Mo Fan carried Tang Yue into the hotel with difficulty. That was not all—he directly summoned Ghost Shadow, using the properties of magical radiance to interfere with every hidden pinhole camera in the room.
He did not want to wake up and find himself plastered across the homepage of Donghuang Domestic District.
What followed was a series of bashful, catlike cries in heat, unfit to be spoken of to outsiders.
After battling through the night, Tang Yue finally learned Mo Fan's special talent. Young people really were full of energy. The effects of Tang Yue's medicine had faded at two in the morning, yet she did not finally rest peacefully until four.
"You little bastard." Two tear streaks still hung on Tang Yue's face, her messy hair stuck to her cheeks, and she gritted her teeth at Mo Fan as though fire might burst from her eyes.
Mo Fan lay behind Tang Yue, looking utterly innocent. "Teacher Tang Yue, this really isn't my fault. Don't you know how tempting you are to an innocent young boy?"
"Ugh..."
Tang Yue let out a deep sigh, as though she had resigned herself to her fate.
But what she said next instantly sobered Mo Fan up.
"Since it already happened, you cannot blame me for being heartless. Every Judge gets two accidental-kill allowances in their lifetime," Tang Yue said faintly.
"No way, Arthur, you're serious?!"
Mo Fan noticed Tang Yue seemed to be turning dark, so he immediately wrapped an arm around her waist from behind, thrusting his bright silver Dragon Gallbladder Spear into the White Gate Tower and forcing Tang Yue to surrender!
"Mo Fan, you—bastard!!!"
Tang Yue's cheeks flushed crimson as she ground out those words through clenched teeth.
"Sorry, Teacher Tang Yue, but I could only use this desperate measure to protect myself. If you insist on killing me!" Mo Fan said, shaking his head.
"Actually, Teacher, I can be a live-in son-in-law!!"
With that, he heavily slapped Tang Yue's pert buttocks.
Tang Yue's entire body ached. If they continued fighting, she might drop dead from exhaustion. Besides, Mo Fan did not look tired in the slightest. Was this guy some kind of beast?
Wasn't it said that only oxen died from exhaustion and fields were never overplowed? Why had it been reversed now??
"Stop!!"
Tang Yue turned into a shadow and drifted gracefully to the bedside, yanking over a bedsheet to wrap around herself as she glared furiously at Mo Fan.
She had only wanted to find a thug to help complete her mission. Who would have thought she would end up giving herself away too? If this got out, would she not be laughed to death? No, it could not get out.
Tang Yue's mind raced in an instant. Then she raised her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put your clothes on!"
"Oh, okay."
Mo Fan did not press his luck any further. He knew that if he kept pushing, he would truly have to face Teacher Tang Yue's wrath.
Mo Fan quickly put on his clothes. Tang Yue's clothes had already been torn apart by herself, but a fresh set of clothing appeared out of thin air in her hand.
A Space Magic Artifact!!
This was also a rather expensive magic artifact. The fact that Tang Yue possessed a Space Magic Artifact while only at the Intermediate Magic level showed that her family background was anything but ordinary.
The Songcheng Tang Family might not have been as renowned as the Dongfang Family, but the Tang Family was definitely one of Songcheng's oldest families.
Not to mention anything else, over half of the Spirit Hidden Tribunal consisted of Tang Family members.
Before long, Tang Yue had changed clothes. When she emerged from the bathroom, the blush had not yet faded from her face, while her eyes were filled with severity.
But when she came out, she discovered that Mo Fan had already vanished. A note lay beside the bed.
"Teacher Tang Yue, since you are not feeling well, I'll be leaving first. I also took Mei Yan as payment. Be sure to take good care of yourself. Don't miss me!!!"
At the bottom of the note, Mo Fan had even drawn a cute pig head!
"Miss your grandfather's leg!!!"
After Tang Yue read the note, she tore it to pieces. She only wished the paper in her hands had been Mo Fan.
And Mei Yan—this bastard had actually taken Mei Yan too.
She was so furious! She had lost both her body and her Spirit Seed!
