Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Tang Zhong chose to remain silent regarding the current state of the epidemic.

This result was also very difficult for him to accept. At first, he and his clan members believed that the two bodies that were not discovered until a week later were the work of Zhu Meng.

But when he discovered that the deaths of the plague victims were identical to those of the two corpses from before, he was shocked!

It wasn't Zhu Meng who did it... Could it really be the Totem Serpent?!
Could it be that the totem serpent in its molting period has become so frenzied that it can no longer control its evil nature?!
The reports are everywhere, and all the major news media are focused on Hangzhou. In addition, the two corpses killed by the totem snake have the same symptoms as the person who died of illness. Once this news gets out, the panicked people in Hangzhou will surely launch a campaign against the totem snake!
At that time, regardless of whether the totem guardians announce the matter of the totem serpent, the totem serpent will become a complete calamity. If the government does not eradicate it, if the court does not eradicate it, the people will put enormous pressure on all the major forces, forcing them to eradicate the totem serpent.

“Alas, the totem snake has lived in West Lake for countless years, and such a plague has never appeared before... I think I should investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Tang Zhong pondered for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression and earnest tone.

"Tang Zhong!"

Seeing that Tang Zhong remained unmoved, Zhu Meng roared angrily, his beard trembling slightly, pointing at him and shouting furiously.

"You're still protecting that totem serpent? Do you even understand the current situation? The number of infected people has reached 1,324. Can you imagine that in a week, all 1,324 people will be turned into corpses like this? As the chief judge of Lingyin Temple, are you really going to stick to that ridiculous ancestral teaching and watch these people die?"

Tang Zhong, observing Zhu Meng's angry expression, stepped forward, revealing the demeanor of a presiding judge, and explained word by word.

"Perhaps it seems to inhabit our city now, but in fact, the existence of the totem serpent predates our humans by countless centuries. Our ancestors sought the protection of the totem serpent, which is why they were able to survive in the cruel territory ruled by demons and establish Hangzhou here, living in peace and prosperity."

"Although this period is not recorded in history, we have kept it in mind for generations to come!"

"I understand that the Totem Serpent is the most likely culprit in this plague, but please allow me a little more time. I will have Tang Yue bring back some of the Totem Serpent's bodily fluids from when it molted."

"If antibodies can be extracted from them, the spread of this plague can be prevented. But in any case, I still beg you, Congressman Zhumeng, not to kill them all!"

Given what had happened, all Tang Zhong, as the patriarch of the totem clan, could do was save the life of the totem black serpent.

Even if it was the cause of this plague, it cannot kill the totem snake; its existence is of great significance to the entire city of Hangzhou.

Without this totem serpent, this city would have been riddled with holes and might not have existed at all, due to countless wars throughout history.

Tang Zhong now has only one request: to spare its life!

Let them drive them away; it's better than being killed by humans...

"Your Honor, you think too leniently of me. The strategy of eliminating hidden dangers means eradicating them completely. How can you be sure that this totem serpent won't come back, or that it won't take its anger out on humanity because we drove it away?"

"Once its molting period is over, this totem serpent will be unstoppable. Do you think your pitiful offerings will be enough to persuade it then?"

"I'm sorry, but I, Zhu Meng, would never joke with the lives of the people. I must kill this totem serpent!"

Zhu Meng was equally unyielding, his eyes widening as he spoke with unwavering resolve.

"Then I'm afraid I can't tell you where the Totem Serpent is. Whether you want to arrest me or take full responsibility for this plague, I will not reveal its whereabouts to you." Tang Zhong's attitude was equally resolute; he even stretched out his hands, closed his eyes, and said with an indifferent expression.
Tang Zhong knew the history of this city better than anyone else. He firmly believed that the totem black snake was a blessing to this city, not a disease!

Even if it has committed crimes, as long as it hasn't caused a major disaster, humans have no right to execute it!

"Fine...fine, Tang Zhong, you've got guts, just you wait!"

Seeing Tang Zhong's defiant attitude, Zhu Meng pointed at him, his face contorted with rage, uttered a harsh remark, and slammed the door shut as he left.

In Baizhen, it was already early morning. A few rays of weak sunlight shone through the tightly closed curtains and onto the soft, wide bed.

On the large bed, a man and a woman were fast asleep, embracing each other tightly.

A moment later, Moye suddenly felt a tight, enveloping sensation and a caressing feeling, and slowly opened her closed eyes.

After a moment of blankness, his thoughts gradually cleared, and he immediately realized where the feeling of being enveloped and touched came from, so he couldn't help but look down.

The belt that was originally tied around the male dog's waist to hold the bathrobe loosened long ago, exposing his glistening skin, especially his eye-catching and alluring pectoral and abdominal muscles, as well as his astonishing size!

Suddenly, his expression changed, he groaned, and his body stiffened even more.

Seeing the jade-like hand twitching haphazardly under the covers, his eyes twitched involuntarily. He glanced at Tang Yue, who was clearly fast asleep, with some drool still lingering at the corner of her mouth, probably having some sweet dreams.

With a helpless sigh, Mo Xie released her slender waist, gently removed Tang Yue's hand from her abdomen, and then slowly pried open her other hand before letting out a breath.

He gently lifted her head, pulled his arm back from the pillow, and carefully covered her body with the blanket before sitting up in bed.

After relieving the intense energy of the early morning, Moye finally got up and dressed.

"Hmm~ Little Xie, don't go..."

Perhaps the noise was a bit too loud, because a charming moan came from beside her, sparking all sorts of fantasies.

Tang Yue raised a slender arm to support herself on the bed, sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at Mo Xie with a languid expression.

The blanket slipped off quietly, and a corner of her pajamas was slightly disheveled. Her fair skin, like mutton fat jade, revealed her rounded and smooth shoulders, and half of her plump and full breasts were clearly visible, incredibly alluring.

Mo Xie put on her shoes, stood up, turned to look at the sleepy-eyed Tang Yue, and said with a smile.

"Hurry up and get dressed and wash up, we're getting ready to leave."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue immediately perked up, obediently nodded, and put on her clothes. (End of Chapter)
