5: Chapter 5 Dazzling White

Lin Muyang leaned against the doorframe, admiring the "beautiful scenery" inside the bedroom with a rather pleasant mood.

How should he put it?

Whether it was Lilia's exquisite face, as if meticulously carved by the Creator, or her curvaceous, perfect figure—where an extra inch would be too much and an inch less too little—she was of the highest standard he had ever seen in his life.

Compared to the human beauties he remembered seeing, whether it was the pure senior sisters or the charming junior sisters, they all instantly paled in comparison to an otherworldly elf like Lilia, who embodied both purity and allure, becoming mere mediocre background characters.

The Elf Race was naturally blessed, world-renowned for their handsome looks and extraordinary temperament. As a princess of the Elven Royal Court, Lilia possessed noble and pure blood, pushing the physical advantages of the Elf Race to the extreme. She was the elf among elves, the very definition of perfection.

Yet at this moment, this noble princess, who should have been receiving the worship of all spirits in the Moonlight Forest, was on his simple small bed, panting as she did sit-ups because of his command. Her silver hair was messy, a faint scent of sweat permeated the air, and her long legs wrapped in white stockings traced seductive curves during her movements. The expression on her face, a mix of humiliation, exhaustion, and resentment, added a touch of pity to her Aura.

Lilia mechanically completed the movements, her heart so aggrieved she felt like crying.

This was completely different from what she had expected! According to the records in ancient elven books and the descriptions of the clan elders, which human Summoner capable of summoning the Elf Race—especially royalty—wouldn't treat their elven partner as their most precious comrade and companion, giving them the highest respect and courtesy? She could have even accepted being treated as an equal.

But what kind of master did she end up with?!

Punishing her with this kind of shameful physical training! He was simply a devil! No, even more detestable than the devils in the Abyss!

Finally, the hundred sit-ups ended in agony.

Lilia bounced off the bed almost immediately. Filled with resentment and puffing out her cheeks, she walked back to the living room and stood before Lin Muyang. This time, although her eyes were still as fierce as a little leopard's, she didn't dare take any actual rebellious actions, like lunging forward to bite him.

The several times she had been forced into punishment against her will just now had made her clearly realize the absolute nature of the contract's power. Defying this detestable human would only result in her suffering in the end.

Lin Muyang took in her reaction and nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, she's teachable. This is the awareness a summoned creature should have! How can they always think about baring their teeth at their master?

...Though, using her mouth didn't seem entirely out of the question? It's just that the place she should 'bite' probably shouldn't be his arm...

Lin Muyang quickly cut off that sudden, somewhat dangerous thought and coughed lightly to cover it up.

"Good, being well-behaved like this is the right way." Lin Muyang looked at the Elf Maiden before him, who had a look of total despair on her face. He smiled and reached out, gently pinching her cheek, which had a natural blush and felt exquisitely smooth. "Otherwise, you won't be very likable."

Lilia hadn't expected him to suddenly pull such a move at all. Caught off guard, she couldn't dodge in time.

By the time she reacted, she felt the lingering warmth of his fingers on her pinched cheek. This made her instantly dumbfounded, her mind going blank.

She... she was actually... getting her face pinched by this detestable human?!

Heavens! Desecration! This was a blatant desecration of a noble Elf Princess!

From the moment she was born until now, she had been cherished and respected within the Elf Race. When had she ever been treated so frivolously by any member of the opposite sex? Not even her finger had been touched before!

And yet, after being in this human world for less than half a day, not only was she physically and mentally traumatized, but even her purity was about to be lost?

"Alright, stop dazing out." Lin Muyang acted as if he had done something insignificant. He pressed her shoulders, turned her around, and pushed her toward the full-length mirror on the old wardrobe in the corner of the living room. Then, he found a wooden comb in a drawer and handed it to her. "First, fix that hair of yours that looks like a bird's nest."

Lilia was originally fuming, calculating her one-hundred-and-first way to curse this human. But when she subconsciously looked up into the mirror, her attention was instantly diverted.

Who was that girl in the mirror with the silver hair as disheveled as an explosion?!

Heavens! Is this still the graceful Elf Princess Lilia who always maintains her poise? This hair is so messy it looks like it was just hit by a level ten gale and then rolled on the ground three times!

The massive visual shock made her instantly forget the "shame" of having her face pinched. A love for beauty was an instinct carved into the bones of every elf, especially female elves. She almost snatched the comb from Lin Muyang's hand and, with a near-tragic expression, began to carefully groom her wretchedly messy hair.

"When you're done, I'll take you out to level up and get familiar with the combat style of this world," Lin Muyang said casually from the side.

"Eh?" Lilia's small hand, which was combing the ends of her hair, suddenly froze. She looked at Lin Muyang through the mirror in disbelief. "Clearly, This Princess should be the one taking you to level up! You're a rookie Summoner who just changed classes and probably can't even conjure a small fireball. What combat power could you possibly have? When we encounter monsters, you'll still have to rely on This Princess for protection!"

She spoke with full confidence. Although her role was support, at Level 1 she possessed 26 points of Strength and impressive Agility. Combined with the damage effect of the Holy Light Spell, she was more than capable of handling low-level monsters. Protecting a fragile Summoner was, in her view, only natural.

