840. Returning to Alps Academy (Bonus Chapter for Tips, Extra-Long Chapter)

With the black dragon on his person, Tang Miao headed towards the Alps.

The Holy City, located at the western Qidian of the Alps, is jointly governed by the Holy Court of Judgment and the Heterodox Court. It is here that laws are born, laws that all magicians in the world must abide by!

However, when Tang Miao arrived, he did not notice any movement from the Holy City.

Now that the Ancient King is going to show himself, he naturally doesn't need to be a vanguard; doing so would seem like a loss of face.

When Mu Ningxue learned that Qin Yu'er had been tricked into going to the Holy City, she sent the long-dormant Bola here.

As soon as Tang Miao arrived, Bola came to see him immediately.

He could still sense the aura of Demon Blood on Tang Miao very clearly.

"Owner."

Upon seeing Tang Miao, Bola bowed respectfully.

He was somewhat embarrassed, realizing he had almost forgotten that there was such an old vampire in his Moon Snow City.

"Hmm, how is Qin Yu'er doing?"

Bola had no idea that Tang Miao had almost forgotten about her. Hearing Tang Miao's question, he quickly replied, "Master, Miss Qin was indeed captured by the Holy City. I don't know where she's being held, but she's being treated as a heretic, and it's scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

After hesitating for a moment, Bola added, "But I think this is a conspiracy..."

"Yes, I know."

Tang Miao isn't stupid; how could she not see that this was a conspiracy?

"Then, Master... why did you still come?" Bola continued.

"This isn't targeting me, so why can't I come?" Tang Miao had always believed that the purpose of capturing Qin Yu'er and bringing her to the Holy City was to lure out the Ancient King.

After all, he had no idea that the angels were going to do something to him.

Bola glanced at Tang Miao. He didn't think the Holy City Angels wanted to deal with the Ancient King; he was more inclined to believe that Tang Miao was the one they wanted to eliminate.

"If they wanted to lure me here, wouldn't these angels in the Holy City know who to arrest instead?"

He initially suspected that the angels were targeting him, but upon closer reflection, he realized that the people in the Magic Association knew who to arrest, so why wouldn't these angels?

What's the big deal about grabbing Qin Yu'er, who's just asking for lodging?

Isn't this just an attempt to cause trouble for Zhan Kong?

They had tried to capture Qin Yu'er before, but they ruined the first attempt themselves.

This woman was a bit silly; she believed everyone who said Zhan Kong had been captured and came here without telling anyone.

Bola was speechless for a moment, then Tang Miao said, "Since everything's alright now, I'll go check out the Alps Academy."

He didn't even get to see his son last time before trouble came knocking on his door.

Since they've come again, of course I have to go see my son.

Moreover, I heard that the Alps Academy has closed its doors to the public, and its students who were away have been summoned back. If I'm not mistaken, Heidi should have returned to the Alps as well.

He missed those captivating blue eyes terribly.

Apas nearby, reminded them, "Since you're already going to provoke the people of the Holy City, don't go looking for trouble for Blanche and Heidi."

Apas quite liked her two older sisters.

After all, those two women had genuinely taken good care of her back then.

She couldn't possibly agree to it if Tang Miao implicated them.

"Don't you want to go see Blanche and Heidi? They've asked you about it many times," Tang Miao retorted.

Apas shook her head and continued, "It's best if I remain the fragile girl they perceive me to be. If they knew my true identity, they might feel that I was deceiving their feelings before..."

"Look at your pathetic self," Tang Miao said disdainfully.

"I don't care, I'm not going, and you're not allowed to go either..." Apas said to Tang Miao, looking at him with an unreasonable expression.

"I've already put my pants on, what's the point of telling me this?"

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Apas gritted her teeth in anger!

Before she could say anything more, Tang Miao casually tore open a Space Rift.

He swaggered in right outside the Holy City...

Bola sighed inwardly. Although he felt his master was a bit reckless, for some reason, he felt that this was the kind of master he was worthy of his loyalty and sacrifice.

Thousands of years of peace had almost made him forget his true terror...

And today, it seems that it has been rekindled!

Bola thought to herself... With Tang Miao's current strength, coupled with his unique Summoning Element, even if the angels were truly tempting him amidst the impending demons, what could they do?

They had no idea how terrifying demons could be!

Not all angels of holy light can defeat the demons from the dark abyss.

A thousand years ago, the vampires alone dominated the West, and they were led by a demon!

Under its leadership, vampires are all of incomparably noble status.

Unfortunately, demons are not vampires and do not have lifespans of thousands of years. And vampires cannot create a new demon... Ultimately, they will be defeated and banished.

Bola, who was sleeping in Parthenon, thought that this would be his fate forever, but unexpectedly, he witnessed the appearance of two demons by chance.

Moreover, each one is more powerful than the last!

Having followed Tang Miao for so long, Bola has never been disappointed.

Even without awakening the demon within him, Tang Miao could easily crush him now.

