A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 374 Hotel

There's no doubt that Shirley messed up.

"How could this happen..."

Curled up in a corner of the sofa, Xia Li murmured softly.

It seems that Angel was a big blow to her.

Ding ding ding.

Just then, there was a knock on the hotel door.

"Angel, you actually dare to come back!"

Brigitte's face turned ashen. She grabbed her sword, intending to kill Angel outright. She even had an urge to use an angelic weapon and wipe him out completely.

"Bridget, it's not his fault. He just made the mistake that all demons make..."

"Shirley..."

Shirley's gentle words touched a part of Brigitte's heart once again.

Then, Brigitte hugged Shirley tightly.

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

The knocking became much louder; it was now banging on the door.

"Is anyone inside still alive? Open the door, folks! I've come to seek refuge with you!"

Jiang Shuzhou pounded on the door.

To be honest, he was already getting a little impatient.

There was someone knocking on the door outside, and the two people inside were hugging.

Jiang Shuzhou was able to find this place because of the red thread on Bi Ji's body, so he knew exactly what was happening inside.

If it weren't for the grand plan to come, Jiang Shuzhou would have been prepared to break down the door.

"Here it comes! Angel, you bastard!"

Brigitte flung the door open, and then she fell silent.

An awkward silence spread through the room.

"We meet again, this lady who is as beautiful as an angel."

Jiang Shuzhou may seem glib, but he is actually hinting that he already knows the other party's identity. If this Bi Ji is knowledgeable, then she will need to exchange secret signals with Jiang Shuzhou.

Unfortunately, she didn't understand.

"How did you find this place?"

Brigitte asked warily.

"I found this place by asking around."

"I was drawn here by Princess Shirley's lofty ideals."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a smile.

"What? Really? Really?"

Upon hearing Jiang Shuzhou's words, Xia Li immediately stopped being depressed; the sadness on her face vanished, replaced by excitement.

"Of course, but shall we go inside and talk?"

"Of course, please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Li excitedly pushed Brigitte aside and pulled Jiang Shuzhou inside.

De Nuozhi also came with Jiang Shuzhou.

"Shirley, they..."

Brigitte frowned; her intuition told her that these two didn't seem like good people.

However, she quickly came to terms with it; finding good people in hell is no less difficult than panning for gold in the desert.

After all, this is hell, a place where all the evildoers of the past and present, from all over the world, gather.

If evil people are a pile of shit, then this place is a cesspool.

You might think you're weird enough, but in hell, there are plenty of weirdos like you.

Countless people have descended here after committing the seven deadly sins; if evil deeds could make people shine, then everyone here would be incredibly radiant.

When the anthropomorphic swarm of stars shone brightly, it belonged to that era.

"What is your purpose?"

Brigitte questioned him coldly.

She felt no remorse whatsoever for accidentally bumping into him.

This is hell; feeling guilty here will make you die a terrible death.

"Of course I'm going to stay here."

"What? I disagree!"

Upon hearing this, Brigitte immediately emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"Really? You're staying here?"

Shirley's eyes lit up; finally, someone else had joined her plan.

"Of course, Your Highness."

Jiang Shuzhou said politely.

"Ha, who knows what you're up to."

"That's what Brigitte said in a cold voice."

"Shirley, don't forget Angel, he's only after the free accommodations!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Li wavered, unsure of what to do.

Brigitte is her best friend, so she wouldn't lie to her, but she herself wants more demons to be involved in this operation.

For a moment, Xia Li was very conflicted.

"Alright, let me introduce myself."

Jiang Shuzhou knew that it was time for the story to begin.

"My name is Atlas, and I am a scientist. This is Titania, and she is my assistant."

Jiang Shuzhou could lie without batting an eye, but it wasn't entirely a lie, since it was just a form of address.

Upon hearing this, Xia Li's eyes lit up, and she began to imagine the scenario.

How did these two end up in hell? Was it a forbidden love, or were they just star-crossed lovers?

It was actually due to a small mistake.

"Back then..."

Jiang Shuzhou began to make up a story.

In Jiang Shuzhou's story, Denuozhi was betrayed by the director of the orphanage, who went mad and killed everyone. Jiang Shuzhou happened to be passing by at the time and found Denuozhi on the verge of death.

He then treated Denozzi as a student and taught her many things.

However, the director of the orphanage has been bewitched by a cult and is attempting to kill Denoz again. How could Jiang Shuzhou possibly let this go unchecked?

So he and Denozzi fought a fierce battle with the assassins sent by the church. After they killed all the assassins, they died from exhaustion.

This series of short stories completely fooled Xia Li, and when she came to her senses, she was deeply moved.

"What a tragic couple!"

"They're not a couple, they're a teacher and student."

Jiang Shuzhou corrected him, saying that no matter what, the order of seniority must not be confused.

"There's no conflict, is there?"

"That's what Shirley said."

"It's a conflict. I also want a teaching certificate, even though I've never had one."

Why are you so concerned about things you don't have?

Xia Li sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"By the way, Miss Titania, what about you?"

"I?"

Denoz looked completely bewildered.

"Don't you want to say anything?"

As Shirley spoke, she leaned close to Denoz's ear and whispered something.

"If you keep going like this, your relationship will never get any closer, okay?"

"As long as I stay by the professor's side, I'm fine with anything."

Denoz knew her own heart, but she dared not confess and be rejected. If things continued this way, they could stay together forever.

She couldn't accept any possibility that would lead to their separation.

Shirley fell silent.

That's too humiliating.

"Um, okay, alright, you can move in then."

Xia Li readily agreed, taking full responsibility.

"Shirley, you can't..."

Please.

Just as Brigitte was about to refuse, Shirley's coquettish charm softened her heart instantly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you say."

Brigitte, consumed by love, completely lost her principles.

"Go and find any two rooms you like."

"That's what Brigitte said."

"One room, just one room, all the other rooms are full!"

Shirley added.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou's eyes twitched slightly.

Good grief, you're lying through your teeth. This hotel is so big, and there are only three people staying here. You're telling me it's full?

However, he didn't say anything, since Denoz did have to assist Jiang Shuzhou in his experiments, and they really couldn't be separated.

"Keep it up, try your best to win him over!"

The princess offered these words of encouragement as Denoz passed by Shirley.

Denoz paused for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Shuzhou and Denuozhi have now officially infiltrated the side of Princess Xia Li of Hell.
