Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 2 The Mu Family of Bocheng

Li Xuan looked at the two wooden boxes that had suddenly appeared in front of him, his heart filled with doubt.

He carefully reached out and touched the wooden box. It was warm to the touch, and the material was like jade but not quite, exuding a mysterious aura.

"What is this?" Li Xuan looked up at the Kunlun Demon Emperor, his eyes filled with vigilance.

"Open it and you'll see." The Kunlun Demon Emperor's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, then steeled himself and opened the wooden box.

In an instant, a dazzling light shot out from the wooden box, stinging his eyes.

As the light gradually faded, Li Xuan saw a crystal-clear jade pendant lying in the wooden box.

The jade pendant was engraved with some strange runes and emitted a faint light.

"This is..." Li Xuan picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

"This is my jade pendant, and also a vessel containing some things you might need."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan probed the jade pendant with his mind, and gasped in shock after just one glance.

Inside the jade pendant were two Soul-level Fire-type Soul Seeds and a series of Fire-type resources.

He never expected the Kunlun Demon Emperor to be so generous.

"Five years have passed since you entered the Kunlun Mountains. For me, it is but a fleeting moment, but for you humans, it is a world in the making."

"Your presence has brought me great joy during this time, so these are my rewards."

"Thank you, Demon Emperor." Li Xuan bowed deeply to the Demon Emperor of Kunlun.

This jade pendant stirred up quite a bit of emotion within him.

As expected, the jade pendant given by the Kunlun Demon Emperor is a cultivation artifact just like the Azure Dragon Vessel!

Even more comprehensive.

"You are mine. When you walk outside, you represent not only yourself but also me." The Kunlun Demon Emperor's voice was gentle yet authoritative.

"Of course, the main reason is that you've fused with my Blazing Sun Divine Eye, so you can't die."

At this point, it seemed that the eyes of the Kunlun Demon Emperor could see through Li Xuan's appearance to his inner world.

It should be described as a pair of crimson eyes reflecting the starry sky within the vast universe.

This is an anomaly caused by the Fire Galaxy under the influence of the Blazing Sun Eye...

"Furthermore, the jade pendant contains several of my powers. If you encounter a desperate situation, you can activate them with your will."

"Alright, you can go down the mountain now."

Li Xuan and the Crimson Flame Lion bowed to the Kunlun Demon Emperor once more, then turned and headed down the mountain.

Neither of them had family in this world, so in a sense, the Demon Emperor Kunlun was their 'elder'.

However, this person is really not someone to mess with.

Along the way, the man and the beast felt exceptionally relaxed, as if they had been freed from a heavy shackle.

The Crimson Lion transformed into a small toy and perched on Li Xuan's shoulder as they chatted and traveled.

……

Inside a courtyard of the Mu Family Manor.

Li Xuan lay back in the chair, squinting as he enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, gradually relaxing his long-tense nerves.

The Crimson Lion lay lazily at his feet, yawning every now and then, looking quite adorable.

Who would have thought that just a few months ago he was traveling around and living a life of hardship, but now he can live a peaceful life in this luxurious Mu family manor.

All of this was thanks to a chance act of kindness he gave after descending the mountain.

That day, as he was passing through a small town, he happened to be attacked by demons.

Li Xuan was kind-hearted to begin with, and upon seeing this, he did not hesitate to take action and eliminate the demon.

The townspeople were deeply grateful to Li Xuan for saving their lives. At that time, members of the Mu family also passed through the town.

They immediately wanted to recruit a talented young man like Li Xuan.

Li Xuan hesitated at first, but then he realized he needed a place to stay so he could learn more about the world, so he readily agreed.

Upon arriving at the Mu Family Manor, Li Xuan discovered that it was actually the Mu family of Bocheng.

This is also how he learned about the current timeline.

"Li Xuan, are you cultivating?"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came through the door.

"Enter."

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"Is this Ning Xue? Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a woman in a light blue dress walked in with light steps.

With her graceful figure, snow-white skin, and a cool and aloof air about her, she was none other than Mu Ningxue, the genius girl of the Mu family.

"I saw that the gate to your yard was open, so I thought I'd come in and take a look."

Mu Ningxue walked to Li Xuan's side, her gaze falling on his contented expression, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Did your personal magical artifact activate again?"

Li Xuan looked at Mu Ningxue as she approached, a hint of doubt on his face.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Mu Ningxue felt a warmth in her heart, then shook her head slightly: "No, Father asked me to take you there for dinner, mainly to thank you for helping me suppress the side effects of the ice bow."

Indeed, Li Xuan's arrival some time ago effectively healed her gradually frozen heart.

Even the bow that made her feel death was suppressed by Li Xuan.

"I'm a little hungry, Crimson Lion, how about you?"

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at the mechanical lion lying at his feet.

"I'm fine with anything." The Crimson Lion yawned.

"Then you can make the arrangements," Li Xuan said with a smile.

In a way, he and Mu Ningxue were somewhat connected. In a sense, Mu Ningxue's power was very similar to the Blazing Sun Divine Eye within him.

Using the Blazing Sun Eye might lead to self-destruction, while Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Bow consumes a large amount of mental energy, or even her soul.

Both carry extremely high risks.

It was for this reason that Li Xuan came into contact with Mu Ningxue.

Geniuses always appreciate each other, and Li Xuan's Blazing Sun Divine Eye can suppress the icy power within his body.

Over time, the two naturally became acquainted.

Li Xuan stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked side by side with Mu Ningxue toward the main hall of the Mu family.

Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed Mu Ningxue's hair, and her faint fragrance wafted through the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The two chatted casually, mostly about cultivation and some interesting news from Bo City recently.

Li Xuan's witty and humorous manner occasionally brought a rare smile to Mu Ningxue's face.

Her originally aloof demeanor softened considerably at this moment.

Soon, they arrived at the main hall.

At this moment, the main hall was already filled with a sumptuous feast, and the rich aroma wafted through the air, causing Li Xuan's stomach to rumble loudly.

Mu Zhuoyun, the head of the Mu family in Bocheng, was already waiting in the hall. When he saw Li Xuan and Mu Ningxue enter, he stood up to greet them.

"Li Xuan, come and sit down." Mu Zhuoyun greeted Li Xuan with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation and gratitude.

"The main reason for this simple meal is to express my sincere gratitude for your care and help to Xiaoxue during this time. Without you, Xiaoxue would have suffered so much."

Seeing that his daughter enjoyed interacting with this talented young man, no one was happier than Mu Zhuoyun.

Neither his daughter nor Li Xuan could be restrained by Bo Cheng.

One was admitted to a prestigious academy in the capital at a young age and broke through to the intermediate level; the other had a mysterious background but an absurdly high level of cultivation.

Li Xuan quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "Uncle, you're too kind. Ning Xue is exceptionally talented, and I believe it won't be long before she can control the power of ice."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two took their seats.
