”I thought you were going to sacrifice yourself again,” Tangyue's voice, with a weird tone to it, came into Mo Fan's ears.
Mo Fan purposely stood on his toes at the edge of a cliff. A strong wind was blowing past his ears. Before his feet was a deep abyss shrouded by a white mist.
”Hello, hello, yeah, I've eaten, the food here is pretty light, the old taoist told me to abstain from eating meat, but I normally go hunting in the mountains. The mountain beasts are absolutely delicious. Pure natural and pollution-free...” responded Mo Fan in a loud voice.
After testing various cliffs and almost fall off the edge a couple of times, Mo Fan found out that this peak had the best reception across all of the entire Mount Hua.
”Who asked you about food, I'm being serious, you should stay away from those maniacs from the Black Vatican. I'm worried that you'll be gone all of a sudden,” said Tangyue.
”What? My cultivation? It will soon recover, I'm still in the Advanced Level. Not only did I manage to restore the Nebulas of other Elements, they are now all in the third-tier too. This place is perfect for cultivation. I almost fell in love with it. The only downside is there isn't any taoist nuns around. Oh, I didn't even find a female monkey. Miss Tangyue, why don't you come and spend a few days here with me? Spending too much time in the city full of concrete isn't good for your health. You should come here to stand close to nature...” It had been a while since Mo Fan last conversed with someone. He kept on talking into the phone.
Tangyue's forehead was covered in black lines.
She knew the signal in the mountain was bad, but it should not be this bad.
”Oh, I've got something to tell you,” said Tangyue sternly.
”Yeah, go on, I can hear you clearly!”
”Do you remember how the big guy showed up in the city?” said Tangyue.
The big guy that Tangyue mentioned was referring to the Black Totem Snake. He was now treated as Hangzhou's precious possession, attracting lots of tourists to the West Lake. They were not hoping they could see the real Black Totem Snake. They were satisfied enough listening to the tales, enjoying the scenery and watching the giant shadow under the West Lake!
”I do, I almost wet my pants!” Mo Fan managed to hear the sentence clearly.
Mo Fan remembered that he was enjoying a date with Xinxia at the time. He even booked a romantic room for the night through his phone under the table. However, the Black Totem Snake's sudden appearance between two skyscrapers completely destroyed his plan.
Either way, the Black Totem Snake owed him a hotel room!
”Initially, I thought he only showed up there because of his unstable emotion during the ecdysis. However, the big guy has woken up recently, so I've asked him about it,” said Tangyue.
Mo Fan remembered it now. The Black Totem Snake was staring right at the building he was in. More accurately, the snake was staring at his floor, right at him!
The Black Totem Snake only showed himself when he had a dangerous feeling, and for a creature like the Black Totem Snake, not many things were able to make him feel threatened. Mo Fan still did not understand what exactly was in the building that had caught his attention!
”Is it because of the Demon Element in my blood?” asked Mo Fan.
Tangyue and her people were aware of the Demon Element. The Enforcement Union in Hangzhou was his ally. With Tang Zhong in power, they would surely keep it a secret for his sake.
”I thought so too, but it's obviously not the reason. He told me that someone behind you was making him uneasy. However, he quickly disappeared when he found out that the person was not as dangerous as he thought,” said Tangyue.
”Behind me?” Mo Fan was even more confused.
”Think carefully, do you remember who's behind you? Big guy says the person was very close to you,” said Tangyue.
”Behind me...at that time...” Mo Fan paused in the middle of his sentence. His face was filled with disbelief.
Soon after, he quickly shook his head.
