Versatile Mage: The Young Master of Zhou Family

Two days later.

Zhou Youhong ultimately didn't report to his grandfather. With Zhou Haoyu's talent, right or wrong, Zhou Xian would undoubtedly stand by him without hesitation.

It was a bit cruel, but that was reality.

Today was the engagement day. Zhou Haoyu had already dressed in his tailored outfit early in the morning and casually stuffed a few buns down to get by.

The Zhou Family and Mu Family weren't exactly prestigious clans. Moreover, at Zhou Haoyu's repeated request, the engagement banquet was not held extravagantly and was kept as simple as possible.

Aside from the Zhou and Mu families, only a few representatives from the Mu Clan attended. They were mainly there for formality's sake, to give Zhou Haoyu and the Zhou Family some face.

The Mu Clan seemed to value Zhou Haoyu and Mu Ningxue highly, even gifting a defensive magic artifact in the form of a ring.

Zhou Haoyu took the ring and, without another word, slipped it onto Mu Ningxue's finger.

Zhou Haoyu already had a more advanced defensive artifact, so he had no need for this ring.

Mu Ningxue looked at the silver ring on her finger, and her heart couldn't help but stir a little.

Strictly speaking, this ring was a gift from the Mu Clan to the Zhou Family. Yet Zhou Haoyu, without hesitation, put it on her. To say she wasn't touched at all would be a lie.

It was worth mentioning that among the representatives sent by the Mu Clan was an elder and several younger members, including Mu Tingying.

Mu Tingying's looks didn't quite compare to Mu Ningxue's, but she was still high-beauty level.

However, Mu Tingying wore a frosty expression the entire time, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Zhou Haoyu and Mu Ningxue.

In Mu Tingying's heart, she had always been the one to reject others. No one had ever dared to reject her.

But Zhou Haoyu had not only turned down an engagement with her, he had chosen Mu Ningxue the very one she had always disliked.

Just a mere side branch member how was Mu Tingying any lesser?!

Zhou Haoyu's gaze sharpened, noticing the resentment in Mu Tingying's eyes, but he didn't pay it any mind. Just an Basic-level mage not worth worrying about.

Before long, the ceremony came to an end.

Amid the envious and jealous stares of the younger crowd, Zhou Haoyu took Mu Ningxue back to his room.

As soon as they entered the room, Mu Ningxue was cornered against the door by Zhou Haoyu. His burning gaze was like a hungry wolf eyeing a little white rabbit.

Thinking about what might happen next, Mu Ningxue couldn't help but feel a little afraid but there was also a faint curiosity, and even anticipation.

Zhou Haoyu seemed blind to it all, quietly waiting for the treasure chest to unlock.

[Unlock conditions: Met]

[Unlocking...]

[Obtained Lightning Element Devour Seed!]

"Devour Seed!"

Zhou Haoyu's pupils contracted. He was already close to reaching the Intermediate level in Lightning Element and had been planning to check the auction for a suitable Spirit Seed.

But now, clearly, he had found a better choice.

Generally speaking, Intermediate Mages equipped themselves with Spirit Seeds, and when they reached Advanced Level, they would start preparing Soul Seeds.

However, in the process of upgrading, even the best Spirit Seed effects would be overwritten by Soul Seed effects.

But the Devour Seed was different. Even after advancing to Soul Seed stage, its effects could still be preserved!

Soon, Zhou Haoyu came back to his senses and saw Mu Ningxue leaning against the door, her hands pressing against his chest.

Although she was pushing, there was no real force behind it.

The two were already engaged whatever Zhou Haoyu wanted to do now was entirely justified.

At that moment, Mu Ningxue had tightly shut her eyes, quietly waiting for Zhou Haoyu's next move.

Seeing this submissive posture, Zhou Haoyu felt that doing nothing would make him worse than a beast. So, he immediately pressed down on those pink lips.

At first, Zhou Haoyu could feel Mu Ningxue's delicate body trembling, but she soon calmed down.

In the end, Mu Ningxue couldn't withstand Zhou Haoyu's relentless advances and slightly parted her lips.

Her lips were cold at first, but behind that, they were soft and slick.

After savoring the taste for a while, Zhou Haoyu finally let go of the breathless Mu Ningxue.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue opened her icy blue eyes and panted a few times rapidly.

After recovering, Mu Ningxue still didn't dare to meet Zhou Haoyu's gaze. She knew full well that what just happened was merely an appetizer.

"I'm not going to eat you, so don't look so scared."

Zhou Haoyu didn't push further. He sat on the bed, watching the flustered Mu Ningxue with great interest.

To Zhou Haoyu, his main goal had already been achieved the value of the Lightning Element Devour Seed was second only to Spiritual Power.

Just moments ago, Mu Ningxue thought Zhou Haoyu had revealed his true nature, but now she realized he really was different from others.

"I'll give you time to accept all this, but only if you behave. You don't want to embarrass your father, do you?" Zhou Haoyu said calmly.

Zhou Haoyu didn't mean to threaten Mu Ningxue; he was merely stating a fact.

Put simply don't mistake kindness for weakness.

In Zhou Haoyu's eyes, conquering Mu Ningxue in one go wasn't any fun. What difference would that be from playing with a blow-up doll?

Oh—just one with added ice.

That's why Zhou Haoyu preferred to slowly tame and train Mu Ningxue.

"Thank you."

Mu Ningxue let out a breath of relief. Though she usually acted indifferent about such matters, when it came down to it, she still couldn't fully accept it deep inside.

Zhou Haoyu didn't say anything. He simply patted the spot beside him.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Ningxue eventually sat down beside Zhou Haoyu.

Zhou Haoyu didn't pause at all and decisively wrapped his arm around her slender waist. Even through the clothes, he could still feel the wonderful sensation.

Immediately after, Zhou Haoyu repeated what he had done before.

At first, Mu Ningxue was a bit resistant. But perhaps remembering Zhou Haoyu's earlier words, she gradually began to cooperate and eventually even started trying to take initiative.

The flavor from the second tasting was completely different from the first, causing Zhou Haoyu to feel a little light-headed.

Besides that, Zhou Haoyu even took the opportunity to personally measure Mu Ningxue's figure.

It was flawless like a piece of art without the slightest imperfection. It made Zhou Haoyu look forward to the days ahead.

After all the groping and teasing, Zhou Haoyu went straight into cultivation he hadn't completed his training for the day yet.

He had one more element than most people, but unlike Mo Fan, he didn't have double cultivation time, so he couldn't afford to waste a single day.

Cultivation was like sailing against the current if you don't advance, you fall behind!

Looking at Zhou Haoyu, who had already entered a deep meditative state, Mu Ningxue couldn't help but be a little shocked.

This guy really loved cultivating!

No wonder he reached the Intermediate level in just two short years. That level of discipline even surpassed hers.

Mu Ningxue straightened out her clothes slightly, then also entered a meditative state, not at all worried that Zhou Haoyu would take advantage of her while she was vulnerable.

If Zhou Haoyu truly wanted to do anything, she wouldn't have the strength to resist anyway.
