Mu Ningxue shyly covered her upper body, her beautiful eyes not daring to meet Zhou Haoyu's directly.

"Xue'er~"

"We've already been together for so long, it's not like i haven't seen it before."

Zhou Haoyu didn't immediately turn into a big bad wolf. Under Mu Ningxue's training, his self-control had clearly improved quite a bit.

Mu Ningxue glared at him unhappily. How could that be the same thing?

Zhou Haoyu naturally sat down on the bed, admiring Mu Ningxue's snow-white skin and flawless jade-like curves, never getting tired of the sight no matter how many times he looked.

"Right, this is a Galaxy Vein I prepared for you. With your talent, getting Ice to Mid-Tier completion shouldn't take very long."

Zhou Haoyu took out the Galaxy Vein he had prepared beforehand, pulled Mu Ningxue's delicate hand over, and quickly placed it in her palm.

Mu Ningxue looked at the Galaxy Vein in her hand — it was even more crystal-clear than a diamond.

Even though it was only the size of a small bead, it was something countless Mid-Tier mages dreamed of obtaining.

With the Galaxy Vein, the success rate of breaking into High-Tier would be massively increased.

Mu Ningxue was dazed for a moment before asking Zhou Haoyu, "When did you buy it?"

"I stopped by the auction house on my way here." Zhou Haoyu said.

Mu Ningxue didn't refuse — she knew if she tried, he would just force it on her anyway.

In the end she would still have to give in.

After getting dressed, Mu Ningxue sat beside Zhou Haoyu.

"What's the point, you'll be taking it off again in a bit." Zhou Haoyu said bluntly.

Mu Ningxue shot him a glare and pinched the soft flesh of his inner thigh.

"Sss—" Zhou Haoyu sucked in a cold breath. She really didn't know how to hold back.

Mu Ningxue's face showed worry again. "Does it hurt a lot?"

"If you massage me it won't hurt anymore." Zhou Haoyu whispered beside her ear.

Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes. This guy only thought about that kind of thing every day.

She looked unwilling on the surface, but her movements didn't really hesitate.

Zhou Haoyu felt a wave of comfort surge through him. That Galaxy Vein was worth every coin. Maybe tonight he could even try a new position.

After the massage, Zhou Haoyu pinned Mu Ningxue to the bed, whispering a few words into her ear.

Mu Ningxue's cheeks flushed red, but she only turned her head to the side, a gesture of silent submission.

Magic City.

"Miss Mu, I'll have to trouble you again this time."

"Hehe, Haoyu-ge is too polite. I should be thanking you. It's thanks to your help that I have a bit of a say in my family now."

"No need for thanks. This is mutual benefit for both of us."

After parting with Mu Nuxin, Zhou Haoyu took out his phone from his pocket, found the name "Liu Ru" in his contacts, and dialed.

Zhou Haoyu had met Liu Ru by chance two and a half years ago, back when she was still an ordinary high school student.

"Brother Zhou?"

Soon, Liu Ru's surprised voice came through the phone.

"Liu Ru, can I see you now?" Zhou Haoyu asked directly.

"Of course! I'm free right now."

Hearing Zhou Haoyu's invitation, Liu Ru happily agreed.

"Um… when will your sister be free?" Zhou Haoyu continued.

On the other end of the line, Liu Ru showed a puzzled expression. Why bring up her sister out of nowhere?

Could it be that Brother Zhou wanted to become her brother-in-law?

"My sister's still at work. She probably won't be free until after she gets off this evening," Liu Ru answered truthfully.

"Then let's pick a place to meet tonight," Zhou Haoyu said immediately.

"Alright," Liu Ru agreed quickly, though still confused.

Two years ago, Zhou Haoyu had helped Liu Ru awaken her Shadow Element. They had kept in contact since then, so she still trusted him a lot.

After hanging up, Zhou Haoyu returned to his apartment in Magic City.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu coming down the stairs.

"Zhou Haoyu?"

Ai Tutu was startled at first, then crossed her arms and snorted, "So you still remember to come back? Sister Mu and I were already planning to rent out your room."

Mu Nujiao was also a little surprised. She thought Zhou Haoyu wouldn't return to this place again.

Zhou Haoyu rolled his eyes. This Ai Tutu really had a strange brain circuit — it hadn't even been that long, and she was already thinking of renting out his room.

But with Mu Nujiao present, Zhou Haoyu wasn't worried that this big-chested, brainless Ai Tutu would cause any trouble.

Mu Nujiao pursed her lips and said, "I haven't had the chance to properly thank you for what happened during the training."

"Forget it, I only did what I should've done," Zhou Haoyu waved his hand indifferently.

"Sis Mu, I told you already, this guy is obviously eyeing you," Ai Tutu said.

"Tutu! What nonsense are you spouting again!"

Mu Nujiao glared fiercely at Ai Tutu. This girl was becoming more and more reckless with her mouth.

Not only was Ai Tutu not afraid, she even leaned over to Zhou Haoyu with a mischievous grin, "I really don't know what kind of charm you have. Sister Mu has been absent-minded these past few days~"

Mu Nujiao's face flushed red instantly. She didn't even feel like glaring at Ai Tutu anymore. She didn't want to deal with the two of them at all.

Her heart was extremely complicated. The moment she thought of Mu Ningxue, it felt as if something was stuck inside her.

Zhou Haoyu didn't join Ai Tutu in teasing Mu Nujiao. He opened his mouth and said, "I suddenly remembered something I forgot to give you."

"What is it? Don't tell me it's some kind of love token?" Ai Tutu moved over excitedly, but after seeing it, her interest vanished — it was just a seed.

"This is a Horror Plant-Demon Seed. Out in the wild it wasn't convenient to give it to you, in case it caused misunderstanding," Zhou Haoyu said.

"Horror Plant-Demon?!"

Mu Nujiao showed a disbelieving expression. To a Plant Element Mage, the value of a Horror-Demon Seed was even greater than a Soul-Seed.

"Giving something this precious, and you still say you have no ulterior motives toward Sister Mu?"

Ai Tutu pouted unhappily. She suddenly felt like a third wheel.

Mu Nujiao had no heart to retort. This thing was indeed extremely precious — practically priceless and could greatly enhance her strength.

With this Horror Plant-Demon Seed, she could definitely rise several ranks, maybe even prepare for the next World Academy Tournament.

But he clearly already had a fiancée!

"I can't accept this," Mu Nujiao said after some hesitation.

"Hey, Sis Mu, this is a good thing, don't waste it. Besides, this guy has plenty of money," Ai Tutu said.

Mu Nujiao still shook her head.

"It's useless for me to keep it anyway. If you feel bad, just treat it as me lending it to you. Pay me back when you have the money."

Since it was connected to the treasure chest condition, Zhou Haoyu naturally had to treat Mu Nujiao differently.

"Alright then."
