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

Chapter 207 Suppressing the Parthenon Envoy, in broad daylight? It's clearly night!
Glocken and Dicaius never expected this.

The late-arriving Deputy Chief Judge of Shanghai, Leng Qing, turned out to be one of Lu Ran's people.

Otherwise, why would she obey Lu Ran's every word?
Judging from their intimate behavior, their relationship is clearly special!
Seeing Leng Qing's straightforwardness, Lu Ran blinked and said:
"Aren't you going to try to persuade me?"

Leng Qing tossed her hair and laughed heartily, saying:

"If it were anyone else, I, as the newly appointed deputy presiding judge, would probably have to give them some advice for the sake of the bigger picture."

"However, if the target is you, even if Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Tang Yue all came together, I'm afraid they still wouldn't be able to persuade this stubborn mule like you, would they?"

"You are Lu Ran. Once you've made a decision, I doubt anyone can easily change it, right?"

Lu Ran shrugged and smiled:
"You still understand me."

Then, Lu Ran turned his gaze to Glocken and Dicaius, and said:

"You two kidnapped Xinxia in Shanghai and then tried to attack me with super-level magic at the airport. I'm afraid the Sage of Parthenon will have to come and apologize for this debt in person!"

"You can all take a good rest in the Tribunal for the next few days!"

After Lu Ran finished speaking in a cold voice, he left with Xin Xia.

Glocken and Dicaius were personally escorted into the Tribunal's prison by Leng Qing, the Vice Chief Judge!
Given Lu Ran's status in Kyushu and his legitimate cause, even if there were people who wanted to curry favor with Parthenon, it would be difficult to easily release Glocken and the others.

This incident instantly attracted international attention.

Parthenon's men went to China to kidnap people, but ended up being imprisoned themselves?

Lu Ran Villa.

Ye Xinxia remained silent throughout the journey, her mood somewhat downcast.

By reading her mind, Lu Ran knew that she felt guilty.

It was definitely because of her that the conflict between Lu Ran and the Parthenon envoy escalated.

But in reality, Lu Ran didn't take it to heart at all, and immediately comforted him:

“Xinxia, ​​there’s no need for that. Those two from Parthenon clearly know who I am. Under these circumstances, they still tried to forcibly take you away. This is an act of contempt for me and disregard for my dignity.”

"In that case, I don't want their lives, but a little punishment is still possible."

Ye Xinxia nodded, her complexion improving considerably.

Lu Ran spoke again:
"Xinxia, ​​putting aside the offense of those two Parthenonian envoys today, do you yourself have any intention of going to the Parthenon?"

"If you don't want to, just say so. No one can force you."

Upon hearing this, Xinxia didn't hesitate much, her voice barely audible:
“Brother Lu Ran, I don’t actually object to Parthenon’s invitation. I just can’t accept their attempt to forcibly abduct me.”

"I originally wanted to communicate with them properly, but that super-level mage was too aggressive and wouldn't listen to me at all."

Now the truth is out!

Instead of reasoning properly, he insisted on using his power and status to forcibly abduct Xinxia, ​​ultimately ending up in jail himself.

These two messengers from Parthenon have truly disgraced Parthenon!
Lu Ran listened, but didn't express agreement or disagreement. Instead, he calmly asked:

"Do you really want to go to Parthenon? Actually, staying in the country, within my sphere of influence, you can still rise smoothly."

Lu Ran knew that Xin Xia would most likely refuse, so he quietly waited for her answer.

Xin Xia hesitated for a few seconds, then clenched her delicate hands and nodded, saying:

"Parthenon is the holy land of white mages. It not only has unique blessing magic, but also the best teaching for healing mages. These are things that Pearl Academy cannot provide."

“Brother Lu Ran, it’s because Xin Xia is useless. Despite using so many of your resources, she still hasn’t broken through to the advanced stage. Her cultivation has been far surpassed by Sister Mu and Ning Xue, and she can’t travel with you to various countries around the world.” “So, I want to go to Parthenon, firstly to learn healing techniques, and secondly to improve myself!”

"I hope that when we meet again, I can be someone who can help Brother Lu Ran!"

After listening quietly to these words, Lu Ran sighed.

He knew that Ye Xinxia would feel resentful if they couldn't go to the World University Competition together, even if she didn't say it.

They are all of the same generation, yet he, Mu Ningxue, and Mu Nujiao all went to the university competition, while Ye Xinxia could only stay in the country. Anyone would be annoyed by this, right?
Now that she has the opportunity to visit the Parthenon, Xinxia still has high hopes.

Therefore, she did not want to miss this opportunity to grow.

“Xinxia, ​​don’t underestimate yourself. A mage’s improvement in cultivation level is inseparable from actual combat, but you are, after all, a healing mage, which is why you are a little slower than Nujiao and the others.”

"Since you want to study at Parthenon, then go for it!"

"However, if Parthenon wanted to take you away, he shouldn't have done it this way—by abducting you without my knowledge!"

"You are my woman, and I will have the Sage of Parthenon personally escort you to my court in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men!"

Ye Xinxia was moved to tears; she was so excited that her brother Lu Ran understood her.

She thought she would be kept like a caged bird by Lu Ran forever.

Ye Xinxia nestled in Lu Ran's arms and murmured:
“Brother Lu Ran, I’ve heard that Parthenon’s blessing magic is very special and can temporarily amplify the power of magic for a mage.”

"If I break through to a higher level in Parthenon, I wonder if there's any hope of awakening the Blessing type?"

Lu Ran smiled and said:

"Xinxia, ​​do you want to awaken the Blessing type?"

Ye Xinxia nodded, saying with a hint of resentment, "Yeah, Brother Lu Ran is too strong. You haven't been injured in a long time, and my healing abilities haven't been used in front of you for ages~"

"If I awaken the Blessing type, then I can amplify the power of Lu Ran's magic, and then we can fight together!"

Lu Ran laughed heartily upon hearing this:
"Okay, then I'll look forward to it. Xinxia, ​​you'll definitely awaken the Blessing type. Then we'll fight together as husband and wife!"

Xinxia blushed slightly upon hearing this and murmured, "What husband and wife? Brother Lu Ran is talking nonsense again, really."

Lu Ran's eyes darted around, and he suddenly laughed:

"Xinxia, ​​didn't you say you hadn't shown me your healing skills in a long time?"

"Then today, let's have a good fight and see if you can hurt me, or wear me out~~"

"Won't your healing abilities come in handy then?"

Seeing Lu Ran's smirking face, Ye Xinxia seemed to realize something, and her legs trembled involuntarily.

"Brother Lu Ran, it's still broad daylight, how about we wait until night?"

"In broad daylight?"

"Xinxia, ​​you must be mistaken. Did you cry so much because you missed me so much? It's already night now."

Lu Ran snapped his fingers, and the room was instantly enveloped in darkness ruled by Si Ye.

"Hmm~!"

The night was long, and the sounds of groans lingered.
