An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

"I'm not..." Lucia blushed. Even though she usually had a bad temper, she didn't like being mistaken for someone who ate too much.

"It's alright, why are you being so reserved in front of me? Besides, I know you dragon descendants have big appetites, so I made you a little extra noodles," Ya Feng said.

At home, Zeshita usually eats the most. Her Majesty the Queen is not as reserved as the little red dragon; she can eat however she wants.

Lucia didn't speak, but just kept her head down and ate her noodles silently. Under the warm yellow light of the small kitchen, eating the hot noodles seemed to warm her heart as well.

Ya Feng sat to the side, eating with her, chatting from time to time about life or class matters, and occasionally about studies, always in an encouraging or guiding tone.

"It's clear this time that magical zoology is your strength, as you've scored quite a few points in it. In your major subjects, your technique studies have also improved. It seems that our tutoring during this period has paid off."

“Of course, I’ve been working very hard to digest the knowledge you’ve taught me,” Lucia said with a snort.

"Yes, yes, class monitor, you've worked hard. You must often stay up late to study, right?" Ya Feng said.

Lucia glanced at him, then lowered her head: "It's not that I don't want to let you down... that's why I'm working so hard..."

She raised her head again, her eyes resolute:

"But don't think I'm complacent because of this. This is just the beginning. I'm going to push even further forward. Whether it's the advanced mage assessment or the Light Chasing Cup competition, I'm going to get the best results! I'll prove to my parents that I'm strong and that they'll regret ignoring me!"

Looking at her, Ya Feng smiled slightly, raised his head, and patted her head.

“I’m so proud of you, Lucia.”

Lucia widened her eyes slightly, looked at Ya Feng, opened her mouth, and involuntarily uttered:

"dad..."

Chapter 132 The Meeting of the Silver Dragon and Lucia

"dad..."

As soon as Lucia cried out, she realized how shameful she had done, and her pretty face immediately turned bright red.

"I, I'm not... that, I, I mean... teacher, you... I..."

Lucia's eyes darted around like mosquito coils, and she waved her hands incoherently, not even knowing what she was saying.

What kind of situation is this? Suddenly calling someone "Dad," especially Ya Feng, is really, really embarrassing!

"Uh, were you calling me just now? I thought... you wanted to talk about your dad." Ya Feng's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Long's adorable and confused appearance.

"I, I..."

Lucia calmed down a bit, lowered her head, and pursed her lips.

“If I call him that, he'll definitely get angry. In our family, we always use honorifics when addressing our elders. Words like 'Dad' are too casual for them. Even if they don't usually interfere with me, they'll still punish me if they find out I've been disrespectful... because that's the rule in our family…”

"Oh..."

Ya Feng looked at her: "So you were calling me just now."

"Well..."

Lucia then realized that she had just shut down the only reason she could use to defend herself, and her face flushed red again, her pointed ears turning adorably red.

"It's alright, Dad is fine. Anyway, once a teacher, always a father. I don't mind if you want to call me that," Ya Feng said with a faint smile.

"I, I wouldn't! Just now, I couldn't help myself... no, I must have lost my mind to shout like that! You better forget about it!" Lucia said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Don't worry, I will always remember it,"

"Well..."

She seemed to realize that no matter how she explained, it would seem strange, so she gave up and buried her head in her noodles, slurping them down.

"Here, my dear daughter, drink some water so you don't choke." Ya Feng poured her a glass of water.

Lucia's face was flushed red, and she buried her face in the bowl of noodles.

drop--

At this moment, Xiao Guang suddenly jumped out and transformed into human form.

"Master is called Lucia's daughter, so does that mean Hikari should call Lucia 'older sister'?" Hikari asked, tilting his head.

“Yes, yes, you can call me whatever you want,” Ya Feng patted her.

"I already said no..." Lucia muttered softly.

After quickly finishing his late-night snack, Ya Feng cleared away the dishes.

"Go and rest in the living room for a while. I'll go to the bathroom to run some hot water in a bit."

"Um,"

Lucia obediently returned to the living room sofa, and Xiao Guang went over to keep her company, watching her take out those art souvenirs and listening to Lucia tell her about the contents of these paintings.

A little while later, Ilsa came downstairs, wearing pajamas, ready to heat up a glass of milk, drink it, and go to sleep.

She didn't see Lucia in the living room, but went straight into the kitchen, where she saw Ya Feng tidying up.

"Ya Feng, you're back."

"Yeah, I was hungry, so I made some late-night snacks," Ya Feng said.

Ilsa didn't pay attention at first, but soon couldn't help but start nagging again:

"Honestly, how many times have I told you? Bowls and plates should be stacked according to size and type. If you stack them together like this, they're easy to break if you take them out. And the pots and ladles should be hung here, and that's where you hang the cutlery..."

