Chapter 78: Next Time, Continue

……

"Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, Honorary Chief Judge of the Imperial Capital Judgment Court—I have already applied for these two statuses for you. They should come through in a while, but let's be clear: don't go causing trouble, especially with the Judgment Court status. You absolutely must not act recklessly!"

After some back and forth, Pang Lai got through to Lv Cheng on the phone.

"As for that Honorary President title you were thinking of, let's talk about that after you, kid, reach the Super Level."

Regarding Lv Cheng, with his and Song Qiming's recommendations, plus the incident at Jinlin Desolate City, the higher-ups were quite willing to cultivate him. Therefore, although his request this time was a bit excessive, they still reluctantly agreed. After all, Lv Cheng's strength was there for all to see; even those geniuses whom the various great families spent huge efforts to cultivate couldn't trade two blows with Lv Cheng at this age—they were basically taken out in one hit.

For a genius like this to want to secure some official status for himself was something everyone was happy to see.

These two statuses counted as an initial investment in Lv Cheng from the higher-ups. In any case, it was just a title, mainly for the sake of having a voice; the actual power wasn't very great, and even this voice depended on how Lv Cheng's strength developed later on.

"That works, but what about my Mind Stone and Fire Element Spirit Seed?" Lv Cheng asked.

"The Mind Stone will have to wait. Even we can't produce that thing in a short time; it'll take at least a few months," Pang Lai said.

"As for the Fire Element Spirit Seeds, the quantity is too large, so that will also have to wait. It'll take about a few months as well; I'll give them to you all at once then."

"But, why does a High-level Mage like you need so many Fire Element Spirit Seeds?"

"Raising a child," Lv Cheng said.

"Raising a child? You..." Pang Lai was stunned.

"You found a Contract Beast?"

"Yeah, I have a bit of news. A Fire Element Holy Spirit, Yan Ji," Lv Cheng said.

"Yan Ji? Do you need help? I don't have much going on lately," Pang Lai said.

"No need, I can handle it." Lv Cheng declined Pang Lai's good intentions.

"Alright, remember to find me if you need help. Don't be like this time; if something happens to you, I'm afraid your mother will tear the Magic Palace apart in the future," Pang Lai said, feeling weary.

"Forget it. If she really cared about me, she wouldn't have left without a word back then. It's been over ten years and there hasn't been a shred of news. Even if she's still alive, she has nothing to do with me anymore."

"A-Cheng, your parents..."

"Bye!"

……

Imperial Capital, Mu Family.

"An arranged marriage?"

In Mu Ningxue's room, ever since causing a scene at the Magic Palace, Lv Cheng had run over here, and she hadn't been able to get out of bed for several days now.

"Has your father really reached the point of selling his daughter?" Lv Cheng asked, amused.

Back when he was still in Bo City, he had already told Mu Zhuoyun not to run to the Imperial Capital. This godforsaken place was crawling with local bullies; without connections, you couldn't take a single step.

But Mu Zhuoyun, thinking Mu Ningxue was doing fine at the Imperial Capital Academy and assuming the Imperial Capital Mu Clan would help out at least a little, had brought the Mu Family to the Imperial Capital to make a living after Bo City. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before reality gave him a fierce slap in the face.

The Imperial Capital Mu Clan didn't care at all about the life or death of Mu Zhuoyun's branch; at most, they treated them like slightly higher-class servants. Even for Mu Ningxue, to the Mu Clan, she was merely a tool used to nurture bows. Unfortunately, Mu Zhuoyun was still completely oblivious.

"It's not..." Mu Ningxue lay limply in Lv Cheng's arms, looking with some resentment at this tireless bastard.

He really doesn't get tired!

Ever since he snuck into her bed three days ago, he hadn't stopped!

She had passed out several times in the middle, but this bastard used some kind of sorcery, and he would restore her to full state whenever he wanted!

She was breaking down!

If she had still felt a bit unhappy about Lv Cheng's philandering before, then after these few days, that bit of unhappiness had completely vanished!

If it were really just her alone, she would die!

She would definitely die!

"Didn't you say you were ready?" Lv Cheng looked innocent.

"I..." Mu Ningxue glared at Lv Cheng, feeling weak and powerless.

It was indeed she who had called Lv Cheng over, because she didn't want to be pushed to the back of the line like this bastard said, but how could she have imagined that this guy was a monster!

He simply didn't get tired!

"Alright, alright, I'm wrong. I'll take it easy next time." Lv Cheng gently patted Mu Ningxue's back.

"This is my first time too, I didn't know how to pace myself."

"Is it really your first time?" Mu Ningxue was somewhat skeptical.

Didn't they say that a guy's first time is always very quick?

"Of course. I've been keeping myself pure just for you," Lv Cheng said.

Although he had almost been "broken" by Tang Yue back in Bo City, it was a pity that Pang Lai had interrupted them at the final moment, and he hadn't had a chance since. Now, it was Mu Ningxue's turn to benefit.

Mu Ningxue curled her lip, "You only kept your body..."

Even so, Mu Ningxue felt much better inside. At least, she was the first.

