Shells, silver-white shells that looked like metal were covering the vast sea without leaving a single gap between them, an astonishing sight, as if the sea had frozen!
They had formed a vast silver-white landscape with no visible end. It was impossible to count their numbers!
Even though the shells had a beautiful luster and the spectacular shells had almost merged with the white clouds in the distance, stealing the limelight from the ocean, the Mage was not touched by the stunning view at all. Instead, he was overwhelmed by fear!
They were living creatures!
How many sea monsters with shells would it take to form such a shocking sight!?
What kind of disaster would these sea monsters bring when they reached the shores of human territories!?
How did they even reproduce so quickly, and take up such a huge area of the ocean?
What exactly had happened in the ocean!?
“Let…let’s get out of here,” the Mage finally told the pilot after a prolonged silence.
The pilot’s mind had gone blank too. He quickly turned the helicopter around and made their way back.
As a matter of fact, they were already overwhelmed by fear after observing it from a great distance away. Why would they even dare to get any closer?

Fanxue Mountain…
Mo Fan remembered the place was like a heart beating vigorously before he left. The roads constantly had materials being brought in. Buildings were being constructed non-stop on the vacant land, the workers and builders were working diligently. The sky above the new city had a gray curtain of ash produced by the industrial works looming over it.
However, he was amazed by how clean the streets were now that he was back. Many trees had been planted on both sides of the roads. The commercial district had many tall buildings with dazzling lights. The luxurious homes and residential areas were well-organized. It looked completely different from its disorderly appearance not long ago.
The new city used to contain many construction sites and mud, with materials piled up like hills, but now it was truly a new city. Even the style of the buildings was similar to those in Bo City. They were new, with the unique charm of traditional buildings, even though they were purposely built that way to imitate the buildings of Bo City…
The new city that had undergone tremendous changes was being built around the Fanxue Villa. It covered a huge area, so many places were still under construction. However, Mo Fan was already impressed by the city’s transformation.
“Xuexue, you’re so impressive!” Mo Fan complimented her sincerely.
“I didn’t do much; my father and Mu Linsheng have done most of the planning,” Mu Ningxue replied.
Mu Zhuoyun used to be the local tyrant of Bo City in the past, and was experienced in managing a city. He had been visiting many cities in recent years after his downfall, and had learned a lot from his visits. He was finally able to show off his skills while helping to build the new city!
“I didn’t expect that old guy to be an expert in city building. You can never judge a book by its cover!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
“Our Fanxue Villa is a little different, too. Let me show you around,” Mu Ningxue said.
“Sure, I should really familiarize myself with our love nest,” Mo Fan agreed happily.
The Fanxue Villa was delicately renovated. The foot of the mountain was designed like a park, similar to the Mu Family’s villa in Bo City. However, it was a lot bigger than the Mu Family’s villa had been.
The middle of the mountain held many training grounds. Most clans would have private training grounds where their disciples could train at. One could roughly judge the prosperity of a clan by looking at the scale of their training grounds.
Further up the mountain stood many lovely houses allocated to the main members of Fanxue Mountain. They were the core of Fanxue Mountain. Since the Fanxue Mountain was not established based on a clan’s surname, many loyal and capable people were given the comfortable houses on the mountain. Not only were the houses located in a great environment close to the Fanxue New City, the people could easily enjoy the spectacular view of the prospering city just by looking down the mountain. Many people who were not core members of the Fanxue Mountain had offered a lot of money to buy a home there, but Mu Ningxue was not willing to sell any of them.
Only the core members of the Fanxue Mountain were allowed to live in those houses!
The roads along the way up were specifically designed for street racing. They eventually led to the Fanxue Mansion at the spacious top of the mountain. It had the biggest training ground, a garden with a sea of flowers, a forest of maple trees, a huge swimming pool, a hall with a fountain…
The place looked abandoned the last time Mo Fan had stayed at Fanxue Mountain. It only held a lonely house built from stones, apart from the trees and weeds. Living on the mountain felt no different from staying in the wild, so Mo Fan had preferred to live in his condominium in the Magic City instead.
But now, the Fanxue Mountain was like a dreamland. Even the dining hall was built on an artificial pond, with French windows and white curtains!
They were indeed born of a renowned clan. Mo Fan, who was satisfied as long as he had a stool to sit on while he was eating, had never imagined a dining hall could be so luxurious!
Mu Ningxue was quite serious about the environment she lived in!
