Chapter 52 - A honey trap? Or did Serafina take the fall for it all?

Fortunately, Mu Nujiao knew her limits. After suppressing her desire and longing for battle, she returned to her original gentle and elegant demeanor.

There's no trace of the fervor he displayed when talking about magical battles.

"Please give me your guidance in the future, Senior Su. You are welcome to visit my villa when you have time. I live here with another friend."

"I apologize for disturbing you today. Goodbye, Senior Su!"

After saying that, Mu Nujiao waved her hand with a bright smile and walked back to her villa.

Watching Mu Nujiao return to the villa, Su Lan raised an eyebrow.

What a coincidence!

Mu Nujiao actually lived next door to him.

But was it really just a coincidence?

Mu Nujiao, who has just enrolled in Mingzhu Academy, should be living in the dormitory of the Qing Campus.

After all, both freshmen and returning students at the Qing Campus must live on campus before they move to the main campus.

Furthermore, after entering university, Mu Nujiao should, in order to break free from the control of her family, rely on herself as much as possible.

Even during my sophomore year, I chose to share an apartment with strangers.

It's obvious they don't have much money.

Now they're actually moving into the big villa next door?

Considering that the Mu family of Shanghai has been in contact with [Alien] recently, wanting to further promote their cooperation.

"So...this is a honey trap?"

Using Mu Nujiao solely as a honey trap seems like overkill.

It should be noted that Mu Nujiao is known as one of the "Two Beauties of the Mu Family" in the Mu family. She is recognized as the most talented person in the Mu family and is a key pillar that the Mu family will focus on cultivating in the future.

Shaking her head, Su Lan stopped thinking about these random things.

You'll find out what the other person wants to do as you get to know them in the time you spend together.

As for whether the other party has malicious intent towards me?

No, not at all.

The respect is genuine, the joy is genuine, and the admiration is genuine.

Therefore, Su Lan did not have any ill feelings towards Mu Nujiao.

Su Lan then entered the villa.

On the other side, Mu Nujiao entered the villa with a faint smile on her face, but her expression was somewhat complicated.

Su Lan's name spread when Mingzhu Academy opened last year.

Especially for children from prominent families who intend to attend Mingzhu Academy in the future.

Almost every year, they pay attention to whether any exceptionally talented young people emerge from the new cohort of students at Mingzhu Academy.

While there have been some talented freshmen in the past, no one has been particularly outstanding.

Until last year, when Su Lan, a freshman, fought, her combat prowess completely shocked everyone who was paying attention to this matter.

When Mu Nujiao learned that Su Lan had defeated hundreds of freshmen with two warrior-level demons in the beast fighting competition at the welcome party, she felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

Who can directly contract two warrior-level beasts at the mid-level of the summoning system?

Let alone two.

Generally, a mid-level summoning mage can only contract one summoned beast.

The two warrior-level summoned beasts achieved a crushing victory in that match.

Mu Nujiao watched the entire competition no less than twenty times.

Every time she watches it, Mu Nujiao makes a new discovery.

Despite her gentle and dignified appearance, Mu Nujiao is a battle maniac.

Especially during battle, their personality changes drastically, becoming filled with a fervor for magical combat.

Su Lan's overwhelming victory over her peers made Mu Nujiao very envious.

Afterwards, whether it was the individual or team competition against the British Empire, or the battle in the second semester of her freshman year when Su Lan directly entered the main campus and defeated all the top students of each department, Mu Nujiao had endless memories of it.

Mu Nujiao moved here next to Su Lan this time with a mission from her family.

That is to befriend Su Lan as much as possible while being her peer.

The reason for this is that the power behind Su Lan, [Alien], is many times larger than the Mu family.

According to calculations among various families, the high-level combat force of the [Alien] is at least comprised of a semi-forbidden spell mage.

At the very least, there are five or six fully-trained, super-level mages in charge.

This fighting strength has surpassed that of the Mu family by several times.

What the Mu family could do was, of course, to try their best to be on good terms with them.

The herdsmen went to great lengths to achieve this.

Originally, they intended to cultivate good relations with the higher-ups of the alien planet.

That is, an alien girl with monarch-level strength.

However, the alien girl remained loyal to Su Lan and ignored any private attempts by the Mu family to curry favor.

Everything is a direct connection between public and private entities. If the cooperation goes well, we can continue to cooperate next time.

If there are obstacles to cooperation, then we should just end the cooperation.

After a year of development, anyone can see the enormous potential of the Alien Hunting Grounds.

In order to further advance their family's fortunes, the Mu family wanted to board the ship of the [Alien] Hunting Grounds.

But now, people are already standing in front of the large ship, stuck at the boarding gate.

It's not just the Mu family; many large families are in the same boat, unable to forge deeper connections and collaborations with the aliens.

Left with no other choice, the Mu family had to send out Mu Nujiao.

The family originally thought Mu Nujiao would be unwilling, but when Mu Nujiao learned that the person she was going to meet next was Su Lan, she agreed.

Mu Nujiao agreed purely because she had researched too much about Su Lan over the past year.

She couldn't wait to get to know Su Lan.

Of course, neither the Mu family nor Mu Nujiao demanded anything from Su Lan.

Faced with such a powerful force as the Alien Hunters, all schemes and tricks are in vain.

They only hoped that Mu Nujiao could establish a deep friendship with Su Lan, not for money, but for the sake of friendship.

Patting her head, Mu Nujiao didn't dwell on it any longer.

The neighborhood relationship has now been initially established, and Mu Nujiao will not deliberately push it forward.

She felt that letting things take their natural course was fine.

...

As usual, Su Lan ate and washed up with Ye Xinxia after entering the villa.

After an hour of madness, Ye Xinxia, ​​who was drawing circles in Su Lan's arms, suddenly looked up at Su Lan.

Noticing that Su Lan seemed a little absent-minded, Ye Xinxia pouted.

"Brother Su Lan, are you still thinking about Yu Mian moving into our villa?"

Before Su Lan could figure out what to say, she suddenly heard Ye Xinxia's question and after a long while, she laughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

Good heavens!

How did Xinxia find out?

Seeing that Su Lan's expression was a little unnatural, Ye Xinxia buried her head in Su Lan's chest.

"Brother Su Lan, I don't mind at all~~~"

Su Lan, who had originally wanted to say something to salvage the situation, sighed softly after hearing Ye Xinxia's words.

"I'm sorry, Xinxia."

Ye Xinxia shook her head and looked into Su Lan's eyes.

"As long as Brother Su Lan stays by my side, I will forgive him~~~"

Hearing Ye Xinxia's firm and loving words, what else could Su Lan do?

Of course, Ye Xinxia deserves a big reward!

Soon, Su Lan demonstrated through her actions that she would never leave Ye Xinxia and expressed her love for her.

Unfortunately, Ye Xinxia quickly raised the white flag of truce.

Her constitution is still weak, not as good as Su Lan's current physical condition.

Serafina, who had been prepared in advance, voluntarily joined the battle.

In the end, before Ye Xinxia fell into a deep sleep, it was Serafina who took on all the burdens.
