Chapter 17 A Twisted Fate

……

The next day at noon, Lü Cheng, who had almost exhausted his mental energy, finally woke up.

Don't do this again!

Other talismans and their powers can be used for now, but these dog and horse talismans must be activated!

Otherwise, the energy consumption when he contracts with a demon would be terrifying!

The power of the Horse Talisman allows him to recover quickly and remove negative physical conditions, including mental fatigue, while the Dog Talisman grants him powerful vitality. The combined power of the two talismans is far more effective than any Stardust artifact.

You should know that before he stopped using these two talismans, no matter how much he did, he never felt tired.

"You're awake?"

Hearing Lü Cheng get out of bed, Tang Yue came in.

"Where is this?" Lu Cheng asked in confusion.

"This is my home," Tang Yue said, handing Lü Cheng some hot water.

"I really don't know how you cultivated yourself to the point of exhausting your mental energy."

At first, she thought Lü Cheng was just too tired from staying up all night to cultivate, but after watching for a while, she realized something was wrong!

This kid is sleeping too soundly!

It was actually in a deep sleep the whole time!

She couldn't even imagine how much mental energy this must have consumed.

"Aren't you afraid of driving yourself to a mental breakdown?" Tang Yue asked helplessly.

Although Lü Cheng possesses strong mental power and a talent for mind-based abilities, excessive mental energy consumption is very dangerous. A novice mage playing like this could easily lead to a mental breakdown.

"This was an accident." Lü Cheng drank the hot water in one gulp.

"Once you have experience, you won't do it again."

"I hope so," Tang Yue said, sitting down.

"However, I'm curious, how did you summon the dragon?"

The rarity of a dragon is second only to that of a true dragon!

Even in Europe, it is extremely rare to find a mage who can contract a dragon as a beast. If there are any, they are almost always high-level or even super-level mages.

After all, the bloodline of the dragons is powerful. Almost all of them are monarchs after they reach adulthood, and not just ordinary monarchs. Many of them are great monarchs, and some are even supreme monarchs!

Only human forbidden spellcasters can suppress these adult dragons.

Moreover, wyverns have long lifespans. The oldest wyvern to date is over two thousand years old. If you can successfully contract a wyvern, it's like contracting a guardian deity for your family!

Fortunately, not many people in Bocheng are discerning enough to appreciate his value, and few realize the deeper impact of Lü Cheng's dragon. If he were outside, Lü Cheng would be treated like a treasure by powerful families.

Monarch-level Guardian Beast!

Moreover, Lü Cheng is only at the beginner level now. If a beginner mage can summon a wyvern, what about later?

She even suspected that Lü Cheng might one day be able to summon a real dragon!

"The price of keeping a secret is high. Do you think you can afford it?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Hmm..." Tang Yue paused.

"Then I won't ask."

If he continued to ask, Lü Cheng would likely steer the conversation in that direction again.

Although she didn't dislike this stable and mature boy, and even had grown somewhat fond of him, Lü Cheng was still a student, and she was a teacher; there were certain things she couldn't cross.

Even if that's the intention, we'll have to wait until later.

"By the way, what's your relationship with the Mu family and Mo Fan?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

She only heard some fragments that day, but judging from the expressions of Mo Fan, Mu Zhuoyun, and Mu Ningxue at the time, the matter was probably a bit complicated.

"A tragic love affair." Lü Cheng rubbed his head.

"To put it simply, Mu Zhuoyun wanted me to be his son-in-law, and he even prepared an engagement banquet. However, on the night of the engagement banquet, my fiancée was kidnapped, and the marriage naturally fell through."

Tang Yue was taken aback. "That's exciting?"

"Exciting?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"That's true, it's certainly exciting for you guys to watch the show, but it wasn't so exciting for me, the person involved."

"I'm sorry," Tang Yue said, somewhat embarrassed.

This kind of thing is definitely not a very interesting experience for the person involved.

"But when I inquired these past two days, I didn't hear anything about you and the Mu family," Tang Yue asked, puzzled.

Lu Cheng looked speechless. "Do you think the Mu family would release something so shameful?"

"Due to the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Zhuoyun, in order to save face for the Mu family, temporarily announced to the public that it was a birthday banquet for a branch of the Mu family, thus covering up the truth."

"Moreover, Mu Zhuoyun planned to announce the important matters only after the banquet had begun, so apart from the parties involved, no one knew the true situation that night."

Why does he dislike Mo Fan?

Tell me, which man could be magnanimous after experiencing something like this?

Yes, he knew that Mo Fan was just a hothead, a little kid back then.

Those two weren't anything special. He even knew why Mu Ningxue ran away. It was simply because she didn't want to face this controlled fate. It was a rebellious phase of adolescence. In short, it was just a momentary impulse.

So he didn't say much about it. He's an adult, an adult who's lived two lives, and he wouldn't stoop to arguing with two kids.

But he was unhappy!

I went to a dinner party all day with high spirits, only to be stood up. I ended up sitting alone in a corner like a clown all night.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Can't he even get angry anymore?

Knowing is one thing, understanding is another.

I don't mind, because he's a reasonable adult.

I'm angry and upset because he's a man.

He's not that magnanimous.

"I see..." Tang Yue nodded.

No wonder she couldn't find anything even using the Tribunal's intelligence network.

"By the way, how long did I sleep?" Lu Cheng asked.

"You slept for a whole day and night," Tang Yue said.

"One day...one day and one night?!" Lu Cheng was stunned.

"Don't be nervous." Tang Yue took Lu Cheng's phone from her.

"Your sister Xia called me last night, and I told her about your situation and told her not to worry."

"However, upon hearing my voice and learning that you stayed overnight at my house, her tone changed subtly~"

Tang Yue's expression was subtle.

Your little sister Xia is jealous!

Teenage girls are so hard to please!

"Hey, Xinxia... I'm fine, how are you? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Oh, I see. I'll be back in a bit... Teacher Tang Yue, are you coming too?"

Lu Cheng looked at Tang Yue, whose expression was strange.

"Xinxia asked if you wanted to come with me; she wanted to thank you for taking care of me all night."

"I..." Tang Yue was a little taken aback.

"She agreed, we'll be back in a bit... um, goodbye, by the way, cook lots of good food, get lots of meat, I'm hungry."

Lu Cheng hung up the phone, stood up, and said, "Let's go, Sister Tang Yue."

Tang Yue looked puzzled.

This girl is quite skilled!

Thank you for taking care of Lü Cheng?

This is a way of asserting sovereignty over her!
