Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, a semester was over.
"Sister Mu, I saw a nice apartment online. We won't have to live on campus next semester, so how about we go check it out together?"
Ai Tutu said as she linked arms with Mu Nujiao, her full chest swaying slightly with every step.
Mu Nujiao thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
She preferred a quiet environment, and renting an apartment outside the campus would indeed be more comfortable.
Before long, the two arrived at the apartment building and took the elevator to the twelfth floor.
Just as they were about to knock on the door of the apartment for rent, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
"Mu Nianbing? What are you doing here?" Ai Tutu exclaimed, her mouth dropping open in shock.
Mu Nujiao was also surprised, but compared to the excitable Ai Tutu, she remained much calmer.
Half a minute earlier, Mu Nianbing had been about to go out to pick up Ye Xinxia.
Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, he ran straight into Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.
Was this coincidence?
Or was one of his blessings at work again?
"You aren't targeting Sister Mu and me, are you? Did you deliberately follow us here?" Ai Tutu asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Tutu!" Mu Nujiao frowned slightly and reprimanded her softly.
Questioning someone without any evidence was quite inappropriate.
Mu Nianbing's face darkened slightly, and he replied irritably, "You're overthinking it. I'd rather die than follow you."
Hearing this, Ai Tutu instantly felt deeply offended, her chest rising and falling with anger.
"Are you questioning this young lady's charm?" Ai Tutu demanded as she placed her hands on her hips and glared at him.
Mu Nianbing shrugged calmly and said, "Do I even need to question it? If I were going to follow anyone, it would be the one next to you."
Such blunt words immediately made Mu Nujiao's expression stiffen slightly.
If it were someone else, she might not care much, but Mu Nianbing was widely recognized as the most outstanding genius on the main campus.
More importantly, her elder brother had also advised her to interact with Mu Nianbing more often.
"Aha! You've been exposed! You're definitely harboring ill intentions toward Sister Mu!" Ai Tutu shouted angrily as she pointed at him.
Mu Nianbing rolled his eyes, too lazy to continue explaining.
"Ai Tutu!" Mu Nujiao grabbed Ai Tutu's arm and pulled her back, worried she might say something even more outrageous.
"Sister Mu, he admitted it himself! Otherwise, why would he be here?" Ai Tutu insisted stubbornly.
"Are you kidding me? This apartment is my home," Mu Nianbing said as he pointed to the door behind him.
Both Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu froze in shock.
Such a coincidence?
Ai Tutu, who had just been so confident, instantly deflated. Her face filled with embarrassment.
Mu Nujiao shot her a sharp glare. Ai Tutu had really caused a huge misunderstanding this time.
"We're here to rent an apartment, the one next to yours," Mu Nujiao explained apologetically.
"Oh? Then it seems we'll be neighbors from now on," Mu Nianbing said as he raised an eyebrow, clearly not taking the previous misunderstanding to heart.
Mu Nujiao simply nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out now," Mu Nianbing said.
Although his apartment still had two empty rooms, he had no intention of taking roommates, even if they were two beautiful girls.
After this semester, Ye Xinxia would no longer need to live in the dormitory.
If he accepted roommates, it would become very inconvenient.
Therefore, Mu Nianbing preferred to live there with just the two of them without worrying about others.
It wasn't until Mu Nianbing left in the elevator that Ai Tutu slowly emerged from behind Mu Nujiao.
"This guy doesn't seem so bad after all. Life might actually become interesting from now on," Ai Tutu said as she placed her hands on her slender waist, already imagining her future life.
"You're the one who misunderstood him. If he hadn't been so tolerant, I wonder what you would have done," Mu Nujiao replied with a sideways glance.
Ai Tutu's eyes widened instantly as she said in disbelief, "Sister Mu, you're actually taking an outsider's side? Don't tell me you actually like that guy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Nujiao said angrily, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Hmph, hmph. I understand everything," Ai Tutu teased.
"Ai Tutu!"
...
After leaving the apartment building, Mu Nianbing immediately went to Pearl Institute to pick up Ye Xinxia.
Once he reached the dormitory, he gently lifted Ye Xinxia into a bridal carry.
As for the wheelchair, he used his Space Element to move it forward.
A month earlier, with the help of Guo Liyu, Mu Nianbing had successfully awakened the Space Element.
Although he was only at Beginner Level One, moving a wheelchair with telekinesis was effortless.
"Brother Nian, so many people are watching. You should put me down," Ye Xinxia said shyly as her small face turned bright red under the gazes of nearby students.
The real reason for the attention was Mu Nianbing casually pushing the wheelchair with his Space Element.
"Let them watch," Mu Nianbing replied calmly.
Ever since he defeated the fourth-ranked student on the Ice Ranking half a year ago, he had become quite famous within Pearl Institute.
Being surrounded by curious gazes was something he had already grown used to.
If his Space Element ever reached the High Level, he could simply teleport away with Ye Xinxia.
After returning to the apartment, Mu Nianbing carried Ye Xinxia straight to the bedroom on the second floor.
Ye Xinxia had already guessed what was coming and shyly buried her face in his chest.
Before long, Mu Nianbing gently placed her on the bed and skillfully removed her shoes.
"Brother Nian," Ye Xinxia murmured softly as her slender legs curled slightly.
Mu Nianbing leaned down and hugged her tightly, sharing a long and affectionate kiss.
After a while, Ye Xinxia's cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes looked slightly hazy.
Because of Ye Xinxia's delicate body, Mu Nianbing didn't go too far and soon stopped.
Later, Mu Nianbing sat in the living room and began meditating while planning his next steps.
The first thing he thought about was Xu Zhaoting's safety.
Xu Zhaoting was one of the few friends he had, and he absolutely could not allow the Black Vatican to harm him.
Although Mu Yuang was already dead, it was very likely that other members of the Black Vatican might still attempt something, so he had to prepare in advance.
Besides that, the most important task was improving his own strength.
Mu Nianbing had already fully controlled all 343 Star Particles of his Ice Element, while his Summoning Element was also approaching Middle-Level perfection.
Meanwhile, his contracted beast, the Cang Ming Flood Dragon, had already reached the Warrior Level.
As long as he could break through to High-Level Summoning Magic, the time required for the Cangming joa Flood Dragon to advance further would be significantly reduced.
More importantly, once his Summoning Element reached the High Level, he would gain an additional contract slot.
