Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 310 Research Department Meeting

Lin Ran said, "I can give you shelter, and I can also let you and your Qing Moth live in peace."

Yu Shishi looked at Lin Ran and then said, "You don't know how powerful the Research Institute is. They won't let me go..."

Yu Shishi felt a little sad, and the people from the Research Institute stared at her and bit her like mad dogs.

"That's right. We won't let you go." Suddenly several men came in. They were all high-level mages. The leading man looked at Lin Ran and said contemptuously, "Give her shelter? Who do you think you are?"

A scoundrel-looking guy made a face at Lin Ran and said, "You have to choose the person you are pretending to be."

Yu Shishi bit her lip and said, "Even if I die, I would rather die than be studied by you."

"Hehe, this is not up to you." The leading man snorted coldly.

Lin Ran walked up to the young man who had made a face at him just now and said that most problems in this world can be solved with fists.

"You wanna fight, kid?" The young man said with a look of disdain on his face.

Lin Ran kicked the young man away and said, "Yu Shishi is my person, do you want to touch her?"

The leading man wanted to use magic, but Lin Ran just looked over. The man suddenly felt that he was facing a monster, an extremely terrifying monster, and he felt his whole body stiff.

Lin Ran walked up to Yu Shishi, untied the chains, and then said, "She is a special consultant of the Inquisition... How dare you treat her like this? Are you so great?"

Yu Shishi was very weak now. She felt somewhat relieved leaning on Lin Ran's arms. She asked, "Are you from the Inquisition?"

"I am the vice president of the Trial Council..." Lin Ran said and showed his badge.

Several people from the Research Institute immediately looked unhappy, because the person who could become a vice president was at least a single-system super-class, and this person who looked younger than them was actually a super-class magician.

Yu Shishi leaned on Lin Ran and said, "Help me over."

Lin Ran nodded, and then Yu Shishi slapped the leading young man in the face. She said, "This is what you deserve."

Young people are angry but dare not speak out.

Lin Ran said, "Go away."

Several people fled in panic.

Yu Shishi said, "Help me, there is a commander-level demon spider at the water source, and its web prevents my green moth from coming out."

Lin Ran nodded, but he didn't expect that there would be a commander-level demon so close to Anjie.

Seeing Lin Ran readily agree, Yu Shishi asked, "Why are you helping me like this?"

"Because I want to sleep with you." Lin Ran said without hesitation.

"Rogue." Yu Shishi said after a while.

Lin Ran and Yu Shishi quickly arrived at the water source, and then a huge demon spider appeared.

Lin Ran killed it with one slap.

He shook his hands, and the flames burned everything in his hands.

He said, "Don't block the water source, and let the children recover."

Yu Shishi nodded and the green moth she controlled flew towards the town.

Lin Ran sat by the water and said, "It's finally over~."

Yu Shishi sat next to Lin Ran and said, "Thank you."

"Yeah." Lin Ran said casually.

night.

Yu Shishi said, "It's getting dark, let's go to my house and rest for a while."

Lin Ran nodded.

Yu Shishi's house looked very poor. Lin Ran was sitting on a chair playing with his cell phone. Well, he was actually reporting to Dean Xiao, saying that the matter had basically been resolved.

The next second, Dean Xiao called.

"Did you beat up the people from the Research and Development Committee?" Dean Xiao said from the other end. Just now, the people from the Research and Development Committee came to him to accuse Lin Ran of brutality.

"That's right, these scattered coins..." Lin Ran told the story again.

Dean Xiao was silent for a while and then said, "I heard from Mo Fan that Yu Shishi is very beautiful?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but say, "Oh my god, shouldn't you be scolding the Research Institute with me now? Why did you bring this up?"

Yu Shishi sat aside playing with a moth, but in fact she was listening carefully to the conversation between Lin Ran and Dean Xiao.

"is it beautiful?"

"It's okay." Lin Ran looked at Yu Shishi and said.

"Mo Fan, do you want to sleep with me?"

"Damn it! You're the principal, how can you say such things? And he's right next to me!"

