After fully confirming that the Money Coin had failed to copy it, Mo Fan let out a slight sigh. However, he was not particularly disappointed.
This attempt had only been a shot in the dark to test his luck anyway.
As for why it failed, Mo Fan had given it some thought. He figured the most likely reason was that the Money Coin had not yet been fully repaired.
At present, the Money Coin desperately needed the energy from an extreme-grade spirit stone to restore itself. This showed that it greatly required the five-element spiritual power of an extreme-grade spirit stone. So how could it possibly copy a complete extreme-grade spirit stone at the same time?
“In the end, I overthought it!”
Mo Fan gave a wry smile. He took one last reluctant look at the extreme-grade spirit stone, then returned to the place where Granny Sparrow’s physical body rested. He kowtowed three more respectful times to her before finally leaving the Nirvana Pool.
When Mo Fan walked out of the Nirvana Hall, he was surprised to find that both Feng Gu and Old Ancestor Bai Lu were actually there.
“Why are you two here?”
Mo Fan looked at the two demons.
“The Holy King has instructed this old one to take you both to Moon-gazing Valley to broaden your horizons!”
Old Ancestor Bai Lu spoke with a cheerful smile, which allowed Mo Fan to understand that the great demon the Fire Phoenix Holy King had mentioned was actually the one standing in front of him!
“I need to return to Black Wind Mountain first,” Mo Fan said to Old Ancestor Bai Lu.
He did not know how long this trip to Moon-gazing Valley would take, so he needed to go back to Black Wind Mountain first to inform the other demons about the matter. At the same time, he also wanted You Er to read his fortune for him.
Although You Er could not directly divine Mo Fan’s own fate, Mo Fan had his own method.
He would bring one or two great demons along with him. In that way, he could have You Er divine the fortunes of those two great demons instead. Through indirect clues, he could then piece together an idea of his own luck.
He had already tested this approach several times before, and it was relatively accurate!
“No rush. We will go with you. There is still more than half a year left anyway. Besides, Black Wind Mountain is close to Moon-gazing Valley, so it will not delay us too much.”
Old Ancestor Bai Lu said with a smile, then added, “This old one also plans to bring my granddaughter along this time so she can broaden her horizons too!
You are all young demons. I am sure you will get along well with each other. When the time comes, I hope you will take good care of my granddaughter!”
“Old Ancestor Bai Lu, rest assured. I will definitely protect Little Sister Bai Feng well!” Feng Gu cupped his fists slightly.
Mo Fan noticed that this fellow seemed quite polite and proper toward every demon except himself.
At the same time, he inwardly grumbled about Old Ancestor Bai Lu. “This old fellow is playing the granddaughter card again. Is he really bringing her just to broaden her horizons? Clearly he wants to find her a suitable husband!”
Following that, he also expressed to Old Ancestor Bai Lu that he would take good care of Bai Feng.
The attitudes of the two demons pleased Old Ancestor Bai Lu greatly. He looked left and right, clearly delighted, almost as if he wanted to shove his abacus beads right into their faces.
The three demons did not bid farewell to the Fire Phoenix Holy King. They simply left the Fire Phoenix Palace directly.
Because Old Ancestor Bai Lu needed to bring Bai Feng along, Mo Fan had no choice but to follow him to White Feather Mountain first. However, as soon as they arrived at White Feather Mountain, he saw two familiar demons again.
They were none other than Zhan Feng, known as the Great Peng King, and Bai Shuang, the Thorn Demon King!
“Why are you two here?”
Mo Fan felt both surprised and somewhat emotional when he saw the two demons.
He truly had not expected these two to end up together.
“Brother Come Treasure!”
“Your Highness the Holy Son!”
After paying respects to Old Ancestor Bai Lu, Zhan Feng cupped his fists toward Mo Fan and Feng Gu. Meanwhile, Bai Shuang beside him winked at Mo Fan and teased, “Stinky little brother, Big Sister has been waiting here for you for a very long time!”
As soon as these words came out, apart from Zhan Feng who remained calm, all the other demons instinctively looked at Mo Fan, then at Bai Shuang, and finally at Zhan Feng. Their expressions were all rather strange.
