Chapter 114 Daily Life. - Yang Mingyi is crowned with the yellow robe.
In the previous chapter, Yang Mingyi was having a girls' night chat in her room with two trainee mages, Cordelia and Li Xingqi. They happened to be talking about "magic" and mentioned that this country was a "fixed leveling point" for water mages.
Cordelia disagreed with the idea of "fixed leveling points." She told Li Xingqi, "It's not that 'fixed'. I've also figured it out on my own, or sought out water mages from other countries to level up."
Li Xingqi asked Cordelia, "That's not right. Didn't you just say 'Anyone who wants to level up must come'?"
Cordelia explained to Li Xingqi, "Oops, I said that wrong. If you've reached 'Mastery', then you definitely have it. It seems the process of reaching 'Mastery' is quite complicated."
Li Xingqi said to Cordelia, "Oh, that's not bad. We're in this country, so we can ask about the 'level-up' in advance."
At this moment, Yang Mingyi suddenly spoke up. She said to the other two girls, "By the way, can you tell me more about how to perform the 'Water Walking Technique'? I almost forgot."
Cortilauia immediately advised Yang Mingyi, "No, no, no, don't learn this yet."
Li Xingqi also followed suit and advised Yang Mingyi, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, don't learn it yet."
Yang Mingyi looked puzzled and asked the other two girls, "Why? You just told me to study hard."
Cortilauia explained to Yang Mingyi, "Don't look at this carefully or learn it well for now. You should learn something else first." It can be seen that she looked embarrassed when she spoke, as if something bad would happen if she learned it.
Yang Mingyi was completely stunned after hearing this. She asked Cordilauria, "Why?"
Cordelia just gave a helpless smile and didn't explain why.
After observing this, Li Xingqi decided to explain things to Yang Mingyi herself. She sighed and explained, "Mingyi, this 'Water Walking Technique' will continuously drain your magical energy. If your magical energy is too low, you'll probably fall into the water before you get very far."
Yang Mingyi was shocked and blurted out, "Ah? A drowned rat?"
Cordelia looked embarrassed and said to Yang Mingyi, "Forget it, let's not learn the 'water walking technique' for now. It would be very embarrassing if you fall into the water." When she said this, most people could tell that it was just "talking from experience."
After hearing this, Yang Mingyi said "Oh" and thought to herself, "This is good. Next time, when people ask me if I know how to walk on water, I can say that I can't swim and I'm afraid of drowning, so I can't use it." Thinking of this, she let out a long "Hmm" through her nasal cavity.
Afterwards, Li Xingqi lay back down on the bed, and the three girls started chatting about other topics.
After a while, the three girls returned to the topic of magic.
Cordelia told Yang Mingyi, "Mingyi, you also know Holy Magic. I heard that to reach 'Mastery' in Holy Magic, you need to go to the Elven Forest."
Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "It's no use saying that. No one can go to the Elf Forest."
Cordelia said to Li Xingqi, "Whether or not you can go is another matter, but at least you should tell me, just in case Mingyi can go."
Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "That's impossible."
We have said this before. People other than elves cannot enter the Elf Forest.
Speaking of this topic, Yang Mingyi didn't join in the conversation between the other two girls. Instead, her eyes were blank, lost in thought. She thought, "I think I've already mastered Holy Magic. I shouldn't need to go to the Elf Forest anymore. But why did they only give me Mastery of Holy Magic, and not Water Magic as well?"
While Yang Mingyi was lost in thought, the other two girls looked in the direction she was looking. It turned out that when Yang Mingyi was lost in thought, her gaze was exactly in the direction of the wardrobe.
Cordilauia waved her hand in front of Yang Mingyi and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything in that closet?"
Before Yang Mingyi could answer, Li Xingqi got off the bed and said to her, "Let me see what clothes you have." Before she could finish her words, she ran to the closet.
Yang Mingyi finally came to her senses and was about to stand up to stop them, but it was too late. Li Xingqi had already opened her wardrobe. As soon as she left the chair, she saw that the wardrobe was completely opened, so she had no choice but to sit back down.
