Seeing Niu Xiaosheng learning and applying it on the spot.
Mo Fan’s face twitched.
What a cheap guy, he started copying it right away!
“Brother… Niu?”
Hei Yi was also quite shocked by the item in Niu Xiaosheng’s hand, but she understood how incredibly valuable it was. She immediately declined: “This fruit is too precious. How could I possibly accept it?”
Hearing Hei Yi call him Brother Niu, Niu Xiaosheng’s face bloomed into a huge smile. He became very excited and said: “Of course you can accept it!”
“Although this Demon Spirit Fruit is a heavenly-grade spirit fruit, it does not help much with breaking through realms. However, it contains extremely rich demonic energy and spiritual energy. If you eat it, you might even be able to use it to break through to the peak of the king realm!”
Niu Xiaosheng looked completely sincere and tried to force the fruit into Hei Yi’s hands.
“Brother Niu, something this valuable, I really dare not accept it!”
Hei Yi kept refusing. She had already seen through Niu Xiaosheng’s intentions long ago, so she absolutely could not accept the Demon Spirit Fruit. She immediately shot Mo Fan a pleading look for help.
Mo Fan understood at once when he saw this. He walked over directly and snatched the Demon Spirit Fruit from Niu Xiaosheng’s hand.
Niu Xiaosheng’s eyes instantly turned red!
Damn it, you already got the Earth Marrow True Spirit Liquid for free just now, and now you’re at it again?
Do you really think this Little Saint Grandpa is a pushover?!
“No, you damn…”
Niu Xiaosheng was furious and just opened his mouth when Mo Fan interrupted him right away: “Brother Niu, that’s not how you give gifts. Watch your big brother teach you!”
“Hm?”
Niu Xiaosheng’s mind went blank for a moment. He did not quite understand what Mo Fan meant.
Then he watched as Mo Fan handed the Demon Spirit Fruit to Hei Yi with a gentle smile: “Hei Yi, this item is helpful for your cultivation. Since Brother Niu is so generous, don’t be too polite with him. Just accept it!”
“This…”
Seeing that Hei Yi was still a little hesitant, Mo Fan added: “I believe Brother Niu is giving this fruit of his own free will and has absolutely no other intentions!”
“This king believes in Brother Niu’s character!”
After saying that, Mo Fan turned his head towards Niu Xiaosheng and grinned: “Brother Niu, am I right?”
“Uh uh… Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Niu Xiaosheng nodded quickly, only hoping Hei Yi would accept it immediately.
“See? Brother Niu said there are no other intentions. It’s just purely giving you a fruit. If you still feel a bit embarrassed, then just treat it as a gift from this king!”
Mo Fan grinned again and then said to Niu Xiaosheng: “Brother Niu, I can decide on this item, right?”
“Uh…”
Niu Xiaosheng’s smile froze for a moment. He felt something was a bit off, but when he saw the expectant look on Hei Yi’s face, he immediately waved his hand grandly!
“Big brother, what are you saying?”
“We are sworn brothers. Whatever belongs to this Little Saint naturally belongs to big brother to decide!”
Mo Fan immediately beamed with joy. He handed the Demon Spirit Fruit to Hei Yi again and smiled: “Now it’s fine, right?”
“Mm!”
Hei Yi nodded, no longer hesitated, took the Demon Spirit Fruit and said gratefully to Mo Fan: “Thank you, Great King!”
“No need to be polite. You are a demon of my Black Wind Mountain. If this king does not help you, who will?”
Mo Fan waved his hand dismissively. Meanwhile, Niu Xiaosheng finally realised what had happened and immediately looked dumbfounded.
So you pulled off another borrow-flowers-to-offer-Buddha move?
I give the treasure, and you take the credit?!
Niu Xiaosheng immediately felt dizzy. His body swayed, and the whole demon felt unwell…
“Brother Niu, are you alright?”
Mo Fan looked at him with a concerned face.
“No… it’s nothing. Just need a moment to recover…”
Niu Xiaosheng waved his hand. He sat dejectedly on the demon cloud, clearly having taken a heavy blow.
Not far away, Giant Demon Ancestor saw this and could not help shaking his head.
