Chapter 37: Thinking Quite Wildly

……

After saying goodbye to Ye Chang, Lv Cheng looked toward Tang Yue, who was hiding in the shadows.

"What, are you jealous?"

The corner of Tang Yue's eye twitched slightly as she walked out. "I can't afford to be jealous of you, but... when did you two meet?"

The temperament of that woman just now did not seem like a local from Bo City, and she had never heard Lv Cheng mention her before; could it be that some noble family had sent her to use a honey trap?

Over the past year, quite a few High-level Mages had come to Bo City in secret, all of them targeting this kid.

Lv Cheng had discovered those people, and whenever he was outside, he had deliberately stayed close to her, creating the illusion that he had already been recruited by the Judgment Court; it was she who had intercepted those people in secret under the name of the Judgment Court, which was why this guy had been able to stay in Bo City safely until now.

Yet in reality, regarding the matter of the Judgment Court, Lv Cheng's answer had been quite direct!

"In your dreams!"

Just those three words, nothing else!

"It was during the vacation after I released the sub-dragon," Lv Cheng said.

Tang Yue's eye twitched. "So you knew she was likely harboring malicious intentions toward you?"

"Of course," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"But it doesn't matter, I have malicious intentions toward her too!"

Ye Chang's feelings for him were strange; judging by the situation that night, it seemed she regarded him as a substitute for Wen Tai.

Perhaps there was something about him that resembled Wen Tai.

However, Ye Chang's mental state was very unstable. After they parted that night, Shendu, acting as a secret agent, remained at Ye Chang's residence to observe the changes in this woman.

The final conclusion reached was that when in his presence versus when not in his presence, Ye Chang's mind and soul were different!

For example, what Ye Chang had just displayed in front of him was the image of a young, enthusiastic daughter of a wealthy family, and her attitude and feelings toward him were not faked in the slightest, all coming from the heart; however, after turning away, her mind and soul underwent a certain subtle change.

In other words, Ye Chang likely had a mental disorder, or perhaps, a split personality.

The legendary two-faced nature.

"You really need to be careful," Tang Yue's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"These noble families are the type to eat people without spitting out the bones."

"Still saying you aren't jealous?" Lv Cheng found it somewhat amusing.

"Ungrateful wretch!" Tang Yue glared at Lv Cheng and turned to leave.

"I haven't forgotten your kindness," Lv Cheng followed after her.

"Really?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow.

Lv Cheng had more tricks up his sleeve than she did!

And this guy was a high-level player!

No matter when, he always presented himself as innocent and naive, understanding nothing, looking especially easy to bully and easy to fool.

But in reality, this guy understood everything; he just didn't say it, and he never showed it.

"Of course it's true, don't you know what kind of person I am by now?" Lv Cheng said.

Tang Yue paused. "If it were before, I would have been very confident about that, but now, I really don't dare to believe it."

Great wisdom often appears as stupidity.

She hadn't quite believed this old saying before, but her contact with Lv Cheng over these past few years had made her deeply realize the weight of these four words!

Lv Cheng had almost completely figured her out, even managing to trick her identity out of her, but as for this guy, she had gone from thinking she saw through him at the beginning to feeling a bit unconfident later on, and now, she admitted she couldn't understand what he was thinking at all.

The closer she got, the more distant he felt.

To tell the truth, sometimes she was even a little afraid of Lv Cheng.

She was terrified that this kid might sell her out at any moment!

And she probably wouldn't even realize it if she were sold!

"You're starting to doubt me already?" Lv Cheng was somewhat disappointed.

"Stop!" Tang Yue hurriedly interrupted.

"Don't try to infect me with your rogue emotions!"

Lv Cheng's talent for the Psychic element was truly too terrifying; it was on par with a Sufferer!

And this guy could control this ability of his with total ease!

Over these past two years, she had been led astray by Lv Cheng from time to time, and she couldn't detect the process at all; she could only regain her senses when Lv Cheng stopped releasing his emotional infection ability!

No awareness beforehand, no knowledge during, and only a sudden awakening afterward!

Especially after this guy awakened his Psychic element Magic, this power became even more exaggerated!

Previously, when Lv Cheng messed with her, he still needed to invest his own emotions, but now, if this guy wanted to make her cry, she had to cry!

This also resulted in her panicking whenever she saw Lv Cheng having emotional fluctuations!

