Three Years as a "Maid"

Tang Miao brought Mu Nujiao and the other girl to a magic dueling arena. He turned back and reminded them, "You better think carefully. If you lose, you have to be my maid for three years."

His well-intentioned reminder had no effect on Mu Nujiao.

"Seeing how confident you are, perhaps my chances of winning aren't high."

"But even so, I still want to try. After all, opportunities like this are rare."

"Also, you have to promise me one thing: don't force me to do things I don't want to do."

Although Mu Nujiao was confident, she had already considered the consequences of failure. She didn't want to lose her virtue over a duel...

Of course, she didn't actually think Tang Miao would agree to her last request, but she still said it.

Whether he agreed or not, she needed to cherish this opportunity.

Tang Miao shrugged and smiled, "Don't worry. While I like beautiful women, I won't force anyone."

Forcing someone was out of the question. With three years, he was confident he could tame her wild nature.

Hearing Tang Miao agree, Mu Nujiao was stunned for a moment before walking to the opposite side. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It appeared she wasn't someone who would truly sacrifice everything for her family.

He observed her closely. Her composed and noble demeanor gave off an aura of being admired from afar, especially her bright, moon-like eyes, which cast a sharp gaze that was anything but soft like her appearance. Yet, it was precisely this that made one's heart flutter even more.

Ai Tutu, acting as the referee, watched as the two prepared themselves and then announced, "Begin!"

As Ai Tutu spoke, wind elements began to swirl around Mu Nujiao.

Simultaneously, Tang Miao unleashed his Ice Element Domain, and the ground instantly became covered in a thick layer of ice. This included the area where Mu Nujiao stood.

Mu Nujiao, who had been full of fighting spirit moments ago, felt the temperature plummet. She realized Tang Miao hadn't attacked, yet she was so cold she couldn't even connect to her Star Chart!?

The whirlwind around her dissipated in an instant...

Even Ai Tutu, watching from the sidelines, felt the terrifying power of the Ice Element!

Her small mouth gaped open as she mumbled in disbelief, "This... this is just the side cultivation of that pervert!?"

In the arena, Mu Nujiao had already activated her defensive Magic Tool and was quickly launching an attack.

The Plant Element was rendered useless beneath the thick ice. Therefore, her only offensive option was the Wind Element!

Centered around Mu Nujiao's proud figure, rapidly rotating air currents, amplified by the cyan Wind Star Chart, quickly formed a storm.

"Wind Disc! Tornado!"

Then, these wind spell names were uttered solemnly from Mu Nujiao's lips.

The Dragon's Vortex coiled and rose from the ground. Wind was formless and colorless, but the air currents in the arena were sharp enough to sting, making one feel as if they would be pulled in and become insignificant dust, tossed about and torn apart at any moment if they lost their footing.

But as the powerful wind struck, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared before Tang Miao, completely nullifying the wind's force before it dissipated.

Tang Miao remained standing in his original spot, not having moved an inch.

"This power isn't enough. Do you have any other tricks? If not, then surrender."

Although she had only unleashed one skill, it had already consumed most of her energy. After all, resisting a Domain required a significant amount of magic power.

Mu Nujiao was unwilling. They hadn't even truly exchanged blows... but she had already lost from the start??

"I... I lost..."

Though she was reluctant to admit it, it was the truth. Within Tang Miao's Domain, she didn't even have a chance to attack. Moreover, the Ice Element, possessing a soul seed, didn't just suppress the Fire Element...

The moment Mu Nujiao spoke, the ice-attribute power radiating from Tang Miao instantly dissipated.

Fortunately, it hadn't lasted long, and with her defensive Magic Tool, she wasn't frozen.

After the Domain receded, Ai Tutu, holding the shivering Big Rabbit, scurried over. The hundred-pace distance felt like mere ten steps to Tang Miao; it wasn't satisfying at all.

Ai Tutu, hugging the trembling Mu Nujiao, glared at Tang Miao and yelled, "Hey, pervert, don't you know how to cherish a damsel in distress?"

"Uh..."

Tang Miao paused, then walked over, opening his arms towards Mu Nujiao and saying, "Shall I warm you up then?"

A faint blush appeared on Mu Nujiao's pale face as she shook her head, "No need!"

Ai Tutu looked even more disdainful, "Stop pretending to be virtuous while getting all the benefits! You have to treat us to a big meal, and you're paying!"

By the end, Ai Tutu was practically gritting her teeth.

"The cafeteria food at Pearl Academy is actually quite delicious..."

Seeing Ai Tutu on the verge of exploding, Tang Miao changed his tune, "However, there's a good hot pot restaurant nearby. It'll warm us up and help ward off the cold. How about we go there?"

Ai Tutu let out a soft "hmph," as if this was more acceptable.

As for Mu Nujiao, she had no reason to refuse now, other than to follow along. After all, Ai Tutu was very warm, especially her upper body, which felt like a portable heater.

As they left the arena, the seemingly delicate Mu Nujiao attracted many glances along the way.

Several new students even looked displeased seeing Tang Miao walking with them!

Some young masters from influential families even came forward to provoke them, but after Tang Miao instantly knocked one out with a burst of Lightning, no one else foolishly sought trouble.

Both girls were speechless at Tang Miao's ruthlessness. They knew that private magic duels were strictly forbidden in the academy.

Pearl Academy was a prestigious institution, and even the most arrogant young masters from influential families wouldn't dare to fight there. Yet, Tang Miao had acted so recklessly?

However, this was indeed the simplest method.

Because of this, no one caused any more trouble.

Tang Miao wasn't truly ignoring the school rules; he had his limits when he acted. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have just been paralyzed.

Because of this, he wasn't worried about Dean Xiao causing him trouble.

Leaving the academy, they went to a hot pot restaurant. Ai Tutu's demeanor, like she was trying to fleece a rich patron, left Tang Miao stunned.

When ordering, she only chose the expensive items, not the cheap ones!

Furthermore, while eating, Ai Tutu deliberately sat next to Tang Miao. Her goal was to block his escape route, preventing him from running away! Although the money from last time wasn't much, having him treat her to a meal only for her to end up paying, and worst of all, Tang Miao actually abandoning her, had made Ai Tutu furious!

Tang Miao hadn't planned on running anyway, but with Ai Tutu sitting beside him, he didn't refuse. At least he could feel her softness when he had nothing else to do~

After sitting down, Ai Tutu immediately regretted it!

She never expected that with Mu Nujiao sitting opposite them, this scoundrel would dare to take advantage of her? Although it seemed unintentional, she wasn't stupid!

But she was the one who had actively sat there. Other than glaring fiercely at Tang Miao, she had no other recourse.
