Immersed inside the little tower, Bai Ling couldn’t feel the gazes from outside.
Her attention was completely drawn to the items at the top of the tower.
For some reason, she had a strong feeling that there was definitely something up there.
The moment Bai Ling was about to step onto the stairs, she could feel a pressure coming from the top of the tower.
But to her, it wasn’t much.
Here, she didn’t have to worry about exposing her abilities, so she just charged straight up.
The pressure from above shattered instantly in front of her.
Bai Ling smiled slightly and continued to walk up the stairs at a leisurely pace.
Along the way, Bai Ling wandered and looked around.
It was all books, and all of them were about healing magic—various applications and uses.
Bai Ling gained a lot from this, learning plenty of knowledge about healing magic, its applications, and all sorts of magic circles.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before she finally reached the top floor of the little tower.
But the scene before her was completely different from what she had expected.
The top floor of the tower was extremely bare.
There were no books, no tables, no chairs, nothing at all—just a raised platform, a circular one with steps.
Calling it a platform was a bit much; it was only about a meter high.
And in the center of the platform was a giant egg? But it couldn’t really be called an egg, because it was broken.
A quarter of it was missing, and inside the egg? There was a sleeping girl! She had a delicate little face, a small and exquisite nose, long eyelashes, skin as smooth as jade, and a completely flat chest that rose and fell gently with her breathing.
The most special thing about her was her ears—long and pointed, clearly an elf.
She was wearing a dark green princess dress, and her little feet were wrapped in dark green stockings, making her look tiny and cute.
She was lying there quietly, a perfect sleeping loli.
Just as Bai Ling was about to get closer for a better look, she saw the sleeping loli’s long eyelashes flutter slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, Bai Ling was stunned.
When her eyes were closed, Bai Ling couldn’t see anything, but now that they were open, what she saw wasn’t eyeballs, but a bright green magic circle.
Inside the magic circle, there were tiny points of light, like stars from another world, shining brilliantly.
It was so mesmerizing that anyone who looked would unconsciously want to submit.
Her eyes were like those of an emperor standing above the nine heavens, making it impossible to even think of resisting, as if she was a supreme ruler and you were just a commoner.
Bai Ling was also captivated by her eyes, unable to help but admire their beauty.
But Bai Ling didn’t feel any urge to submit—she was just simply drawn in by those eyes.
The little loli, slowly waking from her daze, also noticed Bai Ling’s presence.
She was a bit surprised at first—how did this person get up here? But she decided to check out the situation first.
“Huh~ How many years has it been? Someone’s awakened the healing magic element again.
I think the last one was a thousand years ago?” She said this like she was talking to herself, not really addressing Bai Ling at all.
Bai Ling didn’t say anything either, just kept staring at her, thinking how cute this little person was! Seeing that Bai Ling stayed silent for so long, the little loli started to feel something was off.
Out of pride, she didn’t want to turn her head toward Bai Ling, but the way she kept sneaking glances at Bai Ling with the corner of her eye totally gave her away.
It seemed like she wanted to see who could sit still the longest with Bai Ling? That was seriously underestimating Bai Ling.
If she wanted, Bai Ling could go a whole day without eating or drinking, just staring at one spot without even blinking.
If the little loli wanted to have a staring contest, she’d definitely picked the wrong opponent.
In the end, the little loli couldn’t take the atmosphere anymore.
Puffing out her cheeks in frustration, she said angrily, “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Hearing the little loli shout, Bai Ling finally snapped out of it, feeling a bit embarrassed.
After all, staring at a little loli like this did feel a bit guilty.
“Huh? What do you want me to say?” Bai Ling really didn’t know what to say.
Why did this little loli want her to say something? Was she supposed to say, wow, old monster? Or maybe old hag? After all, it had been a thousand years.
If she actually said that, who knows if the loli would die of anger! Bai Ling secretly snickered to herself, but she didn’t say it out loud.
She didn’t want to offend anyone like that.
As the saying goes, always leave some room for others, so you can meet again in the future.
If she really said it, that would be pushing someone to a dead end, with no way to turn back.
Besides, this was such a cute little loli.
Anyone would just want to get closer to her, not be stupid enough to offend her right away.
“You… I… Hmph, I’m not going to stoop to your level.” She turned her little face away and looked up at the sky, even though there was no sky.
Bai Ling still didn’t want to talk, just silently watched this tsundere little loli, thinking she was just too cute.
Not only was she cute, but her personality was adorable too.
Bai Ling had the urge to scoop her up and squeeze her tight.
The atmosphere dragged on for a long time, and in the end, the little loli couldn’t take it anymore and finally spoke up.
“I mean, why are you such a stick in the mud? Don’t you think it’s cold not saying anything?” She fired off several questions in a row, finally unable to hold back.
“Nope.” Bai Ling kind of wanted to tease this tsundere little loli.
“You… ahhh!! I can’t stand you humans!” The little loli was fuming.
Bai Ling went quiet again.
She really didn’t know how to respond.
The little loli realized this couldn’t go on, so she changed the subject.
“Human, I’m really curious how you got up here.”
She really was curious how Bai Ling had made it up here.
After all, there was a forbidden magic circle in the tower—normally, people couldn’t get up.
But Bai Ling was just standing here like nothing happened, completely unaffected.
That made her really curious.
Without absolute strength or a strong enough will, there’s no way someone could just stand here like an idiot, staring at her.
“I just walked up!” Bai Ling said calmly, as if it was no big deal.
But the truth was, she really did just walk up.
The little loli clearly didn’t believe it.
“Heh, you think I’m stupid? If anyone could get to the top floor of this tower, what’s the point of the forbidden magic?” She looked at Bai Ling like she was an idiot, totally dismissing what she said.
Just walked up? Why don’t you just fly to the sky!
“How should I know what the forbidden magic is for? It’s obviously just for show!” Maybe she picked this up from Lin Qiufeng, but now Bai Ling was saying things that could piss people off without even trying.
To her, the forbidden magic really was just for show—nice to look at, but useless.
“Human, do you believe I’ll bite you?” The little loli was shaking with anger, practically grinding her teeth as she said this.
But it seemed like she’d been asleep too long and forgot she was an SS-rank elf mage, and also forgot she was an elf, not a dog.
