Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 173 Purification of the Evil Pearl

Saturday.

Lin Ran still went to the Qingtian Hunting House. Originally, he planned to postpone it for a few days, but Lingling refused to agree. As long as Lin Ran didn't come, she would have to go to school. However, she couldn't stand the stupid classmates around her anymore. Lingling couldn't stand it anymore and bombarded Lin Ran with phone calls every day. Lin Ran had no choice but to go to the Qingtian Hunting House.

This morning Ai Tutu invited Lin Ran to her house to play, and he had originally planned to agree, but he didn't go because of Lingling.

To be honest, he didn't really want to come to Qingtian Hunting House, because old man Bao wanted to beat him up all the time. He couldn't hide the look in his eyes that showed he wanted to stab him. It was all Lingling's fault. Don't say things that might lead to misunderstandings.

When he arrived at the Qingtian Hunting Ground, Lingling was spinning a pen and staring at a certain place in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Lin Ran walked in front of Lingling. Lingling felt someone blocking the sunlight, frowned slightly and then raised her head.

Lingling's expression instantly changed from dull to happy and then to a smirk.

This guy was about to do something bad, so he took a step back.

As expected, Lingling threw herself at him and said sweetly, "Dear."

Lin Ran quickly avoided Lingling's hug. He saw Old Man Bao rushing out trembling all over, holding a kitchen knife, and Leng Qing, who was wearing sportswear, also came out.

He quickly smiled to indicate that Lingling was playing a prank.

He opened his mouth and said, "Hey, hello."

Old Man Bao snorted coldly and then went back into the house. Leng Qing walked up to him, tapped Lingling on the head and said, "Be reserved."

"Hmm..." Lingling glared at him fiercely, obviously holding a grudge against him.

Lin Ran sighed and said, "Long time no see."

"Well..., did anything happen to you in the island country?" Leng Qing said.

Lin Ran also has another problem in his hand, which is the Ninghua Evil Pearl. He had asked about what to do with the Wangyue Sword before, but he didn't expect that the old guy actually wanted him to carry it for the rest of his life, and also said that this way it would not affect other people.

To be honest, he was a little broken. He cursed and said that he would throw the beads into the city of the island country. Mochizuki Mingjian also cursed. He said that Lin Ran destroyed Mochizuki Chixun's innocence, and now Mochizuki Chixun was still receiving punishment.

In short, the two of them cursed at each other for a long time, and only after Wangyue Mingjian said that he would compensate him did he reluctantly accept the beads.

After that, he chatted with Leng Qing for a while and then found Old Man Bao, because Old Man Bao seemed to have a way to solve the evil thoughts inside.

Old Man Bao snorted coldly and said that he would only help deal with the beads if he was paid 100 million yuan.

How could Lin Ran have so much money now? He sneered.

Old Bao took the beads away with a sour face.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like the problem with the beads could be solved.

"Let's go! Let's go carry out the mission." Lingling said excitedly.

Of course he wouldn't refuse, after all, he was very short of money now.

……

evening.

Lingling sat on a tall building with a lollipop in her mouth. She held a tablet computer and observed Lin Ran's every move.

"Did you find it?" Lingling asked.

"Well, I found it. There is a skinned male corpse here. He has been dead for no more than two days. He should be the target." Lin Ran's voice came from the earphone.

"A skinning monster. Even though it can use human skin to disguise itself, it is still very easy to be discovered. A man's wife can easily find out what's going on..." Lingling said.

"I... I just want to live in peace. Why do you want to disturb me?" A hoarse voice appeared behind Lingling.

A young man in a suit looked at Lingling's petite body with scarlet eyes. He thought he could hide forever, but he was discovered and only disguised for two days.

"Demons also want to be human? Are you dreaming?" Lingling looked back at the young man in a suit and tie, not showing any fear at all.

"Hehehe..."

The young man began to twist his body, tearing his suit open with his fingers, and his skin was also torn open.

A closer look revealed a layer of green scales beneath the skin, and the young man was tearing at his clothes and skin.

