Early that morning, Mu Linsheng could not stop discussing the incident while Mo Fan was still having his breakfast. Many versions of the same story had appeared overnight.
“It’s really nothing. I just killed some sea monsters, do they really have to make it sound so crazy?” Mo Fan believed the people of the new city were exaggerating it.
“Brother, you are already used to fighting demon creatures. I bet you’ve seen more demon creatures than humans by now. Killing them is like slaughtering chickens for you, but not every Mage hangs out with the demon creatures as often as you! They are already considered veterans if they can slay a few demon creatures with their own hands. Being involved in a great battle against the demon creatures is enough for them to boast about for a few years!
“What happened last night might be insignificant to you, but it’s an unforgettable experience for many of the Mages who have never left the safe zones!” Mu Linsheng explained the viewpoint of the Mages who spent most of their time in the cities.
Mu Linsheng was a Mage too, but his cultivation was not that impressive. He knew there were not many Mages like Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue, who had fought numerous battles against demon creatures. Most Mages only pursued a stable life and income under the protection of the cities. They were not willing to risk their lives fighting against demon creatures…
Their country had lost a huge portion of its territory to the rising sea. The people were afraid as the sea monsters became restless. Under these circumstances, being able to punish the sea monsters and bring back their heads was already something to be proud of!
“Most of the people you normally hang out with are monsters like yourself, but the patrol squads only consist of normal Mages. Apart from the patrol squads, the new city has a lot of young Mages too! This incident has taken place so close to them, so it’s reasonable for them to behave like that… It’s also a great chance for our new city to make a name for ourselves! HAHAHA, we killed two hundred Viscera Hunters and more than two thousand Sea Hook Black Beasts, and the city is perfectly unharmed!” Mu Linsheng exclaimed.

Mu Linsheng left in a great mood. It was obvious that he was busy thinking about how he could use the opportunity. Meanwhile, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue continued to enjoy their breakfast. It was just a normal night for them. The battle was nothing worth mentioning, compared to what they had been through in the past.
“We still need some powerful Mages. It’s good enough if we can hire a few more Advanced Mages, let alone a Super Mage,” Mu Ningxue told Mo Fan.
“We’re just getting started. Let’s take one step at a time. I believe a lot of the Advanced Mages will be willing to join our stronghold if we successfully partner with the Mui Clan and the Dongfang Clan…” Mo Fan agreed.
Even though the average strength of the Mages in the patrol squads was only at the Intermediate Level, they still had to pay those Mages every day. There were only a few Advanced Mages among them. If Mo Fan had not happened to go with them, it was difficult to say how many among them would have made it back alive…
Mo Fan was unlikely to be around all the time. He knew what Mu Ningxue was trying to say. Fanxue Mountain needed more Mages they could rely on!
“It’s a villa, not a stronghold!” Mu Ningxue felt the need to correct him.
It was meant to be Fanxue Villa and Fanxue New City, yet it suddenly became some bandits’ stronghold in Mo Fan’s eyes.
“Villa, yes, our villa…” Mo Fan corrected himself.
“I have registered the new city under your name. Your reputation clearly exceeds mine. If the city was under my name, it would bring some hindrances to it,” Mu Ningxue told him.
Mu Ningxue clearly felt she was being picked on after she started managing Fanxue Mountain. It was obvious that people could not easily forget what Mu He had done in the past. On top of that, the Mu Clan had been quite a nuisance, too! If Fanxue Mountain was planning to grow further, it would be difficult to do so under Mu Ningxue’s name.
As such, Mu Ningxue used Mo Fan’s name to register the new city. Fanxue Mountain was established under both their names, too. The new city was a new hope for the people. She believed everything would be much smoother if it was under Mo Fan’s name.
“I just think that you’ve put everything you have into it. I didn’t really do anything, so it’s not fair…” Mo Fan began.
Mo Fan was used to being free and unconstrained. Otherwise, he would have long joined one of the factions that were interested in recruiting him. He was quite surprised that he had become the mayor of a city all of a sudden.
“I was just worried that you wouldn’t like it, since you’ve gotten used to walking your own path…” Mu Ningxue was well aware of Mo Fan’s character. He did not like being tied down by something, and preferred to live a free life.
“It’s true that I might struggle to adapt to it, but it’s fine; we have a long way to go still. We have to manage it together eventually, both Fanxue Mountain, and our adorable and cute little babies in the future,” Mo Fan said.
“…” Mu Ningxue was a little touched when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she was left speechless when she heard the second half. How did his thoughts even jump so far away!?
“Anyway, don’t worry about me, I’ll give you all my support as long as it’s something you want,” Mo Fan reached out and placed Mu Ningxue’s little hand in his palm. He rubbed her hand like it was a piece of jade. It felt cold, but surprisingly comfortable.
Mu Ningxue did not seem to be resisting the intimacy between them, giving him great joy!
Some women were the kind that men would have the urge to strip their clothes off and have an enjoyable time with right away, but they would be forgotten soon, too. There were also women that men preferred to approach slowly, even though they were hoping for the same final outcome. They would enjoy the process of slowly melting their hearts and merging with them into one… even if Mo Fan had to wait until he was thirty to achieve his goal, he would not think of it as a long journey!
Fanxue Mountain was a great responsibility, and a huge burden to take good care of. Mo Fan would prefer not to be bound by such burdens, but he clearly felt that Fanxue Mountain had shortened the distance between him and Mu Ningxue. She had begun to open up her heart without realizing it when he helped her achieve her dream with everything he had.
If Fanxue Mountain could really become the bridge between them, Mo Fan would not mind abandoning his free and unconstrained old self and becoming a responsible person…
Many women dreamed of having a family, a home that could shelter them from their worries and problems. They would slowly taste the warmth of love, and in Mu Ningxue’s case, she would only feel secure and have a sense of belonging when she finally had her own city…
Since Mo Fan had decided to stay with her, he must take on the responsibilities too!
Either way, he had chosen her to be his wife first…

“I’m heading out for a while,” Mu Ningxue rose to her feet. Someone was looking for her.
Mo Fan nodded. He squinted and admired Mu Ningxue’s alluring curves… ah, the tight-fitting pants with faint gray and silver lines, the slightly waving butt. It must be very bouncy to touch, and if he was doing it from behind…
Did he just think that it was fine to wait to sleep with her until he was thirty years old?
He had an urge to pin her down right now!
