1453 On the Mountain (2/2)
Mui Qing was still in a daze. She fixed up her clothes and allowed Mo Fan to carry her out of the dome.
---
It seemed like Mo Fan could move freely between the White Lava after he had claimed the Meteor Scarlet. Mui Guangqing was quite jealous of his ability.
Mui Qing started casting her magic to heal Dongfang Linlin's poison. As her blistered back and aura slowly recovered, everyone subconsciously let out a relieved sigh.
Finally… they might finally make it out of the place in one piece!

”Mo Fan, since you can move freely in this place, you should rest up and replenish your energy for now. You will be in charge of setting up the space coordinates!” Mui Zhuocheng gave Mo Fan the Scroll of Space.
”Sure, our job here is done once we break the Sarkinite Rock and set up the space coordinates… what a relief! The journey was a little troublesome, but at least everything has worked out well. Everyone is perfectly unharmed too!” Mo Fan said.
”I doubt so, the Healer isn't unharmed at all,” Zhao Manyan said.
Mui Qing had obviously realized a certain someone had touched most of her body after she had fully regained awareness. She did not even dare look Mo Fan in the eyes. Every time Mo Fan said something, she would blush subconsciously.
The team had no intention of staying in this place any longer after getting some rest. Dongfang Linlin took the initiative to lead the team to the Sarkinite deposit.
”Time to go. Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, Mui Qing, the four of you will stay here and rest. The others will follow me to deal with the Sarkinite...Qi Shan? Where's Qi Shan?” Mui Zhuocheng said.
”I'm here; are we going now?” Qi Shan asked.
”Yeah, the earlier the better. Who knows what's going to happen in there later; it's all you now. I believe there are some creatures close to the Sarkinite deposit,” Mui Zhuocheng said.
”Don't worry, I can handle it,” Qi Shan said.
”After we are done here, our status in the clan will rise tremendously. You will be able to choose any woman you like when the time comes,” Mui Zhuocheng smiled.
Qi Shan's lips twisted. The words had obviously touched upon his pain.
”Come, it's time to go!” Mui Guangqing said.

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan were extremely worn out. Defending against the Fiery-Winged Tyrant and jumping into the pool of Brown Lava were strenuous tasks!
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan were still suffering from injuries. After Mui Qing recovered, she helped to treat their injuries. Mu Bai was in a better spot, with only some minor burns. He could easily treat himself with medicine.
After meditating for a while, they managed to replenish some of their energy. Mo Fan opened his eyes. He could not tell how much time had passed. Feeling bored, he glanced at Mu Bai, who was sitting still beside him, and asked, ”Mu Bai, where have you been over the years?”
”Everywhere. I would visit the Ancient Capital at times,” Mu Bai replied.
”How about Wang Sanpang? Is that guy still alive?” Mo Fan said.
”He's fine. He has a wife now, and is already a father. He normally helps me sell the loot I bring back from the wild. He has opened a magic shop now. He's doing pretty well,” Mu Bai answered.
”How about Zhou Ming? I thought there were some fireworks between you two?” Mo Fan asked.
”You're the one she likes. There's nothing between us, really. We would hang out at times. She must have stayed at school. It's been a while since I last saw her,” Mu Bai said.
”Oh, tell her to stop being infatuated with me. My heart already belongs to someone now… it's impossible between the two of us,” Mo Fan said quickly.
”How shameless can you be?” Mu Bai said coldly.
Zhao Manyan opened his eyes and joined the conversation. ”Speaking of which, I initially thought Qi Shan was the smitten kind, but I saw him at the bar we went to!”
”For real?” Mo Fan seemed surprised.
”Really, I saw him when Sister Li was carrying us. He was sitting very close to a good-looking girl with short hair while talking to her!” Zhao Manyan claimed.
”Don't you feel ashamed mentioning that a woman carried you home?” Mu Bai harrumphed.
”Huh? Why would I feel ashamed? You were the one that did it on the mountain!” Zhao Manyan blurted out.
”On...on the mountain?” Mui Qing could no longer focus on recovering her energy. How perverted were these three men? She initially assumed they were gentlemen!
”Nonsense, I was only talking to her!” the thin-skinned Mu Bai blurted out.
”Even dogs wouldn't believe that,” Zhao Manyan seemed displeased by Mu Bai's hypocritical behavior. He quickly turned to the other side and asked, ”Don't you think so too? Mo Fan?”
”I think I'm your grandfather!” Mo Fan scolded back. There was no way he would take the bait.
Mui Qing could no longer stand their conversation, and immediately moved into a corner. However, she could not help but take a few glances at Mo Fan when she recalled him saying that his heart already belonged to someone else...
