Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 101 Baxia Appears and Arrives in Japan

Upon returning to Anjie, everyone recounted their experiences on the journey.

The rest is up to the higher-ups in the Nationalist government team, even if the investigation doesn't yield any results.

"I've prepared the speedboat to Japan. You and your teammates can set off tomorrow," Ding Yumeng said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work," Cheng Xiao said.

"It's not hard work, after all, it's Master's task." Ding Yumeng's smile became charming and alluring.

"Why are you calling me that again?" Cheng Xiao said helplessly.

Ding Yumeng asked in bewilderment:

"Didn't Junior Cheng Xiao promise me last time that I could call him that in private?"

"I don't remember."

"."

Ding Yumeng leaned closer, her face full of resentment: "Master, we'll be separated for a year now that you're gone. Please promise me one thing, okay?"

Without a second thought, Cheng Xiao shook his head and refused.

"I...I don't want your body," Ding Yumeng said hurriedly.

Cheng Xiao said with great distrust:

Tell me about it.

"Let me kiss you."

"."

Cheng Xiao's lips twitched, and before he could say anything, Ding Yumeng tiptoed and gently offered her red lips.

Her movements were hurried, as if she was afraid that Cheng Xiao would run away.

After succeeding, Ding Yumeng smiled happily.

"Master, I asked my sister, and it seems your relationship hasn't progressed any further," Ding Yumeng said with a smile.

"That way, I won't have to call you brother-in-law anymore. Maybe in the future, my sister will have to call me sister in some ways too~~"

"Won't Senior Sister Yu Mian beat you up for saying these things?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"If I just hide from my sister, will my master betray me?"

"Probably."

"."

..............................

The following day, the Nationalist team boarded a speedboat bound for Japan.

The vast ocean, the Pacific, displays a magnificent and beautiful blue, exuding a captivating and enchanting color.

There were no islands nearby, and the sky was cloudless, like a blue painting.

The members of the National Government team were enjoying a rare moment of leisure on the speedboat.

"Two for me!"

Jiang Yu held seven cards in his hand, then drew two and threw them out with an air of dominance.

"Damn it, why don't you split the bomb into two parts and attack separately!" Mo Fan was baffled by Jiang Yu's move and looked at Zhao Manyan beside him:

"Old Zhao, blow him up!"

"If I had a bomb, I would have been gone long ago!" Zhao Manyan said irritably.

"Pass!"

"Shunzi, I won! Quick, quick, the Spirit Seed fragment!"

"."

Jiang Yu happily accepted the spirit seed fragments from Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, feeling incredibly rich.

Zhao Manyan was alright, but Mo Fan suffered a huge loss and began to doubt his own card skills for the first time.

"Why, why didn't you include me in the game?!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted in dissatisfaction from the side.

The three men glanced at her, too lazy to explain.

The Magic Casino has an unwritten rule: dogs and mind mages are forbidden from entering.

"You bunch of stinky men, I'm going to find the captain!" Jiang Shaoxu stormed off in a huff.

Zhao Manyan turned his gaze toward Cheng Xiao's direction, his eyes overflowing with envy.

Mu Ningxue and Cheng Xiao lay together under the parasol chatting, while Mu Nujiao carefully peeled an orange for Cheng Xiao.

Zhao Manyan was incredibly envious of the beautiful girls around him.

"Brother Cheng is still as charming as ever, but what's up with Nan Rongni? She seems quite shy and quiet, yet she started chatting with Brother Cheng in less than a few minutes?" Mo Fan asked.

As Mu Ningxue's best friend, Nan Rongni should have been chatting with Mu Ningxue.

But somehow, while chatting with Mu Ningxue, she ended up talking to Cheng Xiao.

"Hey, you can know a person's face but not their heart. How do you know she's really as shy and quiet as she seems?" Zhao Manyan retorted.

"Too."

"."

Mu Tingying seemed isolated, standing alone at the edge of the deck.

She looked at Nan Rongni, who had hooked up with Cheng Xiao, with disdain.

Although Nan Rongni often told her not to provoke Cheng Xiao, and even to try to please him, she would not yield to her rival.

Even if she can't win.

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared below.

"ah!!!"

Mu Tingying was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, screamed, and her legs went weak.

Attracted by her voice, everyone went to the edge of the deck to take a look.

But he froze before he even got to the deck.

Since the surrounding sea had become completely dark, there was no need to go to the edge of the deck to see anything.

The sea, which was blue just a moment ago, turned pitch black in such a short time!

This pitch-black expanse stretches as far as the eye can see, a black ocean!

A sense of fear welled up and enveloped everyone's hearts.

There's only one possibility for this: there's a gigantic, enormous sea monster below!

Cheng Xiao gazed at the vast black ocean, lost in thought.

"Baxia?"

He thought for a moment and tried to communicate with the other party using his telepathic abilities.

To his surprise, the other party ignored him completely. After Cheng Xiao withdrew his mental power, the surrounding ocean turned blue.

It's gone.

"This guy, as expected, doesn't have a good relationship with the Black Serpent," Cheng Xiao thought to himself.

Just now, Cheng Xiao tried to communicate with Baxia using his mental power, but Baxia ignored him.

But after Cheng Xiao brought out the Xuan Snake Demon Tool made from the Xuan Snake's strange scales, Baxia turned and left.

"What was that thing just now? It scared me to death!" Zhao Manyan said, still shaken.

"I don't know, something of this size must be at least a monarch-level creature, right?!" Jiang Yu was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"The sense of oppression this guy gives me is no less than that of the Mountain Corpse and the Totem Serpent." Mo Fan looked at Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao nodded and said:

"It should be a creature of the same level. It's probably just passing by, ignore it and keep going."

..............................

Ding Yumeng had already instructed her subordinates to arrange all the formalities for this speedboat.

The group boarded a speedboat and successfully entered the Ankai waters off Japan.

Enter West Bear City.

Since everyone's identities are currently frozen, we had no choice but to find a temple to stay in for the night.

The temple was called Yanming Temple. The abbots, considering the considerable amount of money donated by the visitors, made room for the Nationalist team to stay.

"Captain, where are you going?" Jiang Yu asked as Cheng Xiao was about to leave.

"I'll just wander around for a bit and be right back," Cheng Xiao replied simply before leaving.

"I'm with you. Hey, where is everyone else?"

Jiang Shaoxu thought she had a chance to be alone with Cheng Xiao, but Cheng Xiao disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What?! So clueless about romance!"

..............................

Cheng Xiao headed straight for the back mountain, but on the way, he saw a girl with a sweet and beautiful face.

"I don't think I've seen you before. You're not a regular at Yan Temple, are you? Are you from out of town?" the girl asked curiously.

Cheng Xiao glanced at her briefly before looking away and continuing towards the back of the mountain.
