Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 187 From Then On, the Emperor No Longer Holds Morning Court; Lu Ran's Large Family
In a grove of trees near West Lake.

Lu Ran and Tang Yue took a walk side by side.

"The Totem Serpent fought against the Mountain Corpse, one of the Eight Dead Kings, in the ancient capital. This was a great favor to the ancient capital. President Han Ji of the Clock Tower Magic Association asked me to convey our gratitude to the higher-ups in Hangzhou. Of course, the person we should thank the most is you, the Totem Guardian," Lu Ran said.

Tang Yue smiled and said:

"The totem snake is not only the guardian of Hangzhou, but also the guardian of humankind. It has fulfilled its mission well and is able to help the ancient capital. I am happy for it."

Afterwards, Lu Ran took out a batch of blood serum and snake jade that would help the totem snake recover, all of which were given to him by Han Ji.

Blood potions can replenish the energy of the Totem Serpent, while snake jade is a special magic stone that has a great attraction to snakes, and even the Totem Serpent is not immune to it.

Han Ji had already used super-level healing magic to treat the Totem Serpent, so this batch of blood potion and serpent jade was like a little snack for the Totem Serpent.

Tang Yue did not refuse the rewards that these totem snakes deserved; as the totem guardian, she accepted them on their behalf.

Suddenly, Tang Yue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked casually:
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Ran originally thought that after returning the totem snake, he should go back to Shanghai, since Mu Nujiao was also aware of his trip to the ancient capital.

Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue have not returned for a long time, which has made Nu Jiao and Xin Xia very worried about them.

Just as he was about to say it, Lu Ran suddenly noticed Tang Yue's unusual behavior.

With the help of the Mind System, Lu Ran quickly understood.

It turns out that Teacher Tang Yue, who once taught him magic practice, had long since gone beyond mere admiration for him!
There seems to be an affection that transcends taboos.
In fact, after Lu Ran turned the tide in Hangzhou, killed the Silver Sky Lord with the totem black snake, and was named an honorary councilor of Hangzhou, he realized Tang Yue's feelings for him.

But back then...
With Leng Qing in front and Ling Ling behind, and a whole host of things and women waiting for him to deal with and visit in Shanghai, he really couldn't find the time.

And now.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ran hugged Tang Yue from behind.

A beautiful woman is in my arms, her fragrance filling the air.

Tang Yue's body trembled and went limp, and she felt a sudden numbness. The man's scent wafted over her, making her very uncomfortable.

"Lu, Lu Ran," Tang Yue whispered, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

This was the first time she had ever been hugged from behind by a big man.

She was still a virgin!

Lu Ran whispered into Tang Yue's earlobe:
"Sister Tang Yue"

Feeling the soft breaths in her ear, Tang Yue felt an unbearable itch from the silky, smooth air currents.

She wanted to turn around and push Lu Ran away, but felt powerless to do so.

"Still calling me 'sister'? Am I that old? And you have no respect for elders."

Tang Yue was silent for a while, then blushed and blurted out a sentence that made Lu Ran both laugh and cry.

If Lu Ran hadn't been able to read Tang Yue's mind using his telepathic abilities, he probably would have truly believed it and thought Tang Yue was sulking.
"Tang Yue, actually, I cultivated the Mind-Based System."

In the end, Lu Ran decided to come clean and truly befriend Tang Yue.

Tang Yue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, her eyes glazing over for a few seconds.

Subsequently
Her face flushed red, as if her entire cheeks were tinged with a rosy glow.

Lu Ran cultivated the mind system
With his abilities, he must have reached the point where he can hear other people's thoughts.

In other words, he knew all her previous thoughts and feelings?

This is absolutely shameful!

At this moment, Tang Yue wished she could find a hole to crawl into and hide; she was too ashamed to face anyone.

However, thinking that Lu Ran hadn't hidden anything from her and was willing to confide in her, Tang Yue was very moved and felt that everything was worth it today.

Although she knew that most things would be seen through in front of a mind-based mage, Tang Yue's current panicked state made her want to make up a lie to get by.

After all, the current situation is just too awkward!
But Lu Ran didn't give her that chance.

Lu Ran kissed those bright red lips that were about to open.

"Uh~" Tang Yue was stunned, her mind went blank.

But Lu Ran's initiative and his kiss captivated her, leaving her momentarily mesmerized.
"No, don't go back to the hotel here."

Without giving Tang Yue a chance to escape, he held her in his arms, and a flash of silver light appeared beneath their feet.

The silver light vanished, and the two figures disappeared into the jungle.

The next moment, they landed on a grassy area on Snakeheart Island.

"Lu, Lu Ran, let's go to the hotel!" Tang Yue said shyly, pushing Lu Ran along.

"Isn't it nice to have the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed?" Lu Ran chuckled mischievously.

Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Lu Ran with a captivating charm, her meaning unspoken.

This time, Tang Yue took the initiative to kiss Lu Ran.

After several days of fierce fighting, Lu Ran experienced the thrill of a monarch no longer needing to hold morning court!
After a long and winding journey, Lu Ran was finally brought to a hotel by Tang Yue.

The two were once again caught in a fierce internal struggle, completely losing themselves in the moment.

Lu Ran left at dusk the following day.

Before leaving, he patted Tang Yue's pert bottom, which was curled up in the blankets:

"I still have things to take care of in Shanghai, so I'll be leaving now."

From inside the blankets came Tang Yue's soft, tingling voice:

"Um"

Magic City.

Pushing open the villa door, they found only Ye Xinxia in the living room.

When Ye Xinxia saw that Lu Ran had returned safely, she breathed a huge sigh of relief, and her face became much rosier.

However, she already knew that Lu Ran was alright, so she wasn't too worried.

On the contrary, it was the woman who kept Lu Ran locked up in Hangzhou that worried her.

Hearing Ye Xinxia's thoughts, Lu Ran's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Xinxia, ​​it seems you know where I went after leaving the ancient capital?"

Ye Xinxia nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I asked Sister Ning Xue, and she told me that you went to Hangzhou to retrieve the totem snake."

"Brother Lu Ran, have you been in Hangzhou with Sister Leng Qing these past few days?"

Lu Ran was about to answer no when Ye Xinxia continued:

"Oh dear, Xinxia remembered wrong. Lingling clearly said that Sister Leng Qing was at the Magic Palace in the capital a few days ago."

"So, Brother Lu Ran, who are you with?"

Ye Xinxia asked with a cute and pitiful expression.

Lu Ran: “.”

Lu Ran was speechless. So this is where they were waiting for him!
"Family service!"

Lu Ran quickly came to Ye Xinxia's side, picked her up and pretended to spank her.

Ye Xinxia then softened her tone and said softly, "Brother Lu Ran, I was wrong~"

"But Brother Lu Ran, why do disasters always seem to break out wherever you go? First it was Hangzhou, then the ancient capital. We've been so worried these past few days."

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Oh?"

"Who else is worried about me?"

"Sister Mu, Tutu, Tingting, Lingling from Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Sister Liu Ru, Sister Liu Xian, and Sister Leng Qing also called before. Everyone is very worried about you!" Ye Xinxia pouted and said with a hint of resentment.
