355 We Call It A God (1/2)

Finally, Mo Fan compromised.

Tangyue had told Mo Fan the reason why he was constantly having fear in his heart, why he kept seeing the Skyscraping Snake's face when he closed his eyes, seeing it hissing at him...

It was because the Skyscraping Snake had chosen its prey. When the time came, it would appear out of nowhere like before and swallow him alive into its stomach.

”Oh, if you aren't aware, snakes like to eat their prey alive. You won't die straight away once you get swallowed. You will be digested slowly instead.” Tangyue further clarified the details, leaving Mo Fan shivering in fear.

”Sis, please say no more. I've already promised to go with you!” Mo Fan put on a long face.

Mo Fan followed Tangyue to the West Lake. As they arrived, they straight away went up to a boat and rowed it out to the center of the lake.

The water was clear and calm. White clouds could be seen from the reflection surrounding the little boat.

Normally, Mo Fan would start having lewd imaginings, being alone with Tangyue on a little boat. He would imagine what sort of bad things he could do to her, being on an isolated boat. However, he could not do it this time.

His mind was indeed implanted with fear, making him feel uneasy at all times.

To an extent, when Mo Fan was staring into the clear water, he could somehow see a gigantic coiled-up body deep inside the water, right under the boat. The boat was only floating on the lake like a leaf, while the body under it was only the tip of an iceberg.

The water suddenly turned darker, as a snake's face suddenly approached him from the darkness. He suddenly found himself in a deep abyss, lost in fear.

What was happening to him? Mo Fan had never felt so disconcerted. Could it be that Tangyue was actually speaking the truth? He was a prey that had been marked, which the beast would just come and enjoy whenever it wished?

The boat slowly rowed out to a small island at the center of the lake.

The shape of the island resembled a No Entry sign, with a circle on the outside, and a big cross inside the circle. The rest of it was filled with water.

As the boat arrived at the shore, Mo Fan immediately saw a man in a blue outfit keeping an eye out at the area. His eyes flickered when he saw Tangyue, but his excitement was replaced with a frown when he saw Mo Fan.

”Tangyue, we don't allow outsiders here,” said the man.

”Dasheng, he's not an outsider.” Tangyue urged Mo Fan to go onshore as she docked the boat.

”Does that mean, you two have already-?” The man called Dasheng was astounded. If he were only rejecting him because he was an outsider, it had now turned into pure hostility!

Tangyue blushed when she came to a realization. She blurted out, ”What the hell were you thinking, he's my student!”

”Oh, oh, a student, well I guess you won't be considered an outsider then,” Dasheng chuckled. His hostility toward Mo Fan quickly vanished.

”So you guys are in charge of this island. I initially thought it was open to visitors.” Mo Fan was surprised when he found out that the island did not have any visitors.

In the past, the place used to be a famous attraction due to its scenery. The island was not huge. You would find yourself at the same place after barely taking any steps, but it was surrounded by the lake, and decorated with trees and plants.

”Dasheng, you can go back now. Leave it to me,” said Tangyue.
