Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 128 A person who is both incompetent and loves to play games, deserving to die!

Normally, to travel in a city in a summoned or contracted creature of warrior-level quality, one needs to register with the Magic Association and obtain something similar to a 'driver's license'.

But commander-level 'mount' creatures are a different story.

When one's strength, status, and position reach a certain level, these restrictive rules will naturally disappear.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than a constraint on ordinary mages.

At the same time, Mo Fan, who was riding the Swift Star Wolf wildly through the city, sneezed: "Who's thinking about me?"

Moreover, given Lu Ran's current status as an honorary councilor and honorary presiding judge, it is fitting for him to ride a commander-level pseudo-dragon.

When he reached the intermediate level, Lu Ran did not ostentatiously summon the Winged Wolf to show off.

Once you reach a higher level, you'll naturally become more unrestrained and arrogant.

Riding on the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, Lu Ran, with Lingling in tow, landed on a mountain outside Hangzhou in no time and settled in Bai Town.

"Lingling, inform your sister."

"Tch, you have a phone too." Lingling rolled her eyes at Lu Ran, but still obediently went to make a call.

Leng Qing answered the phone quickly. Even though she was busy with official business, she had set the phone to vibrate for special purposes, since there were two people on the line.

The first name is Lu Ran, and the second is naturally her younger sister Lingling.

Lingling gave a brief explanation, and soon Leng Qing's exclamation came from the other end of the phone:

"Lingling? You're in Hangzhou? Are you in Baizhen now? It's dangerous there!"

The cold-blooded man on the other side was terrified. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, startling the judges in the council who were nearby, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

You must know that White Town is the epicenter of the epidemic. If anything were to happen to Lingling...
But Lingling's words effectively shut down Leng Qing's impending outburst:
"Sister, I came with Lu Ran. Please don't scold me. He said to come to him if anything happens!"

Leng Qing was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure:

"Lu Ran? Is he next to you? Quickly give him the phone, I have something important to tell him."

"It's there."

Lingling, with her eyelids twitching and her little red tongue sticking out, handed her phone to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's lips twitched slightly. What's with that gloating look on your face?

Does he think Leng Qing is going to give me a good scolding?

And you know what? Lingling really thought so.

In her memory, her sister was very cold to outsiders. Although she was usually nice to Lu Ran, Lu Ran had lured her to the dangerous city of Hangzhou. Shouldn't she at least scold her?

Lingling even turned on speakerphone so she could hear the jokes.

Seeing this, Lu Ran didn't bother to argue anymore.

So you really want to hear us talk about love?

Then listen to it, but don't let your values ​​collapse later.

"Lu Ran, are you there?" A cold, clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm here."

"I promised you I would help you, and now I'm here," Lu Ran said, glancing at Lingling.

Leng Qing originally wanted to question Lu Ran about why he brought Lingling to Hangzhou to cause trouble.

After all, Hangzhou is in complete chaos right now, and even she, the deputy presiding judge, is extremely busy.

But as soon as Leng Qing heard Lu Ran's voice, her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to be harsh with him.

She also remembered Lu Ran's promise to her in the capital, that he would come to Hangzhou to help her.

"You anticipated this, didn't you? Is it related to that Councilor Luo Mian?" Leng Qing continued.

"Yes, I'll explain this to you in detail later," Lu Ran replied.

"Okay, you and Lingling are in White Town now? White Town is dangerous, so don't wander around. I'm coming to find you now."

"Don't make me worry." Before the words were even finished, the sound of high heels clicking on the other end of the phone could be heard.

And a clear, cold, and authoritative voice:

"I have urgent business to attend to; the meeting is adjourned!"

The call ended abruptly; Leng Qing hung up.

Lu Ran remained silent, but what he really wanted to say was that he could take Lingling to find her.

Because the giant lizard pseudo-dragon couldn't land directly in the city, it chose to land on a nearby mountain, and White Town was the nearest town.

Unexpectedly, Leng Qing was so concerned about their safety.

I don't know if it's because of Lingling or because of myself.
Beside her, Lingling's eyes widened like copper bells, and she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Is this still the serious and dignified older sister I know?
Lu Ran returned the phone to Lingling, sighed softly, and stopped looking at her aggrieved expression.

Lingling's face fell, and she patted Lu Ran's thigh with both hands, saying:
"You, give me back my sister, waah~~"

Lu Ran rolled her eyes. Who told you to insist on listening to our conversation?
Loves both cooking and playing.
Leng Qing acted quickly; she must have flown over directly using the Wings of Wind.

The judges stationed in Baizhen were all drenched in sweat when they saw their superiors flying in.

Could it be that someone else has been infected with the plague?

But they didn't receive the message!
Oh no, this is bad!
But to everyone's surprise, Leng Qing completely ignored them and hurriedly headed towards the entrance to the mountains of Bai Town.

Leng Qing was relieved to finally see Lu Ran.

He then looked at Lingling and, seeing that she was alright, calmed down completely.

Lu Ran took all of this in stride and could understand.

After all, Leng Qing was unaware of the inside story. Nowadays, the general consensus among the higher-ups in Hangzhou is that Baizhen is the source of the plague outbreak, and this area has long been sealed off.

The presence of him and Lingling, two outsiders, here made Leng Qing very nervous, fearing that they might contract the plague if they weren't careful.

"Why didn't you tell me before you came?" Leng Qing said reproachfully.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems it turned into a shock."

Leng Qing remained silent, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh, your aura... You've broken through again?"

As time went on, Lu Ran's cultivation level advanced at an increasingly rapid pace.

He's no longer the young lad who first arrived in Shanghai. Now, Lu Ran's aura is so powerful that even Leng Qing can't see through him.

However, it could be vaguely sensed that Lu Ran's cultivation level had also improved considerably.

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Another lineage has broken through to the advanced level."

Leng Qing's icy face softened into a smile:
"Congratulations."

"Most students can't break through to the advanced level before graduation, but you've already reached the advanced level of the math system. It's really embarrassing."

Leng Qing said sincerely that at Lu Ran's age, she was far inferior to him.

Lu Ran smiled slightly, not dwelling on the matter, and instead changed the subject, saying:

"Do you remember what I told you before, that I knew some secrets about Luo Mian that no one else knew?"

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Leng Qing nodded solemnly.

Lu Ran continued:
"I then secretly investigated further and discovered..."

"The recent epidemic in Hangzhou has nothing to do with the Totem Serpent. Instead, the problem lies with the blood serum controlled by Luo Mian's subordinates. That's the real source!"

Leng Qing was stunned after hearing this.

Lu Ran's words directly solved a problem that had been troubling Hangzhou's top officials for many days.

Leng Qingliu frowned slightly and said in a cold voice:
"If the blood serum really is the problem, then Luo Mian truly deserves to die!"