"Cough cough,"

Ya Feng suddenly coughed twice.

"Hey, why are you coughing? Hmm?"

It wasn't until Ilsa followed the direction A-Feng was pointing that she saw Lucia, who seemed a little awkward in the living room.

"Oh...yes, we have guests."

Ilsa suddenly felt embarrassed, and only then did she remember to greet her:

"Hi, hello there, are you, are you Miss Lucia?"

"Yes, hello." Lucia nodded as well.

“I haven’t introduced you yet, Lucia. This is my adopted daughter, Linda. You can also call her Ilsa, which is her middle name, it’s more affectionate,” Ya Feng said.

He had considered this when explaining things to Hikaria earlier, so there was no need to hide Ilsa's name so completely.

"We have guests, so please give me some face," Ya Feng said, nudging Ilsa.

Ilsa glared at him, looking annoyed and fierce.

This guy, I told him not to mess around with other women... and he actually brought one home!

But she couldn't say anything in front of Lucia.

"Hello, Lucia... Dad often mentions you, saying you are a very outstanding student."

"Really..." Lucia seemed rather happy.

"Oh, well, sorry to bother you, but... there's a curfew at my house, so it's inconvenient for me to go home, that's why..." Lucia explained using the same excuse.

“Oh... It’s alright, I’m happy to have guests. I’ll go tidy up your room then,” Ilsa said.

Ilsa glared at Ya Feng again, then went upstairs to help Lucia tidy up her room.

"Xiao Guang, go help too!"

Xiao Guang went up with Ilsa.

Only Ya Feng and Lucia remained in the living room.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, but Ilsa manages most of the household affairs, so she's a bit strict," Ya Feng said.

"Oh."

Lucia nodded, but judging from their behavior just now, Ilsa seemed more like a mother...

...

In the bathroom, Lucia was soaking in hot water, her hair spreading out on the surface.

Although it can't compare to the large bathtub and bathroom in her home, the comfort brought by hot water is just as good.

Lucia tilted her head, feeling somewhat surreal. She had actually arrived at Ya Feng's house and was even taking a bath in his bathroom.

Although the tutoring and training had improved their relationship considerably, it felt a bit too fast for them to suddenly reach this point...

Living together...

She quickly shook her head.

It's just for one night, don't overthink it!

She sighed, and then couldn't help but recall when she had called him "Dad" earlier.

Lucia closed her eyes, covered her face with her hands, and slowly sank to the bottom of the water, leaving only a single ahoge sticking out.

It's so shameful, so embarrassing. I'm afraid even ten years from now, I'll still be so ashamed I'd want to dig a hole and crawl into it...

Just then, Ilsa's voice came from outside the door:

"Miss Lucia, I've left the pajamas and new underwear by the door. They're all mine, so the sizes might be a little small."

Lucia quickly floated to the surface of the water.

"No need, I brought my own pajamas!"

"Ugh?"

Ilsa's voice sounded somewhat surprised from the doorway.

Indeed, if you bring your pajamas and underwear with you from the start, it means you're probably planning to not go home, right?

Will she think that I have bad feelings for Ya Feng?

Lucia immediately tried to explain, but Ilsa quickly said, "Okay, then let me know if you need anything else."

"okay."

Lucia said hurriedly.

...

After showering, drying my hair, and changing into my pajamas, it was almost time for bed.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, get some rest," Ilsa said, bringing her a blanket and standing at the door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Linda."

Ilsa went back to her room.

Lucia sat alone in her room, staring at the ceiling, and suddenly felt a little lost about what to do.

...

After taking a shower and tidying up the bathroom, Ya Feng went upstairs. When he reached his door, he glanced at Lucia's door; the light coming through the crack in the door was already off.

He thought they should be asleep by now.

Just as I was about to return to my room, Lucia's door suddenly opened.

But only a very small gap was opened, and Xiaolong poked his head out, revealing his fair shoulders in a camisole nightgown.

"Um..." she looked at Ya Feng and said softly.

Goodnight, teacher.

After she finished speaking, she immediately closed the door and fell silent.

Ya Feng couldn't help but smile, already imagining how she had leaned against the door earlier, only opening it and saying goodnight when she heard him come upstairs.

What an adorable little dragon.

He returned to his room.

Exhausted from a long day, he quickly went back to bed and fell asleep, turning off the light.

Not long after, he was almost asleep when his door opened and a petite figure tiptoed to his bedside, pulled back the covers, and slipped inside.

"Ok?"

Ya Feng groggily opened his eyes and suddenly found that there was someone else in his bed.
