Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 109 The Journey to the Scorching Plains

After spending seven days in the Three-Step Tower, Wang Teng emerged with a satisfied smile.

The two people guarding the door were still the same ones from before. As a regular at the Three Steps Tower, Wang Teng was already quite familiar to them.

However, they didn't dare to meet his gaze, and even felt a little guilty.

"What a scary look!" The man wearing glasses wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

"Everyone tells me to be nicer to others and not to be jealous of this person or that person all the time. If someone holds a grudge against me one day, I might have to change colleagues."

"Although it can't compare to those monsters, it's still a very attractive opportunity that only comes once every two years. Many people are eager to take it."

The other person sighed, looking at him with some disdain. It would be a tragedy if he got dragged into this mess.

I hadn't walked for more than a few minutes when my phone rang.

"It's him again? Why is he looking for me?"

Wang Teng glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Mo Fan, who had been causing trouble in the fire element recently. He then answered the call.

"Old Wang? I finally got through to you. I have a team heading to Zhuoyuan, and we're short a mind mage. Do you want to come in?"

Need a mind-based mage? Shall we go to Zhuoyuan?

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng's eyes narrowed instantly, and he subconsciously began to calculate what benefits he might gain. He would avoid participating in anything that didn't offer him any advantage.

Zhuoyuan, there are two Flame Maidens there, one big and one small. There's still a chance to find some fire-type spirit resources.

He immediately thought of Ding Yumin. That girl had fire elemental powers, and she was very strong at it. He could try giving her some benefits.

His plans immediately turned to the Grand Monarch-level Flame Princess.

"Sure, I'll join the team when I'm free."

Wang Teng readily agreed, thinking that if things were planned well, there was a chance.

"That's great! We're getting ready to leave tomorrow. I'll come find you then. You should be at school, right?"

"Here I am."

"Alright, you can get ready now. You'll need something to go to Zhuoyuan..."

After listening to Mo Fan's words, Wang Teng hung up the phone and then called Ding Yumin.

"Feed~"

"Yu Mian, where are you?"

"I'm in the school's training hall."

"Come out for a second, to Landry Cafe, I have some good news for you."

"it is good."

Wang Teng put down his phone and headed to the coffee shop.

After he ordered two cups of coffee and sat for a while, Ding Yumin came over.

"Mo Fan is preparing to go to Zhuoyuan and has even formed a team. He invited me, and I plan to take you with me."

"Maybe we'll find something good this time."

Turning his head to look at Ding Yumin, who had sat down next to him, Wang Teng reached out and put his arm around her waist, gently stroking it.

"Okay~"

"Scorching Plains~ I've heard that place is rich in fire-type spirit seeds. I'd like to go there, but I've never had the chance."

"However, I've heard it's quite dangerous there, with a very high mortality rate."

As Ding Yumin spoke, a longing expression appeared on her face. She was also short of money and wanted to earn it through her own efforts.

"It would be dangerous for the average person, but with me here, there's no need to worry about safety."

Wang Teng chuckled. The most powerful one in Zhuoyuan was only the Great Flame Princess, who was a human in disguise. What a cruel twist of fate.

He is already an advanced-stage commander, and a strange spatial demon, so no ordinary monarch can do anything to him.

Not to mention he also carries a Supreme Monarch-level Xuan Snake on his body, giving him an exceptionally strong foundation.

If he still encounters danger even in this situation, then he resigns himself to his fate.

"Get a good rest tonight, and while you're at it, prepare some things. Food and drink might be a problem there, so make sure you have plenty of supplies."

"I'll transfer you some pocket money~"

He took out his phone, and with a few quick taps, transferred ten million to her.

"That's too much..."

Ding Yumin was a little embarrassed. Before, it was about resources, so it didn't seem so obvious, but this series of numbers was very eye-catching.

"What's mine is yours, and you're mine too. There's no need to be so clear about it."

Looking at her beautiful and adorable appearance, Wang Teng gave her a big kiss.

"Huh? Oh~"

Ding Yumin was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and blushed as she responded. She felt quite relaxed in the face of his assertiveness, as she wasn't good at making decisions anyway.

"Let's go buy some things together."

……

The next morning, outside Mingzhu Academy.

"Old Wang, you brought a girl with you?" Mo Fan looked at the two people walking over, his eyes glancing at Ding Yumin.

"Don't you know her? Don't worry, I'm here. There's no problem at all."

Wang Teng changed into a smart outdoor outfit today, and Ding Yumin was also wearing the same outdoor outfit. Both of them were empty-handed, as their belongings had been stored in storage space.

"Of course, no problem!"

Zhao Manyan followed closely behind, accompanied by a girl, though her expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

"Old Zhao, what are you doing? We're not going on a picnic."

"Don't worry, this is my cousin. She heard we're going to Zhuoyuan and wants to come along too."

Zhao Manyan patted his chest to assure them that they were one of his own.

Mo Fan was temporarily relieved of his suspicions after hearing this explanation, but he still remained wary.

"Is everyone here?"

A little girl jumped out of the taxi and looked over in their direction, as if asking Mo Fan a question.

"Okay, let's go."

Mo Fan nodded, and then the group got into the three taxis that had already been rented.

"I didn't expect Mo Fan to invite you along too. Now I feel much safer."

Zhao Manyan wore a relaxed smile.

"I also wanted to go out for a walk. After practicing meditation for so long, I wanted to change my mood."

Wang Teng and Ding Yumin sat in the back, while Zhao Manyan sat in the passenger seat; the three of them ended up in the same car.

Zhao Manyan's face twitched. Going to such a dangerous place, just to adjust one's mood? It's true that people's mentality cannot be generalized.

Seeing Zhao Manyan speechless after being teased, Ding Yumin covered her mouth and smiled, then leaned affectionately against his shoulder.

He felt that he had more in common with Mo Fan, so he sat in the passenger seat and stopped talking.

After arriving at the airport, the group took a plane westward to Dunhuang.

Afterwards, the group rode on local wind camels and headed towards Zhuoyuan, with yellow sand swirling all along the way.

Especially after reaching the border, the group dismounted from the Wind Camel, as the area ahead was densely populated with demons, and they could only travel on foot.

"This place really has a terrible environment."

Zhao Manyan kept spitting out sand; every time he opened his mouth, fine sand would get into it.

Seeing that Wang Teng and Ding Yumin were wearing sand masks, I immediately asked them for one.

"None of you are bringing any?"

The others also asked for a sand-proof mask.

"You're so smart, none of us thought of that."

Lingling stood on tiptoe, very satisfied, and patted Wang Teng on the shoulder.

roar roar...

Suddenly, a powerful roar came from the distant sand dunes, accompanied by a cloud of yellow dust that swept in.