Damn Mo Fan, do not let me catch you, or else—hmph, hmph, hmph!!!
Outside the hotel, Mo Fan, who had escaped using Shadow Escape, hailed a taxi and headed straight for the station. He was returning to Modu. This time, he had offended Teacher Tang Yue quite badly.
Would Teacher Tang Yue come to Modu to hunt him down?
Speak of the devil. The moment Mo Fan returned to Modu, he received a text message from Teacher Tang Yue.
"You had better forget what happened last night. Otherwise, I will let you know what a Judge's accidental-kill authority is!!"
Mo Fan ignored Tang Yue's threat, thinking she really was a woman who said one thing and meant another. She had not acted like this last night.
After returning to the Settlement Housing, Mo Fan flopped onto his bed. When he had time, he would sell Mei Yan. It would be best if he could auction it for thirty million.
After that, he opened the Celestial Spirit Codex—General section.
Now that his strength had reached the Intermediate Magic level, the Red-clothed Wraith had become somewhat useless to him, because both Intermediate Magic and Spirit Seeds could harm its spirit body.
To upgrade Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction, he needed to ignite the Superior Soul Shadow of the Red-clothed Wraith and extinguish the Red-clothed Wraith Soul Shadow.
The Red-clothed Wraith had quite a few Superior Soul Shadows, mainly concentrated in the Vicious Ghost Class, but Mo Fan set his sights on the Great Ominous Ghost, which only had two Dark Stars.
The Vicious Ghost Class's Soul Shadows had a maximum potential of four Dark Stars, so why had Mo Fan chosen the Great Ominous Ghost?
Because the Great Ominous Ghost had sustainable growth. Its Superior Soul Shadows went all the way up to Emperor Level. Strange, truly strange.
The highest Soul Shadow in the Vicious Ghost Class was only Monarch, yet this Great Ominous Ghost possessed Superior Soul Shadows even at Emperor Level.
The Great Ominous Ghost Soul Shadow had two Dark Stars. Apart from Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction, its other ability was Teleport.
At the General Level, this was one of the most cost-effective abilities.
Mo Fan did not hesitate. He guided two General Spirit Essences into the Great Ominous Ghost Soul Shadow. The Great Ominous Ghost Soul Shadow activated, the Red-clothed Wraith automatically extinguished, and the Servant Spirit Essences returned to Little Loach's space.
The Great Ominous Ghost Soul Shadow activated!!!
A taller red Soul Shadow replaced the original Red-clothed Wraith. Well, well, Great Ominous Ghost—so this was what was so great and ominous about you!!
Celestial Spirit Codex, oh Celestial Spirit Codex, I could no longer look at you directly. Who knew you also played with homophones?
Bloodthirsty Soul Extraction had been strengthened. The spirit-body effects of the Blood Red Robe became more complete, allowing it to become immune to elemental attacks from Intermediate Magic and Spirit Seeds.
Teleport was very simple: he could move freely anywhere within a hundred-meter radius!
It was too powerful. Mo Fan finally experienced the joy of spending money. He now desperately wanted to meet Old Zhao, help Old Zhao eliminate his older brother, let him take over Zhao's Chamber of Commerce, and then have him gather Monarch Spirit Essences for him.
Although this year would likewise be free for him, he would absolutely not bury himself in bitter cultivation like in his previous life. He would first take any opportunities he could think of, then make a trip to the Ancient Capital.
Battles took place in the Ancient Capital every night. Spirit Essences might be collected by hunters, but no one cared about Lingering Soul Remnants; they would only disperse on their own.
Mo Fan only needed to stroll along the base of the city wall at night to harvest a huge wave of Lingering Soul Remnants!
He might not reach the Advanced level within this year, but he would definitely become stronger than in his previous life. Only then could he better deal with the crises ahead.
After "bullying" Teacher Tang Yue like that last night, he wondered whether she would still assign the Azure Sky Hunter Agency a mission to protect him.
She probably would. After all, one day as husband and wife meant a hundred days of affection. But he could not say that to Teacher Tang Yue, or Teacher Tang Yue would come kill him before Black Flood Pavilion even arrived!
