Chapter 2203 - Tough Skull (2/2)

Thud!

Something tripped Mo Fan out of nowhere. It sounded like a metallic artifact.

Rumors said the Mountain Men too had submitted themselves to the ancient gods and Totem beasts just like humans, but they eventually took the path of demon creatures instead of magic civilization. Most of the Totem Containers had fallen into their hands.

Therefore, the Mountain Men possessed a lot of valuable ancient artifacts. Mo Fan could tell the thing he had kicked was something precious.

He picked up the object from a pile of ashes. Little Flame Belle wanted to join in on the fun, and puffed up her cheeks and blew at the thing that resembled a container.

Cough cough cough!, Mo Fan started hacking. Little Flame Belle mimicked her father and started coughing, too.

Mo Fan flicked Little Flame Belle on the forehead and rolled his eyes at her before inspecting the ancient artifact.

“A skull?” Mo Fan blurted out in disappointment when he realized what it was.

It was just a skull? What the heck? He had searched the entire cave and only found a skull in the end?

What the heck was a skull good for? Mo Fan threw it on the ground in a fit of anger.

“Ling!~” Little Flame Belle surprisingly picked the skull up and handed it back to Mo Fan.

“What now? You like playing with skulls too? What kind of fetish is that?” Mo Fan shunned it.

“Ling!~” Little Flame Belle tried her best to express her thoughts.

“You’re saying that your heavenly flames would have melted an ordinary skull, right? Fine, it’s a very tough skull. You can keep it as your toy. I don’t want it.” Mo Fan ignored Little Flame Belle.

Little Flame Belle actually kept the skull as her toy. It was strange seeing such an adorable little creature holding a skull with both hands.

Mo Fan touched the skull and wondered aloud, “Speaking of which, why does the skull feel a little cold in my hands? That’s not possible, especially after we just cooked it with our flames. Forget it, I’ll find someone to appraise it once we are back. We won’t know its secrets even if we inspect it here.”

——

Little Flame Belle continued to play with the tough skull on their way back. She would burn it with her heavenly flames at times, but not only was the skull still intact, it did not even heat up! Little Flame Belle was amazed.

“Your daughter seems to have an odd interest,” Zhao Manyan laughed upon seeing that.

Mo Fan was getting a headache too. Perhaps Little Flame Belle had never seen something that her heavenly flames could not destroy, so she was stubbornly having a showdown with the skull.

Mo Fan felt sorry for the skull, too. It was already a skull, yet Little Flame Belle was still torturing it continuously with her flames. Couldn’t she let it rest in peace instead?

“Mu Bai, did you find anything suspicious at the plantation?” Mo Fan asked.

Mu Bai shook his head.

There was not a single trace of the Frenzy Poppies. It seemed like they were wrong about the place.

“It’s fine, we have plenty of time to investigate them all,” Mo Fan shrugged.

“Yes, we should be right on the track. It’s only a matter of time until we find them,” Mu Bai agreed.

“We are going to be rich once we get back. We now have the capital to bet on the magic duels!” Zhao Manyan seemed to have forgotten about the Black Vatican, and was caught up in the competition between the guest lecturers.
