MILF Hunting in Underworld

Chapter 171: A Pleasant misunderstanding

In front of the stairs leading to the top floor, A redhead stood blankly, wearing the academy uniform and her expression was heavy and hesitant.

'Oh, Roulan, Get yourself together…'

'You are just going to meet your friend's father. Why are you hesitating?'

Jin Ruolan slapped her cheeks and tried to get her thoughts under control. Since she met Yang Chen, her friend's father, she always felt her heart throb uncontrollably.

The redhead can't understand why her heart races whenever she meets him. She dismissed the first time as a natural reaction to handsome men. The second and the third time made her realize there was something wrong with her.

'Do I have feelings towards my friend's father?'

As she thought of this, She felt her face turning red and hot. She can't think of any other reason why her heart beats after seeing Yang Chen.

After living as an orphan without anyone to guide her from a young age, The redhead was still young and immature.

She was able to survive this way because of her headstrong and hard-working nature.

More importantly, Jin Ruolan isn't aware of her dragon heart.

From the instructors, She learned that she had an affinity for fire magic, and for that reason, She was looked down on by other students despite being the first rank among the second-year students.

The reason for it was rather simple.

Fire magic or Fire energy is very scarce in the underworld. Everyone knows the future for people with fire affinity is limited.

After learning about this matter, Jin Ruolan was depressed as if she felt the chance to escape from her poor life slipping away.

That's when she met Fu Ting, who had no control over her berserker talent. She was surprised to see Fu Ting placing first among the students without utilizing her special prowess.

As a Berserker, Fu Ting's physical strength was truly unparalleled when compared to her peers.

After observing her for a while, She took inspiration from her combat style and whacked her mind for days and nights to discover a new combat style that would let her ability shine to its fullest.

Battle Mage.

That is the name of the combat style invented

by her. She compensated for the lack of fire energy by training her body to the extreme, learning various martial arts, and creating spells that needed minimal fire energy. That was how she conquered the students of her year and ranked first.

Knock! Knock!

Jin Ruolan finally reached the principal office after mustering her courage and knocked on the door. She planned to quickly get out of there after receiving the sports uniform from him. She was afraid of staying alone with him.

"Come in." Yang Chen's stern yet gentle voice came from the room, and as soon as she heard it, her heart was going crazy.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

'Damn it, Stupid heart!'

'Why are you doing this to me?

The courage she had, completely vanished after his voice only once. She became anxious when she thought about what would happen next.

"Student, Why are you still standing outside the room?" His impatient voice made her flustered, and she replied in a stuttering tone before opening the door and walking inside the room.

"It is nothing. Principal, I am coming in"

A few seconds later, Jin Ruolan found herself standing in front of the desk, his eyes observing her intently without saying a word.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

'Ah! Why is my heart beating so fast when I am just standing in front of him?'

'T-this… Do I really have feelings for him?'

'But How? I have only met him thrice!' Jin Ruolan was ashamed of herself as she couldn't accept this shameful side of her. Currently, She doesn't have the face to meet Chen Miya.

'Uhm, What's wrong with her?' Yang Chen, who had been observing her actions, asked internally while continuing to watch her actions.

With his heightened senses after awakening his talents, Yang Chen clearly heard her loud heartbeat, which showed no signs of slowing down.

From the reports he gathered about her, He knew Jin Roulan wasn't such an easy girl or a nympho who would fall for a stranger after seeing him a few times. Yang Chen didn't expect an orphan who had been living alone until now to fall for him immediately because he knew about the life of an orphan.

The evidence of it was the status panel floating in front of his eyes.

[Name: Jin Ruolan

Race: Ghost human

Cultivation: wraith adept first stage

Talent: Fire dragon's heart(A-rank)(degraded)

Aptitude: Advanced-grade (low)

Combat prowess: wraith adept, third stage

Favorability: 35]

Even if her favorability had increased by ten for some unknown reason. 35 points in favorability was nowhere near enough for her to react like this.

Yang Chen could tell something was going on, and he wasn't aware of it.

'FuFu~ Masterr~ Do you want to know?' Seeing him think so hard, Nyx asked with an amusing smile on her face.

To tell the truth, She already knew about the redhead's problem from the moment she laid her eyes upon her. She didn't interfere because she knew it would be better to let things continue on their course.

'So, You already know?'

Seeing the confidence in her words, Yang Chen realized that she knew about it all along.

'Yes, Master.'

'So, Why didn't you tell me before?'

Yang Chen asked in a calm tone without being at her for withholding information. Jokes aside, He had trust in his women that they wouldn't bring harm to him and other family members.

'Hehe, The increase in her favorability was the result of my actions'

'Sometimes, being silent can also be considered as a help' Nyx boasted with a proud look on her face.

'Okay, Tell me why is she acting like she is in heat right now?' Yang Chen was more than happy to praise her for an entire day, but the situation didn't allow him to do so.

With every second, Jin Roulan's heart was beating louder and louder. He was afraid that something would happen to her.

Seeing the worried look on his face, Nyx chuckled with her hand covering her mouth. She knew it wasn't the time to boast.

She laughed because she could imagine his expression turning into delight after hearing her explanation.

'Master, You do remember about the other elements that I told you about, right?'

'Of course, Aside from Yin and Yang, There are various types of energy, such as fire, water, wind, land, life, ice, thunder, and many others' Seeing her ask about the elements, Yang Chen replied with a bored heart.

The training he had with her naturally included theory, history, and various other concepts. He was almost bored to death after listening to her lessons.

'You also remember that all the elements are categorized under yin and yang energy, right?'

Nyx asked a question again, and He nodded his head in response.

'Then, You surely know the answer,' Nyx said and observed his expressions expectantly. She was willing to tell the answer if he couldn't figure it out, but she just wanted to know if he was listening to her lessons or staring at her buttocks.

'What do you mean by…?I know the answer?'

'Wait!' Just when he was about to question her, Yang Chen recalled the information about the elements under Yang energy.

Light, Thunder, fire, Solar, Lightning, and wood.

The energy, treasures, and elixir belonging to these elements are usually challenging to find in the environment of the underworld, which is dominated by yin energy and the elements associated with it.

In comparison with the associated elements, Yang energy is purer and the superior form of energy.

'So, She was reacting to my yang energy?'

'Does her dragon heart want to absorb my energy?'

'So, in her eyes, I should probably look like an exquisite elixir, right?' As he thought of this, Yang Chen felt chills behind his back and a drop of sweat flowed from his forehead.

He quickly checked her expression to confirm his guess, but seeing her avoid his gaze and the slight blush on her cheeks, He was puzzled for a moment before figuring out the reason.

"Is it possible… she didn't know about her dragon heart? And misunderstood her attraction to my energy as having feelings for me?"

Yang Chen wanted to laugh out loud after realizing that the prey he had been eyeing walked into his trap on its own.
