"I… I really want to."
Mu Ningxue leaned her head against Mu Nianbing's chest, her voice so soft it was almost like a mosquito's buzz.
At the same time, her slender hands tightly wrapped around Mu Nianbing's waist, as if afraid he might leave.
Mu Nianbing lifted his hand and gently pinched Mu Ningxue's chin. Looking at her soft, inviting lips, he lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation.
After the passionate kiss, Mu Ningxue's blush spread from her cheeks down to her neck, even her earlobes turning pink and delicate.
Mu Nianbing felt her entire body soften in his embrace.
Her delicate figure carried a faint coolness that contrasted with the heat building inside him.
As the two remained close, Mu Ningxue gradually sensed something unusual pressing against her.
At first, she thought something might have been left in Mu Nianbing's pocket.
But it didn't take long for her to realize what it actually was.
A trace of nervousness appeared in Mu Ningxue's heart, and she instinctively felt she might not easily adapt to what was about to happen.
Meanwhile, Mu Nianbing held Mu Ningxue gently, his gaze sweeping over her elegant figure.
The perfectly tailored dark trench coat outlined her graceful curves.
Although her chest was not as exaggerated as Ai Tutu's, it was still beautifully full.
Combined with her slender frame, the clothing wrapped tightly around her chest, creating a captivating outline.
As the atmosphere between them grew warmer, Mu Ningxue's gaze slowly became hazy.
"Xue'er… should we go to your room?" Mu Nianbing asked softly.
He had no intention of going any further in the living room.
Mu Ningxue placed her hands on his shoulders and parted her lips slightly before giving a quiet response, "Mm."
Receiving her consent, Mu Nianbing lifted her directly into his arms.
Instead of taking the stairs, he used Instant Movement, instantly arriving inside Mu Ningxue's room.
Mu Nianbing was already very familiar with the villa's layout, so teleporting there was effortless.
After the two left, Mu Zhuoyun finally walked out of the kitchen.
Looking toward the second-floor room, a faint smile appeared on Mu Zhuoyun's face.
Regarding the growing intimacy between the two, he not only felt no objection but was actually quite supportive.
Mu Zhuoyun had always been confident in Mu Nianbing.
When Mu Nianbing first displayed his extraordinary talent, Mu Zhuoyun had already begun to consider the possibility.
Now Mu Nianbing had become the National Team Captain and was even the hero of the Ancient Capital, reversing the public opinion surrounding the Mu Family.
There was simply no reason to oppose the relationship.
Inside the second-floor bedroom, Mu Nianbing looked at Mu Ningxue lying on the bed with burning eyes.
Feeling his gaze, Mu Ningxue appeared shy and slightly uneasy.
She turned her head slightly, avoiding eye contact.
One hand rested near her collarbone, while the other remained near her waist, her entire posture exuding an elegant charm.
Looking at the cold and beautiful ice goddess before him, Mu Nianbing swallowed unconsciously.
Gradually, he leaned closer, taking the dominant position as he looked down at her.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her again.
At first Mu Ningxue showed a slight resistance, but she quickly relaxed and even wrapped her arms around Mu Nianbing's neck.
"Are you ready?" Mu Nianbing asked softly.
Mu Ningxue did not answer directly.
Instead, she pulled him closer and gave him another gentle kiss.
Her actions had already answered the question.
The night quietly passed.
Afterward, Mu Ningxue had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Mu Nianbing, however, felt completely refreshed.
Not only did he feel no fatigue, but his body seemed full of energy.
He even felt that if he cultivated now, his efficiency would greatly increase.
After leaving the room, Mu Nianbing returned to the living room on the first floor.
There he saw Mu Zhuoyun calmly making tea.
For a moment, Mu Nianbing actually felt a little awkward.
Uncle Yun treats me like his own son, and I ended up getting involved with his daughter.
However, Mu Zhuoyun did not mention the matter at all.
Instead, he smiled warmly and said, "Nianbing, you came at the right time. Sit down and have a cup of tea with me."
Mu Nianbing nodded and sat across from him.
This was actually the first time he had shared tea with Mu Zhuoyun.
Back at the Mu Family Manor, Mu Zhuoyun had never been particularly fond of tea.
But after moving to the Imperial Capital, he had gradually developed an interest in it.
"Nianbing," Mu Zhuoyun said while pouring tea.
"I really made a mistake. The Mu Clan never truly cared about us. From beginning to end, all they cared about was Xiaoxue."
Mu Zhuoyun's voice carried a trace of regret.
In truth, when Mu Ningxue's mother passed away years ago, he should have realized the true nature of the Mu Clan.
But Mu Ningxue's talent was extraordinary.
The Mu Family simply did not have enough resources to support her cultivation.
The only choice was for her to join the Mu Clan.
Mu Zhuoyun had once believed that Mu Ningxue's talent would allow their branch of the family to gain status within the clan.
Reality, however, repeatedly crushed that hope.
Aside from Mu Ningxue, the Mu Clan never cared about anyone from their branch.
Not even Mu Zhuoyun himself.
Within the Mu Clan, their cultivation levels were considered extremely weak.
Most members of the Mu Family were only at the Intermediate Level, leaving them with almost no influence.
"It's not too late to realize it now, Uncle Yun," Mu Nianbing said with a faint smile after sipping his tea.
In the past, persuasion would have been useless.
But now the truth had revealed itself.
Mu Zhuoyun nodded.
"You and Xiaoxue have both joined the National Team," he said with a broad smile. "From now on, the future of the Mu Family will depend on the two of you."
Without realizing it, Mu Zhuoyun had already begun to regard Mu Nianbing as the pillar of the Mu Family.
Mu Nianbing smiled slightly.
But in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.
His spiritual power was already close to breaking through into the Fourth Realm, allowing him to sense something unusual outside the villa.
Someone was standing outside.
And their cultivation level was far higher than his.
That meant the person was at least a Super-Level Mage.
A Super-Level Mage appearing outside the Mu Family villa at this time could only mean one thing.
Someone from the Mu Clan had arrived.
However, Mu Nianbing showed no trace of worry.
The Totem Black Serpent was still with him.
When he returned to the Magic Capital earlier, Mu Nianbing had originally planned to return the Totem Pearl to Tang Yue immediately.
But because Tang Yue was away on a mission, the Totem Pearl remained in his possession for the time being.
With the Totem Black Serpent backing him, even if he faced the Mu Clan's Great Elder Mu Fanning, Mu Nianbing would not retreat in the slightest.
