Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 144 The Deal is Made, Xu Beichen's Quirks

"If you stay here, there will only be one outcome: you will be caught by the Research Society, and the consequences will not be as simple as they were before."

Seeing that she didn't trust him, Xu Beichen continued.

"I can handle it myself," Yu Shishi said coldly, seemingly still holding a grudge about what had just happened.

She was clearly prepared, but then she said it was just a joke?

"Hehe, now it's not just the Research Institute that's eyeing you. With your strength alone, and all these little moths on the mountain, you're just waiting to be slaughtered," Xu Beichen said again.

Upon hearing that the moths were safe, Yu Shishi was stunned for a moment. In her heart, the moths were her true family, even more important than human lives.

"I'm sure you understand the importance of that seed manufacturing technology. A mere research institute is nothing compared to that," Xu Beichen suddenly said, surprising everyone.

Yu Shishi's pupils contracted. Was this guy a tapeworm in her stomach? How did he know everything?

"What makes you think I can create Heavenly Seeds? I'm just an ordinary country girl," Yu Shishi said expressionlessly.

"Whether you can do it or not, you know in your heart. This is an opportunity for you, so don't waste this only chance to save yourself and these moths all over the mountain," Xu Beichen said calmly.

Yu Shishi fell silent. She did know Xu Beichen well and he did have the ability to protect her.

But why should she trust someone who mocked her on their very first meeting?

"Why should I believe you won't abandon me after using me?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Shishi looked up at Xu Beichen and said.

"Do you have any other choice? Just like before, you still had to obediently submit," Xu Beichen said calmly.

Yu Shishi is indeed very smart, but being too smart is not entirely a good thing. For Xu Beichen, it might even create more trouble.

The same is true for Azhariya.

However, Yu Shishi was different, because all Yu Shishi cared about was the Moon Moth Phoenix and these moths.

As long as their safety is guaranteed, Yu Shishi won't cause any trouble, which is why Xu Beichen revealed everything.

Yu Shishi couldn't refute Xu Beichen's cruel yet realistic words; her little bit of power was indeed insignificant.

"I can agree to help you create the Heavenly Seed, but I must tell you beforehand that this requires a huge amount of resources, so you should be prepared."

After thinking about it, Yu Shishi decided to agree for now and find an opportunity to investigate Xu Beichen's information later.

Xu Beichen didn't care about Yu Shishi's little schemes. It would be strange if such a smart woman were to be honest and obedient.

"You don't need to worry about resources," Xu Beichen said.

"Are you really willing to shelter us?"

Yu Shishi looked at Xu Beichen to confirm, a hint of longing flickering in her eyes. Her tragic childhood experiences made her yearn even more for a place to settle down.

"It's just a transaction. If you're willing to throw yourself at me, I won't refuse."

Xu Beichen looked her over closely; her beautiful face and graceful figure were both exceptional.

"You wish!"

Yu Shishi rolled her eyes at him; this guy definitely had some kind of weird quirk.

"You all stay here for now. Once I find a suitable place to settle down, I'll let you bring these moths over."

"Oh, and there's one more important thing: don't block the water source again. Do you know that your self-proclaimed clever tricks could get you killed?"

After explaining the matter, Xu Beichen reminded Yu Shishi.

"A death sentence?" Yu Shishi looked incredulous; this guy was definitely just trying to scare her again.

Seeing her disbelief, Xu Beichen explained, "Your water problem has already alarmed Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy. If they send a high-level mage to investigate, what do you think your fate will be?"

Since Mu Nujiao is undertaking this graduation task, he should naturally offer his assistance. Moreover, if he were to leave her unattended, Dean Xiao would certainly send an even more powerful mage to investigate.

At that time, Yu Shishi's meager strength would be like an egg hitting a rock!

Upon hearing Xu Beichen's explanation, Yu Shishi couldn't help but shudder.

"Then you'd better hurry, or if the Research Institute takes me away, your Heavenly Seed will be gone."

Yu Shishi's calm words carried a hint of threat.

"Heh, it's just a research council. Even if they kidnap you, I can still get you out," Xu Beichen said dismissively.

Let alone the Research Society, even challenging the Asian Magic Association wouldn't be difficult for him.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that she was so important to him.

No, it should be said that the importance of the Heavenly Seed to him surpassed offending the Research Society and the forces behind it.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Then I will wait patiently for you to welcome me back to my family home."

After discussing the matter with Yu Shishi, Xu Beichen went straight back to the hotel.

Xu Beichen wasn't worried that Yu Shishi might run away. She was a smart woman and wouldn't miss out on a sanctuary capable of protecting her and the moth.

Although there are some unknowns, it is undoubtedly much safer to stay by Xu Beichen's side than to join the Research Institute.

Back at the hotel, Xu Beichen found that Gu Yuena was still awake, so he pulled her aside for another in-depth study session.

Although Gu Yuena has not fully recovered, her physical resilience is much stronger than Mu Ningxue's.

With the enhancement from a large amount of soul beast meat, Xu Beichen's body was far superior to that of other mages, and even some forbidden spell mages could not compare to him.

Based on his physique alone, Xu Beichen could hold his own against a legitimate monarch-level being, and at least wouldn't be instantly killed.

If combined with top-tier armor and defensive magical artifacts, even legitimate monarchs would have no chance of harming him.

After a night, Mu Nujiao led her students to investigate the water source again, and to their surprise, they found that the water source had started to flow again.

The students were overjoyed. They had been worrying about this graduation task yesterday, but after taking a nap, the task was already completed.

So it turns out that pie really does fall from the sky!

Mu Nujiao seemed to be deep in thought. She did not believe that the water problem had disappeared naturally, and there was only one monk in Tongxiang County who was capable of handling this problem.

Xu Beichen!

"Is he helping me?" Mu Nujiao pondered to herself.

With this in mind, Mu Nujiao immediately took several students to find Xu Beichen.

When they returned to the hotel lobby, they ran into Xu Beichen and Gu Yuena having breakfast.

These are all the nourishing meals that Xu Beichen prepared to help Gu Yuena recover.

"Beichen, do you know about the water source in Tongxiang County?" Mu Nujiao stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, I went to check it out last night and found a demon causing trouble under Qingyi Lake. I took care of it for you."
