"If they are here for the Totem Beasts, they won't give up so easily," Mu Ningxue said.
"Not many people know about the existence of the Totem Beasts. I'm guessing the Research Union has someone else behind the scenes. You should be more careful from now on. Try your best not to let them have any evidence against you," Mofan said.
"Let Tula protect Yu Shishi for the time being," Mu Ningxue said.
After learning about Yu Shishi's capabilities, Mu Ningxue did not want to lose a unique protector of her territory.
"Tula has his own mission." Mofan would never leave Tula with Yu Shishi. Helping Yu Shishi was just a pain in the ass for him. Mofan would never agree to let Bola, who was supposed to protect Mu Ningxue, Ling Ling, Liu Ru, and the others, protect someone else.
…
After settling Yu Shishi down, Mofan and Mu Ningxue had a discussion.
"It's related to the ancient Totem Beasts. It's no small matter. Those guys must have someone powerful backing them. It's going to be troublesome if we want to protect Yu Shishi," Mofan said.
"But if we help her overcome the crisis, she will be loyal to our territory. I can't think of anyone better than Yu Shishi to protect our territory," Mu Ningxue said.
"Besides, I'll have to talk to Professor Shi about it. I bet he didn't expect another Totem Beast apart from the Black Totem Snake to still be alive. Yu Shishi is the only clue we have," Mofan said.
"Mm, it's good to know."
…
Mofan returned to the Magic City, Shanghai. He did not go straight to Professor Shi's place. Instead, he went to the Clearsky Hunter Agency.
He pushed open the door with a bell on it. The crisp sound echoed in his ears. He glanced inside and saw Ling Ling leaning against the bar counter with a small backpack on her back. She seemed to be bored out of her mind.
Ling Ling's adorable face broke into a smile when she saw Mofan, but it was soon replaced by a bitter look. She harrumphed coldly.
Mofan went up to Ling Ling and gave her a bear hug. He said with an evil grin, "My Ling, did you miss me!?"
"I thought you forgot that you're still a Hunter of the Clearsky Hunter Agency!" Ling Ling said.
If Mofan was not around, she would have to go to school. The problem was, for a smart girl like Ling Ling, going to school was like a college student going to kindergarten. It was extremely uncomfortable!
She was happy that Mofan was here. She could finally hunt demon beasts, go on adventures, and take on quests with high rewards!
"What good jobs are there?" Mofan asked with a smile, as if he had no sense of shame.
"I've missed out on all the good jobs. The rest are either too dangerous, or not very rewarding," Ling Ling complained.
"Then let's put the Hunter job aside for now. I need you to help me look for information about an ancient Totem Beast in the Yellow River Basin. Dig up as much information as you can!" Mofan said.
"Totem beast???" Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up, and the little loli perked up.
Totem Beasts were legendary existences. There were a few quests in the Hunter Union that no one had been able to complete until now. Some of them were related to the secrets of the Totem Beasts. Ling Ling had already prepared a report about the Totem Beasts in the Hunter Union. She was planning to wait until Mofan became stronger before she could solve the mystery. To her surprise, Mofan had already found a way to solve the mystery!
There was very little information about the Totem Beasts. Even the ancient ruins were buried under history and demon beasts, let alone clues. It was extremely difficult to find any information about the Totem Beasts.
"Which Totem Beast is it? Grandpa might have some information about it," Ling Ling was a lot more energetic now that she had something to do.
"I'm here to get some ancient information from Old Man Bao. I heard from Liu Ru that he has a lot of ancient information. It's the Moon Moth Phoenix. Didn't I get rid of a Moth Demoness in Tongxiang? Mu Ningxue wanted her to turn over a new leaf and become the guardian spirit of our territory. I didn't expect her to be related to the Totem Beast, the Moon Moth Phoenix. The people of the Research Union are keeping an eye on her, but I have a feeling that there are more people behind the Research Union. I need you to investigate who is looking for the Moon Moth Phoenix, "Mofan said.
"Alright, wait here, I'll go upstairs and take a look." Ling Ling jogged upstairs. The stairs were hollow. The girl did not care that she was wearing a short skirt. She simply climbed up the stairs right in front of Mofan.
Mofan quickly shifted his gaze away. He could not afford to have any dirty thoughts about the little beauty Ling Ling. Even though she was purposely exposing her adorable pink-blue underwear to him, he could not afford to think about it any further.
…
I believe it has something to do with the short lifespan of the Moon Moth Phoenix … according to the information I have here, moths are creatures with short lifespans. Some of them can only live for a few nights. The Moon Moth Phoenix might be a Totem Beast, but it can't break the rules of its species. Its lifespan is only seven months. It will turn into a pupa after seven months, "Ling Ling came down the stairs with a thick book in her hands.
The girl was too engrossed in the things she was interested in. She did not even realize she had missed a step. Luckily, Mo Fan was quick enough to catch Lingling, who almost fell down the stairs with his Telekinesis.
"Seven months? That short?" Mofan blurted out in surprise.
A thousand-year-old demon snake like the Black Totem Snake would need to shed his skin every few decades. However, shedding his skin did not mean he was reborn. It was just a change of clothes that were no longer in season.
The Moon Moth Phoenix was also a Totem Beast, yet it only had a lifespan of seven months. How did it survive for thousands of years?
It was just as Yu Shishi had mentioned. The Totem Beasts might be powerful, but they were extremely fragile too. They were like weak moths. They could easily perish if humans tried to harm them!
"Are we going to find the Moon Moth Phoenix?" Ling Ling asked.
Mofan shook his head and said, "We're trying to stop the Research Union from finding it. The Totem Beasts are friendly to humans. We might need their help to fend off the demon creatures in the future …"
