Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

What she wanted to do was to give a chance to those who had some ability but had fallen on hard times because of Mu He's situation!

Cao Le didn't say anything more, but showed Mu Ningxue through his actions that he supported her.

As for what kind of action it was, I won't go into details...

Cough cough!

Your shamelessness has moved me.

...

The next morning, Cao Le walked out of his residence with a radiant smile and happened to see Zhao Manyan returning from outside.

Cao Le felt a pang of doubt...

Clearly, Zhao Manyan is definitely not the kind of person who gets up early to go for a walk, much less the kind of person who would go for a morning run. Unless he has something to do, he almost never gets up early.

While Cao Le was looking at Zhao Manyan, Mu Ningxue also came out of the room, seemingly having finished tidying up the house.

"What are you looking at? Go have breakfast." Mu Ningxue asked when she saw Cao Le standing there.

"Xuexue, you go first. I'll see what Zhao Manyan is up to," Cao Le replied, and then jumped off the railing.

Mu Ningxue was speechless... Was he really too lazy to even take a few steps?

...

274. A Talk with Baxia (Part Two)

Cao Le went downstairs and saw Zhao Manyan with a beaming smile on his face, as if he had eaten honey.

Seeing Cao Le approach, Zhao Manyan greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Cao Le."

"What kind of honey did you eat so early in the morning? You didn't go for a morning run, did you?" Cao Le asked.

"I don't know anyone who goes for a morning run."

Zhao Manyan shook his head and continued, "That mountain really is Baxia! And it responded to me!!"

Even though the mountain remained unmoved, for some reason, Zhao Manyan saw Baxia's divine potential.

It was so majestic and awe-inspiring!

From now on, Zhao Manyan will also be protected by a divine beast.

Even though the other party didn't really pay any attention to him, Zhao Manyan was still very happy.

After all, the other party gave him a response, and that was enough!

"What did it respond to you?" Cao Le then asked.

Zhao Manyan fell silent for a moment...

The other party just gave it a look; the rest was entirely up to the user's imagination...

When Cao Le asked this question, Zhao Manyan really didn't know how to respond.

"Alright, take me to see your guardian beast. I need its help with something." Cao Le could tell at a glance that Zhao Manyan was probably the kind of person who was easily satisfied.

He didn't ask any further questions, but instead asked him to go with him to find Ba Xia.

Zhao Manyan looked puzzled, then asked, "Wait, you're asking Baxia for help, why do you want me to come along?"

"Nonsense, if the two of us could communicate, would I have asked you to communicate with it first?" Cao Le said, scoffing.

"Uh..."

Zhao Manyan's lips twitched slightly. So this was his real purpose?

It gives me a feeling of being used as a tool...

Regardless of his thoughts, he followed Cao Le and headed towards where Baxia was.

After the two arrived at the artificial mountain decorated with a giant tortoise, Cao Le said, "Tell it why I'm here."

Zhao Manyan has a spiritual connection with Baxia.

Therefore, Baxia could understand what he was saying.

In fact, Cao Le felt that the other party could understand him, after all, it was a creature that had lived for thousands of years.

They should have this much wisdom.

However, as long as Baxia doesn't speak human language or Mandarin, Cao Le definitely won't understand him, and that's beyond doubt.

Zhao Manyan sent the message, and Baxia actually responded.

Zhao Manyan felt a headache coming on. He had been nagging for so long, and this bastard hadn't responded at all. It turned out that he hadn't provided enough!

“Cao Le, Baxia asked you how you knew where to find something that could help it recover?” Zhao Manyan asked.

"Don't worry about that, I'll take you there later."

Cao Le continued, "Just ask it if it agrees or not, stop with all the nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan hesitated for a moment: "You don't expect me to relay your exact words, do you?"

Isn't this just asking the giant tortoise for help? Is it really appropriate to use such an arrogant tone?

The opponent is someone on par with the Hangzhou Big Snake.

"Om~~"

But before Cao Le could respond, Zhao Manyan had Baxia's response in his mind.

It... agreed!

Just as Cao Le had predicted, it could understand what humans were saying.

“It agreed,” Zhao Manyan said.

"Alright, you can leave now. You don't need to know the rest," Cao Le said, urging him to leave.

"???"

Zhao Manyan was completely dumbfounded!

Isn't this a bit too ruthless of them to discard someone after they've served their purpose?

“Knowing too much won’t do you any good. If you’re not afraid, I don’t mind telling you,” Cao Le added.

Zhao Manyan paused. Cao Le had already said it was dangerous, so needless to say, it must be even more deadly for him!

So, he tactfully said, "No, I haven't slept all night, I'd better go back and rest..."

After saying that, Zhao Manyan left.

After getting rid of Zhao Manyan, Cao Le then turned to Baxia and gave instructions. Essentially, he instructed it to hide outside Mount Parthenon and wait for his summons.

Baxia shifted its body slightly, indicating that it understood.

Then Cao Le left.

The reason he was certain that Baxia would help him was because he knew that Baxia was looking for a suitable totem guardian in order to help it regain some of its power.

But how to restore its strength, it probably doesn't know itself.

Cao Le, however, could guarantee its recovery, so Baxia naturally agreed.

As for why it believed Cao Le, it was because Cao Le also possessed an aura that it didn't find repulsive, seemingly originating from its own kind.

Of course, it's the aura of the Black Serpent!

That's why Baxia wouldn't suspect Cao Le or anything like that...

...

The reason Cao Le didn't let Zhao Manyan listen was simply because he didn't want to explain to him why he had Baxia wait at the foot of Mount Parthenon.

He didn't know how to explain this kind of thing.

I can't exactly tell Zhao Manyan that I'm going to cause a huge disturbance at Mount Parthenon, can I?

If I told him, his first thought would definitely be to stop me.

No need to even think about it...

Therefore, such a thing absolutely does not exist.

After explaining things to Baxia, Cao Le called Tang Yue again.

When Tang Yue received Cao Le's call and learned that he wanted her to bring the Xuan Snake to Venice, she was completely bewildered.

However, since he said he needed the Black Serpent, he must have encountered some trouble.

Tang Yue naturally couldn't stand idly by in this situation. After making arrangements for Cao Ying, she flew towards Venice...

Speaking of which, my younger sister is almost as old as Tang Yue's sister now.

Since the two became involved, Tang Yue has practically been both a sister-in-law and a mother...

It could even be said that Cao Ying held a more important place in Tang Yue's heart than Cao Le.

After all, they've relied on each other for so long.

With the little girl so well-behaved and adorable, Tang Yue felt an overwhelming surge of maternal love...

...

Inside a hotel.

"Cao Le, what do you want the Black Serpent to do here?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

"I found its brother, so I brought it here to recognize its relatives," Cao Le replied perfunctorily.

Tang Yue paused, then asked in confusion, "The Black Serpent has brothers??"

To be honest, as guardians of the Black Serpent, they didn't actually know much about totem beasts.

They only know that totems exist in this world, but no one knows where these totems are or what they are.

However, they were certain of one thing: these totem beasts were all friendly to humans.

Moreover, Tang Yue and her clan firmly believe that there are other totem guardians in this world protecting these totem beasts from being discovered by the world.

But she truly hadn't expected that the Black Serpent would have such a "brotherly" concept...
