Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

"Alright, everyone, it's time for us to go back!" Lin Chen said, patting the Xuan Snake's head.

"Hiss...!!!"

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Snake roared once more, then carried Lin Chen away from here, heading towards its sealed land.

After Lin Chen and the Xuan Snake disappeared, the Guardian Mages of the Western Fortress also received news of the surrounding demon creature groups.

With the Xuan Snake's deterrence, the surrounding demon creature groups retreated dozens of miles away with their tails between their legs.

Upon learning of this, the guardians of Hangzhou also breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Meng even stated to Tang Zhong that he would no longer include the Xuan Snake as a hidden danger in Hangzhou.

Zhu Meng had completely accepted the existence of the Xuan Snake in his heart, and the current Xuan Snake was no longer what it used to be, not someone who could be targeted by just anyone. The Xuan Snake's actions today were seen by the people of Hangzhou.

It stood up when the humans of Hangzhou were most desperate, and with its own strength, it brought endless hope to the people, not only driving out the demon creatures, but also deterring the demons. The Xuan Snake's selfless dedication also made Hangzhou an extremely safe city once again!

No one was willing to go against the world's disapproval, and no one was willing to bear the anger of the people of Hangzhou.

...

The Xuan Snake incident quickly passed, and Xiao Lingling and Leng Qing also returned. The plague was naturally brought under good control.

Lin Chen could be said to have made great contributions. Everything he had done was recounted by Leng Qing, and the high-level officials of various important departments in Hangzhou expressed their gratitude to Lin Chen.

Zhu Meng also sincerely apologized to Lin Chen, which Lin Chen gladly accepted. Although Zhu Meng's previous actions were despicable, his fearless appearance when Hangzhou faced a crisis was still seen by Lin Chen.

The two of them had a demeanor of burying the hatchet with a smile. After receiving Lin Chen's forgiveness, Zhu Meng even tried to win Lin Chen over, but was rejected by Lin Chen without hesitation. However, Zhu Meng did not feel any disappointment, probably because he had already guessed Lin Chen's choice.

Zhu Meng also wanted to use the White Demon Eagle's corpse as a reward for Lin Chen, but was also rejected by Lin Chen.

Since the Silver Sky Ruler did not enter Hangzhou City this time, the damage caused to Hangzhou was limited.

After the guardians of Hangzhou obtained this batch of White Demon Eagle corpses, they would be able to exchange them for the necessities of Hangzhou more quickly, and they would also be able to restore the entire Hangzhou to its original state more quickly.

Hangzhou was Tang Yue's hometown, and also considered half of Lin Chen's hometown. Lin Chen, who "didn't lack money," naturally hoped that Hangzhou could recover as soon as possible.

The next day, the sky was clear, with not a cloud in sight. It was golden autumn, and fallen leaves were flying, falling on the land of Hangzhou, as if draping a charming coat over Hangzhou.

The afternoon sun brought warmth. In the ancient house by West Lake, Lin Chen and Tang Yue had just finished lunch when two guests arrived at their home.

"Lin Chen, I have fulfilled your promise, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" Leng Qing said not long after arriving, before her butt had even warmed the seat, stating the purpose of her visit.

Lingling looked at Lin Chen awkwardly. She had always felt deeply sorry for her exposure.

In Lingling's opinion, if it weren't for her carelessness, her sister Leng Qing wouldn't have made such an excessive request to Lin Chen.

Others didn't understand the power of the Martial Soul, how could she not know?

When Lin Chen helped her awaken her Martial Soul, he explicitly told her to keep it a secret. Now that the secret had not only been exposed, but also allowed Leng Qing to take advantage of it, Lingling was really afraid that Lin Chen would vent his anger on her.

Lingling's feelings for Lin Chen were indescribable, and Lin Chen had long planted a strange seed in her young heart at some point, so Lingling was really afraid that she would lose Lin Chen one day.

"What promise? What did I promise you? I don't remember," Lin Chen said, raising his eyebrows slightly, with a face full of innocence.

"Pfft..." Hearing this, Lingling immediately laughed out loud. She knew Lin Chen's rogue appearance all too well. Her little head unconsciously turned to Leng Qing, wanting to see her reaction. Lingling, who had never seen her sister be at a loss before, was very curious.

Leng Qing didn't say anything, but it was obvious that her cold face had turned ashen. She admitted that she had taken advantage of the situation this time, and also knew that she was in the wrong for exploring other people's secrets.

But the two of them had already agreed that she would help Lin Chen solve the plague, and Lin Chen would help her awaken an unknown power.

Now that she had done it, Lin Chen went back on his word. Seeing Lin Chen's rogue face, Leng Qing's teeth itched with anger.

And she really couldn't refute Lin Chen's words. Recalling the previous conversation between the two, Lin Chen did not explicitly say that he would help her, but only said that he would talk about it later, but the implication in Lin Chen's words was already very obvious, but now that Lin Chen was acting like a rogue, she could do nothing about it.

Just then, Tang Yue walked slowly out of the kitchen, carrying a fruit plate.

She had vaguely heard the conversation between Lin Chen and Leng Qing earlier, and seeing the awkward atmosphere in the house, Tang Yue looked at Lin Chen with confusion.

"Come... eat fruit, Lingling, Leng Qing, don't be polite!" Tang Yue placed the fruit on the coffee table and warmly greeted the two. Seeing that Leng Qing's face was still a little ugly, Tang Yue asked in confusion: "Leng Qing, what's wrong? Did Lin Chen bully you?"

Leng Qing shook her head. Strictly speaking, this matter was her problem. Even if Lin Chen went back on his word now, she couldn't blame Lin Chen. Who told her to explore other people's secrets? It was just that Leng Qing was a little unwilling.

Seeing that Leng Qing was unwilling to say more, Tang Yue turned her gaze to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and told Tang Yue everything that had happened between the two of them earlier.

After listening to Lin Chen's narration, and combining it with the conversation she had heard between the two in the kitchen earlier, Tang Yue understood what had happened.

This matter was clearly Leng Qing's problem. Prying into other people's secrets was a taboo for everyone. Strictly speaking, Leng Qing deserved to die!

And Lin Chen's actions were a little playful, but in the final analysis, it was still Leng Qing's problem.

However, she was still clear about Leng Qing's identity. At a young age, she became a high-level official of the Inquisition. Once upon a time, Leng Qing was Tang Yue's goal.

Knowing Leng Qing's character, Tang Yue naturally understood Leng Qing's desire for strength, so this matter seemed big or small to her, and from Lin Chen's actions towards Leng Qing, Lin Chen didn't seem to have any feelings for such an ice beauty, but Lingling beside Leng Qing aroused Tang Yue's suspicion.

"Could it be that Lin Chen is interested in such loli?" Tang Yue couldn't help but think.
