The sea breeze was chilly at night. Certain parts of the streets were frozen due to the humid weather of the Magic City.

It was rare to see the Magic City covered in frost. It was a dazzling sight under the colorful lights.

The Mui Clan was bustling with noises. The car park was already full, and it even had four people directing the traffic. The Mui Clan had planned a grand wedding, and had invited almost every big shot in the Magic City. It also invited its business partners from other cities.

The Mui Clan had been doing well over the years, gradually securing its place in the Magic City. Even its sworn enemy, the Mu Clan, had sent some representatives to attend the wedding.

Mui Nuxin was a businesswoman, the one controlling the Mui Clan’s finances. She had been the first to adapt to the modern world. She had greatly expanded the Mui Clan’s businesses in a short period of time.

Mo Fan was not too familiar with the details. He had only heard bits and pieces about Mui Nuxin from Mu Ningxue at times.

“Is the Parthenon Temple doing business with Mui Nuxin, too?” Mo Fan asked curiously. It was strange that Xinxia was invited to the wedding.

Not everyone could write the name of a Parthenon Temple’s Saintess in the list of guests for a wedding!

“Brother Mo Fan, you have known Mui Nujiao for so long. Don’t you know what her job is?” Xinxia smiled.

Mo Fan knew the younger sister, Mui Nuxin, was a businesswoman.

As for the elder sister, Mui Nujiao… Right, she had focused on education.

“Does that mean the Parthenon Temple Institute…” Mo Fan suddenly realized the answer.

“Yes, she’s a very determined woman,” Xinxia confirmed.

Xinxia rarely came back to her homeland. She was keen to establish a branch of the Parthenon Temple Institute in her country, so she needed someone to handle that matter.

To Xinxia’s surprise, Mui Nujiao was close with the Alps Institute, too!

It was impossible for the Alps Institute to let go of its grudge toward the Parthenon Temple right away. Mui Nujiao happened to be the mediator between them!

Mui Nujiao was receiving guests at the entrance when Mo Fan arrived at the Mui Clan. She was wearing a light red qipao.

Mui Nujiao saw Xinxia first, and greeted her with a smile.

She was stunned when she saw the man behind Xinxia.

Many people had assumed Mo Fan was dead. Mui Nujiao was speechless when she saw Mo Fan well and alive in front of her.

“AHHHH, it’s the demon king! He faked his death!” Ai Tutu’s voice immediately arose behind her. Mui Nujiao quickly covered her mouth.

“The Lord of Darkness didn’t want to keep me, so I had no choice but to come back. I wonder if I’m welcome here?” Mo Fan smiled in greeting.

It seemed like they had moved out because they thought he was dead. Mo Fan felt a lot better!

Hang on, that did not sound right…

“Come on in, it’s cold outside!” Mui Nujiao led the way.

Ai Tutu ran around Mo Fan in circles while touching him and pinching his face. She soon looked at Xinxia, as if she had realized something.

“The Spell of Resurrection. I understand now!” Ai Tutu exclaimed.

“The Spell of Resurrection doesn’t work on those who are targeted by the Lord of Darkness,” Xinxia denied immediately.

“Huh? How did he come back, then? I watched a lot of clips on the Internet. The Black Tide dragged almost the whole city into Hell. I was getting goosebumps just from watching the clips!” Ai Tutu could not stop talking.

“It’s a long story. I heard Old Zhao, Mu Bai, and everyone else are here, too. I’ll tell you my great achievements in the Dark Plane once everyone is here. You cannot imagine how scary the other side is!” Mo Fan proclaimed proudly.

The fact that he had made it out of the Dark Plane alive meant he was perfectly fine after meeting the King of Hell!

“They are already here. I’ll bring you to them,” Mui Nujiao said.

The huge hall was decorated with fancy lights and decorations. Mo Fan walked past a few tables and saw some familiar faces.

“Humph, when Zhang Xiaohou and I were trapped in the Forbidden Curse, we thought we were going to sacrifice our lives for the country. I also slew the Dragon King Krill by myself. They have not been a threat to our coasts since then!

“You all should really thank me. If it weren’t for me, you won’t be able to enjoy your dinner in peace tonight, since the dam would have fallen!”

Zhao Manyan was standing behind a chair, leaning forward while boasting about his past deeds.

“Impressive,” Mu Bai agreed indifferently.

“Huh, you think you are so good just because you played chess with the Lord of Darkness? I’ve spent a productive year, too. Have you ever been to the southernmost waters of the Pacific Ocean? I did. I was with Baxia!” Zhao Manyan declared proudly.

Mo Fan’s expression froze.

Damn it, that son of a b**ch Mu Bai! How could he already have told them about the game of chess?

What else could Mo Fan tell them? He had already prepared his speech on the way here!

He could not possibly tell them he had slept in the same bed with an Archangel and a Saintess after they were drunk. He could not even remember if something happened that night between them.

 Ai Tutu ran to the table and yelled, “Guess who’s alive?”

Mo Fan was planning to surprise them, but Ai Tutu promptly ruined it. Everyone looked at him.

Mo Fan was dressed in simple clothes, but somehow he was giving off an unusual temperament under the spotlight with his unique dark aura.

“Holy crap!” Zhao Manyan was the first to react. He immediately went toward Mo Fan.

Mo Fan thought the guy was going to give him a hug. To his surprise, he went up to Xinxia and exclaimed, “Our goddess from the Parthenon Temple, Ye Xinxia is here!”

“Old Zhao, since when did you become blind?” Mo Fan asked.

Zhao Manyan patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and burst out laughing, “HAHAHA, it looks like you and Mu Bai stink wherever you go. Even the Lord of Darkness is unwilling to keep you!”

A young woman came out of nowhere and kicked Mo Fan in the shin before he could join the laughter.

Mo Fan turned around and saw Lingling standing there with puffed cheeks. “Oh my, you have grown so tall!”

Mo Fan was surprised when he saw Lingling had already reached his nose!

He seriously wondered if he had been gone for several years instead of just one year. The little girl he knew had already grown into a beautiful young woman!
