Baek Ain woke up with a slight buzz in his head.
Who would have thought having a foursome after experiencing one hundred reincarnations was a good idea? Not Baek Ain, definitely.
Still, Baek Ain felt his body was great again. It was a refreshing feeling that overshadowed the buzz.
He gave his wives a peck on the forehead and walked to the balcony with a bathrobe. He yawned and ruffled his hair around, seeing the sun rising from the balcony.
[What a lovely day to destroy the Hall of Souls. Am I right?] Alicia suddenly said before Baek Ain could utter a word.
Baek Ain didn't bother to argue with Alicia in the morning and responded calmly, "Yeah. I need breakfast and a cup of coffee, though."
"Breakfast and coffee are ready!" Luo Bingbing appeared from a spatial tear, bringing a tray of breakfast and coffee over.
Baek Ain gazed at her in awe and awkwardly responded, "T-Thanks."
Luo Bingbing smiled and placed the tray on the rail. "Call me if you need something."
After saying that, Luo Bingbing left.
Baek Ain stared at the tray dumbly and sighed slowly, "Tale of Unfinished Samsara, such a bizarre and powerful artifact. Even enemies can become lovers."
[You're pretty lucky to have signed such a reward in the first place, Host]
[I believe the chance is below 0,000001%]
"Wait, I thought the Ultimate Sign-In guaranteed a rare reward?" Baek Ain grabbed a warm roti on the tray. He munched on it and added, "It was supposed to be A-grade or above, depending on the target."
[The minimal reward is that of A-grade, but I've never specified the limit]
"So, in theory, I can get things beyond SSS-grade?"
[Well, yes]
[As I mentioned before, the chance is pretty low]
[And this world is quite low-leveled in terms of Worldly Luck and Universal Laws]
[It's a happy coincidence that you get Luo Bingbing on your side because she could be your pathway to the Alternative Great Thousand Worlds. The Worldly Luck and Universal Laws there are much more powerful]
"Coincidence..." Baek Ain stared at the cup of coffee on the tray. After experiencing one hundred reincarnations, he could sense a vague line that splits into many and connects him to others.
He sipped the coffee and tasted the tart bitterness, "I don't think it was a coincidence, Alicia."
[Is that so...]
Baek Ain finished his breakfast and coffee, blowing air off his chest.
"Maybe it's time to tell my student the truth."
"Aih, I hope they are not too shocked and hate me..."
"What am I even saying? It's not like they can betray me." He rubbed his chest.
...
After a refreshing shower, Baek Ain crashed against the chair and threw a towel at his face. He counted time at the back of his head as a blue-haired lady knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
"Who is there?" Baek Ain asked with a faint smile. Even though he knew who it was, he still asked to create a mood.
"Teacher, it's me. Ling'er." Yao Ling'er stood behind the door. She wore her white alchemist robe with blue silk cloth draped around her shoulder.
"Come in. The door is not locked."
Yao Ling'er entered the room giddily. Her face was plastered with an excited smile because she expected something good when Baek Ain suddenly called her in the morning.
However, what greeted Yao Ling'er was a youthful man with a towel over his face. She couldn't recognize this person as the difference between Baek Ain and Lin Feng was too much.
Baek Ain's physique is that of a beast. Although he looks lean, every fiber of his muscle is 'thoroughly' packed with the 'tyrannical' force of Ancient Mammoths.
His hair was also healthy white, falling to the edge of the chair.
"Who are you?" Yao Ling'er asked coldly. She summoned her flame and had lighting armor covering her body instantly.
Baek Ain lifted the towel slightly and peeked at her face, "Calm down."
"It's me, your teacher."
Yao Ling'er was shocked on the spot. She looked at Baek Ain from top to bottom, not believing his words.
However, there was no mistake.
That voice is none other than Teacher Lin Feng's voice!
"T-Teacher, but how?"
"Your appearance, so young."
"You look almost my age, maybe even younger."
Baek Ain lifted the towel and tossed it away, "This is my true appearance."
"I'm sorry to say this, but the man named Lin Feng is just a facade I created."
"Even then, I'm still your teacher." He smiled, giving his handsome face more charm.
"..." Yao Ling'er stared at Baek Ain blankly. She doesn't know what to say.
Baek Ain is very handsome, to the extreme at that. His sharp features and hazel-gold eyes gave Yao Ling'er an otherworldly quality that other men don't have.
It would be a lie if Yao Ling'er said she wasn't attracted to Baek Ain. She has some unholy thoughts about her godly mentor before he reveals his true identity, and this pushes it above and beyond.
Baek Ain noticed Yao Ling'er wasn't as shocked as he expected.
"You're calmer than I thought." He commented casually.
Yao Ling'er pouted, "Teacher, I'm extremely shocked inside!"
"I don't know what to say..."
"So you lied to us all this time?"
Baek Ain nodded and returned, "Yes. Do you hate me knowing that I lied to you?"
"Also, I won't deny my misdeeds."
"Your alchemy skill..." Yao Ling'er gazed at Baek Ain solemnly.
"Self-taught. I'm not even twenty biologically."
"What about your dying clan..."
"It's a good story to make one's eyes tear up, no?"
"Is Madam Lin Qing really your wife?"
"Yes. Qing Lin is one of my wives."
"This is messed up, teacher. You're playing around with our feelings..." Yao Ling'er was speechless.
Baek Ain shrugged, "I tried my best not to be attached, but I can't help myself. You three are very bright and adorable ladies."
"Watching you evolve in your respective field makes me feel something new."
"In the end... I developed some attachments."
"Is that truth?!" Yao Ling'er walked to him demandingly.
Baek Ain smiled and answered bitterly, "It's the truth. I didn't expect you three to accept this situation quickly, but there was not much time left."
Yao Ling'er firmly looked at Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes, trying to find any fluctuation of emotion that indicated his lies.
She found nothing. Baek Ain's statement about his growing attachment to them was true.
"Damn it." Yao Ling'er cursed in frustration.
Her feelings are in a mess now.
Ultimately, Yao Ling'er cast aside the unnecessary stuff and thought about her journey with Baek Ain. He might lie but never treat Yao Ling'er and her fellow disciples badly.
On the contrary, he was a fantastic teacher who supported them with all his abilities.
Baek Ain sighed, "Don't overcomplicate things for yourself, Ling'er."
"You're a strong heiress of the Yao Clan."
"I revealed my identity because I think it was necessary. Whether you accept it or not, I'm still your teacher."
"How could I bring myself to hate you if I said that..." Yao Ling'er grumbled unhappily. "This is unfair."
"You've been keeping me-! No, the three of us have been in the dark for so long."
"Technically, it's only over a month." Baek Ain fixed his words.
Yao Ling'er grumbled even more, "That over a month felt like an eternity for me!"
After saying that, Yao Ling'er huffed and cradled Baek Ain.
"Teacher, you must take responsibility!"
Yao Ling'er boldly kissed Baek Ain's lips and shoved her tongue to entice him. She grabbed his bathrobe's collar and poured all her frustration into this kiss.
Well, Yao Ling'er was far too deep into the abyss. She might as well dwell inside it forever.
Five minutes later.
Yao Ling'er gasped as their lips separated from each other and blushed hard.
"W-What's your real name?" That was her first kiss, so Yao Ling'er was somewhat embarrassed.
Baek Ain smacked her ass and made them jiggle. "Before I answer your question, that smack is for being a bad girl."
"Mm~!" Yao Ling'er yelped and bit her lips in pleasure.
"Ain." Baek Ain laughed at her reaction, caressing her cheeks gently.
"My real name is Baek Ain."
