Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 5 Three Months, Qingning Arrives
Under the arrangement of Tsar Azir, everything in the Sahara Demon Empire is proceeding normally.

Some of the demon tribes took the initiative to attack neighboring countries. Azir did not stop them because he knew that the fight between demons and humans was inevitable in this world.

He will not take the initiative to attack human areas, and of course he will not control his demon subordinates too much.

Moreover, he did not have the energy to do so at the moment. After a few days of preparation, he had decided to attack the Arabian Peninsula.

Compared with the clone, the life of the original Qin Xiaonan seems dull and ordinary.

He attended classes and practiced every day, his life was monotonous and regular. Although he worked hard to improve his cultivation star, his progress was always slow due to lack of resources and insufficient mental strength.

His original talent was not bad, but in this world, before reaching a high level, talent was not that important, and resources were the key to determining the speed of cultivation.

In this way, time passed quietly, and more than three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Qin Xiaonan attended classes at school as usual. After the class, he packed up his things and prepared to go home to rest.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow across the campus path. As Qin Xiaonan walked, he pondered his understanding of the stars. Now, let alone casting magic, he hadn't even gathered the seven stars needed to form a star track.

However, just as he walked to a secluded path, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Qin Xiaonan was slightly startled, and when he looked up, he saw a woman standing in front of him. She had a graceful figure and a pretty face, especially her eyes, which were slightly charming.

The most striking thing is that there is a faint circular mark on her forehead, like a miniature bright moon, emitting a faint light.

"Excuse me, are you Qin Xiaonan?" the woman asked in a clear and pleasant voice.

Qin Xiaonan raised his head and looked at the other person. Although his original body had low magic power and could not sense the other person's breath like his clone, he and his clone had a special connection and could share vision and memory.

Coupled with the yellow sand mark left by the clone on the other party, Qin Xiaonan recognized her identity almost instantly. It was the fox demon Qingning.

Qing Ning was very cautious and smart along the way. Tsar Azir only told her the approximate location and Qin Xiaonan's specific appearance. For her as a demon, it was not easy to find the location in a short time.

She made perfect use of her talent, transforming into a human form and obtaining a lot of useful information.

He was completely focused on getting on his way, trying to control himself and not waste too much time on the road. When he encountered a large city blocking his way, he transformed into a human form and quickly passed through.

When passing through areas with demons, he did not reveal his cultivation level, but just moved forward quietly.

She was the first to arrive in Bo.

"Qingning? You're here?" Qin Xiaonan smiled slightly, his tone calm and composed.

Although he knew that the woman in front of him was a monarch-level demon whose strength far exceeded his own, he did not show any fear or panic.

After all, his clone Azir had come into contact with Qingning and, to a certain extent, controlled her fate. Therefore, Qin Xiaonan was not afraid of the fox demon Qingning.

When Qing Ning heard Qin Xiaonan call out her name, her heart was immediately filled with shock. She could clearly sense that the boy before her was just an ordinary person with low magical power, not much different from any other human.

However, she was shocked to see him recognize her immediately. She immediately realized that Qin Xiaonan was more than he seemed. Furthermore, he was able to communicate with Lord Azir, and thus knew her identity.

Thinking of this, Qing Ning immediately put away her laziness and became respectful. She bowed her head slightly, her tone tinged with humility, "Yes, I am Qing Ning. I have come to assist you by the Lord's command."

Qin Xiaonan nodded, his expression remaining calm. He wasn't surprised by Qingning's change of attitude; instead, he felt it was all reasonable.

After all, Azir's majesty and power are enough to make any demon bow down to him.

"The master has told you the mission, right?" Qin Xiaonan asked with a hint of temptation in his tone.

"Yes." Qing Ning answered respectfully, "My master ordered me to hand over these magic tools to you and protect your safety." As she spoke, she took out an exquisite cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Qin Xiaonan with both hands.

Qin Xiaonan took the cloth bag and opened it. Inside was more than a dozen magical tools emitting a faint glow.

Among them are armor, weapons, star magic tools and even a set of wing magic tools.

Qin Xiaonan was excited. He knew that with the help of the star magic tools, the speed at which he could cultivate his magic power would definitely be greatly improved, and these magic tools also had their uses.

"Thank you." Qin Xiaonan put the cloth bag away.

Qing Ning shook his head slightly and said, "This is the master's order, you don't have to be polite. From now on, I will stay by your side to ensure your safety. If you need anything, just let me know."

Qin Xiaonan nodded. With a monarch-level demon like the fox demon Qingning by his side, his safety would be greatly guaranteed. At the same time, these cultivation resources would also make his cultivation path smoother.

"In that case, I'll trouble you." Qin Xiaonan said. He did not tell Qingning about his relationship with Azir and maintained a certain respect for her.

Qing Ning nodded slightly, a sign of obedience. Her attitude was respectful and cautious. She had already decided to resolutely carry out the task assigned by Azir and do her utmost to protect Qin Xiaonan's safety.

After confirming that there was no one else nearby, Qingning no longer maintained his human form.

Her body flashed slightly, and then she turned into a small and exquisite fennec fox, lightly jumping onto Qin Xiaonan's shoulder.

Her fur was soft and smooth, a light sandy yellow, very similar to the color of the desert. Her ears were large and sensitive, trembling slightly, and her bright eyes sparkled with intelligence.

If it was Tsar Azir standing before her right now, Qingning would never have dared to act so casually. In front of Azir, she had to remain absolutely respectful and cautious, not daring to overstep her bounds.

However, in front of Qin Xiaonan, she seemed much more relaxed.

Although Qingning, a demon, could transform into a human form, she always preferred to appear in fox form. For her, the fox form felt more natural and comfortable. She would only reluctantly transform into human form when necessary to enter human territory, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Qing Ning's arrival not only brought Qin Xiaonan cultivation resources, but also gave him an unprecedented sense of security. With her protection, his situation in Bo City would be greatly improved, and he would have the confidence to do something.
