Chapter 28 After Sobering Up 2
Chapter 28 After Sobering Up 2
(The main character has washed up and brushed their teeth.)
(My breath won't smell bad.)
The silvery dew of the early morning gathers in a tranquil yet bustling scene.
Lynn was on his way to old Abel's cottage when, as he passed the ancient tree in the center of the settlement, he bumped into the last person he wanted to see at that moment—
Elune.
She stood under the ancient tree, still wearing that simple, dark green robe, her silver hair neatly tied back.
Her demeanor remained aloof and detached.
Her appearance remains beautiful.
The morning light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on her, making her appear holy and distant.
If you ignore her expression at that moment.
Of course, this cannot be ignored.
The moment Elune saw Lynn, a fleeting, unnatural panic crossed her face.
A faint blush rose to her fair cheeks at a visible speed, and her fingers unconsciously twisted her sleeves—this appearance was completely different from her usual aloof and dignified elder image.
verified.
Elune is an i-human. (Well, more like an i-elf.)
"Mr. Lynn..."
"Good...good morning." Elune's voice was several octaves lower than usual, and her words were unusually shy, making one want to tease her a little.
But Lynn didn't dare.
After all, his King-level strength is undeniable.
"Elder Elune, good morning." Lynn gave a polite elven greeting, trying to make his expression look natural.
The air between the two was eerily quiet.
After about three seconds, Elune suddenly bowed deeply—a standard bow from a disciple to his master.
"I...I'm so sorry about what happened last night."
Her voice trembled slightly, and the tips of her fair ears turned bright red, adding to her delicate yet contrasting beauty.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lynn, I was drunk last night and did... that inappropriate thing."
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, I..."
Lynn found it quite novel to see Elune in this state.
What kind of plot is this?
What about the story of a cool, serious, and beautiful teacher from a previous life turning into a pure and shy high school girl?
"It's alright," Lynn quickly replied.
Lynn was puzzled by Elune's state; could it be after marriage?
The aloof, elven elder will transform into a doting little wife?
He paused, then asked cautiously, "How much...do you remember?"
Elune's face turned even redder.
She lowered her head, staring at her toes, her voice barely audible: "Most... I remember."
It’s over.
Am I really getting married?
Lynn was somewhat at a loss.
This is not the storyline he envisioned; he shouldn't have gotten married so early.
"That... natural contract thing..."
Lynn tried to explain, "I really just wanted to become a druid, I didn't think about—"
"I see."
Elune raised her head, her hands clasped in front of her chest. The blush on her face hadn't faded, but her eyes became unusually serious: "The responsibility for this lies with me."
"If it weren't for the mistakes I made while drunk, Mr. Lynn, you would certainly have a better future."
"I will try my best to find a way to resolve this."
At this point, Elune's momentum weakened, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Although ancient texts record that once a natural contract is formed..."
Actually, this contract, aside from things like getting married, doesn't involve anything else.
You don't need to get married now.
Lynn didn't lose out at all. (So, you lost out by marrying Elune??)
"No need, I don't have anything to lose anyway!" Lynn waved her hand in refusal.
Lynn knew that Elune didn't like spending time on trivial matters other than studying the Way of Nature.
Anyway, it can't be solved.
Moreover... he gained nearly a thousand years of lifespan for no reason, and his strength also increased.
I heard that it's not necessary.
Elune visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when I heard "It's nothing anyway"...
Elune hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "How could there be nothing?"
"After completing the contract with you last night, I felt countless natural insights flooding into my mind."
Speaking of this, Elune's eyes began to light up, with the gleam of a navigator discovering a new continent.
Lynn had seen this expression many times in his past life—whenever Elune made a breakthrough in nature magic.
at the same time.
A faint green glow began to emanate from Elune's body, and some kind of spell began to be constructed in front of her.
"Those insights were very profound and peculiar. I tried to analyze them, and I actually vaguely touched upon the prototypes of a few... Emperor-level Druid spells."
Her voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, and her hands kept moving.
"This is incredible!"
"Mr. Lynn, you are a child of nature, a great prophet who is closest to nature, which is why the way of nature enlightens you so without reservation."
Elune was very excited when she said these words.
Whether from exhaustion or excitement, her breathing was somewhat rapid.
But Lynn glanced at the magic she had created.
His lips twitched.
Isn't this the Emperor-level magic he developed in his previous life—[Great Compassion Thousand-Handed Wooden Guanyin]?
However, after Lynn's lips twitched, he said, "Perhaps it is a gift from nature to you. After all, you have been protecting the forest for so many years, it's time for you to make a breakthrough."
"No."
Elune shook her head, her emerald eyes fixed on Lynn, her expression resolute: "Those insights... contained your presence."
"I can sense it—it's your understanding, your insight."
She stepped forward, her tone becoming increasingly respectful, her eyes filled with admiration: "Mr. Lynn, your mastery of the Way of Nature far surpasses my imagination."
"Those subtle grasps of the resonance with the elements of nature, that profound understanding of the rhythm of life... I have studied for four hundred years, yet I am still far inferior to you."
Lynn: "..."
You taught me well in my past life.
Master, please don't do this.
Seeing Elune's fanatical expression, Lynn panicked a little.
"From this day forward, in the study of the Way of Nature, please regard me as your student," Elune said solemnly.
"I will serve you faithfully, and I hope you will not hesitate to share your insights."
She bowed again.
This time, Lynn was unable to dodge.
Several elves happened to be passing by and, upon seeing this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Elder Elune... bowed to the new Child of Nature?
And he still calls himself a student?
Still serving?
No?
The script has gone off track.
Shouldn't I be your student?
How did you become my fangirl?
Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn quickly helped Elune up: "Elder, please don't do this."
"Let's just... treat each other normally."
"Yes, teacher, I'll listen to you." Elune readily agreed.
"And don't call me teacher!"
"Understood, Prophet." Elune nodded.
"And don't call me 'sir' either."
"Then... Mr. Lynn."
Looking at Elune's respectful demeanor, as if to say, "Whatever you say, I'll do as you say,"...
Lynn was somewhat puzzled.
Does that mean you really listen to everything I say?
Lynn sized up Elune's beautiful figure and long, slender legs.
Ok?
Lynn understood.
Tom's wicked grin.GIF
Should we make it a school rule that students must wear black stockings to class?
Hmm, no, white stockings are better.
The shredded pork seems alright too.
Or, a fishing net?
No, only children make choices. I, Lynn, want them all.
Thinking of this, Lynn spoke up, "Elder Elune..."
"Mr. Lynn, I'm here."
