Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 148 The Flame Princess's Trail
this moment.

Hearing the noise, Zhao Manyan turned around, saw Fang Yu arrive, and greeted him.

He immediately turned his head and continued to admire the beautiful scenery. He saw a top-notch guy and put his brother's matter aside for the moment.

"You do know how to enjoy it."

Fang Yu sat opposite Lao Zhao, looking at the scenery outside the window. He had to admit, the location was excellent. The beautiful scenery of the old street was on full display. Looking down from above, the white expanse was clearly visible, and it was easy to tell whether it was made of real materials.

“Of course, it’s the best place to observe the prey,” Zhao Manyan said.

"You're quite proud of yourself," Fang Yu said disdainfully.

"By the way, you can unravel the things you wanted yourself." Zhao Manyan took out more than twenty "Secret Scrolls" from his spatial ring. A few were light blue, but most were more expensive silver and gold.

Secret Scroll!

Within the Hunter's Alliance, most of the bounties that are published have accurate sources. The person who posts the bounty also needs to provide a guarantee and commission to the Hunter's Alliance so that the hunters who go there will not be disappointed.

In reality, what people obtain while wandering in the wild is often just a whimper. Such information is naturally not valid enough to warrant a reward. So, people would write down the valuable but uncertain information they had obtained on scrolls and sell them at a certain price.

Much of the information may be fabricated, but after reasonable screening, and also in order to sell their secret scrolls at high prices, most monks selling secret scrolls will try their best to reveal the truth. After all, the higher the rate of false information, the cheaper the secret scrolls that the monk sells will be. If the price is ridiculously low, the monk's qualification as a secret scroll master will be revoked at the auction.

The title of "Master of Secrets" requires one to be at least a high-level hunter, with most being hunter masters and quite a few being hunter kings.

The scrolls that Zhao Manyan took out were obtained by helping Fang Yu win bids at his own auction house.

"Thanks," Fang Yu said.

"You're too kind. By the way, you've collected all the secret scrolls related to the northern corner of Zhuoyuan in the Dunhuang area. What are you planning to do with them?" Zhao Manyan asked suspiciously.

"I received news that within the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, Yanji shows signs of giving birth to new life," Fang Yu said slowly.

"Holy crap, where did you get this information from?!"

"The Flame Princess is the rarest of the elemental demons, and her value is immeasurable."

"I didn't expect you to know its whereabouts. If you actually find it and successfully form a contract with it, your combat power at that time will be... wow." Zhao Manyan said with a hint of envy.

"Don't be so sour. If you awaken a summoning ability at a high level, and gather the power of your Zhao clan, you won't have to worry about not finding elemental pets that match your magic," Fang Yu said.

"Me? Sigh, never mind," Zhao Manyan sighed.

His magical awakening leaned more towards defense, so he didn't have high expectations for it.

Fang Yu unwrapped the exquisite "Secret Scroll" and looked at it for a while...

From the Secret Scroll, Fang Yu also learned about the situation in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, the range of Yan Ji's activities, her location, route, and dangers, so it was almost time to set off.

The Secret Scroll comes with a lot of extra information, and going to the North Corner of Zhuoyuan can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

In the northern corner of Zhuoyuan, it is so difficult for humans to walk without some special skills that Fang Yu spent a lot of money to investigate.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery, Zhao Manyan saw that Fang Yu had also finished reading the information, and quickly greeted Fang Yu warmly: "Alright, business is done, let's order. I'm not good at fighting, but that's my forte. I'm going to beat you up today."

"Boss, bring out the food. By the way, Lao Lin, what would you like to drink?" Zhao Manyan chuckled, as if drinking was his real purpose for coming today.

"Whatever," Fang Yu said.

Two hours later, Fang Yu shook his slightly tipsy head. He had been forced to drink alcohol. Zhao Manyan had been provoked by Xiao Yanji's incident today, and had been drinking one glass of wine after another.

Fang Yu turned to look at Zhao Manyan, who was already drunk, and called over a waiter to send him to the hotel.

Fang Yu left alone.

He went to a teahouse to sober up.

While you're at it, continue to admire the group of beautifully dressed women on the street.

At this moment, Mu Nujiao was strolling along the dimly lit streets of Shanghai when she happened to spot Fang Yu in a teahouse.

A slight smile played on her lips; she seemed a little surprised that they would meet in this place.

Some time later, Fang Yu, who was admiring the beautiful scenery, did not notice that a beautiful figure had already stood behind him.

"Senior Fang, is it good-looking?" Mu Nujiao teased.

"He's good-looking, but he's covered up too much, sigh," Fang Yu replied.

However, he sensed something was wrong and suddenly realized someone was talking. He turned around and saw Mu Nujiao, and smiled awkwardly.

For some reason, he had a guilty conscience.

Perhaps that's the aura of a beautiful woman. After all, it would be embarrassing to be caught having impure thoughts about her!
“Senior Fang, we meet again,” Mu Nujiao said.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

"Sit down, sit down." Fang Yu observed Mu Nujiao.

Today, she wore a snow-white dress and looked ethereal.

She sat gracefully on the other side, poured out the tea leaves, brewed a fresh batch, and replaced Fang Yu's cup of tea, which had already gone cold.

Fang Yu noticed Mu Nujiao's subtle actions.

sigh!

Whoever marries this girl will surely be very happy. She is elegant and kind, beautiful and charming yet dignified and virtuous.

"Senior Fang, actually I should thank you!" Mu Nujiao poured herself a glass and took a small sip.

"Thank me for what?" Fang Yu looked at the well-bred young lady Mu Nujiao, somewhat confused by her words.

“The resources you traded to the family last time have been absorbed by me, which has greatly improved my strength,” Mu Nujiao explained.

Fang Yu then realized that when he returned from the wilderness last time, he had used some surplus resources to exchange with the Mu family, but he didn't expect the Mu family to directly absorb them.

"Congratulations," Fang Yu said.

"Gurgle~~~~~"

After a while, just as Fang Yu was about to have a lively conversation with Mu Nujiao, he heard a lovely voice coming from Mu Nujiao's belly.

The voice was very soft, but Fang Yu's hearing was excellent. He glanced at Mu Nujiao, whose cheeks were flushed, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. You've kept me company for so long, I've kept you from eating."

"Okay," Mu Nujiao whispered, her cheeks flushed.

……

After dinner, Fang Yu sent Mu Nujiao back home, and then it was time to prepare for the events at Zhuoyuan North Corner.