"Ah?" Dean Xiao thought Lin Ran was alone so he spoke more openly, but he didn't expect that the girl was right next to Lin Ran.

His old face was filled with embarrassment and he quickly hung up the phone.

Lin Ran put away his phone and said, "I'm going to rest early because I have to write a report tomorrow."

The next morning.

There was a knock on the door, very loudly.

Lin Ran opened his eyes dazedly. He felt someone hanging on him. He rubbed his eyes and found that it was Yu Shishi. She murmured, "No more... My brain is going to break."

Lin Ran: “…”

After putting on his clothes, he opened the door and saw Mo Fan and his contemptuous look.

"Lin Ran, you..." A woman wearing thin clothes came out. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Ran was still there. Then she nodded to Mo Fan and turned to go in to change clothes.

Mo Fan said, "The water source has been restored, and I have something to discuss with you."

"Go ahead." Lin Ran said. "I want to create a power of our own. Mu Ningxue has agreed. What do you think?" Mo Fan said seriously.

Lin Ran's eyes lit up. Damn Yu Shishi just needed a place to live. Mo Fan's suggestion was very good.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Okay."

At this time, Yu Shishi came out and said, "Come in and sit down and chat."

……

For a period of time afterwards, Lin Ran and his companions began to build up their power, but they encountered an attack against Yu Shishi. Lin Ran and his companions naturally dealt with the attack easily, but Yu Shishi also told her secret.

"I hope that what I am going to tell you next will be kept secret by you no matter what, because it is related to the safety of the Moon Moth Phoenix. Although the totem beasts are powerful, they are also extremely fragile in this era. Compared with other demon races that can continue to reproduce and evolve, they are likely to completely disappear from this world because of a man-made disaster." At this time, Yu Shishi was sitting on the cold stone, and said to Lin Ran and others with a sincere face.

“I’ve heard something about the Moon Moth Phoenix before. It seems to be a totem creature from a tribe called Yueli in the south of the Yellow River. It used to rule the entire southern part of the Yellow River and was a relatively prosperous human tribe. But later it seemed to have been annexed by another more powerful human tribe. After that, the totem beast Moon Moth Phoenix gradually disappeared. It is said that the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​the descendant of some of the most ancient and authoritative totems…” Mo Fan immediately told what he knew about the Moon Moth Phoenix.

When submitting the report before, Professor Shi told Lin Ran and him a lot about totem beasts, so now when Yu Shishi mentioned the Moon Moth Phoenix, they could immediately tell a thing or two.

Yu Shishi didn't expect that Lin Ran and the others knew something about the totem beast Moon Moth Phoenix, so she continued, "The Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​a creature that stays in a dormant state for a long time, and once it reaches the end of its lifespan, it will transform into a stone pupa, and then after a very long time it will transform and hatch again, and be reborn again. After each rebirth, they will gain a new lifespan."

“That means the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​now in a stone pupa state, and you are the only one who knows the location where it pupated?” Mo Fan said.

Yu Shishi nodded immediately. The unique fragrance on her body was given by the Moon Moth Phoenix. It seemed that the people from the Research Institute wanted to find clues about the Moon Moth Phoenix from her. Their real target was not her, but the Moon Moth Phoenix.

"I won't tell anyone the place where the Moon Moth Phoenix transformed into a pupae." Yu Shishi said immediately and firmly. Even though she had already had physical contact with Lin Ran, she was unwilling to say it.

"How did you become a moth girl?" Mu Ningxue asked beside Lin Ran.

"I had a serious illness when I was very young. My family thought I was incurable, so they abandoned me in an unfamiliar forest. I also knew that I would not live long, so I kept walking into the forest, and then walked to a place I didn't know, and then I fainted in a warm and humid grass pond... I thought I was dead because I was wrapped in a white thing like a coffin. Later I found out that I was wrapped in a pupa, and I slept in it for many years. When the pupa opened, I was reborn in this white pupa just like the Moon Moth Phoenix. I no longer had the disease, nor the weak body, and I had wings and fangs. My body was almost completely different from that of ordinary people except for the appearance." Yu Shishi recounted her own experience. Speaking of fangs, she glanced at Lin Ran quietly, and Lin Ran seemed to like them very much.

