You call this the mastermind?

The environment at the edge of the lake is like the sun after the rain, with clear air and sweet fragrance of flowers and plants.

Being here, you can clearly feel the vitality of nature, which makes people feel relaxed unconsciously.

However, at this moment, the red-haired little girl held in the arms of the middle-aged man did not relax at all. Instead, her face was tense and her expression was a little embarrassed.

Not long ago, she was still teaching Melen that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he must adapt quickly.

As a result, she is a little unable to adapt now...

Take off clothes in front of students?

Is this what she should do as a teacher?

Although the previous titles are no longer like what normal master and apprentice should call out, that is not the same as this.

The lady did not speak for a while, but she unconsciously felt a little annoyed with the creator of this storybook.

...

Melen secretly laughed at his "daughter" who was not sincere.

In fact, compared to calling his teacher his daughter, he didn't feel much when he saw this request.

After all, the one in his arms was a little bean, about four or five years old.

At this age, many real fathers in the previous life would help to take a bath, so what's the big deal?

And this is not the teacher's real body, so what if he takes it off? At most, it's just a little girl's coat.

But why there is such a request, it makes him feel very confused.

Because here, the clothes they wear are not real clothes, but just "simulated".

What difference does it make whether to take it off or not?

Is it just a bad taste?

"The purpose of this rule should be to make our spiritual body more open so as to accommodate some things in the lake."

Seems to realize that his stiff expression at the moment is somewhat asymmetrical with his remarks not long ago.

The little girl in Mellen's arms suddenly said: "Taking off clothes is not really taking off clothes, but taking off a layer of defense."

A layer of defense?

Mellen thought about it and nodded with understanding.

In front of others, the feeling of being naked and wearing clothes is indeed different.

Even if this layer of clothes is fake, it can give people great comfort.

"Do you want to go in?"

He then asked, "Or, can we try not to take off clothes first?"

"No, it's actually nothing."

The lady replied, "We are doing serious work, so we should treat it as work."

She had obviously comforted herself with this sentence.

So next, after patting Mellen's arm and signaling him to put her down, she did not even ask Mellen to avoid it, and began to untie the laces on the back of her skirt naturally.

The chubby little face was calm, and her expression was quite calm even though the mountain collapsed in front of her.

Mellen admired her adaptability very much.

But although it seemed that the teacher didn't care about his watching, he still turned around very tactfully, just slightly paying attention to her shadow with the corner of his eyes.

Mrs. Chelsea secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

She was not as calm as she showed in her heart, because as she just said, the act of taking off clothes is not just taking off clothes, but there are more relaxed factors.

That is the act of exposing all your privacy in front of students.

Although this body is fake, this feeling is not much different from taking off clothes.

Being stared at by her own students, she naturally felt awkward and uncomfortable.

However, she had already said the words to educate the other party, and she could not take the initiative to ask Mellen to avoid anything.

Now that he was so tactful, the lady felt relieved, and a smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.

However, she couldn't laugh immediately afterwards.

Because after taking off all the clothes, her originally petite and tender body began to grow slowly!

And the red hair turned to gold very quickly!

"This-"

Mrs. Chelsea was caught off guard by this.

Especially when the student who found something wrong turned his head not far away and looked over, she subconsciously protected her vitals and acted quite panicked.

The atmosphere became ambiguous in an instant.

Staring at the slender and graceful blonde figure not far away, Mellen was stunned.

He didn't expect that taking off clothes here could actually turn people back to their true appearance!

But in comparison, what concerned him more was the glimpse he got before the teacher reacted.

"It's hereditary..."

This thought flashed through his mind involuntarily. After staying for a few seconds, Mellen quickly returned to normal.

"How did you change back?"

When he spoke, he did not avoid his gaze, staring at the tall figure that would amaze any oil painter, and the whole person looked very calm.

This look seemed like Mrs. Chelsea was being coy about something.

