Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 204 The sister-in-law's covetousness, cultivating the ultimate victim!

"I'm not worried about that," Cheng Xiao nodded and said.

"Let's go. I knew you were coming this morning, so I gathered all the core members at the mansion to wait for you!" Ding Yumeng said with a smile.

"Let everyone witness our glorious return to our master!"

In this city, Ding Yumeng has the most say, while Cheng Xiao, the city lord, feels like he's all in name only.

Although the power was built by Cheng Xiao, it was Ding Yumeng and Mu Nuxin who managed it from beginning to end.

Cheng Xiao is like a mascot; all he needs to do is provide fame for the faction.

As for the others, it seems they have no say at all.

They hadn't even met the core members.

Stepping into the vast mansion.

The core members stood in two rows, most of whom Cheng Xiao had never met before. They were probably people who had come because of his reputation, and they were all very excited to see Cheng Xiao.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Cheng Xiao is now the most famous mage in the country.

He is an honorary councilor of two high-level magic associations, an international master in the medical field, and a hero who killed a cardinal.

And just two days ago, the top figure at the Holy City awards ceremony that caused a sensation around the world!

There were naturally many people who came to seek refuge with him, including three super-level mages!

I got to know these core members briefly.

Standing at the very back, waiting, were some familiar faces.

Mu Ningxue, Qin Yu'er, Mu Zhuoyun, Mu Linsheng. Most of these people are from Mu Zhuoyun's lineage.

Cheng Xiao had already recruited members of Mu Zhuoyun's lineage before he even began building his own power base.

Later, Mu Ningxue also fought for the country in the struggle for the National Government, making a name for herself and clearing away the 'sins' brought by Mu He.

This did not have any impact on the development of the power.

Of course, they dared not have any impact, after all, Cheng Xiao was a hero who saved the entire ancient capital.

"Boss!" a pleasant voice called out.

Before I knew it, the owner of the voice had already rushed into my arms.

Cheng Xiao subconsciously raised his hand, but didn't hug her. He looked down and guessed:

"Mu Nuxin?"

The woman in his arms raised her beautiful face, and indeed, she did resemble Mu Nujiao in appearance.

Compared to her sister, she was just as stunningly beautiful, and her personality was different from that of the more reserved Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nuxin was poised and generous; of course, she would only use such a presumptuous act on Cheng Xiao.

When Cheng Xiao gave her this opportunity to freely use her business acumen, she really wanted to meet him.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiao is elusive and rarely seen, making it impossible to contact him.

In the evening, Cheng Xiao would be with Mu Nujiao again, and she couldn't very well interfere.

After a year, Mu Nuxin finally met her boss and brother-in-law, and she could no longer contain her excitement.

"It's me, boss!" Mu Nuxin said with a smile.

"Why don't you call him brother-in-law?"

Cheng Xiao gently pushed her away and curiously looked at his sister-in-law in front of him.

In terms of appearance and temperament, Mu Nuxin is in no way inferior to her older sister, Mu Nujiao.

However, there is still a difference in figure between her and Mu Nujiao.

"My sister isn't here, and it's still working hours, so of course I have to call the boss," Mu Nuxin said with a smile.

That makes sense.

Cheng Xiao nodded, satisfied with Mu Nuxin's work attitude.

With employees who clearly distinguish between public and private matters, the company is bound to thrive.

Mu Nuxin said this on the surface, but she didn't really think so in her heart.

Looking at Cheng Xiao's appearance and figure, she actually felt jealous of her older sister, Mu Nujiao.

This perfect man is practically her dream man; it's such a waste to let her older sister have him all to herself.

Oh, it seems Cheng Xiao has quite a few women in his life, and his sister Mu Nujiao is just one of them. Oh well, that's alright.

But it seems that my sister was one of the first to know Cheng Xiao. If only she had known Cheng Xiao earlier.

However, it doesn't seem too late now?

Mu Nuxin's beautiful eyes darted around, and she had already started making her own plans.

That was part of the reason she didn't call him brother-in-law earlier.

..............................

"This is my cousin and my father," Mu Ningxue began to introduce them to Cheng Xiao.

"Should I call him uncle or father-in-law?" Cheng Xiao asked seriously.

Mu Ningxue was taken aback, then her fair face turned bright red: "Is this the time to talk about this?!"

"Whatever."

Mu Zhuoyun, however, didn't care at all and burst into laughter.

Leaving the Mu clan, Mu Ningxue met such a wonderful man who led her people to new glory.

Aside from being a bit too sentimental, Cheng Xiao has almost no other flaws.

Mu Zhuoyun could barely feel at ease entrusting his daughter to Cheng Xiao, after all, Cheng Xiao was now the lord of a city.

Mu Linsheng is Mu Ningxue's cousin. Although his cultivation level is not high, he is excellent in management.

Moreover, he is a reliable person. He didn't have much contact with the Mu family before, but he helped Mu Zhuoyun's lineage when they were abandoned by the Mu family.

When Mu Zhuoyun joined Cheng Xiao's faction, he called Mu Linsheng over, who later helped him and resolved many problems.

"With you all here, I can relax and not be a hands-off manager," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Everyone gave their assurances.

Mu Nuxin and Ding Yumeng, in particular, the former cherished this opportunity to develop her business acumen.

Needless to say, the latter served her master wholeheartedly; what Cheng Xiao wanted was exactly what she wanted.

"Alright, everyone go about your business." Cheng Xiao looked at Qin Yu'er, who had been standing silently to the side:

"Sister Qin, come with me."

"Okay, boss." Qin Yu'er nodded obediently.

..............................

Ding Yumeng picked out a room for Cheng Xiao, but did not leave, intending to eavesdrop at the door.

Unexpectedly, a spatial barrier prevented her from eavesdropping.

"Boss." Qin Yu'er stood obediently to the side.

"Why are you so reserved? Sit down." Cheng Xiao was amused by her appearance.

Qin Yu'er said "Oh" and sat down next to Cheng Xiao.

"I heard from Ning Xue that you went to Tianshan and have now broken through to the third level of the Super Rank."

Cheng Xiao got straight to the point, taking out a spatial ring and handing it to Qin Yu'er: "This is for you."

Qin Yu'er took it and sensed the immense ice energy contained within the spatial ring, facing a question:

"Such a rich and pure ice element."

"This is the Earth Core of the Ice Attribute, which is the key to helping ice mages advance to forbidden spells," Cheng Xiao explained.

"Forbidden, forbidden spell!" Qin Yu'er instinctively refused, trying to return the spatial ring:

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

She wasn't stupid; she knew what this Earth Core represented.

"This is my private property, you don't need to worry." Cheng Xiao took Qin Yu'er's cold, jade-like hand and looked into her beautiful eyes as he spoke softly:

"Sister Qin, I'm helping you advance to the Forbidden Spell stage, not only for your sake, but also for my own."

"The enemy I will face next will require even greater strength to deal with."

"And this kind of power, only you can give me right now."