"Aren't you going to run away?" The demon with green scales all over its body, sharp teeth and an ugly face growled. It placed its claws on the wall and then easily stabbed into the wall.

The claws made a harsh sound against the wall.

"There's no need, because you're going to die soon." Lingling said.

"Ha ha ha ~." The demon was fed up with Lingling's contemptuous tone. She was just a human girl, but she was so arrogant that it really made it unhappy.

It took a quick step and rushed towards Lingling, waving its sharp claws. The little girl couldn't avoid it at all.

Just as it was about to approach Lingling, a silver light flashed, and then it felt the space around it solidify, and the powerful binding force made it unable to move at all.

"Lingling, are you okay?" A cute elf flapped its wings and appeared in front of Lingling. She had been staying by Lingling's side to prevent any demons from attacking Lingling.

"Guangling, I'm fine." Lingling said. The elf in front of her was Lin Ran's contracted beast. It was very powerful, at least stronger than most mages.

Noticing some unusual movements around Lingling, Lin Ran quickly rushed to Lingling's location. Although the Light Spirit was there, it was still better to go and take a look. When he arrived, the demon had already been controlled.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Lin Ran asked. If Lingling didn't have anything to ask, he would kill this demon.

"No." Lingling shook her head.

Lin Ran raised his hand and flames suddenly appeared. The flames turned into a dragon head and swallowed the demon in one gulp. The demon quickly disappeared in the flames.

After praising Guang Ling, Lin Ran let her enter the contract space to rest.

Then Lingling and Lin Ran left.

After the two of them arrived, a figure appeared.

This is a graceful woman. She murmured to herself, "From now on, I will be able to live with this identity."

She hated crude monsters because monsters did nothing but eat and were completely meaningless, unlike humans who had rich and colorful things. She liked all kinds of things, whether it was architecture or various inventions.

Next, you can date a handsome boyfriend.

The graceful woman left quickly with a smile.

……the next day!
Lingling received a large sum of money, a full 10 million. She took a part of it and then gave most of it to Lin Ran. After all, Lin Ran needed the money more now.

But she soon regretted it, because this guy was chatting with her female classmates. The little girls were all eager to hang out with him. These girls were a bunch of idiots. They couldn't take their eyes off handsome guys. Don't they know that what is good is what is inside?

Lingling walked up to the group with a cold face.

The little girls were chattering, and it seemed that they wanted to get along well with Lingling. Although Lingling had a cold face, she didn't just tell the girls to get out.

Lin Ran played with a few little girls for a while and then left.

After arriving at the Pearl Magic Academy, he went straight to the Three-Step Pagoda and practiced hard.

The people guarding the Three-Step Pagoda basically all knew him. After all, he had been here many times. Every time he came, the people guarding the tower were very jealous. However, there was no one so blind as to offend Lin Ran. After all, Lin Ran was now one of the few people in Mingzhu Magic Academy who could not be provoked.

In the afternoon, Lin Ran walked out of the three-step tower quickly.

After having a free meal at Zhao Manyan’s hotel, Lin Ran returned to the Qingtian Hunting Ground.

At this time, Old Man Bao put a beautiful bead in a small box. This small bead was the Ninghua Evil Bead, which still looked very beautiful after being purified.

Before Lin Ran could say anything, Old Man Bao spoke up, “This thing is useless to you, but it is very important to Mo Fan. Send it to Mo Fan in a few days. This thing is now equivalent to an energy storage device. It can help Mo Fan better use the power of the demon system... Since it is for Mo Fan, I won’t charge you for it.”

Lin Ran nodded and picked up the bead. He looked at it and said, "Are you really free of evil thoughts?"

Seeing that he asked a question with some doubt, Old Man Bao got angry. He glared at Lin Ran and said, "Get lost. I don't have such a blind hunter."

Seeing the old man puffing his beard and glaring, he laughed and said, "I have no eyes, I have no eyes, so I will take the pearl away."

Old Bao nodded.

After putting away the beads, Lin Ran went outside and sat with Lingling.

Lingling rubbed her head and said tiredly: "I hate children..."