Last time, this bastard made her cry for an entire day!

Heartbroken!

And this was merely to test how long he could continuously manipulate someone else's emotions!

As for why he didn't control others?

Oh, that really is a good question!

Our great philanthropist Lv couldn't bear to harm the innocent!

Damn it! Wasn't she innocent?

She truly hadn't expected that this seemingly innocent little angel was actually a black-bellied one!

Just like that little girl Ye Xinxia, both of them were white on the outside but black on the inside!

"Alright then," Lv Cheng shrugged, giving up on today's portion of teasing Tang Yue.

"You are leaving, aren't you?"

Tang Yue was stunned, "How did you know?"

She had been in Bo City for so long, yet there was no news of the Totem, no news of the Black Vatican, and on top of that, the matter regarding Lv Cheng had been delayed without a clear result; the Judgment Court already suspected she had been "corroded" by Lv Cheng and was now preparing to transfer her back.

"Did you forget the most basic mind-reading ability of the Psychic element?" Lv Cheng said with amusement.

The corner of Tang Yue's eye twitched, "You wouldn't happen to be doing that all the time, would you..."

"Most of the time, yes," Lv Cheng said.

Tang Yue's face flushed, "Even at night..."

"I saw it," Lv Cheng nodded.

"I have to say, your thoughts are truly wild."

Tang Yue was also reaching an age where she was like a wolf or a tiger; especially at night, when a lone man and woman were in the same room, it was normal for her to have lewd thoughts.

Coupled with the fact that he always remained unmoved and kept himself chaste, Tang Yue was already somewhat exasperated.

"However, I am not here to discuss bedroom skills with you right now," Lv Cheng said.

"I encountered Black Beast Demons."

"..."

"Black Beast Demons?!"

Tang Yue's expression stiffened, "You... you didn't get hurt, did you?"

Black Beast Demons were different from ordinary demons; that thing's speed was extremely fast and it was adept at sneak attacks, and the Psychic Magic that Lv Cheng was most proficient in was of no use against Black Beast Demons.

"Do you think that's possible?" Lv Cheng looked strange.

An Intermediate Mage who was an Intermediate Level Grade 3 Fire Element, Intermediate Level Grade 2 Summoning Element, and Intermediate Level Grade 2 Psychic element—could he still get hurt facing Black Beast Demons?

How pathetic would that be?

"This..." Tang Yue was stunned.

She had forgotten that Lv Cheng was a monster; he cultivated three elements simultaneously!

He had only awakened the Psychic element last year, and it was already at Intermediate Level Grade 2!

If it weren't for the information from the Judgment Court that a Calamity User of the Psychic element already existed, she would have suspected that Lv Cheng was a Psychic element Calamity User!

"How many did you encounter?" Tang Yue asked.

"More than ten, and there was also one Curse Beast Demon," Lv Cheng said.

"Curse Beast Demon?!" Tang Yue was shocked.

A Warrior-level Curse Beast Demon had appeared?

"Where did you encounter them?" Tang Yue asked anxiously.

With Curse Beast Demons appearing, the Black Vatican's movements were definitely not small!

"A small factory, but that place has already been destroyed by me, and the Black Beast Demons have been reduced to nothing," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"Why..."

"Don't ask me why I did this; I don't want to bring trouble upon myself. The sub-dragon of the Summoning Element has already made me eye-catching enough. If I continue to be eye-catching, I fear there are people whose eyes won't be able to tolerate my existence," Lv Cheng interrupted.

The Magic Association did indeed have strict protection for young Mages, but this was not absolute; humans, as a species, had always been prone to disregarding rules.

Tang Yue was momentarily speechless; Lv Cheng truly could not afford to be eye-catching any longer.

"I am willing to tell you this because I think you are worth trusting, and with so many things from the Black Vatican appearing at once, there will definitely be other troubles ahead. I hope you can use your connections in the Judgment Court to protect this city," Lv Cheng said.

"And, as far as today goes, I said nothing."

Tang Yue was stunned, then nodded, "Understood."

"As long as you understand, don't let down the trust I have in you." Lv Cheng turned around, waved his hand, and left.

As for Zhankong, he had already notified him a few days ago, using the soul-leaving ability of the Sheep Talisman to send Zhankong a dream.

Hopefully, that guy would have some reaction.
