Tang Yue shook her head helplessly and said, "No..."
"What a pity..."
Tang Miao felt a pang of disappointment. He remembered that Tang Yue had the Summoning element. However, he hadn't expected her third element to fail to awaken. He then asked, "Then what's your third element?"
"Plant element."
Tang Miao thought to himself, "It seems Little Flame Belle is destined not to be yours..."
Waving his hand, Tang Miao said, "Never mind then. Since you don't have the Summoning element, I can't be bothered to exert effort to have Snow Maiden search for Flame Belle's whereabouts."
Actually, even if one couldn't contract with these elemental darlings born of heaven and earth, just gaining their favor would significantly enhance one's strength. But Tang Yue was neither a Psychic nor a Summoner... Tang Miao was truly a bit uneasy.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to give up on the matter of Flame Belle.
"Let's go to the Magic City first. If Uncle's information is accurate, Mo Fan might be in danger."
Tang Yue had never held much hope of acquiring Flame Belle. And now, the Earth Holy Spring and Mo Fan's situation were naturally more important.
Especially since Mo Fan was one of her former students, she certainly couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Tang Miao, however, waved his hand and said, "It's fine, no rush. That kid is blessed with good fortune; he won't die. Let's play here for a few days before returning to the Magic City."
Tang Yue, however, shook her head very seriously and said, "This matter concerns the Earth Holy Spring and cannot be taken lightly. If it truly falls into Salan's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The power of the Earth Holy Spring was indeed very strong, but now it had almost been refined by the Little Loach. Tang Miao didn't feel there was anything to be nervous about.
However, this was Tang Yue's mission, so Tang Miao could only agree.
Having just arrived in Hangzhou, he hadn't expected to be returning to the Magic City so soon; all the time would be spent on the journey... After arriving in the Magic City, Tang Yue couldn't show herself to follow Mo Fan, as her identity could easily be exposed. So, this task was handed over to Tang Miao?
Protect Mo Fan?
Tang Miao dismissed the thought without even considering it. He would selectively ignore it.
Protecting a girl was his duty, but protecting a man without payment was out of the question.
As for whether Mo Fan lived or died, or whether the Qilin survived, he didn't care. After all, he had never fantasized about conquering demons with the Qilin after its resurrection... It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he didn't dare to... Not to mention the countless demons on land, those in the deep sea were even more insurmountable.
In fact, some ocean emperors had existed since the totem era, and some powerful emperor-level beings might not even be matched by the Four Divine Beasts.
Moreover, if the Qilin truly possessed such formidable power, how could it have fallen?
Of course, Tang Miao did remind him that people from the Black Vatican would be coming for him soon. As for whether he could handle them, that was his own business.
After learning about this, Mo Fan chose to stay put in Pearl Institute.
It just so happened that Pearl Institute was ushering in the assessment period for new students to enter the main campus.
So, during this time, he cultivated within Pearl Institute, knowing that strength was the key to entering the main campus.
And during this period, the Black Vatican still made no moves.
This delighted Tang Miao. During the day, he accompanied Tang Yue on excursions, and at night, they nurtured their love. Such an opportunity was truly rare, like playing every day while still at work~
Especially after Tang Miao's careful cultivation during this period, Tang Yue had already shown signs of breaking through "D."
Of course, it might also be that she had reached her peak, but in any case, many new ways of playing had been added.
However, even though Tang Yue was with him every day, Tang Miao would still return to his golden canary nest every now and then.
After all, while eating what's in the bowl, one also has to keep an eye on what's in the pot.
If it flew away before it was cooked, that would be a terrible loss.
But it seemed that due to the main campus assessment, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had been particularly diligent during this time. Every time he went back, he saw the two girls cultivating... There was no beautiful scenery or allure, which led him to only stay for half an hour before leaving again.
Of course, during this time, he wasn't always on the way to pay his dues; his cultivation had never stopped. His Space element had also successfully reached level three. Now, all that remained was to wait for his Space element to reach perfection before breaking through to the advanced stage!
But due to Little Snow Maiden's expenses, and having done no work for a month... under various expenditures, besides saving money for Snow Maiden's milk powder, he only had enough left to buy one Star River Vein.
After asking Tang Yue to help him purchase the Star River Vein, Tang Miao was not in a hurry to use it.
What he urgently needed now was to first raise his Space element to perfection!
It could be said that self-awakening truly had both pros and cons. Especially his physique, which really gave him a headache. Others only needed one element to reach the next level before they could awaken a new magic, but he was different; all his magic elements had to reach the next level before he could continue to awaken.
But there was nothing he could do... He didn't dare to try using an awakening stone. Because if he only awakened one element, or if something went wrong in the middle, wouldn't that be a huge loss!
Learning magic was tedious and boring, and the process of cultivating magic was equally tedious and boring. When that novelty slowly faded with the years, the only thing that supported him in not wasting a single moment each day was a heart that yearned to become stronger.
It was fortunate that Tang Yue was by his side during this time. The two of them made progress together, enjoying food, drink, and fun during the day, and after some special activities at night, they would immerse themselves in cultivation... Tang Yue, like a lazy kitten, half-lay on Tang Miao's stomach and said weakly, "Tomorrow is the assessment for Pearl Institute's main campus, right? Is the Black Vatican really not planning to make a move? Once Mo Fan enters Pearl Institute's main campus, they'll have even less of a chance to act. Did our information go wrong?"
Pearl Institute was, after all, one of China's top academies, with no shortage of influential figures. If they wanted to make a move against Mo Fan, who was safely staying in the main campus of Pearl Institute, it would be even more difficult.
Therefore, Tang Yue had this slight doubt... Tang Miao had long forgotten about Mo Fan entering the main campus; he only knew that he hadn't died, and that was enough.
As for how that guy dealt with the Black Vatican, he didn't know... However, he could be sure that he wouldn't die, and that was all that mattered.
Stroking Tang Yue's hair, Tang Miao softly said, "Why worry so much? When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll cover it with earth. How long has it been since we lived together like this, ever since you joined the Judgment Union?"
