Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 47 Methods to Escape the Mu Clan

The weather wasn't very good today. The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and strong winds were lashing against the branches, making a "rustling" sound. Raindrops were hitting the window and gradually covering the entire pane of glass.

However, the bad weather did not seem to be abating; instead, it intensified, with thunderstorms and bolts of lightning striking down from the dark clouds.

Large raindrops pattered against the glass, leaving streaks, obscuring the view outside.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, and for some reason the female singer's voice became much softer, but it only lasted for a short while. Afterward, she seemed to regain her composure and continued to sing.

The performance lasted until late at night, when the female singer must have gotten tired and abruptly stopped.

At the same time, the torrential rain stopped, no longer running rampant, and peace and tranquility returned.

Inside the room, Cheng Xiaoyu lay on the soft bed, comfortably leaning against the headboard, and couldn't help but hug that slender waist tightly.

Mu Ningxue sat in Cheng Xiaoyu's lap, their bodies pressed tightly together, drops of fragrant sweat clinging to her fair skin, glistening with a crystalline luster.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Cheng Xiaoyu's neck, resting her head on his shoulder, seemingly not wanting him to see her expression. Her fair face was flushed, her red lips were slightly parted, and her breath was sweet as orchids.

"Xiao Yu, how did you get so strong? I knew your weaknesses perfectly well—"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu lifted her round, perky buttocks with both hands, placed them on her lower abdomen, and said with a smile.

"This isn't my first time that night. I have to thank Xiaoxue for your training; it's a result of our combined efforts."

Mu Ningxue opened her lips, and whether it was from what she had just said or from changing her posture, her pretty face became even more flushed.

Realizing her expression was off, she quickly closed her red lips, but a smile appeared on her face as she looked at the hickeys she had planted on Cheng Xiaoyu's collarbone.

"Okay, you're great."

She calmed herself down, suppressed the allure in her beautiful eyes, looked up at her man, and asked softly.

"Xiao Yu, is something on your mind?"

During the evening, Mu Ningxue could sense that Cheng Xiaoyu was acting strangely, but she chose not to speak up and simply went along with him.

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his eyelids and unconsciously hugged the voluptuous body in his arms even tighter, asking.

"Xiaoxue, what do you think of this world?"

Upon hearing this question, Mu Ningxue was at a loss for words. She naturally understood the meaning behind Cheng Xiaoyu's words, and with her slender hand covering her chest, she softly replied.

"Xiao Yu, no matter what, I will stay by your side and unconditionally support your choice."

"Thanks."

Cheng Xiaoyu felt relieved for a moment, then leaned down and kissed Mu Ningxue's pink lips, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into the kiss.

"Mmm...uh~"

After a long while, the two finally ended their deep kiss. Mu Ningxue stroked Cheng Xiaoyu's cheek, her pretty face flushed and alluring, her beautiful eyes overflowing with love.

"Xiaoxue, you should go see your dad tomorrow."

"What's wrong? Suddenly you're not afraid of my dad anymore?"

"As the old saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her in-laws, and so will I, the handsome son-in-law."

"Hmph, I'm not ugly, and you weren't that handsome before!"

"You have quite a unique eye."

"I'd love to!"

The next day, Cheng Xiaoyu and Mu Ningxue arrived at the house, and Mu Zhuoyun was naturally very welcoming.

"I know everything about you, kid. Thank you for saving Xiaoxue. It's a little scary to think about it now."

Mu Zhuoyun made Cheng Xiaoyu a cup of tea, his face showing lingering fear, and he felt very grateful to the young man.

"Xiaoxue is my girlfriend, and it's my responsibility to protect her."

"Hmm, very good. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. From now on, I'm entrusting my precious daughter to you!"

"Leave it to me!"

Fortunately, Mu Ningxue went to prepare fruit; otherwise, if she had seen the father-in-law and son-in-law who had inexplicably become so agitated, she would have definitely run away in embarrassment.

