Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 32 Unexpected Wealth

"Mingzhu News Flash: The day before yesterday, a pack of swift wolves from Dinghu invaded the outskirts of Qingyuan District. They have been killed by the guarding mages. Meanwhile, the incident of ordinary dogs in the city transforming into wolf beasts has been quelled. The district head has given instructions on regional security and prevention..."

In the noodle shop downstairs in the residential area, Mei Qian, having finished a day of study and training, was sucking the last strand of ramen from her bowl into her mouth.

The end of the noodle wobbled, and a drop of oily soup flew onto her nose.

Hearing the sound of Aunt Li, the proprietress, scrolling through short videos, she couldn't help but recall the chaos on the street that day.

I also killed several wolves with my lightning seal. Luckily, I was eating noodles there at the time and protected Aunt Li and her family, who were very kind to me.

"Aunt Li, I'm going back now."

After insisting on paying for the meal, Mei Qian said goodbye and headed towards her building.

Because her parents lived in the company dormitory, she ate all three meals at Aunt Li's noodle shop.

She likes to eat noodles and eats them every day, so we can't withhold money from her just because she helped Aunt Li the day before yesterday.

I opened the door and stepped into the house.

Mei Qian frowned, a strong sense of vigilance rising on her face.

Something's not right. Who is this woman lying on my sofa?

The lock was fine, so how did she get in?

It's a monk! In a flash, she came to this conclusion.

Following that, I watched videos of home invasion murders, read news reports of mysterious deaths at home, and observed the increasingly unsettling environment in Qingyuan District.

Mei Qian didn't close the door or walk forward. Instead, she turned around and came out in a flash, closing the door behind her.

As she ran downstairs, she remembered what she had heard about Bai Mo these past few days, and instinctively dialed his number.

"Mei Qian? What's wrong?"

The phone rang only once before Bai Mo's voice came through. Hearing that familiar voice, Mei Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief. Without even thinking about why the person inside hadn't come out, she said urgently:

"Bai Mo, could you come to my house?"

Bai Mo stopped his bicycle and raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't think he was having any luck with women, since he had never even flirted with Mei Qian.

In an instant, he sensed something was wrong, and his tone became slightly more serious as he asked:

"What happened?"

Mei Qian had already come downstairs. She glanced at her second-floor window before saying:

"I just got home and found someone in the house, but I don't know how she got in. The door is fine, and I locked it when I left this morning."

"You think she's a mage? Then why didn't she come out and chase after you?"

Reminded by Bai Mo, Mei Qian, who had relaxed a bit, then realized that the woman had been lying down when she entered the house. And since she had closed the door and run out, why hadn't the woman come out to chase her?

He could only stammer to Bai Mo on the other end of the phone:

"I'm not really sure either. When I came in, I saw her lying down on the sofa. I panicked a bit and ran out without looking any further."

Bai Mo nodded, knowing that this girl was usually not very brave, and then said:

"Where do you live? I'm coming over now."

"Room 201, Building xx, Flipdou Garden, Flipdou Street"

Bai Mo didn't have time to complain. He just said, "Wait for me at the entrance of the residential area," and hung up the phone.

I got into the taxi that had just been flagged down.

Not long after, Bai Mo saw Mei Qian at the entrance of Fandou Garden.

"Let's go! This is my first time visiting a female classmate's house."

Bai Mo gestured for her to lead the way. Upon hearing this, Mei Qian rolled her eyes at this unreliable person, but her worries subsided considerably.

Led by Mei Qian, the two soon arrived at her house.

"Give me the key, I'll open it."

As Bai Mo spoke to Mei Qian, he reached out his hand, and an earring appeared on his ear without anyone noticing.

"Thanks!"

Mei Qian glanced at him and silently handed him the key.

"Praise box~"

The door opened, and Bai Mo walked in. Sure enough, he saw a woman lying on the sofa.

She appeared to have fainted, and her blue robes still bore dried bloodstains. Yet her graceful figure remained alluring.

His face was obscured by his disheveled hair, making it impossible to see clearly.

It appears she had been in a battle and then sought refuge in a resident's home.

"Is she dead?" With someone accompanying her, Mei Qian carefully observed the uninvited guest and asked when she saw that he hadn't moved for so long.

"no."

Bai Mo shook his head. Now that he was closer, he could feel that the woman was still breathing. It was extremely weak, indicating she was seriously injured. If he were still at the beginner level, he probably would have had to get very close to her nose to feel it.

At the same time, as they got closer, Bai Mo realized...

