1665 Could That Be Yan Shi? (2/2)
The prawns were like little shrimps compared to the mouth. The five kilos was only enough to be treated as a snack by the enormous creature.
Mo Fan was not planning to seriously feed the big guy. Knowing his appetite, he could easily spend all his money on food in just minutes!
”I'll come visit you later. I have to go to the Lingyin Temple first!” Mo Fan yelled at the lake.
There was no response from the lake. The creature was most likely enjoying the taste of the prawns.
”Do you really have to force your tastes on everyone around you? Who would even feed him that stuff?” Lingling grunted.
Mo Fan was a foodie, and a stubborn one too. He would stick to the food he liked, and even forced the people around him to eat the same things...
Lingling was utterly speechless, too. How did he even convert the Black Totem Snake, who was used to eating the tasteless fish and prawns in the West Lake, into a fan of different flavors, like the thirteen aromas, spicy, or salt and pepper!
”What...what the hell was that thing!?” Apas asked coldly. She was still trembling.
”Oh, he's a snake too, but I think he's a different kind from you… His tastes are the same as you though, he likes salty food,” Mo Fan replied casually.

The bamboo stand on Lingyin Mountain were its most beautiful features. The wind would play a naturally pleasant melody when it blew through the trees. In the summer, people would find a relaxing spot and place a mat down, bringing along a nice pot of tea. The environment was more relaxing than any coffee shops or bars. It felt like their hearts were being purified by nature.
The soothing night breeze kept coming. Apas was from the dry desert in the west, so she had never experienced the natural scenery in the east. The fear she had felt previously had long dissipated. Her eyes were sparkling as she surveyed her surroundings.
Leaving aside her terrifying identity, Apas was no different than an ordinary girl. She was curious about everything around her.
”There's nothing to get so excited about,” Lingling murmured under her breath.
”Malnourished girl, what are the holes on these stones for?” Apas asked haughtily.
Malnourished?
Lingling subconsciously looked down at herself when she heard the term. Her face darkened immediately!
Since Apas' appearance resembled Europeans, her body had matured earlier, just like most European girls. Some European girls around the age of fourteen already had the physique of an Asian woman at the age of twenty. Apas was slightly older than Lingling… her age and her genes had given her a huge advantage in terms of height and feminine features!

”Mo Fan, you finally came to visit me!” Tang Zhong was surprised to see Mo Fan at Lingyin Mountain, and received him with a warm smile.
”I didn't come to visit you. I heard from Leng Qing that there's a Deer God under the Tree of Vows. I happened to find the Horn of the Deer God when I was overseas. It might be related to a Totem Beast, so I came to ask you about it,” Mo Fan explained.
”I've only heard the legend from a senior. She has been in seclusion for a long time. I only have her address. You can try and ask her. She knows the tale better than I do,” Tang Zhong said.
Tang Zhong took out a pen and wrote down an address.
Mo Fan grabbed the paper and looked at the address briefly. He instinctively shifted his gaze to Nighthawk.
”Hey, stop treating me like a taxi driver. I'm a Vice Head of the Enforcement Union now, it's not like I have nothing better to do!” Nighthawk grumbled.
”Mo Fan, don't you think the address seems a little familiar?” Mu Ningxue said.
”Yantai?” Mo Fan took a closer look at the address.
”Yeah, Yantai, the old senior retired a long time ago. It's such a pity, too. If she hadn't chosen to retire, she would most likely be a Forbidden Mage by now.” Tang Zong sighed heavily. ”The impermanence of life, that tragedy was too much to bear for her. She lost her will, why would she care about becoming a Forbidden Mage or not?”.
”Are you… talking about Yan Shi?” Mo Fan asked.
”Yan Shi? I have no idea who you're referring to. Her name is Lu Yi. She was once the Head of the Enforcement Union! She was also the old Councilman Jiang Xia's wife, but her influence greatly surpassed Jiang Xia's back in the days. Senior Lu Yi is the main reason why our country's Enforcement Union has its current status, including the reason why it is well-known in other countries!” Tang Zhong told him.
Lu Yi was long a reputable Mage when Tang Zhong was still a newbie. Tang Zhong was temporarily assigned to her on a mission. He still remembered it clearly even today. It was his first time talking to his goddess. He was so nervous that he had stammered while talking to her.
Lu Yi was considered the symbol of an era, but no one had expected the choice she made in the end...