But at the same time, this topic involving serious matters also slightly dispelled the embarrassment and awkwardness in her heart.

"You shouldn't encounter such changes when taking off clothes in other places." She pretended to be calm and replied: "This place is very special. We have to pay more attention next time."

As she said this, the lady protected her vitals with her bare hands, turned around and walked towards the lake naturally, and her white and elegant figure was gradually submerged by the lake.

It was just that the lake was very clear, and this action did not have any blocking effect.

But Melen did not look at anything more.

Although it seemed that the teacher did not care about his gaze, it was just an appearance.

If she really did not care, she would not hide it.

And who knows if the other party would be angry if he looked too much?

So he turned his back and began to untie the restraints of his clothes.

This was the condition for passing the level. Although he secretly complained that the creator of this storybook was too frivolous, as a grown man, Melen would not be shy about anything.

He did not realize that when he did this, a pair of green eyes behind him were always watching him intentionally or unintentionally.

When he saw the strong body after returning to its original appearance, his eyes were unconsciously dazed for a moment.

However, this situation seemed to make her feel a little embarrassed, so she pinched her thigh hard.

Then she lowered her eyes, raised her hand to untie the hairnet that bound her long hair, and dived into the depths of the lake with her blonde hair loose.

When Mellen turned back and walked towards the lake, he had lost sight of Mrs. Chelsea.

"Did you go to check the secrets of this lake?"

It was strange that the teacher disappeared without a word, but Mellen didn't think much about it.

He walked into the lake and let the water surface submerge him to his neck, and then he carefully felt everything around him.

As a result, it seemed to be no different from soaking in the water normally?

Mellen was a little confused about this, but soon, he felt a unique attraction approaching the depths of the lake.

But after getting close to a distance, this feeling quickly faded.

Then he began to approach again...

Looking down carefully, he could see that under the water, there was a "blonde mermaid" swimming around in a nimble posture.

And as she was getting closer and farther away from him, that feeling was also intermittently increasing or fading.

Mellen then understood what was going on.

"This kind of strengthening requires the cooperation of the teacher?"

"Or, at least two people need to be close to a certain distance before it can officially start?"

This obviously fits the rule of why it takes at least two people to break through the level.

Indistinctly, Melen even thought of a word.

Dual cultivation?

Unfortunately, the situation is not the same as his idea.

With the sound of breaking the water surface in the lake behind him, the attraction is approaching rapidly.

Until a cold and tender palm is placed on his back, this feeling reaches its peak.

"The strengthening here involves Walter Sharon's spiritual complementarity theory, which requires us to make contact between spiritual bodies."

As the true form is restored, the lady's voice becomes hoarse, "You don't have to do anything, experience it carefully."

Melen nodded silently after hearing this.

Feeling the touch brought by the close contact of skin behind him, it gradually evolved into a strange coldness rushing into the brain area, and Melen began to feel drowsy.

As if he was about to be frozen to death in the extreme cold, he wanted to sleep regardless of anything.

The perception of everything around him was gradually closing...

This seemed to be the beginning of a transformation.

However, unlike what he experienced, what Mrs. Chelsea felt from Mellen behind him was a burning heat.

The situation brought about not only did not make her drowsy like Mellen, but made her already not calm state of mind even more impetuous.

This impetuousness made her bored and her emotions began to fluctuate. Unconsciously, many unpleasant things flashed through her mind.

Until a certain moment, she thought of the mistakes she made to her students last time and the process during that time.

So the inner irritability inexplicably turned into a restlessness, which made her think of everything she experienced and saw in this storybook today.

Even a certain picture that she "accidentally" glimpsed at the bottom of the water.

These seemed to have turned into a pile of dry firewood.

And the continuous heat from Mellen's back was like a continuous stream of flying sparks, swaying in and out of the gaps in the pile of dry firewood.

From time to time, it hit the firewood in order to completely ignite it...
