Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 392 Prepare to Show Some Talent

The tone of the last three words is quite intriguing.

Having successfully risen through the ranks of "ah," "you," "hey," "that guy," etc., and now enjoying the "honor" of being called by name, Miya Xing is not yet quite used to her own name being uttered from her mouth.

Especially when she called his name, she looked very strange.

This strangeness, stemming from its long history, carried an air of unfamiliarity. He always suspected that something like, "Director Pa is going to scold me again, you go in my place," was waiting for him.

He awkwardly looked away: "Did we get there using magic?"

"Huh? You've never been out before?" She looked at him as if he were a caveman just emerging from a cave. "Of course, you go by car."

"...Ah, okay." The awkwardness he felt earlier hadn't subsided, and he gave a dry reply, becoming even more hesitant to look at her.

Spending so much time with her, Miya Xing almost forgot that there was such a thing as transportation when going out.

The magic vehicle wasn't as convenient or varied as it would be later, but it was much more comfortable than magic itself.

Since magic is often used by Ripos, it is much safer in comparison.

It's also much slower.

Not having brought many passengers, and driving without a license for the first time, Mi Yaxing was very nervous.

The tension subsided considerably after Rui Bu Si drove the car for a while and then it was returned to him.

In any case, he wouldn't drive the magic car so fast that it would be impossible for the monster car to flatten it after the fact.

Upon arriving at her destination, instead of rushing to find the person in charge of the education program, Rui Busi, as usual, started her shopping spree after reaching a new low.

Miya Xing did not follow her.

He met an unexpected person at the inn.

"Is this... that bully?"

"Do you know the guest?"

He was in a corner, and the sudden sound almost triggered his instinctive defenses.

Where has Miya Star heard this voice before?

Their eyes met, and they both remembered.

"You are from the wizarding world..."

"Shh—" the shop owner gestured, then smiled sheepishly, "Isn't this just a coincidence? I'm back in my old trade and I've run into a regular customer again."

Miya Xing raised an eyebrow: "That guy downstairs is also an old neighbor. Aren't you going to say hello to him? You must be one of the people he misses."

"Oh dear, oh dear," the shopkeeper chuckled. She hadn't forgotten what the townspeople had done back then, and the bully, as the victim, was even less likely to forget. "We're all old friends. From now on, if you come to stay here, all expenses will be waived."

"Oh~~" Miya Xing drawled out, her tone ambiguous, "Completely free?"

The shop owner paused, probably remembering that Mi Yaxing was with someone who wasn't short of money: "We'll also provide free shipping services."

This is indeed very tempting.

It seems the shop owner received quite a bit of money initially.

Seeing that he didn't intend to pursue the matter, the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, young man, do you know who that bully who's been terrorizing our wizarding territory is?"

Dangerous contact, the shop owner is hiding here and can't go out, so gossip starts.

"The young master of the Campbell family?"

"Huh?" The shop owner was both disappointed and surprised that he hadn't been able to whet his appetite.

After a short while, he regained his composure and said, "You only know one side of the story, not the other."

……

Returning with bags and packages, Huangwu received a warm welcome from the shop owner.

I glanced at it a couple more times out of curiosity, and the shop owner gave me a fawning smile.

She'd seen that kind of smile many times before, and immediately looked away, uninterested.

Unlike Miya Xing, she had no recollection of the shop owner.

Although she spent more time with the shop owner and they were once close friends.

As soon as I entered, I was met with a strange look from Miya Xing.

"what happened?"

"Aren't you going downstairs to catch up with the shopkeeper?" He heard the noise and thought she would be back later.

"Catch up?" The doubt didn't linger on Huangwu's face for long. "There's no need to catch up with someone who's not important."

"Do you remember the young master of the Campbell family that we met in the wizard's territory before?"

"I remember." Huangwu seemed to understand something. "You met him?"

"Sort of. He ate something at the inn today and then left." Miya Xing asked abruptly, "Did you kill the old man next to him because of some personal grudge?"

"Why do you say that?"

That bully, Young Master Asan, although his surname is Campbell, has a very awkward position in the Campbell family.

