Reunion After a Year and a Half

Chapter 12 Reunion a Year and a Half Later

"Phew~" Ling Tianyu let out a long breath, the hot air condensing into water mist in the cold wind and drifting away.

During the winter break, Ling Tianyu's life consisted of three simple routines: home, cultivating his relationship with Ye Xinxia, ​​and practicing martial arts in the park. His life was unpretentious and monotonous.

Recently, Ling Tianyu noticed that his cultivation progress had slowed down, and burying himself in intensive training was probably not a good idea. A mage's duty is to hunt demons and protect the city. If he cultivates steadily without any real combat experience, his cultivation will ultimately be limited. Even if his cultivation is high, it will eventually be nothing more than a showy facade.

"Looks like it's time to put the city's monster-hunting team on the agenda!"

Ling Tianyu thought to himself.

Ling Tianyu's home is right next to the Mu family manor. Since when, the house, which looks like a European Western-style manor, has been surrounded by a fence more than two meters high, dividing the inside and outside of the enclosure into two worlds.

Inside, people laughed and chatted, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, while outside, people toiled for a living, content to live below others, working diligently, yet unable to escape the fate of their generation.

Speaking of which, I have to admire Mo Fan. Ling Tianyu did have parents who were mid-level mages, and even though they were gone, their influence still protected the two of them and allowed them to live a peaceful life. Even Mu Zhuoyun, the local tyrant of Bo City, wouldn't dare to easily provoke Ling Tianyu's family.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, started from the bottom and fought his way up through thorns and brambles. His life seemed to be full of joy and revenge, but every step he took was extremely dangerous. In the original work, he was able to elope with the eldest daughter of the Mu family when he was young. Such outstanding courage alone is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

"Boom boom boom~~"

Inside the Mu family manor, the roar of car engines could be heard. Ling Tianyu turned his head and saw an extremely luxurious car parked next to the manor. The servants in the manor were all busy and bustling about.

"I guess some important person has arrived again?" Ling Tianyu didn't want to pay attention, but he heard the whispers of two gardeners beside him.

"Old Zhou, what's all this commotion about?" asked a man with a burly face and stubble.

"You don't know this, do you? I only heard about it yesterday. The eldest daughter of the Mu family is coming back. We'll probably have to throw a welcome party for her!" Another gardener, who was thin, replied.

"Mu Ningxue, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, the number one genius in Bo City?"

"It's her. Sigh, she awakened to self-discovery at only fourteen and was exceptionally admitted to a prestigious university in the capital. When will my daughter have such talent!"

…………

"Mu Ningxue?" Ling Tianyu's mind stirred slightly, and sure enough, he saw a slender leg step out from the back seat of a luxury car not far away, followed by Mu Ningxue's youthful figure.

Her figure was proud and aloof, her snow-white trench coat accentuating her captivating physique, and her long, silver hair cascaded down like silk. The only slight flaw was the perpetually icy expression on her face, making her seem like an untouchable goddess of ice.

"It's been a year and a half since we last met. I didn't expect this girl to become even more alluring!" Ling Tianyu thought to himself. Since Mu Ningxue was admitted to the Imperial Capital University, their meetings had been limited to video calls on their phones. This time, they could finally meet in person.

Mu Ningxue was a lively girl when she was little. The way she innocently called Ling Tianyu "brother" was incredibly cute.

Everything changed when she turned fourteen. At the prime of her youth, while other girls her age were radiating youthful energy, the icy effects of the Ice Crystal Bow made her suffer terribly. She endured it silently at night, feeling utterly alone, and her heart gradually froze. Her long silver hair was a side effect of the icy corrosion.

If this crucial time point is missed, it will be even more difficult to enter Mu Ningxue's heart in the future. This was the case for Mo Fan in the original timeline. In the early stages, Mu Ningxue's feelings for Mo Fan were just ordinary childhood affection. Mo Fan rushed over, hoping to bite into the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, but he was met with a cold shoulder. Mu Ningxue didn't even give him a second glance.

In the end, it took more than a thousand chapters for him to give up his own interests for Mu Ningxue on many occasions. From awakening his demonic brute force to fight against the giant lizard pseudo-dragon during his wilderness training, to taking the initiative to withdraw from the National Academy training team to stand up for her, and even fighting against the behemoth Mu family for Mu Ningxue, he finally managed to win her heart and achieve a happy ending.

Fortunately, the ending was quite happy. The two of them, together with Ye Xinxia, ​​broke the rule of the Holy City. Mo Fan stepped into the realm of half-step magic god, Mu Ningxue achieved the forbidden spell, and Fanxue Mountain became a top global power.

As a transmigrator, Ling Tianyu possessed the advantage of foresight and would not repeat the same mistakes. When Mu Zhuoyun angrily cut off Mu Ningxue's contact with commoners, Ling Tianyu secretly gave Mu Ningxue his phone number. Their underground friendship became their tacit secret and Mu Ningxue's only warmth when she was suffering from icy erosion.

Mu Zhuoyun's fence inadvertently became a catalyst for their relationship.

Mu Ningxue's personality change was ultimately irreversible; Ling Tianyu successfully entered her heart before it was frozen and devoid of romantic feelings. To outsiders, she was cold and aloof, but to Ling Tianyu, she seemed unchanged, still that little girl.

When Mu Ningxue arrived in the capital, facing unfamiliar surroundings, Ling Tianyu was always there to support her. The distance in time and space did not diminish the bond between them.

The signing message has arrived; it's almost time to sign!
