Chapter 128: Gemini·Mystical City
The next morning, the little fox demon arrived at Chen Lings house right on time and saw Min Jiangyun looking half-dead.
Did you get struck by lightning again last night? she asked.
Min Jiangyun: He didnt even have the strength to whimper.
Seeing his condition, the little fox demon couldnt help but shake her head with emotion, Sigh, what a disaster.
Ding~ Target Min Jiangyun, abnormal emotions, 1 million points
If he hadnt called to stop Chen Ling when he was leaving that day, maybe none of this would have happened. It really is a disaster
Sui Sui, wake up!
Wuu~ Sui Lier groggily opened her eyes and noticed that Chen Ling was still asleep, so she quickly closed her mouth. Her face blushed, and her heart pounded as she murmured to herself, Did wesleep together again last night?
Ding~ 1 billion points
As usual, not wanting to get up
But the little fox demons voice kept calling from outside, so Sui Lier reluctantly got up. Before leaving, she looked back and felt happy. She whispered softly, Good morning, hubby~ Then she blushed and quickly ran out.
Chen Ling also opened his eyes and smiled, Good morning, wife.
He got up and walked slowly into the living room just as Sui Lier finished eating. She wanted to take the remaining buns to call Chen Ling to get up.
Youre awake~ Hehe, come eat the buns!
But Chen Ling didnt eat any and let Sui Lier finish them all.
Today was the third assessment, the Wind Element assessment, and there are only two assessments left before she can successfully enter the academy. The Wind Element assessment took place in the main city of Gemini: GeminiMystical City.
GeminiMystical City was located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters in a highland region.
People living there had a unique exotic charm. As the main city of Gemini, Mystical City had a distinctive feature. The most prominent characteristic was that the city was made up of several color tones. All the buildings were constructed using special enchanted materials.
During the daytime when sunlight was present: The materials used in the eastern half of the city appeared black.
On the other hand, the western half appeared white. The two colors were distinct, just like the unique physical features of the Gemini constellations heterochromia, making it incredibly cool.
If it encounters cloudy and rainy weather, the eastern half of the city will gradually turn different shades of gray depending on the intensity of the rain. Meanwhile, the western half of the city will turn different shades of blue based on the rains intensity. For strong wind days, typhoon days, snowy days, and all kinds of weather, each has its corresponding colors.
However, there is one situation in which both halves of the city will display the same color: when an alarm is triggered, the entire city will turn into a dangerous red, immediately alerting everyone to the impending danger.
In the evening, the city becomes even more magnificent.
GeminiMystical City is a city that never sleeps. At night, all the buildings start to emit their own light in various dazzling colors. If you stand in the sky and overlook the entire city, you will notice that the whole city pulsates in a fascinating rhythm.
Just like the rhythm of music, when the wind blows, the citys lights gradually transition from dark to bright, then from bright to dark in a wave-like pattern. Its a mesmerizing melody from the wind. It is a city that captivates people with just one glance and makes them reluctant to leave.
This is GeminiMystical City, and at the same time, it is also the city of fashion.
However, its really freaking cold here, even with sunlight, the average temperature is around 10C.
Yet, the people in this city seem to be fearless of the cold. They prioritize style over warmth. Dressed in flashy and flamboyant outfits, even with strong winds blowing, they still expose their ankles. Some even wear super short shorts with black stockings.
Undoubtedly, it is indeed a top-tier city with excellent resistance to cold. Although it looks quite chilly, the urban mages in the city are no slouch, considering its a top-tier city. The cold weather doesnt have much impact on them.
Similarly, it doesnt have much impact on Sui Lier either, as she was helped by Chen Ling with temperature control.
Wow, its so beautiful!
Today is a sunny day, and the assessment location is in the western half of the city. The western half is now covered in white, but the ground remains black. However, with the white buildings surrounding it, it looks even more charming. Theres a mysterious sacred atmosphere.
On the other side, the eastern half of the city can be seen from a distance, appearing all black, also evoking a sense of reverence.
Some buildings are situated at the border between the east and west halves, showing one half in black and the other in white. The citys designers, most likely having OCD, strictly adhere to the requirement of maintaining a clear distinction between the two colors, completely separated by a single line.
As they walked, Sui Lier suddenly remembered something and laughed: When I came here before, it was March, and it was so cold!
I almost froze to death! You almost wouldnt have seen me!
But luckily, I survived, and now I can see you. Hehe. After saying that, she looked happily at Chen Ling. Compared to the many unpleasant memories in her past, the happiness she has now is incomparable.
Chen Lings heart ached upon hearing her words, and he gently touched her little head.
He had seen Sui Liers memories. About four years ago, when she was 14 years old, she came to this city using public transportation. At that time, it was the coldest period of the year in this city. The first night was tens of degrees below zero.
When Sui Lier arrived, she immediately felt that something was off. How could it be so cold? She was only wearing a single layer of clothing; she would definitely freeze to death. At that time, she actually wanted to turn around and leave with another aircraft. But she was also hopeful. What if there were people who could recognize her in this city?
Or, what if there was the Minghua Forbidden Zone that Chen Ling had mentioned? If Chen Ling was here, and she left, she might never encounter him again in her lifetime. So, in the end, she chose to stay, unwilling to give up any chance.
This city was obviously created specifically for high-level mages. Even in the dead of winter, the shops sell short-sleeved clothing, and she couldnt even steal anything. Only childrens clothing stores would sell warm clothes. Although Sui Lier happened to fit into childrens clothing, it couldnt protect her from the nighttime temperatures.
Other kids had their parents to keep them warm. But she could only rely on her golf ball-sized [Small Fireball Spell] for warmth.
At night, she would seek refuge in other peoples buildings for warmth. During the slightly warmer daytime, she would come out to search and repeatedly call out the same sentence. As a result, she stayed in this city for quite some time.
In the end, of course, she didnt find anything. When she left, her skin was cracked and chapped from being exposed to the cold and dry winds for a long time. Later, she went to some warmer places, and her skin slowly healed, but it inevitably left some scars.
But now, Chen Ling has smoothed out all of them. The current Sui Lier, other than a few freckles, has no blemishes anywhere. Her skin is fair with a rosy tint, smooth and delicate, looking soft and tender.
Seeing the happy Sui Lier beside him, who looked like a child, Chen Ling couldnt help but hold her hand tightly. How could he bear to let her experience the pain she had in the past?
Feeling the strength in his hand, Sui Lier smiled and looked up at him: Whats wrong?
Chen Ling shook his head and softly asked, Are you cold?
Hehe~ Not cold, because youre here!
Chen Ling nodded and smiled, If you feel cold, just tell me, and Ill hug you.
Sui Lier hesitated for a moment, subconsciously stopping in her tracks and looking up to shout, Im cold!
Ah Suddenly realizing that she had just said she wasnt cold, her face turned red instantly. Embarrassed, she whispered, Um Just a little bit
Ding~ Sui Lier feels shy, +1 million points~
Chen Ling suppressed a smile and asked, You need a hug for just a little bit?
Um~ Blushing, Sui Lier tilted her small head upward, suddenly bit her lip lightly, gathered her courage, and with a slightly open mouth, she said, Need~!
