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

Chapter 72: Mu Ningxue: Who is Mu Nujiao? Are you close to her?
As if realizing her words were a bit abrupt, Mu Ningxue explained:

"Well, I became a hunter mage, mainly to gain experience and improve my combat skills. I happen to be staying in the Magic City for a while, so I wanted to help out."

“I don’t need the bonus.”

Mu Ningxue was so humble that Mo Fan couldn't handle her.

Lingling didn't know what to say either.

Mo Fan was the first to take on this commission. Logically speaking, even if the Scale-Skinned Demon Mother ran away, she would still be his prey.

Next, Mo Fan continued to hunt down the Scale-Skinned Demon Mother. If others intervened, it would be like stealing her life.

But Mu Ningxue had already spoken, and as her man, Lu Ran certainly couldn't turn a blind eye.

Lu Ran said:
"Mo Fan, that parasitic demon ran away and is nowhere to be found now, right?"

Mo Fan nodded helplessly.

He tried his best to track it with shadow, but found nothing.

This is also what he is worried about.

A special demon that can infect and parasitize humans, once it hides, it is likely that more humans will suffer.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"In that case, give Ning Xue a chance to participate. Everyone should rely on their own abilities and methods. You've already received the commission, so the next thing we need to do is to help you clean up the mess."

This is the truth.

The commission money was transferred to the Qingtian Hunting Office card after defeating the male scaly-skinned monster and regaining its will.

As for the female scaly-skinned monster, that was a different price. Mo Fan had searched for two but still found nothing, so he basically gave up hope.

Besides, since Lu Ran had already spoken, Mo Fan felt that he had to give him this favor.

He immediately smiled and said:
"Brother Ran, now that you've spoken, how can I not give you face?"

"Go ahead and catch them. If you do, I'll have to thank you for cleaning my ass. I'll treat you to a meal."

Mu Ningxue was speechless after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran helped her get this opportunity with just a few words.

Moreover, in the end, Mo Fan still has to thank me.

This made Mu Ningxue look at Lu Ran in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran has changed so much.

Seeing Mo Fan's understanding, Lu Ran was very pleased and patted Mo Fan on the shoulder:
"Your summoned beast is a ghost wolf, right? You should have an advanced servant, right?"

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Brother Ran to suddenly mention the Phantom Wolf Beast. He replied:
"Yes, this ghost wolf beast is a bit restless and often fights in the summoning plane, but it is also quite competitive. It just broke through a while ago."

Lu Ran nodded and said:
"I'll find some time later and summon an Undead War Wolf to practice with your Ghost Wolf Beast."

Mo Fan panicked when he heard this.

What?
If you let the ghost wolf beast attack your general, he will probably be scared to death!
Mo Fan vaguely remembered the scene on the day of the special recruitment at Mingzhu Academy. The newly summoned Phantom Wolf was frightened by Lu Ran's Undead War Wolf and dared not return to his side. The scene was still vivid in his mind.

Lingling on the side said speechlessly:
"Mo Fan, this is good news. Lu Ran wants to help you!"

This made Mo Fan even more confused.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Let the Ghost Wolf Beast come into contact with the War General creatures early on, so that it can adapt to the War General's breath and aura. This will be of great help to its future advancement to the War General level. If you don't want to..."

When Mo Fan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Upon hearing that it would be helpful for the Phantom Wolf Beast's advancement to a battle general, Mo Fan immediately responded;

"Yes, Brother Ran, you have to lead me!"

"Find a chance to open my little wolf's eyes."

Lu Ran jokingly said, "Okay, but you have to inform the Phantom Wolf Beast in advance. If it gets scared and becomes weak, I won't pay for its medical expenses."

Off to the side, Lingling and Mu Ningxue exchanged a glance, then quietly watched the two men perform a duet.

Left the Qingtian Hunting Ground.

Mu Ningxue asked, "Lu Ran, what should we do next?"

It was her first time searching for demons in the city, and she felt a little surprised and a little yearning at the same time.

Lu Ran blinked. He couldn't just tell Mu Ningxue that if he waited a few more days, the Scale-Skinned Demon Mother would run to the Pearl Academy to die, right?
After thinking about it, Lu Ran said:
"This commission has been almost completed by Lingling and Mo Fan. Lingling is trying to find the location. For now, we can only wait and see."

"but."

Lu Ran paused deliberately, which irritated Mu Ningxue, and she said coquettishly:

"But what?"

Lu Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Everything depends on human effort. Let's make some preparations in advance."

"Prepare?"

A few days later.

Mingzhu Academy, a training ground in Qing Campus.

"Lu Ran, your cultivation has become so strong?" Mu Ningxue asked in shock.

In the center of the venue, Mu Ningxue's Ice Domain unfolded, coupled with wind magic that possessed spiritual seeds.

Among her peers, she has always been invincible and able to crush everyone to victory.

But today, when she faced Lu Ran, she was defeated and crushed.

Her ice and strong winds could not break Lu Ran's water shield at all, there was nothing she could do.

Although she knew that Lu Ran was incredibly powerful, Mu Ningxue never expected that she would be defeated so completely. She couldn't even break Lu Ran's defense, and she felt a little depressed for a moment.

Lu Ran jokingly said:
"How can I regain my power as a husband if my cultivation level is not as high as yours?"

Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Lu Ran and ignored him. Instead, she walked to the edge of the venue and wiped the sweat off her body with a towel.

Lu Ran refused to give in:

"What did you say before the sparring? If you lose, you have to agree to one condition from the other party. Hey."

Mu Ningxue turned halfway and asked:
"What conditions do you want to propose?"

Lu Ran fell silent, his eyes fixed on Mu Ningxue's alluring figure and tempting little lips, his feelings speaking for themselves.

In the past, Mu Ningxue would have blushed and been unable to stand still because of Lu Ran's stare.

But at this moment, I think of some things that happened these days.

Mu Ningxue suddenly chuckled cunningly and asked:
"I've been visiting Mingzhu Academy these past few days, and I keep hearing people comparing me to Mu Nujiao. Who is she?"

Lu Ran was speechless, thinking: This one has finally arrived.

"Uh, Xinxia's college roommate."

"that is it?"

Lu Ran blinked and said:
"We have a good relationship. I got my water spirit seed from the Mu family."

Mu Ningxue nodded and walked out of the training room. Suddenly, she turned around and looked directly into Lu Ran's deep eyes and asked:
"It is said that she is very beautiful?"

Lu Ran thought about it and answered:

"This is how the students at Mingzhu Academy answered this question. They all say she's the supreme goddess, the Mingzhu campus belle, so of course she's beautiful."

Mu Ningxue hadn't deliberately looked at Mu Nujiao's photos online, but after hearing what Lu Ran said, she had some guesses in her mind.

Lu Ran asked strangely:
"This is the first time I see you paying attention to these things."

Mu Ningxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she blinked her lively eyes and said:
"Not that I care. Xinxia mentioned it to me when we were chatting last night."

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, his mouth twitching as he said, "Then shouldn't you know their relationship?"

Mu Ningxue turned around, her charming figure standing straight, her lips pouting as she said:
"I didn't say I didn't know?"

Lu Ran's face darkened.

I finally understood that this girl was playing a trick on me.