"Seriously, did your dad really sell you?" Lv Cheng asked.

"No." Mu Ningxue pressed her face against Lv Cheng's chest.

"My father has always wanted you to be his son-in-law; that hasn't changed all these years. He has always felt guilty about what happened back then, so he never made any arrangements for me regarding this matter."

"But our family's business hasn't been doing well since we came to the Imperial Capital, especially a few months ago when the news of your disappearance in Jinlin Desolate City came back. Everyone said you were dead, and the excuse my father used to fend off outsiders was gone."

"And then, the Mu Family's business has been getting harder and harder to do these past few months..."

Lv Cheng gently pinched Mu Ningxue's little face, "If it were before, you wouldn't have told me about this kind of thing."

"It seems my skills in bed are quite good; they've already got you acting like a little wife."

"Hmph!" Mu Ningxue let out a muffled grunt, her hand hidden under the blanket launching a sudden sneak attack.

So hot!

"Hmm?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Want more?"

Mu Ningxue's expression turned panicked, and she hurriedly let go, "I didn't! Don't come again! I really can't hold on anymore!"

Scared! Truly scared!

She had never imagined that one day she would be begging for mercy over such a thing!

"That's not up to you; who told you to touch things you shouldn't..."

"Ningxue is still resting; it really isn't convenient."

"Uncle Mu Zhuoyun, I really just want to see how Ningxue is resting; I have no other intentions."

"Anyway, since you are both going to be married, it doesn't hurt to see her."

"Mr. Zhou, this is really..."

Knock knock!

Accompanied by a commotion, the bedroom door was knocked upon.

Lv Cheng, who had just burrowed into the quilt, sat up with a look of annoyance.

Mu Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief, weakly poking her head out from the quilt and pressing against Lv Cheng's side.

"Who is it?"

"..."

Outside the door, upon hearing this unfamiliar male voice, the expressions of the Zhou Family father and son instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

What is going on?

Bang!

Mr. Zhou kicked the bedroom door open with an annoyed look, and Zhou Youhong followed him in.

"You... you all..."

Seeing the strange man on the bed with his upper body exposed, and Mu Ningxue, who looked like a bird clinging to a person, clutching the quilt with both hands and revealing only half her head, the faces of the Zhou Family father and son turned so gloomy they looked as if they could drip water.

"Mu Zhuoyun! What is the meaning of this?" Mr. Zhou said coldly.

"This..." Mu Zhuoyun looked helpless.

"This is what I meant by it not being convenient earlier."

These two children hadn't left the bed in days, and the food left at the door hadn't been touched; he didn't need to guess what they were doing, did he?

He had said it wasn't convenient, but they had insisted on seeing for themselves.

"Slut! Youhong, let's go!" Mr. Zhou snorted coldly, having no more patience left.

A woman like this had no qualification to enter the doors of their Zhou Family!

"Wait a moment." Lv Cheng's chilling voice suddenly rang out, and a terrifying pressure descended abruptly, pinning the Zhou Family father and son in place, unable to move.

"Slut? I don't quite understand these two words."

"The two of you, care to explain?"

"You!" Mr. Zhou's face darkened, and just as he was about to activate Magic to resist, a sharp pain shot through his limbs; at the same time, a thick, large hand quickly gripped his neck, preventing him from letting out any noisy roars.

After a series of twists, Mr. Zhou passed out completely.

"A-Cheng, this..."

Mu Zhuoyun looked on with a stiff expression at the black-clad warrior that had jumped out from who knows where, instantly snapping the limbs of the old Mr. Zhou and folding them backward, turning the man into a ball.

It was too damn cruel!

"You!" Zhou Youhong watched this scene, his whole body trembling.

"Do you know what you are doing! My Zhou Family will not let you off!"

Lv Cheng frowned slightly, and the black shadows present very sensibly subdued Zhou Youhong using the same method.

Although they were only Warrior-level shadow soldiers, human Mages were fragile; in a surprise close-quarters attack, a Mage unable to cast Magic was no different from an ordinary human.

The activation of Magic requires calmness, otherwise, one cannot control the stars, and when faced with the excruciating pain of broken limbs, few people can remain calm; the impact of intense pain would cause a human brain to crash.

"Take them out first." Lv Cheng waved his hand.

The lead shadow soldier bowed, directing the other shadow soldiers to carry the two newly crafted "basketballs" out of the bedroom, and while they were at it, they also carried the stunned Mu Zhuoyun out.

"A-Cheng, these are..." Mu Ningxue was a little bewildered.

Dark creatures that ran out of shadows?

Can the Summoning Element summon dark creatures?

"This is a bit complicated; I'll explain it to you later." Lv Cheng placed his hand on Mu Ningxue's smooth lower abdomen.

"Don't!" Mu Ningxue instinctively tried to stop him.

"Don't come again, I really can't take it anymore!"

The physical fatigue had recovered instantly, but as for that mental aspect, if it continued, she felt she would turn into a fool!

"Don't worry, it ends here for now." Lv Cheng lowered his head and kissed Mu Ningxue's burning, flushed little face.

"We'll continue next time."
