Chapter 47 Mu Nian
Chapter 47 Mu Nian
After the people on this side ran away, the ice that had frozen the corpses broke free, and a large number of undead poured out from behind, crossing this buffer zone.
"No, there are still corpse ministers here. It's been so many years since I've seen a corpse minister in the buffer zone. It looks like we need to change the buffer zone, or just abolish it altogether." In the distance, a man stood there gazing at the corpse ministers, muttering to himself.
He is the commander-in-chief here, a high-level mage. The buffer zone is a place for hunter mages to make money. There aren't many military mages in the buffer zone; they are all hunters who come here voluntarily for money.
Corpse ministers are rarely found in this buffer zone. The fact that so many people died tonight was purely an accident. No one would have thought that a commander-level thousand-armed flesh mound corpse minister would appear here.
"I don't think I can beat this thing. I need to call two more people." The man frowned, took out his phone, made a call, said a few words, and then stayed where he was to wait for someone.
……
On the other side, Xiaoqing led Su Ming and Mu Qianjin directly to the city wall to rest.
The moment Mu Qianjin landed, she collapsed to the ground and retched. Xiao Qing's flying skills were terrible. She was already weak from using the Ice Crystal Bow, and she almost died on the way.
As for Su Ming, he lay motionless on the ground, his face pale, his pupils dilated, and although he was conscious, he was on the verge of death.
Xiaoqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she didn't know what to do.
Mu Qianjin was frightened by Su Ming's appearance. She quickly checked on him and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although he looked quite scary, he was not in any immediate danger.
"This is poison entering the body, and luckily I had some medicine with me."
Mu Qianjin took out a small bottle, held Su Ming's head, and poured the contents into it.
The medicine worked very well, with immediate results, and Su Ming twitched his finger.
Then his arms, and then his whole body, his face was still pale, one hand was still hanging on his shoulder, and thick green liquid dripped down from time to time.
"The paralyzing effect of the toxin has worn off. You can go to the hospital to get it checked out. If possible, you can find a healing mage who can reattach your hand." Mu Qianjin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Su Ming was alright, and she suggested.
"It's a pity you're not from our academy, otherwise you could receive treatment for free. The school has professors in the healing department, but they don't work with the general public."
Mu Qianjin shook her head, feeling it was a pity. If she had money, it would be fine, but if she didn't, her arm would most likely be ruined.
Hiss~~~~~
Speechless, Su Ming turned his neck. It was really painful to have been on the verge of life and death. He almost thought he wouldn't be able to get up.
"I am a student at the Ancient Capital Academy, although I have only just enrolled." He knew that the teachers at the Ancient Capital Academy would treat students.
But he couldn't contact any of the teachers; he didn't have a single teacher's contact number, so he could only rely on this girl.
"Ah?!" Mu Qianjin's eyes widened, then she smiled and said, "So you mean the students of the Ancient Capital Academy? That's great! Your arm will definitely recover."
"My name is Su Ming. Could you please contact the teacher? I don't have their phone number."
"Okay, sure." Mu Qianjin nodded in agreement, then took out her phone to call her teacher at the academy. After briefly explaining the situation, Mu Qianjin nodded to Su Ming to indicate that there was no problem.
"My name is Mu Qianjin, a student at the Ancient Capital Academy. I just enrolled this year. It's a pleasure to meet you." Mu Qianjin smiled sweetly and extended her hand to shake hands with Su Ming.
Su Ming tried to grip it, but found that his hand was broken and he couldn't hold on.
Mu Qianjin belatedly realized what had happened and apologized sincerely, sticking out her little tongue in a rather adorable manner.
A very lively little girl.
Ring ring ring...
Ring ring ring...
Ring ring ring...
Xiaoqing kept calling out from the side, very angry that Su Ming didn't care about her at first, even though she clearly cared about "Dad".
I'm angry.
Su Ming was about to comfort Xiao Qing when she suddenly dodged and opened a dimensional portal, returning to the summoning plane.
The ancient capital academy is very attentive to the needs of its students; when Su Ming was injured, a special car came to pick him up.
Instead of sending him back to the university, they notified the teachers and arranged for him to receive treatment nearby.
It has to be said that magic is amazing. How could such a serious injury be healed so quickly? I am still a little tired, but my body has recovered completely.
Su Ming lay on the hospital bed, the expenses of which were reimbursed by the university, so he didn't have to pay. Next door was Mu Qianjin, who was reading a book in bed. Just a few hours ago, she was fighting fiercely with the undead, but a few hours later she could quietly read a book. She was really amazing.
