“Your Highness, what do you think?” Valentine asked Xinxia, inviting her input.

“It’s not a bad suggestion,” Xinxia nodded.

Xinxia noticed Mo Fan’s expression after she finished speaking.

Mo Fan was still confused and ready to refute all this when Xinxia’s voice entered his mind, speaking to him with Psychic Voice, “Brother Mo Fan, just accept it for now.”

Mo Fan was not going to turn down the challenge after Xinxia encouraged him.

“Mister Mo Fan, what do you think? You feel like Tuis was disrespecting your family, and Tuis feels like you were dishonoring his clan. The Parthenon Temple has always been lenient toward capable young men who have made great contributions to us. Why don’t you prove yourself, instead of leaving the matter to us?” Valentine encouraged him with a peaceful smile.

“It’s fine by me!” Mo Fan nodded.

“I don’t mind either,” Tuis grinned, as if he had already won the duel.

No one was better at dealing with the Tyrant Titans than him!

“Then I guess I, Valentine, and Knight Poseidon will be the witnesses of the competition. Do the Saintesses agree with this?” Valentine inquired.

Asha’ruiya nodded. Xinxia did as well.

“I can’t stay at the same place with someone who dishonors my clan. If he loses the competition, the Parthenon Temple will forever ban him from entering the Sacred Mountain!” Tuis declared.

A competition without stakes was no different from a fistfight between two kids!

“Not a problem,” Mo Fan agreed instantly. “However, if you lose… it’s not reasonable to ban you from entering the Parthenon Temple, since your clan is supposed to serve it. How about this? If you lose, you will have to live on Crete until the Tyrant Titan’s invasion is over.”

“Crete?” Tuis was startled.

The island of Crete might have elegant views and soothing weather, but it was like the countryside compared to Athens. Tuis was fond of living in the capital. The island of Crete was like a borderland compared to the Parthenon Temple and the Sacred Mountain!

It was a huge price to pay. Tuis felt like the conditions were unfair to him, since Mo Fan was only a guest of the Parthenon Temple. Being forbidden from entering the Parthenon Temple was not really a serious price for him to pay!

“You will have to bow before our ancestors and admit you are wrong too,” Tuis added another condition.

“Sure,” Mo Fan agreed without any hesitation.

Tuis finally smiled. If Mo Fan had to bow and admit he was wrong, it meant the Saintess Xinxia was lowering her head, too! That was the respect the Tuis were hoping to get!

After the banquet, Mo Fan went to the little mansion with a great view of the twilight that he had been missing a lot. It felt great to be related to a Saintess. Most officials did not even have the chance to stay at the mansion. Most importantly, there were a few well-educated girls around sixteen years old serving guests twenty-four hours every day!

Xinxia was not so strict with him, and was willing to appoint beautiful ladies to take care of him, unlike Mu Ningxue, who did not even allow a female cat to be within a hundred meters of his place. Why did Mu Ningxue never trust him?

“Brother Mo Fan, aren’t you curious?” Xinxia turned her head to the side and asked him. She was sitting on the swing on the balcony.

“Not at all,” Mo Fan answered.

Xinxia pouted as if she was displeased by the answer. Why couldn’t he just follow the script?

Mo Fan was amused by Xinxia’s reaction. He placed his hand on Xinxia’s head and fondled it like a kitten.

“Even though we traded the Night Amethyst to the God of Darkness in exchange for Mu Bai’s soul, his organs have deteriorated too much. He’ll be just as weak as an old man after coming back to life. He will need the Tyrant Titan’s organs to recover,” Xinxia told him.

“I see,” Mo Fan nodded.

“Normally, I could have asked the people around me to collect them, but it’s strange how I couldn’t get a single piece of Tyrant Titans’ organs, even though the Hall of Knights have eliminated a lot of them over the years. Even the organs of the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan that trespassed into Athens’ Barrier recently were gone!

“When I asked Fiona to investigate it, she told me the Tyrant Titan’s organs have always been in high demand in Europe. Every single one of them was purchased as soon as they were listed on the market. Even the rich merchants who do not practice magic believe the Tyrant Titan’s organs will strengthen their bodies, let alone the Mages!” Xinxia said.

“So even a Saintess like you can’t get your hands on the Tyrant Titans’ organs?” Mo Fan was surprised.

Xinxia nodded. It did not make any sense, but she was indeed struggling to secure them!

The Parthenon Temple normally had a lot of stock for every resource, except for the Tyrant Titans’ organs…

“Mu Bai is a Super Mage, and his soul has grown a lot stronger; it might have entered the Dark Plane while he was unconscious. If his organs are too weak, he will suffer from the same situation as mine, where the body can’t withstand the power of the soul…” Xinxia said.

Xinxia had her soul and the Soul of the Parthenon Temple within her. Her body could not endure the existence of the two souls, so she was unable to walk like a normal person.

Mu Bai was in a similar situation now. His body was too weak for his soul!

“It’s not easy to track down the Tyrant Titans, but if you follow Commander Poseidon, you can rely on the army’s intel to hunt the Tyrant Titans. The fresher the organs, the better they are for Mu Bai’s recovery,” Xinxia said.

“I got it!” Mo Fan nodded.

“Do you want to see him?” Xinxia asked.

“Who?” Mo Fan asked.

“Mu Bai, he’s awake. Didn’t I already tell you? It’s just that his body is very weak…” Xinxia said.

“Oh, so you already brought him back to life?” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“Yes!”

——

Mo Fan quickly headed off to where Mu Bai was staying. It was not far from his place.

He immediately heard Zhao Manyan’s grumbling after he went inside.

“Say, Mu Bai, how are you supposed to dominate women with Mo Fan and I if a single breeze can blow you away. I would rather die if I were in your shoes!” Zhao Manyan complained.

Zhao Manyan was initially planning to hook up with Saveth, but immediately lost interest when he found out she was a fan of Tuis. He decided to visit Mu Bai’s corpse out of boredom and burn an incense stick for him or something. To his surprise, Mu Bai was awake. He was sitting on a wooden stool while a young girl was placing a plate of fruits on the table!

Zhao Manyan was extremely jealous when he saw this!
