Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 41: Let Lu Ran marry into the Mu family? (Please read!)
After hearing this, Lu Ran instantly understood the reason. No wonder Mu Nujiao wanted to find a private hunting ground instead of looking for someone from the Mu family.

You have to know that there are many factions among the aristocratic families, and there are many cases of intrigue.

If Mu Nujiao borrowed the power of her family and asked the Mu family to send a hunting wizard, even if she got the wind spirit seed, it might not belong to her in the end.

Even though she is the daughter of the Mu family.

But you have to know that where there is profit, there will be competition.

Mu Nujiao will definitely get some rewards from it, but compared with the wind-type spirit seeds, those are just a small amount.

No wonder Mu Nujiao would spend her own money to find a hunter wizard!
Then, Lu Ran looked at Lingling.

Lingling immediately understood and nodded, indicating that she was willing to accept the commission!
She doesn’t want to do her homework in the waiting room anymore!!!

Seeing that Lu Ran had no intention of asking questions in return, Mu Nujiao couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"You, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "What do you want to ask? Why don't you find someone from the Mu family, but instead spend money to find a hunter from a private hunting ground for help?"

"Although I'm not from an aristocratic family, I also know some of the things that aristocratic families would do."

"If you really let the Mu family take action, even if there really is a spiritual seed, it may not fall on your head. And I guess the money for the commission this time is still paid by you, right?"

It is said to be a commission from the Mu family, but in fact it is more appropriate to say that it is Mu Nujiao’s own personal commission.

Mu Nujiao looked at Lu Ran in surprise. She didn't expect that he knew so much.

"Well, Tutu also helped me a lot." Mu Nujiao sighed.

Even for her, it was difficult to take out 10 million at once. She had to sell a magic weapon that she would not use in the near future to get the huge amount of cash.

She really spent a lot of money this time, but if she could really harvest the wind spirit seed, it would all be worth it.

"Hehe, since I can help Sister Mu, it's okay for me to ask for some pocket money from home!" Ai Tutu said with a smile, putting his hands on his hips.

"Tutu, thank you."

Mu Nujiao said something to her bestie, then looked at Lu Ran and Lingling:
"Who does the Noble Hunting Institute plan to send? I'm hoping for at least a mid-level, fully-cultivated mage. Hmm, a high-level mage would be even better."

In Mu Nujiao's opinion, spending 10 million to hire a high-level wizard was more than enough.

If it weren't for the need to ensure that the news would not be leaked, and if Qingtian Hunting House was not a time-honored brand in the Magic City with a very high reputation, she would not have asked outsiders for help.

When Lu Ran heard what Mu Nujiao said, he laughed, and laughed out of anger.

He immediately pointed at himself and Lingling and asked jokingly:

"Why, two Master Hunters helping you isn't enough?"

Lingling also raised her eyebrows, puffed out her chest, stuck out her little butt, and looked straight at Mu Nujiao, as if provoking her.

After all, he is a master hunter, and Mu Nujiao doesn't want to offend Lingling, even if it is a child-like person.

Mu Nujiao quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, I thought you weren't the hunting ground's battle mages."

Most hunting grounds have hunters who are responsible for negotiating commissions, as well as combat hunters who are responsible for carrying out missions.

But the current situation is obviously not the case with Qingtian Hunting.

Mu Nujiao subconsciously asked, "Excuse me for asking your age."

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I should be one year older than you. Yeah. Next year I will apply to Mingzhu Academy."

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu were a little surprised, because their ideal school was also Mingzhu Academy!
Lu Ran is so young, he looks about the same age as Mu Nujiao.

But normal hunter masters all have high-level cultivation as standard.

Mu Nujiao thought that although Lu Ran was a master hunter, he might be stronger than herself in terms of strength?
What's more, the spirit beside him obviously hasn't even awakened its magic.

That only meant they had completed some special commissions to advance to Master Hunter. A Warlord-level demon required at least a mid-level mage in their team to hunt.

This made Mu Nujiao ask somewhat unsurely, "Can the two of you deal with a general-level demon?"

Seeing Lu Ran waving his hand, Mu Nujiao breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Ran can already deal with general-level demons, then his strength is too exaggerated!
But soon, Lu Ran changed the subject and said:
"Dealing with a general-level demon? I'm enough on my own, I don't even need Lingling's help."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao was dumbfounded and speechless.

Ai Tutu also had a shocked expression on his face. He didn't expect that the handsome guy in front of him would be so shameless in bragging.

Nearing dusk, on the outskirts of Anjie, the magic city.

A barren mountain.

Lu Ran, Lingling, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu walked through the lush jungle and finally arrived outside a cave in the valley.

Mu Nujiao took the initiative to share information:
"Not all of the Mu family's exploration team are my people. Their investigation of the cave is only a preliminary survey. I'll trouble you from now on."

Lu Ran shrugged and left this job to Lingling.

Lingling took out a small tablet from somewhere. It looked very similar to the instrument used to detect fire elemental spirit seeds in Xishui Town last time, but it was a little different.

Lingling said quickly:

"Yes, there are indeed dense wind elements here. I also detected two life auras. Judging from the level of life aura they emit, they are undoubtedly at the general level."

Mu Nujiao was stunned. "Two demon warriors? Are they the same species?"

"That should be the case, otherwise they would definitely fight over the spirit seeds."

Seeing that Lingling hadn't finished her words, Lu Ran asked, "Lingling, is there anything else?"

Lingling hesitated for a moment: "Well, my instrument feedback also detected a lightning element!!"

"Lei? My people didn't say that."

Lingling said, "My detection equipment is of high quality, there won't be any mistakes."

Mu Nujiao was stunned and fell into deep thought.

Ai Tutu, who was standing next to him, boldly asked, "Is it possible that there are two spirit seeds in this cave? One for wind, and one for thunder?"

This question is indeed quite bold, but the probability of two spirit seeds being in the same cave is too small.

"Just waiting isn't a solution. If it were just two general-level monsters, I could handle them."

After saying that, Lu Ran entered the cave first, and Lingling hurriedly followed.

"Sister Mu, why don't you leave?" Ai Tutu asked.

Mu Nujiao sighed, "According to the contract we signed earlier, if there's an additional general-level demon, I'll have to pay more, but I can't come up with the money right now."

Ai Tutu touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:
"I have an idea. Let's just talk to Lu Ran!"

"?" Mu Nujiao was puzzled.

"Sister Mu, Lu Ran is so powerful, and he's a master hunter. He's going to attend Pearl Academy, so he'll be our future alumnus. Let's build a good relationship with him now. Who knows, maybe he'll do it for you in the future..."

Mu Nujiao frowned, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, but she still kept smiling and continued to ask: "Just what?"

Ai Tutu said with a playful smile: "Maybe it's just for you that I'll marry into the Mu family!!"
