Chapter 73. Even what you don't get smells good.
In the dark forest, on a cleared area, there was a man, a woman, and a wolf.
Among them, a fire was burning fiercely.
"I wonder how Commander Zhan Kong is doing now..." Mu Ningxue said.
If Zhan Kong hadn't arrived in time, they would have been in grave danger.
"Nothing will happen, don't worry. Even if Chief Instructor Zhan Kong is no match for Lu Nian, he won't be killed," Mo Fan said.
To put it bluntly, their abilities are roughly equal.
Once Lu Nian discovers that he has escaped, he will certainly not continue to entangle with Zhan Kong. After all, Lu Nian's target is him.
Moreover, excessive consumption of magical energy in this desolate wilderness is not a good thing for Lu Nian.
"Don't go too far..." Mu Ningxue felt a little displeased as Mo Fan naturally pulled her into his arms again.
That bastard, he's never satisfied with taking advantage of others!
"I was just worried you'd be cold. If you don't like it, you can go over there. This wolf cub doesn't like anyone other than me leaning against it," Mo Fan said, letting go of his hand.
"you..."
This time, what Mo Fan said was indeed true. This wolf cub really doesn't like others leaning on him.
In its eyes, all humans look the same except for Mo Fan.
Mu Ningxue had exhausted a great deal of magical energy and forcibly cast an arrow domain. Although she had not fainted, her condition was clearly not good.
If it weren't for Mo Fan's pure yang body providing warmth, she would likely have been frozen solid.
Therefore, Mo Fan was doing it for her own good.
"We've been hugging and cuddling all day, what's there to fuss about? Don't you know your physical condition?" Mo Fan continued.
"You did this on purpose!" Mu Ningxue said, recalling what happened during the day.
"It started unintentionally, but the relationship was so intimate that I got a little carried away for a moment," Mo Fan explained.
Mu Ningxue became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it!
However, on the other hand, it has already happened, so what's the point of talking about it now?
Being in the middle of nowhere, and without any magical power, it was indeed dangerous not to be near Mo Fan.
Mu Ningxue suddenly realized that she had little control over Mo Fan in the current situation.
Mo Fan used to be truly sincere towards me.
Mo Fan nowadays is nothing but frivolous and shallow.
In just a few years since his magical awakening, how could a person change so much?
What she couldn't understand about herself the most was that she didn't actually dislike...
But Mu Ningxue quickly shook her head; cultivation was what she needed to do most. Romantic relationships would only hinder her from becoming stronger.
Although Mu Ningxue did nothing, Mo Fan still noticed her change.
However, Mo Fan didn't care about this at all.
These are all minor matters.
It's strange, really, that he has a mistress and has already had many experiences with her.
But he was extremely satisfied simply because he touched Mu Ningxue.
Damn, that's a bit pathetic.
However, this also seems to illustrate that what we don't have is indeed the most desirable.
Unfortunately, the fabric is terrible, which makes it quite unpleasant.
He still prefers the kind without any gaps.
Nothing happened that night. When Mo Fan woke up early the next morning, he stretched and yawned, looking just like a lazy big cat with sleepy eyes.
Mu Ningxue in his arms had already opened her eyes, her clear eyes filled with a hint of weariness.
The Silver Moon Wolf also perked up, wagging its fluffy tail. After a quick tidy-up, they continued their journey at a rapid pace.
Throughout the journey, the Silver Moon Wolf remained vigilant, as this was the territory of other demon races.
Sitting on the Silver Moon Wolf, Mu Ningxue was obediently held in Mo Fan's arms. She occasionally stroked her forehead with her hand, as the excessive consumption of magical energy and the slight backlash still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Because they didn't return the way they came, they didn't encounter Zhao Manyan and the others.
Zhao Manyan, that guy, is usually all smiles and doesn't know what's good for him. But with his shell around, he'll definitely be fine.
There's nothing for Mo Fan to worry about.
Ten days later, after overcoming obstacles such as mountains and rivers and harsh weather, the two finally returned to the Imperial Capital Academy after a lot of trouble.
After they returned safely, they learned that the others, as well as Chief Instructor Zhan Kong, had also returned.
Although he was injured, it wasn't serious.
There's also bad news: Lu Nian is alright. On the contrary, he might recover in the future.
Among the others, whether they were top freshmen from Mingzhu Academy or Imperial Capital Academy, there was still a hint of fear on their faces, an expression of being terrified by the danger.
However, apart from Lu Zhenghe and Liao Mingxuan, the others were only frightened but did not suffer any major injuries.
Lu Zhenghe deserves to die, and Liao Mingxuan can only be described as brainless.
On the other hand, things that have nothing to do with me don't need to be taken seriously.
"Thank you very much this time, Chief Instructor," Mo Fan said sincerely to Zhan Kong.
"That's what I should do. But you're really surprising, kid."
Zhan Kong said, "Jiang Yi and the others actually failed to capture you."
"Chief Instructor, it seems you're a little unhappy that I wasn't dealt with???" Mo Fan was somewhat speechless.
"Ha ha."
Zhan Kong chuckled awkwardly, then said, "How could that be? Seeing you come back alive put my mind at ease. But you've been hiding your true colors well."
"Don't worry, Lu Nian and the others are already wanted by the Inquisition, they will no longer pose any threat to you."
Hearing Zhan Kong's words, Mo Fan didn't quite believe them.
If the trial were something that involved him, and he could be trusted, then how many Vatican members in the country would have died at his hands?
Zhan Kong didn't notice the change in Mo Fan's expression. Instead, he continued, "So, kid, how about joining our Wei Fang?"
"No." Mo Fan shook his head firmly.
"."
Holy crap!
Zhan Kong was utterly exasperated. Not only had he traveled a thousand miles to save him, but he had also invited him at least three times, yet this kid remained completely unmoved.
Well, this kid really has some personality.
"Boss Zhan Kong, my temperament isn't really suited to Wei Fang. Letting me roam free is actually quite good for me," Mo Fan explained.
Regardless, even if Zhan Kong hadn't succeeded this time, he might not have died. But the demon would likely need to appear precisely on time.
However, that would greatly reduce the cultivation levels of the six magic systems, which is not what Mo Fan wants.
Furthermore, he lacked Master Wei's spirit of dedication; in this respect, he was far inferior to Zhang Xiaohou.
"If your ambitions lie elsewhere, then I won't force you." Seeing that Mo Fan was looking at him very seriously, Zhan Kong did not continue to invite him.
After all, everyone has their own ideas.
"I should head back too, but you still need to keep a lower profile in the future. You have dual elemental abilities, so you might attract the attention of some unscrupulous people," Zhan Kong added.
"Actually, I've always been very low-key!"

Zhan Kong gave Mo Fan a look, seemingly telling him that he would interpret it himself.
