Mo Fan never imagined that what Hei Yi’s tail-whip injected was not poison, but a surge of aphrodisiac energy. He could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous force travelled along the whip, yanking his entire body backwards.
In the blink of an eye, fragrant warmth assaulted his senses. When he looked up, Hei Yi’s exquisitely beautiful face was only inches away.
At that moment, triumph shone in her eyes. She smiled at the extremely close Mo Fan and said, “My king, you may not capsize in the gutter, but underestimating an opponent will still cost you dearly!”
“Ahem… hurry and let me go!”
Mo Fan coughed awkwardly.
“I won’t!”
“You… stop fooling around. You’ve really done me in this time!”
Feeling the restless heat in his lower abdomen, Mo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.
If he were not worried that breaking free by force would injure Hei Yi, he would already have acted without mercy.
Seeing the serious expression on Mo Fan’s face, Hei Yi did not dare to keep teasing him. She instantly released the tail-whip.
Mo Fan breathed a quiet sigh of relief, then erupted his demon core power to forcibly suppress that restless energy. Frowning slightly, he asked, “What exactly was that power you just used?”
“I’m not completely sure myself. I only know it’s a very peculiar energy that emerged from the tail-whip. It seems capable of disturbing an enemy’s mind?” Hei Yi replied, sounding uncertain.
Clearly, even she had only used this power for the first time.
Mo Fan remained highly sceptical and pressed again, “Are you really unaware what kind of power this is?”
“I really don’t know…”
Hei Yi shook her head quickly, but the flush on her cheeks betrayed her.
Mo Fan’s cheek twitched. He immediately put on a solemn expression and said, “This ability can save your life at a critical moment. Remember never to use it carelessly!”
After leaving those words, he shot straight into the sky and soon vanished from sight.
It took a full half-day of circulating his demon core before Mo Fan finally expelled that lewd energy completely. At the same time, he formed a rough guess about its nature.
Legend had it that dragons and chi-dragons were extremely lustful. Mo Fan suspected this power was related to that trait. What puzzled him was why, despite also possessing some chi-dragon characteristics, he had not inherited this particular ability.
For Mo Fan, this was undeniably a small regret.
After all, this thing was not a toxin. In his view, it was more like a genetic hormone, the perfect tool for surprise attacks, utterly impossible to defend against.
From that day onward, every time he saw Hei Yi, he had to stay on guard, terrified that one careless moment would ruin his purity…
For the next period of time, Mo Fan calmly refined both his golden core and demon core. In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Over the vast ocean, two blazing suns streaked across the sky.
One illuminated the sea below while the other sped past, causing some lesser sea demons to rub their eyes in disbelief, wondering if they were seeing things.
Mo Fan had long grown accustomed to encountering demons in the ocean.
He had always assumed all demon tribes lived either in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains or were kept as livestock by humans on the Divine Domain continent. He never expected demons to inhabit the seas as well.
However, the ocean was simply too enormous. Even if demons existed here, meeting them was rare.
At first, a few short-sighted demons had tried to ambush Mo Fan for his treasures, but without exception they were all slain. By searching their souls, Mo Fan learned these demons had no organised factions; they were merely scattered strays.
Even so, he still obtained information about some formidable locations from them, such as the Dragon Palace and the Oceanic Abyss, places rumoured to house Demon Ancestors.
Though curious, Mo Fan did not go to investigate, wary of unexpected complications.
After crossing the ocean for a full two months, he finally spotted signs of human presence.
To avoid drawing human attention, he immediately descended to the sea surface, sat in the small boat, and had Xiao Huang completely conceal his demonic aura. He also told Xiao Huang to release Yu Nian.
The reason for bringing Yu Nian out was to dispel suspicion.
After all, who would suspect a vicious pirate travelling openly with a frail woman?
Aboard the deck of a large sea vessel, a richly dressed young man was pressing a woman’s head downward while a vicious look spread across his face.
“Mmph, mmph…”
The woman struggled desperately, but to no avail. In the end she was forced to perform a foul act.
With a low moan, the viciousness on the youth’s face gradually transformed into enjoyment.
Suddenly, however, he froze. He released the woman’s head, and instinctively rubbed his eyes.
“What the hell!”
Frowning, he grabbed the woman’s long hair, yanked her up from the deck, and demanded, “Did you see that just now?”
“Su Ze, you will die a horrible death!”
The woman gnashed her teeth, glaring at him with murderous hatred, as though she wished to devour him alive.
“Damn it, I almost forgot. Your head was buried just now. How could you have seen it?”
Su Ze swore, then backhanded her across the face, sending her sprawling.
“I merely commandeered your family’s ship for a while.
Serving this young master is your honour. Don’t be so ungrateful!
Think carefully about that useless husband of yours. He’s in my hands. I’m sure Madam doesn’t want anything to happen to him, right?”
Su Ze laughed sinisterly. The woman’s face instantly paled. She cursed loudly, “You’re nothing but a beast!
My father will never let you get away with this!”
“Your father? That hypocrite Song Renjun who’s always preaching benevolence and righteousness?”
Su Ze sneered. Then his eyes spun as an idea struck him. He gave a wicked grin and said, “But you’ve reminded me of something splendid!
How about next time we put on an even more exciting show right in front of your dear father?”
“No… no!!”
The woman trembled all over, her face filled with terror.
“Heh! I just love that expression of yours. Then it’s happily decided!”
“Hahahaha…!!”
Su Ze threw his head back and laughed…
