Chapter 70 Return to Bo City

May 22, Bocheng, light rain.

"Why is the rain like this?" Jiang Shaoxu tugged at her clothes in annoyance and looked at the gloomy sky.

Having lived in the North for so long, in her eyes, rain should be a torrential downpour followed by a refreshing and pleasant clearing.

The rain in Kebo City is like sticky rice cakes, it just keeps falling and never stops, it's hard to tell if it's rain or fog.

She felt the umbrella was completely useless, and her clothes were uncomfortable clinging to her skin.

"I told you not to come, but you insisted," Xu Fang said. "I've already bought your train ticket. Go back as soon as you're done watching the game."

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to kick me out?" Jiang Shaoxu said, displeased. "Are you planning to spend some alone time with your teacher, Tang Yue? You shameless, womanizing blondie!"

"Can you just shut up for a bit?"

Xu Fang shaped a ball of light and shot it into Jiang Shaoxu's body.

"Mmm~" The girl let out a comfortable moan, the stuffiness brought on by the dampness disappeared, and Xu Fang also looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Compared to metropolitan cities like ancient capitals, Bocheng is less bustling but more tranquil.

Walking along the quaint sidewalk, the Mu Family Manor, with its uniform European-style buildings, comes into view.

"This is the Mu family, the local tyrants of Bocheng." Xu Fang pointed ahead: "See this mountain? It's all Mu family territory."

Jiang Shaoxu asked, "Is it a branch of the Mu family in the capital?"

"It wasn't like that before, but it has been since the Mu family patriarch gave birth to Mu Ningxue." Xu Fang stopped in his tracks. "We're here."

Jiang Shaoxu looked around and burst out laughing: "I have a feeling that you're the local bully."

All the surrounding houses were demolished, including Mo Fan's dog-skin plaster shop, which is now a pile of ruins.

Only Xu Fang's three-story house stood out like a crane among chickens.

This was all the work of Mu He, the number one real estate developer in Bocheng. Sometimes Xu Fang couldn't understand why this guy, as the Grand Deacon of the Black Vatican, was so keen on Bocheng Real Estate, which was bound to lose money.

Could it be to conceal their identity?

Because he lost so much, people subconsciously felt sorry for him and dispelled any suspicions about him.

This seemed to make sense at first glance, but Xu Fang still felt that Mu He, who always messed things up, wasn't nearly that smart...

"It must be Commander Zhan who's keeping an eye on things for me." Xu Fang pulled out a key he hadn't used in a long time from his pocket and opened the door: "Come in."

Upon entering, a wave of dampness hits you, and the walls and ceiling are covered with patches of mold, as if you have malaria.

"How about we have mushrooms for lunch?" Jiang Shaoxu suggested.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Look for yourself." Jiang Shaoxu stepped aside, and Xu Fang saw that a cluster of mushrooms had actually grown on his sofa.

—These mushrooms are even quite plump, juicy and look very appetizing.

"The air in the room isn't good. You go wait outside first. I'll go find something and then I'll go out," Xu Fang said.

This house is uninhabitable; we'll have to stay in a hotel for the next few days.

Xu Fang went upstairs to find something. Jiang Shaoxu stayed there for a while out of boredom, then walked out of the house with an umbrella.

The Mu family manor was bustling with activity. People could be seen coming and going from half a mountain away. The manor was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and even the rain couldn't dampen the festive atmosphere.

In a few days, Mu Yuang's coming-of-age ceremony will be held here. He will step on Mo Fan and become the only protagonist in the entire event!

Jiang Shaoxu didn't care at all who won or lost.

If Mo Fan can be Xu Fang's friend, then he can't be too bad.

Besides, even if he loses, it doesn't matter; Xu Fang will intervene. Unless Mu Yuang is even more talented than Ai Jiangtu and completes the intermediate stage of cultivation at eighteen, he's destined to be utterly crushed by Xu Fang.

"Oi!"

A strange noise rang out, but Jiang Shaoxu did not react at all.

"Oi! Oi! Oi!"

A young man wearing a black T-shirt with a dragon embroidered on his left shoulder sauntered up to Jiang Shaoxu in a cocky tone and said, "Beautiful lady, want to add an account?"

