Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Chapter 49: Mu Ningxue likes Cheng Xiao? Do you want to eat dog food?
The team agreed to kill their way straight through the tunnel.

Zheng Bingxiao summoned his own summoned beast, the Rock Demon, to lead the way.

The Rock Demon's speed is very slow among its peers, but he has thick skin and strong defense.

Of course, due to its tall size, it can only be used as a bulldozer in this situation.
Secondly, the two wind mages, Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao, will be the vanguard and can retreat in the shortest time possible.

In the middle are three light mages acting as light bulbs, dispelling the darkness around them.

The two captains, Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue, were at the back, and could respond to any situation.
"After our sparring session, I asked someone about your situation in Bo City," Mu Ningxue said in a low voice.

"What? Are you investigating me secretly?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"No, I'm just curious about what you've been through to become so powerful in just a few years." Mu Ningxue explained.

"To be honest, I don't really believe it myself. If I have to say something, I'm just lucky." Cheng Xiao obviously didn't want to reveal too much.

Lucky Mu Ningxue was envious when she heard the word.

She awakened to magic at the age of fourteen and has been practicing for six years so far.

His cultivation has now reached the late intermediate stage, but despite this, he still lost to Cheng Xiao.

Lost to Cheng Xiao, who had failed to awaken before.

Although she would be happy for Cheng Xiao, her childhood playmate, it was impossible to say that she didn't care at all.
Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a series of strange screams.

Not far ahead of the team, many hunchbacked monsters armed with bone sticks attacked.

"It's a cave demon slave!" Jingjing could tell what species this demon was at a glance.

The cave demon slave is only slightly larger than a normal human, has abnormally strong arms, and likes to smash living things to death with bone clubs.

"Ice lock."

Just as Mu Ningxue was about to make a move, Cheng Xiao stopped her:
"give it to me."

Mu Ningxue looked at him in confusion, but did not ask any further questions.

Cheng Xiao released sixteen shadow one-eyed wolf soldiers to escort the team!

These sixteen shadow one-eyed wolf soldiers have been accompanying Cheng Xiao in his battles from Bo City to the present.

Cheng Xiao could feel that they were about to be promoted to the general level, and they could use this experience to their advantage.
"Sixteen? Six more than in the previous competition. Didn't he really use his full strength?" Liao Mingxuan couldn't help but say.

"Not only did you not use your full strength, our captain even let you go." Zhao Manyan said with a smile:

"You know, when we entered the main campus for the assessment, the captain released a hundred undead spirits, which beat a thousand mid-level mages up and down!"

"One hundred?"

The people at the Imperial Capital Academy obviously didn't believe it. It was simply impossible.

But when they saw the people from Mingzhu Academy looking at them as if they were fools, the exchange students from the Imperial Capital became shaken again.

Can't it be true?

But how could someone release a hundred undead in an intermediate realm?

Even for a high-level necromancer it would be difficult, right?

"Is what they said true?" Mu Ningxue couldn't believe it and asked Cheng Xiao beside her for confirmation.

"Yes." Cheng Xiao nodded with a smile.

Mu Ningxue recalled the questions she had asked Cheng Xiao during their previous sparring match.

She asked Cheng Xiao if the strength he showed was all he could do, and Cheng Xiao replied that it was just barely enough.

Now, she completely understood.

It was barely possible because the two strongest warriors were summoned.

As for the remaining ninety undead that have not been thrown out, it is to give face to the Imperial Capital Academy!
Mu Ningxue's pride was hit again. She stared at Cheng Xiao and spoke quietly:
"You are a monster!"

"How can you curse at me?" Cheng Xiao secretly rejoiced. It was quite interesting to see this favored girl breaking down.

Naturally, their conversation was noticed by their teammates.

Although we were at a distance, I couldn't hear the details of what they were talking about.

But just from the expressions of the two of them, it looked like they were flirting.

These two captains just had a sparring match a few days ago, how come they suddenly became so familiar with each other?

"Why is our captain chatting so happily with the captain of the capital's exchange student team? Could it be that they have become friends in just a few days?" Zheng Bingxiao couldn't help but ask.

“I’ve heard before that the captain is very charming and the girls around him all come up to him. Now it seems that the captain is really good.” Zhao Manyan also started gossiping.

"Don't make random guesses. Brother Cheng and Ning Xue have known each other since childhood." Mo Fan came out to explain.

"."

Mu Nujiao was walking in the middle of the team. When she heard the news about Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue flirting, she felt extremely upset.

No matter what, she is Cheng Xiao's woman. Now she is like a victim. She doesn't know how to explain it and can only hold it in.

After hearing Mo Fan's explanation, I felt better.
The gossip about the Imperial Capital Academy is different.

"I think it was the captain who took the initiative to talk to Cheng Xiao. What do you think? Could it be that the captain has fallen in love with Cheng Xiao?"

"This is very likely. The captain usually looks cold and aloof, but in fact he is just not familiar with us."

"It is said that women admire strong men. Now it seems to be true. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the captain turned his love into hatred."

When Lu Zhenghe heard the rumors from his teammates, his face began to twitch.

Ever since Lu Zhenghe entered the Imperial Capital Academy, he has been secretly in love with Mu Ningxue.

Even though Mu Ningxue ignored Lu Zhenghe, the latter already regarded Mu Ningxue as his own.

Now hearing the rumors about his teammates, Lu Zhenghe feels worse than being cheated on!

Lu Zhenghe's face gradually darkened, and he thought to himself:
"Cheng Xiao, right? You've offended me time and again, and you even want to snatch Ning Xue away. You really deserve to die. I will make you pay the price!"

..............................

With Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers escorting them, everyone passed through the tunnel smoothly without any casualties.

Everyone looked for a water source near the railroad tracks to check if there were any demons nearby.

After confirming it is safe, we started to set up the tent.
Mu Nujiao found Cheng Xiao and asked:
"You and Mu Ningxue knew each other when you were little?"

"Well, we had a good relationship when we were young." Cheng Xiao saw through her little thoughts and couldn't help laughing:
"Jealous?"

"No, I'm not that stingy. I just don't want to hide our relationship like we do now." Mu Nujiao said in a low voice.

"I didn't intend to hide it. It's just that you've been shy and hiding it." Cheng Xiao looked helpless.

Mu Nujiao couldn't refute it. It was indeed because she was too cowardly that her relationship with Cheng Xiao became so strained.

"I, I don't want to hide it anymore." Mu Nujiao said.

"Then should I announce it?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Mu Nujiao looked puzzled, and after a slight hesitation, she nodded.

At this time, Zhao Manyan came over and asked:

"Captain, when is dinner?"

"Food?" Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to eat dog food?"

"What?"

Zhao Manyan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Then I saw Cheng Xiao holding Mu Nujiao's face and kissing her.
