Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 420 Special Visitors

Tang Yue smiled upon seeing this. She noticed that Wang Teng had never changed. Apart from his rapidly improving cultivation level, everything else remained the same, especially when she saw Jiang Shaoxu's embarrassed expression.

"If the chief asks again, just tell him that I am engrossed in cultivation and have no energy to take over the duties of the Southern Guardian."

"There are so many councilors in the Forbidden City, and there are plenty of talented people among them. If I don't do it, there are plenty of councilors who will."

Wang Teng made the decision with a calm and collected attitude. Becoming a councilor was not an unlimited job. He couldn't command those guys. Did they expect him to be treated like a beast of burden?

The position of Nan Shou is no longer the same as that of a councilor; it is now a semi-powerful one. If the siren hadn't come, the job would have been quite easy. But at this critical juncture, being Nan Shou is like being a beast of burden.

Of course, what he said was true; his indifference to the position of the Southern Guardian did not mean that others did not care.

Leng Qing nodded in response. She had basically finished providing the information she needed to, and her work in assisting Wang Teng was complete.

After the business discussions ended, the conversation immediately turned to personal matters, especially Tang Yue and Ding Yumin. After Leng Qing left the Tribunal, the two of them have now become the new female idols of the Tribunal.

The two often went on missions together, adhering to the principle of high efficiency and speed, and dealt with many difficult criminals.

In the past, Tang Yue's strength was not very good, so she could not become an idol. Now it is very different. She has broken through to the super-level with fire element, and she is a figure worthy of admiration in the eyes of a group of high-level female mages.

Ding Yumin has matured now, and when she dresses well, she is a goddess. Compared to Tang Yue's charming and graceful demeanor, she has a more serene and peaceful quality.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Shaoxu had been Leng Qing's secretary for so long, but in addition to her still charming and lively eyes, she seemed to have gained a sense of reliability and confidence.

Leng Qing remained calm and composed, occasionally squinting her long, narrow eyes, and her smile conveyed a transcendent air of profound understanding of the world.

The four women each possessed a unique charm, making them stand out from the crowd. As their owner, Wang Teng was extremely happy and satisfied, finding even listening to their casual conversation quite enjoyable.

ding dong~

beep~

Just as everyone was having a good time chatting, the bell suddenly rang, and everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

Leng Qing held up her phone and shook it at the crowd; it showed that Lingling was calling.

"Hmm~ Lingling's here!"

She then got up and left the hall to go outside the main gate to greet the person.

"Speaking of which, that little girl rarely comes to the manor, so why did she have time to come today?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

"Lingling should be on vacation, right?" Ding Yumin was a little unsure, as she herself couldn't quite remember when the middle school holidays started.

Jiang Shaoxu quickly wiggled her hips and slid off Wang Teng's lap, then sat on the sofa and tidied herself up.

A short while later, Leng Qing led Lingling into the villa's hall, with a little tail following behind them.

However, that little tail stood motionless at the door, its fur standing a bit ruffled, its eyes fixed on the people in the hall, or more precisely, on Wang Teng.

"Hey~ You're home too, you big tycoon!" Lingling spotted Wang Teng as soon as she entered the door.

Leng Qing's lips twitched slightly. Lingling was really disrespectful. She didn't know whether she should ask Lingling to change her address.

Fortunately, Wang Teng immediately spoke up to help her out of the predicament.

"Hmm~ I just got back a little while ago. Come and sit down, don't stand and talk."

"Who is this person behind you?"

Wang Teng glanced at the sixteen-year-old girl who was more developed than Lingling, but whose actual age was over a hundred years old.

"A snake spirit from Africa... Mo Fan's current contracted beast." Lingling turned to look at her and said.

"My name is Apas. That elementary school student said he wanted to come here for a free meal."

Apas glanced at the sharp-tongued Lingling, then expertly introduced herself.

"You can not eat it!" Lingling felt offended by the snake spirit, her little face slightly red as she spoke each word angrily.

I was just here for a casual meal, so why did she make it sound so awful?

puff~

puff~

Jiang Shaoxu and Ding Yumin squinted and covered their mouths with smiles as they watched the two bickering girls, finding their mischievousness amusing.

"Alright, alright~ Come and sit down!"

Leng Qing was both amused and exasperated as she pulled the two of them over, afraid that they might start fighting later.

Lingling gave a soft hum, turned her head, and then casually sat down on the sofa, feeling as if she had returned home.

Apas was a little reserved, but she still mustered up her courage and sat down. A sense of bloodline suppression emanating from Wang Teng made her tremble.

"Lingling, weren't you always running around with Mo Fan? Why did you come back to Songcheng today?" Leng Qing asked first, showing concern.

"Mo Fan took on a troublesome job with an Eastern family, dealing with the water demons of Thousand Island Lake."

"Since I'm coming here anyway, I might as well come ahead and take a look, and gather some information along the way."

Lingling didn't hide anything and told the truth; it wasn't exactly a secret.

"Qiandao Lake? Isn't that the area overseen by veteran councilor Jiang Xia?"

"How could large-scale demonic activity occur in the area he's in charge of?" Tang Yue asked with some skepticism.

"I heard it's a new type of salamander that likes to devour a certain mineral from Thousand Island Lake, and its shell is extremely resistant to magic."

"The Eastern Family needs this mineral to make a certain magical tool. The two families are now partners, and Fanxue Mountain will eventually sell it. So Mo Fan took over this business," Lingling said, selectively revealing some information.

With a casual glance, he quickly noticed the snake spirit's unusual behavior and obediently sat down on the other sofa.

That's really strange!

Before, you dared to go anywhere and touch anything in Fanxue Mountain. Why are you so reserved and well-behaved here?

Wang Teng was giving Apas, the beautiful snake, a subtle look. Little Flame Princess, sitting on his shoulder, was also observing while holding a slice of watermelon. Inside the totem bead, the Xuan Snake raised its head and gazed at the outside world from afar.

Apas sat obediently on the sofa, clutching the hem of her clothes, silently enduring the gazes of three pairs of eyes, almost all of whom were people she couldn't afford to offend.

As a descendant of this bloodline, she knew all too well the power of this orthodox bloodline. Even the little flame maiden, who was a level lower than her in terms of cultivation, was not necessarily weaker than her in combat.

Not to mention that due to the contract, she currently only possesses the combat power of a sub-monarch, and she has almost no ability to resist these three gazes.

Moreover, all the women in this villa are high-level mages, and the older sister of the venomous child is a fully-fledged high-level mage, giving her a strong sense of threat.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She regretted coming along to join the fun. Staying on Fanxue Mountain was fine too. It was boring, but that wasn't so bad.

Wang Teng watched for a while before looking away. If it were according to the way wild demons interact, there would have been a river of blood by now.

Apas, that snake spirit, really doesn't pay much attention to concealing her aura. The snake stench emanating from her is indeed very strong, and she only hurriedly tried to suppress it after entering the villa.

This is a habit of many wild demons. Who would bother to conceal their aura when they are out in the wild? Instead, they would rather spread their scent everywhere to mark their territory and intimidate other demon clans.

Ordinary humans cannot perceive such subtle nuances, nor do their bodies have the ability to distinguish them.

But in the eyes of demons, this was almost tantamount to declaring war.

Of course, everyone's situation is different from that of the wilderness, and they possess more rational wisdom, so they naturally won't attack each other upon meeting.
