I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 35 Breakthrough: Meditation Technique Level 4

Her magic power has reached 5000 units.

Although she is far behind Zhang Lingyun, she is already considered to be above average among her peers in the second year of high school.

What's even more astonishing is that her [meditation technique] level has actually broken through to the third level.

In addition, during this period, Xia Youran shed her former gloom, her eyebrows and eyes gradually relaxed, and her appearance became more beautiful.

Their reputation was gradually improving, and today they've become the focus of the school.

The classmates gathered around and started talking to him.

The homeroom teacher was also very surprised, and her evaluation of her changed from "giving up" to "having the potential to get into a top university".

After school—

Many boys from other classes came to see her, wanting to get to know her.

Xia Youran flatly refused all attempts to strike up a conversation or make an invitation.

All she wanted to do now was get home quickly and share her pride with Zhang Lingyun.

However, there are still quite a few boys who believe that good girls are afraid of persistent suitors and swarm around them like flies, relentlessly pursuing them.

Under the osmanthus tree at the school gate, she was stopped by a boy again.

No matter how she tried to refuse, the other party wouldn't give up and insisted on adding her contact information.

Xia Youran looked utterly helpless.

Just then, Zhang Lingyun appeared on the street:

"Xia Youran, let's go home!"

Xia Youran just wanted to get away as soon as possible, so she took the opportunity to make an excuse:

My boyfriend came to pick me up.

As luck would have it, several female classmates happened to pass by, and upon hearing this, they all burst into laughter:

"Xia Youran, didn't you say that was your cousin?"

Xia Youran was startled and quickly said:

"Uh! Yes, it's my cousin. I misspoke just now."

The female classmate teased:

"Ha! You really are Schrödinger's cousin. Sometimes you treat him like a cousin, sometimes like a boyfriend, right?"

Xia Youran's cheeks flushed, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

She pretended not to hear the teasing and quickly caught up with Zhang Lingyun.

The laughter that followed grew even louder!

***

The two were extremely excited when they got home.

Xia Youran dropped her aloof facade from school and started chattering incessantly with Zhang Lingyun.

She kept talking about her performance in today's assessment and how everyone looked on with envy and jealousy.

Zhang Lingyun was also very happy to hear this, and while touching her smooth, silky long hair, he kept praising her progress.

Xia Youran listened obediently, but tears kept falling down her face.

She grew up in a repressive family atmosphere and was never praised by her parents.

Upon receiving Zhang Lingyun's affirmation, she was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly.

For a fleeting moment, she even thought:

She would be very happy if Zhang Lingyun were her father.

Zhang Lingyun took out a tissue and gently wiped away her tears, then smiled and asked:

Why are you crying?

Xia Youran sobbed softly and whispered:

"It's nothing, I'm just too happy."

Zhang Lingyun gently put his arm around her shoulder and said softly:

"Honey, from now on, no matter what happens, you can confide in Daddy."

"Ugh!"

Xia Youran pushed him away.

She secretly longed to rely on someone, but felt embarrassed to admit it.

Zhang Lingyun also brought some good news.

He took out a bottle of golden potion from his personal space.

This is precisely the auxiliary potion for the fourth level of the [Meditation Technique].

By evening, everything was ready.

-----------------

Zhang Lingyun sat on the bed, took the auxiliary magic potion, and then entered a simulated cultivation state:

In the first year, I practiced the fourth level of the [Meditation Technique] but gained nothing, only gaining +2 Charisma.

In the second year, I continued to cultivate but still did not break through, and gained +2 Charm.

In the third year, I figured out a bit of the trick, but ultimately failed, gaining +1 Intelligence and +2 Charm.

In the fourth year, my magic collapsed at a critical point, and I gained +1 stamina and +2 charm.

……

In the 10th year, I was staring blankly at the newly sprouted branches when I happened to witness the scene of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

I have achieved enlightenment on the fourth level of the Meditation Technique, gaining +10 Intelligence and +100 Charm.

Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes.

He finally broke through to the fourth level of the [Meditation Method].

He was filled with excitement, but also a little bit of lingering fear.

Even with the [Awakening Card] and the support potion, it still took 10 years to break through.

If you rely on your own hard work and cultivation, I don't know how many years it would take to level up.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that Lan Ruoxi was too strong.

Xia Youran lay beside Zhang Lingyun the whole time during the [simulated cultivation].

A blanket covered her lower abdomen, and her two long, fair legs were exposed.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun open her eyes, she immediately sat up and asked anxiously:

"How is it?"

Zhang Lingyun pondered for a moment, then slowly smiled:

"I've succeeded. I've broken through to the fourth level."

"marvelous!"

Xia Youran seemed even more excited than him.

She pounced on him and pushed him onto the bed.

The two of them played around for a while, until they were both panting heavily.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was a message sent by Bailu.

Today, Bai Lu bought some auxiliary magic potions for Zhang Lingyun, and she sent a message tonight to ask about the results.

Just as Zhang Lingyun was about to share her joy, she casually dialed a video call.

"Senior, I did it!" he said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's face instantly filled with shock.

She never expected that this junior brother was not only exceptionally talented, but also a cultivation genius.

It's incredible that he was able to break through to the fourth level of the [Meditation Method] in such a short time.

But little did she know!

Her junior brother secretly cheated; on the surface, it only took one night, but in reality, it took ten years of simulator time.

Bai Lu responded excitedly:

"That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you!"

But the next second, the camera panned, and she saw Xia Youran.

Xia Youran was still engrossed in playing around when she climbed out from under Zhang Lingyun and climbed onto his back.

Bai Lu frowned immediately, a question forming in her mind:

"What's going on? Have they already slept together?"

Even if you two are really close, you don't need to broadcast it live to me, do you? Am I just there to lighten the mood between you two?

Bai Lu's roommates heard the commotion and came over to join in the fun:

"Lulu, are you chatting with your boyfriend?"

Bai Lu shuddered and quickly hung up the phone:

No! I don't have a boyfriend.

Xia Youran, riding on Zhang Lingyun's back like Wu Song fighting a tiger, complained:

Why do you keep video chatting with her?

Zhang Lingyun replied:

"She's my senior, so of course I should tell her when I make progress."

Xia Youran snorted and didn't make a big deal out of it.

This is perhaps the biggest difference between witches and ordinary girls.

The witches have a somewhat unusual way of thinking, unlike ordinary girls who are more sensitive.

And that's why there's less suspicion and trouble.

Xia Youran stopped playing around and started giving him a massage.

She leaned close to the back of Zhang Lingyun's neck and whispered:

"Is it comfortable?"

Zhang Lingyun immediately became alert.

He knew this little devil all too well; if she was being overly attentive for no reason, she was either up to no good or had ulterior motives.

Sure enough, Xia Youran continued:

"When are you going to trade me the fourth level of the [Meditation Method]?"

Zhang Lingyun was speechless for a moment.

He had just made a breakthrough and hadn't even had a chance to warm up to it before she set her sights on him.

He played on his phone, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"It's not impossible to trade it to you."

Xia Youran exclaimed excitedly:

"real?"

Zhang Lingyun changed the subject:

"But there's a big problem."

Xia Youran asked in confusion:

"What's the problem?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Lingyun sat up and flipped Xia Youran onto the bed.
