Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Chapter 89: Building a force, is the senior sister’s best friend fun?
The next day.

Cheng Xiao originally wanted to return to the Magic City early in the morning, but Tang Yue insisted on treating him to lunch before letting him go.

"Come and play with your sister more often in the future." Tang Yue was considerate and helped Cheng Xiao straighten the wrinkles on his clothes.

She seems to have changed today compared to before.

That mature and charming temperament has a bit more charm.
"Yes." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Give your sister a farewell kiss." Tang Yue raised her face and closed her beautiful eyes.

Cheng Xiao gently stroked her cheek and lowered his head to kiss her.
..............................

After returning to Shanghai, Cheng Xiao's first thing was to go home and report that he was safe.

The trip to the ancient capital lasted at least ten days or half a month, and with something like that happening, Mu Nujiao and Xinxia must have been worried to death.

But with the previous incident of the Totem Black Snake in Songcheng, they should feel a little more at ease.
Seeing Cheng Xiao return safely, Xinxia first breathed a sigh of relief, then said quietly:
"Brother Cheng Xiao, are you a disaster star? Why is it that wherever you go, a disaster happens?"

"How could such cold words come out of your soft and tender little mouth?" Cheng Xiao asked while pinching Xinxia's face.

"Who made Brother Cheng Xiao always make Sister Mu and I worry?" Xinxia said resentfully.

"That's right!" Mu Nujiao echoed.

"."

Cheng Xiao thought about it and accepted the criticism obediently: "Okay, it's my fault."

Changing the subject, Cheng Xiao sneered:
"But don't you understand your own identity? How dare you talk to me like this? You must be itching for a few days, right?"

After saying that, Cheng Xiao picked up Xinxia and let her sit on his lap.

"Brother Cheng Xiao can't afford to play with me, Sister Mu, save me~~~" Xinxia begged for mercy.

Mu Nujiao originally wanted to save Xinxia, but ended up getting caught up in the trap herself.

Xinxia and Mu Nujiao, the two sisters in difficulty, surrendered obediently with the mentality of enjoying themselves if they couldn't resist.
Cheng Xiao did not take the next step, but coughed twice and said:
"Let's talk business. I want to build a force of my own."

"Own power?" Xinxia was the first to support and said with a smile:
"With Brother Cheng Xiao's current reputation, I'm afraid there will be many admiring mages coming to join him."

Mu Nujiao had some understanding of this aspect and said:
“If you want to build a power, you need to prepare a lot. Reputation alone is not enough. You also need to consider funding, manpower, and your own private territory.

"Have you prepared all these things?"

Cheng Xiao shook his head:
"This is just in the preparation stage, and I wanted to discuss it with you."

"That's perfect. I have a cousin named Mu Nuxin who can help you with funding and operations." Mu Nujiao said.

Hearing this name, Cheng Xiao was thoughtful.

Although Mu Nujiao's cousin Mu Nuxin is just an ordinary person who has not awakened magic, she is a businesswoman with top business acumen!

I remember that in the original book, when the sea monster came, the industries of many families and clans were greatly affected and went downhill.

But with Mu Nuxin in the Mu family, not only has the Mu family's foundation been stabilized, it has even continued to expand, consolidating its status as the top family in the base city of Magic City!
Cheng Xiao will naturally not give up on such a talent.
"Okay, I trust the person you recommend. If possible, I would like to let your cousin be the person in charge of operations of the force." Cheng Xiao said.

"Ah?" Mu Nujiao was stunned.

Wasn’t Cheng Xiao’s agreement a bit too hasty? After all, the person in charge of operations almost holds the lifeline of a force!
"Are you so confident?" Mu Nujiao couldn't help but ask.

"We have been together for such a long time, and you usually don't recommend anyone to me. Now that you have said it, I can trust you."

Cheng Xiao pinched her beautiful face: "You won't hurt me, will you?"

Mu Nujiao blushed:
"I see."

"When you talk to your cousin, make sure you make it clear that I can give her the space she wants, as long as she is willing to join my forces."

"Okay, I'll definitely tell her."

"." Xinxia asked: "What about the private territory and personnel?"

"For private territory, choose Feiniao City. It is still undeveloped and a good place for development." Cheng Xiao paused and continued:
"As for manpower, we are indeed still short of experts."

Ding Yumeng and her little brothers alone are not enough, after all, they are a force in the gray area.

As for this expert, Cheng Xiao has a candidate.
..............................

The next day.

Cheng Xiao broke away from Xinxia and Mu Nujiao's gentle embrace and headed for the Pearl Tower.

This trip was naturally to repair the 'Glass Phoenix Feather'.

"You always bring me surprises."

Huo Tuo stroked the 'Glass Phoenix Feather', then glanced at the repair materials brought by Cheng Xiao, frowning.

"I'm sorry, I can't repair this magic tool." Huo Tuo looked helpless.

"Why?" Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, not seeming surprised.

Huo Tuo was furious:
"Are you here to cause trouble? Who, except a blacksmith at the forbidden spell level, dares to repair this kind of magic tool intact?!
“Even if I use all my strength, I can only guarantee you a 20% success rate!

"If you fail, all your materials will be destroyed. Do you dare to repair it for me?"

"Then forget it." Cheng Xiao refused.

..............................

After leaving the Pearl Tower, Cheng Xiao went straight back to the hunting ground.

Cheng Xiao could only ask Old Man Bao for help in finding a blacksmith who could repair the magic tools made from this kind of emperor-level alien bone.

After all, Mr. Bao is an old priest, so it goes without saying that he has a lot of connections.
"Tsk, Boss Bao isn't here."

Cheng Xiao walked into the hunting ground and did not sense the presence of Old Man Bao.

Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed over angrily and threw Cheng Xiao onto the sofa.

"Sister Leng Qing, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiao looked puzzled.

"Is senior sister's best friend fun?" Leng Qing asked.

Cheng Xiao's face froze.

"It's bad enough that Tang Yue ate me, but she even came to show off to me!" Leng Qing became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and he wished he could just eat Cheng Xiao underneath him.

"Aren't you good friends?" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but say.

No wonder Tang Yue wanted to take some record photos with him after that day. It turned out that they were meant to be sent to Leng Qing.

But looking at this situation, the friendship between Leng Qing and Tang Yue seems to have undergone some subtle qualitative changes?
"That's not a reason for her to eat you without my consent!" Leng Qing's face darkened.
"I just boasted to her every day that I had a reliable and capable junior brother like you. Now she is taking revenge on me in this way!"

Cheng Xiao's eyelids jumped: "Sister Leng Qing, you are also wrong."

Leng Qing snorted lightly but did not deny it.

She lowered her head and gently kissed Cheng Xiao on the lips, then asked:
"Why are you coming to the hunting lodge instead of taking a good rest after finishing your work in the ancient capital?"

"If you need anything, please find Boss Bao."

"what's up?"

"Repair the magic tool."
