Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start.

Chapter 20 Giant Eyed Rat

……

Under the cover of night, Lü Cheng pushed Ye Xinxia out to stroll through the night market.

"Brother Cheng, since you know what Sister Ningxue means, why haven't you forgiven her?" Ye Xinxia asked, puzzled.

"Forgive? I've never blamed her, so where does this forgiveness come from?" Lu Cheng said with amusement.

"You never blamed her?" Ye Xinxia was taken aback.

"Then why have you always..."

"You've been ignoring her?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Mm." Ye Xinxia nodded.

Since that incident three years ago, everyone has become noticeably more distant.

"Xinxia, ​​it's not that I'm ignoring her, it's just that we've all grown up and have our own things to do. We can't just hang out together all the time like we did when we were kids," Lü Cheng said.

"I'm not ignoring her, I just haven't had the time."

Mu Ningxue awakened her ice element at the age of fourteen and began intensive training. At fifteen, she was specially recruited by the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and left Bo City.

It wasn't that he ignored Mu Ningxue; it was that they simply didn't have many opportunities to interact. Coupled with their previous conflicts and the fact that their past interactions had been too frequent, the contrast created a sense of disparity.

But in reality, this is a normal change.

We've all grown up, how much time do we have left to spend together?

"Will we always be this busy in the future...?"

Ye Xinxia lowered her head with some worry.

"Of course." Lü Cheng patted Ye Xinxia's head.

"We will all grow up and have our own lives. It's impossible for us to be together all the time like we were when we were kids."

"Everyone needs to maintain a necessary distance, a distance for themselves and for the other person."

"Excessive closeness will not enhance feelings; it will only hurt both parties."

Ye Xinxia nodded. "I've got it."

"Got it?"

Lu Cheng changed the subject abruptly, "I thought you would cry and beg Brother Cheng not to leave you, but I didn't expect you to accept this cruel reality so easily. It seems that I am not that important to you."

"Huh?" Ye Xinxia looked confused.

"Brother Acheng, that's not what I meant. Didn't you say I should be obedient?"

"You'll listen just because I tell you to?" Lu Cheng tapped Ye Xinxia's head.

"If I let you stab me in the back someday, would you stab me or not?"

"If we encounter danger and I let you run first, will you abandon me and run away alone?"

"I..." Ye Xinxia's heart clenched, and her eyes instantly reddened; she was about to cry.

"Brother Acheng, I..."

"Don't cry." Lu Cheng squatted down in front of Ye Xinxia and put his index finger to her mouth.

"You're a big kid now, you can't cry all the time."

"As for these two problems, I hope they never happen, but if they do..."

Lu Cheng reached out and cupped Ye Xinxia's head, pressing it against his skin.

"I hope you will do as I say."

"Is that okay?"

"No!" Ye Xinxia refused.

"I won't stab you, and I won't leave you alone!"

"Disobeying me?" Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

"I won't listen!" Ye Xinxia said, her eyes red.

"I'll listen to everything else, but not this one!"

"..."

"That's good." Lu Cheng pinched Ye Xinxia's cheek and smiled.

"If you believe such nonsense, then I'll really suspect that you're hoping something bad happens to me so you can elope with your brother Mo Fan."

"Brother Acheng!" Ye Xinxia said with a stern face.

"I'm angry!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Lu Cheng leaned closer and tapped Ye Xinxia's cheek.

"Can you forgive me?"

"No!" Ye Xinxia turned her head away angrily, revealing the other half of her face.

"Oh, so we can't favor one over the other, right?" Lu Cheng nodded again, somewhat amused.

"Are you done?"

"If you're still angry, then I..."

"No, I'm not angry anymore!" Ye Xinxia lowered her head, her face flushed.

That scoundrel brother really knows how to bite!

There are too many people here, this won't do!

If you're going to kiss someone, you have to go home!

"It's good that you're not angry. It's getting late, we should go back to the palace to rest." Lü Cheng pushed Ye Xinxia to turn around and head back the way they came.

"My beloved concubine, tonight..."

boom!

A roadside shop suddenly collapsed, and the streetlights, seemingly due to poor contact, began to flicker, their single, scarlet eye flashing, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Giant-eyed blood rat!

"Demons!"

The bustling street erupted into chaos upon the sudden appearance of the giant, blood-stained rat.

