Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 88 The Madwoman in the Parthenon

"Hailong, you show this family member around. I'll take Ms. Ye Chang to meet the Temple Mother first. Your Majesty, please take Miss Ye Xinxia to see the accommodations that have been arranged."

Upon hearing Merola's words, Hailong frowned slightly, but did not say anything, and simply nodded in agreement.

Watching his mother and sister leave, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Hailong, who was wearing purple-gold armor, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let's go. Once Merola returns, she should take you to Goddess Peak. Let me show you around the Knights' Hall first."

Cheng Xiaoyu followed Hailong around the Knights' Hall and heard that the Guardian Knights were generally divided into three types: Gold Knights, Silver Moon Knights, and Blue Star Knights. Moreover, the threshold for becoming a Guardian Knight was that of the best among the high-ranking individuals.

After learning about it this way, he couldn't help but think even more highly of Parthenon; it was indeed the number one power in his current understanding.

"By the way, have you met Norman?"

"Norman————"

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head. The name was clearly foreign; he had absolutely no recollection of it.

Seeing this, Hailong nodded thoughtfully and said slowly.

"Norman is a Gold Glory Warrior in our Knights Hall, responsible for training those Gold Glory Knights. Judging from how you and the Holy Maiden address each other, he should be considered your cousin."

"I remember he accompanied the Holy Maiden to visit you a few times. It seems he went to see Ye Xinxia, ​​but didn't choose to see you."

He suddenly seemed to realize something, looked at Cheng Xiaoyu seriously, and encouraged him.

"Don't worry, Norman values ​​family as much as the saintess does. He definitely considers you one of the family. It's just that he does have higher expectations for boys, perhaps because he feels the time isn't right yet—"

"Wait a minute!"

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped Hailong's attempt to comfort him in time. He never expected that this prominent palace master actually had a gossipy nature.

"I haven't even met that cousin yet, so I'm not that sensitive. Thank you."

"Well, it's a pity Norman is out these past few days, otherwise I would have introduced you to him."

Let's not do that. Two grown men meeting and neither knowing what to talk about would be comfortable with an awkward silence.

Cheng Xiaoyu had a pretty good impression of Hailong. Although the uncle was quite gossipy, they actually got along surprisingly well.

"Hailong, I'll take him to Goddess Peak next."

Upon seeing Mei Ruola arrive, Hailong patted Cheng Xiaoyu on the shoulder under Cheng's speechless gaze, then left with a serious expression.

"It seems you had a good chat with Hailong."

"Hehe, it's alright—where's my mom?"

"Ms. Ye Chang is speaking with the Palace Mother. I'll take you to see them."

The two arrived at a white jade palace. Merola said she needed to ask for permission and told Cheng Xiaoyu to take a look around for a while before leaving.

"It's so troublesome to even meet someone — speaking of which, this palace is indeed high-class. Compared to the one in the Abyss of Fiends, it's not even in the same league."

Cheng Xiaoyu strolled along the curved corridor. On the white jade walls hung paintings that seemed to tell the story of a goddess.

He had reached the end; at the very back, there were no more murals, only a white wall.

Wait, there seems to be a passageway here.

Sensing something amiss, the white wall was merely a disguise; touching it caused ripples to spread like water, and the view changed completely upon entering.

Behind the white walls was a bedroom, the whole room radiating a soft light. In the center was a large bed covered with soft down, like the outstretched wings of an angel.

Beneath this heavenly feather lay a slender and graceful naked body, its snow-white skin shimmering with a crystalline luster like the feathers.

The curves under the quilt are exaggerated, whether it is the full and large breasts, the slender waist that can be grasped in one hand, or the round and perky buttocks, it is like a flawless work of art!

Her delicate shoulders, long, slender legs, and three lotus feet accentuated her unparalleled beauty.

"Angel----"

Cheng Xiaoyu blurted out the words instinctively, and immediately knew he was in trouble. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the stunningly beautiful woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her beautiful eyes to meet his gaze.

Those beautiful eyes were like dazzling stars, revealing exquisite beauty and a hint of sleepiness. Her temperament was noble and sacred, yet also exuded feminine charm. Her beautiful long hair accentuated her almost perfect face!

When she saw someone suddenly appear in front of her, the woman was first stunned, then a blush and annoyance appeared on her pretty face. The next second, a terrifying killing intent burst out, as if she wanted to tear this hooligan to pieces!

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu knew things were going badly and prepared to turn around and run away, while simultaneously trying to shift the blame.

"This isn't my fault! You're the one who sleeps without clothes on; you're the pervert!"

As soon as I turned around, a cloud of powder hit me, instantly triggering the passive ability [Health and Longevity].

Harmful ingredients detected; promoting health and longevity.

Cheng Xiaoyu subconsciously closed his eyes. Hearing the prompt, he was completely stunned. The next second, he was pushed down onto the soft bed, staring blankly at the naked woman on top of him.

The woman pushed Cheng Xiaoyu down onto the bed, her beautiful eyes scanning the young man beneath her, a complex expression on her pretty face.

"Hmph, that woman certainly knows how to choose, picking a handsome son, but why should I be left all alone in this place!"

She reached out and stroked the young man's face, her expression turning somewhat ferocious, and murmured in a suppressed tone.

"My cultivation is sealed, my loved ones have passed away, and no one believes me—why can that woman have a family while I can only have an identity? How crazy do you think Ye Chang would be if she knew her son was destroyed by another woman?"

Her jade-like hand slid down her face to her chest, her slender fingers gently pressing against her skin, as if sensing something.

"Don't worry, the powder just now will only put you to sleep. It will be over when you wake up."

With the seductive voice echoing in his ears, Cheng Xiaoyu finally snapped out of his daze. Judging from what she said, this was a "honey trap"!

Realizing what had happened, he quickly ripped off the pervert on his body and stood up.

The woman was pushed onto the bed and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu in disbelief. When she realized that this hooligan had not been hypnotized at all, she immediately put on her clothes.

"Let me tell you, don't even think about trying to set me up with any honey traps. The Queen Mother is right here in this palace!"

Cheng Xiaoyu pointed at the woman. Not to mention that after she put on the white dress, she looked as noble and holy as a goddess, completely different from her sickly appearance just now.

Her face was free of any makeup, her delicate features were snow-white and radiant, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was straight and upturned, her red lips were bright and her teeth were sparkling. She was exceptionally beautiful, as if she had been sculpted by the hand of the gods, and her beauty was breathtaking.

Her long, slit dress trailed on the ground, revealing her slender, flawless body. Her tall, curvaceous figure was like a mountain range, initially full and exaggerated in curves, then suddenly contracting like a water snake, finally expanding infinitely at her hips, leaving not a single flaw.

Beneath the white dress, a pair of long, straight, beautiful legs occasionally peeked out from the slit. The thighs were full and rounded, the calves shapely and well-proportioned. Delicate feet wore crystal high heels, clearly revealing exquisite ankles, fair insteps, and crystalline toes.

The woman's mere presence made everything around her pale in comparison, bowing down to her beauty.
