Chapter 85: Sisters in Bloom and the Wizard Academy【Two‑in‑One 5k】

Looking at Lu'anna, whose complexion was calm but whose ear tips were flushed, after her delicate body trembled she pretended as if nothing had happened, and Fulade couldn't help but slightly curl the corner of his mouth.

As Fulade's fingers slid, Lu'anna finally couldn't hold back and turned, giving Fulade a shy, glaring look.

But the faint tear glimmer in her eyes made the Fulade, who had intended to continue flirting, feel a sudden surprise.

Before Fulade could think further, Lu'anna clenched her red lips, turned, embraced Fulade's face for a passionate kiss, then ran off with a look of resentment.

Leaving a bewildered Fulade behind, she stood in place, watching Lu'anna's distant retreating silhouette.

After a good half‑minute, Fulade finally realized, "I—I was forcedly kissed."

But thinking of the Centaur Maiden, whose resentful gaze he saw as she left, Fulade couldn't help recalling a phrase: "Dao Heart Broken."

Late night.

As the bed shuddered, a small hand reached out toward Fulade.

Fortunately, the alert Fulade grabbed that sinful little hand in one go and looked at its owner.

It turned out to be the crimson‑faced Ailu, who had sneaked in for a night raid.

Looking at the Centaur girl before him, who was usually shy and even a bit timid.

When confronting her own feelings, she could always unleash the wild side within, and Fulade could only sigh, "Truly fitting of a Centaur."

Gazing into the darkness at Ailu's fair, pretty face flushed crimson, eyes sparkling with anticipation, Fulade paused briefly and whispered in her ear:

"Go down."

Hearing that, Ailu visibly froze, but soon her eyes filled with a mist, her expression contorted, and she groped downward.

After a rustling sound, Fulade's complexion suddenly turned odd.

As Ailu gradually entered a blissful state, her face became dreamy~.

At some point, another sinful little hand attacked the two of them in the night.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

As that faint voice sounded.

Under the blanket, the buried‑head Ailu's delicate body trembled visibly, froze on the spot, and looked at Fulade helplessly.

Looking at Leiya's curious expression, Fulade cleared his throat, "Your sister is studying; why did you come?"

"Hum, sister even lied saying she was going to the bathroom, didn't expect she'd be sneaking tasty food here."

Now it's Fulade's turn; he couldn't hold back any longer.

He gave Leiya a strange look, then glanced at the embarrassed Ailu.

No need to say more; seeing Ailu under the blanket, shy yet earnest, seriously giving instruction.

Fulade suddenly felt a strong sense of incongruity.

Why does it feel like filming a little movie?

That night, not only Fulade was tormented; inside the room, Lu'anna also stared at the ceiling beam with a complicated expression.

Listening to faint scuffling sounds from outside, Lu'anna's angry face could not settle.

Early the next morning.

Lu'anna, with heavy panda eyes, glared at Fulade with resentment, then turned and left without looking back.

Seeing Lu'anna's resentful gaze, even Fulade's thick skin felt a bit awkward.

However, when the two sisters followed out, their faces flushed as they left the room, Fulade raised an eyebrow, clearly recalling last night's absurdity.

At this moment, the sisters showed no trace of the previous night's wantonness when they saw Fulade.

Ailu, as usual, became easily shy upon seeing Fulade, especially after last night's events, and dared not look up.

Leiya's eyes flickered briefly, then she gave her sister a rather restrained glance before whispering a tiny tongue flick at Fulade, still showing a hint of mischief.

Fulade did not stay long in the Centaur Secret Realm.

He left here on the morning three days later.

Perhaps they knew Fulade was about to depart.

The two sisters were very proactive, taking turns each night to milk~ and drink.

Looking at the sisters whose faces bore faint~ marks, Fulade let out a gentle sigh.

"Brother Fulade, we really can't bear to leave you," Leiya said in a blushing, delicate voice.

On the other side, Ailu also blinked, showing a look full of reluctance.

"Don't worry, we'll meet again sooner or later; it won't be long, I promise," Fulade said gently, stroking their hair.

Indeed it won't be long, because Fulade learned that the Holy Court had dispatched a massive force, working to halt the spreading Wolf Disaster.

If the chance arose, Fulade wouldn't mind wiping out the Holy Court's main troops in one go, thereby weakening its power.

At daybreak, Fulade bid farewell to everyone, and under the respectful escort of the Centaur Chieftain, his party left the Secret Realm in a grand procession.

The reason it was a party, of course, was that it included Weiluona and three Vampire Brides, as well as the Witch Famic, who brought supplies to aid the Centaur.

It was precisely to wait for those people carrying supplies that Fulade stayed here so many days.

As Fulade returned to Wallachia, the long‑pressured affairs surged toward him instantly.

So during the first few days, Fulade found it hard to free himself; fortunately, Malina understood.