Lin Ran couldn't help coughing a little.

After hearing what Yu Shishi said, they finally understood why Yu Shishi was trying so hard to protect those moths.

Because it was the moths who gave her new life when she was weak, she was free from the torture of illness and even gained power that ordinary people did not have.

The gap between the pain of being abandoned by her family and the redemption of the moths made Yu Shishi more and more determined to think that the moths were her relatives. Once they were hurt, she would immediately become desperate.

"Is the Moon Moth Phoenix really still alive now?" Mo Fan asked.

Yu Shishi nodded immediately and said, "In fact, there are more than one surviving totem beasts, but humans no longer need totem beasts. Some of them are in the mountains and have gradually become full of wild beast habits. Some died in the changes of history and became completely extinct. Some are sleeping in a corner and will no longer wake up for anything. The Moon Moth Phoenix now belongs to the past. It just wants to be as quiet as a stone and watch everything change until the day it dies. I don’t understand why they hold on to the Moon Moth Phoenix. Do they want to tame it and make it fight like a slave? The Moon Moth Phoenix will never become such a slave!"

“Humans used to be more like slaves of totem beasts…” Mo Fan said calmly.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "At that time, humans had very little magic. If there were no totems, humans would probably have suffered more."

“If they are here for the totem beast, they will definitely not give up,” said Mu Ningxue on the side.

“Not many people know about Totem Beasts right now. I guess there are more scheming people behind the Institute giving instructions. You should be more careful and try not to be caught by them.” Mo Fan said.

"Let Bola protect Yu Shishi temporarily." Mu Ningxue said.

Ever since she knew about Yu Shishi's abilities, Mu Ningxue didn't want to lose such a unique territory guardian.

"He has his own mission." Mo Fan would not leave Bola with Yu Shishi.

Several people looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran sighed and said, "Okay, I'll be responsible for her safety."

……

After settling the injured Yu Shishi, Lin Ran and the other two started to discuss the matter.

"This is related to the ancient totem beast, which is no longer a small matter. There must be a big shot behind these guys. If we really want to protect Yu Shishi, we will probably have a lot of trouble." Mo Fan said.

"But if we help her get through this difficult time, she will be devoted to our territory. I can't find anyone who is more capable of protecting the border areas than Yu Shishi," said Mu Ningxue.

Lin Ran said, "You don't have to worry about her safety. Now we should figure out the totem issue. I don't want our country's totem to be taken away."

“Right. Looks like we need to talk to Professor Shi about this. He probably didn’t expect that there are totem beasts alive besides the black totem snake, and the clue is on Yu Shishi.” Mo Fan said.

"Well, it's best to ask clearly."

After that, they went to rest.

Yu Shishi sat in the room, looking at Qinge beside her. She had lost some due to the attack before, and she felt extremely distressed.

Suddenly Qing'e felt something, as if something had entered Lin Ran's room.

Yu Shishi frowned, thinking that nothing could hurt him, but she was still a little worried about him.

Yu Shishi stood up and left the room.

at the same time.

Lin Ran looked up information silently.

Liu Ru sat in his arms, holding his neck and sucking his blood, and Liu Xian did the same, but the two vampire girls were obviously restless, and their hands gradually became more and more unbridled.

They found it very interesting to see Lin Ran standing still.

Suddenly the door opened.

Yu Shishi saw this scene later.

Liu Ru shyly hid in Lin Ran's arms. She was bold only when she was in private with Lin Ran. She was very shy in front of other people.

As the elder sister, Liu Xian was a little bolder. Her hands wandered over Lin Ran's body.

Yu Shishi was stunned for a moment and then said, "It's really lewd."

Lin Ran picked up Liu Ru and put her on the bed, and the little vampire immediately hid under the quilt.

Liu Xian muttered a few words.

The next second, Yu Shishi took a step back and said, "Don't come over."

But Lin Ran had already rushed over, and he said with a grim smile: "Let's have a silver party."
