MCIF Chapter 23.2

Chapter 23.2 – The Scroll of Fusion Magic

Luo Rou spoke with meaning, “Of course. Even if I didn’t find anything, the Wise Girl is a person who abides to her promises. We had already talked about this together. Ling’er, I’m sorry, but this is a private matter I need to discuss with him alone.”

If this was requested to Xue Jing instead of Long Ling, maybe Xue Jing would have tried to ask and get to the bottom of the matter. However, this was Ling’er whose nature was sweet and gentle. Ling’er gently nodded and said, “Then, I’ll leave. Nian Bing, you should go to living quarters and clear things up. Oh! That’s right! Father originally wanted you move you to the Elder’s residence, but you just kept staying here the whole time so your rooms haven’t been switched yet. He said the switch would be made once you’re done researching in the library.”

Nian Bing smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter; those are simply superfluous matters. Miss Luo Rou, after you.”

Nian Bing led Luo Rou out. It had been a month since he came out of the library. Ling’er didn’t follow; she just left after she talked to them.

Although he didn’t return for a while, his dorm room was still fresh and cool. By reflex, he checked the magic seal he left behind and made sure that no one had trespassed and the thing he had hidden was still in its place. When he was satisfied that nothing had been touched, he invited Luo Rou in. “Please take a seat first. I’ll go clean and tidy myself.”

How did it feel to not take a bath or a shower for a full month? Nian Bing finally learned that making himself clean and presentable after one month of no showering took him at least two hours. He inwardly vowed to himself that he will not repeat this kind of shameful lifestyle in the future. He would lose face in front of all the beautiful women. Nobody would be happy to face  beautiful women in a state like this.

Nian Bing skillfully used his Morning Dew Knife to shave his beard and then changed into thick cotton clothes before he walked out of the bathroom.

Luo Rou, who waited for two hours, didn’t seem impatient at all. Upon she looked at Nian Bing, her eyes couldn’t help reveal a trace of astonishment. When compared to before, Nian Bing now wore normal cotton clothes and his body exuded a fragrant odor after taking a bath. With his long blonde hair neat and perfectly combed, he looked like a completely different person. Although Nian Bing didn’t practice martial arts, his slender body had broad shoulders, which was complemented with his handsome features. As the saying went, “Looks can kill”. Towards the confident and strong, Luo Rou’s heart couldn’t stop palpitating.

Nian Bing went and sat next to Luo Rou on the couch. He let out a sigh before talking, “So refreshing! Miss Luo Rou, what do you want to talk about? If you came here to concede, may I ask you for a favor?”

Although Luo Rou forgot her manners for a moment, she had recovered quickly. She faintly smiled and said, “That’s not it. I just came to collect the due rewards for my victory for our bet.”

Nian Bing leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked serenely at Luo Rou. He signaled her to continue as he said, “I would like to hear what our Wise Girl had been able unearth from her investigation.”

Luo Rou smiled with confidence as she stood up and walked to the center of room with her back facing Nian Bing. “Magic Reaper, shouldn’t these words be enough?”

Hearing the two words, Magic Reaper, Nian Bing almost jumped off the couch. His heart rate accelerated and, although, he already thought very highly of Luo Rou, he still didn’t expected that her investigations would lead her to this point. After a few seconds of silence, he forced his tone of voice to be as unperturbed as possible, “Can you tell me the reason?”
