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

Chapter 54 The Mu Family's Bargaining Chips: Mu Ningxue

"no."

Although he was somewhat tempted, Xu Beichen still chose to refuse.

Although Xu Beichen disliked the Mu family, he was not against cooperating with them, as long as he could earn points.

However, Xu Beichen still had principles. Since he had already made an agreement with the other family heads, he should keep his word and not lose sight of the bigger picture.

Seeing Xu Beichen's determination, Fan Ning's expression grew increasingly grim. If nothing worked, the chance to break through the forbidden spell would slip through their fingers.

"Ahem, Mr. Xu, what do you think of our Mu family's pride and joy?"

Fan Ning took a few steps and then pointed to Mu Ningxue, who was behind Mu Zhuoyun.

"You have good talent," Xu Beichen said calmly.

At this point, Xu Beichen had roughly guessed what the old man was thinking.

"Hehe, in front of a peerless genius like Boss Xu, any other genius will pale in comparison."

Fan Ning smiled and offered a compliment, which was entirely sincere.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally tell that Xu Beichen's cultivation was close to the high-level perfection.

Reaching the high-level perfection at the age of twenty is completely unheard of; the Mu clan has never produced such an outstanding genius.

This further proves that demon flesh is helpful for cultivation!

"hehe."

Xu Beichen smiled coldly. If he hadn't been eating soul beast meat for a long time, his talent would be far inferior to Mu Ningxue's.

Soul beast meat has no side effects, and unlike the Star River Vein and Star Sea Heavenly Vein, the effects are greatly reduced with the second serving.

The longer you consume it, the more obvious the effects will be; it's a cumulative process.

Of course, even a semi-forbidden spellcaster like Pang Lai would experience noticeable effects from consuming the meat of a 100,000-year-old soul beast like the Azure Bull Python.

However, whether one can break through to the forbidden spell depends on one's own comprehension and luck.

After all, this energy is not as vast as the Earth Core, which could directly feed a peak-level super-class mage into a forbidden spell.

"Uncle Mu, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave now."

Xu Beichen came here to have dinner with Mu Ningxue, not to see some old geezer.

Since this old bastard Fan Ning was here, Xu Beichen had no desire to stay for dinner.

"North Star."

Mu Zhuoyun, who had not been given a chance to speak until now, was about to reply, but after thinking about it, he nodded instead.

"Boss Xu, why don't you let Mu Ningxue take care of your daily life?"

Just as Xu Beichen was about to leave, Fan Ning made a startling statement.

"What?"

Xu Beichen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fan Ning with some disbelief.

Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue both showed expressions of disbelief, clearly not expecting this situation.

Doesn't this treat Mu Ningxue as a commodity to be traded?

Mu Zhuoyun still harbored a sliver of hope for the Mu family, but at this moment, his heart was ice-cold.

Although he planned to arrange a marriage with the Zhou family, this would at least give Mu Ningxue a proper status.

Fan Ning's words clearly implied that he regarded Mu Ningxue as a maid, or even less than a maid.

Mu Ningxue had already guessed something, but when she heard these words, her delicate body trembled involuntarily.

In fact, compared to Zhou Youhong of the Zhou family, Mu Ningxue would naturally prefer to accept Xu Beichen, who is outstanding in both talent and appearance.

But unexpectedly

Seeing Mu Ningxue's reaction, a hint of pity flashed in Xu Beichen's eyes.

So-called love at first sight is just lust. How can there be any feelings after only meeting twice?

Xu Beichen was actually quite superficial; he was attracted to Mu Ningxue's fair skin and delicate bones, but at this moment, he still felt a little reluctant to do so.

Having been in this world for several years, Xu Beichen's mindset has already subtly changed.

At least I didn't have the overwhelming sense of emptiness I felt when I first transmigrated.

"That won't be necessary, I don't need it," Xu Beichen said.

Why?

Fan Ning was stunned; this was completely beyond his expectations.

With Mu Ningxue's unparalleled beauty and icy temperament, it's unbelievable that anyone would refuse her.

"Literal meaning."

Xu Beichen had thought it over carefully. Even if he accepted Mu Ningxue now, he would still need to find her another place to live.

Moreover, if Mu Ningxue went to Shanghai with her, it would definitely affect her studies, and she might even lose the chance to join the National Team.

If all he wanted was a silver-haired maid, Xu Beichen could accept it without any qualms.

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

But he doesn't lack anything; he can summon the Snow Empress later.

Xu Beichen didn't linger; he glanced at Mu Ningxue a few times before turning and leaving.

Watching Xu Beichen's retreating figure, Mu Ningxue's beautiful eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions, mainly gratitude, but also a hint of doubt and shock.

Over the next two days, Xu Beichen made a pot of snake soup for each of the family heads, earning 200,000 points in just two days!

Points: 1248573

"1.2 million points, still 800,000 points short."

A sub-emperor-level soul beast requires two million points, but Xu Beichen doesn't want to exchange for a soul beast of that level.

Di Tian is currently an invincible monarch-level being, and perhaps in less than a year, he will be able to transform into a sub-emperor-level being.

Compared to the sub-emperor level, Xu Beichen would prefer to exchange for the Silver Dragon King, which is worth 30 million.

Other Lesser Emperor-level Soul Beasts require between ten million and twenty million points, while summoning the Silver Dragon King requires at least thirty million points.

Although we are still far from reaching 30 million points, having the points saved can help us avoid some unexpected situations. With Emperor Tian's protection, that's enough for now.

"Are you going back to Shanghai?"

In the hall of the magic palace, Pang Lai, who was noticeably younger, looked at Xu Beichen and spoke.

"Yes, I booked a plane ticket for this afternoon," Xu Beichen said.

"If you're willing to stay in the capital, I can offer you some assistance with whatever you want to do in the future," Pang Lai said.

In Pang Lai's view, staying in the capital was much better than staying in Shanghai, since there were far more powerful families there than in Shanghai.

"No need. I'm definitely going back to Shanghai. Staying in the capital for this many days is already my limit."

Xu Beichen's tone was very resolute. He was already close to the peak of the high-level stage, and after a period of consolidation, he could look for an opportunity to break through to the super-level stage.

Once he reaches the Super Rank, his strength will surely increase dramatically once again.

Although he had Di Tian as his bodyguard, Xu Beichen still wanted to improve his own strength.

"Is this your master's requirement?"

Pang Lai was surprised by Xu Beichen's insistence on returning to Shanghai and asked blankly.

"I guess so," Xu Beichen replied evasively.

He and Xin Xia were both studying at Mingzhu Academy, so it was impossible for them to stay in the capital forever.

The power dynamics in the capital are complex and intertwined; who knows what kind of bad intentions some people might have?

Although they have the protection of the Emperor, it is impossible to guard against poisoning or curses!

If he had indeed been poisoned, then Xu Beichen would have no choice but to summon Bi Ji.
