“Does the difference in color indicate they are not the same species?” Mo Fan asked.

“Mm! They might be trickier to deal with than the Salamander Demons in the Thousand Islands Lake, so if we want to prepare ourselves in advance, we need to familiarize ourselves with them first and figure out their weaknesses…” Lingling confirmed.

“I don’t understand, why would nature allow such a species that goes against the rules to exist?” Mo Fan shook his head helplessly.

Mo Fan knew how much of a threat a Great Salamander Demon could pose after encountering the Salamander Demons in the Thousand Islands Lake. He initially thought the world was safer after taking out the Great Salamander Demon. To his surprise, the numbers of Great Salamander Demons in the Pacific Ocean were so overwhelming! They were producing the shelled demon creatures like machines! If they did not find a way to take care of them, the land might soon be overrun by the demon creatures. They were a lot deadlier than the Sandstorm Demon Locusts!

“Humans aren’t any better,” Lingling pointed out.

Mo Fan gaped. He was lost for words when Lingling suddenly mentioned that out of the blue.

That being said, Lingling was absolutely right, too! Humans were exactly the same, occupying and bringing destruction wherever they went. If nature could tolerate humans, why couldn’t they allow such disastrous clouds of demon creatures to exist?

“Forget it, it’s something that the Shoreline Alliance should be worried about. If they do show up, I’ll just beat the crap out of them. Let’s talk about Jiang Xia for now,” Mo Fan changed the subject.

“The Tree of Vows is in the Qinling Mountains. Jiang Xia has marked the specific location for us,” Lingling said.

“That’s great, we’ll set out next month!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

It was easier to find the Totem Beasts if they had clues to follow. It meant he was not far away from reaching the Super Level!

“It’s only the start of the month. Why are we waiting until next month?” Lingling asked, confused.

Based on her understanding of Mo Fan’s personality, he would normally set out the following day whenever they found a new clue. He was a Space Mage too. He would normally keep necessities and supply in the storage of his Space Element, thus he could easily set out on a journey the next day.

“A little girl like you shouldn’t ask too many questions. Anyway, you should focus on finding more information about the Tree of Vows…” Mo Fan answered.

“Someone has tasted the forbidden fruit. He’s planning to indulge his desires for a little longer,” Apas interrupted.

“Apas, can’t you behave more like a little girl? How could you eavesdrop and peep at us?” Mo Fan glared at Apas.

“I don’t really give a damn, but it’s hard not to guess what happened when your blissful emotions are being reflected to me!” Apas looked at Mo Fan disdainfully.

She initially thought this man was different from the others after learning how capable he was, yet he too was rampant in his sexual desires. He was clearly overreacting. He had been like this for the entire day, as if he was going to drift into the clouds if he was not held down by a string.

“What do you know? You might be beautiful, but you’re just an immature little kid compared to my Mu Ningxue. It’s the reason why you’ve failed to seduce me even when you kept calling me Brother Mo Fan; my heart is already protected by my goddess!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“Do you really need a month for that? Can’t you finish your business in just a night?” Lingling said blatantly.

Mo Fan burst out coughing, left speechless by Lingling’s comment.

Why did he have a feeling that the two little girls were more experienced than him? They did not even blush when discussing the topic. Why were their tones and expressions so pure and natural?

Lingling was not pleased. She would be extremely bored if Mo Fan was going to indulge in his fantasies

However, she obviously had no chance of convincing Mo Fan, especially when he had already lost his mind. She had no choice but to spend some boring days in Fanxue Mountain. If she returned to the Magic City, she would be forced to go back to school, even though it was full of retards. She could keep her freedom if she stayed in Fanxue Mountain.

Apas was extremely curious about everything. Since Mo Fan was indulging in his desires, Lingling had no choice but to bethe one to show Apas around Fanxue Mountain.

“Why did I keep seeing blue moths around here?” Apas asked her.

Lingling had silently brought Apas to a remote spot in the woods. They arrived at a forest filled with with beautiful peach blossoms. The bright colors and elegant sight immediately attracted Apas’ attention. She blurted out excitedly, “What are these? Why are they so pretty?”

The peach blossoms continued to the waist of the mountain, where a delicate wooden hut stood. Its roof, garden, and windows were covered by intelligent blue moths.

It was almost evening, and the blue moths had woken from their sleep. Their wings were as dazzling as colorful butterflies, weaving through a garden of flowers. The dusk’s light sprinkled onto the trees, the hut, and the blue moths.

“Can you please control your foul snake’s aura? The little creatures here don’t even dare to move because of your presence!” Lingling turned around and glared at Apas when she noticed the blue moths freezing in place. They were too scared to lift off into the air.

“It’s a natural intimidation between creatures of different levels. It has nothing to do with my aura. These little creatures are pretty sensitive. Most creatures won’t even notice it. I like them!” Apas replied.

The door of the wooden hut swung open while they were talking. A woman in plain clothing walked out elegantly from the hut. Her eyes were glittering like stars. She smiled gently when she saw Lingling in the garden.

“Something… doesn’t feel right about her,” Apas observed the woman who had come out of the hut. The look in her eyes shifted.

The woman noticed Apas’ presence too, and immediately went on alert. If Lingling had not been standing beside Apas, Yu Shishi would not have acted so calmly.

“These blue moths are hers,” Lingling said.

“No wonder, they have inherited the intelligence of their leader!” Apas exclaimed.

“Lingling, who is this?” Yu Shishi asked.

“A snake demon from Africa,” Lingling replied succinctly.

Lingling had come to Yu Shishi because something about the Qinling Mountains was troubling her.

The region of the Qinling Mountains they were going to was occupied by a bunch of demon butterflies. The demon butterflies might be a huge nuisance to deal with. Lingling thought that since her moths were species similar to the butterflies, she might learn the demon butterflies’ weaknesses from Yu Shishi.

“About that, I’m not really familiar with the demon butterflies. I will only figure it out after seeing them in person. Say, come find me when you’re setting out for the Qinling Mountains. I’m looking for the leaves of Moon Mulberry Trees from the Qinling Mountains, too. We can go together!” Yu Shishi exclaimed happily.

Yu Shishi happened to be troubled by the supply of leaves of Moon Mulberry Trees.

The leaves were for the little Moon Moth Phoenix. The special trees could only be found in the Qinling Mountains. Without them, the Moon Moth Phoenix would never evolve from her current form of a little silkworm!
