Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

"Boss, you're back." Ximu's eyes lit up.

Zhou Lan nodded slightly at him, but her first words upon entering were not pleasantries, but a question.

"How has your magical journey been while I was gone?"

In an instant, Simudun stood still.

He chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Not bad, I've collected quite a bit of magic."

But Ximu didn't think that way.

He knew that Zhou Lan needed to act quickly, but how could a trip be so fast?

They left in the morning and came back in the afternoon?

Not even a day.

He thought it would take at least a few days.

Unsurprisingly, Ximu did nothing.

While Zhou Lan was away, he chatted and joked with Natsu.

To Nishiki's surprise, Natsu was quite talkative.

So he embellished his past achievements and told Natsu about them.

She talked about being the ruler of the sky, the second most powerful person in the world, the second oldest among her eight brothers and sisters, and how all her brothers and sisters except Zhou Lan protected her. She said all of that.

Natsu is a very good listener.

Because of his straightforward and simple personality, he believed everything Ximu said and listened with great interest.

Because Natsu was so kind, Ximu became more and more excited as he spoke, and "simply" explained some stories about the Eight Immortals.

He depicted hell as his domain.

Five of the eight immortal gods voluntarily entered Hell, only to be defeated one by one by him and Zhou Lan.

Because he exerted too much effort, his strength was damaged, which is why he came here to recover.

Natsu believed it all.

With Zhou Lan's formidable strength serving as a cautionary tale, and given the close relationship between Zhou Lan and Ximu, it was impossible for the simple-minded Natsu not to believe it.

This support brought Ximu a great deal of emotional value, and he even made a bold statement that when he returned in full force, he planned to make Natsu a general.

The result of a long chat is...

He did nothing all day.

Therefore, when facing Zhou Lan now, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"That's good." Zhou Lan glanced at Xi Mu, her gaze sweeping over the Cangqiong Codex.

Ximu lowered his head.

The next second, he quickly changed the subject: "Boss, about the local specialties we were talking about earlier..."

He rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Come with me." Zhou Lan gently pulled her hand, and the two figures disappeared from the guild.

"Brother?"

Standing outside Fairy Tail, Ximu suddenly felt a little flustered.

They even used a slightly more formal title.

Could it be that Zhou Lan has seen through his little scheme?

It is said that one should not educate younger generations in front of others, lest they be laughed at.

Sure enough, Zhou Lan pulled him out directly.

Ximu swallowed hard, looking somewhat nervous, his mind racing.

"Damn it, when was the last time I got beaten up? I've almost forgotten."

"It can't be that bad, it's just some magic progress..."

Many thoughts flashed through Ximu's mind.

But he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"I was wrong..." He had just opened his mouth when Zhou Lan interrupted him.

“I brought some things with me.” Zhou Lan looked at him intently.

Ximu opened his eyes and looked.

Zhou Lan reached into her sleeve and flicked out two streaks of light.

"What is this?" Ximu stared blankly at the two streaks of light, which transformed into two figures standing in front of him.

He looked at Zhou Lan, puzzled.

“I understand that you have the idea of ​​starting your own business, and it seems that you are quite interested in the guild system…” Zhou Lan said slowly.

"But one person alone cannot form a guild, and ordinary archmages are not even worth considering..."

"So, I've recruited two Deadpools for you."

Zhou Lan's gaze swept over the two figures: "I could have killed them, but that would have been too wasteful. In any case, these two can not only provide you with magic, but will also become one of your allies in the future..."

“I have given them life again, and I understand their nature better than anyone else. There is no need to worry about loyalty.”

"After I leave, this is your world. As a king, you should be more responsible and have more magnanimity."

Zhou Lan began to speak slowly.

Ximu froze on the spot, his eyes flickering.

"Brother...?" he murmured.

Chapter 331 It was seen through long ago.

Ximu murmured in disbelief.

He had imagined a thousand ways to punish him, but he never expected to receive such heartfelt words.

Zhou Lan patiently taught everything.

Even though he, as a demon from heaven, already knew these things and these principles.

"Okay, I understand." Ximu nodded slowly, his expression finally softening.

Since it's not a punishment for his laziness, then everything is fine.

He looked at the two figures standing not far away.