“Do you like it?” Mu Ningxue asked.
“Words can’t express how much I like it, HAHAHA! But where did you get so much money?” Mo Fan had to ask.
“Many businessmen see the prospects of our Fanxue Mountain and are interested in collaborating with us in the future, so they were very attentive when helping us to renovate the Fanxue Villa. We only need to pay for the materials!” Mu Ningxue informed him.
It was quite simple. Mu Linsheng had simply asked the companies to bid for the opportunity by how well they could renovate the Fanxue Villa. Those that did a great job with it would secure an opportunity to develop Fanxue City. There were many areas available, so many businesses were interested in bidding for them. They had hired the best professionals to renovate the Fanxue Villa, so everything was of the best quality!
Mu Linsheng was pretty smart. He let the different companies renovate the Fanxue Villa based on his ideas, so the overall style was still the same even though the companies were doing the work separately, hence why the Fanxue Villa had a modern and luxurious look now!
Mo Fan was utterly speechless.
To think that they did not even spend much on turning the Fanxue Villa into a luxurious home!
He was even more surprised when he heard that the companies that used to suppress them, were striving for the chance to fawn upon them now…
This land was f**king worth it!
“You were like a princess living in a castle in the past. Whenever I was lying along the fences at the foot of the mountain and looking up, I always thought that your family’s villa wasn’t really that impressive. I was going to build a palace for you in the future instead… but I didn’t think you would build it yourself. I feel a little awkward now!” Mo Fan scratched his head.
The little boy once had a dream, to build a palace for the little princess and live happily ever after with her. But in reality, the princess had worked hard to build a new palace for herself instead!
Somehow, Mo Fan felt like he was the one being taken care of…
Mu Ningxue smiled. She did not comment on it.
As a matter of fact, many people had moved to the Fanxue Mountain out of admiration after it was established. However, most of them were Mo Fan’s admirers, after what he had done at the Ancient Capital and Beijiang. Therefore, the people that had moved to the Fanxue Mountain were loyal, and with their help, Fanxue Mountain was able to grow rapidly!
If it wasn’t for Mo Fan’s reputation, the Fanxue Mountain would never have reached its current level. Mu He’s involvement in the Black Vatican was like an inerasable black scar on Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun’s names!
“Ah, I have something to give you too… why don’t you show us our rooms first? It’s better not to show it here.” Mo Fan immediately thought of something. It provided his dignity with some relief from the thought that he was being taken care of.
Mu Ningxue led Mo Fan past a few houses.
Mo Fan’s house was built according to his identity as the master, thus it was in the limelight out of all places in the Fanxue Villa.
He went through the door and walked past a small garden with pebbles and blue bamboo beside a bedroom before he finally reached his house. The place was thrice the size of his apartment in the Magic City. He was dumbfounded when he saw the luxurious style of the building, like it was built for a modern emperor.
“Where’s my bed?” Mo Fan asked.
“The bedroom is upstairs.”
“Isn’t our room a little… did the companies renovate it too?” Mo Fan was struggling to find the right words to describe it.
“I told them the style I like. I think you will like it too,” Mu Ningxue said.
Mo Fan thought he was now capable of supporting Mu Ningxue financially, but it turned out that her definition of a luxurious lifestyle was not on the same level as his.
(Sigh) Forget it. He should just let Mu Ningxue support him financially instead. He did not mind living off a woman. He was willing to put his dignity aside and accept it…
“If this is the master bedroom, who does the room we just passed belong to?” Mo Fan asked.
“It’s mine,” Mu Ningxue said.
“Yours?” Mo Fan asked.
“I’m staying there,” Mu Ningxue said.
“You’re staying… wait, you’re telling me that I’m living by myself?” Mo Fan suddenly realized.
“Mm,” Mu Ningxue nodded.
“But didn’t you renovate this place according to the style you like?” Mo Fan said.
“I do like the style, but I never said I was staying here.” Mu Ningxue grinned when he saw Mo Fan’s disappointed face. She never said she was going to live with him. He was the one that took it for granted!
The series of surprises that Mo Fan had received from the tour around the Fanxue Villa was shattered into pieces by a single sentence from Mu Ningxue!
If that was the case, he would rather stay in his little apartment in the Magic City. He might be able to enjoy some pleasant sights from Mui Nujiao and Ai Tutu. He was looking forward to living together with Mu Ningxue… He had to admit that these separate bedrooms were now worse than going on a date in a public coffee shop!
