A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 131: Practicing Magic

Cari must have been extremely happy that he was able to use magic.

He clearly wanted to do more.

However, Qiong Xing shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.

"Working hard is a good thing. But working too hard is not good. If you only rush forward, things that could go well might stop working. And if you get hurt because of it, then everything becomes meaningless."

Cari said he wanted to do it for Qiong Xing’s sake, but to Qiong Xing, it was also for Cari’s own sake.

He had learned that it was better to be able to defend yourself when needed.

But if Cari ended up getting hurt because of it, then it would defeat the whole purpose.

"Besides," Qiong Xing added softly, "I want to work hard together with Cari. If Cari leaves me behind, I’ll feel lonely."

"No! Cari will do it with Mama!"

Cari quickly shook his head and clung to him tightly.

If Cari secretly practiced somewhere alone and something happened, it would be a big problem.

So when Qiong Xing suggested they work hard together, Cari happily nodded.

After that, which was unusual for Cari, he did not leave Qiong Xing’s side at all.

He kept hugging him tightly.

Qiong Xing did not reject him and gently accepted it, he stayed beside him until he finally fell asleep.

"He was surprisingly energetic," Qiong Xing whispered.

Even while lying down next to Cari, he spoke quietly to Elias.

For reference, Elias was lying in front of him, while Leander was pressed closely against him from behind.

"I told you, didn’t I?" Elias said. "Qiong Xing’s magic power is warm."

"Huh?"

Qiong Xing tilted his head slightly, confused.

What did that have to do with Cari being energetic?

"I can’t explain it clearly either," Elias continued. "But it’s like... how should I say it... it feels like being filled up. Like warmth spreads through your whole body. It just gives you energy."

"...I see? So you’re saying the reason you suddenly became so energetic earlier... was my own fault?"

Elias laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, that’s not it. I’m the one who told you to send the magic to me. But the one who started it all was definitely Qiong Xing."

Qiong Xing had never imagined that it would make that side energetic too.

From Qiong Xing’s point of view, he had only shared some of his magic power normally.

He never thought it would cause something like that to happen.

Judging from Cari and Albe’s reactions, Qiong Xing believed that the aphrodisiac-like effect only worked on Elias or perhaps only on the three who were his mates.

That said, he had no intention of deliberately testing that theory.

"I want Qiong Xing’s magic too."

Leander muttered those words with a sulky tone.

Qiong Xing could only smile wryly.

If nothing happened after giving it, then he would not mind sharing some magic.

But if there was even a chance that Leander would become "energetic" as well, then Qiong Xing could not casually do it.

"If there is a chance someday," Qiong Xing said. "I can’t take care of you tonight."

He lightly tapped the arm wrapped around his waist, but Leander did not seem satisfied.

Instead, the arm around him tightened and Leander bit gently near his neck.

It was only a light bite, so it did not hurt.

However, for someone who was about to sleep, it was ticklish and made it hard to relax.

"It’s unfair if only Elias gets it."

"Hey, that’s enough," Elias said. "Qiong Xing won’t be able to sleep."

"Shut up. You’re the one who already made your move first."

"Hey, hey, don’t fight," Qiong Xing said softly. "Cari will wake up. And Leander, look, I never said I wouldn’t do it. Just wait until the next chance."

Qiong Xing tried to calm Leander down, but Leander still refused to let go as if he could not accept it.

"I’m Qiong Xing’s mate too. I want Qiong Xing as well."

Even if he said that, doing it right now was very difficult.

Even though Qiong Xing’s magic power had no real limit, using it still made him tired.

On top of that, he had already spent time with Elias earlier, so his physical strength was even lower now.

"Hmm... if I remember correctly, Leander has a day off the day after tomorrow, right?" Qiong Xing said after thinking for a moment. "Then let’s do it that day. Would that be okay?"

Obviously, taking a day off from work just because someone wanted to have sex was not something Qiong Xing could allow, nor something he wanted.

So when he suggested the day after tomorrow instead, Leander reluctantly accepted.

At times like this, Qiong Xing felt that having multiple mates could be difficult.

Even if he wanted to treat everyone fairly, there were still the schedules of the others and his own physical limits to consider. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Joa still held back a little because he felt considerate toward the other two, so he did not insist much.

But Leander and Elias whose like to competed with each other, both wanting to keep Qiong Xing all to themselves.

Being loved was a good thing.

But Qiong Xing could not help thinking that making everyone happy at the same time was not an easy task.

After that, while continuing to practice magic with Cari and the others, Qiong Xing helped them learn a certain level of defensive techniques and attack methods.

Of course, they could not use such magic against humans.

So after discussing it with Albe and the others, they decided to combine it with guild requests.

They would practice while hunting monsters and also train during regular hunting trips.

"Hunting monsters really sounds like something adventurers would do," Qiong Xing said.

"...Does it?" Albe replied.

For Albe and the others, it might have been an everyday thing.

But for Qiong Xing, it was something he had only seen in novel or movies.
