Chapter 39: I Won't Let You Be Jealous
Hangcheng Academy.
The Great Arena, capable of holding 50,000 people, was packed to the brim.
The students and teachers of Hangcheng Academy alone certainly couldn't fill so many seats.
There were many outsiders here to watch the excitement.
This was the fourth day Mu Nujiao had been challenging Hangcheng Academy consecutively.
After the warm-up days, Mu Nujiao's name had already spread throughout Hangcheng.
Her popularity had skyrocketed even further after it was revealed that she was the sister of Mu Ningwei, the one who discovered Red Eagle Grass and solved Hangcheng's plague.
Many members of society and Mages had come to witness this rare spectacle.
They were full of goodwill towards the great hero's sister. Even though their own academy was being trampled underfoot, Mu Nujiao would receive thunderous cheers every time she extended her winning streak.
Even the students and teachers of Hangcheng Academy, having been proven wrong by Mu Nujiao so many times, had developed a good impression of her under the influence of the public.
Many students regarded Mu Nujiao as the number one goddess of Hangcheng Academy!
"Today's lineup is a luxurious one featuring Zhao Yuyu, Liu Yilin, Song Xuanfei, Lu Shizheng, Liu Yu... all the strongest geniuses under 20 years old!"
"They couldn't defeat her in a series of one-on-one battles, so now they're ganging up on her?"
"Goddess Mu has a Pseudo-Terror Demon at the Advancing Period General level. Even a senior student who was a High-level Mage lost yesterday. If they all go up together, it might actually be interesting."
"If she loses even after this, Hangcheng Academy will be utterly disgraced in front of Goddess Mu."
The battle commenced.
Mu Nujiao was treated like a boss, targeted by a coordinated assault.
The Pseudo-Terror Demon's presence was indeed like that of a boss, but it was ultimately unable to hold its ground alone and was defeated by Hangcheng Academy's team of top geniuses.
Liu Yilin wiped away sweat and smiled gently, "Goddess Mu, you're finally going to lose."
"Is that so?"
Mu Nujiao stretched her limbs, her fighting spirit surging. "You've finally gotten past the Pseudo-Terror Demon, allowing me to use my full strength."
"Bell Demon Seed · Ghost Wood Hand!"
Her Plant Element Constellation was constructed and released in just one second, its brilliant and powerful emerald starlight shining dazzlingly.
Zhao Yuyu and the others stared in disbelief, looking as if they had seen a ghost:
"You-you're a High-level Mage!?"
Mu Nujiao was only 19 years old!
"Take this!"
Beneath Mu Nujiao's feet, thousands of demon vines converged into a giant demonic claw, sweeping across the entire arena. It resembled the arm of an ancient giant god, crushing everything in its path!
Zhao Yuyu and the others unleashed their magic, but all of it was crushed by the Ghost Wood Hand. It wasn't until a teacher from Hangcheng Academy cast Water Splendor Sky Curtain that the Ghost Wood Hand was finally stopped.
This also signified that Mu Nujiao had defeated all of Hangcheng Academy's geniuses!
Whoosh!
"Goddess Mu is actually a High-level Mage!"
"Goddess Mu! Goddess Mu! Goddess Mu!"
"Wife, I think I'm in love. I have a disease where I'll die if I don't see Goddess Mu—Ahhh, don't bite me!"
"I want to be Goddess Mu's dog!"
Mu Nujiao let out a long breath, feeling refreshed.
Normally, having only recently broken through to High-level, she wouldn't be able to cast High-level magic.
But who could blame her when she had a doting Brother Ningwei who cast Fast Casting Blessing upon her?
Although it felt a bit unfair to win this way.
Mu Nujiao could have used the Constellation Book to release the Ghost Wood Hand while the Pseudo-Terror Demon was just starting to falter and still had some fight left in it.
Mu Nujiao hadn't done so, wanting to borrow Mu Ningwei's strength to achieve victory.
This feeling of fighting side-by-side with Mu Ningwei was the best!
"We lost..."
Zhao Yuyu gave a wry smile. "I admit defeat, Mu Nujiao. I didn't expect you to already be a High-level Mage."
Mu Nujiao nodded politely. "You were all very good too."
This was the last match, and her goal of gaining fame had been achieved. She could go back to accompany Brother Ningwei now!
