Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 84 The Opportunity Granted by the Moon Moth Phoenix

Everyone present was deeply moved by this scene.

This is a totem beast, a true totem beast, unconditionally doting on the one it protects.

In fact, the Moon Moth Phoenix forgave Lü Yan after seeing her, which was so similar to how the Totem Sacred Beast forgave the human race for their crime of slaughtering them to gain power and fought to protect them.

However, even though these benevolent totem beasts have long since faded from human sight and relinquished their dominion over this land, many with malicious intent still covet their immense power and attempt to manipulate and control their will.

After an unknown amount of time, Lü Yi's emotions gradually calmed down. She had countless things she wanted to say to Yue Ehuang. She had repented for more than twenty years, given up the path of magic, and the culprit that caused the tragedy back then, Tian Guan Zi Shu, had been brought to justice.

However, after actually meeting her, she found that none of it mattered anymore.

Moon Moth Phoenix harbored no resentment towards her; the other party was still alive—that was enough!

"Moon Moth Phoenix, thank you for your understanding, but I am no longer worthy to continue as a totem guardian. Let the past, all the pain and sorrow, vanish in the new cycle of reincarnation!"

Upon hearing this, Yue'ehuang let out a soft and ethereal call, seemingly agreeing with Lü Yi's idea and expressing her final reluctance.

After taking one last lingering look at Yue'ehuang, Lü Yi turned around and went to Yu Shishi. He held her fair and smooth hands in his own, and personally placed the Yue'ehuang totem artifact, the moth tail pendant bracelet, onto her wrist.

"Shishi, the future of the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​in your hands. You must treat it well and never repeat my mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi stroked the moth-tail pendant bracelet and nodded earnestly.

"Grandma Lü, I will definitely protect the Moon Moth Phoenix!"

The Moon Moth Phoenix seemed to sense something, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, flapped its soft, cloud-like wings, and flew around him affectionately a few times.

"Xiao Yu, it seems the Moon Moth Phoenix really likes you!"

Seeing the scene before him, Lü Yi couldn't help but laugh. Presumably, Yue Ehuang had sensed the kindness emanating from this young man.

Cheng Xiaoyu observed the Moon Moth Phoenix up close. A holy aura emanated from it, making him feel exceptionally peaceful. He gently stroked its body and whispered something.

"Moon Moth Phoenix, the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree has been destroyed by our own hands. Enter the cycle of reincarnation in peace."

Upon hearing this, the Moon Moth Phoenix's transparent body flickered slightly before fading away completely, its aura weakening to the extreme, just like an ordinary Qing'e.

At the same time, wisps of dreamy starlight emanated from the Moon Moth Phoenix's body and gradually merged into Yu Shishi's body, forming a protective pact with her for the next cycle of reincarnation.

When their reincarnation comes, everything from the past will vanish like smoke.

Seeing this, Yu Shishi understood that she needed to take Yue Mo Huang to a safe place so that they could safely undergo reincarnation.

"Let's go back."

Upon hearing that gentle voice, Yu Shishi turned to look at Cheng Xiaoyu standing to the side. Her eyes gradually welled up with tears, and she nodded heavily.

"Don't forget your task. Complete it as soon as you get back, and I'll check the results later."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi's tenderness vanished instantly, and she glared at Cheng Xiaoyu with a resentful expression.

Indeed, I shouldn't have had any hope for this man.

Qin Yu'er quietly observed everything, a smile flashing in her beautiful eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.

Upon returning to Shadow Snow City, Yu Shishi began her life as a "black slave," immediately ordering the Green Moths to patrol the edge of the territory and using Crescent Moon Mountain as a place to raise the Green Moths.

Mu Ningxue has been staying in Shadow Snow City recently, busy adapting to the task of managing the forces.

Cheng Xiaoyu introduced Jiang Feng and Yu Shishi, who occupy a significant place in his future plans.

