Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Tang Yue almost instinctively wanted to cover his mouth.

But the moment she turned to the side, Fu Ye kissed her lips.

One minute.

three minutes.

ten minutes.

A quarter of an hour.

Tang Yue felt as if her soul had been sucked away by Fu Ye.

She was breathing in the fresh air as the deep kiss ended.

"The Holy Tribunal, the Parthenon, the Forbidden City, the Holy City—these organizations had already taken shape in that era. They possessed the most complete magical heritage, began to systematically train magicians, establish order, and divide spheres of influence."

"As totem beasts rose to prominence in these organizations, they were gradually marginalized."

Tang Yue felt a chill. Although she knew of the existence of totem beasts, she did not know that their destruction was actually caused by magicians.

"The third era, the ancient era, was a human war that lasted for nearly a thousand years."

"The rise of magical organizations brought power, but also ambition. Various forces engaged in a chaotic war that lasted for nearly a thousand years in order to compete for resources, territories, and magical inheritance."

"It was a catastrophe. Magic was used to kill each other, countless cities were reduced to ruins, and countless lives were lost. In this chaos, the totem beasts were in an even more difficult situation—some were recruited by powerful magical organizations as fighting tools, some were hunted down and their totem power was taken, and some chose to live in seclusion and stay away from humans completely."

Fu Ye looked at Tang Yue's struggling expression and spoke.

"You should have seen some investigation reports on ancient ruins in the Tribunal. Those ruins often contain huge skeletons, not of demons, but of totem beasts. Most of them died in that era."

"Are those all totem beasts?"

"That's right. At least the largest skeleton should be the remains of a totem beast. Nowadays, the number of totem beasts existing in China can be counted on one hand."

"And now? The fourth era, our current era?"

Fu Ye buried his face in Tang Yue's arms, his eyes filled with smugness.

"In this magical age, the ancient wars ended with the rise of the Holy City. The establishment of the Magic Association regulated the behavior of magicians, and the structure of the Magic Associations of the five continents gradually took shape. Humanity temporarily stopped its internal strife and began to unite against demons. However, totem beasts have almost become extinct."

"The surviving totem beasts either hide in human cities like the Xuan Snake, forming secret contracts with guardian families, or they hide in remote and desolate places, no longer interacting with humans. The higher-ups of the Magic Association have a complicated attitude towards totem beasts; they want to use their power, but they are also wary of the threat they pose."

"That's why Councilor Luo Mian wanted to target the Black Serpent."

Tang Yue murmured.

"Not just Luo Mian."

"The existence of totem beasts is itself a challenge to the existing magic system. Their power does not come from stars or magic systems, but from the more ancient and primal power of totems. Some magicians believe that studying totem beasts is the key to finding a new way out for magic, while others believe that totem beasts are a hidden danger that must be eliminated."

Tang Yue felt a sense of powerlessness. She had been taught since childhood to protect the Xuan Snake, but she had never truly understood the weight behind this protection.

"Why are you telling me this? These things aren't even fully recorded in the court's confidential files."

Although she was shocked, Tang Yue knew very well that Fu Ye had no reason to deceive her.

"Because the black serpent's molting period is approaching."

"Some people want to take advantage of the Black Serpent's weakened state to kill it and seize the totem power within it for their own use."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue's face turned pale.

Does your uncle know about this?

"Tang Zhong knows some of it, but he is powerless to do anything about it. After all, he is just a presiding judge and needs to follow the unified command of the H State Magic Association."

Fu Ye's fingers gently caressed Tang Yue's waist.

"Therefore, he made the most rational choice."

As if to confirm his words, Tang Yue's phone rang. The caller ID showed "Uncle".

Seeing her phone light up, Tang Yue lay on the bed and tried to hold it in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Fu Ye's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Tang Yue blushed and said, "Um, you can't move around when I'm on the phone."

"Hehe, don't worry, I definitely won't move around."

She answered the phone, and Tang Zhong's voice came through the receiver, serious and urgent.

"Xiaoyue, return to the court immediately. The highest resolution has been passed, and Xuanshe must leave Hangzhou temporarily."

"Why? Where to?"

Tang Yue asked anxiously.

But at this moment, Fu Ye started causing trouble.

"Yeah~~~~"

Tang Yue's sweet cry startled Tang Zhong on the other end of the phone.

"Ahem, Xiaoyue, where are you...?"

"it's me."

Upon hearing Fu Ye's voice, Tang Zhong's face instantly darkened.

Although he had known for a long time that Fu Ye and his niece had a good relationship, he never expected that they would actually...
"Ahem, take the Xuan Snake to Tianshan. There is an ancient ice and snow barrier there that can conceal the Xuan Snake's aura and accelerate its molting process."

The call ended. Tang Yue held the phone, steam rising from her head.

"You're hopeless!"

She lay sprawled on the bed, as if she had lost all her strength.

"Tsk, women love bad boys. By the way, when are you planning to move the Xuan Snake to Tianshan?"

Hearing Fu Ye's words, Tang Yue rolled her eyes at him, speechless.

"Of course, the sooner the better, but I don't know if you, you rascal, are willing to stop for the time being."

Fu Ye lay on Tang Yue's body, her broad chest making her feel incredibly secure.

He nodded, and then a shimmering white magical constellation appeared in his palm.

The next second, a loud noise came from the direction of West Lake.

Upon sensing this situation, Tang Yue almost instinctively wanted to stand up.

However, Fu Ye's suppression made it impossible for her to muster any strength.

"Alright, I have sent the totem serpent to the Tianshan Mountains. Your task now is to accept my guidance and tests."

Hearing Fu Ye's words, Tang Yue finally understood what had caused the commotion earlier.

"Ugh, you're really going too far. You know perfectly well that doing this will embarrass me."

Feeling Fu Ye's actions, Tang Yue's cheeks flushed even more.

"Tsk, your little temple can't contain my great Buddha, so I can only humble myself and help you to keep expanding it."

"By the way, when will you break through to the Super Rank? I heard that mages' physical attributes are greatly improved after reaching the Super Rank. I'm quite curious whether you can accommodate me after you break through to the High Rank mage."

"You scoundrel, if you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me." (End of Chapter)