Mu Qianjin lowered her head, her bangs falling down, which she casually tucked behind her ear, revealing her delicate and lovely profile, which made people lose their minds.
Beside him was a slovenly, unkempt man, young in age and of poor character, quietly peeling and slicing an apple.
After plating, a toothpick was used to stick the food near Mu Qianjin's mouth. Mu Qianjin opened her mouth and ate it, and the two of them repeated this process.
The scene looks somewhat incongruous: one is a delicate, cute, lively, and cheerful young woman, and the other is... well, it's hard to describe the man. The two are not at all in the same style, yet they still ended up together.
The strangest thing is that these two are siblings.
The younger sister is Mu Qianjin, and the older brother is Mu Qiannian.
That's Mu Qiannian from the ancient capital's academy, the high-level space-type mage.
Mu Qiannian looked at his younger sister with doting eyes, wanting to scold her but unable to speak. When he heard that Mu Qianjin had gone to the buffer zone to hunt undead and encountered a corpse minister, he was almost scared to death. Fortunately, she was not hurt, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.
"You're so naughty. If you want the Undead Crystal, just tell your brother. Leave those disgusting Undead to your brother to kill. Don't touch them again." Mu Qiannian gently stroked her nose, speaking affectionately.
"Mm." Mu Qianjin nodded gently.
Mu Qiannian nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, but then caught a glimpse of Su Ming out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"Qianjin, you should focus on your studies. I'm going out to talk to him." After feeding him the last piece of apple, Mu Qianqian spoke softly.
"it is good."
Mu Qiannian stood up, looking down at Su Ming and said, "Come out for a bit?"
Su Ming was a little confused. How did this get involved with him? But he still came out. This person was a senior, and he might need to ask him for advice on spatial issues in the future.
Mu Qiannian was waiting for him outside the door. After Su Ming came out, the two went to the stairwell. After making sure that Mu Qianjin couldn't hear a sound, Mu Qiannian finally spoke, "What's your name?"
"Su Ming".
"Well, Su Ming, I have something to tell you. You've seen my sister, haven't you?"
Su Ming nodded and replied, "Very cute."
Mu Qiannian curled her lip, "Nonsense, it's natural that Qianjin is cute. If you dare to say she's not pretty or cute, I'll cripple you right now."
Su Ming's heart skipped a beat. This guy was acting strangely. Was he the legendary sister-complex?
He didn't reply, lest he displease the man.
Mu Qiannian continued, "You've seen my sister too. I've protected her too much since she was little, so she's not wary of outsiders." As he spoke, he glanced at Su Ming, making it seem like he was some kind of criminal who coveted his sister.
"She's too kind-hearted. I've heard what happened over there. Do you think a normal person would think of using a magical artifact that would cause permanent damage to their own body to fight the Corpse God?"
"No, you saw it yourself. Didn't the young lady almost faint after the magic bow was released? Didn't everyone run away? Did anyone come to save her?"
Su Ming originally wanted to say a few more words. If he had such a powerful magic tool, he would definitely take action, even if it would harm him. But there were still many people there, and if he didn't save them, they would all die at the hands of the Corpse Minister.
But after Mu Qiannian said that, Su Ming hesitated.
Yes
What would have happened if I weren't by Mu Qianjin's side? The Corpse Minister broke through the ice, everyone ran away, and Mu Qianjin, who was left defenseless, was left alone. The outcome was self-evident.
If it were Su Ming, he probably wouldn't have chosen to take action if he knew he might die here. His own life is more important than anyone else's, and there's nothing shameful about that.
"So I need to ask you for a favor," Mu Qiannian said earnestly.
"What kind of help?" Su Ming replied subconsciously, then immediately regretted it. The thing Mu Qiannian asked him to help with must be very troublesome.
Mu Qiannian nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, I am very satisfied with your speed. To put it simply, I plan to let Qianjin experience the harshness of society. I will be away from the ancient capital for a long time, so that Qianjin can live a better life."
Su Ming felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. A hypothesis emerged in his mind, and it was highly likely that what Mu Qiannian said was this hypothesis.
"You rescued Qianjin, so you can barely be considered someone I fought alongside, so you could be considered half a comrade-in-arms. Given Qianjin's personality, she definitely has no suspicion of you and thinks you are a good person. That's what I'm going to take advantage of."
Later, I'll pretend to go back and hide outside. During the night, when the medical staff are checking the rooms, you'll unleash your bestial instincts on your daughter, letting her experience the harshness of society.
Mu Qiannian paused, his gaze turning icy. "You'd better be careful, whatever you do, don't touch the young lady. Just scare her a little, or I might kill you!"
