Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

Chapter 144: Deal Done, Xu Beichen's Quirk
"If you stay here, there will be only one outcome, and that is being caught by the Institute. The consequences will not be as simple as just now."

Seeing that she didn't trust him, Xu Beichen continued.

"I can handle it myself." Yu Shishi said with a cold face, as if she was still upset about what happened just now.

She was clearly prepared, but she actually said it was just a joke?
"Haha, it's not just the Research Institute that's targeting you now. With your strength alone, and these little moths all over the mountain, you're destined to be slaughtered." Xu Beichen said again.

Upon hearing that the moths were safe, Yu Shishi was stunned for a moment. In her heart, moths were her real family, even more important than human life.

"I believe you are also aware of the importance of seed manufacturing technology. A mere research and development committee is nothing." Xu Beichen suddenly said shockingly.

Yu Shishi's pupils shrank. Could this guy be a worm in her stomach? How could he know everything?

"Why do you think I can produce the heavenly seed? I'm just an ordinary country girl." Yu Shishi said expressionlessly.

"You know whether you can do it or not. This is an opportunity for you. Don't waste the only chance to save you and these moths on the mountain." Xu Beichen said calmly.

Yu Shishi fell silent. She did have some understanding of Xu Beichen and knew that he had the ability to protect her.

But how could she trust someone who teased her the first time they met?

"Why should I trust you not to burn bridges?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Shishi looked up at Xu Beichen and said.

"Do you have any other choice? Just like before, you have to surrender obediently." Xu Beichen said lightly.

Yu Shishi is indeed very smart, but being too smart is not entirely a good thing. For Xu Beichen, it may even cause more trouble.

The same is true for Asharuya.

However, Yu Shishi is also different, because Yu Shishi only cares about the Moon Moth Phoenix and these moths.

As long as their safety is guaranteed, Yu Shishi will not cause any trouble, which is why Xu Beichen told her everything.

Yu Shishi had no way to refute Xu Beichen's cruel but realistic words. Her little bit of strength was indeed insignificant.

"I can promise to help you make the Heavenly Seed, but I must tell you in advance that it will require a huge amount of resources. You must be mentally prepared."

Yu Shishi thought about it and decided to agree first, and then find an opportunity to investigate Xu Beichen's information.

Xu Beichen didn't care about Yu Shishi's little thoughts. It would be strange if such a smart woman behaved honestly.

"You don't need to worry about resources." Xu Beichen said.

"Are you really willing to protect us?"

Yu Shishi looked at Xu Beichen for confirmation, with a hint of desire in her eyes. Her tragic childhood experiences made her even more eager to have a place to settle down.

"It's just a deal. If you're willing to throw yourself into my arms, I won't refuse."

Xu Beichen looked at her closely. Her beautiful face and graceful figure were both excellent.

"You think beautifully."

Yu Shishi rolled her eyes at him. This guy definitely had some weird quirk.

"You guys stay here for the time being. Once I find a suitable place to stay, I'll let you and these moths move in."

"Oh, there's one more important thing. Stop blocking the water source. Do you know that your self-proclaimed clever tricks could bring about your own death?"

After Xu Beichen finished explaining the matter, he reminded Yu Shishi.

"A fatal disaster?" Yu Shishi looked incredulous. This guy must be trying to scare her again. Seeing her disbelief, Xu Beichen explained, "Your water source problem has alarmed Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy. If they send a super-class mage to investigate, what do you think will happen to you?"

Since Mu Nujiao is here to do this graduation task, he naturally has to help. Moreover, if he leaves her alone, Dean Xiao will definitely send a more powerful magician to investigate.

By then, Yu Shishi's limited strength will be like an egg hitting a stone!

After hearing Xu Beichen's explanation, Yu Shishi couldn't help but shudder.

"Then you must hurry up. If the Kenji Society captures me, your natural offspring will be gone."

There was a hint of threat in Yu Shishi's calm words.

"Haha, it's just a research committee. Even if they capture you, I can get you back." Xu Beichen said disapprovingly.

Not to mention the Research Institute, even attacking the Asian Magic Association would not be difficult for him.

Hearing this, Yu Shishi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that she was so important in his heart.

No, it should be said that the importance of Tianzhong in his heart exceeds offending the Research Institute and the forces behind it.

"Then I will wait patiently for you to take me home."

After finishing the discussion with Yu Shishi, Xu Beichen went straight back to the hotel.

Xu Beichen was not worried that Yu Shishi would run away. She was a smart person and would not miss a shelter that could protect her and the moth.

Although there are some unknowns hidden, it is undoubtedly much safer to follow Xu Beichen than to go to the Research Institute.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Beichen found that Gu Yuena was still awake, so he pulled her over to study in depth.

Although Gu Yuena has not fully recovered, her body's resilience is much stronger than Mu Ningxue's.

After being strengthened with a large amount of soul beast meat, Xu Beichen's body is no longer comparable to other mages, and even some forbidden spell mages cannot compare to him.

Just based on his physique, Xu Beichen can fight against the orthodox monarch level, at least he won't be killed instantly.

If he were to use top-notch armor and defensive magic tools, the legitimate monarch would basically have no chance of hurting him.

After a night passed, Mu Nujiao took the students to investigate the water source problem again, and was surprised to find that the water source had actually started to flow.

Several students were very excited. They were still worrying about the graduation task yesterday, but after a good sleep, the graduation task was completed.

It turns out that pie really does fall from the sky!

Mu Nujiao seemed to be thinking about something. She didn't believe that the water source problem would disappear naturally, and there was only one wizard in Tongxiang County who was capable of dealing with this problem.

Xu Beichen!
"Is he helping me?" Mu Nujiao thought secretly.

Thinking of this, Mu Nujiao immediately took a few students to find Xu Beichen.

When I returned to the hotel lobby, I happened to run into Xu Beichen and Gu Yuena having breakfast.

These are the nourishing meals Xu Beichen prepared to help Gu Yuena recover.

"Beichen, do you know the source of water in Tongxiang County?" Mu Nujiao walked forward and said.

"Well, I went to check last night and found a demon haunting the bottom of Qingyi Lake, so I took care of it for you."
