Lynn crossed his arms and smirked without saying a word.
Nanako's ahoge suddenly sprang up with a "pop" sound.
She secretly glanced at Lynn.
Her disciple seemed to... have many thoughts again...
Indeed, this time her disciple had taken the initiative to follow along, clearly showing that he was also very concerned about the mysterious source that appeared here.
It seems that to break the curse here, she would need to start with her disciple!
...
Several hours later.
In the hotel.
Nanako, who had returned to her original form, quickly locked the door and swiftly lay down on the bed, covering herself with the blanket.
"If I ask my disciple directly, he'll definitely become suspicious."
Nanako's mind raced as she seriously contemplated:
"Then to find a way to solve the curse from my disciple, I can only approach through his other persona!"
That's right!
Nanako immediately thought of her disciple's Ice Snow Sovereign form.
Since she couldn't ask her disciple directly...
Why not just ask the Ice Snow Sovereign that her disciple transforms into?
After all, nominally, that's also her teacher!
With that thought...
Nanako closed her eyes, trying hard to clear her mind and enter a meditative state.
Then she recited in her heart:
"Great Ice Snow Sovereign, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling... seeking your mighty protection and mercy!"
Indeed.
After she left last time, the Ice Snow Sovereign had given her a method to enter the ice snow realm.
And that was to praise that great being in her heart!!
But every time she had to recite these chuunibyou lines, Nanako had to wage a long internal battle.
Because each time, she would think of her disciple's mischievous, playful smile.
And then the lines would become very strange.
"Great disciple, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling, seeking your mighty protection and mercy!"
(▼ヘ▼#)
It really took a long psychological struggle every time to recite it!
Ah well!!
...
Meanwhile.
In another room.
Lynn, who was slouching in his chair, suddenly paused as he heard his loli master's devout call in his mind.
"Great Ice Snow Sovereign, Nanako praises you, Nanako calls upon you, Nanako requests entry into your great dwelling..."
Hahahahaha!
(≖ᴗ≖)✧
Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed.
When his loli master encountered something she couldn't solve, she had already gotten used to going to the ice snow realm to find her teacher!
Now that's being obedient!
After all, having such a powerful senior as your backup, of course you should make proper use of it.
He really couldn't wait to see the expression on his loli master's face when he finally revealed everything!
Lynn's lips curled into a smile.
His body instantly vanished from the spot and appeared in the ice snow palace.
Howling winds and swirling snow surrounded him.
Lynn immediately transformed into the Ice Snow Goddess, sitting high upon the throne with a slight smile.
He snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap—
Nanako, who was in her meditative state, was instantly transported into this ice snow realm.
Her petite body gradually materialized.
Before Nanako could open her eyes, that grand and elegant voice reached her ears.
"Long time no see, Nanako. It seems your power has grown considerably."
The voice was ethereal and distant.
Nanako opened her eyes.
She immediately saw the dignified and elegant goddess sitting on the throne.
Wearing a gentle smile, soft and divine, looking absolutely sacred from every angle.
If she hadn't known this was her disciple's persona,
Nanako would have almost been fooled by this image again!
Stay calm.
Stay calm.
You can do this, Nanako.
Nanako took a deep breath, then looked up reverently, her eyes full of admiration:
"Master, Nanako has been studying very hard, striving to inherit your legacy, Master. Nanako won't disappoint you."
[Hahaha! You little rascal, now it's your turn!]
[Rise, rise, no need for formalities. It's the thought that counts. Hearing you say this makes your master very pleased!]
Nanako gritted her teeth.
Even the way of self-reference had changed!
Lynn maintained that dignified smile and slowly stood up, saying:
"Nanako, if master's guess is correct, you must have encountered some troubles in the real world, right? Is it about the mysterious source?"
What else could it be!
What else could it possibly be?!!
Looking at the profound expression on this goddess's face, Nanako was about to lose it.
Disciple, you're right beside me, how could you not know?
But although she thought this way inside, she couldn't show it on the outside.
Nanako's eyes widened in shock: "Master, you... you know everything?"
[Of course I know, because I'm right beside you, I'm that beloved disciple of yours →_→]
[No! Must stay serious, must appear more profound, need to deepen loli master's admiration even more!]
Nanako: "???!!!"
Lynn, maintaining the goddess's dignified smile, said: "Because I see into your heart, Nanako. You encountered something unusual in Lakeside Town, your companions were affected by the mysterious source, and you want to help them return to normal. This worries you, so you came seeking your teacher's help."
"Am I correct, child?"
The voice was so gentle, like a soft evening breeze.
Combined with that ethereal image, it truly created an indescribably mysterious and powerful presence.
Like an omniscient deity who understood everything in the world...
Nanako forcefully suppressed her urge to break character and said in shock:
"Y-yes... truly nothing escapes Master's eyes..."
[Of course! Of course! After all, I am your master, the great and omniscient Ice Snow Sovereign! Hahaha *hiccup*!]
[Let me think, if I speak now, it would lower my prestige~]
[So what I should display now is... hmm...]
Then.
Lynn, in his Ice Snow Sovereign form, showed a profound smile, that wise and serene expression suggesting everything was understood without words.
[Let me turn up the special effects a bit~]
Instantly, the faint ice snow halo behind Lynn became even more dazzling and brilliant.
It made the goddess's aura even more elevated.
Seeing this, Nanako was dumbfounded.
This... this...
You stupid disciple, please don't go too far!
Nanako was barely managing to keep from breaking character, don't push your master to the limit!
"Child." The voice was gentle and ethereal: "Whatever troubles you, speak them. Your master will always be the mighty sovereign standing behind you."
[That's right, that's right, your disciple will always be the unattainable man standing behind you~ (wistfully) (wistfully)]
Nanako was stunned.
This... this...
Please...
My dear disciple...
I know you want to maintain this profound image in front of your master...
But please speak in a slightly more normal tone, master really can't hold it together anymore...
If you didn't have so many atmosphere-breaking thoughts, everything would be fine!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