Li Xingqi was stunned when she opened Yang Mingyi's wardrobe. She said to Yang Mingyi, "Oh my God! You have a treasure here, right?" She kept praising the gorgeous clothes in the wardrobe while looking through them.
Yang Mingyi didn't answer Li Xingqi's question, but instead smiled bitterly, thinking, "I was on guard against Jiahui last time, but someone still saw me..." What was going on? The last time You Jiahui came to her room to wait, she had been looking for clothes while trying to prevent You Jiahui from looking at her clothes. So, she had only opened half of the wardrobe to prevent You Jiahui from seeing all those gorgeous clothes. This time, Li Xingqi had opened the entire wardrobe, so she could see everything.
Hearing Li Xingqi's admiration, Cordilauia also hurried over to look at the clothes in the closet.
Cordelia, who had taken out the costumes with Li Xingqi to admire, couldn't take her eyes off them. As she looked at them, she asked Yang Mingyi, "I never knew you had a thing for collecting fancy clothes."
Yang Mingyi looked helpless and told Cordilauria, "Alas, I didn't buy those clothes..."
Li Xingqi asked Yang Mingyi, "What do you mean? Stolen?"
Cordelia retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is Mingyi that kind of person?" Then, turning to Yang Mingyi, she said, "Mingyi, were these given to you by someone else?"
Yang Mingyi looked distressed and told Cordilauria, "These were all given by the princess..."
Cordelia was surprised when she heard this and muttered, "The princess is so generous..."
Soon, Cordeiroa and Li Xingqi moved all the clothes from their closet onto the bed, ready to examine them one by one. The most eye-catching piece was a gorgeous red and gold dress. This prompted Cordeiroa and Li Xingqi to try it on themselves, then look in the mirror to see how it looked.
Cordilauia looked in the mirror for a long time, muttering, "I don't understand this..." Then she turned to Yang Mingyi and said, "Mingyi, can I try it on directly?"
Yang Mingyi acted very generously and said to Cortilauia, "Just wear it."
After getting Yang Mingyi's permission, Cordilauia and Li Xingqi started to get busy.
A moment later, while Li Xingqi was helping Cordilauria put on her clothes, she asked Yang Mingyi, who had just stood up, "Mingyi, why did the princess give you so many clothes? There are so many outfits in your closet, all given by the princess."
While the other two girls were still trying on outfits, Yang Mingyi had planned to go to the kitchen to find some food, but she was stopped again. She replied to Li Xingqi, "These were all gifts from the princess. Several times when I went to see her, I'd run into a tailor making her clothes, and she'd have them make me a matching set as well. After a few such visits, I ended up with a growing collection of outfits."
Li Xingqi was stunned after hearing this and asked Yang Mingyi, "Ah? Are these the same clothes the princess wears now?"
Yang Mingyi told Li Xingqi, "That's right! Not everyone else has the chance to wear a princess's costume. It's so rare, you have to try every one of them." She said this because she wanted the other two girls to change slowly here, and then she would go to the kitchen to find food.
However, Li Xingqi didn't let Yang Mingyi leave. She said to Yang Mingyi, "Great! Mingyi, please help me and let me try it on too."
In this way, Yang Mingyi was passively added to the "busy work".
After changing several sets of clothes, Cordelia looked at herself in the mirror and muttered to herself, "Every one of these looks so beautiful. It's a pity that they don't fit me..." She looked at herself in the mirror happily, but also sighed.
Think about it, Yang Mingyi is only a little bit fatter than Cordeiroia. Even if Cordeiroia doesn't have too much excess fabric, her clothes definitely look a bit baggy when she wears them.
Yang Mingyi was busy helping Li Xingqi put on her clothes, and neither of them had time to pay attention to Kaudilaoya's current troubles.
