Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends
Chapter 233 Heading to Asuka City
Magic City, Qingtian Hunting House.
"Grandpa Bao, Uncle Qin, Sister Leng Qing, Happy New Year!"
"You little rascal, it took you so long to remember us."
"Yes, Lingling is sulking, saying you haven't come to see her."
"Haha, really."
Mo Xie smiled slightly when she heard Song Qiming and Qin Zhan teasing her.
Leng Qing didn't join in the teasing, but quietly made Mo Xie a glass of his favorite fresh orange juice, showing her gentle and virtuous nature.
"Thank you, Sister Leng Qing."
Mo Xie took the fresh orange juice, looked around, and asked in confusion.
Where is Lingling?
"She stayed up late last night and is still sleeping in... By the way, you should know that Salang is likely to make a move against you, right?"
At this moment, Leng Qing changed her gentle older sister demeanor, revealing the stern and murderous aura of a judge.
"Yes, Sister Tang Yue has already told me."
Mo Xie gripped the cup tightly and nodded solemnly.
He was actually quite surprised that Aunt Ye would actually try to harm him...
Although Mo Xie's intuition told her that Aunt Ye would never harm her, she couldn't rule out the possibility that someone else was plotting something.
Most people know that he possesses the Holy Spring, so the Black Vatican has no reason to let this go easily!
Song Qiming slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said to Mo Xie.
“I told Dasheng about this, and he said he was very willing to help and would protect you secretly.”
Qin Zhan shrugged and spoke up as well.
“I think Xiao Xie is quite safe. He stays at Mingzhu Academy during the day, so he won’t be in any danger. Besides, he stays near Qingtian Hunting Grounds at night, so with us around, he’s unlikely to get into any trouble.”
Leng Qing was displeased; she was very worried about Xiao Xie's safety and retorted.
"What if we get ambushed on the way? And given the Black Vatican's ruthless methods, they might just take action right here at Pearl Academy!"
Sister Leng Qing, do you really want something to happen to me?
Mo Xie's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, and she quickly smiled and comforted him.
"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but there's no need to arrange for covert protection. I have the ability to protect myself. I actually hope that the Black Vatican can take the initiative to step forward."
Qin Zhan raised an eyebrow, understanding the meaning behind Mo Xie's words.
"You mean...you're going to be the bait?"
Mo Xie nodded seriously and explained.
“That’s right. The Black Vatican is the biggest threat because it’s always in the shadows. It’s better to bring it out into the open, because that’s an advantage.”
He wasn't too worried about the Black Vatican's plot; he was more interested in seeing what tricks they could pull.
My father and Ye Xinxia will also send people to protect me secretly, not because they are afraid something will happen, but simply as a precaution.
This time, the Black Vatican is taking action in Shanghai, so there's a chance they might be able to eradicate it completely.
Song Qiming took a puff of his pipe, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Your idea is indeed good. Alright, since you choose not to need protection, then so be it."
"Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa Bao."
After thanking him, Mo Xie turned to Leng Qing and asked.
"Sister Leng Qing, are you free today? I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Of course I'm free. What can I do for you?"
"I bought Asuka City, and the siren threat in that city has always existed. This time, I want to get rid of it completely."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan remembered the incident, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
"That's right, Xiao Xie, you became the mayor of Feibiao City at such a young age, unlike me who is just an honorary mayor of Shanghai. Your future is limitless!"
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was praising Mo Xie or himself.
"The problem with Feiniao City isn't actually that big, but the higher-ups have always been unwilling to spend a lot of money to solve the threat of the sea monsters, which has prevented the city from developing. Even with the support of the Lin Group, it's still a second- or third-tier city," Song Qiming said slowly, recalling the information about Feiniao City.
"Yes, I chose to buy it because I saw the future potential of Asuka City."
Leng Qing didn't think about such complicated things; she only knew that her younger brother needed help, and she would do her best to help.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with this."
"Thank you, Sister Leng Qing."
There are two reasons why Leng Qing was chosen to help. First, she is one of the best high-level mages and has no problem dealing with the siren. Second, she is the vice judge and there are some things that need to be witnessed by her.
We can bring Leng Lingling along too; having her as an external brain will make this operation much easier.
As everyone was chatting, a series of light footsteps came from the stairwell behind them.
Leng Lingling's hair was disheveled and loose, not tied in the classic pigtails, but it had a unique beauty.
She was wearing cute pink pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and walked over in a daze.
When she drove into the living room, there was another person there. She was stunned for a few seconds, and a look of confusion appeared on her cute little face.
Upon seeing who it was, her cheeks flushed red, and she stammered as she spoke.
"Mo...Mo Xie, how...how..."
"Lingling, Happy New Year."
Mo Xie smiled slightly and raised his hand to greet him.
After realizing what had happened, she hurriedly tidied her messy hair, but then stopped, pouted her cherry lips, and without even glancing at Mo Xie, walked to the bar and sat down.
"What, are you still angry with me?"
Mo Xie placed a cup of warmed milk in front of her and asked with a smile.
Leng Lingling kept her eyes straight ahead, sipping her milk in small sips without saying a word.
Mo Xie chuckled softly and said in a very regretful tone.
"Alright, since someone is unhappy, then I'll just have to go monster hunting with Sister Leng Qing."
Upon hearing the words "demon hunting," Leng Lingling's expression immediately changed. Her bright eyes lit up, and her little face was filled with excitement.
"I want to go, I want to go! Brother, you're the best to me!"
"I'll go and get my things first."
She finished a glass of milk in one go and ran upstairs to change her clothes.
Without further ado, after packing their belongings, Mo Xie and the other two boarded the high-speed train from Shanghai to Feibiao City.
On the bullet train, Leng Lingling had a mini laptop on her lap, reporting the information she had collected.
"Asuka City is a newly built city in recent years. It has a superior geographical location and should theoretically be a well-developed city. However, in recent years, the threat of sea monsters has hindered its development, and there have even been several cases of sea monsters killing people. What is most hateful is that the leaders of Asuka City have been indifferent to this!"
Leng Qingdai frowned slightly and said in a cold voice.
"There will always be selfish people in the world who, despite holding high positions, disregard the plight of ordinary people and are unwilling to even spend money to ensure their safety!"
Some islands outside Asuka City, which were previously considered ecological islands, will be incorporated into Ankai and offered to certain tourists.
However, after frequent incidents in recent years, the security perimeter has been extended to the coast, and those scattered deserted islands have become a land of demons.
The shrinking of the security perimeter naturally caused great hardship for some coastal boats and fishermen, and also affected the transportation of a city, making it impossible for anyone to do business there.
In recent years, most of the major investors in Asuka City have left, and only large conglomerates like the Lin family are struggling to keep the city afloat and forcibly using money to maintain the appearance of a thriving situation.
It wasn't that the higher-ups didn't mobilize to exterminate the demons, but the people they sent either returned empty-handed or were inexplicably attacked. After several such incidents, few people were willing to go out to sea to kill demons anymore.
Add to that factors like corruption, and it's simply impossible for them to afford the high price to hire a master hunter; even the Lin Group can't afford it.
"The purpose of this trip is to rectify the situation; I want to change the current state of Asuka City."
Mo Xie rested her chin on her hand, watching the scenery rushing past the car window, her thoughts drifting.
He knew that this maritime scare was connected to an even bigger conspiracy.
It's not just about missing babies; it also includes the international Bad Lang Guild, and even Su Lu, who is plotting huge ambitions!
In short, let's hope this operation goes smoothly...
