Athena's Kiss

"Yes, benefactor. My codename is Stinger. From the day I was chosen as a mole, my real identity died."

"If you find it cumbersome, my codename at Black Pepper Court was Blue Bat. You can call me 'Little Blue'."

Blue Bat smiled gently, her long, silky hair draped over her shoulders, covering her firm, round, ample bosom. Her eyes, moist and fixed on Mu Ningwei, bowed deeply in thanks.

Leng Qing quickly said, "Stinger, you're still injured. Don't make such large movements."

"Thank you for your concern. But it's fine. Compared to the life-saving grace, these minor injuries I'm used to are not worth mentioning."

Blue Bat shook her head and looked directly at Mu Ningwei, "Benefactor, could you give me your contact information? I'd like to thank you in person in the future."

Mu Ningwei gave his contact information. "No need for thanks. It's good that you've left a place like Black Pepper Court. Get plenty of rest and welcome your new life."

"You're such a good person."

Having been given the "good person card," Mu Ningwei smiled and prepared to leave.

Leng Qing said, "The Judgment Association is tallying your contributions. Your bonus and commendations will be issued after everything settles down."

"Discuss these matters with Patriarch Mu. I believe he'll be very pleased."

Mu Ningwei stood outside the assessment area, watching the Night Ruling Great Array descend. He observed the students' chaotic battle within with great interest.

Mu Nujiao, along with a girl from Great Thunder, a dashing young man, a handsome blonde, and Xu Zhaoting, had formed a team and were playing the field.

Several judges, hidden in the darkness, were taking away people from Black Pepper Court from among the students according to a list. Everything happened discreetly, to avoid causing panic.

At this moment, his phone rang.

It was Mu Zhanxing calling:

"Ningwei, well done! You actually led the Judgment Association to encircle and annihilate the headquarters of Black Pepper Court in Magic City!"

"Now we just have to wait for the Judgment Association to follow the clues and completely eradicate the cult members in the city, as well as those who cooperated with them."

"Hahaha, what a relief! That old geezer from the Dongfang Family was coincidentally handling affairs at the Judgment Association. When he heard what you did, he was so envious, he kept shouting about giving the younger generation devilish special training."

"Just now, an old timer from the Judgment Association headquarters called me to express his thanks. They want to offer our Mu Family a large number of positions, and even promised to appoint an elder from our family as the Deputy Chief Judge of Magic City. He'll be officially promoted immediately after the second Chief Judge retires."

"Having you in the family is truly a blessing for the Mu Family!"

"Whatever reward you want, just ask. Your uncle will grant it."

Mu Ningwei looked at Dean Xiao, who was walking towards him from a distance, and said, "I'm watching Mu Nujiao's assessment. She should be able to achieve a good ranking."

"I'll visit Uncle Mu tomorrow then."

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Mu Ningwei smiled:

"Dean Xiao, hello."

Dean Xiao said with some emotion, "I didn't expect Black Pepper Court to make a move on my students. I wonder why they targeted Mo Fan."

"Thanks to you discovering them in time, otherwise, I don't know how much loss there would have been. Actually, the loss is minor. If any students had been injured or killed, that would have been a grave sin."

Mu Ningwei tilted his head, "Then, Dean Xiao, how about you show some appreciation? Give me some Light Element resources."

Dean Xiao chuckled, "You rascal, do you want the Three-Step Tower?"

"The Three-Step Tower doesn't have much effect on me."

Dean Xiao was surprised. After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said painfully, "I didn't expect your cultivation to be this high already. The academy has a few bottles of Light Element Magic Ore Essence Liquid in stock. I'll take you to get them."

Mu Ningwei gave him a thumbs-up. "You're very generous, Dean."

Dean Xiao shot him a look. "These were originally resources to reward teachers who achieved merits. I don't know how the Light Element teachers will feel when they find out."

"Let's congratulate Sister on successfully passing the assessment. Cheers!"

In the private room of a restaurant, three glasses of fruit beer clinked together.

