Refusing Ningwei Will Lead to Death

Chapter 32: Refusing Ningwei Will Get You Killed

"Leng Qing, how is it? Did he agree?"

Tang Yue hurried over, grabbed Leng Qing's hand, and asked urgently.

Leng Qing was absent-minded when she left Mu Ningwei's room, spacing out for a full two seconds. Snapping back to reality, she smiled and squeezed Tang Yue's hand back, reassuring her:

"Ningwei agreed. He promised to help the Mystic Snake."

Tang Yue was overjoyed, "That's great!"

Leng Qing gently comforted her, "Mhm, Ningwei is a very capable person. Don't let his youth fool you; he always keeps his promises and does things well. You can rest assured."

"Leng Qing, I don't even know how to thank you!"

Tang Yue was so moved she teared up. She opened her arms and hugged Leng Qing tightly, sobbing softly.

In the past few days, the Mystic Snake was willing to die to save her life, and public opinion was furious, with the entire internet cursing the Mystic Snake as a menace.

Tang Yue was powerless and couldn't do anything, making her feel incredibly tormented.

Fortunately, with Mu Ningwei's help now, everything would get better!

It's just...

Tang Yue looked at the gentle-faced Leng Qing with teary eyes.

"You must have paid a great price to get Mu Ningwei to act, right? After all, he'll be going up against Zhu Meng."

"Whatever the price, Leng Qing, tell me, and I'll pay it for you."

Leng Qing's expression became even gentler. "Ningwei didn't ask for any reward. He's truly a good person, don't overthink it."

"He was just scaring you earlier, hoping you wouldn't be so impulsive in the future."

Tang Yue didn't believe it.

Mu Ningwei couldn't even be persuaded by the Star River Veins and Soul Seed, and he disdained her and the Tang Family. That kind of inherent arrogance didn't seem fake at all.

He genuinely looked down on her and the Tang Family.

How could such a person help her against Zhu Meng without asking for any reward?

Tang Yue's eyes were filled with worry. "Leng Qing, tell me the truth. What was the reward for getting him to agree?"

Leng Qing sighed helplessly, "Just a favor."

"Really?"

"Really."

Tang Yue suddenly burst into tears, "Wuwuwu, Leng Qing, I'm so sorry!"

"You're willing to sacrifice so much for me. I'm such a terrible person, wuwuwu..."

Leng Qing was stunned. Realizing what Tang Yue meant, she pushed her away with exasperated amusement, "Don't get your snot on me. Do you really think I'm some immortal beauty?"

"How could someone be willing to offend a powerful Council Member, and even the Forbidden Court behind him, just to date me?"

Tang Yue was dumbfounded, "Then, then..."

Leng Qing sighed helplessly, "Alright, stop thinking so much. I have a good impression of Ningwei. If he wanted to date me, he could have just asked, and I would have been willing to give it a try. There was no need to go through all this trouble."

"Ah..."

Tang Yue's brain couldn't keep up. After a moment of system shutdown, she decisively gave up thinking and, through her tears, broke into a smile:

"Then let's hurry and notify Uncle to prepare to rescue the Mystic Snake!"

"No rush."

Leng Qing soothed her, "Ningwei is accompanying his sister Mu Nujiao to celebrate tonight. He said he can deal with Zhu Meng tomorrow, so we'll act according to his instructions."

Tang Yue was shocked, "Ah? He's going to face Zhu Meng alone?"

"Mhm, Ningwei is very confident."

"Is he really that powerful... Could it be he has the Parthenon's backing? Or is he highly valued by the Mu Family's higher-ups? That's right, such a young genius, and a male at that, he's probably the Mu Family's designated next patriarch."

Leng Qing mused, "He brought two major opportunities to the Mu Family before. Now that you mention it, it's quite possible."

Tang Yue felt guilty, "If the Mu Family's higher-ups are involved in this, how big of a favor will you owe him, Leng Qing?"

Leng Qing smiled helplessly, "Yeah, I owe him more and more. I have no idea how I'll ever repay him."

Leng Qing suddenly envied Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao could follow Mu Ningwei without any reservations, accepting his kindness and even pampering, without having to worry about anything else.

After all, they were family.

Leng Qing also wished she had a reliable man like that as family!

Leng Qing's parents divorced when she was young. Her father was a hunter mage who was always on the road and had completely disappeared some time ago.

She truly envied Mu Nujiao!

The next day, 8 AM.

