Chapter 17: Fated Tragedy

……

At noon the next day, Lv Cheng, who had nearly exhausted his Spiritual Power, finally woke up.

I can't do this again next time!

The Divine Power of other Spells can be left unused for now, but this Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman must be kept active!

Otherwise, the consumption when he contracts a Demon is terrifying!

The power of the Horse Talisman can allow him to recover quickly and purge negative states from his body, including mental fatigue, while the Dog Talisman can grant him powerful life vitality; combined, the effect of these two Spell Divine Powers is far stronger than any Stardust Magic Tool.

You must know that a while ago, when he hadn't stopped using these two Spells, no matter how much he tossed and turned, he never felt tired.

"You're awake?"

Hearing the movement of Lv Cheng getting out of bed, Tang Yue walked in.

"Where is this?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

"My house." Tang Yue handed hot water to Lv Cheng.

"I really don't know how you cultivate, to actually be able to exhaust your Spiritual Power to this extent."

At the time, she also thought Lv Cheng was just tired from staying up late to cultivate, but after watching for a while, she realized something was wrong!

This kid was sleeping too deeply!

He was actually in a state of deep sleep the whole time!

She found it hard to imagine, just to what extent must his Spiritual Power have been consumed?

"Aren't you afraid of causing a mental breakdown?" Tang Yue said helplessly.

Although Lv Cheng's Spiritual Power is strong and he has a talent for the Psychic element, excessive consumption of Spiritual Power is very dangerous; if an Initial Stage Mage plays around like this, they could suffer a mental breakdown if they aren't careful.

"It was an accident." Lv Cheng drank the hot water in one gulp.

"Now that I have experience, it naturally won't happen again in the future."

"I hope so." Tang Yue sat down.

"However, I am curious, how did you summon that Sub-Dragon?"

A Sub-Dragon—the rarity of this thing is second only to a True Dragon!

Even over in Europe, there are very few Mages who can have a Sub-Dragon as a Contract Beast, and even if there are, they are almost all Super Level Mages, or even Forbidden Curse Mages.

After all, the bloodline of a Sub-Dragon is powerful; after reaching adulthood, they are almost all Monarch-level, and not just ordinary Monarchs—many are Great Monarchs, and there even exist Supreme Monarchs!

Only human Forbidden Curse Mages can suppress these adult Sub-Dragons.

Moreover, Sub-Dragons have long lifespans; the longest-living Sub-Dragon alive today is already over two thousand years old. If one can successfully contract a Sub-Dragon, it is equivalent to contracting a guardian deity for one's own family!

Fortunately, there aren't many people in this small place of Bo City who know their stuff, and few people have thought about the deeper implications of this Sub-Dragon of Lv Cheng's. If it were outside, someone in Lv Cheng's situation could almost be treated like a treasure and worshipped by those big families.

A Monarch-level guardian beast!

And Lv Cheng is only at the Initial Stage now. If an Initial Stage Mage can summon a Sub-Dragon, what about the future?

She even suspected that Lv Cheng might be able to bring out a True Dragon in the future!

"The price of secrets is very expensive; do you think you can bear it?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Hmm..." Tang Yue paused.

"Then I won't ask."

If she kept asking, she was afraid Lv Cheng would lead the topic in that direction again.

Although she didn't resist this stable and mature young boy, and even liked him a little, Lv Cheng was still a student and she was a teacher; some things could not be crossed.

Even if she really had that intention, it would have to wait until later.

"By the way, what is the situation between you, the Mu Family, and Mo Fan?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

That day she only heard some fragments, but looking at the expressions of Mo Fan, Mu Zhuoyun, and that Mu Ningxue at the time, this matter was likely a bit complicated.

"A fated tragedy." Lv Cheng rubbed his head.

"Simply put, Mu Zhuoyun originally wanted me to be his son-in-law, and even the engagement banquet was prepared, but on the night of the engagement banquet, my fiancée was snatched away, and the marriage naturally fell through."

Tang Yue was stunned, "That exciting?"

"Exciting?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"I suppose, it's quite exciting for you onlookers, but for me, the person involved, it wasn't so exciting."

"Sorry." Tang Yue felt a bit awkward.

This kind of thing is indeed not an interesting experience for the person involved.

"But when I was asking around these past two days, I didn't hear about this matter between you and the Mu Family." Tang Yue said, puzzled.

Lv Cheng looked speechless, "Do you think the Mu Family would possibly let out such a shameful matter?"

"Because of the disappearance of the Mu Family's eldest young lady at that banquet, Mu Zhuoyun, in order to preserve the Mu Family's reputation, temporarily announced to the outside world that it was a birthday banquet held for a branch descendant of the Mu Family, covering it up."

"And for that banquet, Mu Zhuoyun intended to announce the real business only after it started, so apart from those involved, no one knew the true situation that night."

Why does he not look favorably upon Mo Fan?

May I ask, what man could be magnanimous after experiencing such a thing?

Yes, he knew that Mo Fan was just a hotheaded youth at the time, a little brat.

There was nothing between those two, and he even knew why Mu Ningxue ran away—it was nothing more than not wanting to face this fate of being controlled, a rebellious psychology of adolescence; simply put, it was a momentary impulse.

So he didn't say much about that matter. He is an adult, and an adult who has lived two lifetimes; he wouldn't stoop to bickering with two kids.

However, he was unhappy!

He went to the banquet happily, only to be stood up, and sat on the cold bench in the corner like a clown for the whole night.

Can't he even lose his temper?

Knowing is knowing, and understanding is understanding.

He doesn't hold a grudge because he is a reasonable adult.

Angry, unhappy, because he is a man.

He was not yet magnanimous to that extent.

"I see..." Tang Yue nodded.

No wonder she couldn't find anything even using the Judgment Court's intelligence network.

"Right, how long have I been asleep?" Lv Cheng asked.

"You slept for a day and a night," Tang Yue said.

"A day and a... a day and a night?!" Lv Cheng was stunned.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Yue took over Lv Cheng's mobile phone.

"Your little sister Xinxia called me last night, and I told her about your situation, letting her not worry."

"However, upon hearing my voice and knowing you spent the night at my place, her tone changed a little bit subtly~"

Tang Yue revealed a subtle expression.

Your little sister Xinxia is jealous!

A young girl in puberty is very hard to coax!

"Hello, Xinxia... I'm fine, how are you? Did you sleep well last night?"

"I see, I'll be back in a while... Teacher Tang Yue is coming too?"

Lv Cheng looked at the strange-looking Tang Yue.

"Xinxia asked if you would like to go over with me; she wants to thank you for taking care of me for the night."

"I..." Tang Yue was caught off guard for a moment.

"She agreed, we'll be back in a while... Yeah, goodbye, right, make more good food, get more meat, I'm hungry."

Lv Cheng hung up the phone and stood up, "Let's go, Sister Tang Yue."

Tang Yue revealed a strange expression.

The little girl's level is quite high!

Thank her for taking care of Lv Cheng?

This is declaring sovereignty to her!
