Chapter 373: The Girl from the Future

The matter of the sages has come to an end, and Lingyun has once again entered into a peaceful life. As for the Great Alchemist Nina Adilade, under the recommendation of Nangong Nayue, she became a member of the Itogami Island Security Forces, responsible for developing various special metals, which could be considered a sense of belonging.

Of course, this woman would also occasionally visit Nangong Nayue's Villa to see Yese Xiayin, or go to Xiao Gucheng's home to tease this underage, half-baked Fourth Progenitor, often leaving Xiao Gucheng's household in chaos; her days could be considered quite fulfilling.

"It seems that Itogami Island has been relatively peaceful during this time!" Lingyun gently closed the book in his hand and said to Nangong Nayue beside him.

"Your days are comfortable, but mine haven't been so easy. A while ago, the Security Forces lost quite a few people due to incorrect orders, and I've been incredibly busy lately!" Nangong Nayue, holding a cup of black tea, rolled her eyes at Lingyun.

"You are still so concerned about the affairs of the Security Forces!" Lingyun said.

"Perhaps, after all, that is a place where I have worked for many years," Nangong Nayue sighed and said.

"Suit yourself. Of course, if you encounter anything unpleasant, just tell me; there are some things you don't want to do, but I have no pressure doing them!" Lingyun said.

Nangong Nayue looked at Lingyun and nodded silently.

"By the way, did you just leave that Great Alchemist Nina on Itogami Island like that?" Lingyun asked.

"She herself did not violate the management regulations of Itogami Island, and since the Security Forces are currently short of manpower, I kept her!"

"Heh, you know what she's been doing lately; aren't you afraid she'll blow up Xiao Gucheng's house?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jealousy! I see that lately, whether it's Himeragi Yukina or Aiba Asagi, both have a tendency to go berserk!"

"Xiao Gucheng will eventually establish his own Empire. As the Night Emperor, if he can't even handle such matters, then he would be too much of a failure!" Nangong Nayue said.

"Hmm, what is this situation?" Lingyun suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"Although it was only for an instant, I felt a fluctuation in time and space!" Lingyun said. As an existence capable of wandering through the River of Time and Space, Lingyun is extremely sensitive to the power of time and space; although it was only for an instant, he still captured this imperceptible ripple.

"A fluctuation in time and space?" Nangong Nayue's brows lifted slightly.

"Let's go, let's go outside and take a look!"

Lingyun walked on the street, his gaze sweeping rapidly over the people present. In his perception, there was a trace of lingering time and space power on this street.

"That person, is she a transfer student?" Nangong Nayue suddenly pointed to a figure not far away and said.

Lingyun followed the direction Nangong Nayue pointed and happened to see Himeragi Yukina darting around on the street. Judging by her appearance, she seemed extremely interested in every single thing here.

"Hey, Yuejiang, are you sure this person is Himeragi Yukina? I remember Himeragi Yukina's personality isn't this lively!" Lingyun said.

Although the aura on this girl was very similar to Himeragi Yukina's, and her face was even more similar to hers, he could be certain that this person was definitely not Himeragi Yukina.

"To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen a transfer student be this lively!" Nangong Nayue said.

"Eh, this, is this the legendary Yuejiang and Teacher Lingyun?" As soon as she saw Lingyun and the other, the girl ran over excitedly.

"It must be them, I've often heard him mention Teacher Lingyun and Yuejiang before!" The girl stopped in front of the two and said with an excited face.

With a "slap," the girl directly patted her hand onto Nangong Nayue's head and rubbed it vigorously back and forth.

"Wow! It's just like the legends, she really is a little girl; I really don't know how she manages that! By the way, I heard Yuejiang also has an extremely rare adult form; what does that look like?"

"It's only been a short while since we last met—"

"Slap, slap, slap." Nangong Nayue's face turned black instantly, and several "vein" symbols popped up on her forehead.

"Transfer student, your tone has become quite arrogant!"

With a "snap," Nangong Nayue, with blue veins bulging on her temples, swung the fan in her hand and struck it heavily on the girl's forehead.

"Oowah!" The girl's body tilted backward abruptly, and she let out a cry of pain.

"You brat... what is this feeling?"

At that instant, Nangong Nayue looked at the hand holding the fan, and her voice suddenly became stiff.

"Oowah, don't! Please, please stop..." The girl suddenly let out a cry of pain.

Nangong Nayue suddenly reached out, grabbed the girl's chest, and began to knead it vigorously. Fortunately, Lingyun had deployed a Shielding Array at this moment, otherwise, Nangong Nayue's actions would definitely have made tomorrow's news headlines.

Lingyun raised his brows slightly, then walked to Nangong Nayue's side and pulled her away: "That's enough, isn't it!"

Nangong Nayue clicked her tongue, seemingly unhappy that Lingyun had interrupted her act of retaliation. On the other side, the girl covered her chest with both hands and quickly hid behind Lingyun.

"Th-that, Teacher Lingyun, Teacher Nayue, I still have some things to do, so I'll be going first!" The girl bowed to Lingyun and then quickly fled the scene.

"Did you notice, that girl..." Watching the girl walk away, Nangong Nayue suddenly said to Lingyun.

"Well, a girl from the future, huh. Although the power of time and space on her is already very thin, the feeling that she is out of place in this world still told me her identity." Lingyun spread his hands and said.

"What identity do you think she has?" Nangong Nayue said.

"Haven't you already figured it out? This girl is the daughter of Xiao Gucheng and the transfer student!" Lingyun said with a smile. "In other words, the Princess of the future Night Empire!"

"But, why would she go to the trouble of traveling through decades of time to come to this Itogami Island now?"

"I don't know about that; I'm not a mind reader!"

"Regardless, we don't know what kind of incidents a person who came here from the future will cause. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her for a while!" Nangong Nayue said.

"No problem." Lingyun nodded.

After moving far away from Lingyun and Nangong Nayue, the girl let out a soft breath: "I can only say, as expected of the Teacher Lingyun who has always been praised by Father; just standing in front of him made the familiar beast within me feel a huge crisis and lie dormant, not daring to make the slightest move."

After standing in place for a while, a light suddenly flashed in the girl's eyes: "I wonder what the lives of Father and Dr. Asagi are like at this time; should I go take a look?"

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face, and then she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