There were 6 hours left until the execution of the Mystic Snake.

Zhu Meng dispatched the court mages he brought to set up a lightning magic array at West Lake. Standing on the elevated platform, he surveyed the beautiful, clear scenery, feeling a sense of openness.

Soon, he would be able to judge a Monarch-level Demonic Beast within the city, solving this menace for the people!

Zhu Meng didn't have ulterior motives.

Although the trial of the Mystic Snake would bring him great fame for his Theory of Demonic Beast Hidden Dangers, leading to a promotion in his career.

Zhu Meng's targeting of the Mystic Snake was truly for the citizens of Hangcheng, believing this uncontrolled Monarch-level Demonic Beast posed a significant threat.

"Zhu Meng, you're here."

Zhu Meng turned around and laughed heartily, "Luo Mian, the plague in Hangcheng is gone, thanks to you and Mu Ningwei. I will speak of your achievements before Chairman Pang Lai."

Luo Mian stroked his beard and smiled, "It's mainly Mu Ningwei's prowess. By the way, Mu Ningwei wants to meet with you."

Zhu Meng's smile faded, and he let out a soft snort, "The Tang Family is out of options and wants him to persuade me? Heh, a child. I do respect him for saving the citizens of Hangcheng."

"But he is still young, believing whatever the Tang Family says, wanting to be a lobbyist for the Mystic Snake? He's too naive."

Luo Mian's eyes held a strange look as he coughed lightly, "In any case, Zhu Meng, go meet him. Also, it would be best to show him some respect."

Zhu Meng nodded, "He annihilated the Black Pepper Court headquarters in Magic City, exposed that foolish idiot Song He, and now he's saved the citizens of Hangcheng. I also want to meet him."

After returning, Zhu Meng had someone investigate Mu Ningwei's background.

Those outrageous rumors from Europe could be treated as a joke.

But everything Mu Ningwei had done since returning to the country had benefited society.

Zhu Meng thought highly of this junior.

Luo Mian clicked his tongue but said nothing, "Here's the address. He's waiting for you in a private room at this hotel."

"Alright, I'll go take a look. Please stay and oversee things here."

Zhu Meng arrived at the hotel's private room.

Mu Ningwei stood up to greet him, "Council Member Zhu Meng, please have a seat."

Zhu Meng's attitude was friendly, "Mu Ningwei, on behalf of all the patients and families who have been saved, I thank you."

He then bowed.

Mu Ningwei felt a surge of Faith Power and was somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, "It's what I should do. Council Member Zhu Meng, please be seated quickly."

"Okay."

Gurgle.

A dining cart was pushed in, and a European classical mature woman of exquisite beauty elegantly plated the dishes.

Zhu Meng glanced at the beautiful mature woman in surprise, not expecting this hotel to have waitstaff of such caliber!

She was stunningly beautiful and carried herself with elegance. Why would someone so pretty be a waitress? If she went to the entrance of an academy, there would be plenty of wealthy young masters willing to take her in...

Zhu Meng didn't pay much attention and said to Mu Ningwei, "You're here to persuade me to let the Mystic Snake go, aren't you."

Mu Ningwei nodded, "Yes. I'm giving the Imperial Palace a face, and also because you genuinely care for the people. Let's put this matter to rest."

Zhu Meng was bewildered. These were indeed Chinese words, but he didn't understand them.

Did Mu Ningwei mean he wanted Zhu Meng to give him face and spare the Mystic Snake?

Zhu Meng shook his head and refused:

"The Mystic Snake is a menace. I'm afraid I cannot agree to your request."

"Mu Ningwei, I think very highly of you. I hope you can—"

Icy sharp claws gripped his throat.

Zhu Meng's pupils dilated, his body went cold, and his eyes were filled with terror!

That stunning waitress was smiling, exuding an aura that made even Super Tier Mages tremble. It was an oppression of life levels.

She was a Demonic Beast!

She was a Monarch!!

Marquis Feiyi's claws hovered before Zhu Meng's throat. She covered her mouth and chuckled, her scarlet eyes cold and ferocious:

"Little one, do you know what you just said?"

"Refusing My King means death~"

Mu Ningwei calmly picked up some food and tasted it, praising with a smile:

"Feiyi, your cooking has improved again."

Feiyi's coldness dissipated from her eyes. She placed a hand on her chest and bowed, "As long as My King likes it."

Zhu Meng: "..."

Zhu Meng: "!!!"
