Chapter 266: This Time, I Really Became a Dad! Hooray!

Rin felt even more curious.

Meteor Empire Sword Saint Leona, famous at a young age, has been well-known for over twenty years. She should be older than the Queen, but not by too much—around the same age group.

However, one is far in the south and the other is far in the north, and there are no stories of Leona ever being here in the Mangekyou Continent.

As for this witch, from the bits and pieces of her conversations, one could guess that she is at least over a hundred years old.

It is quite strange that the three of them can still play together and seem to have a good relationship.

However, Angela did not want to continue this topic, and he did not want to ask anything more.

"So what are those things, really?"

Angela glanced at the sky and shook her head, "I don’t really know what those things are, I just know they come from the other side of the Black Sea."

Saying this, Angela pointed to the southeast and continued explaining, "This small island we are on is located on the boundary between the Black Sea and the Xingzhi Sea Area."

Rin rubbed his chin, "The book doesn’t give any detailed information about the Black Sea, I only know that the forbidden Edgeless Continent is very close behind it."

"Well, the barrier of the Edgeless Continent is black, which makes the sea appear black, that’s why it’s called the Black Sea, and the Cloud Sea Secret Realm is located on the outskirts of the Black Sea."

Rin said thoughtfully, "Maybe it comes from the Edgeless Continent."

"Then it’s unclear, maybe so."

After that, Angela explained what she knew about these monsters.

Unknown monsters were named Shadow Monsters by the witch.

These Shadow Monsters appear and move with dark particles that look like spores.

They always want to break out of the Black Sea and invade other seas, but for most of the time, they are trapped within this boundary.

They are kept trapped because several special fish from the Black Sea can absorb the dark particles.

The Land Fish that Rin saw is actually not a creature from the Xingzhi Sea Area but one that comes from the Black Sea.

However, because the Land Fish are good at finding teleportation stones and have the largest range of activity, they are known to humans as they are worshipped as messengers of the Sea God.

Speaking of worship, it is directly related to the Shadow Monsters.

There was once a time when Shadow Monsters appeared and caused great destruction on several islands in the South Reef. Luckily, these Land Fish followed the Shadow Monsters to the islands and eliminated them.

The humans at that time, to thank them, offered the locally abundant Tree Sunflowers, and the Land Fish found that this food provided them with rich nutrition and they loved it.

Then, it became a habit for the Land Fish King to go for a nice feast during the breeding season.

It can be considered a mutually beneficial relationship, which has turned into a ritual over several hundred years.

Of course, relying only on those creatures, there are occasionally some that slip through the cracks, and the Land Fish’s range only reaches the Xingzhi Islands, leaving the surrounding towns helpless.

In such cases, the Xingzhi Witch is responsible for clearing them out, and those towns have to pay her a protection fee.

The island where Rin is now, on the boundary line, is where those creatures exist like "watchtowers."

Whenever there is a magical energy fluctuation here, it will attract certain creatures; the greater the fluctuation, the more creatures will come.

"Under normal circumstances, those black particles will blow out from the Black Sea like a sandstorm, but in sudden situations like this, they will only last for an hour before disappearing."

After Angela spoke, she patted Rin’s shoulder, "Spending all your magical energy before meditating to recover is the most fundamental way to break through the limit of the Magic Ring.

However, here, once you run out of magical energy, you will directly receive some replenishment. With the conditions mentioned above, plus the high monster experience, you will soon be able to break through.

"Of course, the experience value is limited. If the level is higher, it can only train combat skills and won’t help much with leveling up."

Rin’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he clapped his hands, saying, "Great! Let’s fight again. Now that I understand the patterns, it’s perfect to practice my combat skills."

They had only received half of their magic power back. Angela thought he had prepared many high-level magic potions, so she didn’t pay much attention.

"Do what you like. I’m going to take a beauty nap. Call me when it’s time for dinner."

As soon as Angela entered the room, Rin hurriedly pulled the waste hero to a corner and kissed to restore magic.

Just kidding, high-level magic potions are so expensive, and their recovery time is so long. There’s no way they are as fast as just kissing.

