Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 76 Tang Yue: You still want to bully your master?

Tang Yue led Li Xingze to the West Lake, where they boarded a small boat and rowed all the way to the island in the middle of the lake.

As soon as the small boat reached the shore, a man dressed in blue was seen guarding the area.

The man's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yue, but he frowned when he saw a handsome young man with Tang Yue.

"Tang Yue, outsiders are not allowed to come in here." Da Sheng looked at Li Xingze with hostility.

"Dasheng, he's not an outsider," Tang Yue said.

"Could it be that you two have already...?"

Da Sheng's eyes widened, his hostility intensifying, and he no longer bothered to hide it.

Li Xingze merely raised an eyebrow at this, as if to say, "Someone like you thinks he can win the heart of a beauty?"

If he remembered correctly, this guy had also betrayed the Lingyin Tribunal.

Tang Yue blushed and said coquettishly, "What are you thinking? He's my student."

"Oh, oh, a student, you can be considered one of us, by all accounts." Da Sheng chuckled sheepishly.

"Who says students can't?" Li Xingze suddenly said.

"What?"

Da Sheng didn't hear clearly at first, and just stared blankly at Li Xingze, looking honest and simple.

Teacher Tang Yue gave Li Xingze a charming glare. This guy still wants to bully his teacher?

Li Xingze touched his nose, giving an expression that said, "I didn't say anything."

"Dasheng, you can go back now. I'll stay here and keep watch for you today."

Tang Yue just wanted to get Da Sheng away from her now. Who knew if he would say something that would cause misunderstandings?

"Okay, sure."

Da Sheng didn't think much of it and boarded the boat to leave.

Tang Yue walked towards the island with her hands behind her back, her steps slow yet light, exuding a gentle and approachable charm, like a lively little girl leading her friend to a familiar place.

Li Xingze followed Tang Yue across the lake and arrived at the courtyard house in the center of the lake, with its green tiles and red pillars, a typical example of the Jiangnan style.

Inside the courtyard, there were some antiques on display. Li Xingze followed Tang Yue inside and found that not only were there antiques on the table, but there were also murals carved on the walls, each depicting an ancient legend.

"Does this mural tell the story of your divine serpent?" Li Xingze looked at the mural with great interest.

"Yes, that's why we call it a god. This island in the middle of the lake actually symbolizes this ancient event," Tang Yue nodded and said.

"It is indeed of great research significance."

First came Jiang Shaojun searching for totems, then came Mo Fan, Nan Jue, and others exploring the mysteries of totems. Totems do indeed possess an indescribable charm, and for some, this is the root of their relentless pursuit.

"Actually, we don't know why it suddenly appeared in the city. This is the first time it has done this in so many years."

"Generally speaking, it only appears when there is a threat in the city that makes it feel extremely uneasy. You were there at the time, did you notice what it was looking at?" Tang Yue said.

"Its snake eyes are like bright spotlights, how am I supposed to know what it's looking at?" Li Xingze shook his head.

"Sigh~" Tang Yue sighed, a faint look of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"Many magical organizations are now afraid of the totem beast's overwhelming power, and many authoritative organizations still oppose it. Perhaps you're right, it might really be in trouble this time."

"Teacher Tang Yue, you don't need to worry too much. I think Orochi's strength is extraordinary, and it's not something an ordinary person can subdue," Li Xingze comforted her.

"You don't know this, but it's about to molt, and this is when it's at its weakest."

Li Xingze frowned. The Xuan Snake's strength had indeed decreased significantly after shedding its skin; otherwise, Zhu Meng would never have been able to take advantage of it.

"There's always a way out; let's take it one step at a time."

"Come with me to a place."

Tang Yue's soft, slender hand directly took Li Xingze's large hand, and they walked quickly towards the center of the lake.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~!!!!"

Just as the two headed toward the center of the lake, a low growl that could penetrate to the very depths of one's soul came from the lake!

Although Li Xingze was prepared, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he heard the roar.

"Teacher Tang Yue, could that giant snake be beneath West Lake?"

"Yes, it has always lived in West Lake."

"It won't just suddenly appear, will it?"

Li Xingze looked at the calm lake, but there was a hint of danger hidden in the calm. Who knew if the Xuan Snake would suddenly jump out?

As if in response to Li Xingze's words, the originally calm lake water suddenly began to bubble continuously.

"How could this be?" Tang Yue frowned. Why did the Xuan Snake suddenly become agitated? Could it be that it encountered some kind of threat?

"Gurgle gurgle~~~"

The water began to churn, and the intensity of the churning indicated that whatever was emerging must be enormous.

An astonishing black shadow slowly emerged. The enormous shadow was exactly the same as the giant snake from a few days ago, meaning that this was the totem Xuan Snake.

A giant snake head, comparable in size to a 100-square-meter room, slowly approached Li Xingze, its forked tongue flicking incessantly, and a foul stench assaulting Li Xingze's face.

Isn't this a bit too much enthusiasm?

Li Xingze stiffly turned to look at Tang Yue. Was this a normal phenomenon?

Tang Yue's expression turned solemn, clearly not expecting this moment, and she suddenly asked, "Have you already broken through to the advanced level?"

"Yes," Li Xingze replied.

Hearing this, Tang Yue helplessly touched her fair forehead and quickly stepped forward to soothe the somewhat agitated black snake.

Seeing Tang Yue's actions, Li Xingze immediately understood that Xuan She was treating him as a potential threat!

Blanch!

Just now, Li Xingze thought he was the chosen one, with all the totems' affinity at its maximum. But it turns out that this Xuan Snake clearly doesn't like him!

Li Xingze's face darkened. He hadn't expected that the first totem he encountered would cause such a big blunder.

"Big guy, you rest first, I'll take him away from here right away."

As the black serpent sank into the lake, Tang Yue looked at Li Xingze with a reproachful expression, "Why didn't you tell me you had already reached the advanced level?"

"How can you blame me? You didn't even ask me!"

Li Xingze looked completely innocent; it seemed he definitely couldn't become the Snake Knight.

"Let's go, don't go near West Lake for the next few days."

Tang Yue took Li Xingze's hand and gave him some instructions.

Li Xingze remained silent; his mission had failed before it even began.

To cover his embarrassment, Li Xingze took out his phone to check the messages, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Someone has already started tampering with things." Li Xingze held his phone screen up to Tang Yue's face.

Tang Yue was taken aback at first, but was quickly surprised by the information on her phone, and then became indignant.

"This is absurd! This is clearly a frame-up!"