His identity is a legacy issue from history.

The younger brother of the previous head of the Campbell family was a womanizer. Asan's mother remarried and came to the Campbell family not long after, and Asan was born.

Not long after, the younger brother of the previous head of the family passed away, and not long after that, the previous head of the family also passed away.

Asan and his mother became an awkward presence in Campbell's family.

The former head of the family has quite a few children, and there are also rumors that Asan is his mother's child with his ex-husband. If it weren't for the fact that Asan led a small group of Quark Clan members to defeat the Dark Clan a while ago, no one in the Campbell family would have noticed such an insignificant nobody.

Seeing her extend her hand, Miya Xing glanced at it, and as she shook her palm for the third time, she offered her own hand in return.

"His status is not high. If you take that money, the Emperor won't make you return it. It's not a big deal if you get caught."

“It’s not a big deal,” she said, playing with his fingers, “but it’s a hassle. At the very least, we’ll have to go through the trouble of bringing the money back and then handing it over to them.”

"His current achievements were given to him by the Dark Emperor?"

"Yes, the Emperor wants him to be the next head of the Campbell family."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Asan's abilities are not outstanding, and the current head of the family has no shortage of successors.

"Who knows?" She wasn't too concerned about whether the Dark Emperor's plan could be executed smoothly. "The Campbell family is based in the main city, and the young master has a bit of status, so he can pass on more information."

Miya Xing understood.

Neither she nor the Dark Emperor believed that Asan could become the head of the family, nor did they have any intention of helping him.

He just wanted to break a hole in the fortified city.

During this period, the Dark Emperor did not focus his main attention on Moe Academy and Moe Knights.

"Does the Emperor have no plans to attack Moe Academy?"

"Why would we attack there? He's only been out for a short time; does he even have the strength?"

Miya Star remained silent.

He has not yet seen the current Dark Emperor.

They were also used to the Dark Emperor's style of hiding in the underground sewers when he was weak, and stirring up trouble when he was strong.

I almost forgot that the Dark Emperor's long-term stay in the underground sewers wasn't a personal preference, but rather because he couldn't get out.

“Oh, right,” Huangwu released Miya Xing’s hand after playing for a while, “I just ran into Mingmo on the street. He said he was out looking for the seeds of some strange flower.”

"Ok?"

“Mingmo said Huanhun is planning to come here for a couple of days, probably the day after tomorrow. We’re thinking of having a little get-together. Anye will probably come along by himself,” she muttered. “I wonder if he’s secretly learned some kind of prophetic magic. How does he always know where we are?”

It doesn't sound like they have any intention of having the gloomy duchess come.

What do I need to prepare?

She's a leader who gives last-minute notices; giving advance notice is never a good thing.

"Hmm," Huangwu blinked, took his reddened hand and rubbed it for him, "Hehe, how about preparing some talent show?"

"what?"

What painful memory was triggered? She gritted her teeth: "Mingmo just had to show off that his human could do this and that."

"You don't want to lose to him?"

"Of course I can't lose to him!"

"What do you want me to perform? Mind reading?"

As soon as the suggestion was made, Miya Xing was prepared to be rejected.

"what--"

Everyone present was proficient in magic, and besides, the Summoner had a history of being disliked, so no one wanted to see mind reading.

"Never mind." After thinking it over, she realized it was impossible to go back overnight and bring another servant. She wanted to win, but she didn't want to reveal her desire to win in this area.

She gave up: "Just be a good boy and behave even better than that little pet Mingmo."

Oh, that's the crux of the problem.

"Lord Desolation."

"doing what?"

"The little pet that accompanies the Demon Lord of the Underworld?"

"Since we didn't sign a magic contract, of course it is." Signing a contract with a human would be redundant.

"what about me?"

She pondered for a moment: "Servant, didn't we sign a contract?"

"Besides pets and servants, is there no other possibility for the people who follow you around?"

Huangwu thought for a while longer: "A rival? The Dark Emperor?"

"No friends?"

"Ouch—" He rubbed his head in pain.

"Silly boy, the Dark Clan has no true feelings. Don't always hang out with those shady characters and listen to their nonsense."