"How did this thing get into the city?" Lu Cheng pushed Ye Xinxia to stand still, instead of running away with the crowd.

This chaotic retreat, with no order whatsoever, is most dangerous if one recklessly gets caught up in the crowd; a stampede could easily occur.

Moreover, the giant-eyed blood rat is a very timid monster that generally does not enter urban areas inhabited by humans. Even if it does come, it will only hide in the sewers and eat scraps, and will only eat people when it is extremely hungry.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Now, this thing has somehow ended up in a densely populated urban area?

What's the difference between this and someone with social anxiety actively going up to the stage at the company's annual party to sing?

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

"Squeak squeak squeak!!"

For some reason, the giant-eyed rat looks extremely irritable!

Lu Cheng had already roughly guessed where this thing came from.

But so early?

The experiment has already begun?

"Oh? Instead of running away, you've chosen to approach me?"

Lu Cheng gained a deeper understanding of the sheer idiocy of the giant-eyed, bloody rat before him.

He possessed the true dragon aura of the Holy Lord, which only demons could sense. These low-level demons, who were servants, should have fled in terror upon sensing his aura, but now, this thing actually wanted to attack him.

They really have no brains at all.

Berserk mode can even override a creature's survival instinct...

"That's all." With a wave of his hand, Lü Cheng summoned Xiaotian, who crushed the giant-eyed rat with a single claw.

Members of the Magic Association who were rushing over from a short distance happened to witness this scene, and their tense expressions immediately froze.

dragon?

Where the hell did this important person come from?

"Brother Acheng?"

Since the appearance of the giant-eyed rat, Ye Xinxia, ​​who had been asked by Lü Cheng to cover her eyes, tentatively opened them and peered out through the gaps between her fingers.

"Hmm!"

Ye Xinxia was so shocked by the corpse of the giant, bloody rat that it burst with vomit that she almost couldn't help but vomit.

Lu Cheng chuckled and turned the wheelchair around, so that Ye Xinxia had her back to the bloody scene. "Didn't I tell you not to look?"

"I...I'm curious," Ye Xinxia said, sounding aggrieved.

How terrifying! How disgusting!

All of their internal organs burst out!

The giant-eyed rat's big eyes have all rolled off the roadside!

Seeing that the city's demon-hunting team had arrived, Lü Cheng stopped lingering, pushed Ye Xinxia around, and left. Xiaotian, on the other hand, transformed into the size of a parrot and followed.

"What's going on?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Its previous size made it inconvenient to move around freely, and it didn't want to be sent back to hell after you used it up, so it begged me to enhance its ability to grow bigger and smaller, so that it could stay in the human world forever," the Holy Lord explained.

"I see." Lü Cheng nodded.

This is indeed much more convenient. His method of summoning demons is different from other summoners. He only needs to consume magic energy when pulling demons out of hell, while the time that demons exist in the human world consumes their own energy.

Once the demonic energy or physical strength is exhausted, the demon will automatically return to hell.

Moreover, these demons that were pulled out were all free agents!

Xiaotian listens to him because he has been tamed by him.

Once other demons leave Hell, he has neither the ability to control them nor the ability to send them back to Hell. All demons except for the Holy Lord could become his enemies once they leave Hell.

The previous contract was merely about sharing power, and he didn't understand it. What if the demons had the ability to terminate the contract?

Eternity? He didn't believe such nonsense. These demons dared to tamper with even the annals of history! What else wouldn't they do?

Even if he doesn't consider the threat demons pose to the real world, he should at least consider his own safety, right?

If you rashly release the demons, they will target you first!

He knew nothing about demonic magic and didn't even realize when he was being tricked.

Until he finds a safe means of coercion, the only person he can barely trust is the Holy Lord.

"..."

"It really is a dragon... Interesting."

Not far from the crime scene, an elegant figure stood in the moonlight, watching Lü Cheng leave with great interest.

"However, the one that awakened for the first time wasn't a mind-based one..."

"My lord, should we deal with this person?" the black-robed attendant beside him asked respectfully.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Ye Chang said coldly.

"Please calm down, my lord!" The black-robed attendant immediately knelt down.

"I'll handle this person. Don't try to be clever!"

After saying that, Ye Chang disappeared into the darkness.
