Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 68 My Cousin is Actually a Saintess

As soon as it was light, Cheng Xiaoyu and his two companions arrived at the south gate of the outer city wall. Mo Fan and his group of four were already waiting there. Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang, being beginner-level mages, did not come along.

Those two men, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, must be the director.

Besides them, there were three other people. The two burly foreign men were like bodyguards, protecting the woman in the middle.

The woman wore a silk robe embroidered with colorful birds. The black gauze dress was form-fitting and hugged her body, highlighting her graceful and exquisite figure, which was as undulating as mountains.

In particular, her two firm, erect breasts seemed ready to burst forth, arousing men's most primal desires.

The fabric clung tightly to the skin, outlining a soft, boneless, slender, and graceful waist.

The downward curve of the hips suddenly widens, perfectly outlining a round, firm, plump, and voluptuous bottom, like a fresh and juicy peach, making you want to take a big bite.

A long, slender, and straight white leg was hidden under the gauze skirt, which extended all the way to below the knee, revealing a slender calf covered in black glossy stockings, delicate yet voluptuous.

A pair of jade-like feet, clad in high heels, possess delicate ankles and beautiful arches, as if meticulously sculpted by the heavens. One can't help but want to hold these beautiful feet in one's hands and gently caress them.

Her long, smooth, jet-black hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, secured with an exquisite hairpin, revealing a swan-like neck and delicate collarbones. She resembled an elegant and dignified black swan, exuding a noble aura.

A black veil vaguely concealed her face, revealing only her beautiful eyes, which were dark with a deep blue hue. Gazing into them sent a tingling, electric current through one's body.

The woman, simply by standing there, exuded an aura of natural allure, like a reincarnated nine-tailed fox, charming and seductive, captivating and mesmerizing.

But when that allure is unveiled, one is astonished to find a dark queen standing before them, dignified and elegant, graceful and noble, cold and proud, and stunningly beautiful!

She's really beautiful—but something's not right, this woman gives me a strange feeling of familiarity!

Cheng Xiaoyu stared intently at the woman, then his pupils contracted. Both her figure and expression made her look like someone he knew!

The moment Asha Ruya saw Cheng Xiaoyu, her expression changed immediately, and she quickly turned to the side and hid behind the two bodyguards.

What's going on? Why is Xiao Yu in the ancient capital? Isn't he always in Shanghai?

"Sir, what do you want to do?"

Pushing the two bodyguards aside, Cheng Xiaoyu grasped Asha's fair wrist and said firmly.

"You're my cousin, right? I wouldn't mistake you for someone else!"

At this point, Asha Riya sighed, her tense body relaxed, and she looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with helpless eyes.

"Hey, you rude brat, stop—"

"Ah Xin, Ah Li, don't misunderstand, he's my younger brother."

Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards were taken aback. Since the Holy Maiden had spoken, they said nothing more.

"Cousin, I need an explanation."

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's serious expression, Asha Ruya held his hand and said softly.

"Xiao Yu, calm down first. I'll explain everything to you on the way, okay?"

Cheng Xiaoyu remained expressionless, his mind filled with many questions, yet he still chose to respect his cousin's wishes.

On the other side, Mo Fan and his friends watched this scene with wide-eyed curiosity.

"Damn, Yu-ge is awesome, he just went straight for the girls."

"Don't overreact. Didn't you hear Xiao Yu call that woman 'cousin'?"

"Mu Bai, did you know that Brother Yu has such a beautiful foreign cousin?"

"This... I've never seen it before, but my sister seems to recognize it."

After a brief incident, the group left the outer city wall and, following the dwarf man's directions, began heading towards the village of Danger.

"Sigh, how much longer until we reach the nearest dilapidated village?"

Mo Fan sighed. If he could summon the Swift Star Wolf, he wouldn't want to leave.

"It's still early, and what you should be worried about isn't when we'll arrive, but when it will get dark."

As the short man spoke, he pointed ahead to the sun, which was slowly sinking below the horizon, its rays shining upon the land.

"Damn it, it's already setting?"

"It's winter now, the nights are long and the days are short, can't you be a little more cultured?"

