Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

With the abyss dragon's might present, low-level demons like the patrolling feathered demons dared not invade, and everyone slept soundly.

Around six o'clock in the morning, after the sky had brightened, the group continued their journey.

As they ventured deeper, the group began to encounter attacks from winged demons, whose bloodlines were far superior to those of the patrolling winged demons.

Fortunately, the number wasn't large, and with everyone's efforts, the problem was easily solved without Li Xingze even having to lift a finger.

Along the way, Li Xingze and Zhao Manyan were responsible for resisting the wind, while Mo Fan, Xu Zhaoting, Zhang Xiaohou and others were responsible for clearing out the feathered demons. They cooperated perfectly.

After witnessing the strength of Mo Fan and his companions, Li Dexin's last shred of arrogance was completely shattered.

They were all high-level mages, and most importantly, each of them was much younger than him.

When did such young super-level mages become so common?

"Based on the information we have, Miss Jiang is not far ahead."

Li Dexin pointed to a patch of frozen vegetation in front of him, and his tone of voice was noticeably better than before.

"Old Zhao, you protect them. I'll go rescue Jiang Shaoxu first," Li Xingze said to Zhao Manyan beside him.

Zhao Manyan didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

Li Xingze did not use the Wings of Wind, but instead used Instant Teleportation. With his current eighth-level mental power, the teleportation distance was much farther than before.

With a few teleports in quick succession, Li Xingze arrived in front of the ice layer in the blink of an eye.

Li Xingze aimed his finger at the ice surface, pointing it outwards as much as possible to avoid injuring the people inside.

"Silent Thunder Death Ray - Laser!!"

The next moment, a beam of lightning, resembling a laser, pierced through the ice layer and even went straight through, killing an Ice Winged Bird in the process.

With the blessing of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Thunder, this move is powerful enough to easily penetrate the defenses of a monarch-level being!

Jiang Shaoxu, who was inside the tree hole, was startled by the commotion and thought that some terrifying demon had come.

After the ice broke, Li Xingze quickly walked into the tree hole and saw a person with a dirty face and a thin body huddled in a corner.

Her hair was incredibly messy, and her clothes were even more appalling; she was no better off than Apas had been back then.

The woman, who looked like a beggar, suddenly looked up at Li Xingze, her bright eyes instantly freezing in place.

"Li Xingze?"

His tone was somewhat incredulous, and he even rubbed his eyes, perhaps thinking he was hallucinating.

Seeing Jiang Shaoxu transformed from a pampered young lady into a little beggar, Li Xingze was still finding it hard to adjust.

After adjusting himself slightly, Li Xingze draped his coat over her shoulders and then took out a bottle of water and a loaf of bread from his spatial ring.

"You must be starving! How dare you come here all by yourself?"

Jiang Shaoxu ignored these words, staring intently at Li Xingze. Suddenly, she found strength from nowhere and threw herself into his arms.

Li Xingze looked at Jiang Shaoxu, who had thrown herself into his arms, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She was probably terrified.

"Thank you, thank you."

Jiang Shaoxu's eyes were filled with tears. The person who was least likely to appear had appeared, and the person she most hoped would appear had also appeared.

Li Xingze smoothed her messy hair and said with a smile, "You're my teammate. Of course I'd come to your rescue if you were in danger."

"Alright, let's eat something first, then we'll have plenty of time to catch up later."

"Um!"

Jiang Shaoxu first took a sip of water, and then washed her dirty face with the water.

After these past few days, she has come to understand the preciousness of water resources, but now she is more concerned about her cheeks.

Li Xingze didn't say much, but silently gathered a lot of clean water for her.

After about five minutes, Jiang Shaoxu washed the dirt off her face, revealing her thin but still beautiful cheeks.

She also washed her hair, and although it was still wet, it had a unique charm.

After eating something, Jiang Shaoxu regained much of her energy and asked, "Captain, what are you doing here?"

"We encountered the Imperial Guard on the way to rescue you. I guessed that you might be in danger, so I decided to rescue you first."

Li Xingze briefly recounted the process, which had gone relatively smoothly.

"Captain, you saved me. I have no way to repay you, so I'll offer myself to you in return."

Jiang Shaoxu stared intently at Li Xingze with her beautiful eyes, her flirtatious gaze completely undisguised.

During his time at the Nationalist government, Jiang Shaoxu had developed some affection for Li Xingze, and now that affection had only grown stronger.

"Huh?!" Li Xingze thought he had misheard.

"You're still not happy that I'm marrying you?"

Seeing Li Xingze's reaction, Jiang Shaoxu was immediately filled with resentment.

"Are you sure? You'll only ever be the fourth mistress at most."

"Fourth mistress?"

Jiang Shaoxu was about to say that she didn't care about Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue, but then she suddenly realized that even if Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue were in front of her, she should still be the third mistress!

Where did the other one come from?

Li Xingze touched his nose with a slight embarrassment, even without considering Xin Xia.

Xin Xia is, after all, a goddess now, and she still needs to maintain her glorious image. For now, Li Xingze can only sneak into the goddess's palace to raid her at night.

Once Li Xingze breaks through to the forbidden spell level, he won't need to worry about these things anymore.

Moreover, Yan Lingji, Yu Shishi, Liu Ru and others were not included; Li Xingze only included Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue and Blanqie, who were publicly known.

"The number doesn't matter, as long as you can get my dad on your side, you can hire as many as you want, but I have to be third on the list!"

Jiang Shaoxu stared at Li Xingze with her beautiful eyes, her captivating gaze making it seem as if she had already decided on him.

Li Xingze's lips twitched. Was this still the same Jiang Fox he knew?

"Ahem, let's go out first, the others are still waiting for us to join them."

Although Li Xingze was somewhat tempted, he had to put it aside for the time being. As Jiang Shaoxu said, he had to win over his father-in-law first.

Jiang Shaoxu was still very weak, so Li Xingze could only hold her in his arms and fly back in the direction they had come from.

With the Wind Feather Robe, Li Xingze didn't need to worry about Jiang Shaoxu being injured by the wind, so he was extremely fast, like a blue shooting star streaking across the sky.

When Mo Fan noticed that Li Xingze hadn't returned yet, he was about to lead his team to check the ice layer when he suddenly noticed something flying towards them.

The next moment, Li Xingze appeared in everyone's sight, carrying Jiang Shaoxu.

Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu was alright, Li Dexin, Staff Officer Xu, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that Miss Jiang has been rescued, let's head back quickly."

Li Dexin spoke up, saying that he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a day longer, and with Li Xingze and the others around, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Shaoxu ignored him completely and instead looked at Li Xingze, asking, "What are your plans?"

"We're going to the Oath Tree. If you want to turn back, I won't stop you."
