If Brother Ningwei Is Here, I Have the Strength of a Hundred People!

Chapter 29: If Brother Ningwei Is Here, I Have the Strength of a Hundred People!

"Brother Ningwei is more important than votes."

Mu Nujiao said with a smile.

Mu Ningwei gently ruffled her hair. "I already know how the plague works. I'm planning to head into the wilderness. Want to come along?"

"Of course. Wherever Brother Ningwei goes, I'll go."

"Good. I can also protect you while you train in the wilderness. We'll set off now."

"Mm!"

Under the gazes of tens of thousands of teachers and students, Mu Nujiao followed behind Mu Ningwei step by step as they walked away.

Everyone was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Wait!"

Zhao Yuyu's eyes widened as she shouted frantically, "Mu Nujiao, aren't you going to challenge Hangcheng Academy?"

Mu Nujiao turned around with a light smile and called back, "We'll talk when I get back!"

"Y-you... What do you take Hangcheng Academy for?!"

"I don't mean to look down on anyone. I just don't want to waste the time I could spend with Brother Ningwei. You're Zhao Yuyu, right? I look forward to our next match. Make sure you're prepared then—don't get defeated so easily again. Bye-bye~"

Zhao Yuyu stared blankly as Mu Nujiao walked away, took Mu Ningwei's hand, then tipped her head up to whisper intimately in his ear. Her mouth fell open.

The tens of thousands of teachers and students stood frozen.

All the men collectively turned green with envy!

"Who's that pretty-boy? I want to duel him!"

"The aloof goddess already has someone? Don't tell me something like that!"

"Wuwuwu, I was already conquered by Goddess Mu's icy demeanor. I was just waiting for this challenge to end so I could pursue her, and now you're telling me Goddess Mu is only cold to us, while she's so gentle and adorable with another man! What's the point of living anymore?!"

"I'm miserable. The love that had just begun to bloom ended before it even started."

"Damn it, who is that man? I want all his information in three minutes!"

Mu Ningwei glanced back at the uproarious battle arena.

Mu Nujiao's cheeks reddened as she muttered softly:

"What are those people shouting about...?"

"My Nu Jiao is certainly charming."

Mu Nujiao's eyes sparkled. "Of course. Otherwise, how could I have won Brother Ningwei's affection?"

Hangcheng was not close to the White Demon Eagles' territory. After leaving the safe zone, Mu Ningwei rode the Dark Pseudo-Dragon at low altitude to make haste.

The draconic might of a true Commander-class creature radiated outward. Wherever it passed, demon hordes scattered, and no foolish demon dared provoke it.

After approaching the cliff where the White Demon Eagles lived, Mu Ningwei put away the Dark Pseudo-Dragon and continued on foot, explaining as he walked:

"White Demon Eagles are extremely vicious demons. Even if Commander-class demons fly over their territory, they'll attack in a frenzy, one after another, and bring them down."

"Below the White Demon Eagle cliff grows a kind of Red Eagle Grass that can suppress plague-tainted blood. Our task this time is to collect a batch of Red Eagle Grass."

Mu Nujiao stepped over a rock and asked curiously, "Can Red Eagle Grass cure the plague?"

"That's right. Councilman Luo Mian used fake tainted blood from Rat Demons to make counterfeit hemostatic medicine and sell it. Anyone who used that fake medicine would contract the plague. That's the source of the outbreak."

"How could he?! For profit, he harmed so many people!"

Mu Ningwei neither confirmed nor denied it. In his eyes, what Luo Mian had done was merely child's play.

Europe's version was far more "advanced" than what they had here. Sometimes, Mu Ningwei even wondered whether those people were demons or devils. In any case, they definitely were not human.

"Rat Demons are food for White Demon Eagles, and the White Demon Eagles rely on Red Eagle Grass to suppress the tainted blood. So as long as we gather enough Red Eagle Grass and destroy the counterfeit hemostatic medicine supply chain, the plague will naturally disappear."

Mu Nujiao put away her anger and said seriously, "Brother Ningwei, is the training task you've given me to find Red Eagle Grass?"

"That's right. I'll provide you with the locations of the Red Eagle Grass. You need to pick it without alerting the White Demon Eagles. Are you confident?"

Mu Nujiao took a soft breath.

