My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 265, Section 264: Returning to the World of Freyren, Celia Anticipates the Night.

Soon after, in the world of Frilian, fine snowflakes continued to fall, seemingly without end.

In the afternoon, in the study.

A slight ripple spread through the space, and Gu Yuan's figure quietly appeared.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

Celia, who was instructing Frilian on how to control her magic, suddenly stopped waving her folding fan.

"Smack."

She sensed a powerful magical force that had nearly doubled in size since she left this morning!

"A level of four thousand years"

A flicker of disbelief and trepidation crossed the depths of her golden eyes.

This kind of acceleration is no longer running, but rather performing a spatial leap that ignores the rules.

At this rate, surpassing her will probably only take a month!

This calculation caused a huge uproar in her heart.

She subconsciously got up and walked towards the study door, her thoughts in turmoil: What exactly had happened to him?

"Squeak!"

The door was opened from the inside first, and Gu Yuan came out.

Celia was engrossed in her terrifying calculations and, unable to stop in time, bumped right into him.

""

A scorching heat instantly enveloped her, as if she were embracing a miniature sun in the snow, dispelling even the surrounding chill.

Celia looked up in surprise and met Gu Yuan's gaze.

This—she suddenly realized.

It was not just a surge in the total amount of magic power, but also a transformation in the level of life, carrying a kind of inhuman pressure that made people's hearts tremble!

She immediately remembered the "evolution" he had mentioned before he left!

"You—" Celia steadied herself, her red lips parted slightly, wanting to ask further.

"We can talk about it tonight," Gu Yuan interrupted her, releasing his embrace.

His thoughts had clearly drifted far away. The danger in the other world was not truly over.

In order to deal with other visitors, or rather, enemies, who might come because of Milim in the future.

He absolutely could not allow any uncontrollable changes to occur in his base of operations.

"Where are you going—"

Celia immediately changed her mind, her tone resolute, "—No, I'll go wherever you go! This time—I absolutely cannot let you disappear so easily again!"

She forced herself to remain calm, but her slightly clenched fingertips betrayed the turmoil within her.

Gu Yuan looked at her and pondered for a moment.

Take her with me—so be it. The situation in the Southern Continent is complicated. Perhaps this is an opportunity to master the "Curse Return" magic.

If successful, they will have an extra decisive trump card in the face of the world's curse.

"--what ever."

With that in mind, he calmly agreed.

Celia breathed a sigh of relief, but was also overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions because he had agreed so readily.

Gu Yuan did not leave immediately, but instead turned to the bedroom first.

The room was warm and quiet. Millie Aldebaran, exhausted from studying precognitive magic all night, was fast asleep. Her long silver hair was spread out on the pillow, and her face was serene.

He tiptoed to the bedside, leaned down and left a gentle kiss, tucked the blanket back in that she had accidentally kicked off, and then quietly left the room.

thump.

Just after the door closed softly, Miliealde slowly opened her eyes on the bed.

She savored the lingering warmth on her forehead, staring blankly at the doorway.

Then, as if feeling a little embarrassed, she gently pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face, revealing a complex emotion in her eyes.

The aura emanating from him was becoming increasingly unfamiliar and powerful.

Is this a blessing or a curse?

Outside the manor gate, the snow was even deeper, almost ankle-deep.

Selene was already dressed, her thick silver fox fur-trimmed coat and knee-high boots covering her completely, making her face appear even more refined and aloof.

She crunched through the snow beneath her feet, gazing at the leaden sky with a furrowed brow.

"This weather—it's so cold." She exhaled a puff of white breath and turned to Gu Yuan, who was approaching. "How are we going to get to the Southern Continent? Will we still ride dragons?"

Gu Yuan walked to her side, his light seemingly piercing through layers of clouds and landing in the distant south: "It's alright, I have a faster way."

"Faster?"

Celia was puzzled. Aside from dragons, she couldn't imagine anything else capable of such a rapid journey over such a long distance.

Flying magic? Since it was in its infancy, the amount of magic power it consumed was enormous, and even she herself could hardly withstand it for long.

Gu Yuan looked around and, after confirming that no one was around, gestured for her to come to him.

"Come up." He made a hugging gesture.

Celia's breath hitched, and a look of surprise and hesitation flashed across her face.

But after only a moment's hesitation, his intense curiosity about the unknown power and the "faster method" he spoke of completely overwhelmed him.

She did as she was told, her arms stiffly encircling his neck, her body temperature rising and her cheeks burning.

"Hold on, whatever you see, don't be too surprised."

Gu Yuan whispered a word of advice, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive ear, "This is one of my newly acquired abilities."

The instant the words were spoken, a deafening "BOOM!"

A pair of enormous, jet-black dragon wings suddenly unfurled from behind Gu Yuan as if tearing through the void!

The violent airflow generated when the dragon's wings spread out instantly cleared a circular clean area from the surrounding snow, with snowflakes flying wildly in all directions!

"!!"

Celia's fingers, which were tightly gripping Gu Yuan's shoulders, suddenly tightened, almost digging into his clothes. A brief blankness filled her mind.

—What—what is this?! Dragon wings?! Dragon wings have grown on a human body?!

Gu Yuan could feel her body stiffen instantly, and he understood:

Indeed, for an elf, seeing such pure dragon characteristics on a human was a visual and cognitive shock that was too great.

He flapped his wings.

"!"

A sonic boom resounded over the manor!

The two figures transformed into a blurry afterimage, disappearing into the thick, gloomy clouds at a terrifying speed that exceeded physiological limits!

Celia then came to her senses.

She felt the howling wind rushing past her ears and the rapidly shrinking mountains and land below, and her heart was filled with overwhelming shock.

This speed is enough to decide the outcome of a battle in an instant!

"He's practically the embodiment of conquest and war," she couldn't help but remark.

Immediately, in a complex tone that mixed with shock, realization, and understanding, she murmured softly, "You—so you really aren't going to be human after all?"

The voice was very soft, as if the person was dreaming.

Then, she pressed her cheek closer to Gu Yuan's neck, her tone clear and frank: "However—I don't dislike it."

Immediately, an even more fervent thought arose uncontrollably:

Since these dragon wings are a manifestation of some kind of magic or ability, is it possible for me to master them through research?

The thought made her heart race, and her blood felt slightly warm.

She unconsciously tightened her arms around Gu Yuan's neck, her gaze turned south, but her thoughts drifted to the approaching night.

A ripple of nervousness and anticipation quietly rose in my heart.
