Lin Ling: “...”
The wave of gratitude she had felt from her body becoming lighter vanished by half in an instant.
She looked down at the soft layer of wind beneath her feet, then looked up at Phelan.
“Lord Phelan.”
“Yes?”
“Were you just showing concern for me?”
Phelan nodded.
“I was.”
Before Lin Ling could even begin to feel touched, Phelan added:
“It was also a reminder that your health is so low that even a fall could be the cause of your death.”
Lin Ling: “...”
Niya tried her best to suppress a laugh beside her.
Lin Ling clutched her chest, her tone filled with mock sorrow.
“Even Lord Phelan has learned how to tease me.”
Phelan looked at her.
“This is simply a factual statement regarding your HP.”
Lin Ling: “That’s the part that hurts the most.”
She tried taking a step forward.
Her body felt light as a feather. The moment her toes left the ground, the wind caught and supported her.
She tried a small hop.
To her surprise, she actually floated up about half a foot before slowly drifting back down.
Lin Ling’s eyes gradually lit up.
“Wait a minute.”
Niya suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Miss Saintess?”
Lin Ling looked down at the wind swirling around her feet, and a very logical, very interesting idea suddenly popped into her head.
“Since Levitation Magic can make me float...”
“What if I inject a little more mana into it?”
Phelan looked up.
“Theoretically, it would increase your hovering altitude.”
Lin Ling’s eyes were now fully glowing.
“This... is this the legendary flight magic of the fantasy world? The Sky Dancing technique from Dragon Ball!”
Niya immediately grew nervous.
“Miss Saintess?”
Lin Ling raised her hand and tried to channel a bit of mana into the wind magic at her feet.
The pale green current of air suddenly flared bright.
In the next moment, she drifted upward.
First, one foot off the ground.
Then two feet.
Then three feet.
Lin Ling looked down at the ground getting further and further away, her face gradually filling with shock.
“I’m flying.”
Her voice was airy.
“Niya.”
“I’m flying!”
Niya hurriedly reached out, trying to grab the hem of her skirt.
“Miss Saintess, be careful!”
But Lin Ling was already like a baby bird that had just learned to control its wings, wobbling as she drifted forward.
At first, she only drifted through the hallway.
Then she drifted around a corner.
Then, she discovered that as long as she tilted slightly in a certain direction, the wind would carry her that way.
“Wow.”
Lin Ling’s eyes sparkled.
“This is so much more convenient than walking.”
Niya quickly chased after her.
“Miss Saintess, you can’t float too fast!”
Lin Ling looked back.
“Don’t worry, I am now the Mage among Mages, the Saiyan among Saiyans.”
Just as she finished speaking, her body did a slow half-turn in mid-air.
Lin Ling: “...”
Niya: “...”
Phelan added calmly:
“Insufficient directional control.”
Lin Ling struggled to steady herself.
“This is just the novice phase.”
“Every flight skill has an adjustment period at the start.”
Phelan lowered his head to record.
——Lin Ling modified Levitation Magic into a flight skill and referred to herself as a species known as a Saiyan.
Lin Ling turned her head while still in mid-air.
“Lord Phelan, you’re not allowed to record that!”
Phelan: “Already recorded.”
Lin Ling: “...”
She decided to ignore the recording board for now.
After a brief period of adjustment, Lin Ling finally mastered basic directional control.
And so, she drifted all the way down the corridor.
The windows of the Demon King's Castle were open.
A cool breeze blew in from outside.
Lin Ling had originally just wanted to get close to the window to see the sky.
But as she drifted toward the window, the wind magic was caught by the outside air current.
In the next instant, she drifted right out the window.
Niya: “Miss Saintess?!”
Lin Ling: “Huh?”
She looked down.
The outer walls of the Demon King's Castle slid slowly past beneath her feet.
In the distance was the black earth.
Even further away was the expanding patch of green from the experimental fields.
The air was much more open than in the corridor.
The wind blew through her platinum blonde hair.
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment.
Then her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
“Niya!”
“I’m outside! Did you see that?!”
Niya stood by the window, her face pale.
“Miss Saintess, come back quickly! It’s dangerous like that!”
Lin Ling wobbled unsteadily in mid-air.
“I think I can still control it!”
Niya immediately turned around.
“Lord Phelan, I’m going after her!”
Phelan, however, raised his hand and gently stopped her.
“Niya.”
“But the Saintess—”
“She will be fine.”
Niya froze.
Phelan looked out the window.
In the distant sky, the tiny shadow of a purple bat had already followed her silently.
“Aliviel’s familiar will follow her at all times.”
“If danger occurs, it will bring her back immediately.”
Niya finally breathed a small sigh of relief.
But she still watched the window with concern.
Phelan spoke again:
“Now, I need you to deliver lunch to our guest, Miss Leticia.”
Niya was startled.
“Me?”
Phelan nodded.
“Yes.”
“Her emotions are still unstable.”
“However, not eating will affect future negotiations.”
“Compared to us, you are less likely to provoke her.”
Niya looked down at her hands.
“But Miss Leticia seems to really hate demons.”
Phelan said calmly:
“Therefore, you only need to deliver the lunch to the door.”
“Do not enter.”
“And do not argue with her.”
Niya nodded earnestly.
“I understand.”
She glanced out the window again.
Lin Ling had drifted a bit further away.
Phelan added:
“The familiar is with Lin Ling.”
“You don’t need to worry.”
Niya whispered:
“But the Saintess always makes people worry.”
Phelan was silent for a moment.
Then he nodded.
“Indeed.”
