Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

To be honest, Lin Chen really fell for this type. Women, being gentle and delicate, can easily arouse a man's desire to protect them.

Mu Ningxue understood Lin Chen very well and naturally knew his preferences. Seeing Jiang Shaoxu easily manipulating Lin Chen, she secretly felt pleased.

"Alright, your brother will accompany you on this trip!" Lin Chen said reluctantly!

Jiang Shaoxu smiled and took Lin Chen's arm, saying, "Let's go, my dear brother!"

...

With Lin Chen surrounded by the two women, they left Yanming Temple, and under many envious gazes, they finally arrived in the city.

Once in the city, the atmosphere immediately changed. Xixiong City was very clean, with special island-style slopes, winding mountain roads, and houses built on both sides in a staggered manner. There were independent courtyards, a few old trees, perfect for spending an entire afternoon...

Along the way, the three of them chatted and laughed. With Jiang Shaoxu's addition, Mu Ningxue's face showed more smiles than before. Jiang Shaoxu would tease them from time to time, creating some playful moments.

Women are naturally fond of shopping. When they reached the relatively bustling main street, the two women only bought some skincare products and snacks, but even so, they still enjoyed browsing immensely.

As they were preparing to return, they spotted an izakaya, located at the intersection of two less bustling streets, backed by a rising hillside, with lanterns and wooden signs displaying the menu in Japanese!

As soon as Jiang Shaoxu saw this kind of small izakaya, she seemed to lose all resistance. She said to Mu Ningxue, "Let's go, let's have a few drinks!"

Perhaps Mu Ningxue had always lived like a well-behaved girl. Finally having a "bestie" with a contrasting personality to accompany her, out of curiosity, Mu Ningxue nodded without hesitation. The two women didn't even bother to ask if Lin Chen agreed and directly walked into the izakaya!

The alcohol in those Japanese drinks wasn't strong, but the after-effects were significant. After a few drinks, Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue's faces turned red. Perhaps due to the alcohol, their gestures and movements exuded a hint of charm and enchanting freedom, but more so, a dazed look in their eyes.

The three of them had awakened their Martial Souls, and their physiques were very strong, so it was difficult for them to get drunk no matter how much they drank!

The izakaya owner was in a good mood and started chatting with them. After learning that the three of them were staying at Yanming Temple, he even mentioned some things about the temple.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Lin Chen took the arms of the two women and left the izakaya. As the saying goes, it's not the wine that intoxicates people, but the atmosphere. With such a beautiful scene and wonderful time, Lin Chen was already in high spirits. On the way back, he found a deserted place and brought the two women back to the Spirit Realm.

Suddenly changing environments to a beautiful paradise shocked Jiang Shaoxu. After Lin Chen explained, Jiang Shaoxu calmed down.

At the same time, Mu Ningxue reacted and understood why Lin Chen had suddenly brought them back to the Spirit Realm.

But by the time she understood, she realized it was too late. Lin Chen had already brought the two women back to the bedroom in the Spirit Realm.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous. The two women, already slightly tipsy, yielded to Lin Chen's advances, allowing Lin Chen to experience a different kind of feeling!

Late at night, the three of them washed up one after another and left the Spirit Realm. Although the living environment in the Spirit Realm was very comfortable, they still chose to return to Yanming Temple. After all, it was a training exercise, and leaving the team felt a bit inappropriate.

After this wonderful memory, the "bestie" relationship between Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue became even stronger. A bond forged through shared experiences isn't something to be taken lightly.

The three of them quickly returned to Yanming Temple. Usually, the people in the temple didn't use electric lights much to save money, and they generally used oil lamps. This was indeed very old-fashioned, but when Lin Chen and the others returned, the electric lights were on. They could already see the blurry shadows cast by the houses, and someone was walking back and forth inside.

"Did you find it?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"No, it seems he really disappeared!" Jiang Yu said.

As the two were talking, Lin Chen and the others pushed the door open and entered. A group of people's gazes immediately focused on them, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously, seeing the strange atmosphere in the room.

"Zhao Manyan is in trouble. He's currently unconscious, and his soul has fallen into a deep sleep," Nan Jue said.

"Is there really a ghost coming to steal souls?" Jiang Shaoxu asked in surprise.

Ai Jiangtu asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Jiang Shaoxu explained, "The people at the foot of the mountain said that this temple often has soul-stealing incidents, and the victims are all male..."

The more Jiang Shaoxu spoke, the more scared she became, and her voice trembled a little!

Girls are always afraid of some supernatural things!

Hearing this, the expressions of the others were very unsightly. Mo Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked Lin Chen, "Brother Chen, do you know how to solve it?"

In Mo Fan's heart, Lin Chen was somewhat mysterious. Many things that he didn't know, Lin Chen knew. Zhao Manyan was also Mo Fan's best friend, so Mo Fan had very high expectations for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen also briefly explained the soul-stealing incident, which was a supplementary explanation to Jiang Shaoxu's statement.

"If we want Zhao Manyan to recover now, we must first solve that ghost!"

"Where is the ghost?" Ai Jiangtu asked. As the team leader, he couldn't escape responsibility for the disappearance of a team member.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "When we came back, we didn't notice anything unusual, so the possibility of it being in the back mountain is higher!"

Ai Jiangtu said, "Everyone, let's split into several groups, but be sure not to act alone. You guys go ask the old monks if there's anything strange about this temple. You guys go check the places Zhao Manyan visited before, and pay attention to some plants, because there's a higher possibility that he was poisoned..."

After Ai Jiangtu gave some instructions, everyone began to act separately. Lin Chen, Mo Fan, Nan Jue, Ai Jiangtu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Ningxue formed a group. No matter what, Zhao Manyan was also a student of the Magic City Academy, so Lin Chen naturally had to do his part!

Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue, needless to say, naturally followed Lin Chen. On the other hand, Nan Jue and Ai Jiangtu were more willing to stay in this group. Not to mention the strength of Lin Chen's team, but at least those infighting issues wouldn't happen.

The path to the back mountain was longer than expected. The stone lanterns on both sides of the path were already covered by weeds, and even some lush branches had extended to the road, crossing and blocking pedestrians.

Obviously, the plants here weren't very welcoming to people entering. Lin Chen directly used Fire magic to burn the weeds in front of him clean.

The path began to slope upwards along the side of the mountain. Just as it extended to a high platform at the edge of the valley, the group saw a very ancient brick building. It was hidden beneath the thick canopy of trees and shielded by weeds and bushes.
