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

Chapter 155 Zhao Yuzheng, a Special Undead (Revised)
After a month of seclusion, Zhou Haoyu finally stabilized his energy at just over twice its normal level.

If it were the goddess who cast the spell, he might be able to stabilize the energy at 2.5 times.

However, a permanent increase of 2x is enough; all that's needed later is to further enhance the power of the Xuan Gang Yang Lei.

Two days later, the others also emerged from the pass.

"Xue'er, how much did you boost your ice element?"

As soon as Mu Ningxue emerged from seclusion, Zhou Haoyu went up to her and asked.

Looking at Zhou Haoyu in front of her, Mu Ningxue smiled faintly.

"The increase is almost double, thanks to the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow you gave me."

The unexpectedly high increase made Mu Ningxue unable to contain her excitement, and she even kissed Zhou Haoyu.

Zhou Haoyu naturally returned the favor a hundredfold, grabbing her slender waist and starting to kiss her wildly.

After a long while, Mu Ningxue took a few breaths and gave Zhou Haoyu a coquettish glare.

"Has Mu Nujiao not come out of seclusion yet?" Mu Ningxue suddenly asked.

Over this period of time, Mu Ningxue has come to accept Mu Nujiao, since she couldn't handle it all by herself.

"Jiaojiao was released from quarantine yesterday, but she had other things to do, so she returned to China ahead of schedule."

Zhou Haoyu originally wanted Mu Nujiao to stay with him, but Mu Nujiao insisted on returning to China.

It must be a marriage alliance between the Zhou family and the Mu family. Zhou Haoyu has already sent a message to his father about this.

Zhou Haoyu doesn't care about a B-grade fire vein at all, and he doesn't care about having another partner.

Besides this B-grade fire vein, there is a large crystal vein near Asuka City, and a pentagram thunderstone mine at the summit of the Andes Mountains.

As long as these two mines are in our hands, the Zhou family can be developed into a powerful clan in no time.

"And what about Nan Jue?"

Mu Ningxue looked at Zhou Haoyu with her icy eyes, her expression carrying a hidden meaning.

"Uh~~"

Zhou Haoyu was speechless. As expected, he couldn't hide it from his first wife.

"By the way, Dad messaged me. He said he's acquired the land we were looking at before, and construction is underway now."

Zhou Haoyu changed the subject, saying that the simplest way to acquire that large crystal mine was to buy the land.

Once the new city is built, mining can begin.

Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at him and didn't ask any more questions about Nan Jue.

“I’m also preparing to go back to China. What about you?” Mu Ningxue asked.

Zhou Haoyu really wanted to accompany Mu Ningxue back to China, so they could do other things along the way.

However, he also had to help Zhao Youqian take control of the Zhao family.

The sooner Zhao Youqian takes control of the Zhao family, the more advantageous it will be for the Zhou family.

After resolving this matter, he will need to return to the Parthenon.

In the past few days, he had tried to find Izusa's body, but he hadn't found anything and had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Besides preventing Izusa's resurrection, there are a series of other issues that need to be addressed.

"I have some other things to take care of, I'll go back to China after I've finished taking care of them," Zhou Haoyu said.

Although Mu Ningxue was a little confused, she nodded and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhou Haoyu didn't say anything about parting, but just hugged her and kissed her wildly until she couldn't breathe.

Mu Ningxue glared at Zhou Haoyu with resentment, then turned and left.

After parting ways with Mu Ningxue, Zhou Haoyu immediately contacted Zhao Youqian.

"Brother Zhou, how are things going on your end?"

"It's over. Where is your father now?"

"Dad?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Youqian looked puzzled. Why was he calling his father all of a sudden?

By the way, Zhou Haoyu mentioned before that he would help him inherit the Zhao family business. "My father is currently receiving treatment in the hospital."

"Which hospital? Send me the address."

After leaving the Parthenon, Zhou Haoyu immediately took a plane to the location Zhao Youqian had mentioned.

The hospital is located in New York, USA, and Zhou Haoyu never expected to return to the city so soon.

Upon arriving outside the hospital, Zhou Haoyu quickly spotted Zhao Youqian, who was wearing slippers and shorts.

Seeing this guy's outfit, Zhou Haoyu's lips twitched.

I could understand dressing like this in Venice, but wearing this outside a hospital, aren't you afraid of getting kicked out?

No, the Zhao family might own shares in this hospital.

As long as Zhao Youqian reveals his identity, no one should dare to kick him out.

"Brother Zhou, it's been a long time."

Zhao Youqian quickly stepped forward, wanting to hug Zhou Haoyu, but Zhou Haoyu refused.

"Lead the way."

Zhou Haoyu had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with him and said indifferently.

Zhao Youqian shrugged and obediently walked ahead to lead the way for Zhou Haoyu.

The two walked around in circles and finally arrived at a VIP ward. A row of men in black suits stood outside, presumably bodyguards.

Zhou Haoyu quickly scanned the group; these men in suits were mostly high-level mages, with the leader being a super-level mage.

This lineup is already quite luxurious for bodyguards.

An elderly man was standing outside the ward. Zhao Youqian stepped forward and said, "Uncle Qing, this Brother Zhou is the expert I invited."

"Expert?"

The old man, known as Uncle Qing, glanced at Zhou Haoyu. He was too young. How dare someone his age call himself a master?
"Kid, are you a healing mage?"

Uncle Qing asked in an interrogative tone.

Zhou Haoyu glanced at him coldly, thinking how an ordinary person with no cultivation dared to speak to him like that.

With a thought, the old man was sent flying backward.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguards who had been standing motionless immediately surrounded Zhou Haoyu without saying a word.

Zhao Youqian's lips twitched. This guy has too much of a temper.

“I told you, Brother Zhou is my friend. Who dares to lay a hand on him?” Zhao Youqian interjected, stopping the attack.

The bodyguards looked at each other, but none of them dared to make a move; only the head bodyguard stepped forward.

"Young Master, this man is too dangerous. Please take him away from here."

Zhao Youqian's expression turned somewhat ugly. This guy dared to speak to him like that, relying on his superior cultivation level.

Zhou Haoyu was too lazy to argue with them and simply teleported into the ward.

There was only one bed in the ward, on which lay a pale-faced man, accompanied by a still attractive woman.

Bai Miaoying looked at Zhou Haoyu, who had suddenly appeared, with a surprised expression. "Who are you?"

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm."

Zhou Haoyu smiled slightly, a smile that immediately put Bai Miaoying at ease.

But the next moment, Zhou Haoyu raised his right index finger and aimed it at Zhao Yuzheng on the hospital bed, with strands of white-gold lightning dancing on his fingertip.

Just as Bai Miaoying was about to say something, a bolt of lightning flashed and instantly pierced through Zhao Yuzheng's neck.

"This"

Bai Miaoying's pupils contracted as she stared at the bloodstains on the hospital bed, her whole being becoming dazed.

But a second later, a dark aura enveloped Zhao Yuzheng.

"Am I dead?"

Not long after, Zhao Yuzheng opened his eyes and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his body, with no more pain or suffering.