As long as we kiss for a few minutes, won’t this half tube of magic power be full?

Since they found a rare high-experience dungeon, they had to make the most of it and keep doing it until the experience gain drops significantly.

Just like that, the two of them played all afternoon, and they only stopped when their mental strength was nearly exhausted.

After a simple dinner, the Xingzhi Witch said she was going to pay the membership fee, drank the Diving Agent, and sneaked away, leaving only Rin and the waste hero on the island for a while.

Both of them were very tired; the waste hero fell onto the bed and quickly fell asleep, while Rin also didn’t feel like studying late at night, so he washed up a little and went straight to bed.

By the way, since all three beds were single beds and very small, Rin did not squeeze in with the waste hero to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was because someone was pinching his nose, making it hard for him to breathe.

(This sentence appears to be gibberish and cannot be translated.)

Because he was startled awake, Rin did not fall into a dazed state; he was a little confused for a moment but quickly became alert.

Looking at the woman sitting next to him, who was still pinching his nose, Rin’s eyes widened in shock.

"Black fox…"

"Shh."

Sitting at the head of the bed was the Lord of the Demon King. She smiled brightly at Rin, made a gesture for silence, pointed to the waste hero sleeping on the other side, and then stood up to say something to Rin.

"Come with me, I need to talk to you. Don’t let that silly hero notice."

Rin thought for a moment; he also had something to ask the fox, so he didn’t wake the waste hero and quietly followed Suyu out of the room.

Carefully closing the door, Rin even took a special glance through the window and saw that Emilia was sleeping soundly, not even rolling off the bed, which made him feel relieved.

As they walked near the stream with Suyu, Rin suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh no, if you used a space teleport, it must have created a magical wave that will attract those guys."

Suyu chuckled lightly, "Those shadowy beings? While you were sleeping, I just tossed them into space and crushed them with a space rift."

"Huh?"

"Don’t worry, they can’t mimic space abilities. Leviathan mentioned such things to me before."

"No, what I mean is, can space really crush people?" Rin asked, looking puzzled.

"Hey? How about I try to use my magic device to send your head and limbs to different women and see if you survive?"

Rin felt a chill run down his back and quickly shook his head, saying, "No need for that, cough cough."

He still felt something was off, but thought it was not important and did not ask further. Instead, he stood there hesitating, his ears turning red, unable to speak for a while.

Seeing him like this, Suyu knew that the younger student was shy again.

She purposely put her arm around Rin’s shoulder and whispered into his ear, "Why aren’t you happy to see your senior sister? I came a long way to see you, and I’ve used up all my magic!"

"Huh?" Rin was startled and quickly asked, "Your magic can run out too? Did you get into a fight with someone? Are you okay? Were you hurt?"

As soon as he said that, he saw Suyu smiling brightly, so he quickly turned his head away and said, "Well, our deal isn’t done yet. If something happens to you, I would be at a big loss."

Suyu turned his head back to face her, looking at his eyes that were darting away but couldn’t hide his worry, and couldn’t help but lean in closer.

"In the end, you’re the one who drained my magic, so the younger student needs to take responsibility."

"What does that have to do with you and Grandpa!" Rin quickly denied.

Suyu kissed him on the corner of his lips, her voice charming, "Didn’t you want to ask about that night?"

Rin’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively said, "So… those things, were not a dream, it really was you…"

"It was me. I originally came to save you, but because you have a special condition, I unexpectedly broke through to level 90, and my magic got all messed up. So, shouldn’t you give me something in return?"

It really is her!

She is truly a fox!

She was so beautiful back then…

Ugh, that’s not right! What I mean is, this person does such things without even saying a word to him, just… taking advantage of a situation!

Rin was about to explode with anger. But then he thought, how is this taking advantage? She was clearly trying to save him, and now she looked so pitiful with her magic all drained.

How annoying, I can’t get angry.

He looked like a deflated pufferfish. As he stared at the face so close to him, he clenched his teeth and kissed her.

The two of them kissed for a long time, but in the end, Suyu pushed him away.

"So… how is it? Are you feeling better?"

