Chapter 177: A Push With Both Legs

"It’s not an illusion… the air really has become better," Lin Lin raised the Small Coal Ball to show Safir how it works.

"If the surrounding dark air is thick, it will suck the dark air in," Lin Lin explained.

The coal ball hadn’t heard praise for a while, and it proudly puffed up its chest to show it was very useful.

Safir didn’t deny it; Lin Lin thought that with the Dragon race’s excellent vision and sensitivity to magical waves, Safir might have noticed long ago; he just didn’t want the Small Coal Ball to feel too proud.

Safir’s gaze shifted from the coal ball to Lin Lin, who was holding it up.

Although Lin Lin did not speak, her eyes signaled the other to encourage the poor young one who had been hearing harsh words these past few days.

"Actually… it’s really quite good," Safir cleared his throat. The Dragon race, which had stayed away from sickness their whole lives, put their fist against their lips and pretended to cough. After finishing the act, they emphasized, "But don’t be too proud."

However, Small Coal Ball completely ignored Safir’s warning and happily jumped from Lin Lin’s arms to her head, causing Lin Lin to shake a little.

As the weather warmed, life began to stir again, and even in the desolate demon realm, creatures started to appear.

The Demon King Castle opened its doors.

According to Bulwo, even without officers in the Demon King Castle, there was a need for basic workers, and various creatures began to arrive one after another.

The Demon King Castle became lively.

The new employees referred to Lin Lin as "Your Majesty," which made her feel a bit awkward.

When it was just Safir and Bulwo in the Demon King Castle, no one would call her that.

In Lin Lin’s heart, she still felt that "Your Majesty" belonged to that little lamb Demon King, and she had just accidentally entered into some kind of coincidence.

As the Demon King Castle grew, Safir and Bulwo became busier, but Safir’s teaching did not fall behind. The thoughtful Sapphire Dragon always left a thick stack of homework before going out to enrich the lives of the two students.

Lin Lin suddenly understood how the little lamb’s majesty felt about Safir moving out, yet still being able to send books and homework every now and then.

I really want to burn all these books.

But Lin Lin was still a good student, serving as a role model for the coal balls, so she had to hold back.

Compared to learning existing spells, Lin Lin preferred to tinker with some of her own creations.

For example, a spell to make erasers not crumble, and a spell to make everyone waiting at the office door knock before entering.

"Knocking" as a suggestive spell is not easy for others to notice, and although this reduces its success rate, it is undoubtedly very suitable for avoiding Safir’s surprise inspections.

Even Safir himself felt that he had just suddenly become more polite.

The door was gently knocked.

"Come in," Lin Lin looked up and saw Miss Rabbit walk in.

Because Miss Rabbit was a rabbit Orc, she was much shorter than Lin Lin, and her fluffy pointed ears hung down like twin ponytails with a hint of pink at the tips.

How cute! In this Demon King Castle, where everyone looked quite villainous, seeing the fresh and lovely Miss Rabbit was truly comforting.

However, rabbits are quite easy to startle. When those red eyes met Lin Lin’s, she instinctively turned away to avoid the pressure of eye contact.

"Lord Safir has instructed me… to regularly serve fruit," Miss Rabbit entered with a tray that held two bowls of fruit salad, one for Lin Lin and one for Coal, fair and square.

"I’ll take care of it," Lin Lin reached for the tray and noticed that Miss Rabbit’s body was quite tense. "Did something happen?"

Her question made Miss Rabbit tremble.

"N-no," Miss Rabbit’s voice was soft as she lowered it, "I just feel a little uneasy."

"Hmm… Aren’t you always a bit uneasy?" Lin Lin really wanted to ask this, but it would seem rude.

"What happened to you?" Lin Lin asked casually.

The other person couldn’t answer, looking very confused, their ears drooping even more, "I just have a feeling of unease."

It was a strange conversation. Lin Lin gently patted Miss Rabbit’s head, comforting her, and told her that if she didn’t feel well, she should go rest, and she would take care of what Safir asked.

Lin Lin softly sent Miss Rabbit away. When she turned back to the office, she saw Coal Ball looking at her instead of continuing with the homework.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Lin asked.

Coal Ball, who had been sitting up straight to write, let his tail drop and started to shiver.

"Don’t copy others; it’s not polite!" Lin Lin emphasized.

Coal Ball stopped shaking, seeming to not understand why Lin Lin treated him differently. Just a moment ago, she had comforted Miss Rabbit while gently patting her head.

The small coal ball and Lin Lin stayed still for a few seconds, then the coal ball suddenly straightened up and fell onto the table. It looked like it was saying goodbye to the world with a final kick of its legs.

"You should be thankful Safir is not here, or he would definitely turn you into a fireball," Lin Lin commented.

Safir really dislikes when others make a fuss and act spoiled; he thinks it is an unbecoming and ridiculous show.

Although Lin Lin really wanted to comfort the Small Coal Ball, she didn’t want it to think that lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum or playing dead would get it what it wanted since it was still learning.

Lin Lin completely ignored the coal ball’s actions and started to focus on her homework.

The coal ball lay there for a while, realizing that Lin Lin treated it like it was invisible. However, since the coal ball didn’t understand hints, it thought it was just lying too far away for Lin Lin to see.

So, the Small Coal Ball rolled over, jumped up, and landed on Lin Lin’s table. It bounced onto her book and then lay down stiffly with its legs straight up.

Lin Lin: …

Lin Lin now realized that having a round body made it inconvenient for sleeping; for example, it didn’t look different whether it was standing or lying down, and even when lying down, its head was still in the air and couldn’t touch the ground.

Lin Lin easily picked up the coal and placed it on the edge of the table, then continued turning the pages.

The coal ball’s empty mind thought for a moment, completely not expecting this situation.

The door was knocked on again, less than half an hour after Miss Rabbit left.

Could it be that this time Safir’s dinner has arrived? Lin Lin thought to herself.

She certainly didn’t really think it was Safir’s arrangement, so Lin Lin opened the door.

The early spring wind rushed in as the door opened, colliding with the warm air inside.

Lin Lin’s long hair, falling on her shoulders, was gently blown by the wind.

Lin Lin was clearly taken aback; standing outside the door was a young man cloaked tightly, his hood covering half of his face.

For a moment, Lin Lin almost thought a dark elf appeared in front of her, but the deep gray hair reminded her that Felix was an elf from two hundred years later, around her age.

At the same time, Lin Lin remembered the name of the person in front of her, "Lorken."

Unlike the very deceptive, pale face she had seen the first time, the young Worgen looked a little darker, and the silver cross under his left eye was still very noticeable.

"Why are you here?" Although it should not be a problem, Lin Lin still nervously glanced around before pulling Lorken into the room and closing the door.

When Lin Lin held Lorken’s hand, he gripped hers back; the Worgen’s body temperature was much higher than a human’s.

The moment their hands touched, he let go.

Even the young man’s voice carried a barely noticeable tension, "I’m here to find you."

The coal sitting straight on the table rose up and peeked out.
