Bai Tian Tian was just about to leave when Mo Fan called out to stop her.
“Anything else?” Bai Tian Tian asked coldly.
“Er…”
Looking at the icy expression on her face, Mo Fan felt rather at a loss. He was inwardly speechless, wondering which of her nerves had misfired. Why had she suddenly turned so cold when everything had been fine moments ago?
Could it be because he had deliberately used the alcohol as an excuse to force himself on her?
Thinking of this, Mo Fan could not help giving a wry smile.
There was nothing he could do. Bai Tian Tian was simply too beautiful!
If her true form had not been such a complete turn-off for him, he would have gone through with it no matter what!
“Sorry, I really was drunk just now…”
Mo Fan gave her an awkward, bitter smile and apologised.
“No, you were only tipsy, not drunk!”
“If you had truly been drunk, you would have collapsed on the floor long ago. How could you still have the energy to flirt with me?”
Bai Tian Tian snorted coldly, instantly seeing through his act.
“Cough cough… well, do you remember that I once said I would give you a present?”
Mo Fan, embarrassed enough to start digging a three-bedroom flat with his toes, hurriedly scratched his head and changed the subject to cover his awkwardness.
“If the present you meant was molesting me, then I remember it well. In future, stay away from me when you have nothing better to do!” Bai Tian Tian frowned.
“Uh, no, Tian Tian, you’ve misunderstood!”
“Don’t call me Tian Tian. Are we that close?”
Bai Tian Tian snorted again and said indifferently, “You may call me Bai Tian Tian, or Lady Bai. That’s what everyone else calls me anyway…”
Before she could finish, a crystalline ice pearl appeared in Mo Fan’s hand.
“This is…?”
Staring at the pearl, Bai Tian Tian’s eyes instantly widened.
She sensed a terrifying aura emanating from it, an absolute bloodline suppression!
Through the pearl she could even see an ice frost dragon thrashing and swimming within.
It was a dragon pearl!
“This pearl is called the Ice Frost Dragon Pearl. It was refined from the demon core and the complete bloodline power of an ice frost dragon, so it contains that dragon’s bloodline inheritance.
Whoever refines this pearl can obtain the inheritance inside!”
Mo Fan spoke calmly, then casually tossed the Ice Frost Dragon Pearl to Bai Tian Tian with a faint smile. “Now, it belongs to you!”
“This… this is the present you were talking about?”
Bai Tian Tian instinctively caught the pearl and looked at Mo Fan in astonishment.
“This king may be a tiny bit lecherous sometimes, but that’s just male demon nature. You can’t judge me solely on certain incidents and decide my brain is filled entirely with dirty thoughts. That would really hurt my feelings.” Mo Fan gave another wry smile.
Hearing this, Bai Tian Tian could not help laughing, though she quickly suppressed it again and snorted. “Who made you bully me?”
“If you think this will make me apologise, you can forget it!”
“Whether you apologise or not doesn’t matter. Can I still call you ‘Tian Tian’?” Mo Fan looked at her very seriously.
“Do whatever you want!”
Bai Tian Tian pouted, but immediately frowned again. “If this really is a dragon pearl, it must be incredibly precious. Refining it could even grant a massive cultivation boost. Are you truly willing to give it to me?”
“I prepared it specifically for you.”
With that single sentence, Mo Fan sent fresh, violent ripples across the heart-lake that had only just calmed in Bai Tian Tian.
“Mo Fan, thank you!”
Bai Tian Tian took a deep breath and finally looked at him with utter sincerity.
“Don’t get all mushy on me. Hurry up and take this thing away to refine it. Only when your cultivation rises can you serve this king better!”
Mo Fan rolled his eyes, then suddenly added, “About the Three Saints Island matter, there’s no need to rush. The reason I kept those three fellows here is precisely to warn the people on Three Saints Island who hurt you.
If they have the guts, let them come here themselves!
Otherwise, when this king is strong enough, it will be their turn to tremble!”
Regarding Three Saints Island, Mo Fan naturally wanted to seek justice for Bai Tian Tian, but he also knew it could not be rushed. With his current strength he was still insufficient, so he could only bide his time.
He said this to steady her heart, worried that once her strength broke through she might go off alone for revenge and end up falling into another trap.
“I understand. Don’t worry, before I have absolute certainty I won’t act rashly.
I’ve already waited so many years; a few more won’t matter.”
Bai Tian Tian nodded, waved at Mo Fan, and then shot into the sky clutching the Ice Frost Dragon Pearl.
Next, Mo Fan summoned the various commanders and some peak demon-soldier cultivators to step forward and began another round of distributing cultivation resources.
As for the gifts received during the demon king grand ceremony, he bestowed most of them as rewards.
Among them, the three Blood Bodhi and some spiritual medicines that could increase demon generals’ cultivation were directly granted to the General Hall, sending the monkey demons into raptures.
Even the Golden Feather Divine Armour was bestowed.
Originally he had planned to give it to He Feifei, since she was nominally Black Wind Mountain’s number one demon general.
But He Feifei refused, knowing full well she was not the strongest in combat, and yielded this precious opportunity to Wolf Fierce Fierce.
No demon disputed Wolf Fierce Fierce’s strength; it was plain for all to see.
Even Sun Bai, the strongest in the General Hall, acknowledged it.
In a life-and-death fight, even he was no match for Wolf Fierce Fierce.
Though surprised, Wolf Fierce Fierce did not decline. With the Golden Feather Divine Armour, he could finally unleash the full power of a king-realm great demon!
He refined the armour on the spot and demonstrated its hidden divine ability for Mo Fan.
The ability was called “Golden Feather Blade Slash”. In battle, the two wings of the armour could detach as feather blades to slice enemies, unleashing extremely powerful offensive might!
As for the Thousand-Year Dragonwood Core that could allow a peak demon general to break through to demon king realm, Mo Fan ultimately granted it to Sun Bai.
Although the Thousand-Year Dragonwood Core possessed astonishing healing properties, in Mo Fan’s view it was far more cost-effective to use it to raise another king-realm great demon.
As for healing, as long as they kept Mister Pig well fed, they would never be short of it.
One Mister Pig was worth who-knows-how-many Thousand-Year Dragonwood Cores in healing capacity.
Though Sun Bai received the core, he still needed time to refine it, so he could not break through to king realm immediately.
Several days later, the strength of every demon on Black Wind Mountain had risen by a huge margin!
The number of demon generals shot up from just over ten to nearly fifty!
All of this was naturally thanks to the friendly sponsorship from Bai Shuang and Old Ancestor White Deer, plus the Roc Spirit Fruits sent by the Peng Demon King.
Every single commander broke through to demon general realm without exception, leaving Cha Cha, Red Eyes, Mister Pig, and the others excited for days.
Mo Fan himself returned to his seclusion chamber. Looking at the figure in front of him who looked exactly like himself, he immediately broke into a wide grin.
It was a white-robed Mo Fan, who at that moment also smiled back.
The scene looked utterly bizarre!