His own Saint Son was good in every way except being too devoted. He was nothing like his playboy father!
Bai Yi also sighed silently when he saw this. He thought to himself: “I thought this guy was straightforward, but it turns out he is really stupid! Can I really feel at ease handing Hei Yi over to him…”
Perhaps because he had been hit hard, Niu Xiaosheng spent the rest of the time shaking his head and sighing, lost in thought. In any case, he no longer went to bother Hei Yi.
Hei Yi saw this and quietly let out a breath of relief. She quite enjoyed the peace and quiet.
“I didn’t realise your charm was so strong. All the female demons around you like you one after another!”
Suddenly, a voice entered Mo Fan’s ear. He turned his head and saw it was Yun Rou, who had been resting with her eyes closed beside him. He immediately smiled and transmitted back: “This king’s charm has always been great. This king cannot deny that!”
Yun Rou raised her brow slightly upon hearing this and transmitted: “You really are not modest at all. No wonder Niu Xiaosheng was so angry because of you!
With such thick skin, it’s no surprise all the female demons like you!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Mo Fan rolled his eyes. He instantly realised what was going on. Was this woman jealous?
“So among those female demons is also Your Highness the Saintess?” Mo Fan grinned and transmitted back.
“Hmph! Keep dreaming!” Yun Rou gave a cold snort, sounding a little coquettish.
Hearing this, Mo Fan was immediately stunned. He had actually guessed correctly!
He was no longer a novice in romance. He naturally understood Yun Rou’s feelings. Combined with the words spoken by Soldier Seven and Soldier Nine during the earlier rescue of Yun Rou, his heart began to beat faster.
“Ahem… Um, I only treat Hei Yi as a younger sister. Don’t misunderstand and get jealous!”
“Also, this king admits he is quite popular with female demons. That just proves this king is excellent enough!
But feelings are about mutual attraction. It does not mean that just because other female demons like this king, this king must accept them.
Loving every one he sees and sleeping with every one he loves is not true love. That is just venting the beastly impulses inside!
Only when this king likes the other party and the other party happens to like this king too, can that be called love!”
“What you said makes some sense. So do you love me?”
The sudden transmission caught Mo Fan off guard.
He looked at Yun Rou and saw that she had already opened her eyes. Her beautiful gaze was fixed firmly on him.
“Uh… is that very important?”
Mo Fan blinked at her.
“Isn’t it important?”
Yun Rou still stared at him without blinking.
Seeing that this female demon was serious, Mo Fan fell silent. He began to ask himself what his feelings towards Yun Rou really were.
The conclusion was rather messy.
Did he like her?
Of course. Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful female demon?
But love?
That seemed a bit too strong. He had not met Yun Rou many times in total. The only period they had spent together for any length of time was during their days at White Saint Mountain.
So after a long silence, Mo Fan finally transmitted: “I… I don’t know either…”
“I understand!”
Yun Rou’s bright gaze instantly dimmed.
“At least right now, I don’t dislike you!”
Seeing that Yun Rou’s mood seemed low, Mo Fan hurriedly transmitted again.
Upon hearing this, Yun Rou’s dim gaze brightened once more, and it shone several times brighter than before!
“I understand!”
She nodded at Mo Fan and transmitted: “I will give you time. I will wait for you!”
This time Mo Fan did not reply. Instead he patted his own head and asked himself: “Damn it, when that female demon’s mood dropped just now, why did my mood fluctuate along with hers?
Could this king really have fallen in love with her?
Or have I fallen in love with her?”
As a soul with advanced thinking and shaped by moral civilisation, Mo Fan believed he could see through other people’s emotions clearly. But when it came to himself, he felt confused.
So this was what feelings were like: hazy, vague, unclear yet so easily moving the heart!
In the blink of an eye, a long time passed again.
When Mo Fan’s group arrived at the outskirts of Moon Gazing Valley, less than a month remained until the half-year deadline!
Looking at the land ahead shrouded in demonic energy, Mo Fan’s heart could not help surging with excitement. His eyes blazed with battle intent!
There, the grand gathering of the entire demon race’s prodigies would be held!