"Uncle, what's the attitude of the Mu family towards you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhuoyun put down his water glass, sighed, and shook his head, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"Not good. In short, it's the treatment you get when you split up the family. I'm thinking of finding a place to retire in the future. The future belongs to you young people."

After spending about two years in the capital, his sharp edges had gradually worn down, and he no longer had the same high spirits he had when he was a local tyrant in Bocheng.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue came over with a plate of sliced ​​fruit. Upon hearing her father's words, a look of worry appeared on her pretty face.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu remained silent for a moment, then looked at Mu Zhuoyun with a serious expression and asked earnestly.

"Uncle, since things have come to this, have you considered leaving the Mu family?"

Mu Zhuoyun was taken aback, then shook his head and explained helplessly.

"It's not that easy. If it were just me, it would be fine, but Xiaoxue has already received funding from the Mu family. There's no such thing as a free lunch; she'll have to pay it back sooner or later."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded. He understood this principle. Besides, the bow inside Mu Ningxue's body was still untraceable, and the Mu family would certainly not let it go easily.

Well, it seems there's no way to break this deadlock at the moment. We can't exactly resort to force, can we? The Mu clan has quite a few powerful members.

Cheng Xiaoyu stayed here tonight, but of course he couldn't sleep in the same bed as Mu Ningxue, since her elderly father was here.

The next day, he got up early and planned to leave. He had stayed in the capital long enough, and the students at Mingzhu Academy had gone back several days earlier.

"Xiao Yu, be careful on the road, and remember to let me know you're safe."

Upon learning that Cheng Xiaoyu was leaving, Mu Ningxue felt a little reluctant, but she understood that it was time to part ways.

With the potion restoring her soul, she also wanted to take this opportunity to break through to a higher level using the Star River Vein, so she could only reluctantly embrace and part ways.

Mu Zhuoyun patted Cheng Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said that he would come to the capital again next time he had the chance, or let Mu Ningxue go to Shanghai. It seems that he has given his permission for the two of them to get together.

After leaving the capital, Cheng Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to go to Mingzhu Academy. It was already summer vacation, and he planned to go to Anjie for training.

After my training is over, I can finally go to Hangzhou to see my sister. I've missed her quite a bit; it's been so long since I've absorbed her energy.

As for the training location, let's set it up in Jinlin City. I've been there before and am familiar with the terrain, so it's a good place to practice.

Upon arriving in Jinlin City, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, mixed feelings of emotion and reflection), never expecting that such a thing had happened here a few days ago.

"Since there's a giant lizard pseudo-dragon here, there should be a nest here, right? —"

Following the street, a towering, enormous honeycomb nest soon came into view.

This honeycomb-like structure stands alone in the most bustling part of the city, its height exceeding that of the tallest skyscraper in the entire Jinlin city by more than a hundred meters, almost reaching the clouds.

The mountain peaks were covered with holes, so densely packed that it was somewhat unsettling; these holes were the lair of the lizard-headed giants.

"Yes, I've found you."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the very top of the entire peak cave, where a pair of enormous fleshy wings were slowly unfolding.

The way the fleshy wings opened was somewhat like stretching, and a huge, bright red lizard head was half-hanging off the edge of the acupoint, with its long mouth half-open, and the saliva flowing from its mouth was like a tap that was turned on.

This lizard is the leader of the Lizard-Skull Giant Monster tribe—the Giant Lizard Pseudo-Dragon!

"So much prey! Looks like we're in for a big hunt today!"

Looking at the numerous lizard-headed giants, Cheng Xiaoyu clasped his hands and fists together in front of his chest, a smile of excitement spreading across his face, his eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit.

"Stand up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the members of the Shadow Legion lined up behind him: Bell, Yegrit, Big Tooth, Ion, Tank, Wolf King—ready to obey the king's orders at any time!

"Then—let's kill them all!"
