The mountain to the south of Fanxue Mountain…

Mo Fan was pacing back and forth in a delicate hut, like he had nothing better to do.

When he saw Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ coming out of the little barn nearby, he immediately asked after thinking of something, “Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, why isn’t there a single electric socket here? You’re living like a primitive human. Go ask someone in Fanxue City to pull the electric cables out here and get you some street lamps, television, computer, and broadband. That’s more like a human’s life.”

“My moths aren’t fond of those things. Besides, I don’t plan to accommodate people like you. Why would I prepare those meaningless things? Oh, a few moths just came from Fanxue Villa. It seems like someone wants to hand you a letter in person. It sounds quite urgent,” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said.

“Ask your moths to bring the letter to me. I’m too tired, I don’t feel like moving around,” Mo Fan said vaguely.

He had fought the Manta Ray Evil Birds, the Bird Emperor, and then the chief of the Enforcement Union. He had also helped the group to clear a path out of the island. Mo Fan was seriously worn out. He did not want to go anywhere. He just wanted to lie down and do nothing.

“What were you up to this time?” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked.

“(Sigh), it’s a pretty long story, come give me a ma.s.sage if you’re keen to hear it…” Mo Fan cajoled her.

“Who cares if you say it or not!?” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ snapped back.

“We went to Dawn Island and found another Totem Beast,” Mo Fan admitted.

He briefly explained what had happened on Dawn Island to Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. He mainly focused on the enormous corpse at the bottom of the sea. He wondered if the creature was somehow related to little Moon Moth Phoenix.

Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was very interested in Totem Beasts. However, she had no clue what the corpse in the sea was.

“What about the others? Why didn’t they come back with you?” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked.

“Lingling told me she had a way to get rid of the Manta Ray Evil Birds. She asked me to take care of the Bird Emperor instead. I trust her to take care of things well,” Mo Fan replied.

As they were talking, a bunch of tiny moths came in from the east. They were diligently carrying an envelope embroidered with gold, like tiny flying postal carriers. They delicately placed the letter in front of Mo Fan.

After they were done, they happily took off and landed on Mo Fan’s shoulder and head, like they were interested in reading the letter too.

“Take a look at it, it must be something urgent,” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ urged him.

Mo Fan opened the letter and noticed it was from Wen Xia. Inside was an invitation made of unique material, written with some important dates and times.

Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was reading the letter too. She blurted out in surprise after she was done, “They need your permission for that, too?”

“That’s another long story. Come ma.s.sage my legs and show me an erotic dance, and I might consider telling you,” Mo Fan said shamelessly.

“Why don’t you just die instead?” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ snarled.

“The military of a new city wants me to be their Councilman, but I’m not really interested, so they just reserved the role under my name. I have two votes in every meeting held by the city: one is as an honorable Councilman, and one as the city’s honorable guardian. Normally, if I don’t take part in the meetings, my votes would be disregarded, but it seems like it has something to do with a huge election at the new Elemental Capital, so I have to cast my votes in person…

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to ignore it this time. I was hoping they would help me build a nice dam for our Fanxue City. Ugh, I have to pay them a visit. I’ll let Evil Star rest here. As for w.a.n.ggui Town, can you wake Liu Ru up and ask her to go there?” Mo Fan said.

“I’m not your servant, don’t you order me around!” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ complained.

“If you keep acting like that, I’m going to charge you tax for the mountain. Many people are interested in making this a tourist spot. The tourists will be more than happy to view these beautiful moths and a flying moth woman with a huge bust,” Mo Fan threatened her.

“Don’t you dare!” Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ put up a fierce expression.

Mo Fan rose to his feet unwillingly. He had to set off for a long journey again, before he even had a chance to catch his breath. How annoying!

“Right, ask that Li Dong to come here too, his Summoned Beast is pretty convenient. He can give me another ride to Dingcheng… make sure you wake Liu Ru up. If she keeps sleeping, she will soon be a little girl to everyone here,” Mo Fan said.

Dingcheng…

In the past, whenever an army established an important city, it would soon be guarded heavily, since resources would be transported to the city continuously. Dingcheng was a perfect example. After the barrier was successfully established, the new Elemental Capital had gotten a lot of attention due to its geographic location. It was no longer dilapidated and bleak. Buildings stood firmly along the mountain path, while the roads intertwined at different levels. The city now had a majestic appearance from afar!

The castle with the huge clock tower was fully rebuilt. It now had the shape of a sword, and was called the Rock Sword PaG.o.da.

The Rock Sword PaG.o.da had merged both the defensive fortress and the clock tower into one. It had quickly become a symbolic structure in the city. It now had three towers soaring towards the clouds.

The election was being held in the building in the center. On a balcony overlooking the mountain below, a man in light gray linen clothes stood on it with his hands spread across the rail while his body leaned against it.

“See that? That’s the Cave of Darkness, it has the richest resources of the Earth Element in this entire continent. Once we secure it, we will basically control the line of defense along the coastline!” Councilman Nan had brown curly hair. His face looked very young, but the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes exposed his age.

“Indeed, the compet.i.tion here is weaker than other cities, but it controls the future,” Dan Yong, the new female vice mayor of the city, agreed.

“Vice Mayor Dan, we’ll be working closely together from now on,” Councilman Nan said.

“You owe me a great deal. Not everyone can be so sincere and send the military to help their business partner as I did,” Dan Yong smiled.

“That Zhu Qi seriously isn’t the reliable kind. The election is around the corner. I can’t let anything interfere with it…” Councilman Nan said.

“I heard they have resolved the threat posed by the Manta Ray Evil Birds,” Dan Yong informed him.

“Already? That quick!?” Councilman Nan blurted out in surprise. It sounded like a huge problem according to Zhu Qi’s report.

“Someone seems to have figured out a brilliant plan to drug the Manta Ray Evil Birds,” Dan Yong said.

“Oh, hmm, drugging them…” Councilman Nan’s eyes glittered.
