If Only the Blue Bat Was Here

Chapter 43: If Only Blue Bat Were Here, We Could...

Mu Nujiao tilted her head, "That's a strange question..."

"I'd be very happy if Brother Ningwei wanted to protect me for a lifetime. As for protecting Brother Ningwei, if you need it, I'll definitely do my best."

"But I'll never 'urgently' think about how to protect Brother Ningwei."

"Hee hee, I'll only 'urgently' think about how to ask Brother Ningwei for kisses!"

"Hmm, in the future, perhaps it won't just be asking for kisses..."

Mu Ningwei looked at Mu Nujiao's shy and loving expression, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips to hers.

Provoked by her straightforward declaration, Mu Ningwei desired Mu Nujiao even more, wanting to witness the beautiful scenery of her blooming completely.

He suppressed the heat rising within him.

Since Mu Nujiao wasn't ready yet, he was willing to continue waiting, to give her the most romantic memory.

Unfortunately, Blue Bat wasn't around right now.

Ten-plus days later.

The power of faith provided by Hangcheng weakened, tending towards stabilization.

Mu Ningwei decided to take Mu Nujiao and Fei Yi with him.

If they needed the power of faith later, they could come to Hangcheng for a tour and blessings, donate some money, do good deeds, and with the promotion from various parties, they could collect a large amount of faith again.

Leng Qing, upon hearing the news, decided to return with them.

The higher-ups of Hangcheng and the elders of the Mu Family had already conducted an initial investigation of the White Demon Eagle tribe's territory. Hearing that Mu Ningwei was leaving, they hurried over to see him off.

"Ningwei, after returning to the clan, be sure to find the Family Head and have him reward you. This time, our Mu Family has opened up the White Demon Eagle tribe's territory, gaining a full 40% of the profits, all thanks to you."

Mu Xun, Mu Yu Nan's father, valued Mu Ningwei greatly, already viewing him as the future pillar of the Mu Family. He placed a treasure into Mu Ningwei's hand.

"This is a Super Tier Shield Magic Tool that I had someone exchange for with some of our resources."

"I know ordinary magic tools are no longer helpful to you, and Super Tier magic tools are hard to come by. I only have this much influence, so please don't dislike it, Ningwei!"

"Don't be so reckless in the future. I just hope this magic tool can be of some help to you."

"Come, Nujiao, there's something for you too. I've heard about your performance at the Hangcheng Academy, you've brought honor to our Mu Family!"

Mu Ningwei and Mu Nujiao smiled as they accepted the gifts from their elder.

Tang Zhong presented a portion of resources and a letter, saying with a smile:

"Mu Ningwei, on behalf of Hangcheng, I thank you! This is the 'Night Sky Crystal' you needed, and also a vote from Hangcheng!"

"I heard you already have two votes, and Dean Xiao got you another one. Including this one, your identity as a National Prefecture Team Member is already set."

"Haha, I'll be waiting for you to bring glory to the Divine Land!"

Tang Yue also handed over a pair of black scales, bowing slightly as she spoke:

"Mu Ningwei, thank you for saving the big guy. These are scales shed by the big guy, excellent materials for forging Armor Magic Tools. You can use them to craft two Armor Magic Tools."

Finally, Luo Mian handed over a letter, and Zhu Meng also gave a letter of recommendation from the Imperial Palace Court.

Luo Mian's letter naturally contained Mu Nujiao's vote.

The Imperial Palace Court's letter of recommendation could be used to apply to join any domestic force, serving as a golden key.

Mu Ningwei collected all the treasures and bid farewell.

This trip to Hangcheng was incredibly fruitful!

Faith, reputation, strength, and resources had all greatly increased.

When he returned to Magic City, he could calmly digest his gains and further improve his strength.

He had also helped the Mu Family gain resources, increasing the strength and influence of their backing forces.

Mu Ningwei was very satisfied with the outcome.

Watching Mu Ningwei and the others leave.

Zhu Meng couldn't help but sigh:

"Who would have thought that a young man, only 21 years old, could subdue a Blood Clan Monarch, and even kill a great demon like the Silver Sky Lord."

