Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

hang up the phone.

Tang Yue looked puzzled. "Old Man Pang? Pang Lai?"

"Mm." Lü Cheng nodded.

"Since Zhu Meng couldn't find me, he simply brought Pang Lai along."

"Then what about the antidote you mentioned?" Tang Yue asked, looking puzzled.

Lu Cheng has been staying with her these past two days. When did he find the antidote?

“I have some underlings.” Lu Cheng waved his hand, and several ninja soldiers darted out from the shadows, each carrying a large bag of eagle-red grass on their backs.

"This plague is actually bubonic plague, and these eagle-red herbs are the antidote."

Tang Yue's face lit up with surprise, "Then we..."

“But I don’t plan to take this out yet,” Lü Cheng said.

Tang Yue was taken aback. "Why?"

Leng Qing just contacted her. The plague is very serious now. If it is not contained in time, it may destroy the city.

"Do you want the Black Serpent to exist openly and legitimately in Hangzhou?" Lu Cheng asked.

Tang Yue paused for a moment, then said, "I want to."

The Black Serpent is the guardian deity of Hangzhou. If it weren't for the Black Serpent's existence, which deterred the surrounding demons, the city would have disappeared long ago.

However, the black serpent that silently guards Hangzhou is feared by those it protects, and even regarded as a demon from the outside world. There are quite a few people like Zhu Meng who want to eradicate the totem.

Hiding is not a solution; if possible, she wants the totem to exist openly and honestly.

"Then just wait patiently." Lu Cheng pulled Tang Yue into his arms.

"I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about anything, okay?"

Tang Yue hesitated, "But..."

“People are so fickle; they forget even the most painful lessons in just a few days,” Lü Cheng said.

"Only by making a deep enough impression on them and making them realize reality can the Black Serpent exist safely."

If he takes out the Eagle Red Grass now and solves the plague, it will only prove that the Black Serpent has nothing to do with the plague, and the Silver Sky Lord may not come back.

Only when the Silver Dome Lord leads the White Demon Eagles to attack the city, and when the city falls into true despair and panic, will the appearance of the Black Serpent have the best effect.

“I know what you’re worried about, but don’t forget one thing,” Lü Cheng said.

"The Black Serpent owes them nothing. In fact, they should be grateful to this big guy for being able to live peacefully on this land."

"But they don't know, and even if they did, they wouldn't admit it."

"Humans are arrogant. Do you think they are willing to admit that they have survived until now only because of the protection of this giant serpent?"

"They won't admit it. Even if the facts are right in front of them, many people are unwilling to admit it. In fact, once they become powerful, there will definitely be people who want to erase this past that they consider humiliating."

"No way!" Tang Yue said anxiously.

"You don't know?" Lü Cheng cupped Tang Yue's head in his hands.

"You're a judge, haven't you seen enough darkness?"

"You can be nice to people, but you can't be too nice to them. Otherwise, they will take your kindness for granted, and if you stop talking to them one day, they will feel that you owe them something."

"You can be a good person and do good deeds, but everything should be done in moderation. Before doing good deeds, you must protect yourself first."

“I know you don’t want more deaths and injuries, but you don’t need to feel guilty at all.”

“I have no obligation to save them. Without me, they would still die if they were meant to, and even the Black Serpent might be in trouble, and you would be in trouble too.”

"And my intervention has saved many lives."

"Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, and don't take on responsibilities that don't belong to you. You are just a small judge. Don't think that the world won't turn without you, and don't take the deaths of so-called innocent people as your responsibility."

"Perhaps you can disregard your own safety for them, but I cannot."

"To them you are just a dispensable judge, but to me you are important. I will help you with what you want to do, but you will be my priority."

“But…” Tang Yue’s face showed struggle.

She could roughly guess what Lü Cheng meant; bigger trouble was bound to follow.

Lu Cheng wanted Xuan She to solve the bigger problem and become a hero.

However, bigger trouble also means more sacrifices...

“If you insist on risking your own safety to save them, then I have no choice but to have them die with you,” Lü Cheng said quietly.

"Huh?" Tang Yue was taken aback.

How come you change your mind faster than turning the pages of a book?

“Their lives or deaths are none of my concern, and I don’t care whether they live or die. Everything I’ve done is for you. I hope it makes you happy, because seeing you happy makes me happy too,” Lu Cheng said.

"But if you choose to indulge yourself, disregard my feelings, or even make me resentful, then no one will have a good time."

"That's not what I meant," Tang Yue said anxiously.

"I just……"

"Just a fool who can't even protect herself." Lu Cheng pinned Tang Yue down.

"You can be a good person, but your good deeds must come after mine."

"If I'm happy, I can choose to make everyone happy."

"But if I'm not happy, nobody else will be happy either."

"I am the top priority."

Chapter 84 People from the Holy City

85.

……

"Now that you know where that kid is, you should hurry up and set off to bring him and the Black Serpent back!"

Zhu Meng quickly assembled the palace guards, but Pang Lai stopped them.

"Wait a moment."

"Now that things have come to this, are you still going to protect that kid?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

"Pang Lai! If the plague continues to spread, who will bear the responsibility, you or me?"

"Still that same impulsive, good-for-nothing brat!"

"Wu Pingjing! You shall lead the troops now..."

"Zhu Meng!" Pang Lai said sternly.

"Can't you use your brain before you do things? I told you, they're in the sky!"

"The totem serpent is also in the sky!"

“This isn’t the right thing to do…” Zhu Meng was stunned, his expression changing rapidly.

"Is the Black Serpent also in the sky?"

Is that giant serpent, measured in kilometers, in the sky?

"Don't tell me that kid lifted the Black Serpent into the sky." Zhu Meng looked suspicious.

Given the size of the Black Serpent, could Lü Cheng really carry it up there?

“No, that’s not it.” Pang Lai shook his head.

"That……"

"He created an island in the sky! The Black Serpent is on the island!"

"..."

"Are you serious?"

Zhu Meng was completely bewildered.

They built an island? An island where the Xuan Snake can be placed?

This seems even more outrageous, doesn't it?

“I won’t stop you from taking action against the Xuan Serpent, but you’d better think carefully about what will happen if you take down that island in the sky,” Pang Lai said.

"What would happen if the Black Serpent fell down?"

"Do you want to destroy this city?"

Although he didn't know how Lü Cheng got that thing up there, but!

He had no doubt that the kid was capable of anything!
