"you!"

Zu Jiming was trembling with anger; he hadn't expected Nan Jue to take things so seriously.

Nan Rongni, her eyes red, said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just too scared. You know, I'm just a healing mage... Are you injured? I'll heal you."

A pure, milky white appeared on her fingertips, like light and water, radiating a unique luster.

Under the soothing light, Nan Jue and Jiang Yu's wounds healed rapidly.

"Tch, green tea!"

Lingling scoffed at this behavior. She, Leng Lingling, wasn't even a healing mage. Wasn't she just wildly killing people with Xu Fang?

From the moment Lingling first saw Nan Rongni, she was not attracted to this woman with her affected, high-pitched voice.

Apart from Xu Fang, all green tea is bad!

Xu Fang did not join in condemning the two deserters; his expression was serious.

The little will-o'-the-wisps sent a signal; they had found Professor Zou.

But there were no pink pufferfish around Professor Zou!

Chapter 167 The Hunter's Round Has Just Begun!

When the group found Professor Zou, he was sitting on a half-buried bush, clutching his hair with both hands.

"I'm stupid, really."

Professor Zou raised his lifeless eyes:

"I only knew to use mind magic to exorcise demons, but I forgot that the pink pufferfish was also a demon."

My minor is only in water magic, which is completely useless against water spirits. The pink pufferfish is always very obedient and listens to everything I say.

Before, when faced with danger, I wouldn't go anywhere, but this time... when I came to my senses, the pink pufferfish was gone.

Seeing Professor Zou so remorseful, no one could bring themselves to criticize him.

Not every university is a pearl in the capital.

Not every university professor starts at a high level.

Professor Zou is just a professor of demonology; he practices magic in order to communicate with demons.

Faced with the attack of the demon race, the Ripple of the Mind was his only means of protecting himself.

The pink pufferfish, also affected by the banished mind magic, chose to leave.

“There’s another dam downstream; there might be military mages who can stop them,” Xu Fang said.

Each pink pufferfish was equipped with a monster-detecting device, and the group rushed to the last dam without delay.

However, to their dismay, the dam failed to stop the demon, and the pink pufferfish had already flowed downstream.

"Why didn't you intercept them?" Zujimin questioned.

"This is an order from above. I have no obligation to explain it to you. Please do not obstruct us from performing our duties!" the military magistrate said meticulously.

The reason for not intercepting them is not because they are incompetent or corrupt, nor is it because there is a mole within their ranks.

The Lancang River, or Mekong River, is a river that flows through multiple countries and has always been controversial.

Especially after China built eight dams to resist wave after wave of demonic invasions, discontent grew louder and louder.

"Over the years, Southeast Asian countries have protested repeatedly, claiming that our dam has caused them to be plagued by demons and that their people are suffering."

Nan Jue seemed to know a bit about this and explained it to everyone.

Jiang Yu asked, puzzled, "What business is it of theirs if we're just doing our own thing?"

"They believe that the powerful demons that originally wanted to attack China will be blocked by the dam and will turn around and cause trouble in their territory."

Nan Jue said, "Moreover, there is a serious conflict between ordinary people and mages. Many people are having trouble making a living. Throwing the conflict onto us is a good option."

"That's utterly absurd!" Jiang Yu said indignantly.

Xu Fang asked, "So, it's unlikely that negotiations through official channels will succeed, right?"

“That’s right.” Nan Jue nodded helplessly: “Fortunately, there are several other groups of Pink Pufferfish, led by high-ranking military commanders, who are foolproof, even though our mission failed…”

"Who said it failed?"

Xu Fang interrupted her: "The military mage has exhausted all his tricks, but the hunter's turn has only just begun. What do you say, Lingling?"

Lingling revealed a cute smile, but her words were terrifying: "I've been prepared all along. Anyone who dares to touch my fish, I'll smash their dog head in!"

······

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Wherever there is a world of martial arts, there is conflict, and there is a hidden side in the shadows.

In most places, the darkness has been driven out by the light and has nowhere to hide.

But in some places, the towering blackness reigns supreme over everything else.

Colt is such a place, adjacent to the Lancang River and located at the junction of three countries.

Some call it the City of Angels, while others call it the City of Chaos. Walking through the streets, you can see people of all skin colors and races.

