7: Chapter 7 City Lord, I can't teach the young master anymore!

Night falls.

The Lu family villa is brightly lit.

The massive crystal chandelier casts a brilliant light, illuminating the entire dining room as if it were day.

The table is laden with sumptuous dishes.

Australian Grade 5 Lobster, steamed Grade 7 Emperor Crab, charcoal-grilled Grade 6 Magic Bull ribs, thick soup boiled from Grade 6 tendon meat...

In the center of the table are over a dozen exquisite jade boxes.

These are all rare treasures urgently brought in from all over the country today.

A single one of these would be enough for an ordinary professional to strive for a lifetime.

Li Muyao sits by the dining table, looking toward the door from time to time, her face full of worry.

"It's already so late, why hasn't Little Yuan returned yet?"

"The wild is so dangerous, what if something happens?"

City Lord Lu Feng puts down the newspaper in his hand and comforts her:

"Don't worry, Bai Zhi is with him, what could happen?"

"Besides, you know our son's personality. If there's even the slightest danger, he runs faster than anyone."

Li Muyao glares at him.

"Is that any way to talk about your son?"

However, she secretly hopes her son can continue to maintain this 'merit'.

...

A few dozen minutes later, the sound of a car engine comes from outside.

Li Muyao stands up abruptly and walks quickly toward the door.

City Lord Lu Feng also puts down his newspaper and follows.

The main door opens.

Lu Yuan walks in holding the fast-asleep Slime.

Seeing his parents waiting at the door, he pauses.

"Dad, Mom, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

Li Muyao looks her son up and down.

Seeing that he is clean, without even a speck of dust on him, she finally exhales in relief.

"You child, why are you back so late?"

"Are you tired?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Are you hurt?"

Lu Yuan feels a warmth in his heart.

"Mom, I'm fine."

"I just went to the beginner area to level up. With Sister Bai Zhi and the others protecting me, it was very safe."

Li Muyao looks at Bai Zhi and the other four behind him.

"You've all worked hard, come in and sit. Dinner is still warm, let's eat together. No one is allowed to refuse."

The five of them walk into the villa with some restraint.

Seeing the items emitting brilliant golden light on the table, all five are stunned.

You call this dinner?

These are clearly rare treasures laid out on the plates.

This level of luxury...

One can only say, as expected of the Lu family.

Just as Lu Yuan sits down, the Slime in his arms, which was fast asleep, suddenly moves.

Its little nose twitches hard, and drool 'splats' right down.

Then it suddenly opens its eyes, sees the food on the table, and its eyes instantly light up.

'Holy crap!!!'

'Is this heaven?!'

'Master, Master, put me down quickly!'

'I want to eat! I want to eat that! And that! I want that too!'

The Slime twists its body wildly, wishing it could pounce directly onto the table.

Lu Yuan slaps it on the head.

"Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Can you have some dignity?"

The Slime gets angry.

'You were lying down doing nothing all day!'

'This King Slime has been blowing up monsters all day, of course I'm hungry!'

Lu Yuan raises an eyebrow: "Oh, you dare talk back?"

"Looks like you've really gotten cocky."

"Do you believe I'll take all this away right now?"

The Slime wilts instantly.

The anger in its little eyes turns to grievance in a second. Its two short arms hug Lu Yuan's arm, shaking it frantically.

'Master, I was wrong!'

'You are the best!'

'You are the best Master in the whole world!'

'Let me eat a bite, just one bite!'

This glutton would absolutely sacrifice all principles for a bite of food.

As soon as Lu Yuan lets go, the Slime zooms onto the table.

It starts devouring.

Soon, the Slime's body visibly expands.

Bai Zhi can only suppress the shock in her heart.

She seems to know why this Slime is so abnormal...

As expected, the Summoner is a pay-to-win class!

As long as you spend enough money, even a Slime can beat up a dragon.

Li Muyao and City Lord Lu Feng also sense Lu Yuan's level.

They didn't expect their son to reach Level 5 on the very day of his awakening.