One night, the night was clear and the full moon hung alone in the sky. Its light, without any haze, fell on Crescent Moon Mountain and on the dancing maidens. As a result, Crescent Moon Mountain looked like a mountain glowing with fireflies, and it looked exceptionally beautiful from a distance.

That large pupa was the Moon Moth Phoenix that degenerated after that day. Many totem creatures are of the same lineage, and it can even be said that they have been the same one for thousands of years.

When they are about to die, they choose to regress to the state they were at birth, and slowly grow again, including fading away their past memories.

The Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​such a totem. At this moment, its body and soul are covered in wounds, and it has only suffered pain for many years. It seems to be waiting for a release.

Not far away, Yu Shishi, Lü Yi, and Jiang Feng stood under the wooden house, quietly waiting for this moment of reincarnation.

As the moonlight shone down, the giant pupa of the Moon Moth Phoenix gradually emitted the special fluorescent light that the Green Moths possessed. Suddenly, all the green light concentrated at one point, transforming into a phantom image.

The ethereal image of the Moon Moth Phoenix floated lightly in the air, its wings, as thin as cicada wings, displaying an elegant cyan color and inlaid with black patterns of varying shades, as mysterious and unpredictable as the mist in the mountains.

When it spreads its wings, it's like a gentle breeze rippling across the water.

When it folds its wings, it looks like a withered leaf lying quietly on the tender tip of grass, light and beautiful.

Its slender body is covered with soft down, giving it a faint sheen.

A pair of bright eyes on its head seem to see into the depths of autumn water, crystal clear and sparkling with lively light.

Its antennae are slender and long, trembling slightly, as if exploring the world around it.

The Moon Moth Phoenix's soft, cloud-like wings fluttered gently, accompanied by its inconspicuous yet exquisite legs. Its elegant posture and unique beauty made all who saw it stop and marvel at the wonders of nature!

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up and saw that the Moon Moth Phoenix was also looking at him. It nodded its head slightly, as if to express its gratitude.

Now that its worries are resolved, it can finally enter the cycle of reincarnation in peace.

As the phantom dissipated, wisps of fluorescent light swirled around Cheng Xiaoyu, and a peculiar energy was transmitted into his spiritual world, forcing him to enter a meditative state.

"Mom, what's wrong with Xiao Yu—"

Lu Yi stared intently at the fantastical scene surrounding Cheng Xiaoyu, and was also slightly taken aback, before speaking softly.

"Perhaps, this is an opportunity given to Xiao Yu by the Moon Moth Phoenix."

After a long while, Cheng Xiaoyu opened his eyes, his pupils replaced by a deep black color, and a strong dark aura emanated from his body.

The energy given to him by the Moon Moth Phoenix just now actually helped him successfully break through the first level of the Shadow element and reach the third level of the advanced stage.

The excess energy was channeled into the Mind System, successfully breaking through to the second level of the advanced stage, which was a significant improvement.

"Xiao Yu, what's going on?"

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's question, Cheng Xiaoyu explained the situation, which deeply moved the three of them.

"It seems the Moon Moth Phoenix has a good impression of you."

Lü Yi sighed, as if recalling her youth.

"Grandma Lü, would you mind moving to a different place to retire?"

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled slightly, exchanged a glance with Jiang Feng, and explained.

"As you can see, I have created a force called Shadow Snow City. If you wish, you can live here and watch over the growth of the Moon Moth Phoenix."

Of course, he had his own selfish motives. If Grandma Lü stayed in Shadow Snow City, it would be much more convenient for her in many ways in the future, and there would even be a top-level expert in charge.

"I----"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yi hesitated, as she had long since stopped participating in power struggles.

"Grandma Lü, since Aunt Feng is also in Shadow Snow City, and I think with you here, Moon Moth Phoenix's safety can be better guaranteed, right?"

"Mom, Xiao Yu is right."

After being persuaded by her daughter, Lü Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed and compromised.

"Sigh, I agreed!"

She looked at the giant blue pupa, a hint of remorse in her eyes, and decided to disobey once more.

In my past life I wronged you, in this life I will protect you with my life!