Mo Fan felt quite uncomfortable under their gazes. He immediately gave two dry coughs and said to Bai Shuang with a serious face, “What do you mean by that, Thorn Demon King?”
“You heartless little stinker! You used to call me Good Big Sister all the time. Now that Big Sister is married to a demon, you immediately start addressing me by my demon king title?”
Bai Shuang looked at Mo Fan with a face full of resentment. Her words made Mo Fan’s face twitch repeatedly. He instinctively glanced at Zhan Feng, only to see that the fellow was not angry at all. Instead, he even gave Mo Fan a polite smile.
No way. Your demon consort is practically putting a green hat on you right in front of your face, and you can still smile?
Mo Fan felt quite depressed inside. He really was a little afraid of this seductive female demon Bai Shuang. Her courage was truly something else!
Seeing Mo Fan at a loss, Bai Shuang immediately laughed so hard that her chest trembled. She then said with a smile, “Alright, I see your ears are almost red. Big Sister will stop teasing you!”
“As for why we are here, it should be the same reason as yours.”
When Mo Fan heard this, he immediately looked at the two demons in some surprise. “You two are also planning to go to Moon-gazing Valley?”
“Correct. This is at the command of our ancestor!”
Zhan Feng nodded and continued, “This time Moon-gazing Valley has invited great demons from across the world. Golden Domain Mountain is naturally included. However, our ancestor does not plan to attend personally, so he sent us to follow Old Ancestor Bai Lu and broaden our horizons!”
“Broaden horizons?”
A strange expression appeared on Mo Fan’s face.
He did not believe for a moment that this second-generation demon lacked experience. Back at Scarlet Fire Peak, he had seen him stand up to a group of demon kings. This was a demon with real strength!
“Stinky little brother, you do not know. Moon-gazing Valley has ulterior motives this time.
That is why many powerful figures from various demon mountains are not planning to go in person. But they also do not want to offend that Holy King’s face, so they have no choice but to send some trusted and weighty subordinates instead.
Naturally, the younger generation’s most outstanding talents are also included!
So this time, besides being that Holy King’s birthday celebration, Moon-gazing Valley will also become a grand gathering of the demon race’s young prodigies.
As the young prodigies of the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain, we naturally cannot miss this opportunity!”
Seeing that Mo Fan seemed a little unclear, Bai Shuang immediately explained. Then she smiled at Mo Fan again. “Do you not mean to go with us for this very reason?”
“That is not the case. The Holy King arranged for me to go along with you mainly to keep an eye on a certain someone and prevent him from causing trouble.”
Mo Fan winked at the two demons. The Holy Son beside him immediately darkened his face and snorted coldly. “First take care of yourself before you talk. Have you not heard that it will be a grand gathering of prodigies there? Do not cause trouble yourself and then expect this Holy Son to come save you!”
“Then I must thank Your Highness the Holy Son for your concern!”
Mo Fan gave a slight smile and did not take it to heart. As long as this fellow did not go too far, he could not be bothered to care.
Of course, if the fellow really caused a major disturbance later, whether Mo Fan would lend a hand or not would depend entirely on Demon King Come Treasure’s mood!
Seeing that there seemed to be some gunpowder between the two demons, Bai Shuang quickly smiled and said, “Stinky little brother, the Holy Son’s strength is beyond doubt. He is publicly recognised as the number one in combat power among the younger generation in our Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain. Do you really think the Holy King wants you to protect the Holy Son?”
“Are you saying the Holy King deliberately used this as an excuse to make me go to Moon-gazing Valley?”
Mo Fan frowned slightly, then shook his head. He thought to himself, “If the Holy King wanted me to go to Moon-gazing Valley, she could have just said so. Why bother finding such a reason?”
“I did not say that!”
Bai Shuang smiled, then continued, “I do not know what the Holy King is thinking, but I am very clear about your strength. Right now, all the strongest young demons in our entire Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain have gathered here. The answer is already very obvious!
This shows that the journey to Moon-gazing Valley is likely not just a grand gathering of prodigies. It could very well turn into a clash between the prodigies of various demon domains!
So perhaps this is the main reason we have all gathered here!
This time we absolutely cannot disappoint the Holy King!
We also cannot afford to lose face for our Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain!”
