Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 49 Leng Qing and Tang Yue's Plea for Help

"Brother, you were so domineering just now~"

Ye Xinxia linked arms with Cheng Xiaoyu, walking briskly down the road, a joyful smile blooming on her pretty face.

She had long wanted to teach Liu Yilin a lesson, since this guy kept harassing her, but she couldn't let her carefully cultivated public image crumble.

"I can't allow my sister to suffer in love, after all, I don't think you like him either."

Cheng Xiaoyu suppressed his slight displeasure and rubbed Ye Xinxia's head. He didn't know why he was acting this way—it was just his controlling nature as an older brother!

"No matter what, finding a boyfriend has to go through my brother's strict screening process. If I say no, then no!"

"How domineering!"

Ye Xinxia puffed out her cheeks and unconsciously hugged her brother tighter. Her full breasts were slightly deformed, but she was still very happy inside. She really liked her brother like this.

"Alright, I've booked a restaurant and even a hotel. It's a rare trip to Hangzhou, so we should enjoy ourselves for a few days before heading to Shanghai."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, brother!"

Afterwards, the two went to the restaurant they had booked and enjoyed some time alone.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiaoyu stopped moving, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. He turned his head sharply to look out the floor-to-ceiling window at a building that was inconspicuous in the darkness.

No, this feels to me—it can't possibly be a building!

"My God, what is that?!"

"It's a demon—a monster, a demon?!"

"How is this possible? A demon of this size has appeared in the heart of Hangzhou! Where is the city's demon-hunting team?"

"Run—run fast!"

Suddenly, a panicked commotion erupted in the restaurant as people screamed in terror.

The once intimate restaurant instantly transformed into a chaotic place filled with cries and screams, with everyone's eyes filled with profound fear.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall building suddenly twisted, revealing a giant head staring directly at the restaurant.

His triangular eyes were bright and sparkling, like spotlights on the top of a commercial building.

This brightness is not vibrant, but rather eerie and terrifying, penetrating deep into people's hearts!

Its head and neck are almost connected, with the neck bulging out like a giant hood. It is black overall, but due to the neon lights, some scales can be vaguely seen on its body!

The shadowy figure was looking straight ahead; in fact, with its dual pupils, it was mostly staring at the entire building and couldn't see the people inside the building's floor-to-ceiling windows at all.

The restaurant was filled with wailing and screaming. Not to mention ordinary people who lived in the city and had never seen demons before, even sorcerers who had seen demons were shocked by this scene and their hair stood on end.

This—this is actually a snake! Its strength must be at the monarch level. What's wrong with this world? I've never heard of Hangzhou being this unsafe!

Cheng Xiaoyu was completely stunned, but his reflexes were still sharp. He grabbed Ye Xinxia and fled the restaurant, even faster than the panicked crowd.

He's not stupid. If he insisted on standing still and confronting the snake to a draw, wouldn't that be pure idiocy?

By the next day, the incident of a giant demon appearing in downtown Hangzhou had already caused a huge uproar online. Even though the official explanation was rather weak, the citizens simply could not accept it.

Cheng Xiaoyu thought the controversy would continue, but people calmed down after a few days. Although the authorities were handling it behind the scenes, he still thought these people were incredibly audacious.

However, due to this incident, West Lake seems to be temporarily closed off, which means there's nowhere to go, leaving him and his sister stuck in the hotel.

Fortunately, Ye Xinxia was very well-behaved and didn't throw a tantrum; she even seemed quite happy.

"Xinxia, ​​I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen in Hangzhou."

"It's okay, I'm happy just being with my brother."

Ye Xinxia put down her phone, climbed from her bed to Cheng Xiaoyu's bed, and nestled her delicate body in his warm embrace.

A complex emotion flashed in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes. His hand paused in mid-air, but he still stroked his sister's head and said softly.

"How about this, let's go out and have some fun during summer vacation? What do you think of going to the beach?"

"Great! I've never been to the beach before!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinxia's pretty face immediately lit up with a smile, and she was already imagining herself wearing a bikini on the beach, looking at her brother in a daze.

Just as I was thinking about my travel plans, a phone call came in.

"Sister Leng Qing, is there something you need?"

"You know about what happened in Hangzhou, right? Senior sister, I need your help. If possible, can you and Lingling get here before tonight?"

Leng Qing's tone seemed very serious, suggesting he was in a great hurry.

"I know about that giant snake. I happen to be in Hangzhou with my sister—"

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then looked down at his younger sister in his arms. Ye Xinxia smiled and nodded at him.

Oh, what a sensible little sister. I feel a little bad. I'll make it up to you later!

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes, I'm sorry to have taken up your time. I'll make it up to you."

After leaving the hotel, Cheng Xiaoyu arrived at West Lake using the location tracking and immediately spotted two beautiful figures, Leng Qing and Tang Yue.

Both women were dressed in judges' uniforms, which clung to their full and shapely bodies, highlighting their graceful curves and showcasing their tall and slender figures with their long legs.

"Sister Leng Qing, Sister Tang Yue."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing and Tang Yue saw Cheng Xiaoyu walking over and quickly went up to him to express their concern. Although they had exchanged a few words of greeting over the phone, it was different from seeing him in person.

"Don't worry, I already told you it's nothing."

"But I'm still worried about you. How could those guys do this? They attacked a group of students who knew nothing about it. People like that deserve to go to hell!"

Hearing Tang Yue's words, even though Leng Qing had a different opinion on the matter, if it involved the people around her, she would definitely feel a great deal of resentment towards those high-ranking officials.

For someone like her, if the victim were a stranger, she wouldn't be so angry; she might just casually say it was an accident.

Sigh, that's human nature. Anyway, she doesn't deny that she has double standards.

"Anyway, I'm still standing right in front of you, perfectly fine — by the way, tell me why you called me here, I'm actually quite curious."

Unable to resist the concern of the two older sisters, Cheng Xiaoyu changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue's expression suddenly fell, and she then told the whole story truthfully.

After listening, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded in sudden understanding. It turned out that the giant snake had such a profound origin. There really was such a creature as a totem beast in this world. He had only seen it in ancient books before.

"So the most urgent thing is to prove that the snake is innocent, right?"

"Yes, there's a meeting in a bit, let's go over there first."

The three of them immediately headed to the Lingyin Temple trial. Leng Lingling had just arrived in Hangzhou, and she rushed over to Cheng Xiaoyu the moment she saw him.

"Hmph, if you ever make me worry again, I'll stomp you to death!"

"That's disgusting, okay?!"

"Not at all, I hate you!"

Cheng Xiaoyu sighed, blocked Leng Lingling's twin-tail attack, and gave her little head a good rub.

"Let's go in."

Before anyone could even enter the conference room, a rough, angry shout rang out.

"The person is already dead, yet you still protect that poisonous snake! I came from the Magic Court not to discuss matters with you, but to eliminate the threat to West Lake and restore peace to Hangzhou. You had better hand over the totem snake as soon as possible for us to deal with!"

Who is this guy? He's got such a bad temper. Did he eat gunpowder?
