As the saying goes, wealth never lasts beyond three generations.
If the head of the Ska family had known this old saying, would he still feel comforted by Tony befriending a Golden tier Grand Mage?
Leaving the house, Tony's expression gradually shifted from one of great relief to coldness.
"Take me to Grand Mage Teng Village."
"Young Master Tony, the Master just spoke to you. You can't act rashly again at this time and anger the Master," Giles said, frowning slightly as he sensed something was wrong. "I think you should stay within the clan for a while, and wait until..."
Unfortunately, before Giles could finish, he saw Tony's chilling gaze.
"I'll take you."
"Giles, I also advise you not to ruin my plans," Tony whispered, his voice stern. "When you accompanied me on mercenary missions, you didn't take care of me, causing me shame. I haven't had a chance to settle this score with you yet. If you dare to report me to my father, then the two of us might have to settle both old and new debts."
Giles, who was leading the way, remained silent. kAnshu伍.ξà
About ten minutes later—
"Young Master Tony."
Teng Village, who had been settled in the clan and was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the scenery, came forward with a smile.
"Grand Mage Teng Village, are you satisfied with the environment?" Tony's eyes were also filled with a smile. Teng Village's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. "Satisfied, satisfied."
Although he knew that a Golden tier Grand Mage held a distinguished position in the underground world.
He had no idea that he would receive such treatment.
The scenery in the courtyard was pleasant.
There were also several human women serving him, and although he had only been in the courtyard for less than an hour, he was already captivated.
The place he was staying in was far better than his tribe in the wilderness.
He even had the urge to stay with the Ska family.
Little did he know, this was also the Ska family's intention. They treated Teng Village this way, hoping to make Teng Village feel their重视.
To make him have the thought of staying here.
If Teng Village thought that way, the Ska family had already succeeded.
"Young Master Tony, the nobility's attention to Teng Village makes me feel flattered," Teng Village said, rubbing his hands with a smile. He then noticed the bloodstain on the corner of Tony's mouth and his expression turned serious. "Young Master Tony, what happened to you..."
"I got slapped twice by the old man, but it's fine."
Tony casually waved his hand and shrugged, saying, "The city guards caused some trouble for our family, and it all started because of me. Getting slapped twice is no big deal."
"Ah, I see..."
Teng Village responded softly, and Tony's expression changed.
"Grand Mage Teng Village, actually, the reason I'm here is to talk to you about the person in this painting. Are you interested?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then shall we go inside to talk?"
"Please!"
Teng Village gestured for Tony to enter the courtyard. Before he moved, Tony gave Giles a warning glance.
Giles, who had been warned, lowered his head in silence.
After Teng Village and Tony sat down at the table in the courtyard, he let out a sigh, a hint of worry in his eyes.
...
...
...
Day and night alternated.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu had been in the city for several days. The number of survivors in the city had increased significantly compared to the beginning. Most areas of the city were still desolate, and could even be described as in ruins.
However—
rows upon rows of houses were already being built, adding a touch of vibrancy.
At this moment, in a desolate area of the city, where there were no buildings and only wild grass, the scorching light of the underground seemed to favor this place.
The entire area was like a giant steamer.
The temperature was more than double that of other areas.
Visible heat waves were blowing outwards with the wind. And in this wilderness, Chen Yu was sitting cross-legged on the ground. With his eyes slightly closed, he was emitting heat from his body. The fire element in the surrounding elements was unbelievably dense.
"Hoo~"
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, Chen Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, showed a pained expression. He suddenly opened his eyes, propped himself up with his hands, and panted heavily.
His eyes were full of exhaustion, but not a single drop of sweat trickled from his body.
Only white mist lingered around him.
"Here~"
At this moment, a fair little hand holding a bottle of ice spring water came to Chen Yu. Chen Yu, who was panting, raised his hand and took the spring water.
Gulp, gulp.
His throat worked vigorously, and within half a minute, he drank the 1-liter bottle of ice spring water.
Even so, he still felt a little thirsty.
"Is there more?"
"This is enough. You're not really lacking water right now. If you drink too much, I'm afraid you'll wet yourself," a low voice came from his ear.
Chen Yu looked sideways, and what met his eyes were a pair of fair, straight, slender legs.
His gaze moved slightly upwards again.
A short skirt?!
No underwear?
"You want to die!"
Bang!
Before Chen Yu could even see the color, his back of the head was hit hard. Chen Yu, who was hit, covered his head and glared.
"Why did you hit me? Did I ask you to wear a skirt?"
"You old pervert, I'll beat you to death!" an enraged shout came from the girl's mouth. However, before she could make a move, she was pulled back by a woman with a voluptuous figure and a magnificent chest. "It's okay, it's not the first day you've known Chen Yu. Isn't he always like this?"
The pulled-back demon girl wrinkled her nose, and Chen Yu grinned at Sona, winking.
But—
Sona also responded as if she had received a signal.
"Hey, what secret code are you two exchanging over there?" the demon girl said, rolling her eyes after noticing this scene. Sona smiled and ignored her, then looked at Chen Yu and said, "This time, your deep meditation time is half an hour longer than last time."
"Oh~"
Deep meditation.
This had been Chen Yu's required course during this period.
Perhaps his magical talent was truly astonishing, and it would be a waste to neglect it. Or perhaps, Sona and Barbara were indeed bored.
For the past few days, besides handling some official duties, Chen Yu had been immersed in magical cultivation.
Cultivation was simple.
Meditation.
It was about sitting on the ground and sensing the elements. As for what the effect was, or what level he had reached, he actually had no idea. The only thing that made Chen Yu feel somewhat relieved was that Sona had confirmed during this time that he was not of the demon race.
The reason was also simple, and it made Chen Yu very proud.
The demon race.
Should not have his monstrous magical talent.
"It's really disheartening to compare people. I used to be happy for a long time if I could improve my deep meditation by one minute each time. But you, you started with two hours, and then kept increasing by half an hour each time." Sona sighed in amazement beside him.
Chen Yu had long been accustomed to such remarks.
Simply put,
He had become somewhat immune to the praise.
"You've said so much, but what am I meditating for every day?" Chen Yu spread his hands. Sona frowned and said, "Of course, it's to make you stronger."
"But, who am I going to fight?"
Chen Yu said with confusion in his eyes.
"I still don't know why I've been meditating for so many days, and you all praise me to the heavens. What is my strength, exactly?"
"You want to know?"
"Ah..."
However, the moment Chen Yu responded, Sona and Barbara exchanged a knowing smile, making Chen Yu suddenly regret it.
He—
seemed to have walked into a trap.
And this trap was something they had been planning for a long time!
