“My lord, i feel an incredible surge of power coursing through me, increasing by over tenfold! It’s hard to believe that I’ve rapidly reached the peak form of the Siren Clan, almost like a dream,” she exclaimed, gazing at her hands in astonishment.

“This is not a dream, this is reality,” Ji Chen gently grasped her delicate hands, his expression serious. “This is what you deserve. 1 won’t mistreat anyone by my side, especially you.”

Upon hearing this, Alice’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Promoted to the Red-Legacy Tier hero, Alice’s appearance had also undergone some changes.

Her skin, originally fair, had become even whiter, like ivory, with a delicate and charming glow.

Her figure was more immaculate, the carefully modified maid uniform outlining her curves perfectly. The slightly conservative style only enhanced her astonishing charm.

But the most significant change was in Alice’s demeanor. If she used to resemble an imperial princess—noble, elegant, and intellectual—now she seemed like an untouchable fairy: sacred, refined, and ascetic.

Even though she wore a maid’s outfit, it gave off the sensation of top-tier attire.

This made Ji Chen sigh.

Truly, good looks were a force to be reckoned with; everything looked good on her.

And with her sacred aura and the shy blush on her face, the two combined to create a strong chemical reaction.

It felt as if a goddess had descended to the mortal realm but had been tainted by a mortal, causing embarrassment.

This struck Ji Chen right in his sweet spot. His heart itched, and his gaze grew even hotter.

He really wanted to defile her…

Feeling Ji Chen’s intense gaze, Alice became even shyer, burying her head in his chest, unable to lift it.

Amid her surprised cry, Ji Chen’s mischievous smile spread as he princess-carried her and headed towards the room.

By the time Ji Chen stepped out of the lord’s castle, the sun had climbed high, marking noon. Enjoying a relaxed lunch, attended to by diligent maids, he later led a few squads of guards to a pond and waterfall situated approximately two to three kilometers away from the Crown of the Ocean.

“Maintain a perimeter guard and make sure nobody interrupts me.”

Upon receiving his orders, the guards dispersed, forming a protective circle around the waterfall, extending a hundred meters away. They swiftly cleared the area of any creatures within that range and maintained a watchful eye on the surroundings.

Ji Chen stepped on the water’s surface and reached a stone platform beneath the waterfall, where he sat down cross-legged.

He took out two skill scrolls from his backpack—Skill Scroll: Mana Reflux (Red-tier skill) and Skill Scroll: Triple Casting (Orange-tier skill).

With other matters settled, it was time to start learning these two formidable skills.

He put away the Triple Casting scroll for now and then gently held the Mana Reflux scroll, focusing his mind on it.

The scroll instantly burst open, transforming into a golden light that flowed into his body.

In an instant, a wealth of knowledge and energy flooded in, almost filling his entire mind.

Ji Chen closed his eyes tightly and began to wholeheartedly learn and comprehend.

Two hours later.

“Ding- You have comprehended the techniques and usage of the Red-tier skill: Mana Reflux.”

A shockwave radiated from his body, blowing outwards and creating ripples in the surroundings.

Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes, a glint of insight shining within.

Checking his personal panel, he noticed the addition of “Mana Reflux” under the skill section.

The skill’s level was only red-tier, and for Ji Chen, who was already at the Orange-Legendary Tier, the difficulty of learning it wasn’t significant. He quickly grasped its essence.

The real deal was up next. He took out the Skill Scroll: Triple Casting.

After a short rest, he activated it and began to comprehend.

However, this time it wasn’t as easy as before.

A sea of knowledge and energy surged into his mind frenziedly, almost causing him to burst.

Triple Casting was one of the top-tier skills, even among orange-tier skills. It wasn’t flashy, allowing the caster to use three powerful skills in succession. Simple and direct, the effects were outstanding.

Four or five hours later.

Ji Chen’s still form suddenly shook violently. A surge of mana erupted from him, creating a torrential mana storm. His clothes unexpectedly burst, shattering into hundreds of pieces.

A shockwave spread out, causing the surrounding water to explode, splashing high into the air. The waterfall above him also scattered in all directions, only continuing to flow down after a long while.

“Ding- You have comprehended the techniques and usage of the Orange-tier skill: Triple Casting.”

“Phew-”

Ji Chen opened his eyes, reining in his mana, and let out a heavy breath.

Standing up from the stone platform, he stretched lazily, making a crackling sound.

Feeling his greatly enhanced mana reserves, he wore a satisfied smile.

He almost wanted to burst into laughter.

To comprehend an orange-tier skill in just a few hours, what did they call that? A genius!?

Suddenly, he felt a chill. He looked down and realized his clothes had torn apart at some point, leaving only a few tatters hanging from his shoulders.

A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the leaves with its passage.

Ji Chen’s face reddened, and he cleared his throat. He took out a set of clothes from his backpack and put them on.

“Whoa, you got dressed so quickly?”

An unexpected voice came, startling him. He almost didn’t catch his breath.

He turned his head and saw Elin sitting on a tree branch beside the pond. She had her legs crossed and wore a disappointed and regretful expression.

Ji Chen’s expression turned dark. Did this old lady, who was at least several thousand years old, peek at him from the very beginning?

She waited until he finished dressing before speaking, yet she still had that regretful look. Was she some kind of pervert!?

Hearing the commotion, the guards at the perimeter hurried over. When they saw the elven woman sitting on the tree branch and Ji Chen’s dark expression, they became anxious.

“My lord, we failed in our duty. Please punish us!”

Ji Chen sighed and waved his hand. “If you were able to detect her presence, 1 would’ve held you in higher regard.”

Clearly, with Elin’s strength, it was practically impossible for the guards on the perimeter to detect her, let alone stop her.

“You all wait for me outside.”

“Yes!”

Only Ji Chen and Elin remained on the scene.

Elin agilely leaped down from the tree, landing steadily on the ground, and approached him.

“I just sensed the fluctuations of mana here, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. I definitely didn’t intentionally spy on you!”

Elin was casual in her speech, even though she said that, the cunning glint in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.

1 did peek, but 1 won’t admit it!

Observing this, Ji Chen’s brows furrowed as he candidly remarked, “An elven powerhouse with millennia of experience, engaging in the act of a peeping tom… One can’t help but ponder how your fellow elves would perceive such behavior.”

“Oh! Yeah, that’s true…” Elin first seemed a bit troubled as she touched her hair, but soon she straightened up and laughed mischievously with her hands on her hips. “There aren’t many elves from my time who are still alive, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Oh no, I didn’t peek at you! Don’t falsely accuse a good elf!”

Observing Elin’s smug expression, Ji Chen’s anger started to rise.

Had he not been aware of the undeniable fact that he couldn’t possibly defeat this elf who had lived for several thousand years, he might have contemplated the idea of playfully hoisting her up and giving her a playful swat.

He mentally cursed her for a moment and then suppressed his anger, saying, “It’s better if you didn’t…”

Sensing Ji Chen’s growing anger, Elin cleared her throat twice and somewhat embarrassedly said, “Don’t blame me, it’s just that your physique is too good. 1 couldn’t resist taking a look. You have to understand the strong desire of an elven woman who’s been locked in a cage for thousands of years without seeing any humanoid males.”

“Is Thotmudo a man!?”

“Is a dwarf even considered a human?”

H ii

Ji Chen was left speechless, he could only adjust his clothes again and watch Elin warily.

Being a man, he needed to ensure his well-being while out and about, making sure not to let a mischievous female elf cause any trouble..
