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

Chapter 77 Saintess Asha's advances, a special dark power

Mo Fan hurriedly came to Cheng Xiao's door to inform him of news about Zhang Xiaohou that came from the ancient capital.

"I'll go with you," Cheng Xiao said after a pause.

"But before that, I need to pick up something. We'll be heading to the ancient capital tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was filled with gratitude. He truly deserved to be his good brother-in-law—no, his good older brother.

Mo Fan immediately went back to prepare, planning to set off again tomorrow.

"Brother Cheng Xiao, what happened? Why did Brother Mo Fan leave in such a hurry after just arriving?" Xin Xia asked.

"There's something urgent I need to take care of. I'll go with Mo Fan tomorrow; it might take a few days," Cheng Xiao said softly, offering some words of comfort.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Yes, I believe in Brother Cheng Xiao!" Xin Xia smiled sweetly.

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

Cheng Xiao didn't waste any time. After telling Xin Xia and Mu Nu Jiao, he immediately contacted Leng Qing.

Upon hearing Cheng Xiao's request, Leng Qing joked:

"What, having your senior sister around isn't enough, you've got your eye on her best friend now?"

"Sister Leng Qing, it's really urgent." Cheng Xiao said solemnly.

"Tell me, and I'll transfer you directly to Tang Yue's group."

"I would like to borrow the totem snake."

"."

Leng Qing contacted Tang Yue and Tang Zhong, but the uncle and nephew did not immediately agree.

The totem of the Black Serpent is of great importance, and whether or not it can be borrowed is not solely a decision that the Tang family can make.

Upon arriving in Songcheng, Cheng Xiao and Leng Qing went directly to West Lake to find Tang Yue and Tang Zhong.

"Your request has been approved by the higher-ups," Tang Zhong said.

"Thank you." Cheng Xiao nodded.

"There's nothing to thank me for; I already owe you a favor," Tang Zhong said.

"Besides, the place you're going to this time is the ancient capital, where the undead are currently in turmoil. Maybe we can all help out."

At this moment, Tang Yue walked over, holding the totem bead of the Xuan Snake.

"Remember to bring the big guy back safe and sound, or your sister will be angry!" Tang Yue said quietly.

That doesn't guarantee Cheng Xiao won't blush or skip a beat when he responds:

"Don't worry, Sister Tang Yue."

"Yes, I believe you."

"."

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

The next morning.

Cheng Xiao and Mo Fan agreed on a time and boarded the last flight to the ancient capital.

After getting off the plane, Cheng Xiao had no intention of using his parliamentary privileges.

The ancient capital is already swamped with the cholera outbreak caused by the undead; it's best to act discreetly.

Mo Fan went directly to contact Zhang Xiaohou's head instructor, Fei Jiao, while Cheng Xiao went to the Hunter Alliance first.

"Tsk tsk, you can tell this guy is an outsider. Is there anything I can help you with?" A harsh, hoarse voice came from behind.

Cheng Xiao followed the sound and looked down to identify the person who spoke.

"How did you know I was from out of town?" Cheng Xiao asked with a half-smile.

"Hehe, I've been active in the Ancient Capital Hunter Alliance for twenty years. I don't even need to look at faces to know who's familiar and who's unfamiliar; I can tell just by their backs!"

The short man said smugly, "So, buddy, if you want to place a commission, come to me."

"I'm going to the dangerous village near Xianchi," Cheng Xiao said.

"Ten million."

"make a deal!"

"."

Cheng Xiao readily agreed, which surprised the short man.

I've never seen an outsider who would readily agree to a multi-million dollar order.

After paying, the short man beamed with joy:

"I have two more people with me, buddy. Let's meet at the agreed location tomorrow!"

"no problem."

"."

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

"Ten million?! Brother Cheng, have you been scammed?"

Mo Fan was stunned when he heard the price.

Where do you find a place that charges ten million just for showing the way? Isn't this blatant bullying of outsiders?!

"A Fiendish Abyss has appeared in the Xianchi area, and no one is willing to lead the way. It's not a loss to hire someone for ten million," Cheng Xiao said.

Of course, that wasn't his real purpose.

If the timeline is correct, an important figure should appear in the short man's group.

The next day, Cheng Xiao took Mo Fan to the designated location to meet the short man.

Just as Cheng Xiao had expected.

The other team led by the dwarf was led by the saint Azharia of the Parthenon.

She stood out in the group, her face hidden by a black veil, revealing only her beautiful eyes.

Despite it being the dead of winter, she wore a silk robe embroidered with colorful peacock patterns, and a soft, bright red shawl hung down, swaying with her movements.

Of course, what's most eye-catching is her graceful waist and rounded hips; her lithe figure alone can arouse the desire to conquer in men.

The saintess who came from abroad seems to really like the culture and land of Kyushu.

Having come from afar, he even specially dressed himself in an outfit that exuded a chivalrous yet tender charm.

Ever since Cheng Xiao appeared, Asha's beautiful eyes have been fixed on him.

There seemed to be something about Cheng Xiao that was attracting her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Friend, could you tell me your name?" Asha's voice was gentle.

Upon hearing this, the two attendants behind Asha'ruya frowned and stared at Cheng Xiao.

Mo Fan was also shocked, looking completely bewildered:

"Brother Cheng's charm is terrifying! We've only just met, and a beautiful woman has already come up to greet him."

The short man couldn't help but twitch his lips; no matter how he tried to flirt with Asha, it was no use.

The moment Asha Ruya saw Cheng Xiao, she went straight for him.

"Cheng Xiao." Cheng Xiao stated his name, then added a reminder:

"Tell someone your identity before asking their name; it's impolite to do so."

Asharuya was taken aback and chuckled awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about your culture. My name is Ye Meng'e, you can just call me Meng'e."

Cheng Xiao nodded slightly.

At this moment, the short man coughed twice and quickly said;

"Ahem, now that everyone is here and we've gotten to know each other, let's set off. Daytime in the ancient capital is very precious."

"."

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

As the short man said, daytime is very precious in the ancient capital.

Especially during the long nights and short days of winter, not to mention that this is also during the special phase of the undead riot.

The land outside the ancient capital of Anjie was desolate and lifeless, like a deathly place shrouded in death.

The group, led by the short man, walked briskly across the land.

Cheng Xiao glanced sideways at Asha Ruya.

The woman kept staring at him from time to time, and Cheng Xiao could catch her every time Asha Ruya looked over.

With the breakthrough in the cultivation of the three systems, coupled with the power of the 'Dominator's Authority'.

Cheng Xiao's spiritual realm has also broken through to the fifth realm, and his perception is much stronger than that of the fourth realm.

Asha'ruya also noticed Cheng Xiao's gaze and explained with a smile:

"Don't misunderstand, I also practice dark magic, I'm just curious about your dark power."