"Although Red Eagle Grass is life-saving medicine for many people, I don't bear the responsibility of having to succeed."

"After all, harvesting Red Eagle Grass is just a trivial matter for Brother Ningwei."

"With Brother Ningwei here, that responsibility won't fall on me."

Mu Ningwei raised an eyebrow. "So?"

Mu Nujiao beamed. "So, because Brother Ningwei is watching me, I'll unleash a hundred times my strength!"

"There won't be any other factors mixed into it!"

"Please watch me closely. I'll give it everything I have and perfectly complete Brother Ningwei's task!"

Mu Ningwei was moved, struck right in the heart!

Mu Nujiao clasped her hands behind her back, bent forward, and leaned close. Raising her exquisite little face, she moved it before Mu Ningwei's.

"Hehe, I'd be very happy if Brother Ningwei gave me a kiss as a reward, you know?"

Mu Ningwei laughed, wrapped an arm around Mu Nujiao's slender waist, and lowered his head to kiss her lightly.

A moment later, their lips parted.

Mu Nujiao happily pursed her lips. "Then I'll start carrying out the mission!"

"You think you can run after teasing me?"

Mu Ningwei held her tight and did not let her leave. Under her surprised gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her again.

This time, he pried open someone's lips.

"Mmph..."

Mu Nujiao's pretty face turned pink, mist gathering in her eyes as she took the initiative to respond.

A moment later.

Mu Ningwei released Mu Nujiao.

"Go. I'll be watching you."

"Phew, phew~"

Mu Nujiao's chest rose and fell. Her moist, beautiful eyes were full of affection as she nodded obediently and spoke in a soft, tender voice:

"Brother Ningwei, when I finish the mission, I'll kiss you back, okay? You must wait expectantly."

After recovering some of her strength, Mu Nujiao resolutely set off along the route Mu Ningwei had provided.

Mu Ningwei watched his little girlfriend's graceful back. The shadow beneath him stirred, and one Worm Devourer after another descended, heading elsewhere to search for Red Eagle Grass.

"Go. Protect her well."

"Roar~~~"

The Dark Pseudo-Dragon used Shadow Escape, hiding within Mu Nujiao's shadow.

After finishing this, Mu Ningwei turned around and looked toward a patch of shadow tangled with weeds a hundred meters behind him.

"Come out, Luo Mian."

A goat-bearded old man emerged from the shadows.

It was Luo Mian, a Judgment Association councilman and a Super Tier mage!

The shadow beneath Mu Ningwei churned, and the light within dozens of meters around them dimmed. Tilting his head, he asked:

"How did you learn of my whereabouts?"

Luo Mian sighed. "The adjudicator who provided you with convenience is one of my men. He reported to me that after examining several patients, you went to pick up Mu Nujiao and left the safe zone."

"I immediately sensed something was wrong and followed you here."

"I never expected that while so many physicians in Hangcheng were helpless against the plague, you would so easily uncover its source and find Red Eagle Grass, an antidotal herb even I had failed to discover."

Mu Ningwei understood. "So that adjudicator was your man. Then, are you here to deal with us?"

The Shadow Element domain activated. Mu Ningwei immediately judged Luo Mian's capabilities through the Dark Magic elements on him.

Shadow Element, Super Tier Level Two. Curse Element, Super Tier Level Two.

Just right for testing the Light Element.

If magical fluctuations attracted the White Demon Eagles, he could deal with them together.

As Mu Ningwei thought this, a chill surfaced in his eyes.

"No, please don't misunderstand! How could an old bag of bones like me dare make a move against the Holy Knight of Eternal Darkness?"

Luo Mian gave an awkward smile.

He had called a friend at Parthenon.

At first, the other party had been unwilling to say much, seemingly wary of something.

But once he repeated the question Zhu Meng had asked, he struck a sore point. The other party immediately launched into an endless account of Mu Ningwei's glorious achievements.

He had also viciously cursed Parthenon's upper ranks for their inaction.

Luo Mian knew it was true that Mu Ningwei had captured a Ruler alive.

Before leaving, Mu Ningwei had even forcibly broken into Parthenon's divine mountain passage and released that Ruler. After causing such a huge incident, no one had dared stop him.

With that kind of strength and status, what could Luo Mian possibly use to fight Mu Ningwei to the death?

"Lord Mu, please spare me!"
