Mu Family Daughter, Pick Whoever You Please

As the saying goes, a smiling face invites no blow.

Besides, Dongfang Chen had just obtained an Earth Tier High Level Dou Technique from Mu Nu Jiao.

So, facing Mu Nu Jiao's approach, Dongfang Chen said with a smile, "Is there something you need from me?"

Although Dongfang Chen knew he was handsome, Mu Nu Jiao wasn't the kind of maiden who only cared about looks.

Her coming up to talk to him so abruptly must have some other purpose.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to make friends with you," Mu Nu Jiao said with a smile.

"Then can I take that as a pick-up line?"

"You can think of it that way."

Seeing Mu Nu Jiao admit she was the one initiating the conversation with Dongfang Chen, Zhao Manyan's face twisted with jealousy.

Damn it! It's been less than a month since school started, and Dongfang Chen has already swept up all three new goddesses?

How is anyone else supposed to live?

"You two chat. I'll go find some peace and quiet."

Zhao Manyan sighed.

For the first time, he doubted his own charm.

After Zhao Manyan left, Dongfang Chen said, "It seems that talking to me was your family's idea."

The Mu Family had been trying to curry favor with the Dongfang Family lately, and as a direct descendant of the Dongfang Family, he was naturally their prime target.

Hearing this, Mu Nu Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Then she nodded with a bitter smile. "That's right."

Although the Mu Family was one of the Four Great Families of the Magic City, they had been showing signs of decline in recent years.

The older generation's strength was far from what it used to be, and none of the younger generation could step up to carry the banner.

Whether in the Mage world or the business world, the Mu Family's influence was waning day by day.

That was precisely why the Mu Family was doing everything they could to win over the most renowned Dongfang Family of Hangzhou.

"Actually, the family has been wanting to arrange a marriage alliance with your Dongfang Family for a while now," Mu Nu Jiao said.

"That's simple. The younger generation of my Dongfang Family has plenty with good talent and character. They should meet your Mu Family's standards."

"In truth, the one our Mu Family most wants to marry into is you. The family has sent people to negotiate several times, but your family head has never budged, saying that this matter must respect your choice."

Dongfang Chen smiled without a word.

His status in the Dongfang Family was practically Absolute Authority.

If he didn't want a marriage alliance, even his uncle or grandfather would have to listen to his opinion.

"Doesn't the Mu Family know I'm already engaged?" Dongfang Chen asked curiously.

Marriage alliances were common in big families.

He didn't really have much resistance to it, as long as the other party was pretty. He could always get on the carriage first and buy the ticket later.

But he was already engaged to Xuexue, and he had Xin Xia as a little girlfriend at home. He didn't believe the Mu Family was unaware of that.

Mu Nu Jiao looked at Dongfang Chen with a knowing smile.

"Of course we know. Such things are common in big families. You're only engaged to Mu Ningxue, not actually married yet."

Dongfang Chen had nothing to say to that.

"May I ask, if I agreed to the marriage alliance, who would your Mu Family marry off to me?"

"Take your pick."

"Would that include you?"

Hearing this, a complex expression crossed Mu Nu Jiao's face before she replied.

"That includes me."

As a daughter of the Mu Family, Mu Nu Jiao enjoyed the family's privileged life but also had to bear the family's responsibilities.

She had long known that a marriage alliance would come one day.

That was why she worked so hard to cultivate—The Reason Is to take control of her own fate in marriage.

Though she was already among the strongest of this year's new students in the Magic City, that was all she was.

To the Mu Family, a talented new student at a magic academy wasn't enough.

Unless Mu Nu Jiao had monstrous talent like Dongfang Chen's Innate All Element, or showed the potential to definitely advance to Forbidden Curse.

Otherwise, to the Mu Family, she was just a talented daughter of the clan.

"How about we try dating?"

Mu Nu Jiao stared straight at Dongfang Chen with her beautiful eyes.

"Family orders, or your own choice?"

"Half and half," Mu Nu Jiao said. "There's the family's command, and also my own will."

Seeing Dongfang Chen's skeptical expression, Mu Nu Jiao chuckled softly.

"I don't dislike you. Since the family has a say in it, I think we can try getting along for a while."

"You've thought it through?"

"I've thought it through."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

Since Mu Nu Jiao had said as much, Dongfang Chen certainly wouldn't say anything against his own heart. At worst, he'd just get the ticket first and pay later—since she was already in his bowl, he wouldn't let Mu Nu Jiao slip away.

"In that case, you can't run away now."

Dongfang Chen took Mu Nu Jiao's hand, lifted it up, and interlocked his fingers with hers.

A slight change flickered in Mu Nu Jiao's eyes, then she smiled. "I thought you'd just kiss me directly."

"If you want, that works too."

Mu Nu Jiao bit her moist lips and said nothing.

But Dongfang Chen was the type to push his luck. Since Mu Nu Jiao stayed silent, he took it as tacit consent.

So, under Mu Nu Jiao's widening pupils, Dongfang Chen leaned in and kissed her.

Her lips were moist and sweet.

"Ah! What did you do to Sister Mu!"

A surprised voice came from the side. It was this voice that interrupted their intimacy.

Dongfang Chen followed the sound.

The one who had exclaimed was a petite girl, but what was astonishing was that on her small frame, she was carrying two great big rabbits!

The Big Rabbit girl was wearing a very conservative evening gown that only exposed the skin of her arms, but even so, it couldn't hide her "fierce" figure.

"Sister Mu, did he bully you! I'll have my brother beat him up for you!"

The Big Rabbit girl immediately pulled Mu Nu Jiao behind her and glared at Dongfang Chen with a fierce look.

But because she was so petite and had a baby face, her fierce glare came across as more of an adorable trait to Dongfang Chen.

As for her identity, Dongfang Chen had already guessed it—she was Mu Nu Jiao's best friend, the little princess of the military family, Ai Tu Tu.

"I didn't do anything to your Sister Mu, and you don't need to threaten me with your brother. He can't beat me."

Although the Dongfang Family didn't have much contact with the Ai Family, they were closely connected with the entire Huaxia Military. Dongfang Chen naturally knew the military's key-trained genius, Ai Jiang Tu, who was Ai Tu Tu's brother. In fact, because both of them specialized in Space Element Magic, they had sparred quite a few times.

As for the outcome, naturally, Dongfang Chen ended it with a crushing victory. After all, his formidable Soul Power brought him One Thought Star Track and One Thought Star Map, which were just too overpowered. Even Ai Jiang Tu, a genius carefully nurtured by the military, could only lose.
