The people of Cairo finally had a chance to catch their breath after the army of undead retreated. It was rare to enjoy a quiet night in the luxurious city. Many people were out enjoying their lives, since it might be their last chance to do so.
Zhao Manyan sat at the bar of his hotel. He decisively rejected a gorgeous lady that approached him and fondled his waist.
He had been too crazy for the past few days. He felt extremely empty down below. He could not keep it up any longer, or it might really cost him his life!
”I wonder how Mo Fan is doing… tsk tsk tsk, little Apas is very attractive ! Her youthful beauty is clearly a bonus. I wonder if that jerk Mo Fan is going to go easy on her. Speaking of the guy!...”
The bar was close to a row of French windows facing the street. Zhao Manyan happened to see Mo Fan walking in as he was thinking about him.
Mo Fan was shuffling his feet. His eyes were hollow, and his face was pale, like he had emptied his strength.
”Holy crap, was it really that crazy? Why do you look weaker than I am!?” Zhao Manyan was shocked.
Zhao Manyan left the bar, and approached Mo Fan after he did not see Apas around.
Mo Fan glanced at the squinting Zhao Manyan, who had a perverted grin on. He did not even have the strength to greet him.
”How was it? Did you overwork yourself? I thought you were the one going to trample a little flower, but somehow you look like your essence has been sucked dry instead. Nicely done, little Apas is pretty impressive... how was the box I gave you? Did you use it? Did the spiraling beads on them feel great...” Zhao Manyan asked, raising his eyebrows.
Mo Fan kept shuffling his feet like a zombie.
Zhao Manyan touched Mo Fan's pocket and felt the small box in it. He took it out and noticed that the box still had its seal. His eyes widened. ”Mo Fan, seriously? You should be responsible for your actions. How could you not use any safety precautions? What if she ends up pregnant? How are you going to explain yourself to your wives? You should stick to your principles, even if you're cheating!”
Mo Fan walked into an elevator. Zhao Manyan followed him.
He took a closer look at Mo Fan. Something did not feel right about him. He did not look like someone who had just gone through some wild romantic activity. He asked with a serious face, ”What happened? Where's Apas? Why do you look like you are mentally injured? Did someone attack you?”
Mo Fan lifted his eyes. He glanced at the jabbering Zhao Manyan with low spirits and eventually replied, ”If I tell you I just took a Medusa as my Contracted Beast, would you believe me?”
”The same logic applies to a Medusa. There's no way I would believe it. As a matter of fact, if you didn't raise Little Flame Belle, I doubt an Elemental creature with a pure lineage like her would be willing to become anyone's Contracted Beast. You should be satisfied that you already have Little Flame Belle, who is surely going to reach the Ruler-level once she matures, but you're still thinking of having a Medusa as your Contracted Beast too...” Zhao Manyan blabbered on.
”Mm, I don't believe it myself, either,” Mo Fan replied weakly.
”Just go to bed.” Zhao Manyan patted Mo Fan on the shoulder.
Mo Fan was desperate to get some rest. He was so tired that he could not even reflect on the series of events that had occurred not long ago.
In the end, the Queen of the Netherworld had not destroyed Apas' soul. It was not her being merciful, but because Mo Fan had signed a Contract with Apas. If a Contracted Beast's soul was destroyed from the inside, it would inflict serious damage on its owner's soul too, since both souls were bound by the Contract.
