Chapter 34: Messing with People Again

Luna was puzzled by what she heard.

After all, she had tried to hold Eliza’s hand several times before, but it always passed right through as if grasping air.

But since Eliza said so, she decided to try again.

As their hands were about to touch, Luna held her breath.

When their fingers truly intertwined, Luna was shocked to find that her hand actually grasped Eliza’s, without passing through as before.

This…

Luna’s eyes widened as she looked at their tightly held hands in disbelief.

She could even feel the texture of her skin clearly.

Eliza’s hand was pale and delicate, smooth as fine porcelain, soft and warm to the touch, like holding a gentle cloud.

This real and mysterious sensation made Luna a little intoxicated.

Her hand feels so nice…

Luna thought to herself.

“Now that my ability has strengthened, my physical sensation is becoming more real. However, only you can see me.”

Luna reluctantly withdrew her hand and looked at Eliza again.

Just as she said, previously she still appeared semi-transparent, but now she seemed more like a real “person”.

“Then… aren’t you unable to leave me for too far? I remember you said if you got too far, you’d be forcibly pulled back to my side?”

“That was true before. But that’s because my ability has grown much stronger now, so I no longer have to stick to you. As long as your ‘scent’ is present somewhere, I can stay there.”

Scent…

Hearing this, Luna curiously sniffed her own body.

The scent of yesterday’s body wash was still there, her body still fragrant.

Seeing Luna sniffing herself, Eliza couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny…”

“I didn’t mean that kind of scent. Hahahaha!”

Seeing Eliza laughing at her, Luna felt a bit embarrassed.

All her silly actions were seen by Eliza.

“What scent? What kind of scent are you talking about?”

Eliza had a sly smile on her lips, trying to hide the amusement in her eyes.

“Are you really that curious?”

Eliza blinked, her gaze full of teasing.

Luna’s curiosity was piqued, and she nodded involuntarily.

Seeing this, Eliza lightly walked over to Luna, slowly leaning in, so close that their breaths intertwined.

Then, with a nearly provocative gesture, she rose on tiptoe, her face slowly approaching Luna’s cheek.

In Luna’s moment of confusion, Eliza’s tongue, like a sudden breeze, gently brushed Luna’s cheek, leaving a trace of warmth and moisture.

This unexpected action caught Luna completely off guard.

Her eyes widened.

“Eliza! You…”

Luna’s voice trembled with astonishment and embarrassment.

Eliza, as if tasting some rare delicacy, licked her lips in satisfaction, her face glowing with a lingering sense of pleasure.

“This is the scent. Unique and one of a kind.”

“You…!”

“Alright, alright, don’t worry about me. Go take care of your business.”

Eliza stopped teasing and returned to the desk to continue eating.

Luna was still lost in the aftermath of what had just happened.

This Eliza…

She’s messing with me again!

“Sis, aren’t you leaving yet?”

At that moment, Xiao Xi’s voice suddenly came from the living room, curious as to why Luna was taking so long in the bedroom.

Oh no, I wasted time being teased by Eliza…

Luna quickly packed her bag, put on her headphones, and prepared to leave.

“I’m heading out, Eliza. Be careful not to be seen.”

“Bye bye.”

After saying goodbye to Eliza, Luna went to the living room.

She said farewell to her sister, then headed out the door.

The principal and the others took the Hunter Association’s car back to the Principal’s Office.

“Honestly, wouldn’t it have been better to just use my Teleportation Array? Look at all the traffic, and it’s already noon by the time we returned.”

Principal Tan looked at Lu Ming and the President with a hint of complaint.

They were sitting on the sofa in the Principal’s Office, and Principal Tan was brewing tea for them.

“No need to trouble yourself, Principal. I find cars more comfortable.”

“Same here.”

Both Lu Ming and the President had experienced the principal’s Teleportation Array.

After experiencing it, their iron rule became: [If you can avoid using the principal’s Teleportation Array, then don’t.]

“By the way, Mr. Lu Ming, did you call your daughters over?”

“Yes, I asked one to come as soon as I arrived. The other one was injured, so I didn’t ask her to come.”

“I see… So what ranks are your daughters?”

The President asked Lu Ming.

“One A-Rank, one S-Rank.”

“A-Rank… then it’s understandable she couldn’t come due to injury.”

The President assumed it was the A-Rank daughter who was injured, but he was completely wrong.

“On the contrary, it’s my S-Rank daughter who was injured, and the other is fine.”

The President was so shocked by his words that he gulped down a mouthful of scalding tea.

“Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot——!”

Serves you right! That’s what you get for not using my Teleportation Array!

The principal secretly rejoiced at the sight.

“But it’s understandable. After all, the elder sister is S-Rank, so it’s natural she’d get hurt protecting her A-Rank younger sister.”

“So that’s how it is…”

“By the way, Lu Ming, how are those two girls doing in their studies?”

Principal Tan asked.

“Their grades… are pretty good. They both passed the midterms smoothly.”

“That’s good to hear.”

As the three chatted, a silver-haired girl emerged from the Elevator.

It was Luna.

“Yo, Little Lu is here. Have a seat.”

Lu Ming patted the seat beside him, motioning Luna to sit next to him.

Luna obediently sat down as her father indicated.

“Let me introduce, this is my daughter, Luna.”

“Hello, uncles.”

Luna greeted them politely.

“Mmm, what a beautiful child.”

“I’m the President of the Water City Hunter Association. You can call me [Eye of Heaven].”

The President introduced himself, then Lu Ming introduced Principal Tan to his daughter.

“You should remember him from the Opening Ceremony. He’s the Principal of this Magic Academy, Tan Shenzhi.”

“Hello, Principal…”

At this moment, Luna was like a child who had done something wrong.

After greeting everyone, she lowered her head and fell silent.

No way!

How could I relax in this situation!

In fact, while in the Elevator, Luna saw from the floor directory that the top floor was the Principal’s Office.

If her father hadn’t told her to come, she would have thought she was in big trouble to be summoned to the principal!

“Hahaha, don’t be nervous, Luna. I won’t eat you. I suppose you know why you’re here.”

“Mm…”

Luna knew the purpose of her visit.

But facing the Principal and the President of the Hunter Association for the first time made her nervous.

“Ahem——!”

The President cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Since Miss Luna is here, let’s get down to business. Miss Luna, please explain what happened yesterday.”

“Mm…”
