Chapter 103: Mu Tianxing’s Gift

“Dong–”

Ah Zhou jumped out of the light gate and landed on the ground.

The Tree Spirit and the Mystifying Bat were instantly flustered.

The former raised its arm subconsciously, its branches and leaves squirming and trembling.

The latter fluttered and flew up, circling the limited space in the dining room.

“Wow!” Both Yi Wei and Mu Xiaoxiao widened their eyes at the same time.

Yi Wei’s face showed obvious fear. The Demon Ape was too big and strong. Its aura completely overpowered them. They were not on the same level at all.

As for Mu Xiaoxiao, she naturally trusted Bai Wushang. She was not afraid at all. She approached the Denon Ape and exclaimed in surprise.

“Brother Wushang, so you like this kind of pet beast!”

“But that’s also right. You already have the Moonrabbit. It’s just right for you to contract a Demon Ape that’s good at attacking!”

“Is it very smart? It should be able to understand my words, right? What’s its name?…”

Mu Xiaoxiao threw out more than ten questions in a row, causing Bai Wushang’s head to hurt from the noise.

He avoided the important points and answered everything roughly.

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to ask further questions, Yi Wei grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao’s arm.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s time for class. We’re going to be late…”

“Wei Wei, you go ahead. I’ll be right there!”

“Okay…Okay!”

Yi Wei didn’t insist too much. It seemed that she had a certain understanding of Mu Xiaoxiao’s personality.

She took the Mystifying Bat and left to call for the guide car first.

Seeing that only the two of them were left in the dining room, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly changed the topic.

“Brother Wushang, I still have something…”

“Hmm?” Bai Wushang looked sideways.

“It’s like this. Brother Mu Tianxing contacted me and scolded me terribly.”

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. “Out of a letter with 128 words, there are actually 92 words saying that I’m wrong! Outrageous!”

“You asked for it!”

With regards to that problem, Bai Wushang showed no mercy at all.

“Uncle and Aunt have already arranged for you to go to the Cyan Pheonix Academy. Yet you wouldn’t go no matter what, so who can you blame?”

“Also, no matter what, you are an immediate member of the Mu Family. Is it appropriate for you to act alone? Is it appropriate for you to send away the guards and secretly follow me up the Floating Ship?”

“Aiya, I know I’m wrong!” Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and was unhappy. “I won’t be so willful in the future. I swear!”

Bai Wushang stared at her. She did not hide her disappointment and upset on her fair little face.

However, there was a rare determination in her eyes.

She was serious!

“It seems this girl has also matured…”

Bai Wushang’s brows relaxed, and he felt a little relieved.

Then, he heard Mu Xiaoxiao say, “Brother Wushang, I’ve decided I’ll work hard in this academy in the future! I won’t hold you back!”

“I’m a little surprised that you have such an awareness.”

Bai Wushang knocked her head out of habit, “Please prove it with your actions!”

“Okay!” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded hard, and a smile appeared on her pretty face, “Brother Wushang, I also got some information!”

“Brother Mu Tianxing is…one of the ten heroes of the Mountain and Sea! His nickname is ‘Tiger King’, and he’s ranked eighth!”

Bai Wushang blinked his eyes, not too surprised.

In his impression, Mu Tianxing was a talented and hardworking person.

He was groomed as the next head of the Mu family!

His character, ability, and methods were worlds apart compared to Mu Xiaoxiao, who was of the same age.

To be able to rank at the top of Mountain and Sea Academy was totally understandable.

Bai Wushang, in fact, felt that that rank was too low, and he muttered to himself, “Brother Mu is in the fourth grade and is ranked eighth. That Xia Wanlong is only in the third grade and is ranked third…things seemed to be rather complicated…”

However, Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and ridiculed, “He said that he was very busy and didn’t have time to care about me. He also warned me that I wasn’t allowed to use his name to cause trouble. He said that if I broke the rules of the college, he wouldn’t be able to save me. What should I do…”

Bai Wushang chuckled. “That’s very normal. Didn’t you cause a lot of trouble when you were young? Brother Mu has been tormented by you quite a lot, hasn’t he?”

“Aiya, that’s all in the past! Don’t mention it anymore!” Mu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet, feeling a little embarrassed and angry.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly smiled sweetly with her beautiful eyebrows.

“However, he is just as strict as his father. But he is also a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He silently sent us a sum of ‘support funds’. Here!”

Mu Xiaoxiao took two money bags from her light green ring and waved them at Bai Wushang.

“Hehe, Brother Wushang, take them. I have to go to class. Bye-bye!”

After saying that, Mu Xiaoxiao threw a money bag at Bai Wushang. Then, she waved her hand at the Demon Ape, pushed open the door, and rushed out.

The Tree Spirit looked back and immediately chased after her.

“This girl…so reckless.” Bai Wushang couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, he shook the heavy purse in his hand. His mood was indescribable.

“With this amount of money, I owe Brother Mu quite a big favor…”

When he opened it, he saw a stack of gold notes.

Nothing more, nothing less. Ten thousand gold.

…

Bai Wushang also had classes in the afternoon, but the timing differed from Mu Xiaoxiao’s.

From two to six, [Mutation Biology].

This was a Popular Science course. It mainly talked about the strange mutations in the supernatural world.

The instructor was a gentle and refined middle-aged woman. She was knowledgeable and explained in great detail.

Bai Wushang made a full ten pages of notes and still wished to continue.

After the course ended, he dragged his tired body and went to the Thousand Beasts Mall again.

To a certain extent, the 10,000 gold coins Mu Tianxing had given him had eased his financial pressure.

Bai Wushang chose to prioritize the exchange of resources to increase his strength.

Both the recipes of [Terror Tea Bird Egg] and the [Stinky Herring] had to be made, so he bought two of each.

Some of the ingredients were relatively rare, such as the Terror Bird Egg, Stinky Flower Corpse, and Giant Herring…in the end, along with all the supplementary ingredients, he spent a total of 6,500 gold coins to gather them.

Back at the dormitory.

Bai Wushang walked into the bathroom immediately.

He turned on the tap and poured hot water into the bathtub.

“Phew…I can finally rest!”

Leaning against the wall, Bai Wushang felt a little dizzy.

It was high-intensity physical training in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was meticulous thinking and memorizing.

Physical strength and mental strength were simply double happiness.

“Chirrup?”

Little Milky Way stuck its head out. After sleeping crazily during the day, its exhausted state was swept away.

Now that it was nighttime, it was time to come out and play!

“Chirrup! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ”

Little Milky Way let out a happy cry and jumped into the bathtub without hesitation.

Its snow-white feet were jumping around in the pool, excitedly stepping on the water.

“Alright, I’m going to put the medicine pack. Come out quickly!”

Bai Wushang pinched the back of its neck, smiled, and picked it up, putting it on the sink next to him.

He poured the secret medicine pack that Xiao Tieshi gave him.

The water in the bath gradually turned from clear and transparent to dark red.

“Sneeze!”

Milky Way sneezed a little, covering its nose and widening its eyes.

What is that? The smell is so strong!

Bai Wushang sniffed lightly and felt the heat in his lungs as if they were being burned.

“This medicine pack given by Instructor Xiao doesn’t seem to be an ordinary one either…”

With that thought in mind, Bai Wushang took off his clothes and submerged his entire body into the water.
