MEIWITA Chapter 717: Mo Yan Won’t be Polite

After Lou Mu Yan left the third floor, she probed into the mission jade slip with her mental energy.

Be it an ordinary pupil or a core pupil in the Central Hall, they would receive a mission every once in a while, and they would be rewarded for completing the mission.

But if they failed missions three times in a row, the core pupil would be reduced to an ordinary pupil, while the ordinary pupil would be asked to leave the Central Hall.

Such rules were also understandable. If one wanted to enjoy resources that weren’t available outside at all, one must have the matching qualifications, otherwise the Mercenary Union would not be able to become a peak force, but just a shelter.

“Your mission is related to the Pagodas of Enlightenment.” Mo Yan said lazily while lying on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder.

Lou Mu Yan replied: “Mm, the minimum requirement for my mission is to reach the seventh floor of the five Pagodas of Enlightenment. After that, every time I climb a floor of a Pagoda of Enlightenment, the mission is considered complete and can be stacked.

“But the rewards are also very abundant. If I can climb to the ninth floor, there should be enough contribution points to exchange for the several spiritual items that you fancy.”

There was a faint smile in Mo Yan’s indifferent eyes, and a slight ripple rose in his heart. This woman was always this heart-warming.

“Alright, those several things are very important to me to break into the Unification Realm, so I won’t be polite to you.” Mo Yan’s heart was warm, but he still was extremely tsundere.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him in amusement, “When have you been polite to me?”

Mo Yan had a special place in her heart. Unlike Ming Xiu, Mo Yan was like a relative to her deep in her heart, even more important than the relatives of the Lou Clan.

Ever since she came to this world, Mo Yan had accompanied her the entire time until now.

She would never forget the time when Mo Yan was about to sacrifice himself in order to save her in the Land of Inheritance, with such determination.

Mo Yan’s lips curled up into an arc, “Of course I won’t be polite to you.”

“Have you touched the barrier to Unification Realm?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

She discovered that ever since Mo Yan returned to Guang’ling World, his cultivation base had grown rapidly as if he had been given a stimulant, almost blinding the eyes of those powerhouses.

However, Jun Luo Chen’s cultivation base also increased very quickly, but it still wasn’t as good as Mo Yan’s.

“Almost.” Mo Yan said with a smile: “You don’t have to envy my fast cultivation speed. After all, I used to be a demon king at Intermediate Unification Realm. And if it weren’t for the many pills you supplied, my speed would be about the same as Jun Luo Chen.”

It was impossible for Jun Luo Chen, as a former Devil Lord of the Devil Realm, to have poor talent. His previous cultivation base was even higher than that of Mo Yan’s, but recently he had been cooped in the pendant.

“Of course, it’s thanks to me that you’re so good.” Lou Mu Yan raised her chin, with a look as if to say, ‘you should be grateful’.

Mo Yan stretched out his paw and gave her a light strike on her head, “Look at how smug you are.”

Bing Ji and the other spirit pets had already been sent into the bell’s space. After all, wandering around with several advanced-level spirit pets was too ostentatious and too easy to pull hate.

“Stupid dragon’s still not going back to find Ming Xiu?” Mo Yan asked.

Lou Mu Yan smiled helplessly and said: “Stupid dragon’s hanging onto me not leaving anymore. He said Ming Xiu asked him to protect me.”

“He’s just enjoying it too much and doesn’t want to return and find his Owner right.” Mo Yan also revealed slight helplessness in his eyes.

Although Long Yao appeared handsome and cool, like an adult man, but he still hadn’t yet reached adulthood. After all, the lifespan of the dragon race was very long.

“If he wants to stay, he can stay.” Lou Mu Yan smiled indifferently: “This fellow who cheats food and drinks is still rather reliable in his work.”

“Mm, Stupid dragon’s royal bloodline is very pure, and his talent’s also very strong. He’ll definitely reach the Unification Realm in the future.” Mo Yan said.

Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “Mo Yan, when do you think we should go to the Demon Realm to seize back the throne for you?”

She would never let go of anyone who dared to betray and bully her Mo Yan back then.

There was brilliance in Mo Yan’s deep black eyes. So it turned out this woman had always been thinking about avenging him.

“Our strength is to weak right now. Let’s go after you reach Unification Realm.” His eyes grew cold—it was time to settle the accounts of that year.

He wasn’t interested in regaining his throne anymore, but he wouldn’t let go of any demon cultivators who betrayed and almost killed him.

“Mo Yan, it wasn’t a female demon who betrayed you before was it?” Lou Mu Yan giggled jokingly.

Mo Yan was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eye at her without a good attitude, “You’re overthinking it.”

He had never been tempted by, nor was close to, any female demon cultivators before, so how could he be betrayed.

The only woman he had ever been close to was Lou Mu Yan.

“The person who betrayed me was a very trustworthy subordinate. If I hadn’t been in seclusion and was attacked while I was advancing to the Upper Unification Realm, they wouldn’t have succeeded either.” Mo Yan sounded rather indifferent.

Ever since he met Lou Mu Yan and interacted with the group of spirit pets, he truly realised what companions were—companions who wouldn’t betray each other even under the temptation of the greatest interests.

“Mm, then I have to quickly cultivate, then we’ll go to the Demon Realm to slaughter far and wide.” Lou Mu Yan said with hooked lips.

“Alright!”

While chatting with Mo Yan, Lou Mu Yan rushed towards the designated meeting place.

When she arrived, the other core pupils who were also going to the Pagodas of Enlightenment were already waiting, and they all set their gazes on her.

She smiled helplessly at An Yu Qian and the other two. It wasn’t that she wanted to be special, it was entirely because the Hall Master called her over to assign her mission.

Standing in front of all the pupils was an elderly man in cyan clothes with an amiable expression. He didn’t blame Lou Mu Yan when he saw her. He knew that she was called over by the Hall Master.

“Little Lou girl, you’ve received your mission?”

Lou Mu Yan replied with a smile on her face: “Reporting to Senior, I have already received my mission.”

“Mm, then let’s go.” The cyan-clothed man waved his hand, and a giant golden roc1 at Heaven Elemental Realm landed in front of everyone.

“Follow me up.” The cyan-clothed man got on the giant roc first.

“Yes.” The others followed closely behind.

Lou Mu Yan discovered that the only person leading the team this time was the elderly man in cyan, and there was a total of sixteen pupils including herself who obtained a spot to the Pagodas of Enlightenment.

“This time, each force will sent sixteen pupils into the Pagodas of Enlightenment. If you know several specialisations at the same time, you can try them one by one.”

The cyan-clothed man faced the crowd and continued to say: “But remember, never ‘swallow dates whole2’, only do as much as you’re capable of doing.

“You only have one chance to enter each Pagoda of Enlightenment in your life, so you must persist in comprehending in each pagoda until the moment when the Pagoda of Enlightenment’s spirit automatically sends you out. Don’t be impatient.”

“Pupils obey.”

“The Pagodas of Enlightenment is opened once every century. Each opening is related to the dominant distribution among several secret realms between our several major forces. Do your best. If you return with a good performance, the Union will have its own separate rewards.” The cyan-clothed elderly man thought about it and decided to speak of the stakes.

“Pupils will definitely try our best to win glory for the Mercenary Union.”

“Vice-Hall Master, what was the ranking of our Mercenary Union when the Pagodas of Enlightenment were opened last time?” Xia Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan saw helplessness in the eyes of the cyan-clothed elderly man when looking at Xia Ye Xuan, and she was more certain that Xia Ye Xuan’s background must be related to some superior of the Mercenary Union.

2‘swallow dates whole’ is an idiom specifically used in regard to learning and reading. It’s usually used to tell people that they can’t understand entire articles in one go, therefore they should read slowly and contemplate when reading.
