Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Alright, stop hiding and come out."

Mo Xie had just spoken when a slight noise came from behind her. Her vision was then obscured by darkness, and she felt a smooth, delicate touch. A cute and playful voice rang in her ears.

"Mo, Xie, little classmate, guess who I am~"

Mo Xie chuckled softly, turned around and embraced the delicate body behind her, burying her head in her hair and inhaling the fragrance.

"Why are you here?"

Ding Yumin leaned against Mo Xie's warm embrace, tilted her head back, and said with a grin.

"Xiaoyu told me when you came, and I wanted to give you a surprise."

"Naughty."

Mo Xie lowered his head and kissed Ding Yumin's forehead, then asked.

"What's going on with the boss?"

"Hehe, I feel that calling you 'boss' sounds awful, 'boss's wife' sounds much better. Anyway, the hotel's current size is all thanks to you, so you should be the boss."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

"Okay, hurry up and put your things away. I'll take you for a walk around the area. I'm telling you, Shanghe Street is completely different now; it's been transformed into an ancient town..."

Ding Yumin returned to her hometown, and her overall mental state seemed to have improved considerably, with a smile on her face at all times.

The two strolled hand in hand through the ancient town of Shanghe, walking among the crowds, stepping on the hard stone slabs, visiting the temples where incense has been passed down through generations, crossing the ancient arched bridges, and passing through the misty rain corridors, feeling the lively atmosphere of the ancient town.

After strolling around for about an hour, the two arrived at a musical fountain square, sat on a bench to rest, drank their milk tea, and looked at everything in front of them. Suddenly, they felt as if they had been transported to another world.

"I never expected that the small town that used to be deserted would now be transformed into an ancient town."

Mo Xie looked at the laughing and chatting people, took a sip of milk tea, and sighed.

"Yes, all of this is thanks to you."

Ding Yumin's long, straight, snow-white legs swung back and forth. When she saw something, she quickly pulled Mo Xie over.

It was a wall woven from bamboo and rattan, with red cards made into heart shapes and densely tied to the bamboo and rattan wall.

People write their thoughts, hopes for the future, or blessings on heart-shaped cards, then tie them to the bamboo and rattan wall, hoping their wishes will come true.

Although this is a common practice in some tourist attractions, and people didn't pay much attention to it, they considered it as leaving their own mark here and also hoped to fulfill their wishes.

Ding Yumin took two heart-shaped cards and a marker, handed one to Mo Xie, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Xie, let's write some too."

"it is good."

Mo Xie looked at the card in her hand, thought for a while, and slowly wrote down a line of words.

Behind every aspect of human nature lies a world of unpredictable changes; may we both become masters of life.

After finishing writing, he smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the card in Ding Yumin's hand, and his expression froze.

To the world I am a nuisance, but to me you are the whole world.

Ding Yumin drew a heart after the line of text, put down the marker, and smiled as she showed it to Mo Xie.

She took the heart-shaped card from the other person's hand, glanced at it, and said with a smile.

"I knew you wanted to write this sentence."

Tie the two cards in her hand to the bamboo and rattan wall, Ding Yumin looked at the cards leaning together with great satisfaction, then turned around and snuggled into Mo Xie's arms.

Seeing this, Mo Xie embraced Ding Yumin's slender waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, closed his eyes, and softly asked, "Is something on your mind?"

"Ah."

Ding Yumin buried her head in Mo Xie's chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said in a muffled voice.

"I had a dream a few days ago, I dreamt that you abandoned me, I..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie released Ding Yumin's waist, gazed into her somewhat uneasy beautiful eyes, and said solemnly.
"Don't overthink it, I will never abandon you, or I will die a horrible death."

The next second, a slender, jade-like finger touched her thin lips. Ding Yumin shook her head and quickly said...

"I don't want you to make a solemn oath. I just want you to stay by my side and not abandon me."

She nestled back into Mo Xie's embrace, her cheek pressed against his chest, listening quietly to the steady beating of his heart. A smile played on her lips as she spoke softly.

“Xiao Xie, you must have planted a seed in my heart in our past life, but I failed to make it bloom and bear fruit. I owe you something.”

"In this life, I planted a seed in your heart, and I successfully met you. Now that seed has sprouted and blossomed. I am so lucky."

“You once said that your deepest longing and ideal is a city in the sky. I want to become the mistress of that city and stay by your side forever.”

Upon hearing these words, Mo Xie's hands, which were wrapped around the waist, trembled slightly, his pupils quivered, and he was slightly lost in thought. A beautiful silver figure gradually appeared in his mind, followed by a faint and ethereal female voice.

【Mo Xie, you once told me that there was a city hanging in the sky. Because I loved you, I instinctively imagined this city as the most beautiful existence in this material world. But I overlooked the fact that even if it hangs in the sky, so what? Doesn't the sky also have dark clouds and unpredictable winds and rain?】

"Moye, what's wrong?"

Ding Yumin's concerned voice pulled Mo Xie back from his reverie. He looked down at the girl in his arms, raised his hand to stroke her smooth and delicate cheek, and said with a smile.

"It's alright, Yu Mian, of course you can be my mistress, I'd be more than happy to do so."

Mo Xie smiled and nodded. In the Sky City that originally belonged only to the silver-haired figure in his mind, another figure appeared, along with several other beautiful figures.

After resting for a while, the two set off again for the back mountain. The lake they had visited before shimmered with a golden luster under the sunlight.

A group of tourists took photos here, or fished on the wooden bridge platform, while children ran and played on the grass.

As for the sunrise viewing spot, there aren't many people there, since it's only crowded in the early morning.

In the evening, after having dinner at Grandma Ye's house, Ding Yumin took Mo Xie on a boat trip to enjoy the ancient town at night.

As night falls, lanterns throughout Shanghe Ancient Town light up, shimmering with a dark red glow. Combined with the lights from shops and decorations, the entire ancient town is illuminated, fully embracing the nightlife.

Even at night, the number of tourists in the ancient town did not decrease, but gradually increased, because the ancient town is more beautiful at this time.

Many people admire the brightly lit ancient town at night, with couples holding hands and families with children playing and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Mo Xie and Ding Yumin sat on the cruise ship, turning their heads to admire the night view of the misty rain corridors on both sides, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

"By the way, Xiao Xie, didn't you say you came here on important business? What is it?"

Ding Yumin leaned her head on Mo Xie's shoulder, then suddenly remembered something, looked at the man beside her, and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie chuckled and explained.

"I plan to film the music video for my new song here."

"MV...what song is that?"

Seeing Ding Yumin's expectant gaze, Mo Xie looked at the ancient town by the river and slowly said.

"Red Dust Inn." (End of Chapter)
