Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

"Hahahaha!" Natsu scratched his head and laughed foolishly, not knowing what he was so happy about.

Lucy could only look at Zhou Lan, silently chanting in her mind, "Reject it quickly, reject it quickly, uncle! Just say you don't need the money, and that you can just throw some money at me..."

Unfortunately, Zhou Lan didn't seem to hear her thoughts and simply nodded, saying, "Okay."

Lucy was in despair.

His expression was as if he had been petrified, lost in his own dazed state.

“Um…” Natsu suddenly became hesitant, looking at Zhou Lan and Ximu with an expectant look in his eyes.

"Do you guys have a guild?" He grabbed Lucy's shoulder and pulled her to his side. "Our guild is Fairy Tail, and it's pretty strong. Want to join us?"

He seemed hesitant, but what he said was quite direct.

As a member of the Fairy Tail guild's mage class, recruiting outstanding new members is also one of the guild members' responsibilities.

Without new blood, the guild cannot move forward and become stronger, or even maintain its current status.

"Guild? What's that?" Ximu looked at Zhou Lan.

For some reason, he felt that Zhou Lan, the boss, seemed quite familiar with this place.

"I forgot to tell you," Zhou Lan explained to Xi Mu, "the mages here usually travel in groups."

He pointed at Natsu and Lucy, and Natsu immediately puffed out his chest and gave a bright smile.

He then took Lucy's arm and showed them the brand on the back of her hand.

Lucy did not resist and remained petrified.

Zhou Lan continued, "Each member who joins a guild will wear the guild's exclusive badge, which allows them to accept commissions, earn money, and even use the guild's resources for learning."

"This is also one of the survival rules for mages in this world."

"Hey, old man, I didn't expect you to know so much about these things!" Natsu gave a thumbs up.

He always held great respect for those who were both powerful and gentle and learned.

Zhou Lan undoubtedly fits this impression perfectly.

"Sounds pretty good, what do you think, boss?" Ximu looked at Zhou Lan.

"It's up to you. After all, it's about you. I don't need any other identity," Zhou Lan said with a smile.

His gaze fell on Ximu, and he said gently, "In this world, I am neither a mage nor a demon..."

Zhou Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "He's just your brother."

"Wow, that sounds amazing, boss!" Ximu exclaimed excitedly.

Unlike other demons, he seemed to have a great deal of curiosity about everything in the new world.

“Let’s go take a look. A bunch of people gathered together, it sounds like they’re playing house.” He smiled. “Ximu doesn’t dislike playing house.”

“Then it’s settled!” Natsu was excited. He quickly looked around, trying to find the carriage that had brought them here.

He was suddenly stunned for a moment.

The carriage is gone.

Apart from the craters and ravines created by Zhou Lan's battle, there was nothing else in all directions.

Perhaps the carriage escaped in the aftermath of the battle, or perhaps it was accidentally crushed by the black dragon's body; who knows?

"Hey Lucy, wake up! Our transportation is gone!" Natsu quickly patted Lucy's shoulder.

"What? How much?" Lucy was immediately freed from her petrification. "I bought this with my own money in the kingdom!"

"It must have been crushed by the evil dragon earlier, or scared away!" Natsu glanced at Zhou Lan and said honestly.

"Where's the dragon! I'm going to settle the score with him!" Lucy rolled up her sleeves, looking fierce.

After looking around, she said helplessly, "He was lucky he ran fast."

Then, with a snap, he froze again.

Chapter 300 incorporated

Regarding the matter of the vehicle running away.

Natsu was quite happy.

Firstly, he neither knows nor likes to do accounting, and he doesn't understand that after the car ran away, the commission they were owed for this trip was almost gone.

Secondly, he hates riding in cars, or rather, he hates taking any form of transportation.

This originates from the characteristics of Dragon Slayer Magic.

Dragon Slayer Mages who use Dragon Slayer Magic in this world are indeed very powerful, but similarly, all Dragon Slayer Mages have a negative effect that is both funny and frustrating.

That's motion sickness.

Whether it flies in the sky, swims in the water, or runs on the ground, riding in any object that has the characteristics of a means of transportation will make them carsick.

This is practically the only drawback of a Dragon Slayer Mage.

"Luckily, it's not far from the guild. Let's walk back, Lucy!" Natsu said enthusiastically.

“Perhaps I can give you a ride,” Ximu suddenly spoke up. “Just tell me the approximate location…”

Wings suddenly sprouted from his back, and he grabbed Natsu and Lucy with his left and right hands respectively, and flew into the sky.

"No... um..." Natsu only managed to utter one syllable before he fell into a daze.

"You idiot, is this even a means of transportation?" Lucy said, somewhat exasperated.

