Although Bai Yaoyao’s cultivation was slightly higher than Mo Fan’s, when it came to speed, she was still no match for him. After Mo Fan had teased her for a while, he soon caught hold of her dress.
“Stop running. If you keep running, your clothes might fall off!”
“If you end up exposed, don’t blame this king!”
Mo Fan grinned wickedly, looking triumphant as he waved the hem of her skirt in his hand.
Bai Yaoyao felt helpless and immediately pretended to be aggrieved: “Great King, I won’t dare again. Please spare me this once!”
As soon as she said this, Mo Fan felt a shiver run through him. He sensed a ball of flame slowly rising in his lower abdomen. He quickly released her skirt hem and smiled bitterly: “I’m really not used to you acting like this. Don’t do it again in future. Be careful not to play with fire, or this king might really make you assist in my cultivation!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyao’s cheeks immediately flushed red.
She had not fully understood what Mo Fan meant by “assisting in his cultivation” before, but now, after hearing these words, she suddenly realised. Her heart panicked completely. How could she dare to tease Mo Fan any further?
“Er… How is your research on that Appearance Changing Talisman I gave you last time going?”
Seeing Bai Yaoyao looking embarrassed, Mo Fan had no choice but to change the subject.
“I can already refine it, but the success rate is not high.”
Bai Yaoyao replied immediately. After thinking for a moment, she said: “The Appearance Changing Talisman is different from the Sound Transmission Talisman. I think it’s better if we keep control of this thing ourselves. Otherwise, if the minor demons below get hold of these talismans and cause trouble, Black Wind Mountain will really descend into chaos!”
“That makes sense. It’s just hard on you.”
Mo Fan nodded. He agreed with Bai Yaoyao’s view.
If he were not in such a hurry to cultivate, he would not have easily brought out something like the Appearance Changing Talisman.
But he trusted Bai Yaoyao.
“By the way, there’s something I think I need to tell you.”
Bai Yaoyao seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?”
“Last time, because I lacked some materials for making talismans, I went to the Half-Demon Market. There I ran into Bing Qi and got some information from her.”
Bai Yaoyao said this, then suddenly fell silent. After thinking, she looked at Mo Fan and continued: “Bing Qi said that since their young lady came to congratulate you last time, she took Bing Er and left the market. Apparently, she went to White Sacred Mountain to handle some matters, but there has been no news from her since.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Mo Fan’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Although he and Yun Rou had only met a few times, she had genuinely helped him. Moreover, just because of her relationship as the adopted daughter of White Little Su, he could not ignore it.
Seeing Bai Yaoyao nod, he continued to ask: “When did this happen?”
“Just a month ago!”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Mo Fan frowned.
“Although White Sacred Mountain no longer has a Sacred King, it is still one of the nine great sacred mountains of the demon race. There are bound to be many dangers there, so I didn’t want you to take the risk.
“Moreover, I asked Bing Qi. Yun Rou has often gone to White Sacred Mountain in the past and been away for long periods, so it doesn’t necessarily mean something has happened to her.” Bai Yaoyao said calmly.
“I know Bing Qi. She is straightforward and wouldn’t joke about something like this, especially concerning Yun Rou.”
“Since she chose to tell you this time, she must want to pass the message to me through you. That means even she subconsciously thinks her young lady has probably met with misfortune!”
Mo Fan analysed calmly. He then closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and opened them again. Looking at Bai Yaoyao, he said: “I need to go out for a trip. Watch over Black Wind Mountain for me!”
“You’re really going to White Sacred Mountain?”
Bai Yaoyao frowned upon hearing this.
“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. I know my own limits. If I have no confidence, I won’t take risks lightly!”
Seeing the worry on Bai Yaoyao’s face, Mo Fan could not help smiling faintly at her. He winked and said: “Besides, I didn’t say I was going to White Sacred Mountain, did I?”
“Then what are you going for?” Bai Yaoyao asked, puzzled.
“No matter what, Yun Rou is the adopted daughter of the White Tiger Sacred King, and she has helped me a lot before. Regardless of what the outcome is, I must first go to the Half-Demon Market and take a look.”
Mo Fan’s words made Bai Yaoyao breathe a sigh of relief. She nodded immediately: “Alright then. Remember to come back soon after you go. Perhaps by then I can give you some advice. Even if we have to go to White Sacred Mountain, we can go together. More demons mean greater strength!”
“Rest assured!”
Mo Fan nodded, then shot into the sky.
However, he did not leave Black Wind Mountain immediately. Instead, he headed straight for the kitchen camp at the mountain peak.
Soon after, he found You Er in the kitchen camp, gnawing on a roasted leg of meat that was golden and dripping with oil.
“Dead fatty, stop eating. This king has something for you to help with!”
Mo Fan spoke and, without explanation, grabbed the round You Er and flew out of Black Wind Mountain.
As the cool wind blew against his face, You Er soon snapped awake. With a flip of his hand, he stored the leg meat in his storage ring, wiped the grease from his mouth, and asked curiously: “Great King, where are you taking me?”
“Taking you to a good place!”
“Speaking of which, you’ve almost eaten yourself into a ball. Aren’t you afraid of bursting? This king is just taking you out for some exercise!”
Mo Fan glanced at the fellow. Seeing You Er, fat as a ball, he could not help twitching his facial muscles.
When this guy first came to Black Wind Mountain, he was skinny as a monkey. How long has it been?
Or is the food at Black Wind Mountain really that good now?
“Great King, you’re not going to drill me, are you?”
“Great King, I’ve just eaten a bit more food, that’s all. At most, I occasionally sneak some meat. Don’t do anything rash!”
You Er spoke in fear. In his heart, he wailed: “I’m done for. I knew I shouldn’t have sneaked food. I didn’t expect to get caught by this guy!”
“Last time, that Red Eye fellow said this Toad Great King sometimes has unusual ideas. What do I do now?”
You Er was on the verge of tears. Last time, he had personally heard the horrifying screams from that demonic sect’s direct disciple, the corpse path practitioner, coming from Mo Fan’s cave.
Thinking of this, he panicked completely. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked up at the indifferent Mo Fan, and weakly said: “Great King, can you go easy later? I’m afraid of pain!”
“???”
Mo Fan was instantly filled with question marks. He could not help asking: “What are you talking about, kid? This king isn’t going to eat you?”
“If you want to eat me, I can endure it. But I, You Er, am still a virgin. Great King, can you not be so cruel? At most, I won’t sneak food again!” You Er said mournfully.
Mo Fan finally understood and was utterly thunderstruck. His face twitched repeatedly. If You Er were not so important to Black Wind Mountain, he would have loved to throw him down to his death.
“Damn it, with your several hundred jin of fat meat, this king isn’t interested!”
“Stop polluting this king’s ears with your filthy thoughts!”
Mo Fan cursed angrily. Then he sealed You Er’s cultivation, threw him out, caught him again amid You Er’s screams, and threw him out once more…
“Ah…!!”
“Great King, spare my life!!”
“I won’t dare again!!”
In this way, You Er repeatedly experienced life-and-death speed in the air, terrified and trembling.
