Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 128 Controlling Zhao Youqian, Nan Rongni's Choice
"Sorry to keep you waiting. There was a minor incident at the auction, which caused the delay."

After a long while, Zhao Youqian finally arrived and immediately apologized to Zhou Haoyu.

Zhou Haoyu naturally knew what the incident was about; it was nothing more than the theft of the guilty stone.

Zhao Youqian certainly never imagined that the thief was right in front of him.

"It's alright, we've already chosen our soul seed. When will the auction begin?"

Zhou Haoyu returned the auction list to Zhao Youqian.

"Which soul seed do you want? I can sell it to you at market price."

Zhao Youqian glanced at the list first, then smiled and said.

Generally speaking, the price of a Soul Seed sold at an auction is usually a little higher than the market price, but not by much.

Zhao Youqian is considered a high-ranking manager in this auction, but as for the shareholders, they wouldn't concern themselves with such a trivial matter.

"Flowing Mist Weaves the Soul".

"Oh, let me see. If you really want it, you can just take it for 1.2 billion."

Zhao Youqian thought for a moment and then offered a very reasonable price.

"1.2 billion"

Zhou Haoyu was somewhat surprised, as he had estimated it to be at least 1.3 billion.

However, Zhou Haoyu knew very well why Zhao Youqian did this; he simply wanted to befriend him.

At least in the future, after the brothers break up, Zhou Haoyu will not choose to help Zhao Manyan to deal with him.

Just as Zhou Haoyu was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, I can help you inherit the Zhao family name legitimately."

"what?"

Zhao Youqian was stunned for a moment. Had this topic gone a little too far off track?

Besides, you're just a scion of a prominent family, what makes you think you can help me inherit the family business?
"I have one condition: you must guarantee that you will not harm Zhao Manyan."

Zhou Haoyu solemnly stated that he did this mainly for Zhao Youqian's treasure chest.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhao Manyan, he had no interest in inheriting the Zhao family business.

Zhao Youqian looked at Zhou Haoyu intently for a few moments. Could this guy really have a way?
If one can rightfully inherit the family business, that would naturally be the best outcome.

"Hehe, he's my brother, how could I possibly harm him?"

Zhao Youqian gave a forced smile. He did feel some jealousy and disgust towards Zhao Manyan, but it hadn't reached the point of wanting to kill him.

Zhou Haoyu just smiled, then reached out and pressed his hand on Zhao Youqian's forehead.

Zhao Youqian felt an energy surge into his body from between his eyebrows, eventually converging in his spiritual world.

Unlike the desolation of the past, the spiritual universe now contains a shadow-type stardust.

The Shadow element originates from the Dark Dimension, and Zhou Haoyu possesses fragments of the Dark Laws, so he can naturally help others awaken the Shadow element!
"Have I awakened?"

Zhao Youqian was utterly shocked, and even seemed to be in a daze.

For so many years, he had resigned himself to his fate, never expecting that he would awaken the magic system today.

"Although it may be a little difficult for you to catch up with Zhao Manyan, reaching a high level of cultivation is not a problem."

Zhou Haoyu spoke up.

With the blessing of the origin of the Dark Laws, Zhao Youqian's Shadow-type talent will far surpass that of ordinary people, and it will not be difficult for him to cultivate to a high level in two or three years.

But this is not permanent; Zhou Haoyu can strip him of his stardust at any time.

"how did you do that?"

Zhao Youqian looked at Zhou Haoyu in disbelief. He had never heard of such a method before; it was as if it were divine intervention!
"That's not important. Just remember the conditions I told you, or I might take them back at any time."

Zhou Haoyu said calmly. Hearing this, Zhao Youqian felt a chill run down his spine. He had finally become a mage, and he didn't want to become an ordinary person again.

"Brother Zhou, consider this soul seed a gift from me, no need to pay."

Zhao Youqian said, almost obsequiously.

With the identity of a monk, he could indeed rightfully inherit the family business.

As for how he awakened, any excuse will do.

"Then I'll accept it."

Zhou Haoyu did not reject Zhao Youqian's flattery, as he would need to cooperate with Zhao Youqian in the future.

Since they plan to establish influence in Shanghai, having the Zhao family's help will definitely make things much easier.

Most importantly, he held Zhao Youqian's life in his hands, so he didn't have to worry about being betrayed.

After leaving the auction venue, Mu Ningxue looked at Zhou Haoyu with a complicated expression.

She thought she knew Zhou Haoyu well enough, but she never expected that there would be another layer after peeling back one layer.

However, Zhou Haoyu never avoided her, and even took the initiative to reveal the identity of the ancient king.

The three of them found a hotel nearby. There weren't many tourists in Venice at the moment, so it was relatively easy to find a hotel with vacancies.

"Xue'er, absorb the soul seed first."

Zhou Haoyu handed the Soul Seed to Mu Ningxue and said.

Mu Ningxue's strength is already comparable to Ai Jiangtu's. If she absorbs another soul seed, her strength will definitely increase by several levels.

Looking at the soul seed in her hand, Mu Ningxue nodded seriously.

Next, Mu Ningxue began to absorb the soul seed, while Zhou Haoyu watched from the side.

Absorbing a soul seed doesn't take much time, especially since Mu Ningxue already possessed a soul seed, and she completed the absorption in just a few minutes.

Mu Ningxue slowly opened her eyes, a rare smile appearing on her usually icy face.

"husband."

"Just one 'husband'?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Mu Ningxue's eyes, but she quickly made up her mind and pounced on Zhou Haoyu on the bed.

Then I started to undress. Since it was the first time I had taken the initiative to undress, I seemed a little flustered.

Seeing that she hadn't untied it yet, Zhou Haoyu was speechless and whispered a few words in her ear.

In an instant, Mu Ningxue's face flushed pink, and even her long, swan-like neck appeared pink.

However, Mu Ningxue did not refuse. Instead, she gently hummed in agreement and obediently went to the door, leaning forward in a gesture.

Seeing the exhilarating scene before him, Zhou Haoyu rushed forward without saying a word.

"Mu Tingying, where is Mu Ningxue now?"

On the sparsely populated riverbank, Pan Xi looked at Mu Tingying and asked her a question.

Besides Panxi and Mu Tingying, Mu Tingying's father and several Mu family monks were also present.

"He's definitely with the captain. If you want to make a move against her, you'd better wait until the captain isn't around."

As Mu Tingying said this, a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes.

If it weren't for Mu Ningxue, she should be the one by Zhou Haoyu's side right now.

Pan Xi looked surprised. Didn't Mu Tingying used to hate Mu Ningxue so much?

She still doesn't like him now, but she's more like a jealous woman who's eyeing other women's husbands.
"Do you know why Nan Rongni refused to become the next wielder of the Ice Crystal Bow?" Pan Xi asked.

"You'll have to ask the captain, provided you can beat him."
