Full-Time Mage: Double Return, Niu Ma Mo Fan

Chapter 121 Rain Returns!

Not long ago, they visited Yangyang Village, which was in ruins.

Unexpectedly, the original village chief, Fang Gu, actually appeared here. Seeing that Fang Gu was a living dead who could appear even during the day, the short man fell silent.

Fang Gu's location was clearly a trap to ambush them!
"Why are you doing this? We haven't offended you, have we?" the short man suddenly asked.

Seeking truth in dreams, one must loosen the grip on Fanggu.

After falling to the ground, he greedily inhaled the oxygen!
Looking at the young man in front of him, his eyes were filled with lingering fear!
This was simply an enemy he couldn't handle. Even summoning his strongest undead would yield the same result. So Fang Gu stopped hiding and spoke up:

"You have not offended me, and I never intended to ambush you."

"I only want to kill the people of Huacun!"

At this point, Fang Gu burst into laughter in anger, his loud laughter causing the short man and Mo Fan to exchange bewildered glances.

Noticing the coldness in Meng Qiuzhen's eyes, Fang Gu's laughter stopped abruptly. He then recounted how the water in Yangyang Village's Kun Well was about to dry up, and how they had sought help from Xie Sang in Hua Village, only to be driven away by many villagers.

He angrily rebuked Xie Sang for refusing to even take in one of his children!
Without the protection of the Kun Well water, Yangyang Village was doomed.

To avoid being devoured by the undead, Fang Gu, the necromancer, personally killed his own family members one by one, using the remaining water from the Kun Well to create living dead who could move even during the day.

Hearing this, Mo Fan and the short man exchanged a glance.

They finally understood why Xie Sang had avoided the road through Yangyang Village—he knew all along that something had happened there!
"What's going on? Is there any water left in the Kun Well?"

Meng Qiuzhen said impatiently, "He's here to rob, not to listen to stories."

"No, I used the last bit to refine warrior-level living dead."

"We're too late, let's go."

"Should we let him go?"

"It's not a matter of letting him go. He didn't offend me, so I can't find a reason to kill him. As for those petty things, I can't be bothered with them. I'm not the embodiment of justice, and besides, can you even define what justice is? Just packing up and walking away is the best way."

After hearing Meng Qiuzhen's words, everyone fell silent.

Just as he was about to teleport back with his men, Mo Fan suddenly spoke up: "That idiot behind Su Xiaoluo is my good brother. You decide what to do."

The four of them then vanished from Fang Gu's sight in a flash.

As quickly as they come, they go as quickly as they come.

Fang Gu went from being stunned to despair, and now he's back to being stunned!

The other party didn't kill him?!

Fang Gu was stunned for a while, then kowtowed three times in the direction where Meng Qiuzhen and the other three had disappeared.

He didn't pay much attention to Mo Fan's words, because he never intended to harm the innocent. He just wanted to take revenge on Xie Sang, which was a personal grudge between them.

The core reason why Meng Qiuzhen didn't deal with him was because this guy was still useful.

In the original story, the only way out of the perilous journey of Sha Yuan was when he encountered Fang Gu. Meng Qiuzhen felt that leaving a signpost was still very necessary.

As for the grudges and feuds between the two villages, Meng Qiuzhen was too lazy to get involved; let them do whatever they wanted.
……

It's getting late.

The majestic city wall, shrouded in the afternoon clouds, gradually came into view before Meng Qiuzhen and his group on the horizon.

Because it was daytime, there were still some military mages patrolling outside the outer city walls. Upon seeing living people, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace to hide in the city.

"Are you from Huacun Village in Weiju Village?" The guard mage looked at them with suspicion.

"Yes, yes, I am the village chief, Xie Sang."

"Lately, everyone in town has been talking about you people from Weiju Village." "Talking about us? Why?"

The guard pursed his lips and casually handed the village chief a copy of today's morning newspaper.

Xie Sang picked it up and immediately noticed a striking headline!
"All six dilapidated villages in the Xianchi area have been ravaged by the spirits of the dead, with very few survivors!"

Xie Sang was dumbfounded. He originally thought that only their Huacun village had been attacked by the undead, but he did not expect that other villages had already been destroyed.

However, this news made his expression even stranger, as if there was something he simply couldn't understand.

"Could it be Fang Gu?" Mo Fan whispered to Meng Qiuzhen.

Ding Yumin and the short man also came over.

All four of them met Fang Gu and learned some of the inside stories, but none of them told the others.

“It wasn’t him,” Meng Qiuzhen denied Mo Fan’s suspicion.

Just as Xie Sang couldn't understand, Fang Gu indeed did not attack other dangerous villages.

Their demise was actually orchestrated by the Black Vatican in order to collect the water from the Kun Well.

The goal is to recreate the catastrophe of the rainstorm that struck Bo City in the ancient capital!
However, all of this is still far from Meng Qiuzhen's goal. Gu Du is destined to go through this ordeal, and he must play an important role in this event to achieve his objective.
After returning to the ancient capital, the group split into three.

Zhang Xiaohou and a group of people from Huacun traveled together.

Mo Fan went to see his old classmate from Bocheng.

Ding Yumin and Meng Qiuzhen were inseparable.

Mo Fan originally wanted to invite Meng Qiuzhen to meet his old classmates and let them know what the true essence of Mingzhu Academy is.

But Meng Qiuzhen refused him, as she had already promised Ding Yumin that she would accompany her, and she was no longer available.

Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet during the upcoming cleanup campaign in the northern part of the city.

What Meng Qiuzhen didn't know was that the moment he appeared, the news had already been reported, and it was estimated that Wu Pingjing would soon be able to find this master who had been living away from home.

……

Northwest corner of the city wall.

This is where the western and northern city walls meet. The top of the city walls is very wide, like a main road, and several cars can drive side by side without any problem.

The corner tower was built at the intersection of the outer city road.

Upon entering the corner tower, one finds a number of people moving about inside. Association mages, hunter mages, military mages, traveling mages, and students have formed what resembles a small inn, with stalls selling medicines, magical tools, and newly acquired spoils of war.

A crowd had gathered in front of one of the stalls. Ding Yumin stood beside Meng Qiuzhen, her face expressionless, and announced, "Five million!!"

"Heh heh, I'll bid seven million!!" A young man dressed in luxurious clothes, who looked like a rich young master, chuckled and then made his bid.

A difference of two million is already overwhelming for a small stall.

The bald stall owner was so surprised that he couldn't help but stand up, before he could say anything.

"Ten million!!"

Ding Yumin's voice rang out again, but she remained expressionless and calm in the face of the many astonished gazes.

After shopping with Meng Qiuzhen for over an hour without finding anything, even though the other party had said he would pay for anything she liked, the problem was that she didn't like anything.
Until she stumbled upon the purple mineral crystal at the bald shop owner's stall, Ding Yumin took a liking to it at first sight and even had a plan in mind for what to do with it.

Just as they were about to pay after agreeing on the price, four or five young rich kids suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started bidding. However, most of them were secretly eyeing Ding Yumin, and it was unclear whether they were after the purple ore crystal or Ding Yumin herself.
