Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

However, he did indicate that he would definitely help if needed.

Cao Le gave him a meaningful smile, which made Zhao Manyan quite flustered...

It's a bit of a pity...

Mu Nujiao didn't come; she went straight back to Shanghai...

325. The Mysterious Cao Le

In the courtyard of a house on the outskirts of Asuka City...

Cao Le, Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, Mu Zhuoyun, and some capable people from the Mu family of Bocheng were all summoned here by Mu Zhuoyun.

"Another incident has occurred in the western suburbs of Feiniao City. It is said that a couple who were photographers were carried off by a Fanged Beast, leaving only some remains. Sigh, why are there always so many fearless people who insist on going to places where danger might occur?" Mu Linsheng sighed and complained as he read the report.

Mu Linsheng is Mu Ningxue's cousin. He didn't have much contact with the Mu family before and hadn't received any favors from them, but he did lend a helping hand when they were in trouble. He was considered quite reliable. So after the new clan was established, Mu Zhuoyun called Mu Linsheng over, hoping that he could help manage and take charge of it.

Mu Linsheng was a shrewd man who knew how to assess the situation. After arriving in Feibiao City, he immediately looked through all the information about the city. Although the sea monsters that had been hindering the development of Feibiao City, a port city, had been eliminated, the Nanling area was still the domain of demons. In recent years, the demons had frequently stolen people from the outskirts, causing widespread panic.

The Asuka City government is currently focusing more on maritime security, while neglecting land and mountainous areas. Unfortunately, this city is not considered a first-tier city, so it is difficult to dispatch mages to solve this kind of problem!

"What does this have to do with us? They're just some miscellaneous demons," Cao Le said with a shrug.

"Big brother, with your IQ, how dare you establish a family?" Zhao Manyan said with a black line on his face.

Mu Linsheng explained, "We are now a newly established clan. To put it bluntly, when a clan migrates here, it's like a businessman from out of town opening a shop. What do we rely on to attract customers to do business with us? Isn't it our reputation?"

Because of the Nationalist government's affairs, you two have gained some national recognition, but it's all superficial, and it's primarily due to our opposition to the powerful Mu clan. This recognition won't bring us business; in fact, it will negatively impact us...

After all, the Mu family's influence is still quite significant... Of course, I'm not saying we shouldn't oppose them. What I mean is, we need to first establish our reputation locally, do something substantial, and let others know about us. It's useless if people in other places know about us; it needs to be the people of Asuka City who know about us so that we can gradually grow our influence there.”

After hearing what Mu Linsheng said, Cao Le curled his lip and said, "Next time, don't beat around the bush. They're just a bunch of miscellaneous demons. I'll have Yu Jin take his army there, and that'll solve the problem."

"No way..."

Mu Linsheng was about to say: It's not that easy.

But when he saw the deceased ruler and his undead army appear behind Cao Le, he immediately shut up...

It doesn't seem that difficult, does it?

These undead were all fierce and menacing, and most of them seemed to be warrior-level undead.

Oh, the dead...

A race that even some demons dare not provoke...

"Okay, I guess I overcomplicated things," Mu Linsheng said with a shrug.

Just then, Mo Fan walked over.

He looked at the group curiously and asked, "What's going on? Where did Yu Jin go with these undead soldiers?"

"The group of the Fang-toothed Demons has been lingering in the west of Flying Bird City for a long time, harming many people. He said he wanted to deal with them and improve his reputation, so I sent Yu Jin there."

"Oh, I see... I should have just killed them out of the blue and given this to you as a gift," Mo Fan said with a shrug.

"What's the person you're with doing?" Cao Le asked in return.

After hearing what he said, Cao Le finally understood what this damn gift was all about.

It must be the water-based array that Dean Xiao has!

This attempt to use someone else's flowers to present to Buddha is truly quite clever. (Gu)

However, it's already quite good that Mo Gouzi has this intention.

Cao Le immediately noticed the person who came with him.

Yu Shishi was stunned. She hadn't expected that Cao Le would immediately notice her presence while she was observing from the shadows.

“Oh, her name is Yu Shishi. She’s quite an interesting moth-woman. And, it seems she can avoid being attacked by demons in the demon territory by relying on her scent. She wants to ask for some protection…” Mo Fan said.

“I’ll protect you, but on what basis?” Cao Le didn’t look at Mo Fan, but instead looked at Yu Shishi.

“The jackal-toothed demons are social creatures and belong to a matriarchal clan. The jackal-toothed demon clan living in the mountains has a female jackal queen. If you really want to wipe out these jackal-toothed demons in one fell swoop, it would be best to kill the female jackal queen. Otherwise, the cunning jackal-toothed demons may temporarily lay low and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on humans.” Yu Shishi immediately shared her insights.

