Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I just brought you breakfast, and then I'm leaving." Cao Le handed over the breakfast he brought and said, going along with her words.

Tang Yue didn't refuse; as she took it, she gave a soft "humph."

...

43. Money comes fast, but goes fast!

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly realized that the breakfast was still warm??

Cao Le was already standing there when she opened the window. He might have even arrived earlier, but why was the breakfast still warm?

"When did you arrive?" Tang Yue asked again.

"Oh, I just got here. I was just about to call you when you came out," Cao Le replied.

"real??"

Seeing Cao Le lying without even blushing, Tang Yue felt that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have almost believed him!

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Eat something first." Cao Le didn't respond to her words.

After all, he knew she was watching him, so how could he possibly respond to that?

"I saw you when I opened the window earlier," Tang Yue said again.

"Huh? Is that so..." Cao Le looked at Tang Yue in surprise, glancing at the window where Tang Yue was looking.

"You've been here for so long, why didn't you call me?" Tang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with Cao Le's reaction and continued to ask.

"It's not that you don't want to see me, but you're also afraid of waking me up..." Cao Le quickly explained.

"Hmph, just pretend yesterday's events never happened. From now on, we'll still just be teacher and student, nothing will change." Tang Yue was quite angry seeing Cao Le looking like he'd done something wrong!

It's as if the person riding on my back yesterday wasn't this bastard!

"That's impossible. I'm not a machine. How can I pretend nothing happened?" Cao Le immediately rejected Tang Yue's suggestion.

Especially knowing full well that she has feelings for him, yet pretending that there's nothing between them, I really don't know what this woman is thinking.

"I am your teacher..."

"It could also be a wife."

Tang Yue blushed slightly, lowered her head, and said shyly, "You wish..."

Seeing her shy demeanor, and considering it was early in the morning, plus Tang Yue had specially dressed up, Cao Le felt he simply couldn't suppress the feelings deep within him...

Without hearing Cao Le speak, Tang Yue looked up and realized that this guy seemed to have another idea!

"What are you looking at!" But having already experienced it the first time, Tang Yue was not particularly resistant to his expression.

"Yueyue, you're so beautiful," Cao Le praised.

"Call me teacher!" Tang Yue said, feeling ashamed and indignant.

"If you like, that's fine too. After all, I quite like calling you Teacher Tang Yue~"

It's unclear whether Cao Le was following Tang Yue's idea or had his own, but he didn't seem to object at all to the way he addressed her.

Tang Yue wasn't completely clueless; especially seeing his lecherous and roguish appearance, she immediately realized what Cao Le meant.

She glared at him and said, "You little brat, don't go too far."

“Teacher Tang Yue, that’s not right of you. You’re the one who told me to call you teacher. I did what you said, so how is that wrong?” Cao Le retorted.

"If I say it's wrong, then it's wrong!"

"Okay, okay... if it's wrong, it's wrong. Why don't you have some breakfast first?"

Have you eaten?

"You haven't eaten, how can I eat alone?"

"Let's go together then..."

"Good~"

...

With that, the two returned to the apartment.

After breakfast, the two strolled along the West Lake together. Tang Yue seemed to have forgotten about making Cao Le leave.

Although he was still chased away in the evening after a day of sightseeing, Cao Le knew that at least the magic energy he had used in the morning had not been wasted.

Tang Yue was quite grateful.

It's quite puzzling that having such a beautiful woman by your side from morning till night, yet still not being able to satisfy your cravings.

Although we've already had it, how can one time be enough?

He never considered himself a man who knew when to stop; on the contrary, he was always the kind of man who was insatiable.

Being too content with what you have isn't necessarily a good thing.

For the next few days, Cao Le continued to stay with Tang Yue. With Xin Xia by her side, he didn't need to worry. After all, cultivation requires proper rest; too much of anything is bad.

Tang Yue's attitude changed daily, but overall it was still relatively good. Even Cao Le could tell that this woman was a hypocrite. She had clearly accepted him in her heart, but she still pretended to be indifferent.

That's pretty outrageous...

The most outrageous thing is that it can only smell the aroma, but doesn't satisfy the craving, making Cao Le feel that he might as well go back and stay with Xin Xia.

Although it can't really satisfy her craving, Xinxia still won't refuse to indulge in it.

Of course, he didn't stay there for long. As a member of the Tribunal, Tang Yue still had her own tasks to complete.