But what gave Fulade a headache was also Malina—why? Of course, the appearance of Xiao Aisha made Malina feel threatened.

Consequently, Fulade had to put marriage on the agenda, which finally calmed Malina down.

However, marriage is not something that happens in a moment.

Especially since Malina entered the Wizard Academy and plunged headfirst into the sea of magic and sorcery.

Had she not learned of Fulade's return, Malina would still have stayed in the Wizard Academy, refusing to come out.

This also caused Finance Minister Count Maise Lande, upon seeing Fulade, to complain quite a bit.

After finishing his current tasks, looking at the three idle girls in the study, Fulade couldn't help rolling his eyes in irritation.

"You three are doing this on purpose to annoy me, right? Was the punishment last night too light!"

Hearing the word "punishment" from Fulade's mouth, the three women blushed shamefully and all glared at the mischievous Malisika.

The women had originally rebelled collectively because Fulade had been away for a long time and hadn't taken them, but within two days a traitor emerged from within.

Thinking of the humiliating scene last night, especially Weiluona, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at Malisika.

Because she had never been with Malisika and the others before, she didn't know Malisika's many tricks and hobbies.

This made Weiluona's face and ears turn red, so when she got up today she was still a bit overwhelmed.

Watching the squabbling Weiluona and the others, Fulade thought for a moment and said to them:

"Stop messing around; handling the proper business is urgent."

Noticing Fulade's serious expression, Weiluona, Ailina, and Malisika all became serious.

Clearly the three knew their limits, and Fulade was quite pleased with that.

"The information relayed through Holy Court informants suggests the Holy Court has vaguely sensed our existence, but they are currently distracted by the Wolf Disaster, so they have overlooked us."

"Thus we don't have much time to develop."

Hearing Fulade's solemn words, they exchanged glances, and Weiluona stepped forward saying, "Master~ please give orders."

"Weiluona, you've dealt with Victor and his group; that area is yours. Try to delay the time until the Wolf Disaster is eliminated, and covertly weaken the Holy Court's power."

"At the same time, in Transylvania and Wallachia, secretly establish churches, grow followers; those who pass the assessment can become vampires for armament. This task is assigned to Ailina." At this point, Fulade looked at Ailina.

"Given your former identity as a church nun, you should know how to build a church, right?"

Facing Fulade's assignment, Ailina had no hesitation.

Fulade nodded appreciatively and said, "In the various Xiudaoyuan, many monks and nuns have been assimilated by us; you can seek them to help you establish the church and guide followers."

He paused there, showing a hint of contemplation.

Nearby, Malisika, seeing her sisters all assigned tasks while she was omitted, anxiously called out.

"Master~ what about me, what about me?" After a moment of thought, Fulade said, "While you assist Ailina in establishing the church, also found the Shadow Hall, train extraordinary assassins, and handle intelligence work."

"From now on, we must accelerate the accumulation of strength, understand?" Fulade's expression was stern as he stood and warned the group.

After the group set out on their missions, a clatter of iron armor rang out; Imperial Guard Captain Dumitelu entered and whispered something to Fulade.

"Then prepare the carriage; it's a good chance to go out for a walk." Fulade nodded and ordered.

It was noon.

A carriage traveled along a somewhat steep mountain road.

The road was narrow, less than the length of two carriages; on the outside rose cliffs a hundred zhang high, and ahead and behind were dozens of Imperial Knights in silver armor.

In the carriage, Fulade looked at the curious little girl before him and said, "You rarely go out, Sonia."

Opposite him, the restrained yet slightly lively little girl was Victor's daughter, Sonia.

At this moment, Sonia, dressed in a black‑and‑white maid's long dress, peered curiously out the window, looking out with great curiosity.

Hearing Fulade's voice, the little girl's face flushed as she looked at him, her gaze wandering as she whispered, "Father rarely took me out before; since coming here I've just stayed in the castle and never gone out."

Looking at the flushed little girl before him, how could Fulade not know she was already daydreaming?

As his personal maid, Sonia had been attending him closely these past days.

Naturally she was aware of the absurdity of last night to some extent.

Though in the end she couldn't help it and fled in panic.

Yet the mental shock to her hadn't lessened at all, so whenever she saw Fulade she involuntarily recalled the ridiculous scene from last night.

This was even more shocking than when she was with Aunt Amelia.

She just didn't know why, Sonia wouldn't think about it, yet she couldn't help it.

Thus, at this moment she constantly feels that somewhere is always damp.

Seeing the little girl suddenly become distant in expression, Fulade couldn't help feeling like he was a demon with horns.

"Uh, no, that's not right—what does 'like' even mean? It was just fine as it is."

He didn't pay any more attention, the little girl immersed in her own world.

Instead, he looked toward the wizard academy on the mountaintop.

The wizard academy had undergone a massive renovation and was completely transformed.

