426. Yu Shishi: Did I Ever Say I'd Guard Your Home?
As Tang Miao ventured deeper into the forest, a swarm of blue moths suddenly fluttered their wings and slowly emerged from the depths of the woods. They were clearly afraid of Tang Miao, only daring to linger about ten meters away from him.
More and more moths appeared, gradually outlining a graceful curve.
Suddenly, the moths scattered and quickly flew into the forest. Where the moths had just gathered, a woman dressed in a hooded hempen robe appeared. Her face was hidden under the hood, but when she slowly raised it, her bright and beautiful eyes were revealed. It must be said that although this woman had mutated, she was still quite beautiful.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Dark Serpent." Tang Miao didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.
"You're just taking me out like this?" Yu Shishi looked at him with some surprise.
This was clearly something she hadn't expected. After all, the Research Institute had been searching for her all along.
"What else?" Tang Miao looked at Yu Shishi, puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
"But... but the Research Institute is after me. If you take me out like this... what if we run into them..."
Seeing her hesitant and worried look, Tang Miao said, "I just beat up a few people from the Research Institute, it wasn't a big deal."
"What did you say!?" Yu Shishi was stunned upon hearing this...
Although she is indeed an Anomalies, she is still a human being!
They also have some understanding of certain forces, such as the Research Institute, which holds a very high social status.
Being targeted by this kind of person, she has been living a life of constant hiding and running away.
But that seemingly powerful figure she held in high esteem was actually beaten up by this despicable man in front of her?
Indeed, in Yu Shishi's eyes, Tang Miao belonged to the category of villains.
After all, having grown up without any family, the moths were her closest companions. But Tang Miao had previously wiped out entire groups in a single move! Just thinking about it makes me angry...
But faced with overwhelming power, she was helpless. Most importantly, he even knew about the totem. This left her with no choice but to endure it, despite her deep resentment...
"What's so surprising? It's just a branch of the Magic Association. Even if they're from the Magic Association, I'll still beat them up if I'm unhappy!" Tang Miao boasted, his words carrying a heavy dose of exaggeration.
Of course, ever since he crushed the Grim Reaper of the Holy Court of Judgment, he has indeed become somewhat arrogant. However, this is still due to his strength.
If he were still the same person who had just left that small village, he would never be so arrogant.
Yu Shishi wasn't very trusting, but Tang Miao clearly had no intention of explaining. In the end, she had no choice but to follow him.
Upon returning to Fei Niao City, Tang Miao took Yu Shishi's Mu Ningxue. Mu Ningxue rented a suburban house with a courtyard in Fei Niao City, which is currently the gathering place for members of the Tang Clan family.
Although the surname of this place is Tang, after a brief visit, it was discovered that the members here are mainly the former members of the Mu Family. After the various changes in the Mu Family, those who are still by Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue's side are basically the most trustworthy people.
As for those who come because of its reputation, there aren't many yet. If a sect wants to be established, it can't attract mages without its own territory, resources, or generous conditions. But none of that matters; everything can be managed gradually.
Upon seeing Tang Miao, everyone stood up, including Mu Ningxue's elderly father, Mu Zhuoyun.
Tang Miao looked at Mu Zhuoyun, then helped him up, saying, "Uncle, there's no need to be so polite with me. From now on, make yourself at home here."
Although Mu Zhuoyun is a bit materialistic, he has, after all, given that he has given his daughter away to someone else. Whether he takes responsibility or not is another matter entirely, so it's only right that he treats this new father-in-law with utmost respect.
Moreover, regardless of his character, at least to him, the two were complete strangers. This seemed to be their first meeting.
Mu Zhuoyun didn't know anyone else, but he certainly knew Tang Miao. Moreover, he knew very well that his precious daughter had achieved her current success only because of the help of the man in front of him.
To say I'm not grateful would be a lie.
Moreover, Tang Miao is probably the only one currently willing to support their branch in opposing the Mu Clan. Therefore, how could he dare to put on airs?
Tang Miao didn't argue with him further, but instead looked at Mu Ningxue and said, "I've found you a great helper. With her, we won't need to spend a lot of money recruiting mages for patrols anymore."
Yu Shishi was taken aback. Had she come here not to see the Dark Serpent?
How did you suddenly become a home guard?
Mu Ningxue looked at Yu Shishi and asked in confusion, "Are you talking about her?"
It's no wonder Mu Ningxue was puzzled, as Yu Shishi showed no signs of magical energy fluctuations. While it was possible that her cultivation level was higher than hers, given Yu Shishi's age, that was clearly not the case.
"She's like Bola, except she's not a vampire," Tang Miao explained, not noticing her confusion.
At this moment, Yu Shishi, feeling somewhat displeased at having her abilities questioned, spoke up, "Did I ever say I would guard your house?"
"You have no choice. Guard my home and protect me, and I can keep you safe from being arrested by the Research Institute."
There was absolutely no room for negotiation when it came to Yu Shishi. From the very first moment they met, this woman was destined to be exploited!
Of course, she could resist the exploitation, but it depends on whether she's interested. After all, forced relationships are never happy...
Upon hearing what Tang Miao said, Yu Shishi was somewhat indignant. She was indignant because this man seemed to know everything, and the feeling of having her fate controlled by him was truly unpleasant to her! However, she dared not show it. Because if this was true, then she would essentially have a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Being captured by the Research Institute was a recipe for tragedy for her... She didn't want to die, and she certainly didn't want to be a Little White.
"You decide, I have no objection," Mu Ningxue said calmly, then sat back down to study the architectural issues.
Yu Shishi hesitated, looking at Tang Miao, and asked, "Can you really... protect me?"
"Bola!"
Tang Miao was too lazy to explain and simply called out.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Bola suddenly appeared behind Yu Shishi, saying in a sinister tone, "Little Moth Woman, if my master wants to protect you, then no one can touch you!"
The battle at Parthenon Sacred Mountain, with its demonic power, left Bola in awe, and he placed an almost unbelievable trust in Tang Miao.
