Cheng Xiao joined the cleanup mission as a Hunter Mage.
Besides the commission, there were naturally also hunter points.
It was just that even Cheng Xiao himself hadn't expected that this cleanup mission would allow him to directly advance to a Senior Hunter.
However, it was understandable, after all, the demons he hunted were more than what several teams combined had killed.
As for the other mage badge, it was proof issued by the Magic Association.
After Cheng Xiao confirmed that the mage badge and mage proof were fine, he put them away.
"Thank you."
"This is what you deserve." Zhan Kong waved his hand helplessly.
Cheng Xiao shrugged, knowing that Zhan Kong was unhappy about not being able to recruit him.
He didn't poke at the other party's sore spot and wisely left.
After the matters in Bo City were settled, Cheng Xiao had no reason to stay either.
After talking with Mo Fan that night, Cheng Xiao traveled to Shanghai with Mo Fan's family the next day.
On the high-speed train.
Ye Xin Xia sat beside Cheng Xiao and asked curiously:
"Cheng Xiao Gege, what are your plans for the future?"
"The future? First, I'll be a Hunter Mage for a year, and after earning enough resources, I'll apply to Mingzhu Academy." Cheng Xiao said.
Although he had only recently awakened, reaching the admission line for Mingzhu Academy within a year would still be easy.
"I also want to apply to Mingzhu Academy." Ye Xin Xia said.
Cheng Xiao was first stunned, then rubbed her little head:
"Keep it up, Xin Xia is so excellent, you will definitely be able to get into Mingzhu Academy too."
Ye Xin Xia was like a docile little kitten, enjoying Cheng Xiao's petting.
"I heard Mo Fan Gege say that many cities have specially prepared resettlement housing for us from Bo City."
"I don't plan on going to the resettlement housing. If I'm going to live somewhere, I should rent a place myself." Cheng Xiao said.
"Then can I stay with Cheng Xiao Gege?" Ye Xin Xia asked almost blurting it out.
After asking, even she herself was stunned, and two streaks of crimson appeared on her cheeks.
"Xin Xia, are you serious?" Cheng Xiao asked.
Ye Xin Xia's heart rate clearly sped up, and her expression was also embarrassed and flustered, but she still nodded and softly said "Mm."
"Have you asked Mo Fan and Uncle Mo?" Cheng Xiao asked with a serious expression.
"I asked yesterday, and they didn't have any objections."
Ye Xin Xia nodded, raised her tense and flustered beautiful eyes, and when they met Cheng Xiao's eyes, she quickly lowered them again.
"Since that's the case, what reason is there to refuse?"
Cheng Xiao reached out and pinched her flushed cheek, soothing her tense and shy emotions.
Hearing the answer, Ye Xin Xia was still a bit disbelieving.
Happiness came too quickly, like a tornado, leaving her unable to react immediately.
"Cheng Xiao Gege, do you really agree to me living with you?" Ye Xin Xia asked again cautiously.
"You've already taken the initiative to make such a request, I can't just leave you behind." Cheng Xiao said.
Ye Xin Xia didn't say anything else, she just gently leaned her head on Cheng Xiao's shoulder.
Just as Ye Xin Xia said, the Mo family father and son had no objections to her idea.
Mo Fan was somewhat unhappy, but thinking that Cheng Xiao could take better care of Xin Xia, he could only let Xin Xia leave.
"Cheng Xiao Gege, where are we going next?" Ye Xin Xia asked.
"While on the high-speed train, I looked at a few places. Since we don't have luggage anyway, let's go directly to see them." Cheng Xiao said.
"Mm, I'll listen to Cheng Xiao Gege."
.
Cheng Xiao said they were houses, but after arriving, Ye Xin Xia felt that "house" couldn't describe them; they should be called large villas!
Having been used to living in small bungalows, Ye Xin Xia suddenly having to live in a large villa instantly felt unreal.
"This one is good, it's spacious enough for Yegret to move around easily."
Cheng Xiao's first requirement for renting a place was that it be high and wide enough.
Otherwise, when summoning Shadow Soldiers indoors, it would be easy to damage the house.
After looking at a few villas, the large villa of several hundred square meters that Cheng Xiao finally chose met the requirements.
Cheng Xiao could also accept the price; he directly paid six hundred thousand, covering a full year's rent.
For Cheng Xiao, who had assets exceeding a hundred million, this amount of money was insignificant, not to mention that he could earn even more resources in the future.
"Young man, you're handsome and pay readily, no wonder your girlfriend is so beautiful." The landlady beamed with a smile.
Hearing the words "girlfriend," Ye Xin Xia subconsciously looked at Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao did not refute this, he just exchanged a few simple pleasantries with the landlady.
After the landlady left, Cheng Xiao took Xin Xia to buy some daily necessities.
The facilities inside the villa were very complete, no need to worry at all.
But the necessary daily necessities were only finished being bought by night.
After eating dinner and coming back to tidy up, it was already past midnight.
"Cheng Xiao Gege, can you sleep with me?" After taking a shower, Ye Xin Xia said this with a blushing face.
"Okay, then you go to bed and wait for me."
Cheng Xiao didn't show too many emotions, but when he went to the bathroom to take a bath, his face was full of helplessness.
"This little girl, has she forgotten that she's not an adult yet? She's practically forcing someone to commit a crime."
Cheng Xiao shook his head helplessly.
He clearly remembered that Ye Xin Xia was one year younger than him, and he himself had only just become an adult not long ago.
After finishing his bath.
Cheng Xiao agreed to Ye Xin Xia's request and shared a bed with her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, sleep peacefully." Cheng Xiao gently comforted her.
"Mm, Cheng Xiao Gege, good night~~"
Cheng Xiao hugged Ye Xin Xia from behind. The latter clearly had other thoughts, but didn't dare to actually act on them.
After a period of internal psychological struggle, Ye Xin Xia's sleepiness grew stronger, and she fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up the next morning.
Ye Xin Xia slept exceptionally soundly, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, though she wasn't discouraged.
Although Cheng Xiao Gege didn't do anything to her yesterday, he held her while she slept all night.
This should already be considered significant progress, right?
If things could continue like this, it should only be a matter of time before Cheng Xiao Gege made a move on her.
After finishing breakfast.
"Xin Xia, I need to go find work. You should be fine staying home alone, right?" Cheng Xiao asked.
Ye Xin Xia puffed out her pink cheeks and said discontentedly:
"Cheng Xiao Gege, I'm not little anymore, why do you always treat me like a child?"
Cheng Xiao's gaze subconsciously lowered a few degrees.
She was indeed not small anymore, but Xin Xia's words probably also implied a complaint about him only holding her and not doing anything yesterday.
"I wonder who used to cry when staying home alone." Cheng Xiao teased.
Ye Xin Xia's face instantly turned "swish" red.
Having her embarrassing past brought up by Cheng Xiao Gege in person was so shameful.
"I'm leaving."
Before leaving, Cheng Xiao left four Shadow Demon Wolves in the villa.
If anything unexpected happened, these four Demon Wolves would be enough to protect Xin Xia's safety.
