Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 11: Mind Stone, Looking for a Backer for the Future
Qingtian Hunting House.

"Since you've completed the commission, you can team up with Lingling from now on. As for the bounty, tell Leng Qing your card number later, and the hunting agency will transfer your share to you."

Old Man Bao didn't seem surprised that Zhou Haoyu completed the commission, and he continued talking to himself.

"Ok."

Zhou Haoyu doesn't care much about the bounty. His main purpose of joining the hunting ground is to open Lingling's treasure chest.

[Opening conditions: Satisfied.]

【Opening.】

[Obtain a large piece of Mind Stone. ]

In just a moment, Zhou Haoyu sensed that there was a stone object in the space ring, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Zhou Haoyu was worrying about how to improve his mental power, but now he got a pillow just as he was sleepy.

Mind stones are extremely precious. A fingernail-sized mind stone costs hundreds of millions, and slightly larger mind stones are even more priceless and cannot be bought with money.

"It's getting late. Why don't you rest in the hunting lodge today? There are still some spare rooms upstairs."

After Leng Qing transferred the bounty to Zhou Haoyu, he took the initiative to speak to him.

"This"

Zhou Haoyu looked back at Mu Ningxue who was waiting. He had originally planned to stay in a hotel, but at this time he didn't know when he would find one.

"Okay, thank you Sister Leng Qing." Zhou Haoyu thanked.

"Second floor, the room at the end of the corridor." Leng Qing placed a key on the counter.

"Sister Leng Qing, you should also rest early."

Zhou Haoyu took the key and went to the room on the second floor with Mu Ningxue.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Haoyu hugged Mu Ningxue in his arms and started to nibble on her.

Mu Ningxue seemed to have adapted to it. Not only did she not resist, she sometimes even took the initiative to cater to him.

"You go to sleep first, I'll practice for a while."

Zhou Haoyu looked down at Mu Ningxue's slightly swollen pink lips. It was really wonderful to have a fiancée to do whatever he wanted with.

However, in order to protect Mu Ningxue in the future, he had to become stronger. Relying solely on the Zhou family was far from enough.

"Okay, you too...don't overwork yourself." Mu Ningxue said with a slightly red face.

She didn't sleep well last night and she really needed a good rest.

After Mu Ningxue fell asleep, Zhou Haoyu held the Mind Stone in his palm and entered a state of meditation.

The use of the Mind Stone is very simple. Just keep it by your side during meditation and it will enhance the mage's mental power.

Unlike other mages, Zhou Haoyu has the origin of mental power, and these mental powers will eventually be transformed into mental power.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a wizard to use his mental power directly, and he can only enhance the power of magic in the space, curse, mind and other magic systems.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for space mages to control weapons to kill enemies.

After all, telekinesis is only a basic magic. Even if one's mental power is relatively strong, the effect on demons is not obvious.

But Zhou Haoyu is completely different. His mental power is not limited to space magic, and it can even allow him to easily kill general-level demons.

As long as you continue to improve your mental power, it is not impossible to fight against a commander-level demon at the intermediate level.

Zhou Haoyu practiced until three or four in the morning before crawling into the blankets that Mu Ningxue had warmed.

Although it was a little cold, Zhou Haoyu didn't care and fell asleep with his arms around her. It was almost noon when Zhou Haoyu slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake. Here's your breakfast, but it's cold. Do you want me to heat it up for you?" Mu Ningxue pointed to the breakfast on the bedside table.

Zhou Haoyu stared blankly at Mu Ningxue in front of him. Could he still be dreaming?
Is this still the Mu Ningxue he knew? Could it be that she was conquered by his tough attitude?

Mu Ningxue didn't know why she did this. She just felt that she slept more peacefully than ever before last night, so she bought an extra breakfast in the morning.

"That's it, I prefer it cold." Zhou Haoyu didn't have too many requirements for food.

Mu Ningxue understood the meaning behind Zhou Haoyu's words and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Zhou Haoyu grabbed a steamed dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, then frowned the next moment. The taste of the steamed dumpling became much worse after it got cold.

"Ahem, it's getting late now. Let's have lunch first, and then we'll go back to the capital."

Zhou Haoyu put the uneaten buns back into the bag, preparing to pack them up and throw them away later.

This time we found five treasure chests and opened one of them, which is pretty good.

Now that I have successfully joined the Qingtian Hunting House, I will definitely come to the Magic City often in the future, so it is better to take Mu Ningxue back first to avoid worrying my father and Uncle Mu.

If I stay in Shanghai for a few more days, my dad and Uncle Mu will probably think that I'm going to be a grandfather.

After going downstairs, Zhou Haoyu briefly told Leng Qing and Lingling about the situation, mostly about his identity and the frequency of monster hunting in the future.

It is impossible for Zhou Haoyu to rush to Shanghai every few days. Two or three times a month is enough.

It just so happens that Lingling still needs to go to school, so there is no conflict between the two.

When Lingling learned that her new partner was going to run away, she immediately stepped hard on Zhou Haoyu with an unhappy look on her face.

After returning to the imperial capital, Mu Ningxue separated from Zhou Haoyu. They were only engaged now, so it was impossible for her to live in the Zhou family forever.

Even if Zhou Haoyu was willing, Mu Ningxue didn't want to be hugged and chewed by this guy every day.

Zhou Haoyu did not force it. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway, and he had more important things to do at the moment.

After the identities of Mu Yuang and Mu He are exposed, the Mu family will definitely be kicked out by the Mu family, and the Zhou family will definitely be implicated.

Although Zhou Haoyu has ways to deal with this negative information, he still needs to be wary of Mu's suppression.

The simplest and most direct way is to find a more reliable backer.

If he were at Mingzhu Academy, Zhou Haoyu could find a way to become Dean Xiao's disciple, but the Zhou family was far away in the imperial capital, and Dean Xiao could not be of much help.

Unless Dean Xiao reveals his forbidden curse identity, but this is not realistic.

As for Old Man Bao, he certainly wouldn't get involved in the fight between these families.

After much thought, Zhou Haoyu could only target Jiang Yu's teacher, Chief Pang Lai of the Magic Palace.

As the number one summoner in the country, Chief Pang Lai’s strength is naturally needless to say. The most important thing is that he represents the Magic Palace and is one of China’s saint-level wizards.

If they had the support of the entire Magic Palace, the Mu family would definitely be more restrained.

Moreover, Zhou Haoyu happens to have the summoning system, and he is also quite familiar with Jiang Yu, so it is not impossible for him to meet Pang Lai if he really wants to.

However, if one wants to become Pang Lai's disciple, one must have outstanding summoning talent.

Although I had previously obtained the 'Substantial Improvement in Summoning Talent' from Jiang Yu's treasure chest, it still depended on the potential of the summoned beast.

At least in the early stages, summoned beasts are still very important to summoners.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Zhou Haoyu plans to focus on practicing the summoning system.