It seems their son's 'special ability' is very strong!

Li Muyao forcibly suppresses the excitement in her heart and looks at Bai Zhi and the others.

"You've worked hard today."

"Little Yuan being able to reach Level 5 so quickly is thanks to your care."

"Eat up. Since I've asked you to stay, I consider you one of our own. Don't be polite, let's eat together."

Bai Zhi waves her hand hurriedly.

"Madam, you are too kind. This is what we should do."

"What should be done must also be rewarded." Li Muyao points to the jade boxes on the table.

"One portion each, consider it a small token of my appreciation."

The eyes of the five light up instantly.

They are actually all Level 5 rare treasures!

That's equivalent to what they earn in millions in a day!

As expected of the Madam, she is truly generous!

Knowing the Madam's personality, they don't dare refuse.

They quickly stand up and thank her respectfully.

City Lord Lu Feng picks up his teacup, takes a sip, and looks at Bai Zhi.

"Bai Zhi, I'll have to trouble you in the future to teach Little Yuan more about the Summoner class."

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashes across Bai Zhi's face.

She is silent for two seconds, then suddenly stands up and bows deeply to City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao.

"City Lord, Madam, please forgive me."

"Young Master... I really can't teach him anymore."

As the words fall, the dining room instantly goes quiet.

City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao's hearts suddenly jump into their throats.

Can't teach him anymore?

What does that mean?

Is their son too useless?

Too dull?

Or is it that the Self-destruct ability he bestowed upon the Slime doesn't have much potential?

Li Muyao looks at Bai Zhi.

"Bai Zhi, are you under pressure?"

She instinctively thinks Bai Zhi is afraid of not being able to teach Lu Yuan well, which is why she said that.

After all, Lu Yuan's status is what it is; if she doesn't teach him well, it would indeed be hard to explain.

City Lord Lu Feng also puts down his teacup, his expression grave.

He has already prepared himself mentally.

If his son really isn't suitable for combat, then he'll just continue to lie flat.

Anyway, the Lu family can afford to support him.

Bai Zhi pauses, then realizes her words were ambiguous.

She quickly explains:

"No, City Lord, that's not what I meant!"

"I mean, the Young Master is too amazing. I am simply not qualified to teach a genius like the Young Master!"

City Lord Lu Feng: ???

Li Muyao: ???

A genius?

You say my son is a genius?

You have to know, Bai Zhi was once specially admitted to 'Qingbei University'.

She is ranked highly across the country.

Although there were some accidents later, she is still a genius among geniuses.

Being able to get this evaluation from her is not simple.

City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao's eyes light up.

As expected, their son's 'mutated class' has some merit after all.

Bai Zhi stands up and says very seriously:

"City Lord, Madam, the Young Master's Slime is the most abnormal Magic Pet I have ever seen."

"The Young Master being able to reach Level 5 today relies entirely on his own strength. We only attracted monsters and accelerated the leveling process."

City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao suppress the shock in their hearts.

They look at Lu Yuan simultaneously.

Lu Yuan smiles slightly, giving his parents a look that says 'you know'.

A life with cheats doesn't need explanation.

The Slime's cheeks are a bit flushed, twisting its body.

'Oh my, stop praising me, it's so embarrassing, hahaha...'

'I'm not as amazing as you say.'

'It's all because Master is amazing...'

Subsequently, the Slime's train of thought suddenly turns.

'However... having an amazing Master is also part of a Magic Pet's strength, right?'

'That's right!'

'Master and I are both truly amazing!'

Thinking about it, it becomes smug again.

'That's right, I am that one-in-a-million Slime genius!'

'If heaven did not produce me, King Slime, the Slime race would be like an endless night through the ages!'

After speaking, it continues to bury its head and eat frantically.

Bai Zhi: "..."

City Lord Lu Feng: "..."

Li Muyao: "..."

Li Muyao turns to look at Lu Yuan, her expression complex.

"Son, is there something wrong with your Slime's brain?"