"I just praised you for being good, and now you're questioning your master again?" Hearing this, Lin Muyang stepped forward and gave the back of her head a light smack. "It seems the lesson earlier wasn't profound enough!"

"Hmph! Stupid human!" Lilia winced and shrunk her neck, but she still wouldn't admit defeat. She made a sassy face at Lin Muyang in the mirror. "I won't acknowledge you as This Princess's master..."

"That's not up to you." Lin Muyang found her stubbornness quite amusing and teased her on purpose. "Come, let me hear you say 'Master'."

"Mas... Master!"

Lilia's mouth was completely out of her control. Almost the instant Lin Muyang finished speaking, those two words clearly escaped her lips.

After saying it, she was stunned. She quickly reached out with both hands to cover her mouth tightly. Her fair little face instantly turned beet red, all the way to her ears, and her blue eyes were filled with shame, anger, and disbelief.

So frustrating! This feeling of not being able to control her own mouth... was too, too, too annoying!! This damn contract!

While the Elf Maiden was still struggling with her hair and her sense of shame, Lin Muyang once again sank his consciousness into his Supreme Halo system.

"The variety of these Auras is really ridiculously high..." He browsed through the seemingly endless list of Auras. The various effects were strange and diverse, making his head spin as he marveled at them.

Attack, defense, support, healing, control, displacement... almost every category he could think of had a corresponding God-Tier Aura. He even saw a few with extremely absurd effects, such as [Double Experience] and [Drop Quality Increase]. If word of these got out, it would be enough to drive Class Transferees all over the world crazy.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to an Aura with a relatively simple description but an extremely tempting effect.

[Power of Wind Sufficiency (God-Tier Aura)]: Once activated, you and all your summoned creatures will be enveloped by pure wind elements, gaining the ability to fly freely in the air. Flight posture is controlled by thought, and flight speed is positively correlated with the 'Agility' attribute. Consumes a small amount of mana to maintain. (Note: Soaring through the sky and looking down upon all living beings is the first step toward becoming a powerhouse!)

"Flight?!" Lin Muyang's eyes lit up instantly. "I can fly right from the start?! This is so cool?!"

He wasn't actually in a hurry to study the other combat-type Auras. He could just turn on one or two, like Indestructible or Wind-Riding Divine Movement, and that would be enough to walk tall in the early stages.

But the most broken part of his Supreme Halo talent was these special Auras with diverse effects and comprehensive functions. They provided not just combat power, but unparalleled strategic mobility and all sorts of inconceivable abilities.

Like this Power of Wind Sufficiency!

One had to understand that in this world, the ability to fly was extremely rare and precious. For ordinary Class Transferees, unless their class itself came with flight skills, or they obtained rare flying mounts or equipment, they would need to reach at least Level 50 and achieve a certain level of energy control before they could fly using their own power.

And him? He had just changed classes—Level 1! And he could already fly freely along with his summoned creatures!

This simply shattered conventional knowledge!

"Activate, Power of Wind Sufficiency!"

Lin Muyang performed the operation impatiently.

A fresh and soft pale green light spread out from his body like ripples, quickly enveloping him.

In the next moment, he clearly felt his body lose most of its weight, gently lifted by a light and agile wind energy. He tried to control this power with his thoughts—up, down, forward, backward, hovering...

He succeeded!

His feet slowly left the ground, and his entire person was suspended in the air half a meter above the floor. He could float around the room at will, his movements smooth and natural, as if he were born to fly!

"Haha, awesome!" Lin Muyang excitedly circled the living room twice at low altitude, feeling this sense of unbridled freedom.

At that moment, Lilia, who was facing the mirror and had finally managed to comb her silver hair smooth and neat, discovered with bewilderment that her long hair, which had just regained its elegance, began to dance again without warning!

A familiar yet strange wind energy came from nowhere, gently swirling around her. Her silver hair, woven like moonlight, seemed to lose the shackles of gravity, floating upward strand by strand like seaweed drifting in water, swaying lightly above her head.

???

"Hu... Human! What did you do to me again?!"

Lilia looked at her hair in the mirror, which had become "wild" again, and was almost on the verge of tears. The results of her hard work grooming for so long were ruined just like that!

However, something even more alarming was still to come.

She just subconsciously waved her arm out of anger, trying to disperse the strange wind elements around her.

As a result...

Her entire body actually followed suit, feet leaving the ground as she floated up weightlessly?!

"Ah—!" she let out a short cry of surprise, her hands and feet flailing a bit in the air as she tried to find a point of leverage, only to cause her body to rotate slowly in mid-air.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Lilia, you're flying too?" Lin Muyang noticed the commotion over here and, controlling the wind power, leisurely "flew" over to her.

He looked at the girl's cute appearance as she flailed helplessly in the air like she was drowning, finding it very amusing. However, his gaze was soon drawn to another sight—

Because Lilia had suddenly floated up in a panic, her posture was unstable. The hem of her lightweight blue-and-white elven dress, under the combined effect of the wind elements and gravity, was uncontrollably and slowly fluttering upward...

Looking from this downward angle...

So white! A dazzling white!

Lin Muyang felt his heart skip a beat and subconsciously took an extra look...
