The others had told him that Mu Ningxue had rushed here by freezing a path across the sea right away. Mo Fan had no choice but to marry her to repay her kindness.
Mu Ningxue remained silent, returning to her usual cold self.
It was normal for her to worry about Mo Fan, since the relationship between her and Mo Fan had been subtle for a long time. Mu Ningxue did not want Mo Fan to die, but that did not necessarily mean she had feelings for him. She had no time to waste on things like that…
“I’ve given you my promise that I’ll visit your Mu Family with a great betrothal gift. How can I possibly die here? How about after the World College Tournament? Our age is just about right, too,” added Mo Fan.
Mo Fan was like a psycho that could perform a whole drama all by himself. Even if the others remained silent, he could still proceed with the plot as he desired. No one that could stand his shamelessness. Besides, Mo Fan was also familiar with Mu Ningxue’s personality. He strongly believed that just a little shamelessness was nowhere enough to pry open her heart. Only a completely shameless person like him had a chance.
As he thought, Mu Ningxue’s face turned even colder when she heard Mo Fan mention a betrothal gift. She had never met someone who could talk so much nonsense when he was injured! The Scarlet Rending Demon was a Commander-level creature, yet it was so useless that it couldn’t even kill a mere Mo Fan; she couldn’t even enjoy a moment of silence!
Mo Fan had been repeating the same thing for days, thus most people in the team believed that they were friends since childhood who were engaged to one another. Otherwise, Nanyu would not have even told Mo Fan about Mu Ningxue’s reaction. On top of that, Mu Ningxue immediately came to his rescue by building a fifty kilometers long ice bridge as soon as she received the news!

Mo Fan was dropped on a bed to rest as the team returned to Feiniao City.
Not long after, Zhao Manyan paid him a visit. His expression said that he had predicted it all. “I knew you wouldn’t die so easily… I know what you want to ask me, Nan Rongni’s healing ability is awesome; the kid Xiao Di would have died if it was any other Intermediate Healer, but Nan Rongni managed to save his life. She even gave him a blessing that will let him grow up healthier than ever.”
Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh. At least they managed to save the kid’s life by putting their own at risk.
“You want to know who’s responsible for the cases? It’s more complicated than we initially thought, the truth might even shock the whole nation…” said Zhao Manyan.
“Did we find the truth?” asked Mo Fan.
“Nope, the trace ends here in Feiniao City. We only found the one responsible here in Feiniao City; the Enforcement Union will deal with him… but according to Jiang Yu, it implicates even more people that are out of his reach, so he can only pass it on to the five advisors,” said Zhao Manyan.

“Are you telling me that incidents like this aren’t just happening here in Feiniao City?” Mo Fan asked in surprise.
The missing cases only happened because of the Scarlet Rending Demon and the Scarlet Soaring Demons’ weird obsession with human children. Why was the situation more complicated beyond that?
“The advisors have stopped us from investigating further. They told us that we’ve done them a great favor,” said Zhao Manyan.
For some reason, Mo Fan was not glad to hear that.
Hopefully the people assigned to investigate it were determined to seek out the truth like they had, at least to prevent cases like this from happening again.
“By the way, someone asked the advisors to pass you a thing, something that you kept mentioning at the Ancient Capital,” said Zhao Manyan.
“What is it?” asked Mo Fan.
“A ragged feather robe, but to be honest, that thing is too ragged and ancient… what do you even need it for? They even said it was to repay you for what you did at the Ancient Capital… hey, are you listening to me?” said Zhao Manyan.
“Oh, give it to me, I’ve waited a long time for it,” said Mo Fan.
Zhao Manyan had no clue what the ragged robe was for, yet Mo Fan was extremely excited. He never thought old man Han Ji would actually manage to get it for him. The robe was in the sublimest display in the museum. It was one of the rarest objects in the world, with an extraordinary background!
It was only ragged because of its age.
It was called the Celestial Phoenix Feather Robe. Mo Fan was fond of it when he saw its original appearance using computer simulation. He was determined to restore it!
It would be the perfect gift for Xinxia!
Mo Fan had a regret when he was surrounded by the endless skeletons in the Space of Death. Since he had survived it, it was time for him to fulfill it!
