Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

During my time in the military region, although I trained and did missions with everyone, the missions were mostly patrols, and I had no chance to fight demons, so it had no effect on my cultivation.

Mo Xie wanted Zu Xingyi to give him some missions to fight demons, but he said that these missions were useless to him right now. He suggested that he take the opportunity to calm down and consolidate his newly broken through summoning cultivation.

Mo Xie was unhappy about this, which led him to go to even farther places every day to fight demons. Over time, news spread throughout the military that a new recruit was going out every day to actively seek out demons to fight.

The veterans were all surprised and shocked when they heard the news, as there were actually new recruits who were willing to take the initiative to seek out demons.

Isn't this how all new recruits are now? It's one thing to be so competitive in school, but to want to keep being competitive in the military is unacceptable. Don't these veterans have any pride?

The veterans, fully equipped and ready to go, swarmed out, eager to find demons to fight and show the new recruits in the army how formidable they were, thus establishing their authority.

Upon learning of their comrades' incredible bravery, some of the new recruits, possessing a certain spirit, also set off in groups to seek out demons for training, unwilling to be outdone.

When Mo Xie saw a group of people coming to snatch the demon from him, he was dumbfounded and furious!
No, why did the track suddenly change? Why are you guys trying to steal monsters?!

Over time, the entire military region actually turned into a monster-slaying competition between new recruits and veterans, making the long-silent military headquarters quite lively.

One day, Mo Xie was in his room, meditating and practicing magic, when there was a knock on the door and Luo Yunbo's voice came in.

"Xiao Xie, Boss Zhan Kong wants you to go see him."

"Okay, Brother Luo, I understand."

After changing her clothes and tidying up her room, Mo Xie went out and headed towards Zu Xingyi's office.

I arrived at the office, knocked on the door, and went inside.

"Master, is there something you need?"

"You've been complaining lately that you don't have any missions, well, now your mission has arrived."

Zhan Kong put down his pen and said with a smile.

"Finally, a mission?!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's face showed an excited expression.

"Ah."

Zhan Kong nodded, then rubbed his temples with a headache and asked irritably.

Have you been to Dongting Lake a few times recently?

Mo Xie blinked, somewhat puzzled, but still nodded in agreement and answered.

"I've been going to Dongting Lake quite a lot lately, mainly because the people from the military region keep competing with me for the demon-hunting spots, so I have no choice but to go to Dongting Lake... What's wrong?"

Zhan Kong thought to himself, "As expected," and sighed helplessly. He took a file from the drawer, handed it to Mo Xie, and said...

"See for yourself."

Mo Xie opened the file, glanced through it, and her lips twitched involuntarily a few times.

The Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake... What is this thing? How did this title end up on me?
"Do you know what the harm is in drastically reducing the number of a certain type of demon?"

Mo Xie thought for a moment, nodded, and said.

"Disrupting the balance of the ecosystem."

"That's right, to be precise, it's about the balance between demons. Reducing the number of Lizardhead Giants will only cause their hostile demons to proliferate and grow, which will definitely attract the attention of the military."

"so?"

Mo Xie roughly understood the contents of the mission, and still asked.

"So, your mission this time is to go to Dongting Lake and solve the problem of the disrupted ecosystem balance. You have to take responsibility for your own actions... By the way, Xiao Hou will also be going with you. As for Xiao Yu, her water system is about to break through to the second level of the intermediate stage. I'll leave her at the military headquarters to cultivate quietly."

"Okay, I'm fine."

That evening, the military held a bonfire party as usual. After all, most of the people there were originally Zu Xingyi's subordinates. Even those who came later were attracted by this custom and quickly integrated into the party.

At the dining table, Mo Xie sat there, toying with an ancient token in his hand, on which was engraved the character "Ancestor".

"What's wrong? You've been staring at this token. Have you used it in Shanghai?"

Zu Xingyi walked over, sat down next to Mo Xie, downed the wine in his cup, looked at the token he had given her, and asked with a smile.

"No, but..."

Mo Xie twirled the token between his fingers, a strange glint in his eyes, then turned to look at Zu Xingyi and said with a smile.

"It will be able to play its first role immediately." —

The familiar birdsong filled my ears; it belonged to the little creatures that lived in the large sycamore tree in the center of the courtyard. They seemed to have grown up, and their voices had become more mature.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the potted plant by the window that brought me a pleasant fragrance all night long. It seemed that a maid had been watering it while I was away, and it had grown quite well.

The room was filled with familiar scents: the smell of the blankets, the lingering fragrance, the sachet by the pillow…

"Miss is awake! Miss is awake!"

Just as Mu Ningxue regained some consciousness, she heard the maid shouting outside.

Then she heard the sound of people going up the stairs. A moment later, Mu Zhuoyun, who looked tired and older than his age, rushed in excitedly.

"You're awake, my dear daughter, you're finally awake!"

Mu Zhuoyun walked to the bedside and said with great concern.

"dad……"

Mu Ningxue slightly raised the corners of her mouth, which could be considered a smile.

"I'm never letting you go on any training missions again, absolutely not!"

Mu Zhuoyun said with a bitter face, full of regret.

Mu Ningxue is still in a daze. After returning home, she fainted due to the shock.

After a moment of stunned silence, the first thing that came to mind was that familiar figure... That's right, Mo Xie!

"Dad, where's Moye... Is there any news about Moye?!"

Mu Ningxue's pretty face showed anxiety as she tried to get up and asked urgently.

"This, this..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhuoyun hesitated, as if he was reluctant to speak.

"Dad, tell me quickly!"

Mu Ningxue's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her tone became firm.

"Actually, I asked Zhan Kong, but he didn't seem to say anything. I don't know what happened. Ning Xue, don't worry, maybe Mo Xie..."

Mu Zhuoyun wanted to say something more, but the words wouldn't come out.

Some time ago, he even had a special chat with Mo Jiaxing, saying that since Mu Ningxue liked Mo Xie so much, he should ask Mo Jiaxing to help them get together.

The two men were just talking about their children's marriages, but who could have guessed that it would end like this?

"Is he...is he really dead?"

Mu Ningxue asked the question with trembling hands. She simply couldn't believe that Mo Xie was dead, but who could explain why the summoned beast left on its own?

"Don't be too sad... I know you really like Mo Xie. Actually... think about it, maybe Mo Xie isn't dead after all... Sigh, never mind."

Mu Zhuoyun wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but in the end he sighed and waved his hand.

Mu Ningxue rested her chin on her knees, gazing absently out the window, her mind replaying the conversation and embrace between the two of them outside the church that day.

He had clearly seen a glimmer of hope, but he couldn't verify it himself, and that became his last words to himself.

All the little bit of expectation has vanished completely, leaving only memories etched deep in my mind.

"Ning Xue, please don't use the Ice Crystal Bow again for a year. Although your father also hopes that you can gain a foothold in the entire Mu Group, he doesn't want to see anything happen to you!"

“Our little family is already declining, it’s nothing. We’re living under the roof of the Mu clan in the capital. As long as we’re all doing well, Dad will be content.”

Mu Zhuoyun stroked his daughter's head and said earnestly.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

Mu Ningxue's beautiful eyes were vacant as she nodded blankly, her mind still replaying some of the somewhat innocent things that happened between her and Mo Xie when they were young.

Mu Zhuoyun sighed, and without disturbing Mu Ningxue's rest any longer, left the room.

He knew his daughter was surely reminiscing about the boy who had shown her the beauty of the world… (End of Chapter)
