Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 480 First to Seek Refuge

Before long, Tang Yue prepared a hot pot feast with two separate broths, so that you could eat and cook at the same time.

Lin Yunxi's arrival seemed to surprise everyone present, yet also seemed quite normal.

Wang Teng ate the mushrooms while giving Jiang Shaoxu a suspicious look.

If we're talking about who invited Lin Yunxi over, the most likely candidate is still Jiang the Fox.

He remembered that he never invited women from outside his home, not even Lin Yunxi.

"Cough cough..." Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at Wang Teng's gaze, then coughed nonchalantly, as if she had been burned by the spiciness.

"Do you think we should find another place for a vacation for a while, like a trip to relax and unwind?"

"What do you think?"

After Jiang Shaoxu finished speaking to Wang Teng, she winked at Lin Yunxi, reminding her that it was her turn to speak and not just focus on eating.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Lin Yunxi quickly took out a pre-printed picture from her spatial bracelet and handed it to Wang Teng.

"What is this...?"

Wang Teng took the picture and found it somewhat familiar. The picture showed a valley, but the environment was very beautiful and natural, and there was a huge castle standing in the valley.

"We have built a modern, multi-level castle in Violent Ape Valley, and we intend to give it to you as a gift, a place to stay."

"The area now boasts not only a beautiful environment but also excellent training rooms, which fully leverages the local environmental advantages."

As Lin Yunxi spoke, a radiant smile appeared on her face. There were still some things she didn't say, namely that the area surrounding the Violent Ape Valley would be developed into a wealthy district for the entire country!

As long as Wang Teng moves in, the Lin family will be able to carry out this plan, and their power and influence will be greatly enhanced!

After hearing her words, the four people looked at Jiang Shaoxu with a mocking expression. Goodness, so that's what they were waiting for!

Feeling a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, Jiang Shaoxu lowered her head and busied herself eating. Could it be said that she was captivated by the environment there?

"A really nice place!"

Wang Teng smiled and handed the pictures to the other women. Lin Yunxi's words were quite straightforward; she intended to use him as a backer.

Some people in China don't care much about his combat strength because the country has a strong magical power and a large number of forbidden spell mages.

There's only Chairman Park in Seoul, and Old Deng is only a fully-trained fourth-level super-rank cultivator. For someone with his Emperor-level combat power, that's extremely rare.

Of course, the Lin family's strategic planning played a crucial role in this, and the benefits invested in him could naturally be recouped many times over elsewhere.

Wang Teng didn't care about their schemes. Some things are just like that; when someone comes to you, they always want something in return.

The best resources in the country have long been divided up by those huge aristocratic families. The remaining resources are all scraps, and even those are still highly contested.

Therefore, many prominent families went abroad to make a living, with the world as their blueprint, where the market is broader and resources are naturally more abundant.

With power in hand, one can easily seize territory from demons and even gather enough resources to eat one's fill at once.

The Lin family clearly had their eyes on him, wanting to embrace his power and use his name. With this name, they would have more confidence in everything they did.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Jiang Shaoxu's face lit up with a smile, and she eagerly handed the pictures to the others, saying that the place was indeed very beautiful.

She fell in love with the place at first sight; it was the perfect place for vacations, travel, or even cultivation.

Now that this incident is over, they will be able to move there for a vacation and some leisure time.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the others, Lin Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the mission was about to be successfully completed.

"I have no objection to going there, but we'll have to wait a few days until things are settled here."

Seeing that none of them objected, Wang Teng made the decision, thus fulfilling Jiang Shaoxu's small entertainment wish.

"Tang Yue and Yu Mian, you should also prepare for the handover of your work. If it doesn't work out, you should resign from your positions as judges."

"Things are different now. My reputation will inevitably have a direct impact on you. There's no fun in communicating if we're not in the same circle."

"Even if you don't care, those who interact with you will subconsciously keep their distance from you. This ingrained perception is something you can't change."

Tang Yue nodded, then asked, "Should this manor be preserved?"

"Keep it! There are professional gardeners managing the estate, so we're not worried about weeds growing everywhere."

Wang Teng had no intention of selling the manor. He had grown attached to it after living there for so long, and he wasn't short of money.

After deciding to go on vacation in a while, everyone's mood improved, and they were filled with anticipation, especially Jiang Shaoxu, who looked restless and uncomfortable.

The dinner lasted for three hours before it ended. Several people had drunk so much that their faces were flushed, and their tense nerves from the past few days had finally relaxed.

The head maid that Lin Yunxi brought was indeed a great help, taking care of many chores.

With nothing to do and no desire to cultivate, Wang Teng had already completed the forbidden spell breakthrough in the Space System today, and the next step was to control the Stars.

So he could only take a group of women into the bathroom for a bath, massage them to relieve their tension, and soothe their minds to release stress.

……

At night, a series of explosive news stories quickly spread across various platforms both domestically and internationally.

Archangel Sariel of the Holy City secretly cast forbidden magic in the bustling downtown area of ​​Song City!

Archangel Sariel has died at the hands of Wang Teng once again!

Tang Zhong mobilized his forces to openly condemn the Holy City's rule-breaking behavior and demanded a response and compensation for the losses.

With the great war about to break out, these explosive news reports dealt a significant blow to the Holy City's reputation.

In particular, Archangel Sariel's blatant violation of the rules aroused strong opposition and resentment from various magical forces.

This kind of thing is almost intolerable, because if there's a first time, there will be a second time, and who knows if it will be your turn next time?

The Holy City issued a global arrest warrant for Wang Teng out of a sense of morality and adherence to rules, in order to shift the battlefield.

And indeed, they succeeded. The other side chose a place with almost no people as the battlefield and evacuated the general population in advance.

This perfectly meets the requirements of handling special cases in a special way, and also satisfies the wishes of all parties.

Sariel's behavior was a classic example of abusing his strength to do whatever he wanted. Such a strongman who doesn't follow the rules is what makes all the major powers most afraid.

If you're strong enough, can't you just annihilate and crush anyone you don't like?

This makes them feel insecure, and anyone would know to oppose and confront this behavior.

The other protagonist in this incident, Wang Teng, protected Song City, averted the terrible consequences of the spatial restriction spell, and saved almost the entire city.

This behavior is very ironic. The Holy City proclaims the other party to be utterly wicked online, but in reality, the two sides act in completely opposite ways.

This, in turn, made a small group of people who previously harbored a strong dislike for Wang Teng suddenly realize the truth and begin to actively defend him.
