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

Chapter 16: Flame Scorpion Tiger Advances, Prepares to Go to Bo City
After buying the spirit seeds, Zhou Haoyu bought some fire-attribute resources at the nearby magic market.

Including the spiritual seeds, it took nearly 40 million to spend in just a short while.

The path of cultivation does not rely solely on talent; resources are even more important. Without sufficient resources, a genius will gradually become mediocre.

Even though the Zhou family put all their efforts into training Zhou Haoyu, they did not give him so many resources at once.

If it weren't for the forbidden spell-level forging skills, Zhou Haoyu would now be just a blood-sucking worm attached to his family.

Zhou Haoyu now only hopes that after the Flame Scorpion Tiger advances, the fire will become a little stronger, so that he can forge better magic tools.

After returning to his room, Zhou Haoyu couldn't wait to devour the Zixiao Spirit Seed with his Seed Devourer.

After absorbing it, Zhou Haoyu looked at the purple lightning arc jumping in his palm and said to himself, "Since the first spirit seed I absorbed was called Zixiao, then let's call it Zixiao now."

"The maximum increase in spiritual seeds is three times. Zixiao is not yet a large spiritual seed. I have to try swallowing another spiritual seed later. When I reach a high level, I can try swallowing a soul seed."

Zhou Haoyu already had an idea in his mind. With the forbidden spell-level forging skills, he would definitely not be short of money at the moment.

However, if the Zhou family wants to make further progress, it is better to take over the fire vein of Sun Ridge.

After absorbing the spirit seeds, Zhou Haoyu found an open space that night, summoned the Flame Scorpion Tiger, and threw all the fire-attribute resources in the space ring to it.

The Flame Scorpion Tiger had been stuck at a bottleneck for a while, and when it saw these fire-attribute resources, it swallowed them up without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Zhou Haoyu discovered that the Fire Scorpion Tiger had obviously grown larger. It was more than two meters long before, but now it was four meters long and more than two meters tall!
The scorpion's tail is like a long iron whip, and its sharp poisonous needles seem ready to take the lives of nearby creatures at any time.

"As expected of a high-blooded demon beast, the advancement process is surprisingly simple."

Zhou Haoyu patted the Flame Scorpion Tiger's shell and said with a smile, "This amount of resources is nothing. There will be more and more in the future."

"Hoohoo!"

Xiao Yan growled softly and lowered his head in a submissive manner.

"After a while, find some demons to test your strength." Zhou Haoyu soothed Xiao Yan's head.

According to the teacher's explanation, the Flame Scorpion Tiger has a high bloodline and can at least grow to the Grand Commander level.

Although it has just advanced to the general level, with its racial abilities, ordinary general-level monsters will not be its match.

"Aowu~" Xiao Yan suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

The next morning, after two hours of meditation, Zhou Haoyu went to the Mu family residence. When he opened the door, it was Mu Ningxue with silver hair.

"Ning Xue, I haven't seen you for a few days. Give me a hug."

Zhou Haoyu went up to her and hugged her without saying a word. Over this period of time, their relationship became more and more harmonious.

Before Mu Ningxue could say anything, Zhou Haoyu had already held her in his arms. Her figure became more and more graceful, and the parts that were about to be exposed became more and more soft.

"How's your training been these past few days?"

Mu Ningxue knew that Zhou Haoyu had entered the Haotian Tower for training. This was a precious place for training in the Imperial Capital Academy. Zhou Haoyu must have benefited a lot from it in the past few days.

"I was lucky enough to break through to the intermediate level in the summoning and thunder systems." Zhou Haoyu did not hide it.

Now with Pang Lai's support, Zhou Haoyu no longer has to be as timid as before and can appropriately reveal some of his talents.

"Already at the intermediate level?" Mu Ningxue's face finally showed some emotion, and her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Haoyu in shock.

Mu Ningxue believed that she had practiced very hard, but her wind element had not yet broken through to the intermediate level. She did not expect that Zhou Haoyu had broken through to the intermediate level in both elements.

This talent is indeed far superior to hers. "Thanks to this Haotian Tower, you will definitely be able to enjoy it in the future." Zhou Haoyu said with a smile.

At this time, Mu Zhuoyun walked over from the hall. When he saw Zhou Haoyu at the door, he immediately said, "My dear nephew, come in quickly."

"Ning Xue, you too, didn't even bother to invite your nephew into the house."

"Uncle, I was just talking to Ning Xue." Zhou Haoyu said with a smile.

Mu Zhuoyun invited Zhou Haoyu to sit on the sofa, then said with a serious expression, "My dear nephew, you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to tell you something."

"Uncle, please speak." Zhou Haoyu said immediately.

"I've already discussed this with Ning Xue. When Ning Xue comes of age, we'll set a date to marry you. What do you think?" Mu Zhuoyun said.

Mu Zhuoyun could see that Zhou Haoyu had great potential. He couldn't let such a rich son-in-law get away and had to get married as soon as possible.

This way, even if Zhou Haoyu gets involved with other women later, at least Mu Ningxue's status and position, as well as the interests of the Mu family, can be guaranteed.

"About this, uncle can discuss it with my father. I naturally have no objection." Zhou Haoyu said.

"Okay then. I'll discuss the time with Mr. Zhou after I return from Bo City." Mu Zhuoyun's smile never faded.

"Bo City."

Zhou Haoyu's brows furrowed. Ninety percent of the reason Mu Zhuoyun chose to return to Bo City at this time was for the magic duel between Mu Yuang and Mo Fan.

If it were just a magic duel, there would be nothing to worry about.

The most crucial thing is that just a few days after this magic duel, the Bo City catastrophe shocked the whole country!

There must be quite a few treasure chests in Bo City. After this catastrophe in Bo City, some of them may disappear.

"What's the matter, nephew? Are you interested in Bo City?" Mu Zhuoyun asked when he saw Zhou Haoyu's interested look.

“There is some interest.”

Zhou Haoyu nodded, then looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "Since this is where Ningxue grew up, why don't I go to Bo City with you? I don't have anything important to do lately."

After hearing these words, even Mu Ningxue, who was standing beside him, was stunned, and looked at Zhou Haoyu in disbelief with her beautiful eyes.

A young man from an aristocratic family who was born and raised in the imperial capital would actually be interested in a small border town.

Mu Zhuoyun was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled meaningfully. It was obvious that he had other intentions.

After the engagement, Zhou Haoyu still cares about Ning Xue from time to time. He is truly a rare and virtuous son-in-law.

"I don't have any objection, but it's about the Zhou family." Mu Zhuoyun really wanted to agree, but he didn't have the final say on the Zhou family's side.

"It's okay, I will tell my father the truth later." Zhou Haoyu said quickly.

Zhou Haoyu went to Bo City for two purposes. The first was to open the treasure chest, and the second was to declare sovereignty over Bo City as Mu Ningxue's fiancé.

As for the disaster in Bo City, Zhou Haoyu's mental power has greatly increased, and with some forged magic tools, he can even withstand the commanding-level demons.

Even if you can't win in the end, you can still get away with it.

"Then wait for Mr. Zhou's approval, and then my nephew will go to Bo City with us."
