Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Mu Nujiao’s Invitation

"I could agree to your request, but aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word afterward?" Mu Ye looked at Zhou Haoyu and said.

"If you can't even keep a basic promise like that, how are you supposed to take over a whole family in the future?" Zhou Haoyu shot back.

Mu Ye frowned tightly. Although this guy's words weren't pleasant to hear, there was some truth in them.

Zhou Haoyu didn't care about Mu Ye's reaction. Instead, he turned around and said to Lingling, "Lingling, you brought the monster luring powder, right?"

"You're really unprofessional. Every time you make me do the work," Lingling rolled her eyes at him in disdain, then took out a small pouch of monster luring powder from her backpack and sprinkled it around the cave entrance.

"If we place the powder inside the cave, wouldn't the effect be better?" Zhou Haoyu asked.

"This monster luring powder does attract demon beasts quite effectively, but its range is limited. Ideally, you'd spread it along a path to lure them out gradually," Lingling explained.

"Leave it to me."

Zhou Haoyu snatched the monster luring powder from Lingling's hand, poked a small hole at the bottom of the pouch, and tied it to the hilt of his silver shortsword.

Then, using his Spiritual Origin energy, he sent the silver shortsword into the cave.

Mu Ye, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu all looked surprised at the scene, but Lingling looked unfazed, clearly used to it.

"What kind of spell is that?" Mu Nujiao asked curiously.

"My brother can also control small objects. Don't tell me you awakened the Space Element too?" Ai Tutu said suspiciously.

"My main element is Space. That little trick is nothing worth mentioning," Zhou Haoyu answered in a calm tone.

"So it's the Space Element." Mu Ye's expression shifted into realizing no wonder his Spiritual energy was so terrifying.

If his main element was Space, then the stronger his mental strength, the more powerful he'd become.

"That's way too much of a coincidence!" Ai Tutu perked up like a cat spotting a mouse, suddenly full of energy.

This guy wasn't just good-looking and strong he even had the same primary element as her brother.

There's no way her family would disapprove!

At that moment, the silver shortsword whooshed back out, and the pouch tied to it was already empty.

"All that's left now is to wait."

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

A deep rumbling came from inside the cave, causing the sand and dirt outside to tremble.

"It's coming."

Zhou Haoyu heard the movement and immediately said to Lingling beside him, "Lingling, fall back a bit."

Lingling nodded and quickly hid behind a nearby fruit tree.

"You take Miss Ai back behind us and make sure you stay safe," Mu Ye instructed Mu Nujiao as well.

If it were only Mu Nujiao here, Mu Ye wouldn't be so concerned.

But Ai Tutu was of noble status if anything happened to her, he'd be held responsible.

"Mu-jie and I are both Intermediate-level mages. We've dealt with demon beasts before," Ai Tutu said.

Zhou Haoyu shook his head slightly. That so-called experience meant little in front of a Warrior-level demon beast.

Suddenly, a demon beast covered in brown scale armor burst out from the cave. Though not tall, its body was over three meters long, and its limbs were thick and powerful.

"As expected it's that beast!"

Mu Ye got visibly excited the moment he saw the creature.

Zhou Haoyu shot him a glance and reminded, "Don't get too happy just yet. It's only yours once we capture it."

Mu Ye suppressed his excitement and said to Zhou Haoyu, "Help me stall it for a bit."

Zhou Haoyu didn't respond with words. Instead, he immediately controlled the silver shortsword to launch an attack on the armored demon beast.

Having previously fought the Red Armored Cockroach, Zhou Haoyu didn't foolishly use Lightning Element magic this time.

Though he had the powerful Devover Seed, this scale-armored beast had an even higher bloodline and clearly more terrifying defenses lightning spells would be nearly useless.

With his enhanced Spiritual energy, the silver shortsword shot forward like a bolt of lightning, striking the beast's back scales with a loud clang, sparks flying as if metal clashed against metal.

"Thirty percent power, and it only left a scratch? No wonder Mu Ye's so obsessed with it."

Seeing the shallow mark left on the creature's back, Zhou Haoyu was secretly shocked.

"If that doesn't work, time to try something else."

Zhou Haoyu recalled the silver shortsword back to his hand, and with a thought, summoned the Flame Scorpion Tiger.

In the next moment, the Flame Scorpion Tiger leapt out from a silver summoning circle and rammed violently into the armored demon beast. With terrifying strength, it knocked the creature back over a dozen meters.

"A Warrior-level summoned beast!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Nujiao's expression turned to disbelief this person's talent far exceeded her expectations.

A person's energy is limited, which is why there's the division of primary, secondary, and tertiary elements.

But Zhou Haoyu, even while majoring in the Space Element, had cultivated the Summoning Element to such a level stronger than most mages who majored in Summoning.

At this time, Mu Ye had already finished drawing his Star Constellation.

From the solid ground, a dozen thick ghostly vines, massive like ancient trees, erupted upward. In an instant, the vines formed a cage around both the Flame Scorpion Tiger and the armored demon beast.

This was a High-tier Plant Element spell—Ghostwood Grasp!

Zhou Haoyu reacted quickly and hurriedly recalled the Flame Scorpion Tiger.

"Jackpot! I've struck it rich this time, hahaha!!!"

Seeing his plan succeed, Mu Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhou Haoyu simply clicked his tongue this guy probably hadn't fought a real demon beast more than a few times in his life.

"Five times the commission fee—don't forget," Zhou Haoyu reminded him.

"Relax. Once I resell it, your cut won't be missing," Mu Ye said, his face still full of joy.

Zhou Haoyu grew more curious. What kind of species was this demon beast to make Mu Ye this excited?

At that moment, Lingling walked over, curled her lip, and said, "This is practically a pie falling from the sky. Just reselling this demon beast could easily fetch two to three hundred million."

"Two to three hundred million? This demon beast has Commander-level bloodline?" Zhou Haoyu asked in surprise.

Lingling nodded. Seeing Zhou Haoyu still without much reaction, she asked, puzzled, "This guy kept it secret from you aren't you angry?"

"If it were me, I'd do the same," Zhou Haoyu replied calmly.

In truth, Mu Ye had the capability to capture this armored demon beast on his own. He just didn't know the first thing about monster hunting.

"How exactly are you cultivating? Both your elements are dimensional types, and you're still advancing so quickly. You're practically a monster."

At this moment, Ai Tutu suddenly leaned over to Zhou Haoyu's side, swaying in a way that drew plenty of attention.

"I'll just take that as a compliment," Zhou Haoyu said casually.

"Mu-jie, this guy doesn't know the meaning of modesty at all," Ai Tutu said as she tugged on Mu Nujiao's arm.

Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes at her. With talent that strong, this already counted as very humble.

"Are you a student at Pearl Institute?" Mu Nujiao suddenly asked.

"No."

"Then do you have time tomorrow?"