Tang Zhong lamented, "Indeed, who would have thought! I truly envy the Mu Family. Even setting aside Mu Ningwei, that peerless monstrous talent outside the norm, Mu Nujiao is also very formidable; her future achievements won't be inferior to Leng Qing's."

As he spoke, Tang Zhong cast a look of disappointment at Tang Yue, as if she were letting him down.

Tang Yue pouted, her mind filled with complaints.

She had already been working hard at her cultivation.

But were those people comparable to ordinary people? They were practically monsters!

Especially Mu Ningwei, killing the Silver Sky Lord at 21 – would anyone believe it if they heard it?

Uncle, you want me to compare myself to Mu Ningwei?

Why don't you compete with him and kill a Silver Sky Lord for me to see!

Mu Xun said smugly, his aged face seeming to rejuvenate, looking exceptionally spirited. "Ningwei is the heavenly talent of my Mu Family! Nu Jiao and Nuxin have also done very well; they are the twin stars of my Mu Family!"

Tang Zhong was incredibly envious.

"Your Mu Family's Mu Nuxin is also very formidable. She didn't awaken her magic, but she resolutely threw herself into the business world. The investment for our recent pioneering efforts was all handled by her."

"One of the Mu Family's twin stars is challenging the Hangcheng Academy, defeating all her peers and heavenly talents. She's a high-level mage at just 19 years old."

"The other is a rising star in the business world. This investment alone has a turnover of at least 50 billion. Even if she only makes a 5% profit, it's a fortune that even we would envy."

"And then there's the invincible Mu Ningwei."

"Brother Ningwei, I congratulate you, Brother Mu Xun, and congratulate the Mu Family in advance on their promotion to a clan!"

Zhu Meng chuckled, "Congratulations to the Mu Family for becoming the fifth clan in the country!"

Mu Xun's face was flushed with pride, and he couldn't stop smiling. He said humbly, "Not at all, not at all. We still have to see how far they can go. Before that, we old bones still have a lot of hard work ahead of us, hahahahaha."

Luo Mian's eyes flickered slightly, and he flattered, "Brother Mu Xun, do you have some time? I have a collaboration I'd like to discuss with you."

Tang Zhong immediately chimed in, "I have a collaboration too!"

Zhu Meng watched Mu Xun happily discussing matters with the Hangcheng higher-ups, his face filled with emotion.

This trip to Hangcheng involved him, Luo Mian, Tang Zhong, Mystic Snake, and others from various factions, all with their own objectives.

There was even an invasion by the White Demon Eagle tribe later, a crisis significant enough to annihilate Hangcheng.

However, Leng Qing had invited Mu Ningwei over!

The moment Mu Ningwei arrived in Hangcheng, all the struggles of individuals and events lost their meaning.

Whether actively or passively, they all had to follow Mu Ningwei's will and ensure that the outcome for Hangcheng was as he desired!

This invincible and terrifying strength;

This domineering yet wise approach to fostering good relationships and achieving win-win cooperation with everyone.

Zhu Meng was utterly amazed!

"If my Imperial Palace Court had Mu Ningwei, I'd probably wake up laughing in my dreams!"

Zhu Meng only later learned that Mystic Snake was the ancestor of poison-elemental magic and immune to blood-borne toxins.

Mu Ningwei fed the confiscated fake hemostatic agent to Mystic Snake, allowing it to end its molting period early and regain its Supreme Monarch-level strength.

Yet, the Supreme Monarch-level Mystic Snake had no opportunity to act, becoming entirely a contingency plan.

But it was this contingency plan that made Zhu Meng almost worship Mu Ningwei's wisdom.

He believed in the theory of potential risks, always considering the worst-case scenarios. This fallback plan gave him a sense of security.

It was hard to believe these were the methods of a young man!

That woman's nest, the Parthenon Temple, truly forged people!

Mu Ningwei, who emerged from it, was simply terrifying!

"Leng Qing and Mu Ningwei seem to have a very good relationship."

"I remember she's a junior highly regarded by Chief Pang Lai. It seems her grandfather is a good friend of Chief Pang Lai. I must tell Chief Pang Lai about this when I get back."

"The Azure Hunter Institute only requires identity registration; it's not a true power. Such excellent talent, our Imperial Palace Court cannot miss out on."
