"Come with me to the mountain, I need your fire to burn the weeds," Yu Shishi said to Mofan.
"Are you kidding me? I'm not your servant. Don't ask me to burn the mountain and fertilize the soil!" Mofan was left speechless by the woman. She seriously had the guts to ask him to do anything!
Did she really think she could do whatever she wanted just because she had Mu Ningxue to back her up? Mofan meant it when he said he was not going to dump her!
"Don't you want to know my secret? I promised to tell you," Yu Shishi said.
"Your scent can only come from you. It can't be mass-produced. What's the point of it? You should focus on nurturing your moths instead. Don't ask me to burn the mountain," Mofan said.
Yu Shishi's unique scent was very effective. Unfortunately, it seemed to be her own ability, like some kind of innate talent.
It was impossible to replicate an innate talent. If an innate talent could be replicated, the people of the Magic Association could replicate his Double Innate Elements too. Wouldn't it greatly improve the strength of every Mage?
Mofan was not interested in Yu Shishi. He was hoping she could protect Fanxue Mountain instead.
Yu Shishi was afraid of fire, but there were a lot of moss and weeds on Feiyue Mountain that could not be burned by ordinary fire. The weeds had taken most of the nutrients from the soil of Feiyue Mountain. It was impossible to plant the Golden Blue Grass if they could not get rid of them.
The weeds that were burned would return some of the nutrients to the soil.
Yu Shishi made a call. As she thought, Mofan, who was unwilling to be her gardener, came to her obediently. Yu Shishi smiled when she saw Mofan's reluctance and displeasure.
"It seems like there's someone in this world who can deal with you," Yu Shishi said.
"Don't call Mu Ningxue for no reason. She's very busy," Mofan said unhappily.
"You've killed so many of my moths. It's not too much to ask you to work for me. I'll slowly forgive you," Yu Shishi said.
"Don't forget that I'm the one who spared your life," Mofan said.
Mofan soon discovered the weeds that Yu Shishi had mentioned. Plants were categorized into different grades in nature, and these weeds were obviously of a higher grade. Normal fire was ineffective against them.
"I'll burn it from here to the north," Mofan said.
Mo Fan had great control over his flames. He could accurately burn the weeds without harming the other plants. It was also the reason why Yu Shishi asked Mo Fan for help. Burning down a mountain required skills. Without sufficient strength, one might not be able to do it well.
Yu Shishi found a place to rest. She glanced down at Yueyang Land and noticed the outline of the Fanxue Villa was starting to take shape. She believed it would soon turn into a spectacular villa.
The roads were also under construction. The construction of the roads required a large amount of investment. Presumably, this would be a much slower and larger project.
The construction of the harbor, the valley, and the river would take some time.
For some reason, Yu Shishi's heart calmed down as she looked at the buildings that were slowly taking shape. She was also filled with anticipation for what this place would look like.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"
Flames rose in the north all of a sudden. They burned like the clouds in the sky and soon covered the entire mountain.
The flames dyed the sky red, but they didn't stir up any smoke or dust. Several flames flitted across the side of the mountain like agile flood dragons, quickly taking away the weeds that covered the mountain. Heat waves continued to surge over from there.
Yu Shishi subconsciously panicked when she saw the flames. The moths circling around her shrunk back too.
Yu Shishi tried her best to calm down and comforted them with a soft voice.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"
A huge flame suddenly appeared in another direction. It was a brilliant golden color. The golden flames burned fiercely to the south of Yu Shishi. They immediately spread across the mountain while Yu Shishi was still lost in her thoughts.
Yu Shishi turned around and was stunned by what she saw.
Mofan was clearly in the north. Why would there be flames in the south, too?
What made Yu Shishi tremble the most was that her moths were resting on the mountain to the south.
Yu Shishi knew they were afraid of Mofan's flames. She purposely gathered them on another mountain, yet the mountain was already devoured by the golden flames. It was a nightmare for Yu Shishi.
Mofan saw the golden flames on the other side too.
He was a little troubled at first. Why was Yu Shishi wasting his time when she had already asked the others for help?
However, on second thought, Mofan soon realized that something was not right.
He quickly ran towards Yu Shishi, only to find that she was no longer where she had been. He could vaguely see a pair of wings flying towards the golden flames from the mountain ridge.
