…"Stop touching them. If they get any bigger, it'll be inconvenient to move around!"
After the initial shock, Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Tang Miao.
They're almost a 'D' cup! And he's still touching them every day!
Tang Miao heard her, glanced at Tang Yue, and muttered, "You really don't know how lucky you are. If you were an airport, you'd be complaining about me every day!"
"Hmm?"
Although Tang Miao's voice was very low, he didn't try to hide it, and Tang Yue heard him clearly.
Feeling the terrifying glare of a queen, Tang Miao quickly extended his right hand, then his left, pointing and saying, "It's all this wicked hand's fault. I'll make sure to educate it properly when I have time!"
Tang Yue lightly scoffed, then took out a bank card and said, "Keep this 150 million. With your talent, it won't take long for you to break through to the high-level. This 150 million will be just enough to buy resources."
Tang Miao shook his head and said, "No need. I have a one-year cultivation pass for the Three-Step Tower. Plus, I'm directly entering the main campus. With the resources of the main campus and the opportunities at the Three-Step Tower, breaking through to the high-level is just a matter of time."
"Only when your strength improves can I cultivate with peace of mind. Otherwise, every time you go on a mission, I'd have to worry constantly."
The last time Tang Yue was ambushed, Tang Miao didn't investigate it thoroughly. However, if his guess was correct, it had something to do with his exposed strength.
But his relationship with Tang Yue was intimate, and the only people who knew were those in their village. They shouldn't talk carelessly, especially since the Black Snake listened to Tang Miao's commands. Who would dare to seek such trouble?
Suddenly, Tang Miao thought of something! It was the principal of the magic high school he first attended when he enrolled. Didn't he know about their relationship!?
"Yueyue, do you still remember the high school magic academy I first went to?" Tang Miao sat up and asked.
Tang Yue nodded, then said, "I remember. Wasn't that the school I arranged for you to go to?"
Tang Miao then asked, "Are you very familiar with that Principal Zhu?"
"I only had contact with him once when investigating the Black Vatican's movements, so I wouldn't say we're too familiar."
Tang Yue shook her head. Although she had taken on various roles, being a teacher at an academy in Bo City was her first time.
Tang Miao's expression turned grim, and he said coldly, "This time, the Black Vatican set a trap to lure you there. If I'm not mistaken, it's because my talent was exposed. And the reason they wanted to capture you was probably because of me! However, almost everyone who knows about our relationship is from our village. But they've been guarding the village year-round. The only one with suspicion right now is that principal!"
Listening to Tang Miao's deduction, Tang Yue also suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Although the Judgment Court was responsible for capturing the Black Vatican, it was not created to annihilate them.
And members of the Black Vatican generally wouldn't actively provoke the Judgment Court. It had always been a cat-and-mouse game, simply because while the Judgment Court was apprehending the Black Vatican within the country, it had never touched upon their fundamental interests. For instance, the Judgment Court might not even catch a few Blue-Clad Deacons in three to five years!
But this time, they actively lured… And before this, Tang Miao had just exposed his astonishing talent. Tang Yue pondered for a moment, then understood, and said, "Indeed, the only outsider who knows about our relationship is that Principal Zhu!"
Tang Miao stood up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that old geezer should also be a member of the Black Vatican. Let's go get him!"
Tang Yue hesitated, saying, "But, based on this alone, we have no reason to arrest anyone… Moreover, that Principal Zhu seems to be a high-level mage himself."
After all, she was a member of the Judgment Court, and before taking action, evidence was paramount.
The reason Tang Miao chose not to join any faction was precisely because he disliked such troublesome matters. However, with the opponent being a high-level mage, even he might not be able to apprehend him in his current situation, so he could only say, "Then let your people investigate him. That should be acceptable, right?"
Of course, the main reason was that this was merely a deduction and not yet confirmed. Otherwise, Tang Miao would have gone home, fetched his snake, and turned him into ashes in minutes.
Tang Yue nodded, but it was clear that the difficulty was not small!
After all, before exposing themselves, members of the Black Vatican were just normal people. Not to mention a high school principal, even within some major factions, there were many hidden Black Vatican members.
Salang's strength might not be very high, but when it came to scheming, he was no worse than those who vied for power!
"Be careful these days. If anything happens, call me immediately. Also, take these resources for cultivation. When you awaken your third element, it's best to guide it to awaken the Summoning element! Then I'll take you to find a suitable contracted beast." Tang Miao remembered that Tang Yue later awakened the Summoning element, but he wasn't sure if it was her third or fourth element.
However, with guided awakening, it shouldn't be a big problem.
And he could also contract a beast now, but for this second contract, he really didn't know what to choose… Tang Yue paused, then nodded. Although she didn't know why Tang Miao wanted her to guide her third element to Summoning, since he suggested it, she naturally couldn't refuse.
After chatting for a while, Tang Miao prepared to search on the computer.
Just then, fragmented memories suddenly surfaced in his mind. It seemed the Qilin Jade had activated, directly pulling him into his spiritual space.
Then, a beam of light poured into his mind.
"Tianshan… Totem Sacred Beast White Tiger…!?"
"Hiss~…"
After the light infusion, he immediately exited the spiritual space. Even though his spiritual power was very strong, he still collapsed onto Tang Yue's soft body, looking exhausted. Tang Yue, who was about to get up, was suddenly pinned back down on the small sofa by Tang Miao.
"I already said… not today…" Thinking Tang Miao was being playful again, Tang Yue was about to refuse when she noticed his forehead was covered in sweat. She quickly pulled him up and anxiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Hoo~"
Tang Miao, slumped in the soft embrace, took a slight breath~ then said, "It's nothing, maybe I cultivated for too long today."
He hadn't expected that the Qilin also had an information-searching function! However, if he could contract a White Tiger, wouldn't that be absolutely amazing?
But, he clearly couldn't tell Tang Yue about this, at least not before he returned. Otherwise, forget about whether the contract would make him powerful later, he might not even get the chance to contract it.
After all, Tianshan was a forbidden zone for humans!
If the Qilin Jade hadn't indicated that the White Tiger existed on Tianshan, he wouldn't have had any thoughts about it at all…
