Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 20 Red Essence
Time passed day by day.

Lingling, who is bored, sometimes comes to Mingzhu Fugao to have a look.

She would rather take on those commissions to find cats and dogs than she could stand those elementary school students even for one day.

Xu Shen looked at the little Loli who suddenly appeared beside him and felt helpless: "Is your teacher so indulgent to you?"

Lingling shrugged: "Maybe he didn't want me to hand in a blank paper in the primary school entrance examination."

It's really... such a vicious threat.

Lingling, this girl, has been smarter than her peers since she was a child. If Magic Awakening hadn't set a hard age limit, she would have skipped to high school by now.For her, elementary school knowledge is not something that can be taken lightly, and the teacher expects her to be the best in the district.

Xu Shen said helplessly: "Tell me, what happened today? Just a warning, don't get me involved in helping some rich lady find a dog."

"Hmph, you are not willing to take you to meet a young and beautiful rich woman?" Lingling said like an old-fashioned person: "Young man, when you step into society, you will know that there was a shortcut in front of you that you did not cherish. , it’s too late to regret it when you lose it, but it’s a pity that it’s too late.”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell the truth."

"My dad is back."

"Huh? Is that the father in your essay "My King Hunter Father" that won the first prize in the district?"

"Don't think that I can't hear the strangeness in your words." Lingling wrinkled her nose and said mysteriously: "You have seen Wang Yue's dark red spirit, right? Aren't you curious?"

"No Zuo No Die", Xu Shen rubbed Lingling's head rudely: "The old witch is quite right in what she said. As a human being, it's better to be less curious."

Lingling was very dissatisfied and threw Xu Shen's big hand from her head: "You don't want Sister Yu Mian to know about being dragged into the bathroom by the rich woman that day."

"I just accidentally poured tea on my pants. Don't spread rumors."

Lingling waved her phone: "Then try it and see if Sister Yumian believes it."

How shameless, this girl actually took a photo!
"That little jealous spirit..." Xu Shen muttered in a low voice, asking Dr. Wang about the red spirit with the attitude of doing less than doing more.

In fact, Lingling was vague about this. Her father once severely warned her not to participate in this matter.

Xu Shen listened to Lingling talking about the clues he had snuck from his father's room, and also tried to find some clues by exploring the memories of his previous life.

Most of the news involving monarch-level demons is big news that can make headlines, and maybe some clues can be found.

In his last life, he had very little interaction with the Lingling family. Most of the information he received came from the bragging that Mo Fan had in the class.

It seems that it was occasionally mentioned that both Lingling's parents were dead...

and many more……

Xu Shen was suddenly startled. Only then did he realize belatedly that Lingling's father, Leng Hunter King, was still alive.

"Lingling, what is your father's current strength?"

Seeing Xu Shen's serious expression, Lingling also became more serious: "Two series of super levels."

"Last time you said your father came back from Japan?"

"Well, he seems to have found some clues, but he just hid them from me." Lingling was quite troubled by her father's attitude.

Japan……

The battle between schools...

Xu Shen tried very hard to recall, but most of his memories had been lost in that ghost place where time had stopped, and he really couldn't find any more information.

The cold hunter king and Lingling are partners of each other, and he will bring Lingling with him in most of the tasks. However, this matter is kept secret throughout, indicating that if Lingling is involved, he is not sure that he can protect her.

In other words, this matter is extremely dangerous!
Xu Shen was not sure whether this incident was the cause of the death of King Leng Hunter.

Out of caution, he said to Lingling seriously: "Perhaps, I cannot persuade your father to give up this commission, but, Lingling, since this matter has involved a monarch-level demon, it will definitely not be simple. I I hope you can persuade your grandfather to go with him."

"Huh, you don't need to remind me. My dad and grandpa have been searching all over Shanghai these days." "What I mean is, it's best not to let them act separately."

"Are you worried about my dad?"

In her heart, the commission that could stump her father had not yet been born.

"To be precise, I'm worried that your father will die." Xu Shen said in a solemn tone: "Lingling, this matter may be more dangerous than you and I imagined."

Lingling was a little angry, was this guy cursing her hunting king father?
Xu Shen didn't know how to explain it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you still remember the million-dollar commission when we first met?"

"You said it!"

Lingling frowned slightly dissatisfied.

She naturally knew how big a fish was involved in this commission, but she couldn't figure out how this guy knew it even if she thought about it.

When asked, the man just smiled mysteriously and muttered such nonsense as "secrets cannot be leaked", "unknowable" and "unclouded", which made her feel itchy.

"Since I can figure out the identity of that beast Yu Ang, why can't I figure out your father's bloody disaster?"

Lingling was shocked. Xu Shen's face was serious, and he definitely didn't seem to be joking.

"Call your grandpa." Xu Shen rubbed Lingling's head: "Your mother left early. You must let your father see you grow up healthily."

"Don't curse my daddy," Lingling muttered dissatisfiedly, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief after watching her finish the phone call.

No matter what the outcome was, at least he had fulfilled his intention.

The rest is up to God.

What can a mere junior mage do?

At this time, Lingling no longer insisted on exploring the secret of the red spirit. Xu Shen said that she felt panicked.

next day
The news of the blood-stained Huangpu River made headlines today.

Pond fish suffering is no longer an adjective, there are indeed countless fish and shrimps washed into the East China Sea with their belly turned white.

The fishermen were happily loading up one boat after another, just like celebrating the New Year.

"This group of stinky fish and rotten shrimps will end up in the stomachs of consumers, this group of unscrupulous fishermen!" Hai Dafu was filled with indignation, picked up his mobile phone and started typing, as if he was a qualified keyboard warrior.

"Excuse me, it's not your turn to enjoy these fish and shrimps." Some students rolled their eyes and explained, "Isn't there an explanation in the news? There are demon pets raised by big families on Sheshan Mountain who are quite happy to eat these things."

Xu Shen shook his head, happily watching the quarrels among his classmates. From time to time he saw Ding Yumian's swaying twin tails, and his eyes narrowed slightly with pleasure.

The phone vibrated, it was a message from Lingling.

Leng Hunter King was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Xu Shen was shocked, but still couldn't escape?
He hurriedly asked for leave and left, calling Yu Mian on the way to explain a few words.

When they arrived at Qingtian Hunting Station, Lingling's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying for a long time. Leng Qing, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, also appeared again.

Only Old Man Bao and Leng Hunter King were missing.

"Grandpa took him to the Parthenon." Leng Qing's mood was relatively restrained: "Thank you for the reminder."

Xu Shen sighed softly and said nothing.

The Parthenon is world-renowned and is the holy place in the hearts of all healing mages. It has the most superb healing magic, and it is said that there is even a forbidden spell to bring the dead back to life.

I hope Leng Hunter King can return safely.
