Chapter 271: Returning Home
With most of the matters and obstacles in Parthenon taken care of, Mo Fan decided to leave directly after recuperating for a few days at Parthenon.
After all, his status as the Honorary Hall Master of the Adjudication Hall was merely a title; deep down, Mo Fan did not belong to Parthenon, and it was not his true home, so there was no need for him to stay there any longer.
Speaking of which, the return journey from Parthenon truly left Mo Fan with lingering fear.
Honestly, if he were given another chance, he truly wouldn't want to experience that teleportation array again.
For Mo Fan, every use of the teleportation array was simply torture.
Although the teleportation time seemed brief on the surface, in that fleeting, almost negligible moment, Mo Fan felt as if his head was about to explode from being shaken, and the sensation was incredibly uncomfortable.
Constantly jolted in the chaotic flow of space, he felt as if his entire being had been thrown into a giant blender, his body constantly at risk of being torn to shreds. The intense feeling of weightlessness and tearing made even a Mage with physical qualities far exceeding ordinary people feel overwhelmed.
It's no wonder such large-scale teleportation arrays are not set up in every City. Given the power of this spatial turbulence, if Mo Fan felt so uncomfortable, an ordinary person would likely be torn apart immediately upon entering, making safe arrival at the destination impossible.
Finally back in Shanghai, Mo Fan flew directly to his residence. As soon as he entered, he deflated like a punctured balloon and collapsed onto the sofa.
Although this trip to the Divine Mountain, with the replenishment from the ninghua evil pearl, spared him some of the side effects after using magic, the entire process was too thrilling and exhausting. It was like a long, endless dream, and now, waking from this "dream," he felt utterly exhausted, his body and mind feeling hollowed out, desperately needing a good rest to recover his vitality.
The house Mo Fan lived in was still the large apartment from Pearl Academy.
This was a small reward he received when he participated in the World Academy competition. The Pearl Academy generously gave this large apartment to Mo Fan, which could be considered an acknowledgment of his outstanding performance.
However, he didn't mention this matter to others, keeping a small secret to himself.
Because, Mo Fan thought, raising two "canaries" was something he was very willing to do.
It was just a pity that when he returned to the apartment, Mu Ningxue and Ai Tutu had gone off somewhere, and the house was empty; they weren't home.
This made Mo Fan feel a bit disappointed. He had planned to gather with them and relax after returning, but now his plan had fallen through.
Finally, Mo Fan stayed in the apartment for a while, felt it was uninteresting, then left the apartment and went directly to where Liu Ru lived.
In Mo Fan's heart, Liu Ru was undoubtedly the most obedient among his women.
It could be said that whatever Mo Fan commanded, she would obediently do, and she would try her best to do it perfectly. Even if sometimes doing certain things made her blush, she never knew how to refuse. That gentleness and obedience made Mo Fan especially cherish her.
In this world, anyone could betray Mo Fan, but only Liu Ru would not.
Because she drank his blood.
Vampires have such a bond; as long as Mo Fan does not die, she is Mo Fan's possession for life.
While conversing with Liu Ru, Mo Fan learned that Mu Ningxue's land acquisition in Flying Bird City did not seem to be going smoothly.
Mo Fan naturally knew that some insignificant people were causing trouble.
So, he directly contacted Shao Zheng!
Since he had secured the title of first in the World Academy for the country, he naturally expected some reciprocation.
Shao Zheng did not disappoint Mo Fan and indeed provided him with a report. Not only was the territory greatly expanded, but it was also directly solidified.
It can be said that neither the local Magic Association nor any other entity has the right to question it again.
After finishing his conversation with Liu Ru, Mo Fan took her to the Qingtian Hunter Agency.
"Lingling, did you miss me?!" Mo Fan saw Lingling walk out from behind the bar, with some milk tea residue on her small pouting lips, suggesting she had just woken up from a nap and drank a small bottle of milk.
Lingling was somewhat surprised that Mo Fan had returned so quickly. Although her grandfather said he was incredibly lucky and hadn't died, seeing Mo Fan still astonished her.
Mo Fan was also not polite, picking up Lingling and giving her a big kiss on her soft, rosy apple cheeks.
"I'm going to get married!" Lingling angrily pushed away Mo Fan, the perverted loli-con, with a hint of annoyance on her face.
"You're marrying who? Who would dare marry someone I raised?" Mo Fan said shamelessly.
"Pfft!"
Lingling was filled with indignation and glared at him irritably.
She was already quite displeased, alright!
Mo Fan had gone to Parthenon Temple without a word, taking the Totem Xuan Snake and not even taking her along?
He said he wouldn't cause trouble!
And what happened, what happened!!!
Most importantly, he even chose the most brainless way to attack Parthenon, which was unacceptable to Lingling.
Mo Fan knew why Lingling was upset, but there was nothing he could do; he had his own considerations.
Then, Mo Fan, ignoring Lingling's displeasure, pulled her onto his lap and said, "I didn't take you to Parthenon, and I feel somewhat inconsiderate. However, I plan to go to the Taklamakan Desert. Are you interested in looking up some information about it?"
Hearing what Mo Fan said, Lingling, who was still upset, paused.
"What are you going there for?" Lingling asked curiously.
"According to some information I've received, in the Tarim Basin of the Taklamakan Desert, there's a terrifying high temperature that occurs every year from late October and lasts until the New Year. Some powerful Hunters have even reported seeing a vast area of flaming mountains, an extremely exaggerated and spectacular scene. And the flames there would be of great help in improving Little Flame Belle," Mo Fan said.
Little Flame Belle doesn't just rely on flames for revival; she can also become stronger by relying on flames.
The Tarim Basin is located in Xinjiang, between the Tianshan, Kunlun, and Altun Mountains. It is a vast and boundless basin, and its central area is the famous Taklamakan Desert!
Along the coast of Great Xia, due to the flat terrain, Cities are relatively densely distributed. However, in the northwest of Great Xia, vast territories are extremely large uninhabited areas, where countless species of demon beasts reside!
True Hunters travel in the western part of Great Xia, where it is truly full of death and opportunity.
As for the Taklamakan Desert, although not as terrifying as the Sahara Desert, it is still spoken of with dread within the Hunter Union in the country. Anyone who has been to the Taklamakan Desert and returned alive earns a special commendation among Hunters that can be displayed for a lifetime. Even Wei Fang's numerous missions require hiring such Hunters as guides to prevent total annihilation in the Desert.
"Really? Then I can check it out." The little loli jumped off Mo Fan's lap, no longer bothering to be angry, and eagerly went to research what Mo Fan had said.
