A golden-haired man was lying on the tatami. His face was covered by a thick blanket. For some reason, the temperature in the room was freezing, and the man under the blanket seemed to be the reason.
Mo Fan walked up to the man and flipped the blanket open. He saw Zhao Manyan's face.
His face was pale-white. Although Zhao Manyan was the pretty-boy kind, his skin tone was normally quite healthy instead of its current pallor.
Mo Fan touched the blanket and realized that it was extremely icy too. The cold was coming from Zhao Manyan's body.
”Zhou Xu found him first. He was meditating in the room when he felt cold all of a sudden. It took him quite some time to figure out that Zhao Manyany was the source of the chill, like he was poisoned. He didn't react at all, and has stayed the same even until now,” said Nanyu.
The incident was too bizarre. Apart from Zhou Xu, Zu Jiming was also in the room when it happened. They were busy minding their own business. Zhao Manyan ended up like this all of a sudden, giving them a great fright.
Everyone immediately gathered in the room when it happened, yet they realized that Mo Fan and Jiang Shaoxu were missing, sending them into a panic. Luckily, the two only went to the city to get some supper.
Now, the only problem was Zhao Manyan.
”He's alive, but he's in a deep sleep. Nan Rongni strongly suggested that we not wake him up forcibly. Otherwise, it would inflict serious damage to his spirit. We have to find out what poison it is first… the strange thing is, we asked an old monk to take a look, yet he immediately ran away while murmuring under his breath. He did not give us any useful information, so it's unlikely that they will give us any help,” said Jiang Yu.
”Is the Healing Element not working?” asked Mo Fan.

”Is his life in danger?” asked Mo Fan again.
”Not for now, but the cold from his body is quite strange. I'm afraid that it will severely affect the functions of his body,” said Nan Rongni.
Mo Fan nodded. He understood the situation.
He turned around and saw Jiang Shaoxu with a shocked expression. She finally spoke up when everyone ran out of ideas, ”Does this mean what the owner of the Japanese bar said is true? There's some kind of Soul Eater here? Zhao Manyan does look like he has lost his soul!”
”What Soul Eater?”
”Jiang Shaoxu, enough with your nonsense. Stop scaring us when we're on a barren mountain,” said Mu Tingying unpleasantly.
As they were Magicians, it was not scary if they knew the demon creatures were responsible for it, yet if it involved something supernatural, it would be somewhat terrifying!
Jiang Shaoxu immediately told everyone what she heard from the owner of the izakaya.
Everyone felt uneasy after hearing the words. Did Zhao Manyan really lose his soul?
”Stop being so superstitious, we're from the magic society,” Nanyu stopped everyone from thinking further.
”Mo Fan, you mentioned you saw a girl, was that real too?” asked Jiang Shaoxu as she recalled something.