The woman's fair skin had a dark tinge, suggesting that she was not only seriously injured but also poisoned.

No wonder, as a sorcerer, she seemed oblivious to the commotion Mei Qian caused.

Even if he's not dead yet, he'll likely die soon if he doesn't receive treatment.

"She looks like she's been poisoned. Should we save her?"

Mei Qian, who was following closely beside him, also noticed the woman's unusual behavior and asked her the question.

Shaking his head again, Bai Mo frowned, his gaze falling on the woman's face, which was partially obscured by her black hair.

"What respectable person would break into a private residence? Let's find out who she is first!"

Bai Mo spoke as if to himself, but the detection device in his ear did not detect anything unusual about the woman's heart rate.

He seemed to be genuine, so he took out a comb and reached out to brush aside the hair that was covering his face.

When the woman's face was revealed, Bai Mo's brows furrowed even more. His whole body tensed, and his eyes were fixed on the unconscious woman before him.

His eyes held lingering fear, surprise, and disbelief.

Wealth and fortune have fallen from the sky!

Mei Qian keenly noticed Bai Mo's change. She turned her head, looked at him, and asked in confusion:

"Bai Mo, what's wrong? Do you know her?"

"I know him, but I don't know him."

With a brief reply, Bai Mo took a deep breath and glanced again at the woman's pale face tinged with bruises and the red mole between her eyebrows.

Before she could ask any more questions, he took a picture of her face right in front of Mei Qian and then sent it to Leng Qing.

Bai Mo: [Image]

Bai Mo: Sister Leng Qing, do you think this person is the one in blue that you're investigating?

"Buzz~ Buzz~"

The message had barely been sent when Leng Qing called.

"What happened?"

Leng Qing's serious voice immediately came through.

"Tell me, isn't that right? I'm a little nervous now."

There was a two-second silence before someone said:

"Yes"

"Alright!" Bai Mo nodded upon hearing this. Without doing anything, a silver light flashed, and a phantom sword fell from the sky, directly severing the head of the man in blue.

Using spatial power to stop the blood from gushing out from the cleanly severed neck, he turned to Mei Qian, who was covering her mouth and forcibly suppressing a scream.

Bai Mo revealed a bright smile and said:

"You're such a lucky star!"

"What are you talking about?"

Because the call hadn't ended, Leng Qing on the other end assumed Bai Mo was referring to her, and her tone became somewhat annoyed.

"You've got some nerve! Tell me right now, where is the man in blue?!"

"Um, Sister Leng Qing, I wasn't talking to you just now. It's like this..."

Bai Mo realized what had happened, paused for a couple of seconds in slight embarrassment, and then continued to recount Mei Qian's story from earlier that day.

As he recounted the story, Leng Qing learned what had happened, and Mei Qian also learned the identity of the headless woman on the sofa.

He patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear, and secretly thanked himself for being careful.

After listening, Leng Qing remained silent for a second. She sighed, "This must be the most pathetic death of any blue-clad member of the Black Vatican."

"But you're lucky. The poison on her was obtained by one of my teammates from a high-level poison mage. It's a rare poison that corrodes the soul, so don't touch her with your hands."

Then he said to Bai Mo:

"However, it's good that she's alright. Since you killed her, you'll still get the bounty. Just bring me her head."

"Okay." Bai Mo nodded, hung up the phone, glanced at the corpse on the sofa, waved his hand, and put it away as well.

Then he looked at Mei Qian and said, "You heard everything?"

"I...I heard it." Mei Qian nodded obediently.

"Just keep the Black Vatican affair a secret. But let me tell you, the blue-clad one is worth eighty million."

Bai Mo raised his eyebrows as he said this, "If we split it in half, we'll be rich."

"Should I share too?" Mei Qian glanced at him, her face hesitant as she asked.

"I only asked for your help, so I won't split the bill."

"Tsk tsk." Clicking his tongue, Bai Mo glanced at the girl. "I'm starting to like you."

"Ah!?" Upon hearing this, Mei Qian blushed instantly, unsure of what to do with her hands.

"Pfft, it's not that kind of liking, don't get me wrong. I just didn't expect there would be idiots these days."

Seeing her like this, Bai Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said:

"It's a matter of sharing; without you, my lucky charm, leading the way, I wouldn't have gotten rich."

After saying that, Bai Mo tossed the key to her and left without waiting for her to say anything more.

Mei Qian watched him leave with a quiet gaze, then turned her attention to the sofa.

It's dirty, let's get a different one.

No, someone in our family has died, should we replace it too?
