Full-Time Magister: Starting from Obtaining the Azure and White Serpents

Chapter 43 Ancient Capital, Astraea

A gentle breeze caresses the face by West Lake in Hangzhou.

When Tang Yue heard that they needed to borrow the totem snake, she had no doubts whatsoever, and without even asking the purpose, she immediately agreed: "Okay."

Hearing this, Jiang Haoxuan felt a warmth in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yue gazed at the surging emotions in the young man before her and teased him charmingly, "Are you too touched to leave your older sister?"

Jiang Haoxuan looked at the mature and elegant woman in front of him, dressed in a classic professional dress, and was reminded of Tang Yue, who looked like a female teacher back in the day.

He swallowed involuntarily.

Tang Yue also felt the boy's burning gaze, and a blush rose on her mature face.

"No, I can't stand your fussing... I'll take you to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, and we'll see Uncle while we're there."

Jiang Haoxuan smacked his lips, thinking to himself, "Am I really that scary?"

Soon, the two found Tang Zhong, the presiding judge in Hangzhou.

Tang Zhong pondered for a moment and asked, "Where do you plan to take the Totem Serpent?"

The supreme monarch is too destructive; destroying a city is a matter of minutes for him.

Jiang Haoxuan said succinctly, "Go to the ancient capital."

"I see." Tang Zhong nodded and muttered to himself, "The ancient capital is indeed in big trouble. This is for the best. Xuan She trusts and relies on you a lot. If you take it there, there shouldn't be any problems."

Ever since drinking Jiang Haoxuan's dragon blood, the totem black snake has become very dependent on and affectionate towards Jiang Haoxuan, even more so than towards Tang Yue.

This is a bond of blood!

Buzz!

Tang Yue took out a totem bead and placed it in mid-air.

Then, the West Lake surged, and large wisps of light smoke were exhaled. Snake-shaped mist swirled around, and the enormous body of the black snake rapidly shrank and entered the totem bead.

Tang Yue held the pearl in her fair, delicate hands and handed it to her, saying softly, "Be careful on the road."

Jiang Haoxuan nodded, took the bead, and tucked it into his clothes.

He would not use the Black Serpent unless absolutely necessary. After all, people's hearts are fickle, and in some people's eyes, the Black Serpent might be another threat!

……

The sky over the ancient capital was covered with dark clouds, blocking out all the sunlight.

The world was shrouded in darkness and desolation, like a silent hell.

After the plane landed, Jiang Haoxuan was only allowed to leave after being questioned by the airport's military magistrate.

Clearly, the ancient capital has become more vigilant and cautious due to the outbreak of the undead calamity.

As soon as he left the airport, he summoned his throwing knives and soared into the sky.

Unlike modern cities like Shanghai and Hangzhou, the ancient capital has erected ancient city walls, with two high walls, one inside and one outside, enclosing the city center and the suburbs.

The city walls were sturdy, constructed entirely of earth magic, and covered with dense magical runes. Human mages and guard mages held the walls, casting spells to resist the horde of undead outside the city.

"Let's meet up with Mo Fan first."

Jiang Haoxuan thought to himself.

……

Ancient Capital Hunters Alliance.

"Ten million! You might as well just rob a bank!"

Mo Fan's voice rang out as he began to curse loudly.

"This is the price for going to Yangyang Village. If you think it's too expensive, you can find someone else." A short man with two tufts of mustache didn't buy into his act and said indifferently.

"How about a 20% discount?" Mo Fan asked helplessly.

I'm poor!

Although he gained a lot from the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, most of it was exchanged for money to buy baby formula, which ended up in Xiaoyanji's stomach.

He now understood why Jiang Haoxuan only wanted Old Yan Ji and not Young Yan Ji.

This is such a money pit!

By the time Little Flame Princess truly grows up, who knows how many bags of money she'll have consumed!

