Full-time Creation Master

"Okay, be careful on your way." Xinxia's soft words carried her unique worry.

"Don't worry... Are you at your apartment? It's a bit noisy." Mo Fan heard the girl's panicked voice coming from the other end of the phone and asked casually.

"I'm in the student dormitory, and several students have contracted a strange illness. I'm treating them."

However, healing magic doesn't seem to be very effective against this strange illness.

Recently, quite a few people have contracted this strange disease, and the trainees have been divided into groups for isolation.

"I was worried that the pandemic might be like it was a few years ago, and it might recur. Fortunately, the teachers were tested and it wasn't benign!" Xinxia said.

Xinxia is a student in the Healing Department and occasionally helps the school with some medical work.

"Then be careful, strange diseases are mostly contagious," Mo Fan added.

In her heart, she was cursing Zhejiang University for not being considerate of Xiaoxia. She was so tired last night, and today she was frightened and forced to do hard labor...

"Okay! Brother Mo Fan, be careful too!"

After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan discovered that Tang Yue had somehow managed to insert the Sky Serpent into the totem bead.

The entire totem bead, which had been tinged with a yellowish-green color, was now completely dominated by a dark blue-black color, and one could vaguely see something wriggling inside the bead.

"It can really fit?" Mo Fan looked at the totem bead with some curiosity and rubbed it with his fingers.

Although my little loach is also a totem vessel, it's too familiar and doesn't look lively at all.

Unlike this totem bead, which can actually hold a snake inside!

Will there be a dragon in my little mudfish?

"Stop fooling around, let's get out of here quickly. It won't be long before Zhu Meng's people seal this place off," Tang Yue said.

Tang Yue's prejudice against Zhu Meng cannot be eliminated in a short time!

Mo Fan nodded, steered the boat away from the island in the middle of the lake, and fled westward towards Hangzhou.

Tang Yue had already planned a route long ago; she intended to take the Sky Serpent to a small town called Baizhen on the border of Hangzhou.

Baizhen is located at the westernmost part of Hangzhou, which is actually quite a distance from the city.

On the white mountain in Bai Town, there is a hidden cave. Only the chieftains of the successive totem guardians know about this cave, and it is used to protect the totem during times of crisis.

Tang Yue, as the totem guardian destined since the age of eight, naturally knew this secret as well.

The journey to Baishan is neither too far nor too close. Mo Fan's task is to escort Tang Yue and the Sky Serpent to the Thousand Caves of Baishan.

The Baishan Mountains are a vast, unexplored mountain world, with caves connected to caves and mountains connected to mountains.

The Sky Serpent could be safest living there.

Even if Zhu Meng's men find the cave entrance, it will be to no avail; the labyrinthine caves will ensure that Zhu Meng's men never return.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Set off!"

Under the cover of night, the two secretly took the Sky Serpent and left Hangzhou, quickly fleeing to the westernmost border region of Hangzhou.

……

White Town!

Baizhen was originally a post station. As it was a transportation hub for major border fortresses, it gradually transformed from a post station village into a town.

Towns located near the border and military fortresses are often a melting pot of all sorts of people.

Merchants, mage hunters, military mages, members of the Magic Association, trainee students, members of noble families...

Of course, there may also be some wanted criminals and members of the inquiries committee mixed in!

Heading west, considering that this operation couldn't be too conspicuous, Mo Fan didn't even dare to drive his beloved War Wolf sports car, nor did he ride his most stylish Fire Scale Horse mount. He could only leave Hangzhou with Tang Yue on shared bicycles.

When they arrived at Baizhen, a town on the outskirts of Hangzhou, it was already dawn. Mo Fan saw that Tang Yue's forehead was covered in sweat, and she looked very nervous.

Having navigated the most dangerous part of the journey through Hangzhou, and with Mo Fan's witty banter, Tang Yue laughed, her tense demeanor easing somewhat.

She glanced at the totem bead she carried close to her body, then at the majestic city of Hangzhou behind her…

"Teacher Tang Yue, you don't need to worry. With me, Mo Fan, here, I guarantee you'll arrive safely at Baishan Thousand Caves." Mo Fan gently patted Teacher Tang Yue's shoulder.

"Thank you..." Tang Yue felt a little guilty.

She hadn't expected things to suddenly take such a dramatic turn.

Just now, the Hangzhou Lingyin Temple Tribunal issued an arrest warrant, which also put Mo Fan on the wanted list.

Tang Yue initially only wanted Mo Fan to accompany her on the journey to the White Mountain Thousand Caves to escort the Totem Serpent.

He was an outsider, yet someone I trusted, which allowed me to successfully avoid traitors within the clan.

Little did they know that Zhu Meng already possessed the official edicts from the two most authoritative magic associations in the country.

This forced Mo Fan to join him in opposing a member of the judicial council.

Tsk tsk, Mo Fan really had a lot of fantasies when Teacher Tang Yue was teaching. Recalling that passionate moment in the back seat of the taxi, where she seemed to be both rejecting and welcoming, Mo Fan felt that he would be letting down his promise to Mo Jiaxing's father to carry on the Mo family line if he didn't win over such a super beauty!

"If this can truly help everyone get through this ordeal..." Tang Yue bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said shyly, "I can promise you what you want afterward..."

Mo Fan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Teacher Tang Yue, you're not kidding me, are you?" Mo Fan said.

Tang Yue looked into Mo Fan's eyes, but there was no hint of a joke in her expression.

But she quickly looked away and revealed the truth: "My father left me a long time ago. I only remember him often saying that even if he wasn't by my side, he would be watching over me like a star..."

I didn't understand what he meant before, until that time when the figure of a god appeared underwater in West Lake.

Mo Fan, you may not really believe that God is truly protecting this city.

I admit I'm not sure if it committed any evil deeds, and our people are simply worshipping it according to the instructions of our ancestors.

But it is truly protecting me, all the time.

It has protected me for so many years, and now it is at its weakest. I really want to do everything I can to protect it and help it get through this period.

It's really, really important to me. You're willing to take such a big risk to help me, so I don't think I'd be asking for anything in return.

Mo Fan gently patted Tang Yue's shoulder, comforting her in her current mood.

It's clear that this snake boss treats Tang Yue like a father, caring for her like family.

And I shouldn't take advantage of others' misfortune at this time!

It wasn't that Mo Fan was moved by Tang Yue's words, but rather that he felt Tang Yue was, after all, his woman. The kind that seeps into your bones!

It was only due to the limitations of their social status and their adherence to tradition that they refused Mo Fan's improper request to use connections.

But there's still a long time to go.

There's no risk in using the back door; at most, you'll get a lecture for using the front door.

Then the back door will be breached sooner or later!

Now, if he were to lay a hand on Teacher Tang Yue again, he might be devoured by the snake boss, who is extremely protective of Tang Yue, one day, leaving not even a bone fragment.

As a person, one must know how to examine and weigh things carefully.

Don't believe a woman when she says it's not excessive.
