She rarely wore a silver-white short dress, revealing her delicate collarbone and round shoulders. Under the hem of the skirt were a pair of slender black silk legs, and between the edge of the stockings and the hem of the skirt, her snow-white absolute area was exposed.
"Don't you like it?" she asked seriously.
Licinius stared at her legs carefully for a few seconds, shook his head, and then nodded.
I mean, it’s not that I don’t like it.
And he expressed high appreciation for her black stockings.
"Let's just sleep like this tonight," Noren said calmly.
"you sure?"
Li Xini's eyes widened, and he became a little excited.
Before this, in order to avoid giving him a hard time, Noren wore bunny pajamas when he slept, wrapped himself very tightly, and then curled up on the edge of the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt.
It’s not mainly because of lack of favorability, but because she is too shy.
Without a natural process or sufficient atmosphere, it will be difficult to promote it.
Of course, there is a solution to this problem.
If Licinius was willing to take care of it and give her a proper wedding.
Then there is no doubt that Noren will obey.
But the two of them have not yet reached the legal age for marriage in the Brentanian Empire.
Must be 19 years of age or older.
"Um… "
Noren walked up to him, took a deep breath for a second, and then hugged his head.
Pressed on his chest.
Licinius: "..."
You may not believe it, but he actually felt a touch of softness!
It seemed that without anyone noticing, this girl had grown up a lot.
Suddenly, he heard the girl's gentle voice in his ear.
“Thank you for your hard work over the years.”
Noren hugged him, bit his lower lip, and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't have family or parents. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Just like when we were little, even if you drove me away, I would always follow you. Life or death."
Li Xini was slightly startled, and the memories of the past came flooding back like a tide.
That was many years ago.
Under her training, Noren showed amazing magical talent.
Naturally, she was noticed by a strong man from the Warlock Organization, who was willing to teach her personally.
Licinius was thirteen years old at the time and had been oppressed by his family to the point of suffocation. He finally got such an opportunity and spent a lot of energy to investigate the background of the sorcerer.
Finally, it was confirmed that the fifth-level warlock was recognized as a man of noble character and uprightness.
And she is a single woman who lost her husband and children.
He runs several orphanages under his name.
If Noren follows this kind of person, his future will be much better than if he stays with him.
After Licinius made up his mind, he left her a letter and disappeared into the underworld.
I had thought that I would meet her again after she grew up and had the ability to protect herself.
But who could have imagined that this girl was so stubborn. No matter who tried to persuade her, she wouldn't say a word. She stood at the door of the underworld for seven days and seven nights, without eating or drinking.
She was thirteen years old at that time, and she didn't cry easily like she did when she was a child.
She will express her dissatisfaction in her own way.
Licinius was also a hard-hearted man, and he just kept on fighting with her.
Until one day when it rained heavily, Li Xini was so heartbroken that he finally appeared in front of her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and swore in his heart that they would never be separated again in this life.
Noren wanted to hit him at that time, but in the end he couldn't bear to do it.
"Why do you want to bring up that time?"
Li Xini felt the girl's warmth and softness, breathed in her unique cool fragrance, and smiled silently: "Isn't it good now? No one can bully us."
Norn hummed softly: "Master, you don't have to suffer any grievances for me anymore."
Licinius curled his lips.
There is no such thing as being wronged or not.
If it was him who picked up the girl and brought her home to raise her.
But when she grew up and showed her magical talent, she had too many opportunities to fly away. No matter which path she chose, she is now at least a fifth-level melee warrior.
But she still chose to stay with him and never leave him.
"You don't have to be so careful when you sleep in the future. It doesn't matter if you bump into anything. If you want to hug me, just hug me. If you want to touch my legs, you can do so anytime, but no one else can be around."
Noren tried to remain calm and said softly, "This is a reward."
"Can I have a sip now?"
Li Xini was a little surprised that the wife he had raised since childhood was finally collecting some interest.
Noren replied in a soft voice, "Yes, sure."
Li Xini suddenly understood. It turned out that she had learned today that she was actually an orphan and was born into this world as a clone. She was afraid that he would feel lonely.
That's why I have to use this slightly clumsy way to comfort him.
That’s really thoughtful.
Norn touched his wet hair, and there was a rare tenderness in his beautiful green eyes.
And a hint of hidden pride.
"Hmph, can Fran do this?"
She thought to herself, "Irena could have done it, but it's a pity that she didn't have the chance."
However, at this moment, there was an untimely knock on the door.
Dimon said in a very unpleasant tone: "Boss, here is a letter from Trinity Seminary. It is addressed to Mr. Valerius Licinius and Miss Nolen Frostian."
Licinius was stunned. "A letter from Holy Trinity Seminary? What's it for? Open it and take a look."