"That's not enough. If Yu Jin can't even clean up that little bit of trash, he'll be too embarrassed to come back," Cao Le said with a shrug.

Yu Jin is the spirit of a famous general incarnate. If he doesn't handle things well, does he deserve his reputation?

Moreover, during his lifetime, he fought against demons and monsters for countless years.

Yu Shishi was stunned...

“Tell me something valuable, like why you need protection, or what secrets you have that can’t be discovered,” Cao Le continued.

"I have a special talent that allows me to..."

"I told you, say something useful. There are no outsiders here. If you keep hiding anything, I'll arrest you right now and send you to the Magic Association for them to study."

This moth woman seems to know a lot of things.

But she has a penchant for hiding her true abilities, which Cao Le finds quite interesting. However, if she were to put on an arrogant air, she would only be asking for trouble.

Yu Shishi was stunned...

Mo Fan asked in confusion, "You know her?"

“I know a little about it. I know that Yan Si is trying to capture her, and you should have already clashed with them, right?” Cao Le said mysteriously.

"You even know this..." Mo Fan was stunned.

Zhao Manyan, who had been following Cao Le for a day, was also somewhat confused.

Because he felt that Cao Le knew a lot of things, even though he hadn't done anything.

Yu Shishi looked at Cao Le with great vigilance.

He completely ignored Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, and looked at Yu Shishi, saying, "So, you want to fight me?"

"Little vixen, I advise you not to do anything rash. If you fight me, you still have a chance to fight back. If you fight him, there's only one outcome for you," Mo Fan said, trying to comfort you.

This moth-woman wasn't exactly a saint either, but to be fair, she was forced into it. Besides, he saw how beautiful she was... so he offered a reminder.

...

326. Yu Shishi's Shock

Yu Shishi looked at Mo Fan and saw that he didn't seem to be lying at all, which made her quite curious...

"How can you be so sure I have other secrets?" Yu Shishi asked.

"You don't think I'd believe you just because you say you have a special system, that the research team will relentlessly pursue you, do you?"

Yu Shishi was speechless for a moment...

Mo Fan, looking displeased, glared at Yu Shishi.

After all, that's exactly how he was fooled!

And he actually believed it?

"Hmph, why should I tell you? Besides, you're about to be in big trouble."

Yu Shishi continued, "Further northwest lies the Southern Ridge of the Silver Sky Lord. If you kill all the Hunter-Toothed Demons, or rout them, a large flock of White Demon Eagles will soon come to seize their territory. That mountain is rich in a kind of Blue-Gold Grass Fruit, which makes your claws even sharper after eating it, and the White Demon Eagles love it... Of course, you can kill all the Hunter-Toothed Demons, but that will only attract the White Demon Eagle tribe. If you have the ability to deal with the White Demon Eagle tribe, then disregard what I said."

"Don't even mention the White Demon Eagle, I could beat the Silver Sky Lord to a pulp." As Cao Le finished speaking, he appeared in front of her.

Yu Shishi was stunned...

"Also, your arrogant attitude is really unbearable. You need something from me, so don't act like you're here to negotiate. Negotiations are only possible when we are equals."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi wanted to turn and run...

But instantly, she felt herself being suppressed.

The silvery spatial power suppressed her, rendering her completely immobile...

Silkworm threads suddenly appeared all around her, attacking Cao Le, but before they could get close, they were turned to ashes by Cao Le's blood-red flames.

When Cao Le saw the flames, he was stunned...

To be honest, he hadn't even noticed when his fire element had turned into this state.

Yu Shishi was shocked by the wave of fire...

This flame is many times hotter than Mo Fan's flame...

"I can tell you... but you have to agree to one condition..." Yu Shishi felt helpless, truly helpless.

"Speak first."

“They want to capture me, and another reason is for the totem beast…” Yu Shishi explained.

"A totem beast??" Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were both taken aback.

They were both naturally quite knowledgeable about totem beasts.

Cao Le had said that if they wanted to continue improving their strength, the best thing to do was to find a totem. Even if it wasn't a living totem, it could still provide them with some totem energy...

Yu Shishi glanced at Cao Le, then at the people behind her.

Cao Le thought for a moment, then looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "You take them to rest first."

"it is good."

Mu Ningxue nodded.

Although she knew these people wouldn't betray them, she also knew that even with a large number of people around, Moth Girl might not be able to tell.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, however, also stayed behind.

“They are both guardians of the totem, you can tell me now,” Cao Le continued.

Actually, he wasn't interested in the totem beast, because he already knew about it. However, since Yu Shishi had already brought it up, it meant that she was willing to cooperate.

It's a secret...

Just take your time and ask questions.

After Yu Shishi finished speaking, she added, "That's all I can tell you. I won't say anything else."