A little later, Li Xingqi also found her favorite outfit. Cordeiroia and Li Xingqi both forgot about their trainee uniforms and chatted and laughed in their favorite outfits, then began dancing hand in hand.
Yang Mingyi was stunned. She didn't know that the other two girls could dance.
In fact, there is nothing strange about it. After all, one is the daughter of a nobleman and the other is the daughter of a big businessman. Naturally, they have learned it.
After dancing for a while, the two girls felt it wasn't enough and asked Yang Mingyi to join them. But Yang Mingyi didn't know how to dance, and her clothes didn't match theirs.
The more Cordelia looked at it, the more she felt it was out of place. She suddenly said to Yang Mingyi, "No! Mingyi, your clothes don't match us! Choose something to wear! Quick!"
Li Xingqi agreed and asked Yang Mingyi, "Which one do you want to change into?" They immediately concluded that Yang Mingyi had to change clothes.
Seeing such a generous offer, Yang Mingyi had no choice but to go along with the other two girls. She looked at Li Xingqi's blue outfit and thought, "The blue one's been taken, so let's go with the yellow one..." With that in mind, she pointed to an outfit on the bed and said to Li Xingqi, "Let's go with the yellow one."
With that, Cortilauia and Li Xingqi began to dress Yang Mingyi. Yang Mingyi even deliberately closed her eyes, waiting for the other two girls to change her clothes.
Several minutes later, when she opened her eyes again, Yang Mingyi saw herself in the mirror, gleaming with gold. Somehow, of all the outfits the princess had given her, this one suited her perfectly. It made her look especially elegant and graceful.
After seeing it, Cordelia and Li Xingqi exclaimed in unison: "Wow! So golden!"
Yang Mingyi looked at herself in the mirror and muttered, "Family, who understands? I woke up and I'm wearing a yellow robe!"
After hearing this, Cordiola and Li Xingqi asked in unison: What does "wearing a yellow robe" mean?
Yang Mingyi didn't answer the other two girls, but continued with her own little drama. She continued to mutter to herself, "Oh my! Now that I've been given the imperial robe, I'll just do it!" By the end, she was practically breaking into operatic singing. Then, with a flick of her skirt and another turn, she finished her performance.
Yang Mingyi's actions made people think she was about to "ascend the throne." However, the other two girls really couldn't understand what she was doing.
After Yang Mingyi stood still and didn't say anything, Cortilauia hurriedly asked Yang Mingyi, "And then?"
After hearing this, Yang Mingyi immediately shook her head and told Cortilauia, "What then? There is no then!"
At that moment, all the lights suddenly went out, interrupting the three girls' play. The lights in the palace were all turned on and off at the same time. This has something to do with "magic," but we'll talk about this in detail later.
In the pitch darkness, Yang Mingyi muttered, "Ah? Is it already so late?"
Cordelia also muttered, "Yeah, how come time flies so fast?"
Li Xingqi said to the other two girls, "Take off all your clothes first and put them back in the closet."
With that, the three girls began packing their clothes. Only after they had everything put away in their closets did they prepare to go to bed. Fortunately, Yang Mingyi knew the art of cleansing, so the three girls didn't have to wash up before bed.
After Yang Mingyi cast the spell, Cordelia was surprised and asked Yang Mingyi, "This is 'mist magic', right? Are you already 'proficient' in water magic?"
Li Xingqi was also surprised and looked at Yang Mingyi with confusion.
Yang Mingyi told the other two girls, "Yes. But I only know two spells. It's probably because I don't have enough magic energy."
Cordelia said to Li Xingqi, "It seems that magic energy is more important."
Li Xingqi nodded in agreement. She said to Cordelia, "As long as your magic energy increases significantly, you'll be able to learn more spells faster, and leveling up will be a breeze. Learning Mist Magic spells will also be much faster."
After that, the three girls got into bed together.
Cordelia suddenly said to Yang Mingyi, "Mingyi, who told you about those things in the dungeon?"
How should Yang Mingyi respond to this sudden question before bed? We'll talk about it in the next chapter.
