Suddenly, Bai Shuang spoke, catching Mo Fan slightly off guard. She continued, “You know my identity, but you don’t understand how lowly my father is in the Lei Yu family.”
At this, Bai Shuang coughed twice, then sighed, “Even as the first-generation assassin demon, I could never truly be seen as part of the direct line by Lei Yu Zidian, nor could I change my father’s status in Fenglei Mountain.
With his powerful cultivation, Lei Yu Zidian holds the lives of all assassin demons in his grasp, making us nothing but meat on his chopping board!
That includes my father!
And, of course, me…
So I hate him!
I hate the entire Lei Yu family!!”
By the end, Bai Shuang was almost hysterical, her beautiful face twisting with emotion.
Mo Fan didn’t know why she harboured such hatred for the Lei Yu family, but he realised his true identity might have been exposed, because this female demon was too clever!
“So what are you saying? You want to join forces with me against the Lei Yu family?” Mo Fan sneered.
“Why not?”
“At least we share the same enemy!”
Bai Shuang looked at Mo Fan, saying gravely, “There’s a human saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You and I could absolutely work together!”
“Friends? Just moments ago, you wanted to chop off my head!”
Mo Fan sneered, still wary of Bai Shuang.
It wasn’t her strength he feared, but her intelligence, which was far beyond that of an ordinary demon.
As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, Bai Shuang waved her hand, dispersing the protective shield around her body. She stepped forward, stopping just inches from Mo Fan, her breath soft as she said, “Now you should trust my sincerity, right?”
“You…”
Mo Fan frowned, instinctively stepping back. Looking at Bai Shuang, whose beauty rivalled Bai Yaoyao’s, his heart pounded wildly.
“You’re quite an interesting guy. Are you afraid I’ll eat you?”
Seeing Mo Fan retreat, Bai Shuang was momentarily stunned, then covered her mouth and laughed.
It was the first time Mo Fan had seen her smile, and he was instantly captivated.
“No wonder she’s considered one of the twin beauties of Fengming Mountain. This demoness is stunning when she smiles!”
Mo Fan secretly admired her, but he remained highly cautious, not daring to get too close. He said, “We’re not that close yet, so please behave yourself!”
“You’re killing me! Just moments ago, you were so shameless, and now you’re acting all high and mighty?”
“Are you still a virgin?”
Bai Shuang chuckled, making Mo Fan flush with embarrassment. He snapped angrily, “Do you want to die?!”
“Come on, show me how you’ll make me die!”
Bai Shuang pressed closer, forcing Mo Fan to retreat further, which only excited her more. Unexpectedly, a dark figure stepped in front of Mo Fan, saying coldly, “Take your flirting elsewhere!”
“You…!!”
Bai Shuang was furious, glaring fiercely at the man in black before backing off.
Mo Fan let out a sigh of relief. He really didn’t know how to deal with Bai Shuang. He couldn’t kill her, couldn’t touch her, she was like a hedgehog.
“Go!”
“I suddenly thought it might be interesting to plant a thorn in the Lei Yu family’s side!”
Mo Fan sighed, waving at Bai Shuang to signal she could leave.
“See! I told you, you wouldn’t kill me!”
Bai Shuang smiled triumphantly, then asked, “Are you really not interested in my body?”
“Get lost before I change my mind, or I won’t mind letting the turtle demon have a good chat with you about this topic,” Mo Fan said impatiently, glancing at Bai Shuang.
“You…!!”
Bai Shuang was furious but ultimately said nothing more. Perhaps thinking of something, she suddenly smiled and said, “Fine, I’ll go then, Lai Bao, right? Your sister here will remember you!”
“Oh, and don’t die in this Fengming Mountain demon realm. I’m still looking forward to teaming up with you to take down the Lei Yu family!”
With that, Bai Shuang soared into the sky, transforming into a cloud of demon mist and leaving without looking back.
Watching her figure fade into the horizon, Mo Fan let out a long breath.
This Bai Shuang was truly hard to handle.
“Do you believe what she said?” Bai Yi approached Mo Fan, frowning slightly.
“Whether I believe her or not isn’t important. What’s important is we can’t do anything to her, so we have no choice but to trust her,” Mo Fan said with a bitter smile.
“So, Master, you’re not actually the disciple of the White Tiger Holy King?”
Bai Yi frowned, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He realised he might have guessed wrong…
“Does it even matter now?”
Mo Fan looked at Bai Yi, winking at him. The latter gave a wry smile, “Yeah, none of it matters anymore…”
“Is Senior White Tiger Holy King still alive?”
Hei Yi also looked at Mo Fan, her face full of curiosity.
Unlike Bai Yi, she didn’t overthink things. She followed Mo Fan simply because of a promise.
Of course, now she had another reason to follow him.
“I hope he’s still alive!”
Mo Fan looked at the sky, sighing.
Hearing this, the siblings immediately understood everything.
“Master, I’m starting to admire you. You’re like someone walking on the edge of a ten-thousand-foot cliff. That takes a lot of courage!” Bai Yi suddenly laughed.
“Forget you, I’m starting to admire myself.”
Mo Fan shrugged, smiling, “What can I do? With such a grand enterprise, even if I don’t think of myself, I have to think of the kids under my command. Or do you think I enjoy risking my life coming here?”
“Alright, since I’ve chosen this path, there’s no turning back. Let’s keep going and see where it leads!”
Mo Fan sighed, then started walking forward.
Seeing this, Hei Yi immediately followed. Bai Yi and the other two ghost minions turned into three clouds of ghost mist and followed as well.
“Don’t worry. Unless something unexpected happens, there won’t be any more ambushes. No matter my background, for now, I’m still the disciple of the White Tiger Holy King!
Once we enter the true Fengming Mountain and pledge allegiance to a demon ancestor, even the Lei Yu family won’t be able to touch me!”
Mo Fan spoke as he walked.
He had learned from the two demon kings earlier that, due to the rules, no more demon kings would take action in this Feng Pass.
The Lei Yu family’s most powerful demon general was likely Bai Shuang, and now that she was defeated, there shouldn’t be any more danger, so Mo Fan was in relatively good spirits.
“Great King, why are you so sure those demon ancestors will accept you?”
“In your current state, accepting you means offending the Lei Yu family. Would they do that?” Hei Yi asked, puzzled.
Before Mo Fan could answer, Bai Yi responded for him, “The discord among the three demon ancestors of Fengming Mountain is well-known. Others might fear offending the Lei Yu family, but the Bai family and the Zhan family don’t.
Besides, Master is no longer what he once was. Though he hasn’t received the White Tiger Holy King’s direct teachings, he has truly inherited his divine abilities. In a way, Master hasn’t lied; he is indeed the inheritor of the White Tiger Holy King!
With this identity, even if the White Tiger Holy King is no longer alive, not just anyone would dare to touch Master.
Moreover, Master’s current forces are not to be underestimated. His help is worth more than a mid-level king-realm demon king!
This is also very important to those two families!
Of course, the biggest variable is that Holy King. We don’t know what her relationship with Senior White Tiger Holy King was.”
After hearing Bai Yi’s explanation, Hei Yi suddenly understood.
But Mo Fan stopped in his tracks, as if sensing something. He looked up at the sky, where a figure descended rapidly, heading straight for him!
Mo Fan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
“As expected, something unexpected has happened…”