No trace of the Kexiya Grand Monastery remained here.

When Fulade entered the wizard academy, a strong academic atmosphere hit him, giving a sense of stepping into Hogwarts Academy.

What he saw were groups of youths wearing black Magic Robes, wielding basic Magic Short Wands, practicing various spells and sorcery.

And the stumbling Flying Broomsticks flying erratically a few meters high.

Clearly, with the fledgling magical power of these youngsters, they couldn't fly higher or longer.

To fly freely in the sky without any restraints, one must break the Life Shackle and reach Level One Life Tier.

"Prince."

While Fulade was watching these energetic Wizard Apprentices from afar, a soft voice came from not far away.

Turning his head, it was Alide'anna and Famic and others.

However, Fulade didn't greet them first; instead he tightly embraced Mina, who ran toward him.

After a passionate embrace and kiss, Fulade finally greeted Alide'anna and the others at the academy, then, with the group's support, began inspecting the academy.

"How have you been lately, my Mina?" Fulade half‑hugged the slightly shy Mina, asking about recent circumstances.

In response, Mina just smiled at Fulade without speaking, but from her eyes it was clear she liked the environment.

"I know it's been a long time since I visited you; later I'll properly keep you company, how about that?" Fulade said, biting Mina's ear.

He looked at the fleeting melancholy glance in Mina's eyes.

Fulade didn't realize that even gentle Mina harbored some resentment for his long absence.

Regarding this, Fulade was also helpless; after all, there were too many tasks to handle and he simply couldn't find the time.

Seeing that Fulade had finished whispering with Mina, Alide'anna then began to brief Fulade on the current state of the wizard academy.

"Currently the academy has 134 wizard apprentices; the reason the academy's numbers cannot be increased is twofold.

1. Children with qualified wizard credentials are almost one in ten thousand, or even rarer.

2. The base population limits the academy's enrollment numbers."

Facing the issue Alide'anna raised, Fulade nodded; it truly was a very realistic situation.

The entire Wallachia population is only a few million, and such a base indeed restricts the development of the wizard academy.

Looking at Alide'anna, who showed no hint of anxiety.

Fulade's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "It seems Dean Alide'anna already has a solution."

"Indeed, the Prince can't be fooled," Alide'anna first praised, then said to Fulade, "There are currently two solutions: 1. Expand enrollment, recruiting from neighboring countries and regions.

2. Lower the wizard apprentice assessment standards."

"Lower the standards?" Fulade looked at Alide'anna with puzzlement.

Through Alide'anna and others' explanation, Fulade realized that the high qualification requirement for wizard apprentices stemmed from the sheer breadth and complexity of what wizards must study and master.

In other words, it's too comprehensive.

Without a good talent, most apprentices would, even by death, only reach the Junior Wizard stage.

Indeed, the vast majority would get stuck at the Entry Level.

If the wizard profession were subdivided, breaking it into single-direction development—e. g., those with strong fire affinity could focus on the fire path.

Then the required qualifications would not need to be so high, and growth speed would increase considerably.

"In that case, how many more apprentices could be added?" Fulade mused.

"It would raise enrollment by three to five times," Alide'anna said, then added:

"After senior academy deliberation, wizards pursuing a single direction will no longer be called Wizards, but Magicians!"

"At that time, we will report the detailed plan to you."

"Hmm, if so, the required teaching staff will also be considerable," Fulade asked Alide'anna.

"Indeed there is considerable pressure, but fortunately Famic has solved this problem."

At that moment, Famic said, "Prince, the Wizard Promotion Development Committee has recently recruited many witches; many of them wish to join the academy as Magic Mentors."

Seeing the intense gaze that Famic cast toward him, Fulade expressed admiration for her achievements.

Seeing Famic smiling and reporting recent Wizard Conference developments to him, Fulade suddenly asked:

"By the way, how are you probing the Magic Resource in the Centaur's Thus line: mijing senlin?"

As soon as the words fell, several people exchanged delighted glances and led Fulade toward the academy's Magic Laboratory.

With a hint of doubt, when he stepped into the laboratory equipped with a large number of Magic Instruments,

Alide'anna quickly activated the laboratory's Magic Shielding Array, then happily reported to Fulade.

"Prince, the Magic Resource there is practically a treasure trove; many Magic Materials long lost in ancient texts can almost all be found there."

Speaking, she produced a transparent gem etched with a Magic Rune; under Fulade's puzzled gaze, a faint light flashed and a multitude of items suddenly appeared on the floor.

Fulade's eyes widened abruptly, exclaiming in shock, "These are Space Items!"

"Prince, you also know about Space Items," Alide'anna said, puzzled.

She then nodded naturally and said, "Indeed, they are long‑lost magic gems of spatial property."

"Gems like these, though not abundant in current discoveries, are enough to produce hundreds of Space Rings."
