Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 204 Yu Shishi's nickname is Jingxiang!

Inside the dean's office at the prestigious Shanghai University.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the antique bookshelves in a warm golden hue.

Dean Xiao put down the report in his hand, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Wang Feng with slight surprise: "Oh? Cao Qinqin wants to learn the Water Circulation Array?"

“Hmm.” Wang Feng stood by the window, the sunlight outlining his tall and straight figure. “She has quite a talent; she should be able to perfectly apply her master’s masterpiece to practice.”

Dean Xiao suddenly laughed, tapping his finger lightly on the table: "You wouldn't be thinking of using the Water Circulation Array in Flying Bird City, would you?"

Wang Feng nodded readily, a smile playing on his lips: "Of course. What, Master, are you reluctant to part with your masterpiece?"

"No, that's not it." Dean Xiao shook his head, gazing out the window into the distance.

His original intention in developing the water circulation array was to benefit mankind.

As long as there is a sufficient water source, this formation can transform water-based magical energy into a protective barrier that is inexhaustible, greatly saving mages' magical energy consumption and resource investment.

Asuka City's geographical location is exceptionally advantageous—it is situated near the sea and has abundant aquatic elements, making it an ideal place to practice this formation.

"Then let Cao Qinqin be my student," Dean Xiao finally decided. "She will learn the Water Circulation Array."

Wang Feng's smile deepened: "I think she will be very happy."

Dean Xiao's gaze lingered on Wang Feng for a moment before he suddenly suggested, "Wang Feng, why don't you take on a professorship at the university?"

Wang Feng's expression immediately turned strange: "Master, I don't have time to teach my students."

“You don’t need to teach,” Dean Xiao smiled like an old fox, “you can just hold the title.”

Wang Feng shrugged helplessly: "Fine, as long as I don't have to teach, I don't care what title I'm given."

"Then I'll submit the application to the school committee right away." Dean Xiao stroked his beard with satisfaction, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Wang Feng always felt that his master had ulterior motives, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Wang Feng said.

“Go ahead,” Dean Xiao said, his smile fading and his expression suddenly turning serious. “Contact me anytime if you need anything. If there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know.”

As Wang Feng's mentor, he had already heard about the controversy surrounding the Parthenon.

Although the three forbidden spells may not be enough in the face of the Holy City, they represent an attitude!

"Thank you, Master." Wang Feng smiled knowingly and did not refuse the token of his appreciation.

Although the angels of the Holy City are unlikely to dare to attack him, it's always better to be cautious.

After all, didn't that Remiel secretly investigate his background?
……

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the apartment in Shanghai, bathing the living room in a warm golden hue.

When Wang Feng pushed open the door, Mu Nujiao was just putting the last dish on the table.

"You're back?" She looked up and smiled, her long, smooth hair swaying gently over her shoulders. "Wash your hands and let's eat."

Wang Feng's gaze swept over the two sets of bowls and chopsticks neatly arranged on the table, and he asked with some confusion, "Where's Rabbit?"

"She left a message and went back to the Ai family yesterday." Mu Nujiao handed over the bowl of rice. "She said she went to pick up something and won't be back for a few days."

The simple home-style dishes exude an enticing aroma.

Wang Feng picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and suddenly felt that the plain taste was particularly warm and delicious.

After the meal, watching Mu Nujiao skillfully clear the dishes, Wang Feng suddenly asked, "Jiaojiao, what are your plans after graduation?"

"I," Mu Nujiao paused, almost blurting out the words "bride's cultivation."

Her ears turned slightly red, and she quickly corrected herself: "I plan to enter the education system and want to become a teacher."

Wang Feng nodded thoughtfully. In the original timeline, Mu Nujiao followed this path and eventually became a member of the board of directors of Mingzhu Academy.

“It’s definitely a great choice.” Wang Feng’s eyes showed approval, and a gentle smile played on his lips. “Right?” Mu Nujiao’s eyes crinkled, and a hint of smugness appeared on her face.

This decision was made after careful consideration.

She knew very well that although her magical talent was outstanding, it was still slightly inferior to monstrous geniuses like Wang Feng and Mu Ningxue.

In addition, her magic combination is not particularly ideal. Rather than struggling to catch up on the path of cultivation, it would be better to switch to a different path in time.

More importantly, this choice might allow her to stand by Wang Feng's side in another way.

Cultivating outstanding talents to build up strength for his family might be a more suitable path for her.

As for the Mu family over the years, the honors and prestige she has won for the Mu family in major world competitions have long since repaid the family's kindness in nurturing them.

Now, she can pursue her life with peace of mind.

“Jiaojiao, it seems like it’s been a long time since we had a private chat,” Wang Feng suddenly said.

Mu Nujiao's ears instantly flushed crimson, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes: "I just... I just finished eating. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Wang Feng chuckled and suddenly pulled her into his arms: "Exercising after a meal helps with digestion!"

"ah!"

Mu Nujiao let out a soft cry as she fell into his warm embrace.

……

The next morning.

Wang Feng brought Lingling and Ding Yumin back to Flying Bird City. After briefly introducing them to Qin Yu'er and Aili, he went to Twin Mountain alone.

The Twin Peaks, which were once overgrown with weeds, have now been completely transformed.

Large tracts of wasteland have been cleared away and replaced by rows of tender green mulberry seedlings.

Swarms of blue moths danced in the morning light, adding a touch of vitality to this newly grown woodland.

“Not bad,” Wang Feng said, stroking his chin with satisfaction as he walked along the newly built path to the mountaintop. “To be able to transform it like this in just two days, it seems you have a talent for civil engineering.”

Upon reaching the summit, a clear pool of water comes into view.

The pond is surrounded by a variety of flowers, their fragrance filling the air.

An exquisite wooden house is built by the water, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural scenery.

By the pool, a graceful figure is bathing in the morning light.

Water droplets slid down her fair skin, sparkling in the sunlight.

Moths surrounded her, creating a scene resembling a beautiful painting.

Wang Feng: "..."

"Shouldn't this moth girl be renamed Shizuka? How come I always run into her taking a bath every time I come here?"

His appearance startled the moths around him, and the fluttering of their wings finally alerted Yu Shishi to something amiss.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze meeting Wang Feng's in mid-air.

Time seemed to freeze for five seconds—

"what!"

With a scream, Yu Shishi frantically tried to protect herself, then plunged into the pool with a "plop," leaving only half of her bright red face visible.

Ripples spread across the pool, startling the moths around them into flight.

"How did you get here?" Yu Shishi asked tremblingly.

P.S.: I'm heading to Kunlun tomorrow. Want to see a fox spirit? (chuckles)
