"Click..."
Just as Tang Miao was resting and recovering his magic energy, Tang Yue pushed the door open and walked in.
Hearing the sound, Tang Miao asked without turning his head, "Why aren't you recovering in your own room? Why did you come to mine?"
Tang Yue asked, puzzled, "How did you know it was me?"
Tang Miao's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "Besides you, no one else would enter my room without knocking."
"We're in sync."
Tang Yue smiled; she wasn't an impolite person. It was just that the two of them were almost always together, so knocking on the door was something they subconsciously overlooked.
After sitting on the edge of the bed, Tang Yue said, "I forgot this isn't home~"
Tang Miao turned to look at Tang Yue, at her exquisite and perfectly oval face, her bright and captivating eyes, her high and alluring nose, her red and charming lips, and her fair and rosy skin. The thought that if he had arrived late, or if Tang Yue hadn't told him about this... a wave of lingering fear washed over him.
He reached out, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "From now on, whatever you do, you must tell me."
Tang Yue nodded and replied, "I know..."
This time, they had indeed been careless.
Tang Miao inhaled Tang Yue's scent and felt the soft smoothness of her body. What had originally been a gesture of concern gradually turned into a different kind of feeling as he held her... Tang Yue also noticed the change, but surprisingly, she didn't try to stop Tang Miao.
With Tang Yue's tacit consent, Tang Miao lay down with her, but just as the two were about to take another step forward... "Thump, thump, thump" came a knock on the door... Hearing the sound, Tang Miao turned with a displeased expression and said, "No one's here!"
"Tang Miao, is Tang Yue there? The Judgment Court has an urgent matter." Qiu Yu outside completely ignored his response and anxiously asked.
Hearing this, Tang Yue pushed Tang Miao's head away and playfully chided, "I'm not going anywhere. There's an urgent matter... stop fooling around..."
...Three minutes had passed since Tang Yue ran out.
When Qiu Yu saw Tang Yue come out, she said helplessly, "Sister Yue, the Chief Judge wants us to take Bai Yang back as soon as possible. The people he sent to meet us have already arrived, and the Chief Judge is aware of our ambush."
This was serious business, and Tang Yue nodded, "Alright then, let's go."
"Uh... that, Sister Yue..." Qiu Yu hesitated, but it would be awkward for them to leave like this, so she pointed to the buttons on her chest as a hint.
Tang Yue looked at Qiu Yu's gesture and paused... then, with a flushed face, she mumbled, "Wait for me," and ran back into the room.
Seeing Tang Yue return, Tang Miao stepped forward and reached out, asking, "Are you done?"
"Slap~"
Tang Yue slapped away Tang Miao's hand and gave him a glare. Then she said, "I have a mission and need to leave first. Are you coming back with us, or...?"
Tang Miao thought for a moment and said, "You guys go back first. Since I'm here, I might as well consider it a training experience."
He was so short on money right now. Once the military mages arrived, entering the city to slay demons and monsters would be a huge income! He naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. As for danger? The rain had stopped, and the Earthly Holy Spring was in Mo Fan's hands. The military should arrive tomorrow, so the Black Vatican certainly wouldn't have time to bother him at this point.
Tang Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright then, be careful!"
She had originally wanted to ask why Tang Miao's lightning and ice powers were so strong. However, it seemed there was no chance now... With that, Tang Yue left... This night passed quietly, having missed its opportunity.
At dawn, the clouds were parted by the rising sun, and streaks of clean sunlight fell upon the mountains, rivers, and cities.
Overnight, Tang Miao's magic energy had fully recovered. After that, he meditated... until he heard people cheering. Tang Miao walked out the door and looked into the distance, seeing a large flock of snow-white sky eagles appearing in the direction of the sun. A large flock of sky eagles meant that each eagle carried a Intermediate Mage!
Seeing the arrival of the team ready to clear the dungeon, Tang Miao immediately followed them out.
The Sky Eagle Mage Corps' objective was very simple: to hunt down the Warrior-level demons wandering in the city.
And Tang Miao's objective was also very simple: he just followed the main group to clear the dungeon. Of course, he would also contribute to some of the occasional Warrior-level magical beasts.
The military mages didn't say anything after seeing Tang Miao's explosive output.
The entrances for the demons were successively destroyed, and the number of demons in Bo City decreased with each one killed. The entire city entered a sweeping phase.
After three full days of "leeching," all of Tang Miao's elementary skills were strengthened to level four. Among them, he obtained five Warrior-level spirit essences, including the previous ones, and fifteen Servant-level ones. Selling these would bring in nearly two hundred million in income.
By the fourth day, his gains had diminished. Of course, many demons had died, but he couldn't search the entire city for recently deceased demons... Nevertheless, Tang Miao still followed the army in their sweep. This sweep lasted for a full week, including the sewers being thoroughly cleaned several times. After repeated hunts, Bo City finally returned to peace.
However, Bo City was already unrecognizable.
But he was not from here, and after dealing with a large number of demons, Tang Miao left the area.
Before leaving, Mo Fan came to see Tang Miao once, asking about Tang Yue's whereabouts. It seemed he wanted to express his gratitude for the Book of Star Maps Tang Yue had given him.
After Tang Miao accepted on her behalf and chatted with him for a bit, he left.
It had to be admitted, Mo Fan was indeed Mo Fan; in terms of thick skin, he was no less than Tang Miao.
When he left, the military mage commander also invited Tang Miao to join them. After all, an Intermediate Mage whose skill power was comparable to a High-level Mage was naturally a hot commodity.
However, Tang Miao refused without even thinking.
He needed totems to improve. Although his current improvement speed was very fast, the situation would be different once he reached the High-level... After returning to Mingzhu Academy, Tang Miao rested for a day, then found a market and sold all the spirit essences he had obtained, earning nearly two hundred million.
"Beep beep beep..."
Looking at the nine-digit number on his bank card before the decimal point, Tang Miao felt a surge of satisfaction.
Tang Miao instantly lost interest in participating in anything like being a Hunter Mage. How much money could that be? With strength, hunting demons was the real truth!
It could benefit humanity and make money... Just as Tang Miao was fantasizing, Tang Yue's sweet voice came through, "Hello~"
After the call connected, Tang Miao said, "Yueyue, I'm back at the academy. Where are you?"
"You just got back?"
Tang Yue paused at his words. She remembered that the military mages had arrived on the second day. Transportation should have been restored long ago! If she hadn't been busy with things these past few days, she would have asked Tang Miao already.
"Uh, I was in Bo City slaying demons and monsters..." After Tang Miao recounted what he had been doing for the past few days, he was met with a furious scolding from Tang Yue...
Tang Yue said in an unkind tone, "I'll come find you after I finish dealing with these matters!"
Tang Miao could only nod obediently. He had originally wanted to take credit, but he didn't expect this reaction... However, knowing that Tang Yue was speaking out of concern, he could only listen obediently...
