Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 316 Going Home
The morning light pierced through the thin mist.

In a small town next to Asuka Base City.

A young man and a young woman on a country road.

"just in front!"

Ding Yumin held Lin Ming's arm with one hand, pointed forward with the other, and showed a look of nostalgia on her face.

Lin Ming's gaze pierced through the thin mist and he saw a small house.

The house is small, a stone hut built by the villagers themselves, and it looks quite old.

Although the house is small, the yard is quite large, almost two or three times the size of the house.

The two entered the courtyard, and the first thing they saw was a small, low mound of earth and weeds growing in the crevices beside it.

The weeds that reached his ankles gently brushed against Lin Ming's skin.

Lin Ming looked around and seemed to have discovered something.

Do you come every year?

Weeds in the south grow very quickly, but these weeds only reach ankle height, and their growth period should be about six months.

Sure enough, Ding Yumin nodded, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Since I was able to control my emotions, I have come back several times a year. The most recent time was about half a year ago."

Lin Ming gently patted her head: "Alright, don't be sad, let's start weeding."

“Okay.” Ding Yumin nodded, naturally picked up the gloves, put them on, and then handed a pair to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming did not refuse, and gently took the gloves and began weeding.

Although both of them were mages, they used the most traditional methods to weed.

A shovel, a spade.

The yard was quickly cleaned up, leaving no trace of mess or desolation.

After cleaning, the two sat on a stone in the yard and chatted casually.

“This big rock has been here for a very, very long time. It’s said that Grandpa brought it back back then.” Ding Yumin patted the big rock under her bottom: “When I was little, I often sat on this rock and waited for Grandma to come back.”

"Actually, my grandma was quite fierce. I often saw her arguing with others in the village, and in the end, she always won the argument."

The rock was very high, and Ding Yumin sat on it, her long, fair legs swaying back and forth.

"But she never scolded me, probably because if I cried, she would cry too."

Ding Yumin looked up at the sky, her hand unconsciously resting on Lin Ming's leg.

"Is that so? Since there are so many of your memories here, it would be such a waste to just leave it to waste."

As the fog gradually dissipated, Lin Ming looked at the clear sky and made a suggestion.

"Huh? You mean you're staying here?" Ding Yumin asked, puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "I still have classes at Mingzhu. I'm a teaching assistant, you know."

"It's alright. It won't take long for the winged magical artifact to fly over. I can even set up a spatial teleportation array between here and my apartment in Shanghai."

Lin Ming shrugged; this was a piece of cake for him.

"Forget it, we can just come back a few more times. There's no need to make a fuss."

Ding Yumin shook her head and refused.

Lin Ming smiled slightly: "Actually, this isn't entirely for you. Hua Junshou came to me before, hoping I could help protect a city in the event of a potential crisis." "Crisis? Protect a city?" Ding Yumin tilted her head to look at Lin Ming, her eyes clearly showing her doubt.

“Yes, with rising sea levels, these coastal cities might all be attacked by sea monsters.” Lin Ming turned to Ding Yumin, a hint of mockery in his eyes: “Miss Ding Yumin, you wouldn’t want your hometown to be attacked by sea monsters, would you?”

Ding Yumin rolled her eyes at him, but her attention was focused on the beginning of Lin Ming's words, and she couldn't help but look a little worried.

"If the siren invades, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to protect a city?"

"Don't worry, protecting a city is quite easy for me with my abilities." Lin Ming smiled and said, "The only coastal city I really care about is Shanghai, but Shanghai is full of big shots and doesn't really need me. Now, this city is not bad either. I can complete the mission for Chief Hua and also take you on vacation back home."

Of course, neither of these two reasons is the most important.

The chief of the Huajun army said it was a request to protect the city, but in reality, all that was needed was for the Star Language Giant Tree to intervene once during a crisis.

As for Ding Yumin's old house, with her spatial cultivation, she could easily move the entire house to another location.

Most importantly, there is the Suiren Wood that is currently radiating heat in the Linming Fire System Star Sea!
After obtaining the piece of wood yesterday, Lin Ming gained its approval and successfully stored it in the Fire Star Sea.

The Suirenmu tree can only quietly warm the fire-type star sea of ​​Yanglin Ming.

However, the moment Lin Ming conceived the idea of ​​protecting a city, the energy released by the Suiren Wood increased several times!

Lin Ming quickly understood.

Suirenshi brought fire to protect humankind, and if one wants to absorb the power of Suirenmu, one must emulate Suirenshi and protect one's own territory!
Lin Ming's original first target was Shanghai, but Shanghai was too dangerous. He figured he'd be lucky not to die there, let alone find shelter there.

Therefore, Asuka City, which is also a coastal base city, is one of Lin Ming's best choices.

Now, because of Ding Yumin, there's another reason to choose Asuka Base City.

As night fell, after resting, Lin Ming once again embarked on his journey to improve his strength.

There's still some time before the siren invasion, so he must use this time to improve his strength.

At least the fire element needs to break through to the third level of the super-tier!
"Lingling has gone out again."

In the Qingtian Demon Hunting Bureau of Shanghai, Lin Ming, who was looking for a breakthrough opportunity, sat in the bureau's reception room chatting with Old Man Bao, who was constantly stirring coffee.

"Yeah, but isn't your progress a bit too fast?"

Old Bao held a long silver spoon in his hand, gently stirring his coffee. He slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Ming.

This guy broke through to the Super-Order level before, but in the blink of an eye, he directly reached the third level of the Super-Order level in two elements and the second level of the Super-Order level in one element!

That speed is a bit scary!

Lin Ming just chuckled and didn't continue the conversation, directly changing the subject.

"Where did Lingling go? Doesn't she usually have to go to school?"

Old Bao glanced at him, his lips twitching slightly.

This kid has the nerve to say that! He was the one who abducted his own granddaughter the longest!
"If I didn't know your character, I would have thought you were plotting against my granddaughter!" Old Bao sighed. "He went to the Qinling Mountains. It seems that Mo Fan has discovered something in the Qinling Mountains."

Qinling Mountains?

Lin Ming then remembered the divine deer totem of the Qinling Mountains.

But the divine deer totem doesn't seem to have anything to do with his three-legged golden crow totem!
However, the fruit of the Divine Tree might be of some use to the Star Language Giant Tree.

It just so happens that I seem to owe someone a promise.