"You're so annoying! If I said no, I meant no! I'm a respectable man, you know what I'm talking about!" the short man snapped. "Let me tell you, I don't need your order. If you don't leave, plenty of others will!"

"I don't believe it. What kind of scoundrel would leave the city at this time?"

……

"Mo Fan, if you're not going to say anything, why do you always end up arguing with people wherever you go?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Fan turned around abruptly and saw Jiang Haoxuan's teasing face: "Brother Jiang, you've finally arrived!"

"If I hadn't come, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have been able to afford the guide."

Jiang Haoxuan made a joke, then looked at the short man. The short man sized him up, his mustache twitching: "Twenty million for two people, no bargaining."

"Can."

Jiang Haoxuan readily agreed and made up the two million that Mo Fan had missed. "Remember to pay me back."

"Understood, Brother Jiang." Mo Fan smiled wryly.

He's truly penniless now.

……

The next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced the sky and fell upon the ancient city walls, Jiang Haoxuan and Mo Fan had already arrived at the agreed-upon South Gate.

The short man was already waiting there.

All the others who had left the city had arrived, and among the crowd, a woman wearing a black silk veil stood out.

The woman had a hot figure and wore a silk robe embroidered with peacocks. A soft, bright red shawl hung down luxuriously. Her two breasts resembled Mount Everest, and when she walked, the ground shook, which was quite a spectacular sight.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Hiss! I've seen too many women in my life, village beauties, school beauties, socialites, I've tried them all, but this woman... I'd rather live ten years less than sleep with her just once."

The short man looked like a goblin.

Mo Fan nodded frantically.

He was used to seeing beautiful women, but this exotic charm, and so alluring, was a first for him.

Jiang Haoxuan's gaze became unrestrained; he was handsome and looked like a playboy.

The outer south gate has been opened, and transport vehicles carrying military supplies from outside the city are coming in one after another, leaving only a narrow archway for pedestrians to pass through.

But no one expressed dissatisfaction; instead, they all looked at each other with respect.

"Is that the bomb you were talking about?"

The woman with the black silk scarf spoke.

The short man was flattered when the goddess spoke, and said, "You've come to the right person! My cousin works as a driver in a transport team. Most of these are bomb materials. They can be assembled into large bombs at the Magic Association... May I ask your name, Miss?"

"Just call me Ye Meng'e."

Azharia didn't mind the short man's gaze; she was European and had an open personality.

As she watched the convoy of vehicles enter the city, she quipped, "Aren't you afraid someone will steal such good stuff?"

"Even if you had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, you wouldn't dare. The Guardian Mages and the Magic Association are not to be trifled with!" the short man sneered.

The group seemed to be deep in thought.

Led by the short man, they left the city and continued on their journey.

……

The days are short and the nights are long; it is getting late.

Apart from Jiang Haoxuan and his group, the other hunters had all returned to the city early.

Jiang Haoxuan collected some rainwater along the way.

"Hurry up, we've been waiting for you!"

In the distance, the short man impatiently urged Jiang Haoxuan to come over, and handed him a gray, garlic-shaped object.

"This is grey garlic, used to mask the life force of the living, but it has a time limit," the short man explained.

If he had a choice, Jiang Haoxuan really wouldn't want to eat this stuff.

But to avoid unnecessary trouble, I forced myself to eat it, and the nauseating taste made my stomach churn.

Mo Fan, who had already vomited, could only swallow it back down after hearing this.

The one who ate with the most elegance was Asha Ruya, who gracefully lifted her veil and ate as if savoring a delicacy.

"You're eating like this, it's like poop, and you're actually enjoying it so much?" Jiang Haoxuan said speechlessly.

"vomit!"

Asha'ruya couldn't hold back any longer and glared fiercely at Jiang Haoxuan.

His desire to kill someone was very obvious.

To her surprise, upon smelling the odor from her mouth, Jiang Haoxuan instantly donned a mask of pain: "Ugh!"

Asha'ruya: "..."

She really wants to kill someone right now!