Mu Nujiao had performed excellently in her assessment today. She and her teammates successfully captured a Shadow Demon Beast and received the highest reward, allowing her to enter the Three-Step Tower for 7 days of cultivation.

Mu Ningwei smiled, "You did very well. I've ordered a Bell Demon Seed for you. It should have arrived at your doorstep by now. Consider it your reward."

Elemental Mages could fuse with Elemental Seeds to enhance their magic power.

Plant Element Mages also had Plant Seeds, which were much rarer than Elemental Seeds. After fusion, Plant Mages could summon specific magical plants.

Mu Nujiao exclaimed in surprise, "Thank you, Brother Ningwei!"

Brother Ningwei is so good to Sister...

Mu Nuxin drank her fruit beer, her face rosy, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She was just an ordinary person. Perhaps only Mu Nujiao was worthy of Mu Ningwei.

"Sister, I have a gift for you too. I bought you a Demon Slaying Tool."

Mu Nujiao said a little bashfully, "Nuxin, speaking of which, I haven't given you any gifts yet..."

Mu Nuxin smiled sweetly, "It's fine as long as Sister takes me out to play when she has time."

"Okay. I'll take you to see a movie another day."

Mu Ningwei said, "After I go back tonight, I'll fuse the Bell Demon Seed. I'll consider teaching you how to cultivate Plant Demon Servants these few days. Once I'm out of the Three-Step Tower, I'll officially start teaching."

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ningwei."

Mu Nujiao watched the two discuss magic. Unconsciously, she finished her fruit wine and poured another glass, her eyes growing a little hazy.

Back home, Mu Nujiao went to the restroom, while Mu Nujiao, holding the demon seed, hurried back to her room.

Mu Ningwei took a shower and sat cross-legged on his bedroom floor in his pajamas. He took out four test tubes of Light Element magic ore essence fluid.

This was the form some Soul Seeds took before they were born. If they remained in the magic ore and weren't mined for a long time, they could potentially form Soul Seeds.

Therefore, they contained pure and vast energy. After processing, it could increase Light Element cultivation.

"Four tubes of essence fluid are enough for me to break through my bottleneck."

Mu Ningwei poured the pure white, glowing viscous liquid into his palm, refining the rich Light Element within. He closed his eyes and used Faith Divine Power.

At this moment, Mu Ningwei's body lit up with Holy Radiance, like twinkling starlight, exuding a sacred and noble aura that rendered the entire room a pure white, shining domain.

The gates of Heaven opened.

Mu Ningwei's consciousness rose, and rose again, passing through vast clouds and an endless white sea, finally arriving at a pristine garden where the sun, moon, and stars shone simultaneously.

A woman in white divine armor with a stunningly beautiful face sat on a Moon Wheel, resting her chin on her hand. She gazed at the white sea of faith below. Sensing Mu Ningwei's arrival, she turned her head and smiled brilliantly.

"You're here."

"Sister Athena, I've come to see you."

"Have there been any interesting events in the human world recently?"

"Many. I've also left the Parthenon you left behind."

Mu Ningwei recounted stories from the human world. A holy, pure white Unicorn appeared at some point and nuzzled his stomach by Mu Ningwei's feet.

Athena looked at him with affection. "I didn't expect you to go through such things."

"It's already happened, so I don't care."

Mu Ningwei chatted with Athena for a while. When his Faith Divine Power was depleted, Athena gently kissed his forehead, and his consciousness returned to his body.

The four bottles of essence fluid in his hand were depleted. His cultivation reached High-level Tier Three. All that was left was to reach full cultivation before considering breaking through to the Super Tier.

Sensing himself, Mu Ningwei was pleasantly surprised.

"Did Sister Athena's blessing this time help my mental power break through to Realm Five?"

Each of Athena's blessings was different.

Last time, she granted him immunity to charm effects. The time before that, she enhanced Mu Ningwei's five senses...

This time, she raised Mu Ningwei's mental power from the peak of Realm Four to Realm Five.

"Brother Ningwei, may I come in?"

Mu Nujiao's voice came from outside the door.