They had just been released from Zhou Lan's sleeve.

The two figures, both draped in black robes, obscuring their faces, stood obediently to one side.

"Oh, right, and this too." Zhou Lan reached into her sleeve and tossed out two streams of light—that was magic.

"I will keep my promise to you," Zhou Lan said slowly and firmly.

Two completely different magical forces rushed into the Celestial Codex of the Westwood Trial.

In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed up by that vortex.

The two streams of magical energy were extremely similar to the auras of the two people standing beside him. Ximu instantly realized that these two streams of magical energy came from the two people standing beside him.

“These two magical powers,” Zhou Lan said, “are celestial magic, which excels in powerful destructive force, and the lost magic of the arc of time, which has a certain power to rewind time, but is ineffective against organisms other than plants.”

Zhou Lan slowly began to explain.

These two magical powers originated from Gerald and Urutia Mirkovic, respectively.

They were also two undercover agents within the Magic Council.

In truth, the mastermind behind all of this is that woman, Urudia.

She is one of the key members of the future dark guild "Heart of the Devil" and also the culprit who seduced Jellal.

However, these things don't matter when it comes to Zhou Lan.

What Zhou Lan meant by giving them life again was simply to beat them awake from the bewitching influence of dark forces.

At the same time, they didn't actually kill him.

This method is simple, but also straightforward.

More importantly, these two people were inherently inclined towards the light; otherwise, they would have been killed together.

These two would be perfect as subordinates now.

At least in terms of magical talent and strength, within the scope of this world, he is impeccable.

“I understand.” Ximu nodded in realization. He had enough time to analyze the two magical powers and add his own interpretation to them.

This is what they call local specialties.

The local specialty that Zhou Lan brought back was truly exceptional.

Whether it's forbidden magic like celestial magic or lost magic like the arc of time, both are magical abilities with immense potential for growth and power.

As for Ultear's other specialty, Ice Shape magic, Zhou Lan did not use it.

After all, there's someone in the Fairy Tail guild who's good at Ice Shape magic, so it'll be enough for Nishiki to go get it himself.

only.

When Ximu heard Zhou Lan say, "I won't fail to do what I promised you," his face, which had been a demon for millions of years, still flushed slightly.

Is this a call to action?

This is definitely targeting him!

west Mu blushed slightly; Zhou Lan had definitely seen through his little trick.

Although he didn't know exactly how his older brother had done it, Ximu subconsciously felt that Zhou Lan should have the ability.

Until he raised his head and met Zhou Lan's smiling eyes.

That's confirmed now.

Ximu immediately deflated.

Zhou Lan knew, of course.

Given Ximu's current state, it's almost unimaginable how powerful he is.

It's just a celestial codex; Zhou Lan can see through its thickness, quantity, and whether it contains magic with just a glance.

Moreover, even the cornerstone upon which the Codex of the Azure Sky was built was the remains of the black dragon Acnologia, provided by Zhou Lan.

"I understand," Ximu said in a muffled voice. "I'll definitely pay attention next time, okay? I promise!"

Zhou Lan smiled and nodded without saying anything.

He wasn't the kind of strict parent. Although the eldest brother is like a father, given his personality and temperament, most of the time he simply shone down quietly like moonlight.

Watching silently.

Having lived in the heavens for so long, he has always had this kind of personality.

Ximu was relieved and turned his attention to the two beings beside him.

"You all." He changed his tone abruptly, his voice carrying a hint of superiority, "From now on, you'll be working for me, Lord Ximu."

Ximu's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "First, how about we get a Fairy Tail identity?"

"No!" Upon hearing Ximu's words, the two people in front of him seemed to react very strongly.

"Hmm?" Ximu looked at the two of them suspiciously.

“Even if that’s what you think, Makarov would never agree.” It was a woman’s voice that spoke. “Besides, we’re both either executed or dead now, so it’s not appropriate for us to show our faces in public.”

“That’s right. Perhaps supporting you in secret is the right choice, or we can wait until you want to start your own business one day and then stand in the light again.”

The male voice seemed to sigh as he spoke, "Perhaps, this can be considered a form of atonement."

west Mu was completely confused and asked, "It sounds like the boss has been influenced by you guys."
