Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 62 The Thrill of the Deep Sea

Mu Nuxin looked at the young man in front of him who was talking so eloquently, and a hint of longing unconsciously flashed in his eyes.

Unlike her sister, she is not obsessed with cultivation. Her biggest dream is to be as powerful as Qin Xiaonan one day and to be able to speak at the negotiation table with authority.

"Mr. Xiao," Mu Nuxin couldn't help but ask, "Have you received business training since childhood?"

Qin Xiaonan chuckled when he heard this, and a deep look flashed in his golden eyes: "No, I just know what I want very well."

After negotiations, the two sides finally finalized the transaction plan.

The Mu family first gave away all their space-related spiritual objects, but the value of these things was far less than that of the monarch-level siren materials. The remaining part was exchanged for money, but the Mu family did not have so much liquid funds at the moment, so they needed to pay Qin Xiaonan in batches.

"If you have any news about space-related spiritual objects, please inform me at any time. This can also be used as a bargaining chip." Qin Xiaonan added.

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the herdsman Xinli: "Okay, no problem."

“Then it’s a pleasure to work with you.”

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

As the final price terms were finalized, it was almost dusk outside the window.

Mu Zhanxing stroked his graying beard and smiled kindly, "Thank you for your trust, young man. Why don't you stay for a meal? Our Mu family's 'Ice Crystal Sea Bass' is a specialty in the Magic City."

Qin Xiaonan nodded calmly: "Obedience is worse than respect."

The dinner was held in the waterside pavilion of the Mu family garden. The moonlight shone through the specially designed dome, reflecting a dreamy halo on the white jade dining table.

Mu Zhanxing only served as a foil, then excused himself and left the table: "I am old, you young people should talk more."

Suddenly there were only four people left at the table.

Mu Nujiao was as quiet as ever, but Mu Nuxin was much more active and personally brewed a new pot of "Snow Top Green" for Qin Xiaonan.

"Mr. Xiao, is this your first time in the Magic City?" Mu Nuxin pushed the teacup in front of him. The tea was clear as jade and asked casually, "You are so concerned about space-related spiritual objects. Mr. Xiao, are you majoring in space-related spiritual objects?"

Qin Xiaonan knew that the other party was testing her intentionally or unintentionally, probably wanting to find out her identity.

He said, "That's not the case. I major in the Earth Element. As for the use of this spatial spiritual object, I can't say more."

"Mr. Xiao's magical skills must be quite good, right?" Mu Nuxin suddenly changed the subject, a sly look in her eyes. "I'm just average, but my sister has an exceptional magical talent. We're both mages, so why not take this opportunity to learn from each other?"

Mu Nujiao was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect her sister to suddenly make such a request, but she soon understood the deeper meaning - this was indeed a good opportunity to test the other party's strength.

She put down the teacup silently, tacitly agreeing to the proposal.

Qin Xiaonan chuckled, "My magic skills are also average." He turned to look at Lan Xi beside him, "But my sister has some talent, so let her do it."

Lan Xi's long sea-blue hair swayed in the wind, and the snake-shaped tattoo on her wrist glowed faintly.

She walked slowly to the center of the courtyard, and a hazy mist gradually filled her surroundings, as if she was on the sea shrouded in morning mist.

Mu Nujiao no longer refused. She raised her white hand lightly, and dozens of thorny vines suddenly sprang out from the ground, moving like snakes.

"Sorry, Demon Vine-Bound."

Before he finished speaking, the vines shot towards Lan Xi like arrows.

However, just as it was about to touch, the water vapor in front of Lan Xi suddenly condensed into a crystal water curtain.

The moment the vines pierced the water curtain, their speed suddenly slowed, a thick layer of ice crystals quickly forming on their surface, and they eventually froze in mid-air. Seeing this, Mu Nujiao's eyes suddenly became filled with fighting spirit, and her pupils constricted slightly. After her first move failed, she immediately attacked again, quickly unleashing a mid-level magic.

"Kun's Forest - Prison!"

Mu Nujiao's cold shout echoed in the courtyard, and the ground shook violently in an instant.

Several devil vines as thick as bowls broke out of the ground, each of them wrapped in biting frost, and the surface of the vines was covered with sharp barbs.

These devilish vines intertwined and entwined like living things, covering Lan Xi's head.

Just as Lan Xi was about to be swallowed by the vines, her long sea-blue hair suddenly moved without wind.

The snake-shaped tattoo on the wrist burst out with a dazzling blue light, and a giant python made of pure water elements soared into the air.

Lan Xi's long sea-blue hair danced in the magic. Facing the overwhelming attack of plant magic vines, the snake-shaped tattoo on her wrist seemed to come alive, turning into a crystal clear water python that wrapped around her body.

After her ocean power recovered a little, her hair and eyes turned azure blue again.

"Embrace of the Deep."

She whispered softly, her voice carrying the rhythm of an ancient siren.

In an instant, a surging wave erupted with her as the center. The attacking demonic vines withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment they touched the water curtain - they were not frozen, but disintegrated by some corrosive force from the deep sea.

"What is this?!" Mu Nujiao was a little shocked. She had never seen such strange water magic.

At the same time as the magic collided in the courtyard, far away in the dark abyss canyon of the Yellow Sea, a mermaid covered with blue-black scales was floating in the cold sea water.

Its scales have a metallic luster, its tail fin has sharp bone spurs on the edge, and its pair of amber vertical pupils flash dangerously in the darkness.

“Haven’t you found it yet?”

Its sound was like the muffled rumble of an underwater volcano erupting, shaking the surrounding water slightly. Several large deep-sea electric eels swam closer cautiously, their special sensory organs on their heads flashing continuously.

"King, the breath finally disappeared on that human coast." An electric eel carefully conveyed the message, and its bioelectric current outlined a vague image in the sea water - it was the outline of the Bund in Magic City.

The mermaid king's scales suddenly stood up, making a harsh sound like metallic friction.

Its slender fingers slid across the image displayed by the electric eel, and its sharp nails drew five vacuum tracks in the sea water, which could not be filled by the sea water for a long time.

Those tracks are like torn wounds, appearing particularly glaring in the dark deep sea.

"Could it be that he was captured by a human mage?"

The Mermaid King's voice was like thunder in the abyss, causing the surrounding sea water to churn violently.

As its anger grew, the sea water within a hundred meters radius began to slowly boil, and countless tiny bubbles gushed out from the gaps in its blue-black scales.

Its amber pupils shrank to a thin line, and the scales on its chest stood up, revealing the blood-red skin beneath. This was a sign of a deep-sea merman in a rage, indicating that it had already begun to kill.

“Let’s go find it.”

This command was like dropping a bomb on the tranquil seabed. The entire sea instantly became agitated, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the pitch-black abyss.

All sorts of deformed sea beasts emerged from the cracks in the rocks and the trenches. Among them were giant octopuses with three eyes, mutant sharks with bone spurs growing on their backs, and even half-fish, half-human deep-sea warriors.

This terrifying army began to move towards the coastline.
