Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 839: Revenge?

”Who are you?” Ling Han asked, already realizing this person was the same who kidnapped him.

The figure silently stared at him for a few moments before he heard a voice, which he was sure wasn’t this person’s real voice, ”Who I am is not of any importance. What is important is that you truthfully tell me everything I ask you otherwise... you will be killed.”

”Hm?” When contrary to this person’s expectation Ling Han didn’t panic nor looked afraid, they couldn’t help but become surprised.

Before they could do anything to change it, Ling Han spoke, ”Go ahead, senior, ask whatever you want. If I can answer, I will, but if I can’t... well you have to just kill me.”

’How troublesome!’ The person, who was none other than Uncle Yagui, the emperor with the Young King Mage who had invited Esme for desserts, couldn’t help but feel helpless upon hearing him.

After staying silent for a moment, he asked, ”What’s the name of that blue-haired brat?”

Ling Han’s eyes narrowed, ’As expected, they are after him.’

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, determined to not say anything and die instead.

Uncle Yagui saw this and said, ”Don’t worry. I won’t kill him.”

”Then why are you interested in him?” Ling Han shot back.

”If I’m not wrong, he and that woman with him want to join the Beast Emperor Hall. I just want to check if they are people with good character and no objectionable background.” Uncle Yagui calmly said. Then he couldn’t smile wryly, ’I’m really not suited for this kind of thing. Unfortunately, I have to obey that brat’s unreasonable demands, sigh!’

Ling Han was suspicious but thinking the chances of someone strong like him lying just to get some information about Max, which he could easily find through other sources, wasn’t too high, he opened his mouth.

”You can rest assured about their characters—they are very good people, completely unlike others who don’t hesitate to kill and pillage for their selfishness. As for their background, I’ll have to disappoint you because I don’t know anything about it.”

Uncle Yagui stared at him before he said, ”You know people like you tend to die early.”

Ling Han understood what he meant and just smiled. So what if he dies? At least he wouldn’t have betrayed his benefactor.

He then watched as the figure waved their hand and he lost consciousness. When he came to, he found himself standing in the same location he was attacked—in front of the inn.

He checked his body and found his mana core and veins were no longer sealed.

’Were that person really someone from the Beast Emperor Hall?’ His eyes flickered in thought. After hesitating because he knew Max wasn’t in a good mood due to what happened a while before, he took out his communication crystal and relayed everything that just happened to him.

[...Please be careful, Young Master.]

...

Max’s mind whirled in thought after he got Ling Han’s message before his eyes lit up, ”He should be that Emperor. Because Esme rejected that guy, his ego was bruised and in his anger, he sent the Emperor to dig out the information about us, wanting to take revenge?”

Max felt his guess had at least 70-80% chances of being correct.

”Luckily, the Emperor isn’t a cruel one and somewhat disagrees with his Young Master, otherwise he wouldn’t have let Ling Han return in one piece.”

He muttered to himself before he stopped thinking about it. He had bigger problems than a bratty young master to worry about. Of course, he wasn’t taking him lightly, but he felt he wouldn’t cause too much trouble, but even if he did, he would worry about it then as there was no point in doing so right now.

His thoughts went back to the cursemencer.

After thinking for a long time, he figured out several ways to avoid and protect himself from him, but they all involved hiding and pleading others for help, which he wasn’t willing to do.

Still, he wouldn’t hesitate if the situation really demanded it. After all, he didn’t want to die just to keep his pride intact—he still had a long life to enjoy with his beauties.

”Let’s hope he doesn’t find me too soon.” He sighed before clenching his fists. The permanent and most reliable solution to all problems was strength. If he was strong enough, he could handle anything.

Thinking this, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes in meditation to clear his mind. Then, he slowly and gently started directing the Death Energy Lingering in his brain back to his dantian and Death Core.

It took a few minutes. When he assessed the state of his brain, he sighed and opened his eyes.

It was as he had expected. Even though he had carefully controlled the Death Energy, it was too volatile and had caused some damage to his brain. Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious and he could heal it with Nascent Energy before it became worse.

He then flipped his palm and concentrated.

Wu~

Slowly, Fire Elemental mana condensed into a small sphere of fire at the center of his palm and then at his will, it started to rapidly morph and took shapes of an arrow, a sword, a shield, a spear, a bell and many other things before finally turning into a miniature version of Esme.

Then, he let the mana dissipate, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. ”Soon, I’ll have attained Supreme Mastery over Fire Mana and then I can proceed to comprehend the Law.”

He aimed to at least comprehend the rudimentary form of Fire Law before breaking through to the Five Star realm because not only would it make it easier and safer to break through, the level of difficulty of comprehending the law in Spirit Realm would lower significantly.

This progress in mana mastery was all thanks to Esme’s guidance in this past month. While she didn’t have Fire Element, the process of mastering the mana of all elementals, be it fire or thunder, was similar.

Thanks to her, he believed he would be able to reach Supreme Mastery before he joined the Beast Emperor Hall.

’I should go and see if this city has cultivation chambers.’ He thought and stood up.

Just then...

Knock! Knock!
