The little White Tiger's fondness for Mu Ningxue was already at its peak, so the contracting process went very smoothly.
However, since Mu Ningxue's Summoning Elent was only at the High-level, the little White Tiger's strength was sowhat suppressed.
A few days later, deep inside the ice mountain cave—
"Stop ssing around, aren't you afraid of freezing in a place like this?"
"You still don't know my strength? Besides, I have Soul Seed Fire protecting , this bit of ice and cold can't harm at all."
"That's still no good, Sister Qin is right outside. If she sees—"
Mu Ningxue didn't finish her words, but just the thought of that scene made her so embarrassed she wanted to bury herself into the ground.
Zhou Haoyu didn't retreat but advanced instead, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, Qin Xuejie already guessed the relationship between us."
As he spoke, Zhou Haoyu had already wrapped his arm around that slender, soft waist—
The next mont, strange and ambiguous sounds started echoing from within.
Before long, Qin Yu'er arrived outside the cave riding the Tianshan Light White Tiger.
When she heard those sounds, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on her face.
Soon, the sounds grew clearer and closer, and Qin Yu'er's ears instantly turned red.
Even though they had only known each other for a few days, perhaps because of her special physique, Qin Yu'er had a natural fondness for Mu Ningxue.
For a mont, Qin Yu'er found it hard to believe.
But gradually, an unfamiliar feeling flickered through her heart.
Zhou Haoyu had already decided to leave Tianshan tomorrow, so this ti their "exchange" lasted longer.
Mu Ningxue, if she wanted to initially master the Ice Crystal Bow, still needed to follow Qin Yu'er's guidance for a month or two.
But Zhou Haoyu didn't have an Ice Elent. Staying in Tianshan to cultivate had no benefits, and in fact, his Fire Elent would even be sowhat suppressed.
Aside from that, there were still many matters waiting to be handled.
—Imperial Capital, Zhou Family.
Ever since forming an alliance with the Li Family of the Ancient Capital, the Zhou Family's overall strength had risen dramatically, even adding a few more Super Mages to the clan.
Now they had stepped into the ranks of first-class families, though still far from the level of true clans.
In the family's council hall, Zhou Xian, Zhou Hong, and the elders all gathered.
"The Mu clan is nothing but a pack of bastards, daring to send people to steal our Zhou Family's ore!"
"The Mu clan is truly ambitious wolves. Back when the Fire Vein was just discovered, they already tried to force their way in, wanting to snatch a share of the profit."
"Thankfully, the Patriarch was farsighted. If we hadn't drawn a clear line with the Mu clan, we'd have been devoured whole, without even bones left."
The elders' faces all carried anger.
Although the mining rights of the Sun Ridge Fire Vein belonged to the Zhou Family, the Mu clan had repeatedly sched against them.
Now, they were even sending people to sabotage things in secret, and the Zhou Family had no way to deal with it for the mont.
"Enough, let's set this matter aside for now."
Patriarch Zhou Xian's clouded eyes glimred with a strange light. The Zhou Family's flourishing state was thanks to Zhou Haoyu's suggestions.
What's more, Zhou Haoyu was already the captain of the National Institute team, with a limitless future ahead of him.
After the elders left, Zhou Hong stood up, looking at Zhou Xian.
"Father, after such a long seclusion, has your cultivation advanced further?"
Zhou Xian nodded, the stern expression on his face softening into a rare smile.
"This is all thanks to the treasure Xiao Yu gave . The energy contained in it is no weaker than the Earth Core!"
Compared to before, Zhou Xian's cultivation had skyrocketed, and his body had grown much stronger.
Normally, as the body aged, a Mage's actual combat capabilities would begin to decline.
With the help of the Millennium Willow Heart, Zhou Xian had already pushed his primary Lightning Elent to the peak of Super-level, and his other three Elents had all advanced significantly.
"No weaker than the Earth Core?"
Zhou Hong was shocked. Didn't this an his father had a chance to break through to Forbidden Curse?
"I never expected that at over sixty years old, I would still have hope of striving for Forbidden Curse!"
"This is all thanks to Xiao Yu!"
Zhou Xian stroked his graying beard, his cloudy eyes shining with excitent.
—Magic City.
Liu Ru had just returned ho when she heard strange, muffled sounds coming from the kitchen.
Before long, Liu Xian walked out of the kitchen.
"Sis, you secretly snuck food again without !"
Liu Ru pointed at the cream at the corner of Liu Xian's mouth, pouting as she spoke.
Liu Xian quickly wiped at her mouth. Realizing there really was sothing sticky there, her eyes instantly flashed with embarrassnt and shyness.
"Liu Xian, if your little sister wants so, you should share with her."
Zhou Haoyu suddenly walked out of the kitchen as well, smiling as he spoke.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ru was stunned on the spot.
What was going on?
Brother Haoyu and her sister sneaking food together in the kitchen?
Hearing Zhou Haoyu's teasing, Liu Xian rolled her eyes at him.
As if he didn't know what she was really "eating"?
"Brother Haoyu, when did you co back?" Liu Ru asked excitedly.
"Just a few days ago," Zhou Haoyu replied casually, then shifted the topic.
"By the way, how are you adapting at Pearl Institute?"
Liu Ru's main Elent was Shadow, and she possessed the Dark Matter Shadow Fiend. Among Interdiate Mages, her strength was considered outstanding.
With Zhou Haoyu's help, she had already been specially admitted into the main campus by Dean Fu.
Dean Fu had always wanted to repay Zhou Haoyu, so such a small favor was nothing.
"It's a little boring, and there are quite a few annoying flies."
Liu Ru frowned slightly, as if recalling sothing unpleasant.
"Oh?"
Zhou Haoyu raised his eyebrows. With Liu Ru's talent and beauty, it was only natural that she would attract a swarm of bootlickers.
"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Brother Haoyu, were you just secretly bullying my sister?"
Liu Ru suddenly hugged Zhou Haoyu's arm, her chest pressing tightly against it as she shook him.
Liu Xian's cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly explained, "What nonsense are you spouting, we were just discussing sothing."
Liu Xian didn't want Liu Ru to know about this matter. Her decision had been made mostly to repay Zhou Haoyu's kindness.
She was just an ordinary person—if not for Zhou Haoyu, she would never have beco a Mage, so she didn't dare to hope for more.
"Hmph, I heard everything just now outside the door." Liu Ru imdiately exposed her.
Liu Xian was rendered speechless, glaring at Zhou Haoyu with grievance-filled eyes.
It was all his fault for being so forceful!
Zhou Haoyu, on the other hand, looked innocent. Clearly, it had been her who had taken the initiative to "serve," what could he have done?
"You've already joined the Zhou Family, so you're both mine now."
As he spoke, Zhou Haoyu pulled out two maid outfits from the Candle Dragon Bracelet and tossed them to Liu Xian and Liu Ru.
The two sisters stared at the clothes in their hands. After hesitating for a mont, they still picked them up and returned to their rooms.
Not long after, a pair of sister maids appeared before Zhou Haoyu's eyes.
