Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 386 Temple of Freedom
Yu Mian's recovery greatly encouraged Xu Shen.

If the power struggle between the Nationalist and Republican governments hadn't continued, he would have loved to stay with Yu Mian and find a secluded place to retreat to for a few years.

Once their divine skills are fully mastered, they will storm the Holy City.

Yu Mian was in charge of indiscriminate killing.

He is responsible for quacking.

The kind that doesn't even blink.

pity……

Feng Li can't sit still anymore; he's been urging me every day.

On a sunny afternoon.

Xu Shen, Yu Mian, and Tang Yue bid each other a reluctant farewell at the airport.

“Speaker Shao Zheng, I’ve already made arrangements. You two can just go directly there. That satellite array was restored with your painstaking efforts, so be tough on the price and don’t be soft-hearted. I’m counting on this job to live comfortably in my old age.”

"it is good."

Yu Mian clung to Xu Shen's arms and refused to come out.

Tang Yue was more mature, and although she was also reluctant to part with them, she simply stood aside and quietly watched the young couple.

Even though it was a sad time of parting, she inexplicably thought of the emerald green straw hat on her forehead, which seemed perfectly fitting for the occasion, and she couldn't help but feel both angry and amused.

"Alright, Yu Mian, I'll head back as soon as the Nationalist government dispute is over. The broadcast has already called, you should go now."

"Oh."

Yu Mian tiptoed and kissed him before reluctantly letting go.

"Teacher Tang Yue, would you like a kiss too?"

"Tsk, I don't want it."

Tang Yue took a few steps back in disgust, then grabbed Yu Mian's hand and said, "Don't worry about leaving your little girlfriend to me. I'll take good care of her and make sure she's healthy and plump. Just be careful."

"it is good."

Xu Shen waved and watched the two leave.

But just as he turned around, a cloud of black mist suddenly gathered in front of him.

The refreshing fragrance, along with the warm, moist touch, pressed against his lips.

Tang Yue tiptoed, grabbed Xu Shen's collar with one hand, and made him lower his head slightly. Her fragrant tongue then slipped between his teeth and probed inside.

Was I... forcibly kissed?
Xu Shen clicked his tongue, not quite reacting yet, when the woman had already left gracefully, leaving only a waving goodbye silhouette.

This is what women who play with fire are like.

They never concern themselves with putting out fires.

His flight to country M was only four hours away, so he didn't plan to go back to the city.

It was still early, so he found a VIP lounge and took out the Condensed Evil Pearl, which was inscribed with half of the array.

For the sake of the demon spirit, he felt it necessary to speed up the progress.

Half an hour later, Shaka also arrived.

Seeing that Xu Shen was busy, she did not disturb him. She quietly sat down to the side and picked out an ancient book that Mo Fan had brought from the Native American people to translate.

Neither of them spoke, yet their interaction was natural and harmonious, showing no sign of estrangement. It wasn't until the broadcast announcement that they realized the long three hours had passed in the blink of an eye.

The two smiled at each other, put away the beads and the ancient book, and boarded the plane hand in hand.

……

New York, one of the world's financial centers.

The Temple of Liberty, the highest magical association in the Americas, is also located here.

Like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, this is a true sanctuary of magic in the world, and the mages who serve here are known as temple mages.

They are revered and admired by the world, and for many monks, becoming a temple monk is the highest ideal of their lives.

But this group of magical elites came up with the idea of ​​forming a federation to resist the invasion of the sea monsters.

Xu Shen felt that these people were probably mentally ill.

It needs treatment, and it needs to be done as soon as possible!
Before the plane even landed, Xu Shen could already see the huge and majestic Statue of Liberty through the window.

Standing tall by the sea, its radiant blue and golden light inspires awe and reverence.

It wasn't until he and Shaka actually set foot on Freedom Island that they truly appreciated the awe-inspiring nature of the building.

She rose abruptly from the ground, making one feel as if an ancient Greek goddess stood there, gazing down upon her people under the light of her freedom with her benevolent, serene, and peaceful gaze. Xu Shen estimated that the size of this building was even more exaggerated than the totem serpent.

"Seeing is believing. I wonder which design genius crammed the Temple of Liberty into this statue."

"He must be a very talented architect."

Saga echoed her words and led Xu Shen into the sightseeing elevator.

This wasn't her first time visiting the Temple of Liberty; she knew quite a bit about it.

As they strolled and chatted, the conversation inexplicably drifted back to the beds in the resort hotel inside the statue...

By the time the fighting stopped, night had fallen.

Xu Shen stretched and took out his phone to tell his teammates that he had arrived in New York.

As a result, the already lively group became even more lively.

Jiang the Fox even made a video call directly.

Xu Shen glanced at Shajia, who was fast asleep on his chest, covered in sweat, and didn't try to hide it.

"You scumbag, you haven't been back for so long, have you been out chasing girls again?"

Despite saying that, her tone was charming and alluring; it sounded more like flirtatious teasing than an accusation.

"Xuxu understands me best."

Xu Shen laughed heartily, then the camera panned to reveal Shaka, whose face was partially obscured by her hair.

Jiang Shaoxu was dumbfounded.

She was just joking, but she never expected that this jerk would actually take it seriously.

What's even worse is that he started sleeping with someone as soon as he arrived in New York.
So, after spending so much time in Peru, didn't that mean...?

Jiang Shaoxu couldn't accept it for a moment. She stared at her phone screen angrily without saying a word. Seeing that Xu Shen was unmoved, she hung up the phone directly.

Xu Shen has no intention of going back to the past.

Having been involved with too many women, his mentality has subtly changed a lot.

He knows he's a jerk.

He never avoided or hid it.

It would be best if she could compromise and adjust her mindset.

He couldn't adjust it, and he didn't have the patience to coax it.

Just as Jiang Shaoxu hung up, Ai Jiangtu called.

After serving as acting captain for almost a month, Lao Ai recounted in detail the movements of the National Team during this period to Xu Shen.

"So, you have no confidence in the M country team's national emblem?"

"To date, their record of defending the venue is undefeated."

"So what?" Xu Shen said, "Old Ai, our team is aiming for the world's number one spot. How can a mere second-rate team from the US stump you?"

"I just felt that it would be safer if you were there."

Xu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Old Ai, do you remember when we first met? Although it was a bit unpleasant, I still admired your unrestrained and arrogant attitude. Where did that spirit of yours go?"

"I……"

"Alright, don't worry too much. So what if we don't get this badge? It's not like the sky is falling. If we're well-prepared, let's challenge them to a duel tomorrow. They've been calling us cowards for avoiding battle these past few days."

"You mean you don't plan to participate in the war?"

"Old Ai, don't underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are actually very strong. I don't think a mere second-rate team from the US can be a match for you. Just go all out and do it."

Xu Shen sighed after hanging up the phone.

Although the memories of my previous life are vague.

But how could he not know about the momentous event of the Shenzhou National Team winning first place, an event that shook the entire nation?

With MVP player Mo Fan and National Team captain Ai Jiangtu both present, what could he possibly worry about?

So, while in Peru, he repeatedly told Lao Ai and the others not to wait for him and to just get things done.

However, as time went on, the team seemed to become increasingly reliant on him.

So much so that even a second-rate team guarding the museum could make them hesitate and not move forward.

This is not a good thing.
