However, she also knew that she had been deceiving herself all along.

Moreover, Liu Ru also said that as an ordinary person, being able to follow a magician, especially a young and powerful one, is already very lucky.

Most importantly, Cao Le gave them a sense of security.

Just like the villa we live in now, it's named after Liu Xian.

Besides, she's given everything to Cao Le, so why would she need her own life?

As long as the master is chosen well, there's nothing wrong with being a kept woman.

Liu Xian was unable to refute this...

Thinking back to the conversation this morning...

In particular, Liu Ru said to her: Sister, you don't think that just because it's you, he will still remember you, do you?

"I didn't... I just don't want you to end up like me..."

"But sister, have you ever thought that he can let me be as willful as he wants, but that's because I belong to him. But what if we cross that line you mentioned? Have you thought about that?"

"..."

Liu Xian also knew that she was just an ordinary woman.

Compared to those magicians, she was far, far inferior.

The tenderness I give to Cao Le will eventually become tiresome.

Moreover, Liu Ru was right. From the beginning, Cao Le probably never intended to let the two of them go.

But thinking about my life now, I should actually be content...

...

This is why Liu Xian didn't interrupt when Liu Ru was driving, and why she never stopped when she was driving herself.

They were just two ordinary people.

Cao Le gave them a life that most ordinary people cannot enjoy.

It also gave them comfort...

There's no such thing as a free lunch, and no one is obligated to be kind to anyone else. And they themselves know what they can give back in return.

"Shall I take you to the night market, and then catch a midnight movie?" Cao Le asked Liu Ru.

"No sincerity~ Humph!"

"Then I'll spend another day shopping with you tomorrow."

He felt somewhat helpless about this.

But thinking about how well-behaved the two sisters had been just now, he felt that he should spend more time with them.

"That's more like it." Liu Ru smiled with satisfaction after hearing Cao Le's words.

Liu Xian, who usually stops Liu Ru from being so immature, is now sitting in the back seat, smiling at them without saying a word.

Cao Le was very puzzled...

He was still waiting for "Liu Xian" to say: "Your brother-in-law is very busy, Ruru, don't be silly..."

She wanted to say something, but she just wouldn't!

There was no other way, Cao Le felt that he had to stay with her.

Liu Xian's mindset has changed, and she now understands that women who know how to be charming and coquettish are rewarded.

Moreover, she wasn't truly independent of Cao Le.

From the moment Cao Le saved her, she actually had a good impression of him.

So, rather than being kept, she was extremely content because it gave her the illusion of being in love...

She just didn't want Liu Ru to get involved, which is why she learned not to bother Cao Le.

Even if Cao Le came, ate, and left, she wouldn't say anything...

But now, things are naturally different. What girl wouldn't like her "boyfriend" to spend more time with her?

...

322. Assaulting the assessment committee member

Back at his lodgings, Cao Le realized that Liu Xian had truly changed; in just one day, she seemed like someone he didn't recognize.

Her sudden change...

Um...

That's absolutely brilliant!

(?ω?)

It made Cao Le seem to think that the saying "a haven of gentle pleasures, a graveyard for heroes" wasn't entirely without reason...

At least, Mu Ningxue certainly doesn't have that much gentleness.

Mu Nujiao is gentle, but she never cooperates.

Mochizuki Senka?

Okay, she always projects the image of being the queen of the jungle...

Xinxia is obedient and gentle.

Unfortunately, sometimes when someone is stubborn, there's no room for exceptions.

Tang Yue...

He's my own teacher now.

Anything that shouldn't be in textbooks will be attacked!

...

Thinking about it, Cao Le realized that he could actually stay here for a few more days.

But as luck would have it, Mu Ningxue called...

It seems there's some trouble going on locally.

He had no choice but to leave reluctantly...

...

Outside the Shanghai train station.

When Mu Ningxue arrived, Cao Le gave her a hug. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen this little girl since the end of the National Academy.

In the midst of the bustling street, she was suddenly embraced. Even though Mu Ningxue was usually very composed, she still blushed with embarrassment.

However, being clever, she knew that if she said something like, "Let go, there are too many people,"...

It's likely to only trigger someone's peculiar fetish!

So she chose to remain silent.

"Crack~"

Cao Le slapped her lightly, somewhat displeased: "You'll miss out on a lot of happiness if you do this."

Mu Ningxue gave Cao Le a reproachful look before mouthing, "13 attitudes."

"Tell me, what trouble have you run into?"

He didn't seem to care.

“I just bought a piece of land. The Magic Association assessed the land and concluded that it was not suitable for clan private use,” Mu Ningxue said truthfully.

A clan must own land. Owning several houses in the city is just being nouveau riche and cannot be called a magical clan, much less a noble family.

"Someone deliberately obstructed and concealed information from us. I didn't know the Magic Association had a gray-area assessment of this land before I bought it. The land wasn't expensive; that's all the funds we have right now. Actually, this land is quite good in every aspect. If we can resolve the assessment issue, its value far exceeds the money I spent at the auction, and it's also very suitable for our future development..."

After listening to Mu Ningxue's general account, Cao Le said, "Then let's go to the Magic Association."

"Well, if this land is really dangerous, then forget it," Mu Ningxue nodded.

"With me here, what danger could there be? Even if it's a demon's lair, I can snatch it away for you," Cao Le said with a smile.

Mu Ningxue did not respond to this.

The two quickly arrived at the Oriental Pearl Tower and ascended straight to the upper sphere... Valley

However, they were not immediately received upon arrival, even though there were hardly any people around.

Cao Le was about to kick the door open, go in, drag the guy out, and beat him up.

It was Mu Ningxue who managed to calm her down...

After a long time, a chubby middle-aged man finally walked over with a smile, saying apologetically, "I'm very sorry, but I have a meeting I can't leave. It's like this, I've looked at your land, and it really can't be used for residential purposes, especially since you applied for a residentship of 300 people. 300 people is equivalent to a village. To reach the safety level of a village, it's not enough to just be within the safe zone; we also need to ensure the distribution of demons within 100 kilometers outside the safe zone."

"I'll give you one chance to rephrase your words, or I'll make you regret ever being born," Cao Le said, looking at the fat man who had just emerged.

As he spoke, a ghostly figure appeared behind Cao Le.

However, this only applies to fat people; others cannot see it.

"Hiss~ Help... Help! Someone's causing trouble!" The fat man plopped down on the ground and shouted urgently.

Mu Ningxue was about to say something when Cao Le stopped her.

"You're fucking asking for death, call your guild leader out here." Although he knew there were several large Buddha statues at the Oriental Pearl Tower.

But just because of the people sitting in that bastard's room, he's in the right!

Moreover, he can always keep himself safe on this land.

To come up with this illogical argument is just asking for a beating.

The several monks who came over were stunned when they heard what Cao Le said.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone with such a bad temper at the Mage's Association.

While they were hesitating, Cao Le had already started punching the middle-aged fat man hard.