Such a master deserves to reignite his passion and drive him wild again...

Above the Alps Academy.

The strange crack reappeared, but this time, perhaps because of the close proximity, Tang Miao emerged from the crack in an instant.

The Space Rift disappeared the moment he emerged.

Upon receiving the news, Dean Perry immediately put down his work and came outside to personally greet him.

Compared to her previous dislike of Tang Miao, she now had no choice but to treat him with great hospitality.

There's no other reason than that Alps Academy cannot afford to offend a Forbidden Curse Mage, especially one who disregards the Five Continents Magic Association and the Holy Court of Judgment.

Although she did not witness the entire battle, she was fully aware of what happened in the Alps Snow Mountain.

Of the seven high-ranking members of the Magic Association, all veterans of forbidden spells, six were dead and one was injured...

How terrifying!

Even an Emperor couldn't do that, could he?

In other words, Tang Miao possessed strength surpassing that of orthodox Emperor.

She had no idea what the Emperor's strength was. In fact, if she hadn't witnessed that battle, even a forbidden spell might have made her feel breathless.

"Tang..." Upon seeing Tang Miao arrive, Dean Perry was about to speak when he suddenly didn't know how to address him.

His name is Tang Miao?

The opponent is very strong...

This is a world where the strong reign supreme.

She doesn't deserve it...

But you call him Lord Tang Miao?

I feel so ashamed...

So, for a moment she was completely stunned.

"Dean Perry, there's no need to be so formal. I'm already very grateful that you didn't refuse my visit," Tang Miao said with a smile, seeing that Dean Perry didn't know how to address him.

It's just a title; it's really not that important to him.

He wasn't a troublesome person, nor did he have any of the fussiness of ancient monarchs.

Most importantly, he's raising his only son here—what's with the pretense?

"Hehe... I was being too polite."

Hearing Tang Miao say this, Dean Perry felt that the once-annoying brat was now surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

"I just came to see Tang Yan, nothing else. Dean Perry, could you give me directions?" Tang Miao continued.

"Certainly."

Dean Perry immediately agreed, and just then he saw Sheryl not far away, so he called her over.

When Sheryl saw Tang Miao, she was quite shocked. She really couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the same person she had once wanted to tease...

Most importantly, she couldn't accept that her teacher had actually had a child with this outspoken guy...

But she was also aware of Tang Miao's current situation, and even more so of that battle.

"Dean, is something the matter?" After glancing at Tang Miao with complicated emotions, Sheryl looked at Dean Perry and asked.

"Take Tang Miao to your teacher's residence to see Tang Yan."

"Yes..."

Sheryl agreed, then glanced at Tang Miao, standing there somewhat awkwardly...

"Let's go." It seemed to be the same problem as Dean Perry, but Tang Miao didn't stand on ceremony with her.

Seeing that he didn't make things difficult for her, Sheryl suddenly felt that perhaps she had been too narrow-minded...

After all, she was Blanche's only disciple.

Thinking about it, since I put his son to sleep every day, he can't bully me, can he?

The two walked one after the other towards the back.

Dean Perry looked at Tang Miao, who readily agreed with his suggestions, and thought to himself: No matter how the world changes, Alps Academy will absolutely not be affected in any way.

Of course, Perry didn't know why Tang Miao had come here.

Otherwise, she should have closed her doors to visitors...

After arriving at Blanche's residence, Tang Miao summoned Apas without Sheryl noticing.

After being forcibly pulled out, Apas immediately looked like she was ready to fight Tang Miao to the death!

She never expected that this damned man would actually forcefully pull her out here...

"Why are you in such a panic? You've been through so much already, you're not the Medusa you used to be anymore. They haven't suffered any beatings from you. It's better to tell them the truth now than for them to find out later, isn't it?" Tang Miao stopped Apas and patiently explained.

"I can go my whole life without seeing them..." Apas resolutely refused.

"It's too late, because she already knows you exist."

Apas was taken aback, only then realizing that there was another young lady in front of her...

Sheryl was equally taken aback. Such a charming... fairy, yes, a fairy, she was practically a demoness!

There are actually such charming and beautiful women in the world...

Most importantly, she clearly looks like just a young girl, so how come she's more voluptuous than me?

Also, how did this Little Vixen appear out of thin air?

"She..." The first thing Sheryl said after a long pause was a questioning look at Apas.

"She is my contractual partner, Apas, the youngest daughter of the Egyptian Medusa," Tang Miao introduced.

"Medusa... why is she human? And why can't I detect any demonic aura in her?" Sheryl had previously suspected that she was a demon.

Apas possesses an aura of magic, but not of Demon Beast power!

To Sheryl, Apas, who was merely a Beginner Mage, was just a Xiao Ke little sister.

"Your level isn't high enough, lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Sheryl gave a disgruntled "humph," but fearing she might offend Tang Miao, she said nothing more, swaying her pert bottom as she walked away without looking back.

Um...

