The night was quiet and clean. The haze produced by the local industries had dissipated among the mountains after the Kunlun Wind swept past. The Wangyang Station was like an oxygen bar located in the middle of the mountains. There was no sign of noise. The stars hanging in the night sky felt like they were about to fall to the ground, stirring up one dazzling ripple after another.
Mu Bai sat at the top of the mountain alone, staring into the sky.
The scene was a even more spectacular than the woman had described. He had visited a lot of places, yet he had never had the chance to relax while enjoying the dazzling sight of the night sky, or perhaps his eyes had been shrouded by something over the years.
Mu Bai sat on the mountain until the latter half of the night. He slowly rose to his feet while shaking his head.
He returned down the mountain to Wangyang Station. The place was quiet, apart from the bustling bar.
Mu Bai did not look into the bar when he walked past it. However, a drunk middle-aged man happened to be coming out of it while hugging a young slender woman with his right hand. To be precise, his hand was wantonly grabbing the woman's bottom.
Despite being drunk, he was impatiently moving in the direction of an inn with the woman. The woman was whispering softly with a smile.
They bumped into Mu Bai as they happened to pass by. The young woman was stunned. She looked into the direction Mu Bai came from.
Mu Bai halted in his tracks. He briefly glanced at the woman before withdrawing his gaze. He did not stop for more than a second. He kept walking as the moonlight shone upon his back.
”Do you know him? Or is he your old sweetheart? Let me tell you, good-looking men like him are useless, it's better to enlighten me instead...” the middle-aged man grunted.
”He's just an old customer,” the woman replied.

Since when was he feeling so lonely? He actually treated a hooker's words so seriously, like the words of a family member. He was eager to keep his promise after he survived the dangerous operation...
Is this the feeling of living a carefree life?

After recovering some energy, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, Lingling, Mui Zhuocheng, Dongfang Xifeng, and the others had no intention of staying any further. They all boarded a flight to the Magic City.
”I've been working on domestic flights now after the decrease in international flights. However, domestic flights aren't as interesting as international ones. It's rare to meet an interesting passenger like you.” The stewardess' smile was no longer just professional as she continued to chat with them. Since she was the head stewardess, no one would complain about her.
”What happened to international flights?” Mo Fan asked.
”Many of the destinations for the routes are along the coastlines. The flights were impacted now that a huge portion of the coastlines were drowned by the ocean and invaded by sea monsters,” the stewardess told him.
”Oh, that's true,” Mo Fan nodded.
”Why are you suddenly curious about international flights?” Zhao Manyan asked with a confused face.
”The Holy Judgment Court has summoned me. I'll have to pay them a visit soon,” Mo Fan said helplessly.
The Holy Judgment Court was finally going to come up with a ruling regarding Mo Fan's actions at the Parthenon Temple. Even though his contribution of capturing the Cold Prince was greater than his offenses, they still had to adhere to official procedures. Mo Fan still had to respect the Holy Judgment Court, since they were the highest court for Mages!
”Which country is the Holy Judgment Court located in?” Mu Bai asked.
”I think it's Switzerland,” Mo Fan said.
”Switzerland huh...” Mu Bai fell into deep thought.
”You have any close ones there?” Mo Fan asked.
”I have a sister who my mother adopted, I think she's in Switzerland,” Mu Bai clarified, as if he was afraid that Mo Fan would relate his sister to Mu He. Mu Bai continued, ”It happened before I moved to the Mu Clan in Bo City. A couple from Switzerland was fond of my sister when she was very young. They didn't have any kids, so they wanted to bring her to Switzerland with them. My mother wasn't capable of taking care of us both, so she agreed. We've stayed in contact through e-mails and calls, but I haven't heard from her for a few years. If you're going to Switzerland, bring me along. I would like to pay her a visit.”
Mu Bai had already experienced how terrifying it was to live a carefree life. Even though he had not heard from his sister for some years, he still wanted to meet her and know she was doing well. He could also let her know about their mother's passing. He would soon move to Fanxue Mountain...
After all, Mu Zhuoyun was his uncle. The people from Bo City that used to live in the Ancient Capital had moved to the new Fanxue City, too. It was better for him to live with them.
