Mu Family Girls, Take Your Pick

As the saying went, one did not strike someone who wore a smile.

Besides, Dongfang Chen had just obtained a high-level Earth Tier Dou Technique from Mu Nu Jiao.

Thus, when Mu Nu Jiao struck up a conversation with him, Dongfang Chen smiled and said, "What can I do for you?"

Although Dongfang Chen knew he was very handsome, Mu Nu Jiao was not the kind of silly girl who only cared about looks.

There had to be another reason why she had come over and spoken to him so boldly.

"Nothing in particular. I just wanted to come and make friends with you." Mu Nu Jiao smiled.

"Can I take that as you hitting on me?"

"You can take it that way."

When Mu Nu Jiao admitted that she had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Dongfang Chen,

Zhao Manyan's face twisted with jealousy beside them.

Damn it! It had been less than a month since school started, hadn't it? How had Dongfang Chen already swept up all three of the New Student goddesses?

Was he trying to leave the rest of them no way to live?

"You two chat. I'm going to stand over there and calm down."

Zhao Manyan sighed.

For the first time, he began to doubt his own personal charm.

After Zhao Manyan left,

Dongfang Chen said, "So it seems your family was the one who told you to hit on me."

The Mu Family had been currying favor with the Dongfang Family lately. As a direct descendant of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Chen was naturally their primary target for forming a closer relationship.

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

Then she nodded bitterly. "That's right."

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

The older generation was no longer as strong as before, while none of the younger generation had been able to carry the family banner.

Whether in the mage world or the business world, the Mu Family's influence was declining with each passing day.

That was precisely why the Mu Family had gone to such lengths to curry favor with the Hangzhou Dongfang Family, which had enjoyed the greatest reputation in recent years.

"In fact, my family has been wanting to form a marriage alliance with your Dongfang Family for some time now," Mu Nu Jiao said.

"That's easy. There are plenty of talented and decent young people in my Dongfang Family. Surely one of them should catch your family's eye."

"Actually, the person our Mu Family most wants to marry is you. The family has already sent people to discuss it several times, but your family head has always refused to give in. He said that your choice must be respected when it comes to the marriage alliance."

Dongfang Chen smiled without saying anything.

His position in the Dongfang Family could practically be described as one of Absolute Authority.

If he did not want a marriage alliance, even his uncles and grandfather would have to take his opinion into account.

"Doesn't the Mu Family know that I'm already engaged?"

Dongfang Chen asked in confusion.

Marriage alliances were very common among great families.

He did not actually resist the idea much. As long as the other party was beautiful, it would be fine. At worst, he could get on the bus first and buy the ticket afterward.

But he was already engaged to Xuexue, and his family even had Xin Xia as a young girlfriend living with them. He did not believe the Mu Family could be unaware of that.

Mu Nu Jiao looked at Dongfang Chen with an ambiguous smile.

"Of course we know. This kind of thing is very common among great families. Besides, you and Mu Ningxue are only engaged. You aren't actually married."

Dongfang Chen was left speechless.

"May I ask something presumptuous? If I agreed to the marriage alliance, who would your Mu Family marry to me?"

"Take your pick."

"Does that include you?"

Upon hearing this, a complicated expression appeared on Mu Nu Jiao's face. Then she said,

"That includes me as well."

As a member of the Mu Family, Mu Nu Jiao had enjoyed the family's excellent life, but she also had to shoulder its responsibilities.

She had known for a long time that the day would come when she would be married off for the family's sake.

That was why Mu Nu Jiao had worked so hard at cultivation: she wanted to control her own fate when it came to marriage.

Although she was among the strongest of this year's New Students in Magic City, that was all she had.

To the Mu Family, a talented New Student from a magic academy was not enough.

Unless Mu Nu Jiao possessed a monstrous innate talent like Dongfang Chen's Innate All Element,

or displayed the potential to advance to the Forbidden Curse realm with absolute certainty,

she was nothing more than a family member with decent talent in the eyes of the Mu Family.

"How about we try dating?"

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

"Is that your family's order, or your own idea?"

"Half and half," Mu Nu Jiao said. "There's both my family's order and my own wishes."

Seeing the doubtful look on Dongfang Chen's face, Mu Nu Jiao chuckled.

"I don't dislike you. Since my family also has that intention, I think we can try spending some time together first."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"You won't regret it?"

"I won't."

Since Mu Nu Jiao had gone that far, Dongfang Chen certainly would not say anything insincere.

At worst, he would get on the bus first and buy the ticket afterward. Since Mu Nu Jiao had already fallen into his bowl, he would not let her get away.

"Since that's the case, you won't be getting away now."

Dongfang Chen took Mu Nu Jiao's hand and raised it, intertwining his fingers with hers.

A slight change came over Mu Nu Jiao's eyes, and then she smiled. "I thought you would kiss me right away."

"If you want me to, I can."

Mu Nu Jiao pressed her moist lips together without saying anything.

But Dongfang Chen was the sort of person who always pushed his luck.

Since Mu Nu Jiao did not say anything, he took it as her tacit consent.

Thus, under Mu Nu Jiao's widening eyes, 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 nearby.

That voice interrupted the pair's intimacy.

Dongfang Chen followed the voice and looked over.

The person who had cried out was a petite girl. What was astonishing, however, was that her small frame somehow supported two Great White Rabbits!

Although the Big Rabbit girl wore an extremely conservative evening gown that revealed nothing but the skin of her arms, even that could not conceal her "ferocious" 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 fiercely at Dongfang Chen.

But because she was so petite and had a baby face,

the fierce look in the Big Rabbit girl's eyes seemed cute to Dongfang Chen instead.

As for her identity, Dongfang Chen had already figured it out. She was Mu Nu Jiao's close friend, Ai Tu Tu, the little princess of a military family.

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

Although the Dongfang Family did not have much contact with the Ai Family, it maintained close ties with the entire Huaxia Military.

Dongfang Chen naturally knew the military's specially cultivated genius, Ai Jiang Tu, who was also Ai Tu Tu's older brother.

The two of them had even sparred many times because they both specialized in Space Element Magic.

As for the outcome, Dongfang Chen had naturally crushed him.

After all, the One Thought Star Track and One Thought Star Map brought to him by his powerful Soul Power were simply too abnormal.

Even Ai Jiang Tu, a genius specially cultivated by the Military Department, could only suffer defeat.
