Su Xuan’s nonchalant tone made Mira Orri so angry her tail shot straight up like an antenna.
Her original plan was to tell Su Xuan he only needed to splash his Life Essence onto her Dragon Scales. She could then absorb his Life Magic Power through the electric current her skin naturally released.
But before she could even get the words out, Su Xuan had charged right in and plunged straight ahead!
And afterward, he even acted so unconcerned about it!
‘I’m really going to—get mad!’
‘What an outrageous human male!’
But after thinking it over carefully, Mira Orri decided to forgive Su Xuan.
After all, if she hadn’t said such ambiguous things beforehand, Su Xuan wouldn’t have misunderstood.
Besides, she was, in a way, the beneficiary of this incident.
‘The intestinal tract’s absorption of Life Magic Power is definitely far superior to the skin’s…’
Hmph~!
Mira Orri composed herself and said to Su Xuan, “Don’t you dare do that again. I am, after all, a Giant Dragon who has lived for ten thousand years. If anyone else found out about this, how could I ever show my face?”
“Didn’t you say it? This is a Sealed World; it won’t affect reality.” Su Xuan shrugged and retorted, “As long as you don’t tell and I don’t tell, who’s going to know?”
“You!”
Just as Mira Orri was about to speak, she suddenly felt a tremor, as if a hundred thousand volts had shot through her heart, accompanied by a deafening sound.
“What was that sound?”
Su Xuan had naturally heard the sound of Mira Orri’s heartbeat and asked curiously.
“Umm~”
Mira Orri paused for a moment before saying, “It seems… it wasn’t quite enough…”
“What wasn’t enough?”
Su Xuan heard this and asked with a smile.
‘Of course, he knew what Mira Orri was trying to say, but some things just had to be spelled out clearly by the other person!’
“You brat! You’re so wicked!”
Mira Orri gently poked Su Xuan’s chest with the tip of her tail, chiding him playfully.
‘Who would have thought she’d one day have to bow her head to a mere human!’
“Does it have to be this way?” Mira Orri asked, looking troubled. She was still trying to reason with Su Xuan.
“I hope so.”
Su Xuan’s deadpan attitude made Mira Orri sigh helplessly.
After a moment’s hesitation, she slowly opened her mouth. “The Life Magic Power… still isn’t enough~ May I please have some more?”
Mira Orri’s sincere attitude successfully won Su Xuan’s favor.
A smirk played on his lips. He reached out and gave her dragon haunch a light squeeze, as if a master rewarding a pet, and said, “As you wish! Now, kneel.”
「An hour passed in the blink of an eye.」
Exhausted, Su Xuan sat on the ground, raising a hand to wipe the sweat from his brow. His own life force was nearly depleted.
After catching his breath, he slowly looked up at Mira Orri, who was directly in front of him.
A brilliant golden radiance suffused her entire body, making her blue Dragon Scales shine brightly.
Of course, this wasn’t a waste.
The reason for this phenomenon was, naturally… she was overflowing!
The Life Magic Power was already spilling out, so it had no choice but to seep into her Dragon Scales, forcing her less-absorbent skin to take over for her intestinal lining.
Over time, this led to her current appearance.
Of course, Su Xuan had kept his promise, so he hadn’t touched her Life Shackles.
This allowed Mira Orri to keep her most important possession… probably?
“You… you fiend…”
Mira Orri panted softly, her legs trembling slightly as she tried to relieve the discomfort in her body.
‘Who would have thought Su Xuan would be so… vigorous!’
‘Her Life Law had clearly been awakened long ago, yet Su Xuan continued to frantically output into her, seeming to enjoy every moment of it…’
“Was it a success?”
Su Xuan climbed up from the ground and asked with feigned innocence.
The concern in his voice made Mira Orri find it hard to scold him.
After a long hesitation, she said faintly, “Thanks to you, my Life Law has been completely activated. It’s even stronger than it was in my prime.”
“Really?”
Su Xuan asked in surprise upon hearing her words.
“I’m lying.”
