Chapter 560: The Clumsy Fairy

She was invited as a guest.

Michelle was somewhat confusedly invited to the next door and had a dinner that was not prepared in advance.

She had never come into contact with Yun Chuyou privately before, this was the first time.

She didn’t know much about Yun Chuyou, the Ming Country’s immortal family, being an extraordinary genius, was gone.

She had many achievements, but very little personal information.

It is said that the majority of the Ming Country’s immortal family follow the rules and have more requirements for living in the mortal world. They rarely interfere in human affairs, so they have no friends, only focused on cultivation.

In the past, Michelle thought Yun Chuyou must be a high-level cultivator who could travel freely in the sky with her sword, flying with the wind.

But the reality is… she eats junk food and enjoys it. Many of them are greasy and high in calories, like calorie bombs. She eats cakes and ice cream even in winter. She eats them very quickly, a few bites at a time.

Michelle thought that the five happy meal boxes she bought would be too much for one person to finish, but Yun Chuyou ate four and a half of them alone.

Yun Chuyou wiped the corners of her mouth and said calmly, "I don’t usually eat these… but today I indulged a little. Please pretend you didn’t see it."

After saying that, she put an eighteen-inch cake on the table, cut a piece, and finally started to savor it.

Michelle looked around and saw that the room was very clean. There was no sign of a messy girl. It was obvious that she was a very organized and disciplined person. Fortunately, she hadn’t completely ruined her image. However, this greedy fairy made it impossible for her to connect with the swordsman who poured his heart into his sword in the arena.

It was true. No matter who it was, from a distance or up close, it was like two different people.

Michelle asked, "May I ask why you invited me?"

"Nothing," Yun Chuyou said. "I was just being polite and then you showed up."

"Polite?"

"Yes, polite."

Michelle stood up and said, "I’m leaving."

"Wait a moment," Yun Chuyou cut a piece of cake. "Take this with you. You’re so thin, you should eat more."

Michelle took the cake and sat back down. "I’ll eat it before I leave… and I’m not thin either." She straightened her chest, with a fire pouch pressing against the table, revealing a pair of undulating twin peaks.

Yun Chuyou casually murmured and continued to taste the cake, then she asked, "Why are you learning the language of the Ming Country?"

"Interested."

"If you’re interested, you won’t fall asleep."

"How do you know…" Michelle shook her head, "I just want to learn, there’s no special reason."

"If you want to study abroad in the Ming Country, it’s necessary to learn, but with your skills, there’s no need to go." Yun Chuyou said lightly, "The East and the West have different systems, so there’s no need for honing."

"Why did you come to Europa and go to the Blue Iris University? With your abilities, it’s easy to get into the Haoyue Academy," Michelle asked again.

"Studying abroad in the allied country was just a coincidence, a spontaneous decision to travel far. I chose the Blue Iris University because it was the only one that offered a six-month exchange program, while others required at least a year."

"Is that all?"

"The competition pressure at Haoyue Academy is also high. I have confidence in myself. As long as I defeat them in three battles under the Holy Domain, and I don’t like to go easy in the arena, especially being a top-notch university in the allied country, how about you… do you want to see a person from the Ming Country dominating the arena without defeat?" Yun Chuyou said lightly, "Even at the Blue Iris University, I feel the pressure."

"No wonder you deliberately let me win back then," Michelle realized.

"What, you’re not happy even after winning?"

"No, I’m quite happy," Michelle said. "I’m not that old-fashioned, winning is definitely better than losing… But if you go to Haoyue Academy, the pressure will be much greater than before. After all, this is not the Ming Country."

"I’m not afraid of external pressure either. Immortal cultivation is already like walking on thin ice. Compared to the stagnation and difficulties in cultivation, these pressures are nothing more than a drizzle," Yun Chuyou quietly finished half of the cake, her voice icy cold. "The main reason is, I don’t plan to stay in Europa for long. I’ll be going back to the Ming Country in three days."

"Then you won’t make it to the national university tournament."

"I’m not interested in it to begin with."

"You’re not interested in testing your own strength?"

"It’s not that my own strength doesn’t interest me, it’s that the test of strength here isn’t really enough. Europa’s system of magic is quite sound, but it’s also quite weak because progressing too fast and too easily. Compared to the difficulties in martial arts cultivation, the advancement of warlocks can be described as leaps and bounds in a single day. Moreover, most are research scholars, which is a characteristic of their system. This leads to a lack of compatibility between practical fighters and theoretical researchers. Without studying, one cannot advance; without advancing, one cannot study," Yun Chuyou judged. "Although it’s a stable progression, the weaknesses of mages are just too obvious at the same level."

"I don’t think so," Michelle countered.

Yun Chuyou said gently, "You’re not a wizard, you can’t even cast a level five spell."

