Chapter 2942: I’m An Adult

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo Fan received a lot of important information from Sharjah. The feeling of being at a loss was horrible. Fortunately, he had figured out everything and knew what step to take next.

Mo Fan did not stay around in the Holy City for long. The longer he stayed in the city, the greater the pressure Sharjah would feel.

The next moonless night would be the Red Demon’s Ascension Ceremony. Mo Fan looked at the calendar and realized it was less than a month before the full moon eclipse.

He had to look for Lingling regarding this matter.

Meanwhile, Sharjah let Yan Lan stay in the Holy City. After all, the most dangerous place was also the safest. Sharjah could protect Yan Lan if she stayed in the Holy City. It would be much safer than staying in the country.

The killer was a Forbidden Mage. Mo Fan could not think of any other person who could truly ensure Yan Lan’s safety.

He returned to the country alone. It was already midnight, and a perfectly shaped crescent moon appeared in the pitch-black sky. If one were to look carefully at it, one could notice the slight curve in the middle of the crescent moon.

Mo Fan rushed back to the Imperial Capital overnight and found the Clearsky Hunter Agency franchise.

The Clearsky Hunter Agency in Magic City was a flagship store. Meanwhile, the franchise was set up by Old Bao’s disciples. The Clearsky Hunter City was situated in one of the streets, just like the one in the Magic City. They received various bizarre, demonic cases in the urban city and worked closely with many official organizations.

Mo Fan had practiced his cultivation behind closed-door for more than a year. Lingling could not possibly stand guard over him all that time. Hence, she was transferred to the Imperial College and attended a school there.

The moment Mo Fan stepped into the Clearsky Hunter Agency, he saw Leng Qing at the bar. She sat on a high stool reading a stack of documents.

It was already late at night. The Clearsky Hunter Agency was not entirely a small cafeteria. Its decoration resembled a serene, small-scale bar. Mo Fan was about to greet Leng Qing when a man with slick black hair and leather jacket walked forward. The man stared at Mo Fan in disdain. He held a glass of wine and sat beside Leng Qing.

“I heard that you’re the boss of this cafe?” The man in slicked back hairstyle and leather jacket said in a deep voice.

“Get lost,” Leng Qing said indifferently.

The man’s face changed instantly. The surrounding crowd burst into laughter. A hint of anger showed up in his eyes.

Mo Fan went over to them. He glared at the man who attempted to flirt with Leng Qing.

When the man met Mo Fan’s eyes, fell onto the ground in fear. A small packet of white powder fell off from his back pant pockets.

A bulky man came out from the other end of the hall. He glanced at Leng Qing before giving another look at the man in the leather jacket on the ground.

“How dare you visit my bar with this kind of stuff?! Do you have a death wish?!” The next moment, the bulky man dragged the man out of the door.

…

Leng Qing noticed Mo Fan. She gestured for him to sit in the chair next to her.

“You came at the right time,” said Leng Qing.

“A glass of iced Coke, please. I just flew back from Europe. I am almost a dried-up corpse because of the windy weather,” said Mo Fan.

Mo Fan felt refreshed after drinking the iced Coke with lemon slices. It was only then that he noticed that the documents Leng Qing had been reading were related to the Red Demon.

It looked like Leng Qing knew that the Red Demon would make some commotions soon.

“Take a look first. Lingling will come in a while. I need to attend the Enforcement Union’s mission tonight. You and Lingling have to handle the Red Demon’s ascension time carefully,” said Leng Qing.

Mo Fan nodded.

It was obvious to see that more than half of the documents had been placed aside for a very long time. It looked like Old Bao was the one who had been collecting the information. He had been tracking the Red Demon since the beginning.

The remaining documents were the latest updates since Mo Fan practiced his cultivation behind closed-door. Most of the clues were discovered overseas. The doppelganger of the Red Demon was found in a guard hill at Yunnam.

Since Mo Fan desired to take down the Red Demon, he had to study the documents carefully.

After studying the documents once, Mo Fan realized the Red Demon’s main target was the “prisons”. Regardless of whether the prisoners were ordinary people or vicious mages, they seemed to be the Red Demons’ favorite. He always found its presence at those places.

The Red Demon’s usual evil methods were to manipulate their minds, spread the plague, diseases, and naturally, death.

If they did not kill such a monster in time, it would only bring greater harm to the people and the world.

In the dimly lit place, Mo Fan focused on reading the information. He noticed a young lady with black, shoulder length hair sitting next to him.

Mo Fan was aware of his own charm. He knew he stood out like a sore thumb among men. Hence, he knew women liked to flirt around with him, just like how the man tried to flirt with Leng Qing. Even though the dim light had covered up his good looks, he knew the young ladies would be charmed by his aura and would take the initiative to make friends with him.

He felt excited. He also wished to talk to the pretty girl. Perhaps this could even lead to some unforgettable developments. Still, Mo Fan acted innocent by blurting out, “I’m sorry. I’m waiting for someone.”

His voice was deep. The truth was that men shone best when they learned how to reject certain things.

“Do you have a few screws loose in your head?” said a silvery and melodious voice. The young lady blinked while staring at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan turned to her, and his jaw dropped.

How did “Lolita” with double ponytails whom he had been waiting for become as gorgeous as a celebrity overnight?

She looked simply stunning.

“Lingling, did you come for a beauty pageant contest?” Mo Fan finally closed his mouth feeling self-conscious.

As he was speaking, he reached out and flicked Lingling’s earring. He pinched her cheeks. She was draped in a simple, lace scarf.

“I’m an adult now! I’m studying in college.” Lingling slapped Mo Fan’s hand away.

“Did you skip a grade?”

“Yes. It’s pointless for me to study in high school, so I skipped a grade,” said Lingling.

Mo Fan looked at her carefully. He felt complicated. He did not know how to put it in words.

Lingling looked good. In fact, if he were to compare her with Apas, both had their own unique beauty. Even though he had not met Lingling for more than a year, her transformation was truly shocking.

If he had to describe her in words, he would say he felt relieved to see her growing into a beautiful young lady, just as a father would for his daughter. However, he hoped she would never grow up. He wished she would still be the same cute and childish young girl with pink cheeks. The same young girl who drank milk tea and spoke like an adult.