Upon hearing this, the short man gave Mo Fan a disdainful look and said helplessly.

As dusk falls, the deathly silence before nightfall can easily make one feel uneasy.

"Come on, everyone, eat this."

The burly man next to the short man then took out several gray, garlic-like things from the bag on his back and distributed them to everyone.

"Hey, there's food! You should have said so earlier! I was starving—pfft!"

Mo Fan smiled as he took the food, but the next second he spat it out, scattering gray crumbs all over the ground.

"What the hell?! Did you feed me shit?!"

A nauseating taste came from his mouth, his whole body trembled, his face contorted in anger, and he cursed.

Mu Bai shook his head helplessly and said irritably.

"If you eat it without listening carefully, you won't even know if you've been poisoned later."

Seeing Mo Fan's disgusted expression, the short man shook his head as expected and explained the function of the gray garlic.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan smiled disdainfully and declared domineeringly that he would kill as many undead as came. However, after seeing the undead constantly emerging around him, he swallowed the gray garlic without hesitation.

As expected, the wandering spirits did not approach the group, but gradually drifted away.

Seeing everyone else painfully swallowing the garlic, Cheng Xiaoyu bought three concealment magic tools from the shop. Although they weren't as good as the concealment magic tools his teacher had given him, they were still enough to prevent the servants and warrior-level undead from noticing him.

"Here, put these on."

After distributing the magical tools to Jiang Feng and Leng Lingling, he walked over to Asha Ruya and handed them over.

"Don't worry, I have magical artifacts that conceal my presence. I don't want to eat this kind of thing."

A slight smile played on her lips beneath her veil as she took Cheng Xiaoyu's arm and quietly walked to the back of the line.

"You mean—my cousin from abroad is a saint from the Parthenon?!"

After listening to Asha's explanation, Cheng Xiaoyu tried hard to digest the massive amount of information. He naturally knew about Parthenon, as it was the holy land of white magic.

But he genuinely didn't know that his cousin was a saint of the Parthenon. After all, he didn't pay much attention to foreign affairs, and his phone wouldn't push these kinds of videos to him.

He recalled how his cousin had suddenly appeared after his mother fell into a coma, and he seemed to understand something.

"Xiao Yu, don't worry about these titles. I'll always be your cousin."

"Cousin, do Mom and my sister know?"

Upon hearing this, Asharuya pursed her pink lips and nodded silently.

"Yeah----"

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled. It turned out he was the one who had been kept in the dark all along. This feeling was indeed not pleasant.

Since the older cousin is a noble saint, what roles do the mother, who knows Grandpa Bao, and the seemingly harmless younger sister play?

A silence fell over the room. Cheng Xiaoyu had composed himself, but didn't know what to say.

When the group finally arrived at Yangyang Village, there was no dilapidated village to be found, only a pile of wood.

While everyone looked on in astonishment, Cheng Xiaoyu frowned, glanced around at the surroundings, and spoke.

"There are no corpses around here, so it doesn't seem like it was done by the undead. However, the ruins of those houses show signs of burning, so it's most likely done by humans."

"Brother Yu, what should we do now? What if the monkey is here?"

"Don't worry, we can only go to the next village now. If the next village is the same, then it will be terrible."

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head, pointed to the burnt wood, and speculated.

"Judging from the extent and extent of the burning, this village was destroyed around today, so the murderer isn't too far away. We must hurry to the other village."

"Okay, I understand. Let's hurry and get going."

"

The short man nodded and comforted the strong man for a few moments. He was relatively rational and calmed down before continuing to lead the way for everyone.

However, he then told everyone some bad news: it was about a two-day journey to Huacun, and even if they went fast, it would still take a day and a half, but the amount of garlic they had wouldn't be enough to sustain them for the entire journey.

"It's alright. We have a group of mid-level mages with decent strength, plus me, a high-level mage. We can hold off a wave without any problem."

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Cheng Xiaoyu in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock.

"Xiao Yu, you've already reached the advanced level?!"

"Holy crap, we absolutely have to latch onto Brother Yu's coattails!"

"Brother Yu is awesome!"