Michelle was stumped by what she said, her words made perfect sense, leaving the village girl speechless.

Michelle said, "I envy your confidence and elegance, I’m so modest that I probably won’t learn it in this lifetime."

Yun Chuyou said, "For you to be able to say that, you have at least 80% of my power."

"I am a good girl, I won’t argue with you, and are all the fairies in the Ming Country just like you?"

Michelle searched for an adjective and said in the language of the Ming Country, "Awkward."

Half-cooked means awkward.

Yun Chuyou looked up and said, "You seem to dislike me?"

"No," Michelle denied, "There doesn’t seem to be any."

The fairy gave her a faint smile and said, "I’m starting to appreciate you. Not many people have the courage to speak ill of others in front of me. Rather than hiding and provoking behind my back, I think that person is more worthy of admiration. You will go far in the university league, and if you win the championship, why not come to the Ming Country’s White Jade Capital in the future? I will gladly challenge you again."

She took a bite of the cake and said, "As for now, I’m not in the mood for a fight. The gray tide has receded, and I’m feeling good. I don’t want to waste the energy I just gained."

Michelle frowned and said, "You’re very arrogant."

"Fairy families are all arrogant. If we’re not, there would be no way forward."

"Are you used to being disliked by others?"

Yun Chuyou calmly replied, "Teasing and joking are the best compliments for geniuses. When one person is one step ahead of another, they will be chased. When they are ten steps ahead, they will be envied. What about a hundred steps or a thousand steps ahead? At that time, former rivals will become enthusiastic admirers. They will expect you to go even further and may even boast to others, saying ‘I once competed against her in the past.’"

"Do you consider all disdain and dislike as future compliments?"

"I’m more inclined to see it as a test of my own inner strength," Yun Chuyou said with a sudden ethereal tone. "When we live in the world, there isn’t a single day when we’re not lonely. Other people’s laughter, anger, and insults actually have nothing to do with us."

"You don’t plan on getting married or starting a family?"

"For fairies, these things are not necessary," Yun Chuyou said. "Being a spouse and raising children is not an obligation, let alone a responsibility."

"How did your mommy and daddy give birth to you?"

"… " Yun Chuyou was unusually silent for a moment.

She quickly regained her composure and said, "Sooner or later, I will surpass my parents and they also hope that I can surpass them through words and actions."

"Indeed, you and I are not the same kind of people," Michelle said.

"I am not on the same path as many people in the world, and you are just one of them. We are like strangers to each other."

"Why are we now eating cake at the same table?"

"It’s fate," Yun Chuyou said. "But only limited to this."

Michelle said, "Our connection is indeed limited to just that much, but I don’t believe that there are no other people in this world that you care about."

"Yes," the fairy calmly said, "but she is not like others. I care about her, just like I care about myself, without any difference."

Michelle sensed a strong determination from this sentence, and her gaze fell upon a group photo on the table, "Is it her?"

In the photo, two identical little girls were wearing matching white dresses. They were around seven or eight years old, and their expressions were slightly different. The girl on the left was reserved and silent, clutching her dress, while the girl on the right was joyful and agile, hugging a gray tabby cat and rubbing against it.

"Is the one on the left you?" Michelle asked.

"No, the one on the right."

"The right one?" Michelle froze, because they were twins and she could see hints of how they would look when they grew up from the girls’ eyebrows. But were they really the same person?

"It’s something common for a child to be outgoing in their early years and become more withdrawn later," Yun Chuyou casually explained.

After looking at it for a while, Michelle said, "I think you’re still lying to me, or rather, you deliberately left out some details."

"What are you referring to?"

"The reason why you came to study in Europa is not just a whim. Choosing the Blue Iris University also has a clear purpose."

Michelle confidently explained, "The Eastern mysterious system emphasizes mystery and neglects system. To obtain mystery, one must analyze it. To do this, I need to find more systematic and theoretical knowledge, which can quickly increase certain aspects of my knowledge. Relying on personal comprehension and realization will take much longer. Moreover, these things are considered semi-taboos in the Eastern mysterious system. That’s why you can only come to Europa and specifically choose the Blue Iris University instead of the Haoyue Academy. This place has top-notch majors."

Yun Chuyou set down the cake and waited for her to continue.

Michelle stated her conclusion, "The Soul Department and the Soul Studies School, that’s your goal for studying abroad, right? To enter the Holy Domain, you must be proficient in both the Soul Department and the Space Department. I’m curious, how far have you advanced in your knowledge of the Soul Department theory in the past six months?"

Yun Chuyou took a deep look at the village girl. Even if she revealed some small secrets, it didn’t matter. She would soon leave here and they wouldn’t meet again, so she just went along with it.

The fairy calmly replied, "To a sufficient degree."
