Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Unfortunately... I've never been interested in the Zhao family's businesses. Besides, Zhao Youqian is indeed more suitable than me to take over the Zhao family."

"Whoo~"

Then Zhao Manyan looked at Cao Le and said, "But thank you again this time, Cao Le."

To be honest, if it weren't for him, Zhao Manyan felt he would have been finished today...

Whether it was the previous sneak attack and poisoning, or the opponent's strength...

Thinking about how Cao Le had killed a high-level mage, he couldn't help but say, "You're really getting more and more monstrous. A high-level mage, just like that, you killed him..."

Cao Le paused for a moment, then continued, "He is a super-level mage who cultivates poison magic. I just have a natural advantage over mages who use black magic."

"Your skill level is impressive, but aren't you afraid that Zhao Youqian might attack you again?"

Zhao Manyan shook his head and continued, "No matter what, I won't kill him. I don't want my mother to be sad... but if he tries to harm me again, I won't let him get away with it!"

"Anyway, it's your family's business, so you can decide for yourself. That's all I can do to help you. But you could go somewhere and have a heart-to-heart talk with it," Cao Le said, pointing to a rockery in the distance.

Zhao Manyan was taken aback and looked at the place Cao Le was pointing to with some confusion.

There doesn't seem to be anyone there, right?

"Where are you? Are you kidding me?" Zhao Manyan asked, dissatisfied.

"Who the hell told you that was a person? I'm talking about that mountain!" Cao Le replied, exasperated.

...

You can't see anything in one day, let's try it for a few more days and see what the effect is?

273. Let's talk to Baxia.

"Cao Le, even though you just saved me, you can't joke around with me like that. That's a mountain. What kind of heart-to-heart talk do you expect me to have with a mountain?"

"If that girl who has a crush on me sees this, she'll think I'm an idiot!" Zhao Manyan muttered, slightly dissatisfied.

Cao Le's lips twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Don't worry, I don't have a crush on you. But who told you that it was a mountain? It's just the totem Baxia that's linked to your vessel."

"what???"

Zhao Manyan paused, then looked towards the mountains.

Honestly...

His first reaction was disbelief...

How could that be!

Even if it's a harmless totem beast, wouldn't it be afraid of being discovered if it suddenly appeared in Venice?

However, judging from Cao Le's expression, he was clearly not joking...

Zhao Manyan was stunned for a moment and said, "You're not kidding?"

"roll."

Cao Le was too lazy to waste any more words with him, so he turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Manyan knew that Cao Le was not joking; the creature from there was indeed a totem beast.

It's a totem beast that has some connection to the totem vessel in my hand!

only...

Such a big mountain...

Zhao Manyan was somewhat afraid.

What if the other party hurts him?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Manyan still walked towards the other party.

Nothing else...

He's really puzzled right now.

...

Cao Le returned after resolving Zhao Manyan's minor predicament.

To be honest, he didn't expect Zhao Manyan to let Zhao Youqian go. In this way, it seemed that he hadn't done anything.

Moreover, that idiot Zhao Manyan completely exposed himself to Zhao Youqian's view.

Although what he said wasn't wrong, Zhao Youqian did harbor resentment.

Even if you're understanding of him, you still need to gain control first, right?

Only in this way can you truly protect yourself...

But ultimately, the two are brothers, and as he said before, this is all he can do.

As for what happens next, that's up to fate.

When Cao Le returned to his residence, he saw Mu Ningxue tidying up the house for him.

Um...

Upon seeing Mu Ningxue, Cao Le felt a sense of warmth for a moment.

"No, no... this little girl, Mu Ningxue, is trying to pull me ashore!"

Cao Le shook off his thoughts of happiness, went inside, and embraced her cold body.

Mu Ningxue is always cool.

There's nothing we can do; she's just naturally blessed with an ice-cold constitution.

"Where did you go?" Mu Ningxue didn't turn around, but she knew clearly that it was Cao Le.

"I'm going to give that idiot Zhao Manyan some life advice," Cao Le replied.

"There was a battle over there just now, was that you?" Mu Ningxue asked again.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

"Oh~"

Seeing that Cao Le didn't say anything, Mu Ningxue didn't ask any further questions.

After tidying up the house, Mu Ningxue turned and gave Cao Le a reproachful look.

No matter the time, this guy can always find exactly what he wants...

"Xuexue, what are your thoughts after the National Games are over?"

“I want to establish a family,” Mu Ningxue replied.

"I'm so tired..." Gu

"Aren't you going to fulfill the will of your ancestors?" Mu Ningxue asked in return.

“Our ancestors are all gone, and I have already inherited their will,” Cao Le said solemnly.

That means Boss Cao is gone.

Otherwise, I might jump out and slap him a few times!

What does it mean to inherit one's own will?

Is this my own will?

"What will?" Mu Ningxue asked after a pause.

"Hehe~~"

"What are you laughing at?"

Mu Ningxue was a little confused. What was this all about? Why was she laughing for no reason?

Cao Le shook his head, but did not explain what he was laughing at.

"You're going to receive the Divine Seal Ceremony the day after tomorrow. Have you decided which magic system you want to enhance?" Mu Ningxue asked again.

The reward for first place is the most enticing divine seal of praise.

This is a fantastic item that can multiply one's magical power!

Regardless of which magic system is enhanced, this is equivalent to surpassing others in the basics.

“My fire and shadow magic are both black magic types, and the Divine Seal Ritual cannot amplify them, so I can only choose the space magic,” Cao Le replied.

He had nothing to hide from Mu Ningxue.

Moreover, augmented dimensions are inherently better than elements.

While magic is said to be equal in strength, in a battle between a powerful spatial mage and an elemental mage under equal conditions, the dimensional mage would definitely be stronger.

With such masterful control over space, those dimensional mages are mere novices, easily manipulated and controlled.

However, if someone with weak mental strength and few resources awakens a spatial ability, it is not as practical as an elemental ability.

"Don't you want me to build a family?" Mu Ningxue asked again, remembering what Cao Le had just said.

"I just don't want you to be so tired." Cao Le thought back for a moment. In the original world, Mu Ningxue had always focused on her family.

Why make things so tiring when we can go on adventures together, swords in hand, and travel the world?

“But if I want to fight against the Mu family, this is my only option. Moreover, we don’t necessarily have to build a family; instead, we can build a force where everyone can fight together,” Mu Ningxue added.

Instead of focusing on surnames, let's build a force. Together with like-minded friends, let's create a home that belongs to everyone.

"Do whatever you want, I'm not really interested in any of this," Cao Le shrugged.

"Hmm~"

Mu Ningxue nodded.

Regardless, she had to build this family.

There was nothing she could do; many of her clansmen who were still capable were now barely clinging to life.

She fought so hard in the National Games because she wanted her people to live in the light of day.

Of course, Mu Ningxue wouldn't bother with those who just sit around waiting to die.
