Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 7 She just wants to be your friend

Tai'an walked to the full-length mirror in the wardrobe and looked at himself in the mirror.

He has an adorable black-haired boyish appearance, rosy cheeks, dimples, and light downy hair. His beard, a symbol of puberty, hasn't grown in yet, and his baby fat shows no signs of fading.

She's already thirteen! That shouldn't be happening!

Tai'an cupped his chubby face in his hands. He believed this was because the Blue Rose family possessed longevity bloodlines; their extended lifespans resulted in delayed development.

Physical appearance is merely an outward appearance and is of little importance to cultivators, Tai'an reminded himself.

A few wisps of smoke rose from the chimney of the cottage.

The butler, wearing an apron, busied himself preparing dinner in the kitchen, humming an unknown lullaby. The red bamboo rice, rich in nutrients and fragrant, was a top-quality grain, especially favored by the panda people.

Tai'an is extremely demanding when it comes to food, insisting on perfect taste. The clumsy panda, under his tutelage in his spare time, has already reached chef-level skills.

"Young master, how would you like to eat the earthworm leg meat?"

"Put it in a pot and stew it, add plenty of dragon peppers."

"Yes, ma'am."

Earthworm leg meat was a top-grade ingredient, averaging no less than five silver dollars per kilogram, making it difficult for even minor nobles to afford as a staple food. Therefore, it was essential to prepare it to maximize its nutritional value. Grilling, however, would alter the original nutritional components of the meat, potentially even transforming them into carcinogens.

Normally, Tai'an places great emphasis on cultivating healthy eating habits. Of course, indulging in a feast occasionally is fine and there's no need to worry too much about it.

The boy wandered around the yard, hands behind his back, thinking about planting some flowers and plants in the small yard.

Besides spiritual practice, we should also enjoy more fun in our daily lives.

A pair of hands pushed open the window of the small house next door, and a resentful face peered out.

The silver-haired loli looked down at the boy, her face flushed with anger.

Like a fierce yet adorable kitten, it wants to pounce and scratch people.

The boy didn't even glance at the silver-haired girl, continuing to walk around as if no one else was there, only changing direction.

Fleeing hastily would only reveal one's cowardice and make it seem like one is afraid of her; the best approach is to ignore her.

"Hey! You cheapskate!"

"Eating delicious food secretly by yourself, aren't you ashamed...?"

Yinyue called for a long time, but Tai'an pretended not to hear her. Just when he thought she would give up, she started calling again.

"Don't you even understand the most basic social etiquette?"

"Are you still a nobleman...?"

"But I'm a girl!"

"Ugh, you brat," the young man said coldly as he returned to his room, feeling there was no need to argue.

There was a moment of silence around me.

Tai'an took a shower and felt refreshed.

The Tier 0 Magic Dust-Free Garment can prevent external dust and mud from getting on your body, but you will still inevitably sweat.

Since the onset of winter, he has been bathing about once a week. During his journey from his territory to the Violet Capital, he hadn't bathed for more than half a month.

Zhengtai stepped out of the house again, intending to go to the kitchen to check on the housekeeper's progress. Suddenly, he looked up and saw a lonely, sorrowful face.

The silver-haired girl's eyes were red-rimmed as she muttered to herself, "Why, why doesn't any of you like me..."

Playing the victim won't work on me; my heart is as hard as stone.

Beautiful women are always a source of danger, especially in a world where the rule of law is weak, and they can easily arouse inexplicable evil thoughts.

Tai'an has no interest in dealing with the endless troubles.

"Young master, the little girl is so pitiful. She just wants to be your friend." Mussofi has a soft heart and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Unfortunately, I'm not at the age where I need to make friends with girls yet. Just dealing with Taeya is enough to annoy me." Taean picked up the iron spoon, blew on it, and tasted the broth. "Hmm, add some more salt."

Silver Moon's resentment continued to deepen.

Initiating conversations yielded no results, and even using one's best tricks was useless.

She lay on the spread-out bedding, frantically pounding the pillow.

"Damn it! That awful boy!"

When you think about how you're adored in your own country, how have you ever been ignored?

"You don't think I'm going to give up, do you?"

"Setbacks will only fuel my determination!"

The silver-haired loli regained her confidence and raised her delicate little fist.

"As expected of Miss!" A soft sigh echoed through the clear air.

Mussophie lifted the lid of the steamer, and steam spread out in an overwhelming manner.

The bamboo rice is cooked!

The panda's rumbling stomach could hardly bear it any longer, so he hurriedly served himself a bowl.

Bamboo rice and bamboo shoots are the housekeeper's favorite foods, and he occasionally eats some fruits and other kinds of vegetables. As for meat, he only eats cuckoo eggs and fish. Drinking some dairy products helps him maintain his health.

Tai'an was very tolerant and never minded Musophile's astonishing appetite. A panda's daily food consumption was equivalent to that of five adult men, and he ate the precious bamboo rice without any restraint.

After finishing three bowls of rice, Mussophie patted her stomach happily. She knew she couldn't eat too much at once, or it would affect her work efficiency.

Tai'an sat quietly across the table, flipping through the Kingdom Weekly he had bought from a roadside stall that morning.

The situation in the Violet Kingdom has been relatively stable recently. While the orc tribes along the northern border have shown signs of activity, the threat is limited to raids on border villages. Further development of the Southern Monster Forest is planned, and the kingdom is preparing to provide subsidies to participating adventure teams. A magic stone mine has been discovered in Duke Golden Laurel's territory…

The news was fragmented, with no reports of anything negative about the lower classes or the kingdom.

Everything seemed peaceful and serene...

A while ago, it snowed for a long time, and Tai'an could only picture frozen corpses lying on the roadside.

Not just one, but many, many…

Feudal systems and backward civilizations inevitably lead to mass freezing deaths. For the lower classes, the bigger problem is hunger.

"I'm not involved in any revolution, why am I thinking about these things!" Tai'an rubbed his forehead, pulling his wandering thoughts back.

The afterglow of dusk filled the sky.

The wind rustled through the trees.

On the cobblestone path, the black-haired mature woman led the red-haired girl forward with great strides.

Greenfield was injured in the duel, and Tyja, on behalf of her family, went to visit him and also to inform him that Tyan had just arrived at the school.

I'm planning to arrange a time for the two of them to meet tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Greenfield suggested going to see Taian. His reason was that since he needed to recuperate anyway, he might as well go for a walk.

"Seriously, she's so direct. Shouldn't girls be a little more reserved?" Taiya thought to herself.

My brother's fiancée is definitely a unique individual. Her stubborn personality and decisive style often mean she's assertive.

"Poor little An..." The black-haired older sister sighed for her younger brother's future marriage.

Before they knew it, the two arrived at the gates of the Wizarding Academy, and the dozing Three-Eyed Raven opened its eyes.

"You two young ladies, stop right there!"
