“There’s much more to teach than magic. Culture, life lessons?”
“Don’t you have anything better to do?”
Siod was taken aback. Why the hostility? But William didn’t seem interested in further conversation and opened a book. Siod glanced and saw it was an alchemy book.
“Do you like alchemy?”
Siod hated alchemy. Its origin was in humans extracting magical power from dragon corpses.
William simply nodded without hesitation.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“It’s none of your business. Mind your own.”
Siod felt irked again.
“We have a long way to go, why not share the reason?”
“Why don’t you just teleport to the mansion?”
Siod rubbed his temples and said.
“I’m trying to get to know you. We’ll be seeing each other more often, right?”
“Who knows.”
William seemed uninterested in responding.
‘Does he think I might get fired?’
Siod laughed incredulously.
“No way. Larisa is too adorable, and I’m doing my best. We’re already quite close.”
Mentioning Larisa caught William’s attention. Siod grinned shamelessly at his finally engaged reaction.
“What’s your relationship with Mother?”
Siod’s smile faltered. Caught off guard, he pondered his response.
“……Close acquaintances?”
That was all he could say. They had been intimately close, after all. But William just resolved his curiosity and fell silent again.
Siod tried to engage him by looking at the book he was reading.
“That’s quite advanced stuff. Who taught you?”
“…….”
“I know a bit about alchemy too.”
William answered straightforwardly.
“I’m self-taught.”
Realizing the boy was just socially awkward, not deliberately rude, Siod felt a mix of amusement and frustration.
“Meeting someone who likes alchemy is fascinating.”
William responded immediately when Siod probed a little.
“Aren’t you a magician? Why would you need to learn alchemy?”
“True.”
William’s face, filled with curiosity, looked more like that of a 14-year-old boy. Siod gave a vague reply.
“I just like unusual things.”
William thought he was odd but accepted it. Typically, alchemy was pursued by those like him, who had a desire for magic but lacked the talent. It extracts magical power from nature, so a talented magician like Siod wouldn’t need to learn it.
It was intriguing to hear that a young, talented magician from the Royal Academy was also skilled in alchemy.
“Speaking of which, it was your birthday recently, right? I was wondering what to give you as a present. If you’re stuck in alchemy, come to me.”
“Actually… I’m stuck on this part.”
‘Already?’
Siod internally regretted the alchemy books he had burned in his disdain. Maybe some dragon out there kept alchemy texts; he should look into it.
After hearing Siod’s explanation, William felt like he had encountered rain in a desert. Though there were alchemy professors at the academy, none could provide such clear answers.
“Exactly how did you study? Even the academy’s alchemy professors didn’t know this.”
“Uh… Self-taught?”
Siod had learned it more out of hostility than interest, as a duty of the dragon race to prevent alchemy from advancing beyond a certain level.
“Can I come to you often for help? Only if you’re not too busy.”
The alchemy he despised was now a means to bond with his son. Siod smiled broadly and nodded.
“Of course. I’ll be staying at the Rodanthe house on weekends. Feel free to visit anytime.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
