“Jiang Shaoxu, where are you?” Mu Bai called Jiang Shaoxu’s number.

“Turn around,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

Mu Bai turned around and saw Jiang Shaoxu carrying a few shopping bags. She was walking toward Mu Bai with a self-assured seductive smile.

Jiang Shaoxu looked up and down at Mu Bai and teased, “You’re quicker than I thought. I only visited two stores so far. Why didn’t you spend more time with her?”

Mu Bai did not get what she meant at first. His face blushed after he thought about it for a while. He quickly explained, “It’s not what you think. Something terrifying actually happened just then. I’m actually a little worried about you. Should we just call it a day and head back to Fanxue Mountain?”

“Oh? I think the weather is pretty nice today. It’s good for shopping. I’ll just shop on my own if you are busy. By the way, what do you think about my clothes?” Jiang Shaoxu had already changed into a new outfit. She even turned around in a circle to show it to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai scratched his head. He was wondering how he was going to explain the situation to Jiang Shaoxu.

He just had a strange feeling about it, mainly because a Super Mage like Mu Xumian had almost died in his house. Mu Bai was worried that Jiang Shaoxu would fall victim to the strange magic, too.

“I guess that’s fine…” Mu Bai responded. He was thinking of how to express the uncomfortable feeling in his mind when Jiang Shaoxu patted him on the shoulder.

“Let’s go back, I can see you’re very worried.” Jiang Shaoxu was quite understanding. She decided to go back to Fanxue Mountain with Mu Bai first.

Mu Bai nodded. He hailed a cab and brought Jiang Shaoxu to Fanxue Mountain.

Mu Bai was still preoccupied with the incident when Jiang Shaoxu let out a sigh like she knew exactly what was going on in his mind. “Actually, you shouldn’t feel so down because of it. I heard that many men had the same problem too. You just need to relax and remain calm, and everything will be fine.”

Mu Bai was confused at first, but he immediately realized something when Jiang Shaoxu naughtily winked at him, as if she was telling him she was not going to look down at him because of it!

“No, that’s not it, the woman you saw in my house was Mu Xumian, she was a colleague of mine in the South Wing Platoon…” Mu Bai seriously had an urge to kill himself by knocking his head into the window.

How the heck did Jiang Shaoxu even arrive at that conclusion? It was worse than being busted for hooking up with strangers!

Mu Bai finally explained to Jiang Shaoxu that Mu Xumian was Fanxue Mountain’s enemy and how she was Possessed by some corrupted existence.

Jiang Shaoxu’s mouth hung open for some time.

Anyone who visited someone’s house and saw a woman in her sleepwear would naturally assume the woman was extremely close to the owner, but not only did Mu Bai claim the woman was his enemy, he even told her that she was Possessed by some unknown existence. Most importantly, he actually saved his enemy’s life… Jiang Shaoxu was more willing to believe that Mu Bai was suffering from premature ejaculation.

Mu Bai let out a sigh when Jiang Shaoxu still looked at him suspiciously, even after he assigned her a room. He was completely worn out.

He went back to his place and was about to take a shower to get rid of the stench of blood on him when he saw a man in a dark red coat standing in the garden. The man had white hair and a pale face. His collars were slightly covering his face, and made his chin look pointier.

“Are you looking for me?” Mu Bai glanced at the European man with a puzzled face.

“There was an unclean presence in your house. I came to check it out,” the man replied.

“Unclean presence?” Mu Bai repeated.

“I can’t tell exactly what it is. Anyway, just be careful.” Bola did not stay for long. He brushed past Mu Bai.

Mu Bai frowned while staring at Bola’s back.

Mu Bai knew who Bola was. The vampire was like a secret guardian of Fanxue Mountain. He could usually see through any evil magic that was cast on Mu Ningxue or Fanxue Mountain.

Bola rarely showed himself, spending most of the time in deep slumber inside a hidden chamber to extend his lifespan. The fact that he had shown up in person meant something was serious enough to get his attention.

“Bola, was it some kind of Undead Magic?” Mu Bai stopped Bola and asked in a stern voice.

Bola halted in his tracks. He turned and glanced at Mu Bai’s house, “It’s like a phantom. It tried to enter Fanxue Mountain, but it fled in fear when it noticed the presence of Liu Ru and myself. Your house is fine. There’s nothing to worry about, but I have a feeling that thing is after you.”

“Bola, I did encounter something not long ago,” Mu Bai began.

“Tell Liu Ru about it, I’ve been out for too long. This place is perfect in every way, except for the fact that it’s too exposed to the sun. I can still smell sunlight at night…” Bola sighed.

Mo Fan had sent Bola to escort Lingling and the others back from Wanggui Town. Bola had trouble staying out for too long, especially during the season when the days were longer. He was only doing a routine checkup on Fanxue Mountain. The rest was no longer his concern. He was already being kind by warning Mu Bai about the potential danger.

“Alright, thank you,” Mu Bai conceded.

Bola waved his hand and straightened his collar before leaving in a hurry, as if he did not want anyone to see his face.

Mu Bai quickly sought out Liu Ru. She also had a sharp sense of smell. She walked around Mu Bai in a circle, as if she was sensing that Mu Bai had encountered something unclean.

Mu Bai explained the incident that befell Mu Xumian to Liu Ru. She replied after giving it some thought, “I think the thing is most likely after you, but Mu Xumian happened to be staying at your place, so she became the target instead. If you were the one who was Possessed, I don’t think it would have ended well.”

Mu Bai nodded. If he was the victim, it meant no one could possibly have figured out it was Undead Magic, nor would anyone have cast the Sacred Chant on him in time. He would have died in front of the panicking young graduate. Even the old Healer would not have been able to save his life.

Mu Bai was extremely worried on his way back, because he was suspicious that Mu Xumian had fallen victim to the Curse because she was staying at his place. If it wasn’t Mu Xumian’s enemy, it meant the corrupted existence was supposed to come after him!

“Did you tell Mo Fan about it?” Liu Ru asked.

Mu Bai shook his head. He was unsure what was going on. He knew both Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were focusing on their cultivation, so he did not want to disturb them.

Besides, he could not think of anyone who would want him dead. When did he ever offend such a powerful Undead Mage?
