Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 108, Unveiling the Truth

"Who's meddling in other people's business?!" Zhao Yulin roared in fury, and brown rock star maps rose around him, his powerful aura pressing down like a mountain.

The others also revealed their star charts, the magical light intertwining in the night—

But Jiang Feng simply hugged the Fire Calamity Fruit tightly in silence, then raised her head.

"whisper!!!!!--"

A cry of anger and sorrow!

The sky above the Starry Sky Tree instantly erupted into chaos, countless waves of fire crashing down like a collapsing celestial curtain, completely separating Zhao Yulin and the others. The scorching plain transformed into a sea of ​​flames, isolating everyone within the burning wall of fire, even preventing Chen Hao from getting close.

Only Chen Ying remained standing before the Flame Witch.

"The plan has changed, let's retreat!" The ghost woman made a decisive decision.

The group immediately began to retreat, not daring to linger in the fight.

"Wait, Chenying is still in her hands!" Zhao Yulin roared, trying to turn around, but was blocked by the wall of fire.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine," the ghost woman replied calmly.

Zhao Yulin's eyes widened in shock. Was this really Chenying's mother's tone? But in this life-or-death crisis, he had no choice but to trust her for now.

……

They retreated quickly, but Chen Ying seemed to see an opportunity. She grabbed the fallen Cold Iron Spike, looked at the Flame Witch with her back to her, and was about to stab her without hesitation!

Yan Ji looked down at the fruit in her hand, as if sensing the killing intent behind her, but she did not dodge.

She knew that with the slightest movement, Chenying would be burned to ashes.

But she didn't move in the end.

She simply turned her head slowly, her gaze tender yet sorrowful, as she looked at her daughter.

The next second—

"puff!!"

The cold iron spike pierced deep into the Flame Witch's chest!
"what!!!!!"

With a piercing scream, Yan Ji finally dropped the Fire Calamity Fruit from her arms, and the wall of flames collapsed rapidly at that moment.

A flash of fire appeared before Chen Hao's eyes, and he saw Chen Ying pick up the Fire Calamity Fruit and turn to run away.

"You run pretty fast." Chen Hao snorted coldly and suddenly waved his hand.

"Blazing Spider Silk!"

Spider silk shot out like arrows, instantly binding her limbs, pulling her back, and slamming her heavily to the ground.

"you……"

Chen Ying was in pain and could not get up. She looked at Chen Hao with shock and anger.

"What do you mean, 'you'? They didn't hurt you, but you went and did this!" Chen Hao said.

"What do you know! This is for my mother! What right do you have to speak up for a demon?" Chen Ying said righteously and fiercely.

At this moment, Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan, and others also arrived.

"You said that bandaged woman is your mother, but do you know she's a high-level mind mage?" Ding Yumin asked.

"What! My aunt is a high-level Mind-type? I remember she was only a mid-level Wind and Fire-type?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

"Impossible! You're lying to me!" Chen Ying was startled by the truth and retorted decisively. "Whether I'm lying or not, I can find out by exploring her mental world. You probably haven't even seen what she looks like under her bandages," Chen Hao said.

"Ring~~"

At this moment, the Flame Witch, who had been severely injured by the Cold Iron Thorn, floated over and made a soothing sound. She embraced Chen Ying with her warm body, like a mother comforting her child.

"Let's talk to her again," Chen Hao said to Ding Yumin.

Ding Yumin nodded. This time, the Flame Witch did not resist. She told the whole story. It turned out that she was Chen Ying's mother. Many years ago, she and her husband encountered a calamity of fire. In order to help Zhao Yulin escape, they sacrificed their last wind path and remained on this scorching plain forever.

Fortunately, the old Flame Fairy saved her, and from then on she became the Flame Witch, protecting the Flame Fairy clan for more than ten years. She couldn't even take care of her own children because the Flame Fairy clan was on the verge of extinction, and she couldn't bear to betray the old Flame Fairy's kindness.

As for the bandaged man, he was a heartless guy whom she had once helped.

When Ding Yumin recounted everything to everyone, the scene fell into a long silence.

Chen Ying's face turned deathly pale, and she slumped to the ground. She looked down at the Cold Iron Demon Thorn in her hand, her fingers trembling, and tears fell drop by drop onto the scorching ground, instantly evaporating into mist.

"I... what have I done..." she murmured to herself, her voice so faint it seemed to be carried away by the wind.

“It’s not your fault,” Ding Yumin said softly. “You just wanted to help your mother too much. But you were deceived from beginning to end.”

Yan Ji didn't blame her; instead, she held her close, warm flames flowing into Chen Ying's body to soothe her pain. It was a mother's warmth, a genuine warmth, a warmth from whom she was willing to give up everything.

"Ring~"

The Flame Witch spoke in a low voice again, as if she were recounting her unwavering choice, or perhaps asking for forgiveness.

Chen Hao stepped forward, picked up the Fire Calamity Fruit that had fallen to the ground, and gently handed it to her. This thing could not be taken by force.

“This belongs to you. Although I really want to form a contract with Flame Princess, I will gain your approval first!” he said.

Jiang Feng nodded, holding the fruit and giving Chen Hao a grateful look. If it weren't for him, she really didn't know how the Ghost Woman and the others would have treated this Fire Calamity Fruit after they got their hands on it. This was the last Flame Princess in the world.

"So what do we do now? Does that mean your Yan Ji is out of the question?" Mo Fan asked.

"Let's talk about it later. This harvest wasn't small." Chen Hao said nonchalantly, but he was already thinking about how to win over Jiang Feng. He knew that she wouldn't agree to just contract with Little Flame Princess, who was her precious darling.

Since that's the case, we might as well pack them all up and take them away. The forge is just missing a very strong fire source. Magic industry has its limits, and the current temperature of the elemental furnace is not enough.

Unless we purchase a large elemental furnace worth billions, we can only rely on flames of higher tiers. With the strength of the Flame Witch, she has definitely met the requirements, and the production capacity can be increased accordingly.

The group temporarily stopped at the top of Fire Pillar Mountain. Their plan was to have Chen Ying use the fake Fire Calamity Fruit to lure Zhao Yulin's group back.

Then we'll join forces to take her down and expose her true colors.

……

The following evening, Zhao Yulin and the Ghost Woman indeed returned with their men, one carrying worry for his daughter and the other carrying greed for the fruits of the Fire Calamity.

"Daughter, are you alright?" Zhao Yulin looked at Chen Ying with concern, then glanced at the red-glowing fruit in her hand, a burning desire flashing in his eyes.

"How did you get this?" The ghost woman took a step closer, her voice cold and hoarse, her gaze fixed on Chen Ying.

Chen Ying remained expressionless, as if disheartened: "I...ambushed that fire creature and brought it over."

"Where is the monster?" Zhao Yulin asked warily.

“She was badly injured and has already escaped,” Chen Ying said.

"Give it to me, give it to me!" the bandaged ghost woman cried impatiently, her voice sharp as if a demon were threatening her.

Chen Ying did not resist, letting the ghost woman snatch the fruit from her hand, and silently retreated.
