Chapter 57: Danger! Brushing past the Body

Translator: GravityTales  Editor: GravityTales

Mo Fan felt as though he was burning up with impatience and worry. At this moment, he really wished he had a movement spell so he could quickly arrive at Mingwen Girls Middle School.

Sitting in the slow taxi, he finally arrived at Aunt Mo Qing’s house.

As he dashed into his aunt’s house, Mo Fan almost crashed into a girl in a wheelchair as he turned a corner.

“Brother Mo Fan!” Ye Xinxia smiled sweetly, she was astonished and delighted that he was there.

“Xinxia, you’re okay! You scared the living hell out of me.” When Mo Fan finally saw Ye Xinxia’s smile, his heart immediately calmed down.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why was your phone turned off when I called you?”

“Payment was due, I wasn’t willing to pay.” Ye Xinxia lowered her head as she answered, feeling embarrassed.

“…”

Alright, the girl only wanted to save a little money.

Either way, as long as she was okay, it was good. Mo Fan loosened up.

“Did the Practicals go smoothly?” Ye Xinxia handed a rolled handkerchief to Mo Fan.

Nowadays, girls who carried a handkerchief were far too few. It’s not that Xinxia was immersed in literature, but it was because carrying one would save money.

Mo Fan wiped his sweat as he also smelled the fragrance on the handkerchief. _Hmm, there’s still that alluring body fragrance. The ones I stole before have lost their fragrance…eh, I almost exposed my vulgar actions._

“I heard that there are missing girls from your school?” Mo Fan asked.

“Mhm.” Ye Xinxia urgently nodded several times. “It’s really scary this time, Aunt won’t even let me go to school.”

“Tell me what’s going on.”

“It’s a girl from my next door class, her name is Lin Yun’er. The day she disappeared, I was also in the library, she even told me that she was going back to the dormitory. However, after that, I never saw her again. None of the cameras in school saw her leaving the school, either…” Ye Xinxia said in a low voice.

Seeing her turning pale at recalling this, Mo Fan lightly patted her shoulder.

“In this case, you’re the last person to see her?” Mo Fan asked.

“Yeah, the police have already asked me numerous times, but that is all I know. However…” Ye Xinxia lowered her head.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Fan asked.

“After leaving the library, I smelled something strange. This smell was similar to the rancid odor that is emitted from a certain place in the school cafeteria. However, our library is far from the cafeteria, and at that time, I felt a strange chill. It was like… something was staring at me. I was really scared, so I hurriedly left that place,” Ye Xinxia said.

Mo Fan’s brow creased. Apparently, she had already been extremely close to danger!

“Brother Mo Fan, if I didn’t leave that early…” Ye Xinxia was clearly at a loss.

“Yeah, it’s a good thing that you left early, or else you could possibly have become the missing girl!” Mo Fan was glad inside.

Ye Xinxia shook her head as she used a voice that only she seemed to be able to hear to blame herself, “I reckon that scary thing’s initial objective was me. Since I hurriedly left the place, it turned its attention toward the person next to me, Li Yun’er. I…I should’ve gone to find Lin Yun’er and had her leave the school with me.”

As Mo Fan heard Ye Xinxia blaming herself, he was momentarily speechless.

_This brat, just what is she thinking in her head…_

If she hadn’t left early, then it was possible that there would be two missing people. If the school really had something that shouldn’t be there, then neither of the two girls had the strength to defend themselves.

“How can this be blamed on you? Even if you had told Lin Yun’er, she would have just thought you were too paranoid. Your five senses have always been more sharp than others since you were young; however, you are unable to move freely. Being able to protect yourself is already an impressive matter,” Mo Fan conforted her in a soft voice.

“Brother Mo Fan, do you think Lin Yun’er has already…”

“Most likely… Oh, no. Definitely not. I’m now working for the City Hunter Team, we will solve this problem. How could I let my cute Xinxia stay in such a dangerous school!” Mo Fan said as he clapped his chest.

The words came from Mo Fan’s heart.

With such a thing happening inside the Mingwen Girls Middle School, even if he wasn’t a part of the City Hunter Team, he’d still rush over. Ye Xinxia had already lost something very important to her growing up. No matter what happened, Mo Fan would not allow his wheelchair-bound sister suffer even more things.

She was pure, beautiful, and kind. When he was young, he’d often hide in Ye Xinxia’s home after having fights with other kids from the area because he was scared of his dad’s scolding. Ye Xinxia would carefully clean and wrap his cuts and bruises for him. She even lied to them for his sake…

Ever since then, Mo Fan made a vow to himself that he would definitely take good care of her, and not allow her to suffer anything.

“For the next few days, stay home. Wait until I finish dealing with the perpetrator?…” Mo Fan patted Ye Xinxia’s head.

“Mmm!” Ye Xinxia nodded her head sweetly.

After learning that Mo Fan was a Lightning Mage, Ye Xinxia began to feel safer. Moreover, she could also feel her Brother Fan was becoming stronger and stronger.

He went from a common youth to a Magician, and was now a member of the City Hunter Team! He changed practically every time she saw him! She guessed that during the time she hadn’t seen him, he had done his very best to improve.

“Brother Mo Fan, did you get exposed to the sun when you were in Practicals?”

“Not at all, why do you ask that?”

“You’re so black that I can barely recognize you.”

“…”

——

After leaving his aunt’s home, Mo Fan headed for Mingwen Girls Middle School.

_Shit, a city and a school actually had such a scary thing happening; developing the flowers of this country in this kind of environment. The teachers may be able to endure it, but this uncle won’t!_

_The beautiful girls of Mingwen Girls Middle School, do not be flustered, do not be afraid. Your prince on a black horse has come to rescue you from this chaos!_

_Bang!_

As he kicked the elegant gate of the school open, Mo Fan was feeling ready to enjoy the admiration and attention from thousands of girls in their short, white skirts. Who would’ve thought that as he looked in, the entire campus was completely empty. A few homeless cats on the flowerbed stretched their heads out as they used their disdainful gazes to look at the intruder by the gate; it looked as though they were saying, “Where’d this retard come from, you scared the crap out of this daddy!”

_Oh, ohhh. I forgot this is the summer break, the girls aren’t here._

“En? You got here before me.” Not long after, a woman’s voice came from behind him.

Mo Fan turned around, and discovered it was that extremely arrogant Guo Caitang.

Other than this girl having a plump chest and slender legs, her entire body emitted the temperament of an evil woman.
