Chapter 2804: Men Are Not As Fun Compared To Hunting Demons

“Mo Fan!”

They had agreed to meet at a teahouse at West Lake. A retro boat drove into the middle of a cooling lake. Hot tea was served. All the terrifying images of the Ocean Demons at Hawaii were pushed back in the depths of their minds. They could not stop admiring the peaceful and breathtaking scenery at West Lake.

“Mo Fan!”

Lingling stared at Mo Fan in annoyance. Mo Fan was still caught in a daze, and this was her second time calling him.

Mo Fan was still absorbed in Little Loach’s transformation after absorbing the Underground Holy Spring. Each Soul Essence produced could increase his strength drastically.

He had a total of eight elemental magical powers. After all his elements achieved Super level, he would be powerful! Each of his elements contained 2401 Star Sons. When each of the Star Sons continued to advance to the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh grade, he could cast common magic with terrifying force!

Most people would not use the precious Soul Essence to strengthen their Star Sons due to lower returns. It would be an absolute waste. However, Mo Fan was different. Little Loach possessed special condensation ability. If it had not been for the fact that the Soul Essence produced could not be sold, Mo Fan would have become the world’s richest man long ago, and Zhao Manyan would no longer be on his list.

“Huh? What did you say?” asked Mo Fan. He took a sip of the fragrant tea. ‘Bitter!’

The loose-leaf tea had been kept for too long. It was so bitter. Cunning businessmen were everywhere these days!

Not many people could survive under the Ocean Demon’s threat for many years. But Mo Fan wondered why they were reluctant to offer some nice tea so everyone could enjoy their final days with delicious tea, at the least.

“As we mentioned earlier, most of the ancient characters on totem beasts are pointing to the same mysterious place. Even though the situation along the coastline is complicated, we must take a trip down there.” Jiang Shaoxu emphasized his words with impatience.

“I’m sorry. I was in a daze. You’ve been talking about a lot of complicated archaeological research. I’ve already shown my respect for you by not dozing off because that’s what I usually do whenever I listen to research in academics,” Mo Fan snorted.

......

“I think you’re just focusing on the Underground Holy Spring,” Lingling said, irritated.

“Not really. It depends on which side provides me with more sufficient and accurate information. Speaking of which, I’ve been to the place that you mentioned. But Northern Xinjiang is vast, and it’s a no man’s island. Just like you’ll find yourself losing direction at Gobi Desert if you don’t have clear signs. Even the Egyptians are confused with the direction of the golden pyramid in the desert.” Mo Fan had heard part of their conversations.

Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu had the intention of going to Northern Xinjiang.

After the duo had combined all the totem beasts’ seals, including the Green East Sea God’s, they found some characters from Northern Xinjiang which led them to believe it was most likely a totem beast’s trace. Mo Fan was very familiar with that area. It was near Beiguan Town!

Back then, Khufu led the Golden Pyramid Undeads to trample Northern Xinjiang. When a crisis happened along the East Coastline, it almost caused a devastating blow to the Northwest area. If not for Zhan Kong and his Undead Empire from Ancient Capital salvaging the situation, the Northwest area would have been destroyed.

When the coastline suffered a huge crisis, people moved to the West and built cities in the Northwest. Without the Undeads, the vast dry lands at Ancient Capital and North Xinjiang became their new habitat. Even though the lands were not suitable for planting, they eventually found a way around it.

“No matter what, we have to go to the Ancient Capital and Beiguan Town. After that, we might have to continue our journey to the Northwest, Inner Mongolia prairie, or return to Ningxia or Green Sea,” said Jiang Shaoxu.

“We’re getting close to finding the totem beast, Mo Fan. I know you’re worried about the current situation in the East Ocean. But we, too, are racing against time. The totem beasts understood the Ocean Demon better than us. They are the Ocean Demon’s natural enemy. If we find the surviving totem beast, we can safeguard another base city!” Lingling said firmly.

Mo Fan stared at Lingling. He noticed she had grown mature. In the past, she could not blurt out such words with confidence.

“Why are you staring at me? I’m just hoping that there will still be a continuous supply of tasty milk tea,” Lingling defended herself.

“For me, my only concern is I’m afraid I won’t run into such an adorable Shanghai girl anymore.” Mo Fan smiled.

“Mo Fan, enough! If you want some sweet talk, come to me. Don’t go after a young woman!” Jiang Shaoxu said ruthlessly.

Lingling was right. If Mo Fan focused on finding totem beasts, Commander Hua would be more at ease.

‘If we find a sacred totem beast, perhaps we can alter the current situation.’ Mo Fan heaved a sigh when he recalled the image of Commander Hua facing the sea on the hill alone.

Even Commander Hua found their state to be hopeless. Could he still make a difference?

What he had to do was to find the sacred totem beast. They had a clearer picture on the route to its location. Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu had clues about the sacred totem beast. Although they did not know when the Ocean Demons would launch an attack, they had to race against time!

“So, that’s settled.” Lingling smiled. Finally, she could ignore the magic theory course that she had been memorizing since she was seven years old. She had broken herself free from the group of narcissistic men. Those men had pretended as though they were humorous, handsome, and had profound knowledge. They were nothing but shallow and childish.

“Lingling, how are you drinking that tea? Mine tastes very bitter,” said Mo Fan.

“The tea doesn’t taste as good as milk tea.” Lingling did not fancy the warm tea. Her only preference was milk tea with less sugar and pearls.

“We can depart after Song Feiyao arrives… Ahh! Mo Fan, I envy you. You have two ladies, one from Parthenon Temple and the other at Fanxue Mountain waiting for you. Besides, you have some ‘lovers’ like us to accompany you from time to time. Also, youalways flirt with someone new.” Jiang Shaoxu drew circles in the air with his slender fingers.

“I don’t mind if others say that to me. But you already know that I’m innocent, how dare you make fun of me?! I can’t do anything if you refuse to get married. I can’t worry so much about you. To me, it’s best if all of the world’s beautiful ladies remain single. I don’t mind admiring their beauty from afar,” Mo Fan said frankly.

“Dream on. After the mission is accomplished, I’ll basically go back to my hometown and get married. Lingling, you have to be careful. You’re a beautiful woman now…,” said Jiang Shaoxu.

“Men are not as fun compared to hunting demons,” Lingling said disdainfully.

Mo Fan and Jiang Shaoxu were speechless.
