Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 45 Going to Take a Bath

Following Lao Xue's instructions, everyone sprang into action. The two who had been knocked down and whose legs were still weak were helped forward by the crowd.

The journey of a few hundred meters didn't take long.

A huge crowd surged into the safety barrier, collapsing to the ground and weeping bitterly.

"Move forward a little, and leave a path for those behind you."

Old Xue rallied and began directing the crowd to disperse.

As the person who made the announcement, I brought everyone here, and many people were very cooperative.

Wang Teng walked to a distance and found a rock that had been washed clean by the rain to sit down. His clothes were already soaked from running all this way.

He no longer cares about his image.

"I'm so grateful to you for making it this far."

Xu Zhaoting, looking exhausted, followed and plopped down next to Wang Teng, showing no regard for boundaries whatsoever.

"Don't say such things. We're all alive because of everyone's hard work and following orders. Stop with the nonsense."

Wang Teng immediately interrupted him, saying that it was better not to mention taking credit afterward, as it would easily expose him and put him under everyone's scrutiny.

He did indeed make a contribution this time, but in the eyes of many people it was nothing. The only ones who actually saw it were the front-line troops, which numbered only a few.

Those behind had no idea who was putting in the effort; they just kept running with their heads down.

Any rumor can easily smear him; there's a saying that goes, "It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them."

There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. When you're in danger, nothing might happen, but now that you're safe, you won't be so careful about what you say.

He'd seen this kind of thing many times before.

"you……"

Xu Zhaoting opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain, perhaps too tired to do so, then shut up and sat on the ground, leaning against Wang Teng like a tree.

"You really don't hold back!"

"Take a moment, take a moment~ I've been protecting you all the way here."

Wang Teng was also rendered speechless by him. His eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Forget it, I won't hold it against him this time."

After sitting for a while, he suddenly remembered something, got up and left.

"Ouch~ What are you doing~"

Xu Zhaoting stumbled and fell to the ground, his face splattered with mud and water, looking quite disheveled.

Seeing Wang Teng ignore him and walk away, a sense of sadness suddenly welled up in his heart.

After walking for more than ten minutes and asking at several hotels, Wang Teng finally found a guesthouse with a vacant room.

He quickly made the reservation. There was still a long time before nightfall, but if it got any later, some people might realize it.

If we don't act quickly now, we'll end up sleeping on the streets at night.

Being soaking wet all night must be so uncomfortable, and there are plenty of places to stay inside the safety barrier.

Then, at a store selling sportswear, I bought a set of clothes and shoes, and went back to the hotel.

Wang Teng sent Tang Yue his location, then sent her the hotel and room number, before turning off the screen and taking a shower.

As the scalding water gushed from the showerhead, a thick mist quickly rose in the bathroom. To an ordinary person, this might be very hot, but to him, it was just lukewarm water.

Unless he was taking a bath with Tang Yue, he would always turn the water on the hottest setting, otherwise it would feel like taking a cold shower.

After rinsing for half an hour, Wang Teng finally walked out with a completely refreshed look on his face.

"Can you please change your habit of not wearing a towel after taking a shower?"

Tang Yue crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes burning as she stared at his strong physique. It was a truly healthy body; the sheer masculinity emanating from him was like a surge of hormones, making it hard to resist.

Don't assume that only men have lustful desires.

"Huh? What are you talking about... There's no one else here."

Wang Teng, in a pleasant mood after taking a shower, walked past her with a calm expression, preparing to change into the sportswear he had just bought.

As if possessed, Tang Yue reached out and stroked his straight back muscles from top to bottom. The burning sensation was like an electric shock.

Wang Teng completely ignored her advances. Whether a goddess is proactive enough and whether she is a good girl depends on whether you have the financial resources and charm.

Having just one of these things will make her take the initiative; having two will make her take an even bigger initiative.

At first, Tang Yue supported him, and just one mining adventure gave him temporary financial freedom.

Now it's become him supporting Tang Yue. As long as Tang Yue can continue like this, providing him with cover and opening up resource channels, this relationship can continue indefinitely.

He can also provide Tang Yue with resources to help her improve her strength and position, which can be described as mutually beneficial.

The core has always been the demon cultivation system. Other aspects of magical cultivation are also important, but they are not the core.

Just because he was able to tell Tang Yue doesn't mean he would tell anyone else.

Tang Yue wouldn't be foolish enough to gossip about it everywhere; she would rather keep it to herself. What she has that others don't is an advantage.

After all, living in a public institution like a court, backstabbing and power struggles are almost always a common occurrence.

It is only because she is a descendant of the totem guardian and has a close relationship with Judge Tang Zhong that she has been able to live a relatively good life.

The missions are relatively easy and free. When can a tracking mission last for three years? It's not like we're doing a dangerous mission like going undercover.

Her life was much freer and less constrained than that of many women from prominent families.

But that doesn't mean she's naive and innocent.

How could she not know or be unaware of the value of Wang Teng's practical experience in cultivation?

In the courtroom, even with connections, one still needs to contribute to exchange for resources; that's the rule.

She naturally had no need to share this knowledge, which was currently unique to her, with the rest of the Tang family. Although they were family members, they weren't really that close; in fact, their relationship wasn't particularly good.

Even among clansmen, when it comes to resources, they often refuse to give an inch; this is a cruel aspect of this world.

Aside from sharing core secrets, Wang Teng treated her like an outsider, opening up his magical cultivation experience and resources to her. This is why she was willing to accompany and give so much.

There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.

Fortunately, both of them understood this.

"I heard when I came here that you're almost a star student. Many students in the top class are talking about you."

Tang Yue sat on the edge of the bed, supporting herself with her hands behind her back, her long, round, and fair legs swaying back and forth.

"It doesn't matter, I won't care!"

Wang Teng smiled faintly. He had already received the reward he was entitled to. What did it matter what others said about him? He didn't care about empty fame anyway.

"Did Instructor Zhan Kong go kill some wolves?"

"Okay, I'm going."

"However, the situation doesn't look too good..."

Tang Yue narrowed her eyes. Just because Wang Teng could see it on the spot, it didn't mean she didn't know it later, even though she was a little slow to react.

She witnessed this scene today: the hunter mages were defending against demons outside the city, and their leader was fighting back and forth with a general-level demon.

The Mu family members have completely disappeared, presumably staying inside the Mu family manor and refusing to come out.

Several school principals were nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where they were.

The people of the Mage's Guild appear to be tracking the Black Church, but in reality, they are hunting slave-level demons, primarily searching for the carrier of the Holy Spring.

After all, that thing is precious!

The entire city probably can't compare to that bottle.