Mira Orri replied perfunctorily, and then her entire body began to glow with a faint, fluorescent blue light.
The blue fluorescence flickered around her Dragon Scales, absorbing the Holy Light that had saturated them.
In just a moment, she returned to her normal state, with only a few wisps of golden light remaining on the ground.
“Mmm~ I really do feel much better~”
Mira Orri exclaimed in amazement. After reactivating her Life Law, the itchiness she’d been feeling vanished in an instant.
“Since I helped you solve your problem, does that mean…”
Su Xuan rubbed his hands together, eagerly waiting for Mira Orri to teach him Space Magic.
“Oh~ You mean Space Magic?”
Mira Orri suddenly burst out laughing, as if she had been waiting for this very moment.
“Uh… yeah.”
Her flippant tone gave Su Xuan a bad feeling. He felt like Mira Orri was planning to repay his kindness with malice!
“Well, since you want to learn~”
Mira Orri’s voice continued, a broad smile on her face, “I suppose I can teach you, but it all depends on how long it takes you to learn.”
“What do you mean?”
Su Xuan’s brow furrowed, and he feigned a look of hesitation.
“After all, what you want to learn is Space Magic.” Mira Orri began to explain in a prideful tone. “You have to understand, Space Magic and Time Magic are higher-tier forms of Magic. Their learning difficulty is several times greater than Elemental Magic, Undead Magic, and so on!”
“Even for me, learning the simplest Time Magic took several months. Do you understand what that means?”
“Hmm…”
Su Xuan nodded. After a moment’s hesitation, he retorted, “Is it possible that you’re just not that talented?”
“You’re saying I’m… not talented?”
After hearing Su Xuan’s question, Mira Orri was momentarily stunned, then she let out a deafening laugh.
“HAHAHA! You’re a humorous one, child. I am a Life Giant Dragon, a being who has stood at the pinnacle since birth.”
“And you have the nerve to say I’m not talented?”
“For a moment, I can’t tell if you’re actually joking or just trying to goad me. How utterly ridiculous~”
“…”
Su Xuan remained silent, merely showing a meaningful smile.
The smile seemed to acknowledge the Life Giant Dragon’s talent, but it made Mira Orri extremely uncomfortable!
“Indeed, humans are despicable creatures.”
Mira Orri sighed helplessly. Then, the very tip of her tail gently touched the spot between Su Xuan’s eyebrows.
A flash of blue light flickered between Su Xuan’s brows. Mira Orri then continued, “I have implanted a Space Magic spell into your memory. Try it for yourself, and you’ll understand just how difficult it is to learn Space Magic.”
“Oh, I’ll give it a try then.”
Su Xuan nodded and then searched his memory for the Space Magic Mira Orri had given him.
[Space Teleportation (Super Tier): A spell that allows for instantaneous movement within a 100-meter range.]
“It’s a Super-tier Magic spell?”
Su Xuan was rather surprised to see that Space Teleportation was a Super-tier Magic.
After all, from Mira Orri’s description, he had gathered that this was merely one of the simplest forms of Space Magic.
‘Since it’s Super-tier Magic…’
Su Xuan muttered to himself, then began to gather the Space Law within his body.
As the highest tier of spatial energy beneath the Gods, the Space Law could naturally activate Space Magic with ease.
However, because the user’s proficiency was still low, a period of training was required.
And just as Su Xuan was activating the Space Law and chanting the spell,
Mira Orri was secretly observing his every move, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
‘Hehe~ It took even me a month to learn this Space Magic spell,’ Mira Orri thought with a snicker. ‘With a human’s top-tier talent, it would take at least half a year. Child, your journey of learning has only just begu…’
Before she could finish her quiet muttering, Su Xuan’s figure suddenly vanished without a trace.
“Huh?”
Mira Orri froze. When her Perception located Su Xuan again, she discovered he had already appeared over a hundred meters away.
The sight left her instantly dumbfounded, her dragon tail shooting straight up like an antenna!
“Y-Y-You… you’ve already learned it?”
