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

"Let me think about it," Raguel said in a low voice.

"No problem," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Raguel has great potential; it's only a matter of time before he reaches the sixteen-winged realm.

Of course, what Cheng Xiao really wanted was someone who could help him manage the Holy City.

Raphael and Uriel were neutrals and did not want to fight for power.

Remiel was at odds with himself, and his thinking leaned more towards the authoritarian style of Michael, which differed from his own ideals.

Sariel also has close ties with Michael, and all three of them have been included by Cheng Xiao in the list of those who hinder the development of magic.

As for the angel of wisdom, Gabriel, having witnessed the fusion magic, will understand how to choose sides.

Therefore, the only person they can currently win over is the simple-minded Archangel Raguel.

If Raguel continues to choose to side with Uriel, it doesn't matter if Raphael chooses to stand by and do nothing.

Anyway, right now, Cheng Xiao is basically unstoppable.

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

After Raguel left, Cheng Xiao gave Mu Ningxue and the others some brief instructions before embarking on a new journey with Lingling.

"You've got a conscience, you didn't lie to me this time!" Lingling said, crossing her arms.

"Did you tell Sister Leng Qing about your trip?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"No, why would you tell her?"

"."

Cheng Xiao had gotten used to it.

If Leng Qing knew Lingling was going abroad, she'd probably send her to school the very next day.

"Why are we going to South America?" Lingling asked.

"We've uncovered some clues about the Black Vatican. Let's go there and try our luck; we might find something unexpected," Cheng Xiao said.

"Of course, the main task is still to invite people."

"Hire someone?" Lingling's little face showed confusion.

"It's a confidential matter, I can't tell you," Cheng Xiao said.

The identity of each archangel's pilgrimage is a secret of the Holy City, and even fellow archangels cannot reveal it.

Otherwise, they will suffer a backlash from the angelic soul embryos, just like divine vows, imprinted on the soul embryos of every angel.

If this most basic principle is violated, the soul embryo will directly backfire on the soul, causing damage to the soul.

This is a warning to those who possess a soul embryo, and a constant reminder to every angel of their responsibilities.

"Fine, I won't say it then." Lingling thought Cheng Xiao was retaliating for her being petty, so she didn't take it to heart.

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

night.

While Cheng Xiao was fast asleep, he suddenly felt a soul force that did not belong to him intrude into his dream.

A graceful, ghostly figure appeared before them.

She shamelessly flaunted her allure, trying to show Cheng Xiao her most seductive side in his dreams.

Looking at Jiu You in the dream, dressed in a retro and alluring uniform, Cheng Xiao said irritably:

"What are you doing?"

"Ah! My dear king, you're awake?" Empress Jiuyou asked with a smile, shifting her position.

"What do you think of me?"

"It looks pretty, but I didn't feel anything in my dream."

Cheng Xiao shattered the dream she had created with a single finger, and the surroundings returned to a chaotic void.

"Why aren't you helping out in Sha Yuan? What brings you here?"

Jiuyou looked regretful, realizing she hadn't managed to seduce Cheng Xiao.

They dared not play anymore and started talking about serious matters:

"My king, we are locked in a fierce battle with the Pyramid Undead Empire, but that old bastard Khufu has no sense of martial ethics and has started calling for reinforcements, causing us to suffer considerable losses in these battles."

"We are really at our wits' end, so I have come to ask Your Majesty if there is any way to deal with this."

"Sha Yuan is at a disadvantage?" Cheng Xiao frowned.

"Why didn't the armored emperor tell me?"

"He always thinks he can do it and doesn't want to disappoint you, so he keeps pushing himself, not knowing how much we common folk suffer," Queen Jiuyou said resentfully.

Cheng Xiao began to question the emperor's armor, confirming that it was indeed true.

"Your Majesty, please give me a little more time. I am sure I can turn the tide!" the armored remnant soul said defiantly.

Cheng Xiao was speechless.

Now that the armored remnant soul has become a shadow soldier, it no longer considers the lower-level undead as its own people, right?

Loyalty is not wrong, but this has become blind loyalty!

If things continue like this, Sha Yuan will probably be left with only the Emperor's Armor Robe as a lone commander, and Cheng Xiao won't even know it in the end.

"You keep holding on," Cheng Xiao said helplessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The remnant soul in the armored robe sensed the king's anger and helplessness, and dared not say anything more.

Upon regaining consciousness, Cheng Xiao asked Jiu You Hou:

"Where did Khufu get his reinforcements from?"

"The Serpent Empire," said the Nine Netherworld Queen.

"I have investigated the military situation. Medusa's mother is dying. She has three daughters, and the eldest and second daughters are currently in charge of the empire."

"As for Medusa's mother, I speculate that Khufu promised her two daughters something, which is why they were willing to send a large number of troops to help Khufu."

If it were only a portion of the Serpent Army, the Sha Yuan Undead Empire could not possibly be at a disadvantage.

It's worth noting that the Sha Yuan Undead Empire had previously devoured dozens of small and medium-sized pyramids.

The reinforcements they brought were no match for the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Hephaestus combined; it was an overwhelming victory!

After Khufu could no longer sit still, he directly appealed to the Serpent Empire, ordering them to send most of their military force to support the Pyramid Undead Empire.

This is how the balance of power shifted in favor of the Pyramid Undead Empire.

With the Pyramid Undead Empire and the Serpent Empire joining forces, even the Abyss Undead Empire gradually fell into a disadvantageous position and became difficult to resist.

"What about the Serpent Ancestor? Did He participate in the battle?" Cheng Xiao asked.

"Wow! You have such a deep understanding of Africa!" Jiuyouhou said with slight surprise, and continued:

"The Serpent Ancestor did not appear. It is estimated that Medusa's eldest and second daughters cannot persuade this emperor."

"However, He had a relationship with Khufu thousands of years ago, and He basically brought most of His troops to support him."

"I don't think he'll personally intervene unless absolutely necessary."

Cheng Xiao nodded:

"That makes things easier."

"You really do have a solution!" Queen Jiuyou's eyes lit up.

"What are your plans?"

Cheng Xiao didn't reveal anything: "You'll find out when the time comes."

After Jiuyou, she didn't continue asking, but changed the subject and asked:

"Does Your Majesty require my service?"

Cheng Xiao was taken aback, looking at her with some disdain:

"How dare you, a ghost, say such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuyouhou quickly explained:

"Serving is not limited to physical pleasure; interaction between souls is also acceptable."

Cheng Xiao shook his head:

"I refuse."

Upon hearing this, Jiuyouhou immediately became anxious:

"Really, it feels just as good as having sex with your own body. You should try it. If that doesn't work, I can find you a body."

"Am I that casual?"

"Then I'll go with the woman next to you."

"I only have a little girl by my side."
