alert in his heart. Over the past six months, whenever she showed this expression, she must be up to something again.

Chapter 20: Little Maid Aura.

Ye Shanming held the spoon and was about to put the food into his mouth. The excitement on Aula's face could hardly be suppressed. Seeing this, Ye Shanming became more convinced that there was something wrong with the food.

Under Aura's disappointed gaze, he pretended to lose his grip and dropped the spoon to the ground, looking apologetic.

"Excuse me, could you get me another clean spoon?"

"Really, such a big person."

Aura complained and turned to run to the kitchen to get him a spoon. Ye Shanming took advantage of the time when she was away and used his superb body control to swap the food between the two of them, leaving the positions exactly the same as before the switch.

After she came back, Ye Shanming began to taste Aula's cooking. The taste was pretty good. It seemed that he could leave all these things to her in the future. He just needed to be more careful to avoid being cheated by her.

Aura had been waiting for the drug to take effect, but several minutes had passed without seeing any abnormality from Ye Shanming. Coincidentally, the latter also looked at her at this time, his face full of concern:

"Why don't you eat? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm just afraid of the heat..."

In order to prevent Ye Shanming from noticing anything unusual, she made an excuse, a few drops of sweat dripped down her forehead, and she quickly started eating.

After just two bites, she felt something was wrong. There was a slight bitter taste in the soup. Then her mouth opened uncontrollably and she laughed wildly:

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Ye Shanming put down the spoon with great interest, supported his head with his hands, and watched her performance. Aura laughed so hard that she rolled off the chair and fell to the ground with her hands on her stomach, even laughing until tears came out.

"Hahahaha...you bastard...ha...they were actually switched..."

She felt like her jaw was about to drop, and her cheeks ached. Ye Shanming pretended to be indifferent and said to himself:

"You performed well today. It seems I can rest assured and leave the cooking and cleaning to you."

“Hahaha… I don’t want to… haha…”

"What did you say? I can't hear you! But you're smiling so happily, you must agree. Remember to wash the dishes."

After a farcical day, Ye Shanming and Aura temporarily stayed in Celiai. He had already understood the fluctuations of time and space travel. On this basis, he had a rough idea of ​​the magic of traveling through the world. However, in order to complete the magic ritual, he still had three problems to solve.

The first is the composition of magic formulas in the space field, the second is the composition of magic formulas in the time field. These two points are necessary to complete the world shuttle, and the third is the coordinates of the original world in time and space.

Without the coordinates of the original world, he would not be able to accurately lock onto the target and could only rely on luck to travel through the world, just like opening a blind box.

Fortunately, the piece of magic stone fragment he brought with him has always been carried with him and has come with him to this era. With the help of the induction between the magic stones, it is not a problem to find the coordinates of the original world.

Therefore, during this period of seclusion, apart from teaching Aura, he spent the rest of his time studying the space transfer magic of Zhat the Shadow.

It has to be said that his space transfer magic perfectly meets Ye Shanming's requirements. As long as it is analyzed, the first problem will be solved directly. As for the time domain, in Ye Shanming's opinion, it most likely depends on the goddess monument that allowed him to travel through time.

"Thinking carefully, these three factors are actually related to the demon attack that day."

Ye Shanming closed his notebook and tapped the table with his index finger:

"The all-knowing Shulahat, the prophet of the demons, who can see the future, why would he help me?"

Ye Shanming was puzzled. He had never even met Shulahat before, and he had no idea what his intentions were.

Thinking this in his mind, he placed his right hand on his chest, and a palm-sized magic circle floated in the air. Then he reached his hand in, and the part that he reached in disappeared out of thin air. When he pulled his hand out again, there was a stone in his hand.

Just as a breeze blew past the window, the seemingly intact stone turned directly into powder. He used the magic of clearing the room to roll the stone powder out of the window and wrote in his notebook:

"Test 467: The storage space of magic is uncertain and will randomly change the state of items after they are taken out. It is suspected that the frequencies of seven magic transmission nodes are incorrect and need to be adjusted."

He looked up and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. It was almost lunchtime. Through the window, he saw Aura sitting on the grass, practicing his magic power. A voice came from afar:

"Aura, it's time to get ready to cook."

Aura opened her eyes, her face filled with displeasure. Her right hand clenched into a fist, her shapeless chest rising and falling. She squeezed out a word from between her teeth:

"it is good!"

During this period, Ye Shanming exploited her value severely. In addition to cooperating with the research on obedience magic, she was also responsible for three meals a day, clothes and room cleaning.

At such a young age, she has already experienced the heavy workload of a human mother every day. Therefore, whenever she has free time, she will work hard to train her magic power, so that one day she can suppress Ye Shanming under her and let him taste her pain.

Aula's petite body was constantly busy in the kitchen. She collected all the ingredients herself from the nearby mountains and forests. Ye Shanming leaned against the door, staring at her carefully to prevent her from adding any more ingredients secretly.

"By the way, why haven't I seen you studying obedience magic in depth lately?"

"In this short life, I have come to understand one thing deeply."

Aura recalled what had happened recently and couldn't help but feel sad: "The more you rely on obedience magic, the more likely you are to fall into unexpected difficulties."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I don't have to obey magic anymore, asshole!"

Aula picked up a fruit and threw it at Ye Shanming's face, but the latter easily caught it in his hand.

"Very good, you have fully realized it, Aura."

Ye Shanming touched her head, but Aura impatiently knocked his hand away. He didn't care: "The greatest advantage of obedience magic is that, as long as time is long enough, you can accumulate a large army."

"But this also means that obedience magic won't be very effective against opponents of equal or greater strength than you, and you can't guarantee that your opponent isn't hiding their magical powers. However, it's quite useful against warriors."

Ye Shanming ate the fruit and left the kitchen, leaving Aura shouting in anger:

"After all, you're the only one who's mastered such a boring technique as concealing your demonic power to the point where even the demons can't see it!"

"Who knows?"

Ye Shanming turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of seriousness:
