Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 150 Declaration of sovereignty
Lingling tugged at Leng Qing's judge's robe sleeve, tilted her little face up, and asked, "Sister, aren't you coming back to Shanghai with us?"

Leng Qing gently ruffled her younger sister's hair, a rare hint of tenderness in her expression. "There's still work to be done regarding the trial." She glanced at Qin Xiaonan, who was saying goodbye to Tang Yue, and said, "I'll come back to see you after I'm done with this."

"Okay~" Lingling knew her sister had something to do, so she didn't say anything more.

Tang Yue stood there, watching Qin Xiaonan and the others disappear before letting out a soft sigh.

Back in Shanghai, Lan Xi and Qing Ning followed Qin Xiaonan back to his apartment.

After these two incidents, Bao Laotou and the others trusted Qingning more and more, so they placed fewer and fewer restrictions on her.

As soon as Qin Xiaonan pushed open the apartment door, she heard Ai Tutu's angry voice coming from the living room: "Sister Mu! That Zhou Shuming is just too much! Today, in front of so many people at the academy, she actually said something like 'Miss Mu will eventually marry into our Zhou family'!"

Through the frosted glass of the entryway, you can see Ai Tutu waving her arms, her twin ponytails bouncing up and down with her excited movements.

Mu Nujiao didn't seem too emotional, and said, "I've already explained it to him."

"But judging from that guy's attitude," Ai Tutu plopped down on the sofa, crumpling a cushion into a ball, "he definitely won't let this go! Where on earth is Qin Xiaonan? His girlfriend got bullied!"

“Crack—”

The sound of the door lock turning interrupted Ai Tutu's complaints.

The two turned their heads and saw Qin Xiaonan and Lan Xi standing at the door with a strange woman.

Ai Tutu sprang up from the sofa, her gaze fixed on Qing Ning's alluring face—this unfamiliar woman wore a long, dark dress, her eyes adorned with tiny gold specks, and every gesture she made exuded charm.

"Good heavens, Qin Xiaonan!" Ai Tutu instantly bristled, pointing at Qing Ning, "Sister Mu was bullied, and you, on the other hand, bring back such a beautiful woman!"

Mu Nujiao quickly grabbed Ai Tutu: "Tutu, you've misunderstood."

Ai Tutu knew something about Qin Xiaonan's identity as a totem guardian, but had never met Qing Ning.

Qin Xiaonan walked straight up to Mu Nujiao, his brows furrowed slightly: "Did Zhou Shuming cause you trouble?" His voice was calm, but Qing Ning keenly noticed that his master's fingers, hanging at his sides, had quietly clenched.

"It wasn't much trouble," Mu Nujiao shook her head gently, her hair brushing against Qin Xiaonan's arm. "She just said some irrelevant things."

Qing Ning stepped forward gracefully, and the unique charm of the nine-tailed fox made Ai Tutu unconsciously take a half step back.

She parted her red lips slightly: "Do you need my help? I promise there won't be a trace."

This sentence caused the temperature in the living room to drop sharply.

Mu Nujiao quickly shook her head. She knew Qing Ning's identity. Could it be that the other party wanted to kill Zhou Shuming because of what she said?

Although this person is quite annoying, he is far from being a murderer.

Qin Xiaonan gently held Mu Nujiao's hand, her fingertips softly caressing her palm: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

"I'll go to the academy with you tomorrow and let those ignorant fools know that the eldest daughter of the Mu family is already taken. If they come looking for trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Mu Nujiao felt the warmth of his palm, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

The teaching at Mingzhu Academy is relatively relaxed. Qin Xiaonan's magic is very different from that of ordinary mages, and he has no shortage of resources, so he rarely goes to the academy.

Mu Nujiao nodded when she heard his words.

With Qin Xiaonan by his side, those annoying suitors should back down.

As the morning light shone on the tree-lined paths of Mingzhu Academy, Qin Xiaonan held Mu Nujiao's hand and walked slowly.

Mu Nujiao wore a school uniform short skirt, her long, fair legs particularly eye-catching in the morning light. Beside her stood Qin Xiaonan, tall and straight, his trench coat making him even more handsome and extraordinary.

The two walked together, looking like a perfect couple who had stepped out of a painting, attracting the attention of passing students.

However, their high-profile behavior was naturally noticed by Zhou Shuming.

Zhou Shuming's family, the Zhou clan, is a prominent family in the capital, and the elders of the clan have some connections with the Mu family. He believed there was nothing wrong with pursuing Mu Nujiao. He had just announced yesterday that he wanted to marry Mu Nujiao, and seeing this scene today, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.

"stop!"

Zhou Shuming, accompanied by several followers, stood menacingly in the middle of the road.

Seeing Mu Nujiao and Qin Xiaonan holding hands, his eyes almost spit fire.

"Where did this poor kid come from?" Zhou Shuming looked Qin Xiaonan up and down with disdain. "If you know what's good for you, get lost. Mu Nujiao is not someone you can aspire to!"

Qin Xiaonan didn't even glance at him, but gently squeezed Mu Nujiao's palm: "Is this the one from yesterday?"

Mu Nujiao nodded.

"You?!" Qin Xiaonan finally raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Zhou Shuming like a blade. "You think you're worthy?"

These three words completely ignited Zhou Shuming's anger.

He roared, "Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"

Blazing flames erupted from his palms, nine pillars of fire rising from the ground, and his flames seemed to be a kind of spiritual fire.

However, Qin Xiaonan simply waved her left hand casually.

"Sandfall."

Golden quicksand appeared out of nowhere, sweeping across the land like a tidal wave.

The burst of spiritual fire was easily extinguished in an instant, just like a candle flame.

The remaining sand condensed into countless sharp blades in the air and shot towards Zhou Shuming.

Zhou Shuming hastily cast a wind spell to try and dodge, but found that the sand blades seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing him no matter how he changed his position.

"Puff puff--"

The sand blades grazed his arms and cheeks precisely, each wound of uniform depth, causing him excruciating pain without causing permanent damage.

He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground in a disheveled state, his carefully styled hair in disarray and his face covered in blood.

Qin Xiaonan glanced at Zhou Shuming, who was slumped on the ground, then turned and left with Mu Nujiao in her hand.

Zhou Shuming slumped to the ground, his face ashen.

He stared intently in the direction the two had left, his fists clenched until they turned white.

He remembered this humiliation.

Qin Xiaonan didn't intend to kill him; she was just teaching him a lesson.

At the same time, it was also a declaration to the academy: Mu Nujiao is Qin Xiaonan's woman, and no one else should make a move on her.

This contest, which lasted less than ten seconds, left the students watching in complete silence.

Only after the two figures disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path did gasps of surprise erupt.

"Who was that person? He defeated Zhou Shuming in a single move!"

"I think her name is Qin Xiaonan. She rarely came to school before."

"It seems like they've broken through to a higher level."

"I remember now. When we were promoted to the main campus, I completed the team's assessment tasks all by myself, which caused quite a stir at the time."
