"I understand, but Zhao Manyan's life is worthless. He can do whatever he wants, but you can't!" Mofan immediately told her the truth.
If Zhao Manyan, who was shivering under the blanket, could hear the words, his soul would most likely rush over and fight Mofan to the death. He had never seen such a scumbag friend before!
"Stop wasting time, just tell her. Otherwise, we will still be like headless flies," Mu Ningxue said.
Mofan tried to persuade her, but Mu Ningxue insisted on her idea.
"I don't want anything to happen to you," Mofan said straightforwardly.
"If you really don't want anything to happen to you, you should try your best to help me and Zhao Manyan recover after the accident, instead of telling me all this," Mu Ningxue said seriously.
Her eyes were firm and fearless, as if she was already prepared to encounter all kinds of strange things since she had decided to go on this journey. She had never thought of running away from it.
"Do you really trust me that much?" Mofan looked at Mu Ningxue. His eyes gradually softened.
Mu Ningxue fell silent. She had no idea how to answer Mofan's question.
If she said yes, she believed that Mofan would misunderstand. However, Mu Ningxue never doubted Mofan. She believed that if she really had the same strange situation as Zhao Manyan, he would try his best to help them wake up.
What else could Mo Fan do when he had already made it clear?
He returned to the small hill and saw that Miyata was still standing there with her back to the two of them.
She turned around with the same sweet look. As a matter of fact, Mofan would rather she turned around with a rotten, ferocious face. That way, Mofan would not have to mention Mu Ningxue's name. He could just kill her straight away!
Mofan never thought the situation would be so complicated. His friend was already in danger, and he still had to sacrifice someone he cared about.
"Her name is Mu Ningxue," Mofan blurted out.
For some reason, Mofan regretted it as soon as he said the name.
He could feel Miyata smiling, a seductive smile hidden under her innocent appearance. It was most likely her true face.
However, Mo Fan understood that it was utterly childish and meaningless to say something like "If you dare to hurt her, I'll tear you into pieces". It was not something that could be said with words, but it was something that should be done. It was enough to keep it in his heart!
"Alright, I'll take a look at the back of the mountain. Maybe I can find the antidote to the strange disease," Miyata smiled and bowed slightly at Mofan.
"Hang on, how am I supposed to find … you next time?" Mofan blurted out.
Miyata disappeared in the middle of the sentence. The only thing left on the hill were the wild chrysanthemums swaying gently in the wind. The fragrance of the chrysanthemums was similar to Miyata's scent, filling his nose in the quiet night …
"Did she leave?" Mu Ningxue asked Mofan.
"Mm, I think she did it," Mofan looked at Mu Ningxue worriedly.
It seemed like he would have to stay by Mu Ningxue's side at all times. Zhao Manyan's soul had been taken away because he could not see Miyata, but Mofan could see her. If she tried to do anything to Mu Ningxue, he could catch her right away!
"It's useless to talk about it now. Let's head back first," Mu Ningxue said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Mofan asked.
"I'm fine …"
"Are you not afraid because you believe I'll wake you up?" Mofan asked.
"You're annoying."
…
Mu Ningxue and Mofan went back to the room they were staying in. They checked on Zhao Manyan's condition.
Zhao Manyan was still in the same condition. Nanrong Ni had been watching over him, using her Healing Magic to lower his temperature and prevent any abnormalities from happening to his body.
Mofan touched Zhao Manyan's head. He could feel the coldness on his forehead. It was below the normal temperature of a human. If he was not a Magician, his life would be in danger.
"Nanrong Ni, I'll sleep with Mu Ningxue tonight," Mofan said to Nanrong Ni.
Nanrong Ni's eyes widened. She blushed and nodded, "Alright, I'll sleep with Nan Jue …"
"Do you even know how to speak properly?" Mu Ningxue snapped, completely infuriated by Mofan's words.
"I have to keep an eye on you," Mofan did not think he had said anything wrong.
Everyone needed some rest. It was better to wait until the sun rose. It was better to look for the monks who were out performing rituals. They would know more about the disease. Even if they could not find them, it would be easier for them to ask around when the people at the foot of the mountain had woken up. They might not even bother knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night.
"Nanrong Ni, please don't misunderstand …" Mu Ningxue knew Mofan was not going to leave. She quickly explained to Nanrong Ni.
Nanrong Ni agreed with Mu Ningxue's decision. If even a Healer like her could not do anything about the strange disease, the only way to cure it was to find the source of the disease.
"Why don't we all stay up tonight and stay with Mu Ningxue?" said Nanrong Ni.
…
It didn't take long for all the team members to arrive.
Jiang Shaoxu and Jiang Yu had returned from the foot of the mountain. It was already quite late when they left the mountain. They did not manage to find the owner of the izakaya. They only caught some random passersby late at night. They had no idea what was going on at the temple. Suo Ye had no choice but to ask around during the day.
The other teams searched the temple a few times, but they did not discover anything out of the ordinary. The only thing left was the deeper part of the mountain behind the temple. It was connected to the woods further inland. It was better to wait until the day to investigate the place. It was pitch black, and they could not see anything.
"You asshole, how could you put Mu Ningxue in danger too? You're the one who started it. You've caused so much trouble for us!" Guan Yu was enraged when he heard Mofan and Mu Ningxue's plan.
In his eyes, he was Mu Ningxue's guardian angel. How could they risk Mu Ningxue's life without his permission?
"Piss off if you don't want to help. No one needs your barking skills," Mo Fan scolded him without holding back.
Guan Yu was about to curse back when Ai Jiangtu stopped him.
"Enough, if Mu Ningxue is fine with it, there's no point in us wasting our time here. Let's wait for the outcome. Mofan, you stay here and look after her. The rest of you should get some rest. We're all tired. You'll only have the energy to deal with the problem after a good rest, "said Ai Jiangtu.
"No way, I'm worried if Mofan stays here alone to look after Mu Ningxue," objected Guan Yu.
