Early that morning, Mu Linsheng could not stop discussing the incident while Mo Fan was still having his breakfast. Many versions of the same story had appeared overnight.

”It's really nothing. I just killed some sea monsters, do they really have to make it sound so crazy?” Mo Fan believed the people of the new city were exaggerating it.

”Brother, you are already used to fighting demon creatures. I bet you've seen more demon creatures than humans by now. Killing them is like slaughtering chickens for you, but not every Mage hangs out with the demon creatures as often as you! They are already considered veterans if they can slay a few demon creatures with their own hands. Being involved in a great battle against the demon creatures is enough for them to boast about for a few years!

”What happened last night might be insignificant to you, but it's an unforgettable experience for many of the Mages who have never left the safe zones!” Mu Linsheng explained the viewpoint of the Mages who spent most of their time in the cities.

Mu Linsheng was a Mage too, but his cultivation was not that impressive. He knew there were not many Mages like Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue, who had fought numerous battles against demon creatures. Most Mages only pursued a stable life and income under the protection of the cities. They were not willing to risk their lives fighting against demon creatures...

Their country had lost a huge portion of its territory to the rising sea. The people were afraid as the sea monsters became restless. Under these circumstances, being able to punish the sea monsters and bring back their heads was already something to be proud of!

”Most of the people you normally hang out with are monsters like yourself, but the patrol squads only consist of normal Mages. Apart from the patrol squads, the new city has a lot of young Mages too! This incident has taken place so close to them, so it's reasonable for them to behave like that… It's also a great chance for our new city to make a name for ourselves! HAHAHA, we killed two hundred Viscera Hunters and more than two thousand Sea Hook Black Beasts, and the city is perfectly unharmed!” Mu Linsheng exclaimed.

Mu Linsheng left in a great mood. It was obvious that he was busy thinking about how he could use the opportunity. Meanwhile, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue continued to enjoy their breakfast. It was just a normal night for them. The battle was nothing worth mentioning, compared to what they had been through in the past.

”We still need some powerful Mages. It's good enough if we can hire a few more Advanced Mages, let alone a Super Mage,” Mu Ningxue told Mo Fan.

Even though the average strength of the Mages in the patrol squads was only at the Intermediate Level, they still had to pay those Mages every day. There were only a few Advanced Mages among them. If Mo Fan had not happened to go with them, it was difficult to say how many among them would have made it back alive...

Mo Fan was unlikely to be around all the time. He knew what Mu Ningxue was trying to say. Fanxue Mountain needed more Mages they could rely on!

”It's a villa, not a stronghold!” Mu Ningxue felt the need to correct him.

It was meant to be Fanxue Villa and Fanxue New City, yet it suddenly became some bandits' stronghold in Mo Fan's eyes.

”Villa, yes, our villa...” Mo Fan corrected himself.

”I have registered the new city under your name. Your reputation clearly exceeds mine. If the city was under my name, it would bring some hindrances to it,” Mu Ningxue told him.

Mu Ningxue clearly felt she was being picked on after she started managing Fanxue Mountain. It was obvious that people could not easily forget what Mu He had done in the past. On top of that, the Mu Clan had been quite a nuisance, too! If Fanxue Mountain was planning to grow further, it would be difficult to do so under Mu Ningxue's name.