As Mu Nujiao prepared to leave, Liu Yilin stopped her.
"Goddess Mu, please be my girlfriend!"
Liu Yilin knelt on one knee, presenting a bouquet of roses, and earnestly shouted:
"I swear I will love you with all my heart, I swear I will—"
"Stop, stop!"
Mu Nujiao skillfully refused, "Sorry, you don't meet my requirements."
In the past few days, Mu Nujiao had already rejected several suitors.
Liu Yilin was unwilling, "Goddess Mu, can you tell me your requirements?"
"At least be stronger than me."
Liu Yilin was petrified.
Mu Nujiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled brilliantly at the distance, "And I have a boyfriend, he's here to pick me up now. Goodbye."
As soon as Mu Ningwei walked into the fighting arena, he saw Mu Nujiao being pursued, and his brow twitched slightly.
"Brother Ningwei!"
Under everyone's gaze, Mu Nujiao ran in front of Mu Ningwei, put her hands on her hips, and giggled:
"Am I charming? Are you jealous?"
"Although I really want to see Brother Ningwei jealous for me, he must be very cute... but I decisively rejected all my suitors."
Mu Ningwei rubbed her head, "I just feel a little... peculiar."
This was the first time someone had pursued the person he liked in front of him.
Ash Riya was also very popular, but she was usually protected by Golden Knights when she went out. As a noble Saintess, even a prince of a kingdom would not dare to pursue her.
Mu Nujiao's eyes flickered. She felt that asking for a kiss at this moment would be very romantic, but she was a little shy about doing it in public...
She'd get a kiss when they got home!
"Brother Ningwei, are your old friends arriving?"
"Yes, let's go to the airport."
"Okay."
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Yilin ran over, frowning at Mu Ningwei:
"Goddess Mu, aren't you siblings? I know about the hero Mu Ningwei, you're just using your brother as a shield to reject me, right?"
Mu Nujiao was speechless, "Please don't flatter yourself."
"Hero Mu Ningwei is just a physician, how could he be stronger than you, a High-level Mage? You must be lying to me."
"?"
Mu Nujiao was slightly stunned.
Mu Ningwei's expression was strange.
Zhao Yuyu, who had followed them, was exasperated and grabbed Liu Yilin, "Idiot, do you know what nonsense you're spouting!"
Liu Yilin was confused, realizing that classmates, teachers, and even ordinary people were looking at him with angry, surprised, or pitying eyes.
"...What's wrong with me?"
Zhao Yuyu laughed in exasperation, "He is Lord Mu Ningwei! Didn't you see the announcement from the Magic Association this morning? He was the one who killed the Silver Sky Lord, routed the White Demon Eagle tribe, and saved our city!"
"He is everyone's savior!"
Liu Yilin was shocked, looking at Mu Ningwei's excessively young face, "Him?"
Zhao Yuyu ignored this idiot and ran to Mu Ningwei with shining eyes, her pretty face flushed with excitement:
"Lord Mu Ningwei, I'm your fan! Can you give me an autograph?"
Mu Ningwei smiled, "Sure, where should I sign?"
Zhao Yuyu looked at herself, wearing a crop top and hip-hugging pants, and it seemed there was nowhere to sign?
Her face turned red, and she pointed to her chest, leaning forward, "Lord Mu Ningwei, can you sign here?"
"Okay."
"Really?"
Zhao Yuyu was overjoyed.
Mu Nujiao's eyes widened, and her lips pouted, "Brother Ningwei?"
Mu Ningwei smiled, condensed the Light Element, and imprinted his name on Zhao Yuyu's clothes from a distance. He then grabbed Mu Nujiao's arm and vanished into the shadows.
In the fighting arena, tens of thousands of people who wanted autographs let out sighs of regret, looking at Zhao Yuyu with envy and jealousy.
Zhao Yuyu was smug.
In the darkness, Mu Ningwei hugged Mu Nujiao's waist and gently kissed her lips.
"Don't worry, I won't let you get jealous."
"Let's leave here quickly. I can't appear in public in Hangcheng right now, or I'll be surrounded by admirers asking for autographs."
Mu Nujiao nodded with a sweet smile:
"Let's go, Brother Ningwei, to meet your old friends."
At this moment, Ash Riya was on her way.