Zhou Lan shook her head, gazing at the distant city and west Mu's retreating figure.

He flew swiftly and caught up with it in an instant.

"I feel like I've become a little more energetic," Zhou Lan said softly, looking at west Mu's retreating figure.

There was no hope for Natsu. Guided by Lucy, Shiki landed at the entrance of a building and gently placed Natsu and Lucy on the ground, one on each side.

Although he is currently at a low point in his demon career, his physical strength has been weakened.

But that depends on who you're comparing it to.

Compared to his fellow demons, he did indeed appear somewhat weak and helpless.

After all, both Zhong Su and the Holy Lord were the kind of guys with explosive physical strength.

Not to mention a bug-level existence like Bo Gang, even Zhou Lan, although he looks tall and thin, his physical body may not be weak.

He simply disdains close combat; it doesn't suit his personality.

Things that can be solved with a flick of the finger don't necessarily require physical combat, unlike a battle mage like the Holy Lord.

Zhou Lan is more like another kind of noble mage.

For Ximu, a demon, mentioning two young boys who weren't even adults was incredibly easy.

He was just a little annoyed that people treated him as a means of transportation.

As revenge from the devil of heaven.

The evil Natsu grabbed him again and circled the city twice.

Then it flew back feeling refreshed.

As Natsu's best friend, Lucy certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

She clapped loudly and exclaimed "Great!" repeatedly.

This was a small act of revenge against Natsu for ruining her reward.

"Let's go, Natsu, let's go back and check on the big guys," Lucy said to Natsu with a smile.

"Ugh... glug glug." A string of bubbles came out of Natsu's mouth.

Lucy fanned the air in front of her nose and cheerfully dragged him into the Fairy Tail guild's gate.

Ximu curiously peeked inside, put his hands in his pockets, and strode after him.

He kicked the door open.

Lucy shouted, "Everyone! Natsu and Lucy are back!"

Boom—

The chaotic crowd in the guild paused for a moment, then resumed their noisy activities as usual.

Some were fighting, others were drinking.

Shoes, bottles, and even tables and chairs were flying everywhere.

Although she was used to it, Lucy still sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation because there were outsiders present this time.

That's how this guild is.

It was noisy and chaotic; it was more like a tavern mixed with a bunch of thugs than a guild.

They're always either fighting or on their way to drink; they're never serious.

So much so that she once doubted whether this was really the powerful guild she had dreamed of joining in the past.

"Um... come in quickly, I'll go find the president for you." Lucy's face showed apology.

Just then, an empty wine bottle flew from a distance in a beautiful parabola, hurtling towards Lucy's head.

In the instant she froze, the bottle had already flown right next to her face.

Without a sound, the bottle suddenly froze in mid-air, less than a centimeter away from Lucy's cheek.

"Thank you!" Lucy quickly looked at Zhou Lan behind her.

"No need to be polite." The other person waved his hand and tossed the bottle aside.

The next second, Lucy rolled up her sleeves and shouted angrily into the room, "Who threw that bottle!"

"It's me." A figure darted out and raised his hand.

"Very good!" Lucy stepped forward, revealing the Celestial Key at her waist, and joined the battle.

"Taurus, Talos!" With a knock, the Protoss Talos of Taurus appeared before her.

The burly, black-and-white cow-like man, wielding two axes, panted heavily and said, "Moo—"

“Miss Lucy!” Talos looked at Lucy, his eyes turning into hearts. “Long time no see! Your figure seems to have gotten even better!”

"Enough talk, get him!" Lucy kicked the lecherous cow.

Before she knew it, she seemed to be transforming from a lady from a wealthy family into someone like most people in the guild.

It has been integrated.

But she seemed to have forgotten about looking for the president earlier.

Ximu watched this scene in the guild with great shock.

It was a chaotic mess, filled with dust and smoke from a fight, and even some magical clashes.

The drunken men and women were unsteady on their feet and unable to walk.

"So this is... a guild?" Ximu seemed to have received some incredible new knowledge.

He looked at Zhou Lan, a hint of shock in his eyes.

Zhou Lan was also somewhat helpless and said, "If it doesn't work, you can create a new one yourself. After all, I can vouch for you."

Indeed, this is hardly a guild.

It was more like a brawl among petty thugs in a busy city.

“No,” Ximu suddenly said, “that’s for the future, as for now…”

"It's quite interesting, haha!" he laughed, then plunged into the chaotic smoke.

Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment.

The smoke couldn't obscure his vision; he saw Ximu rush in, grab a stranger, and start punching and kicking him wildly.

"Wait, who are you???" the man asked, bewildered as he was being beaten.

"Mind your own business with all this chatter, I'm Ximu!"