He noticed Jiang Shaoxu from afar; she was so alluring and had such a lewd figure that she could ignite a burning desire in anyone who looked at her.

Jiang Shaoxu glanced at them and sneered, "Little dog, go play in the mud!"

The young man in the black T-shirt, instead of getting angry at being looked down upon, felt that the woman was playing hard to get and became even more interested: "I forgot to introduce myself, my brother's name is Mu Chuan, a direct descendant of the Mu family!"

His status as a member of the Mu family was his trump card that made him invincible in picking up women. He didn't believe that this woman could resist the temptation of becoming a wealthy wife in the Mu family.

Jiang Shaoxu felt annoyed.

She's a sucker for good looks, and spending so much time with Xu Fang has made her standards picky.

The man in front of me, Mu Chuan, was hunched over with his neck jutting out like a turtle, and his mouth was constantly moving like he had a canker sore. He looked like a very energetic young man.

Jiang Shaoxu even wondered if her charm had diminished, otherwise why would even a lowly nobody like her dare to hit on her?

"Lingyi!"

Too lazy to say more, Jiang Shaoxu's eyes flashed, and Mu Chuan was struck as if by lightning, as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and all worldly desires vanished.

"Get out of here."

"Yes..." Mu Chuan hung his head and walked back blankly, overwhelmed by a wave of frustration.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mu Chuan suddenly felt a headache coming on and bumped into someone: "Holy crap, are you blind?!"

"You were the one who bumped into me..."

"Aren't you Mu Bai's dog? What, you dare to bark at me?" Mu Chuan cursed.

Zhao Kunsan lowered his head in frustration. Mu Bai frowned, but due to his status as a member of a collateral branch of the family, he could only ask, "Brother Mu Chuan, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

"Oh, right! That damn little wench!"

Mu Chuan suddenly realized what was happening and cursed, "Damn it, how dare they ambush my brother Chuan? They're asking for trouble!"

Feeling humiliated by the sneak attack that caused him to lose his hand, Mu Chuan angrily turned back to cause trouble for Jiang Shaoxu.

Mu Bai and Zhao Kun exchanged a glance and silently followed.

Mu Bai had long disliked Mu Chuan, this useless fellow who occupied a position without doing anything, possessing a large amount of resources but only managing to hold his own against Zhao Kun.

Because of her status, she has always been tolerant.

Mu Bai wanted to see which extraordinary woman had done what he had always wanted to do but dared not!

In a fit of extreme rage, Mu Chuan remained furious the entire way. When he finally returned to the starting point, panting heavily, he discovered that another man was standing next to Jiang Shaoxu.

"Damn it! You bitch, you don't know what's good for you, do you? No wonder you were so cold to me, turns out you had another man."

Mu Chuan stepped forward, cursing, "You dare to lay a hand on me? Don't you know my second uncle is a member of the Magic Association? One phone call from me and you two can be locked up for life!"

His words were explosive.

But no one paid any attention to him.

Mu Bai and Zhao Kunsan stared wide-eyed at the blond man in front of them, unable to believe their eyes.

Xu Fang laughed and said, "Don't you recognize me?"

"Xu...Xu Fang!?" Zhao Kunsan exclaimed incredulously, "You came back alive from the ancient capital?"

Her little mouth looked like it had been smeared with poop.

Compared to Zhao Kunsan, Mu Bai's question was clearly a level above: "You wouldn't happen to be here to participate in the magic duel... Are you the last person Principal Zhu hasn't announced yet?"

"What!?"

Zhao Kunsan's fat face was contorted.

You know, when he first awakened, he could call himself "Third Brother". Even though Xu Fang achieved a 3S score, Zhao Kun would still comfort himself that Xu Fang was just a third wheel.

But now, Xu Fang is back, and he's going to represent the school in the competition!

The huge sense of disparity was unacceptable to Zhao Kunsan.

—What's even more unacceptable is that Mu Chuan tried so hard to be angry, but these bastards started chatting amongst themselves, and not a single person paid any attention to him.

This is absolutely outrageous!