Dimon hesitated for a moment: "Please wait, let me take a look. Uh... it seems to be an admission invitation letter. Wait! Admission invitation letter? Oh my god, boss, I was really recommended!"
Li Xini's eyes widened: "What the hell? This is..."
Chapter 143: Double Standards? (Two in One)
An opened letter slid in through the gap in the door.
Dimon coughed dryly and said in a flattering tone: "Although I don't know what's going on, the letter has been delivered, so I won't disturb you two to rest."
After that, there was no more sound from outside the door.
Noren's cold eyes softened a little, thinking you're sensible.
She stood up and picked up the letter. She took a closer look and frowned, "Master, this is really the admission letter. It is written by the dean himself, and it has his own seal."
Li Xini was startled, took it and took a look.
"To Mr. Valerius Licinius, and Miss Noren Frostien."
"I believe this is our first contact. As you can see, I am Albert Hodel, the president of Trinity Theological Seminary.
I heard some rumors about you a few years ago. I was deeply moved by your story of sticking together and never leaving each other. I heard that Mr. Licinius was a rare genius in alchemy and the inventor of the Titan Cannon. This is incredible. "
"Your talent astounds me. Missing out on a genius like you is a huge loss for the academy. To make up for this regret, the door of the Alchemy Department of Holy Trinity Seminary will always be open to you."
"Let me see your talents. If you are no longer suitable to be a student, then I will consider promoting you to professor. Well, this can also be considered as a recommendation?"
"Also, Ms. Nolen. As the dean, I don't remember ever receiving your application for withdrawal, so you have been absent from class for nearly eleven months.
To be honest, it's a bit too much. You set the highest absenteeism record in Trinity Seminary in 500 years, and you don't take me, the dean, seriously at all."
"Remember to come to class tomorrow. You should make up your credits."
"Bring your young master with you, and I may consider reducing your punishment."
The letter was signed Albert Hodel.
After reading the letter, Licinius fell silent: "What does this mean?"
Norn also blinked her beautiful eyes, unable to understand.
In the past, being admitted to Trinity Theological Seminary was something she had always dreamed of.
But because her young master was expelled from the capital, she dropped out of school without hesitation.
She thought she would never have any connection with this college in her life, but now she was told that she had been absent from classes for eleven months and was asked to go back to make up the credits.
“Is there a conspiracy?”
She tilted her head and asked blankly, "The students captured from the academy are still in the secret prison. Sera is dead, and now we are being notified to go to school?"
Licinius thought for a moment and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but I don't think it's likely."
Because the person who wrote the letter was the dean.
Albert Hodel, the current president of Trinity Theological Seminary, was once a warlock who aspired to become a demigod. However, due to unknown reasons, his soul and body were severely damaged.
Now I'm just an ordinary person.
For an ordinary person to be able to secure the position of dean, in addition to past reputation and profound knowledge, you also need to have a noble enough character that can convince everyone.
Even His Majesty was once one of the students of this old dean.
No matter how powerful the Sword Saint Phyllis is, she cannot control the dean.
Otherwise, the president of Trinity Theological Seminary should have been replaced long ago.
But even so, with the presence of this old dean, bullying incidents still occurred in the college.
Irena's incident was enough to prove that most of the systems within the academy were under the control of the Sword Master.
And some of the people who participated in the treason were also mixed in the college.
"It's really puzzling." Licinius sighed.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed outside the window.
A pitch-black crow flew to the window in the storm and pecked at the glass hard.
"Is it a familiar?"
Noren could tell the origin of this thing at a glance.
Li Xini was slightly startled. The nearby blocks were all under the control and surveillance of the Bureau of Control. Since this familiar could fly over, it proved that it was sent by one of their own.
He walked over and opened the window.
The crow shook off its wet feathers and spoke in human language: "Tomorrow, go to school peacefully."
This is the voice of the Director.
Li Xini was stunned: "Are you serious?"
Crow said unhappily, "What else? This is the first time a madman like you has appeared in the Bureau for decades. What you did tonight has spread throughout the royal aristocratic circle, and the underground world has also been alarmed. Do you know how many people you have offended at once this evening?"
"Although the Administration does things that offend people, they are usually within the tolerance range of ordinary people. But now you have overturned the table, and they have no way to survive."
It paused. "There are too many people who would like to kill you at this moment."
Li Xini said indifferently: "Come on then, isn't this the reason why you and the teacher pushed me out? Most people can't bear this kind of pressure, only I can."
Anyway, as long as you keep your promise and protect my little wife, that will be all.
Crow was silent for a second. "That's true, but we have to take some precautions. Did you know that there's already a bounty on your head in the black market of the underground world?"
Li Xini was stunned: "How much is the reward?"