After capturing Chao He, they only got some time to rest.

As for Chao He's stolen goods, Tang Yue didn't inquire about them. Clearly, they were simply stolen.

That makes sense, considering she didn't lift a finger when dealing with Chao He. Giving her the credit is already quite generous!

However, Cao Le naturally wouldn't discuss such matters in detail with him.

She didn't fight with Chao He, but didn't she later get involved with Cao Le?

...

After being away for seven days, Cao Le returned to Shanghai and thanked Xin Xia profusely. If Cao Ying hadn't suddenly appeared, his second sister-in-law would probably have already been caught.

However, such opportunities were not lacking, and he didn't need to rush. He then continued to focus on his secluded cultivation.

Mo Gouzi seems to have already reached the intermediate level of both lightning and fire attributes thanks to the connection with the Earthly Sacred Spring, while I am only at the intermediate level of shadow attribute. How can I not work hard?

Of course, the first thing to do upon returning was to deal with the spoils of this trip.

They earned a total of 60 million in revenue!

Leaving Bocheng, he became a multi-millionaire in the blink of an eye. When he saw the balance on his card, he trembled uncontrollably.

This was the first time in his life that he had ever seen so much money.

However, having money doesn't mean you can keep it. He went to an auction house owned by the Zhao family in Shanghai and happened to come across a space crystal.

Such things are generally not available in China, after all, there are very few space mages in China.

Space crystals can enhance mental power and aid in improving spatial cultivation. Of course, these stones are also divided into nine grades.

The piece being auctioned in front of us is clearly the lowest grade.

This amount of resources is practically useless to someone cultivating spatial abilities, yet it was still auctioned off for fifty million...

But Cao Le still bought it in the end; after all, something is better than nothing!

After purchasing the space crystal, Cao Le also bought some auxiliary items for shadow-type cultivation. When he left the auction house, he had about a million coins left in his account...

The money came quickly, but it went away just as quickly. Moreover, the resources bought for tens of millions might not even help him much...

Being a mage is indeed an expensive profession. Without the support of a powerful force, the early stages of training are extremely difficult.

On the other hand, while grassroots mages may not be able to obtain resources worth tens of millions, let alone hundreds of millions, once they climb into this field on their own, they can rely on their own strength to continuously acquire resources. This ability to acquire resources independently is far greater than that of the offspring who constantly demand from aristocratic families.

Cultivation is not something that can be achieved entirely by throwing resources at it. If you have a bad foundation, no matter how much money you throw at it, it will be a waste. Mages who cultivate on their own understand better how to find the rules of advancement in the vast starry sky and how to achieve self-breakthrough in battle. Even if they are covered in wounds, they will eventually be reborn at some point. At that time, they will completely leave behind their peers who rely on their families!

Coupled with his innate talent, Cao Le felt that he would grow to be far more powerful than joining the Inquisition Council!

...

44. Treasures and Crisis

After parting ways in Hangzhou, Cao Le settled down at home and focused on his cultivation.

Of course, since Mo Gouzi was doing something else afterward, leaving early and returning late, it also gave Cao Le the opportunity to steal a kiss.

Sure enough, without Mo Gouzi getting in the way, Xin Xia, that little lamb, was still completely subdued.

Of course, Xinxia was originally quite obedient.

However, what's frustrating is that this girl can offer Cao Le some perks, but she just won't allow him to take that final step.

But as the saying goes, for every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below.

Xinxia refused to go there, but what about her little hand?

Once your little hands are skilled, you'll have a little mouth too, right?

This innocent little lamb was unknowingly led into the mud, without even realizing it, she was becoming increasingly indulgent towards Cao Le.

In fact, if it weren't for that bratty little sister Cao Ying, they almost wouldn't have made it past the final hurdle!

It was also because of Xin Xia's companionship that even the tedious process of secluded meditation became more enjoyable.

...

Another six months passed, and his spatial system finally reached the third level of perfection. Cao Le then took out the spatial crystal that he had bought long ago but had not used until now.

The materials used in the Shadow element were quite ordinary and did not significantly expand his nebula.

Cao Le didn't actually have high hopes for this spatial crystal.

When Cao Le took out the crystal, he didn't notice that some of the rust on it had unknowingly diminished considerably...

Moreover, this spatial crystal also emitted a subtle vibration.