Rin gasped a few times and eagerly asked.

Suyu shook her head, "Just a kiss might not be enough."

"So… what do you mean?"

"Just like last time, since the junior could help me break through, he should also be able to help me recover quickly, right?"

Saying this, the Lord of the Demon King looked at him with a smile, like a fox waiting for a little chick to come close.

Rin’s eyes trembled, and he became helpless.

Last time with the waste hero and the silly elk, he hadn’t fully recovered; he had just chosen not to think about it for a while, and now he had to take an exam with the fox.

It felt… really strange.

The Lord of the Demon King naturally could read minds, and when he heard that he had worked with the hero and the princess, his good mood was instantly ruined.

A sour, swelling feeling filled his heart, with a sharp pain like needles; he couldn’t tell if he felt more wronged or more angry.

The complicated, bitter taste quickly clouded Suyu’s mind; without thinking, she spread her wings and wrapped Rin up, placing him on the ground.

"Wait! I’m not ready yet."

"Huh? Ready for what? Ready to die? How dare you betray me! You must accept the punishment!"

Rin noticed that Suyu’s expression was not right; her purple eyes glimmered ominously, filled with fury, and her overwhelming presence made him feel suffocated.

From the bottom of his heart, without caring about any pride, Rin quickly said, "I, I am ready! Wait! I will do it myself!"

But Suyu didn’t listen to what he said and dragged him directly into the exam room, tearing open the test paper seal and reading the answers quickly while covering his mouth.

Unfortunately… in this situation, the magic device actually started to recharge, which was completely out of control.

…

The Lord of the Demon King had amazing combat skills in the exam, pulling Rin to retake the test again and again.

At first, Rin only answered the questions passively, but after getting used to it, he found his rhythm and turned the tables several times.

Although the exam started off tough and there were conflicts, in the end, everyone was very happy.

Suyu’s angry frustration faded away a lot with the joy of the exam and the replenishment of magic energy.

Of course, she did not forget to strengthen the life force within her body to prevent it from dispersing.

"What’s going on here?"

Rin looked blank, his hand on his forehead, staring at the gray sky with no moon, mumbling to himself.

He really had no energy left at all.

That damn Demon King had too much strength; even with all his talents and skills, they fought to a draw.

Of course, that’s one way to look at it.

He guessed that Suyu could recover and try a few more times, while he had no way to defend himself.

How frustrating! Is it fair to bully someone just because you’re at a higher level?

I will remember this grudge for losing the duel; one day, I will make her exhaust herself with the exam!

"No way, junior."

Suyu, as if she could hear his heart, placed her hand on his chin, rubbed her cheek against his, and softly said, "Don’t think about revenge. If you do, the one who gets hurt first will be your child."

Rin was taken aback and pushed her hand away, "What child?"

Suyu giggled and pointed to her belly.

"We got lucky on the first try. Should we say that we are truly meant for each other?"

"Wh… what!"

Rin felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind was a whirlwind, followed by immense joy.

This truly was the darkest hour before dawn!

I didn’t expect the Lord of the Demon King to be here…

Wait, calm down first.

With the lessons learned from the waste hero, Rin did not dare to jump to conclusions. Instead, he stood up, pressed his hand on Suyu’s shoulder, and asked seriously.

"Are you sure? Really, really sure?"

Suyu was taken aback for a moment, then she took his hand and placed it on her belly, guiding Rin’s magic with her own.

"Can you feel it? Its life force."

Rin looked very serious, focusing all his attention to sense it.

Unfortunately, his sensing ability was limited, and even with the Demon King’s guidance, he still could not sense anything.

Yet, there was a strange feeling of warmth, as if he and that thing were connected.

Clearly, he couldn’t discover anything, but he still had that faint feeling.

Looking at Suyu, her face shone with maternal warmth, an unprecedented gentle expression, and Rin completely believed her.

He trembled with excitement, releasing his emotions and allowing joy and excitement to flood his mind.

"You’re going to be a dad, are you happy?"

Rin did not answer but showed his happiness by hugging Suyu and rolling on the ground.

"Yay! I’m going to be a dad!"