It seems that Lingling has spent a lot of energy dealing with the little girls before. Lin Ran feels like laughing, and the corners of his mouth rise slightly.

Lingling naturally caught his gloating smile. She looked at him and said, "Are you happy?"

“When I was your age, I was still slacking off with Mo Fan and the others.” Lin Ran said cheerfully. Magic was learned in high school, so they basically played it all the time in junior high school. They had a lot of fun almost every day and were often scolded for catching fish.

"Little brat." Lingling said.

Lin Ran cheerfully said that she should play with girls more often.

Lingling showed a disgusted expression and said, "I would rather deal with demons than play with them. They are all so stupid and like to judge people by their appearance. They are really hopeless."

Lin Ran listened to Lingling's complaints.

After a long time, Lingling went to help sort things out. Lin Ran had originally planned to help, but he received a message from Tang Yue, probably saying that there was something that needed his help.

After saying goodbye to Lingling, he left quickly.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, the first person to pick him up was not Tang Yue but Totem Black Snake. This big guy showed up at the airport openly and scared many outsiders, but the locals were used to it. They happily introduced Totem Black Snake to outsiders as their patron saint.

"Mom! The big snake has lowered its head." A little girl said with some fear. She came here for tourism and heard that there was a guardian snake here, so she wanted to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw it as soon as she arrived. But the snake was too big, wasn't it? It was even taller than the building.

A young man next to the little girl smiled and said, "It's my friend."

The little girl's mother looked at the young man and said, "Boasting."

The little girl's father pushed up his glasses and said, "Little brother, don't talk nonsense."

The little girl's father's legs were shaking a little, but he couldn't show any fear now.

Lin Ran didn't say anything.

A moment later, the snake's head fell in front of everyone, or to be more precise, it fell in front of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran jumped up quickly and said, "Thank you."

"They really are here to pick him up. It's awesome that they can ride a snake like this." A wizard muttered to himself. He could vaguely feel how terrifying the giant snake's power was.

The little girl looked at Lin Ran's back. She imagined that Lin Ran would half-kneel in front of her like a gentleman and then invite her to walk to the huge head of the snake together. In this way, she would definitely be the focus of the whole audience. However, this was just a fantasy.

The totem black snake brought Lin Ran to a small island. When he jumped to the ground, he saw a graceful figure with a body that was so mature that it could drip with water, and a face that was charming and enchanting yet revealed a bit of purity.

This is his teacher Tang Yue. He straightened his appearance and then walked up to Tang Yue and said, "Teacher, here I come."

"Just right, come and help prepare food for the black snake." Tang Yue was busy.

Lin Ran was a little disappointed. It seemed that the totem black snake was more important to her.

Tang Yue said as she processed the meat: "This is a special ingredient. Most of it is poisonous, but the black snake likes to eat it very much, and it will increase its strength after eating it. Now its strength is much stronger than before. As a result, no demons dare to make trouble here, and some demons are even staying away from here."

Tang Yue was very happy, and when she was happy, Lin Ran was also a little happier. He touched the scales of the totem black snake and said, "Thank you, big guy, for helping me raise a big wife."

Tang Yue's face turned red. She knocked on Lin Ran's head and said, "What are you talking about? Hurry up."

"Oh."

After they finished their work, Tang Yue took Lin Ran to eat.

After dinner, Tang Yue did not take Lin Ran to the trial meeting, but took Lin Ran back to her apartment. Lin Ran naturally knew exactly what she wanted to do.

Tang Yue gently accepted everything from Lin Ran.

Tang Yue was like a sweet marshmallow, making Lin Ran feel as if he was immersed in softness. The softer she was, the more he wanted to try his best.

……

The next morning.

The first person to get up was Tang Yue. She ran to the bathroom to wash herself before waking up Lin Ran.

"Teacher..., can you move a little?" Lin Ran murmured to himself.

Tang Yue's face flushed. She rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and said, "Hurry up and get up. We still have to go to the trial meeting."

Lin Ran silently opened his eyes and said, "I understand."

Another month has passed...Thank you for seeing me now. I really appreciate it. I bow down to you.
