Chapter 118: Despairing of a World Where You Can Only Become Stronger by Reading

"So, were you attracted by my blood?"

Five minutes later, after hearing Yun Mu's explanation, Brenna said with some surprise.

"That's right, I must have been drawn by the scent of blood in my sleep, which is why I crawled into your bed!" Yun Mu said righteously.

Heaven and earth can bear witness, she was telling the truth this time!

If there was even half a word of a lie, she would... forget it, there was no need to swear.

This wasn't being cowardly; she was simply following the choice of her heart.

"My blood shouldn't have anything special about it compared to other humans," Brenna said after thinking for a moment.

"You being attracted to it is likely because I am a Third-rank Transcendent, and the energy contained in my blood far exceeds that of an ordinary human," she said.

"Third-rank Transcendent?" Hearing her words, Yun Mu was somewhat surprised and said, "I thought you were a Fourth Order Master."

The High-level Transcendents she had encountered previously.

Sixin, the president of the Painter Association, Edward, the owner of Sisilaiya Cafe, and the Scarlet Messenger Natavia, were all Fourth Order Master-level Transcendents.

This led her to subconsciously assume that as a Princess of the Frost Kingdom, Brenna would also be a Fourth Order Master-level Transcendent.

Unexpectedly... "What is that surprised expression for?" Brenna said with her hands on her hips, somewhat dissatisfied, "This lady is still young."

"Being able to become a Third-rank Transcendent at this age is already quite impressive, okay?"

"Is, is that so?" Yun Mu felt a bit ashamed.

She had only transmigrated here nine days ago and hadn't been in contact with the Supernatural for long.

She truly didn't know much about this basic information.

However, hearing Brenna say this, she did indeed recall that Sixin and Edward didn't seem particularly young.

And the Scarlet Messenger Natavia... that person was simply pulled up by a god in one go; she couldn't be counted as a normal contestant at all.

If Sixin, Edward, and Brenna were all diligent, technical, "liver-emperor" players, then Natavia was a cheater.

Promoting from an Apprentice to a Master in just a few short days.

The power of a god is truly terrifying.

"Spend more time reading books when you have time," Brenna said to her.

"You can read any of the books on the bookshelf in my room at will, just be careful not to damage them."

As she spoke, she pointed her finger at the cedar bookshelf next to the wardrobe.

"I, I will find time to read..." Yun Mu twitched the corner of her mouth.

Read, read, read—why did it feel like she had to read every day after transmigrating?

Is this the real Supernatural world? You have to read to become stronger!

A poor student arriving in another world is still a poor student! This is just too Grass.

"Sigh."

Sighing lightly, Yun Mu could only accept this fact.

Reading is reading, I suppose. Actually, compared to the very dangerous method of fighting people to gradually become stronger, reading is indeed much more stable and safer.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A series of knocks suddenly came from outside the room.

"Princess, breakfast is ready," Elena said, knocking on the door with a calm expression.

"I know," Brenna replied.

She looked at Yun Mu and smiled softly.

"Hurry up and change your clothes and wash up; it's almost time to enjoy breakfast."

"About changing clothes..."

Brenna hesitated slightly; she wanted to say that since they were both sleeping in the same room, avoiding each other while changing clothes was really a bit redundant.

However, the next second, Yun Mu understood her intention in advance and said, "It's okay, I can go to the Painted World to change clothes; I definitely won't peek."

"The Painted World?"

"Isn't that only for Third-rank... wait, you are already a Second-rank Painter?"

Hearing her words, Brenna was first very surprised, then asked her as if she had thought of something.

"Mm, I advanced yesterday morning," Yun Mu nodded. "That's not strange then."

"No wonder you were able to escape from the Church's capture... wait, that missing priest wouldn't have been captured by you, would he!"

"Priest? Hiss... that's right, I did capture that priest!"

Hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled that the priest was still locked up in the captain's cabin of the Cold Crow inside the Painted World.

She had completely forgotten about him; fortunately, he had only been locked up for one night, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Should I let him out now?" Yun Mu thought for a moment and said.

"No!" Brenna retorted without hesitation.

She was still wearing that light purple nightgown, and as far as she knew, the priest who had been captured was a man.

How could she let him out at a time like this!

"Ahem." She cupped her hand in front of her mouth, coughed lightly, and said sternly, "Regarding changing clothes, just do it in my room."

"Since we are both sleeping in the same room, avoiding each other while changing clothes is really a bit redundant..."

"Really? Yay!" Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Mu said very excitedly.

"..."

Brenna slightly supported her forehead.

Why did she suddenly feel a bit of regret?

Fortunately, when changing clothes, Yun Mu didn't do anything unusual.

She just stared at her from time to time, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

However, she did not know that Yun Mu had actually been secretly comparing a certain part of their bodies.

Then she hummed.

Yun Mu proudly puffed out her chest and walked out of the room with Brenna.

"What is this person so happy about?" Brenna, walking beside her, looked puzzled.

The two walked to the room where Elena was, which was the place where Yun Mu trained every night.

The moment Yun Mu stepped into the room, a powerful pressure suddenly weighed down on her!

"Hiss!"

She shuddered violently and, almost subconsciously, began to walk with the elegant posture Elena had taught her.

"Hmm."

Nodding in relative satisfaction, Elena withdrew her gaze.

As for Yun Mu, her attention was involuntarily drawn to the food on the dining table.

First were the croissants, shaped like ram's horns and baked to a golden brown on the surface, plus black pepper sausages emitting a charred aroma.

Paired with a healthy lettuce salad, jam, milk, and boiled eggs, this was their breakfast for today.

"Did Ms. Elena make these?" Yun Mu asked Brenna in a low voice.

"Of course." Brenna nodded with a light laugh, then responded in an equally low voice: "Elena's father was the Chef of the Royal Cuisine, so she has been proficient in Cooking since she was a child."

"By the way, even if we speak very quietly, Elena can still hear us." She said, winking at Yun Mu.

"Uh."

Hearing her words, Yun Mu immediately looked at Elena in great embarrassment.

She was still not very used to dealing with the Transcendental of this world; encountering a situation like this, she truly wished she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with her toes.

But then again... Brenna's breakfast really was made by Elena!

No wonder she would read books related to cooking; she liked her even more now!

However, she was also curious about one point in Brenna's words.

Why would the daughter of the Chef of the Royal Cuisine come to be a princess's Shadow Guard? Could there be some hidden story behind this?

PS: Royal Cuisine, you can understand what kind of organization this is just by the literal meaning.

It's mainly because I'm too lazy to explain it; oh my, it's such a hassle.

Why would there be any need to explain something whose meaning you can tell just by looking at the name?
