355 We Call It A God (2/2)

”Oh, sure thing.” Dasheng took the boat and left without hesitation.

Mo Fan was intrigued when he saw Dasheng leaving without any worry.

Isn't this island empty? Anything could happen when a man and a woman are left alone on it. Does he really believe we are only teacher and student?

The thoughts filled Mo Fan's mind, but as he expected, it was soon replaced with the snake's face. Goddamnit!

”Well, it's my turn to be on duty today, but since you're here too, it won't be too boring.” Tangyue smiled. She did not seem too vigilant with Mo Fan around.

Mo Fan could not help but admit that his mind was filled with lewd thoughts. An isolated island, a man and a woman left alone. A beautiful scenery, and a taboo relationship between a teacher and a student, even though they no longer were student and teacher... Even the fear from the snake could no longer hold him back!

Tangyue placed her hands behind her. She was like a cheerful teenage girl bringing a friend to somewhere she was familiar with.

Her walking pace was slow and relaxed, and she looked amiable and gentle, unlike her breathtaking and imposing aura as a teacher when he first met her.

Mo Fan followed Tangyue and arrived before a building at the center of the cross made of green tiles and red pillars. It thoroughly displayed the signature building style around the area.

The building was decorated with antiques. As Mo Fan went inside, not only was the table filled with aged objects, even the walls had paintings of ancient legends...

The wall paintings consisted of humans, and an ambiguous demon beast.

They also depicted a village, lakes, and some weird-looking creatures surrounding the village in a circle.

Normally, Mo Fan would not pay too much attention to stuff like this. Even if he did, he would never understand what the paintings were illustrating. However, Mo Fan understood bits of the drawings when he recalled the story that Tangyue had told him!

The ambiguous demon beast was wrapped around the village. Without taking a closer look, they looked like two sets of walls protecting the boundaries of the village... But it was actually a snake!

The snake was coiling around the village like a ring. The demon beasts were scattered around the village in a circle. They were running away, implying that they were scared of the village.

The truth was, they were not scared of the village, but the snake protecting it!

The ancient drawing did not have too much detail. Without hearing the story, one would not see the ring around the village as a snake.

”Were you telling me the truth?” Mo Fan glanced at the aged walls, before looking at Tangyue.

Tangyue nodded sternly, indicating that she was not joking.

”The snake is actually protecting your village?” asked Mo Fan in disbelief.

”Mm, that's why we call it a god. This island is depicting the same tale, too,” said Tangyue.

Mo Fan was stunned. He recalled the shape of the island... A ring!

It turned out that this specific island on the West Lake that had existed for centuries was already a sign!

Who knew that it would be hiding such an astonishing secret? Unfortunately, his Miss Tangyue was the guardian of the secret!...