After admiring it for a moment, he followed.

In the past, this kind of arrogance would have served to make her understand the treacherous nature of the world.

But this time, he was there to see his son. Most importantly, Blanche harbored a deep grudge against him, and to do anything to her disciple at this time would be utterly suicidal.

Although Sheryl was beautiful, she wasn't exceptionally so, and not so striking that she would have any profound thoughts about her.

Seeing that Tang Miao had followed and even closed the Contract Gate... Apas had no choice but to follow as well.

To be honest, she also missed Heidi and Blanche quite a bit.

Their genuine care truly touched her.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to face them, because she was afraid the two women would find out her true identity...

Even the proud Medusa, it was rare for her to feel uneasy because of humans, who were of a lower bloodline.

Perhaps it's because I've spent so much time with Tang Miao that I've unconsciously become her equal.

She herself didn't know when these strange ideas had taken root.

At least within Moon Snow City, she could happily chat with every girl, and argue endlessly with Ling Ling... without ever feeling the urge to tear her apart.

Looking back to when she first wanted to meet Ling Ling, she really had the urge to trade places with her.

Her little mouth would chatter away, always leaving Apas defeated. But now, although they still bicker occasionally, their similar ages have made them "best friends." After sharing a gun with someone, their bond has deepened considerably...

The three arrived outside Blanche's residence. Sheryl knocked on the door and whispered, "Teacher, Tang... Tang Miao is here."

Upon hearing the commotion outside, it seemed as if everyone inside held their breath for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps could be heard.

"Creak~"

As soon as the door opened, Tang Miao's gaze fell upon her curvaceous figure. Today, Blanche was wearing a white wool sweater and brown leggings, perfectly showcasing her stunning physique.

Um...

He had always felt that after Blanche had children, she seemed to be filled with... the impulsive feelings that made him, at his age, more prone to impulsiveness.

Perhaps because she had to take care of the child, Blanche's hair was tied up.

But her exquisite features, fair skin, and delicate face made Tang Miao's heart, which had just calmed down, start beating again.

Seeing Tang Miao staring straight at her, Blanche felt ashamed and indignant. She was very angry at this impolite man.

But when he saw Apas following behind Tang Miao, he paused for a moment, then said with a hint of excitement, "Apas?"

"Blanche... sister."

Apas had powerful telepathic abilities; just by looking at Blanche's appearance, she knew that Blanche was truly missing her.

For a moment, I was at a loss as to how to face it.

"Apas, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" Seeing Apas's expression, Blanche instinctively looked at Tang Miao.

"I... I'm not human," Apas said through gritted teeth.

Blanche paused for a moment before continuing, "Not human?"

"Aren't you going to let us in first?" Tang Miao interjected at this moment.

Blanche really didn't want Tang Miao to enter her boudoir.

However, he had already walked inside after saying that.

Moreover, Apas is here too; this little sister is someone Blanche has been missing.

"Apas, let's go inside." With that, he pulled Apas along and led her into the house.

Sheryl left. Although she quite liked "Tang Yan," she felt it was best to avoid him now that his father was there.

Inside the house.

Even with a toddler over a year old, her house remained impeccably clean and tidy, and there wasn't a single unpleasant odor.

"Mother..."

Tang Yan can now sit up and call out "Mom" in his unclear speech.

Tang Miao was fairly satisfied with the fact that his language was international.

The last time I saw him, he was so small. I never imagined he would grow up so much. Kids really do grow up so fast.

Looking at this little guy, Tang Miao felt like she was looking at herself as a child. Except for the eyes, they were almost identical.

This is definitely from your family.

Just as he was about to tentatively reach out to hug the little guy, the little guy surprisingly obliged and stretched out his little hand.

Upon seeing this, Blanche also dumbfounded...

Although her son is easy to hold once he gets used to her, he shows absolutely no mercy to strangers.

How...

He'd never even met Tang Miao before, yet he took the initiative to hug her?

He hadn't felt anything particularly strong before, but the moment he held the little one in his arms, Tang Miao felt a strange, inexplicable feeling. He couldn't quite put his finger on it...

Seeing how well-behaved her son was, Blanche stopped paying attention and instead inquired about how Apas had been doing all these years, and so on.

Apas also confessed that she was Medusa, and explained that she was contracted by Tang Miao. She even told the whole story.

However, to her surprise, Blanche didn't react at all after hearing this. She just looked at Tang Miao with displeasure and said, "How could you do this, forcing Apas to become your contracted... partner!"

Tang Miao, who was playing with his son, turned around and retorted after hearing what Blanche said, "If she hadn't been with me, she would probably be dead at the hands of her two older sisters by now."

That damned Apas, making herself sound so pitiful, is she just trying to shift the blame onto me!

Apas really has a narrow mindset; she seems to think she's Medusa, and Blanche doesn't care. All she cares about is her, and the friendship that developed during that time.

Of course, if Apas had told her back then that she was Medusa, things might have been very different now...
