Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 251 Apas, the Protector of Her Mother, and Blanche, the Forgotten Concubine
"Get up." Wang Feng raised his hand to help Alice up, the holy light flowing from his fingertips gently lifting her up.

He scrutinized his newly acquired imperial-level maid with intense eyes.

Unlike Apas's youthful innocence, the Mother of Medusa exudes the unique charm of a mature woman.

She possesses the typical features of a Mediterranean beauty—skin as radiant as the moonlight over the Aegean Sea, blonde hair like flowing honey, and a voluptuous figure that perfectly embodies the phrase "too much would be too fat, too little would be too thin."

The tattered clothes left from the fierce battle only added to her disheveled beauty.

Skin glimpsed through the gaps in the fabric shimmered with a pearly sheen, and her long, slender legs were breathtakingly beautiful.

Even her bare feet were exquisitely crafted, like works of art, with her rounded toes neatly arranged and slightly curled up on the sand.

This is practically a larger version of Apas, but with a touch more of the charm that comes with age.

Wang Feng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a glint of intense light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Wang Feng felt a slight tug on the hem of his clothes.

He glanced to the side and met Apas's chubby little face.

The girl's golden eyes widened, staring at him warily like a small, agitated animal. Her slender fingers gripped the hem of his robe tightly, and her entire body radiated hostility that said, "Don't bully the Queen Mother."

"What? Want to be a little warrior protecting your mother?" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

Apas nodded vigorously, and the golden bells hanging from the ends of her hair trembled slightly, making a soft, clear sound.

“Okay.” A mischievous glint flashed in Wang Feng’s eyes as he continued to transmit his voice, “I agree to leave Alice alone for the time being. However, that depends on your performance.”

The girl's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and her red lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

But soon, she took a deep breath, tilted her little face up, and solemnly nodded—

(I'm willing to do anything to protect my mother!)

Alice lowered her long eyelashes and clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, performing an ancient and elegant gesture:

"Would you be willing to visit the Evil Temple, Master? My deepest secret is hidden there."

The evil temple she mentioned was the Temple of Twilight.

Wang Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Lead the way."

"As ordered."

Alice turned gracefully, her long golden hair shimmering with a mysterious luster in the dim light.

She led Wang Feng into the depths of the temple, where exquisite relief murals on the walls of the corridors on both sides gradually unfolded as they walked.

The text states that the original Medusa were a group of human mages specializing in mental and curse magic, who served as priests to the Serpent Ancestor.

Alice was chosen as a sacrifice and underwent a metamorphosis inside the belly of the venomous patriarch, eventually becoming the first Medusa.

This evil temple was built by Pharaoh Khufu after her transformation, as her residence and a symbol of her authority.

As they ventured deeper, the long corridor suddenly opened up, revealing a magnificent, all-black serpentine throne standing majestically in the center of the hall.

Its shape is both ferocious and beautiful, with every line seemingly writhing like a living creature, exuding a chilling aura.

Two giant snake statues were coiled on the armrest of the throne, their eyes inlaid with blood-red gems, gleaming with an eerie light in the darkness, as if they were about to awaken and devour someone at any moment.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are engraved behind the throne, recording secret information about the lineage of the evil holy king.

“Master, this place enshrines the legacy of the Evil Saint King, as well as the throne of my subordinates,” Alice respectfully introduced.

Wang Feng remained indifferent, showing no interest whatsoever in the so-called inheritance of the Evil Saint King.

But his gaze lingered for a moment on the vast throne—its size seemed large enough to accommodate both Apas and Alice together…

"How many of the eight souls of the Evil Saint King have you collected?" Wang Feng suddenly asked.

"Eight-eight souls?" Alice looked bewildered, a hint of confusion flashing in her golden eyes. Wang Feng remained silent for a moment, finally understanding why Medusa's mother, who had possessed the Evil Saint King's legacy for a thousand years, ultimately had her reward stolen by Mo Fan.

It turns out she knew nothing about the true meaning of inheritance.

"Forget it, the Evil Saint King is nothing special, not worth the trouble." Wang Feng waved his hand listlessly.

Alice instinctively wanted to argue, but remembering that even Khufu, who was closest to Hades, had died by Wang Feng's sword, she swallowed her words of rebuttal.

"Go and reorganize the Serpent Empire first. With Sisina dead, your people are probably in complete chaos," Wang Feng instructed calmly.

Alice was slightly taken aback. Although she didn't understand why her master had suddenly sent her away, she still obediently bowed and said, "Yes, Master." Then she left the hall.

Once Alice's figure had completely disappeared, Wang Feng pulled Apas over and pressed her down onto the large Medusa throne.

"What...what do you want to do?!" Apas's heart suddenly raced, her golden snake eyes narrowed slightly, and she instinctively tried to struggle.

Wang Feng's lips curled slightly as he gently stroked her soft cheek with his fingertips. "Didn't you say you would protect your mother? Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Apas's ears turned red as she looked around in a panic—the empty hall was silent, with only the ancient murals standing by indifferently.

"What, you don't want to?" Wang Feng chuckled, his tone slightly mocking. "Then why not bring Alice back? Anyway... she can't disobey my orders."

"No!" Apas suddenly gripped his sleeve tightly.

……

Outside the Temple of Twilight, Alice's face suddenly flushed slightly.

"So...that's their relationship?" Alice murmured.

The Twilight Temple belonged to her, and naturally, nothing that happened within the temple could escape her perception.

"Oh, poor Apas~"

...

The next morning.

Wang Feng did indeed keep his promise.
After briefly instructing her to continue ruling the Serpent Empire, he returned to Cairo with Apas.

The girl's lips were still slightly swollen, with a faint blush.

She lowered her eyelashes and remained unusually quiet the entire way, not even daring to meet Wang Feng's gaze.

They first went to the Cairo military headquarters to collect the agreed-upon payment before returning to their hotel.

As soon as she opened the door, Heidi stood up from the sofa, her gaze sweeping between the two of them before finally settling on Apas's face.

"Wang Feng, you're finally back... Hey, little sister Apas, what happened to your mouth?"

"N-nothing!" Apas abruptly turned her face away, her voice rising unnaturally, "It's probably... I'm feeling a bit feverish!"

"Getting a sore throat?" Heidi tilted her head suspiciously, feeling that Apas was acting unusually today.

Wang Feng interrupted her inquiry at the right moment, "The matter in Egypt is over, we should go find Blanche now."

Blanche originally said she would only be away for a few days, but now almost two months have passed.

Although we can still contact each other occasionally, she seems to be in some trouble, and her tone always carries a faint anxiety.

Blanche, teacher!

Heidi was suddenly startled, and then it dawned on her—

(Oh no! I completely forgot about the teacher!)