There are also many tourists from all over the world, including many young people who come to explore.

"Brother, this place is so big!"

Lingling linked arms with Xu Fang and smiled sweetly. Her cute and innocent appearance would make anyone who saw her fall in love with her.

Xu Fang, wearing a flashy T-shirt and sunglasses, was chatting with a pretty girl, making her giggle.

"Brother, look over there!"

"Wow, it's so beautiful! Brother, buy it for me!"

"elder brother···"

"It's so noisy!" Xu Fang picked at his ear and said impatiently, "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"That's not very gentlemanly of you," the girl who was being approached laughed.

"I wasn't planning on bringing her, but she cried and insisted on coming along... Hey, she even glared at me. Watch out or I'll leave you here!"

"Hehehe, I'm not afraid at all! I'll go with the pretty lady!"

Lingling ran up to the girl and grabbed her leg.

The girl was overwhelmed with maternal instincts when hugged by such a quirky little girl.

Meanwhile, a well-dressed young man chimed in, "That's right, little sister, come with us! Big brother will take you to stay in a big villa, and tomorrow we'll even take you on an adventure!"

"Really?" Lingling's cheeks flushed.

"Lingling, don't cause them any trouble." Xu Fang feigned embarrassment: "Brother has already booked the hotel, let's go now!"

Du Zuxing laughed. He had disliked Xu Fang ever since, even though Xu Fang had actually tried to flirt with the woman Xu Fang had his eye on.

Now it seems he's nothing more than a penniless pretty boy. What can he possibly use to compete with me?

Thinking of this, he generously said, "When you're out having fun, don't be afraid to spend money, especially for such a cute little girl. How can you let her stay in a shoddy hotel?"

You're definitely going to be the supporting character!

The matter was settled. Despite Xu Fang's repeated refusals, he eventually got into their RV after being warmly invited by Du Zuxing and the others, and with Lingling's coquettish pleading.

On the way, Xu Fang learned that these people were all Chinese students studying abroad, who were getting together during the long holiday.

The invitation was extended by Du Zuxing, whose family is said to have considerable influence in the immigrant city and who is known for his extravagant spending.

The RV stopped in a villa area that was in a slightly remote location. The villa was only three stories high, but each floor had a large area and the architectural style was standard Thai.

The villa had a swimming pool and a lawn garden in front of it, which left the group of people who came with them speechless.

"My God, this is so luxurious!"

"Auntie, are you serious?"

"What 'A-Zu'? You should call him Xing-Ge!"

Du Zuxing was quite pleased with the praise from the crowd and waved his hand generously: "This is nothing, I'll arrange something even more interesting for you tonight!"

"What is it?" a boy asked with a sly smile. "Hehe, could it be..."

"What are you thinking, kid? There are girls in our team!" Du Zuxing chuckled, noticing the girls' approving looks, and mentally gave his wingman a thumbs up.

"Tonight, I'll show you a battle between mages!"

"A battle between mages?"

Everyone was taken aback. Someone questioned, "How is that possible? Doesn't the Magic Association forbid mages from fighting each other?"

"The Magic Association is worthless; it's useless in Colt City!"

Du Zuxing scoffed, "As for the sorcerers? Ha, they're just a bunch of brutes shouting for battle. They're nothing but money and power!"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Du Zuxing's words sounded like a young punk bragging that all graduates from top universities were just his employees.

······

After moving into the villa and confirming that there were no surveillance cameras, Lingling's innocent and cute expression vanished, replaced by her usual old-fashioned demeanor.

"According to the tracking coordinates, the pink pufferfish is currently on the riverbank of Colt City, but that area is strictly sealed off, and we must think of a way to sneak in. These people are simple-minded and are a good decoy."

Xu Fang nodded.

Their identities are sensitive, and it's unrealistic for them to expose their strength and simply push through.

Chapter 168 Movie Emperor Lingling

Beginner level skills are valuable, intermediate level skills are even more valuable, but for the sake of money, both can be abandoned.

In the magical world, mages are certainly noble, but money is definitely not as noble!

Some non-magical super conglomerates have no members in their entire family who practice magic, yet the number of mages at their command could form a small legion, including many powerful mid-level and even high-level mages.

Monks desperately need money. Unless you plan to live like this for the rest of your life, you'll never earn enough.