"What … what's going on?" Mofan had no idea what was going on. He quickly Summoned the Flying Creek Snow Wolf and sprinted toward the mountain.
The golden flames were extremely powerful. By the time the moths realized the danger they were in, it was already too late for them to escape. Their wings were quickly burned away by the flames, and their bodies fell to the scorching ground. Even though they could still hold on for a while, it was difficult for the moths to walk without their wings.
Flocks of birds fell to the ground, piling up layer after layer. Without their wings, they were roasted alive by the golden fire.
The moths on the mountain were the remaining moths that Yu Shishi had brought from Tongxiang. They had suffered great losses because of Mofan's flames, but they were now in danger of being wiped out by the golden flames. The golden flames did not show any mercy. The moths that could not make a sound did not even have the chance to cry out in agony. They had no choice but to roll themselves up and try to save a few of them.
"I hate these things the most. They are still insects even if they have wings. They are just a bunch of disgusting, filthy things!" A man in a fiery golden robe stood in the flames at the top of the mountain. His face was filled with disgust toward the moths.
"We are only trying to lure the moth women out. This place is still private property. Let's not make a big deal out of it," Ke Lingxi, a member of the Research Union, said.
Ke Lingxi was from the Donghai Magic Association. He was aware that the place had been claimed by Mu Ningxue not long ago. The government and the Magic Association had set the rules that forbade Mages from using destructive spells at the Advanced Level and above in the city or private property.
It was definitely inappropriate to burn the entire mountain to ashes like Zeng Guanglie did.
"I don't even care about the renowned clans. Why would I care about the opinion of a little clan? I'm here to get the job done as soon as possible. Don't you forget, if we fail, Mr. Su Lu is going to lose his temper. If Mr. Su Lu loses his temper, it won't be as simple as burning a mountain," Zeng Guanglie said.
While speaking, Zeng Guanglie was still sprinkling the golden flames all over the mountain. The fierce power of fire had even started to spread to the other mountains.
"I seriously don't understand how you managed to become a member of the Research Union. The Donghai Magic Association is under the jurisdiction of the Asian Magic Association. In China, apart from the Dongfang Pearl Magic Association, you still have to obey the orders of the others, yet you're so hesitant to do anything for Mr. Su Lu. What's the point of wiping out a clan, let alone burning a mountain in their private property?" Zeng Guanglie snarled.
"We didn't expect Mr. Su Lu to be in charge of it himself," Ke Lingxi said humbly.
Ke Lingxi had only discovered the clues about the Totem Beasts by accident. He quickly reported it to the authorities of the Donghai Magic Association. To his surprise, Councilman Su Lu was informed about it too!
Ke Lingxi was a few ranks below a Councilman. He never thought he would be working for Councilman Su Lu. It explained why Zeng Guanglie did not treat the local government and the Magic Association seriously. No one from the Donghai Magic Association dared to speak up when Mr. Su Lu was involved!
"Stop it, stop it right now!" a hoarse voice came from the sky.
Ke Lingxi, Zeng Guanglie, and a few others lifted their heads and saw Yu Shishi with a pair of giant moth wings.
"Moth woman, there really is a moth woman!" a member of the Research Union exclaimed, pointing at Yu Shishi.
"It's her, isn't it?" Zeng Guanglie asked with a smile.
"Yes, she's the moth woman!"
"See, didn't we find her so easily with my simple yet violent method?" Zeng Guanglie's smile widened, but his half-squinted eyes were filled with a cruel flicker.
Ke Lingxi was a little intimidated by the cruel man. He wondered how many times the man had done for Councilman Su Lu.
"Little moth woman, you're so lucky to have caught our master's attention. You must be very valuable," Zeng Guanglie said.
While saying this, Zeng Guanglie didn't forget to stomp heavily on the moth's corpse on the ground.
Yu Shishi stared at the golden flames. She almost had a mental breakdown after seeing the corpses.
She had finally found a safe place to live. She could finally live a life without being harassed by others. She had not done anything wrong this time. How did things end up like this?
Yu Shishi's face was covered in blue veins when she saw the moths that she treated like her family turning into scorched corpses in the flames.
She burst out crying, baring her fangs.
It seemed like she was going to eat the people who had killed her moths alive!
