When Mo Fan was tearing the young Medusa apart with brute force, the proud creature burst into tears in fear and pain. Mo Fan used her Tears to get rid of the Curse on himself and the others.
Heidi took pity on Zoey, Sofia, and the others. She ended up sharing the Tears with them so they could get rid of the Curse, too.
Mo Fan gave the rest of the tears to Anna, handing them in for the questâs reward pool.
Mo Fan could not have cared less about the reward pool for now. He waited a few days for the undead of the Pyramid of Khafre to finish their first wave of attacks before departing for Gisele.
â
Gisele had three Pyramids; the most powerful among them was the Great Pyramid of Giza.
As a matter of fact, it was normal for the Great Pyramid of Giza to dispatch their undead when the deathlight was around to attack Cairo together with Khafreâs army. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza had suffered great losses during the battle at Beijiang in China. Khufu had surprisingly behaved himself this time. He did not send even a single undead to attack Cairo.
Cairo should have thanked China for sharing the burden of fending off the terrifying undead army on their behalf. Unfortunately, it was unlikely the people would ever learn about it. Not many people in China knew about the battle, let alone the people in Egypt!
Mo Fan was a lot more at ease after taking care of the Curse. However, when he saw Apas sleeping in the ward, he realized that he was about to be placed under enormous pressure.
Since when was it so difficult to protect an innocent little girl? Sometimes, he wished that humans would just go extinct when he realized how twisted mankindâs beliefs and mindsets could be.
Mo Fan shook his head with a wry smile upon having the thought. Why would he think the same way as the Black Vatican?
Both the Black Vatican and the corrupt authorities deserved to go to Hell. If the whole world was so disgusting, he would walk the right path alone!
He did not need anyoneâs worship or respect, nor did he care if most people despised or hated him. He just needed to listen to his own heart as it was cleansed by his own tears!
âBig brother...â a soft voice spoke up.
Her voice immediately dragged Mo Fan out of his thoughts. He put on a smile and patted Apas on the head.
Apas was now bald. Her dark blue hair was eaten away, but it did not necessarily take away her beauty. It actually made her more adorable, together with her delicate and vulnerable look.
âYou are going to be fine soon.â Mo Fan was relieved after seeing that the little girl had recovered so swiftly. His beliefs remained firm, too.
Despite being swallowed alive, tortured by the gastric juice, and overwhelmed by fear and helplessness while waiting for her death, Apasâ eyes did not lose their usual glitter when she woke up. Even Mo Fan could not imagine how much of a torture she had gone through, yet she was still living in hope and great anticipation for the world.
Mo Fan felt like everything was worth it when he saw the little girlâs bright eyes.
âRest here, no one is going to hurt you again,â Mo Fan told her.
âAm I very ugly now?â Apas asked.
Mo Fan chuckled. Were all girls the same? Was that seriously the first thing that crossed their minds after escaping death?
âYouâll be the same again after a week,â Mo Fan promised her.
âCan you visit me before then? I can take care of myself, Iâll eat more food so I can recover as soon as possible...â Apas pleaded like a little kitten.
âIâm leaving the day after tomorrow,â Mo Fan said.
âWhere are you going!?â Apas tried to move around in her bed. She was scared that Mo Fan was going to leave her.
âIâm not leaving Egypt; I have something important to do,â Mo Fan told her calmly.
It was going to decide whether a girl like Apas had the right to live in this world. He had to go!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMm, Iâll wait for you to come back. You promised me you would teach me magic...â Apas nodded sensibly.
âSure, from today on, you are my disciple. Not everyone is worthy to be my disciple. First, you must be as good-looking as I am. Second, you must be as tenacious as a cockroach. Last, you must be good at stirring up trouble...â Mo Fan informed her loftily.
Apas giggled after hearing the requirements. Her laughter lasted for a long time...
â
Fenna was standing outside the room when Mo Fan came out of it, as were Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, and Heidi.
Heidi was staring into Mo Fanâs eyes, making him feel uneasy. He had no idea when he had stepped on the womanâs tail again.
âZhao Manyan accidentally told her about the Gate of the Underworld,â Mu Bai answered Mo Fanâs doubtful face.
âWhat do you mean I accidentally told her? I was having a serious conversation with you, yet you kept raising your brows at me instead of telling me she was behind us. I thought you were interested in my handsome face!â Zhao Manyan protested.
Mo Fan was left speechless.
He did not mind bringing Heidi along when they went to get the Tears of Medusa. They were all pretty good at running away, so their lives were not necessarily in danger.
As for opening the Gate of the Underworld...
They were planning to invade the Great Pyramid of Giza! They were going into the Pyramid!
They had no clue what it was like inside the Pyramid. It was not exaggerating to say they only had a ten percent chance of survival!
âHeidi, you are still young, youâve havenât tasted a man before. Itâs really not worth it for you to follow us to a place crawling with the dead,â Mo Fan advised her.
âWhat are you talking about!? What does it have anything to do with you filthy men!?â Heidi blurted out scornfully.
âWhat I meant was, life is so precious and valuable, you donât have to court death with us. We are already used to it, so itâs easier for us to turn misfortunes into blessings. However, itâs more likely for a rookie like you to die. You wouldnât want to turn into a female mummy either, right? It would be bad if you become a problem for Fenna and her army... after all, a woman with an alluring figure wrapped in bandages is seriously going to be a distraction for the men,â Mo Fan rambled on.
âI donât care what you say, Iâve made up my mind!â Heidi declared.
âHow about this? Iâll give Miss Brianca a call and ask her to take you back to school. Arenât you strange? You kept saying that you didnât like following us around in the beginning, but youâre the one that doesnât want to let go now!â Mo Fan challenged her.
âDonât you dare! Iâll tell Miss Brianca everything. She will most likely go with you all, since sheâs going to be so worried!â Heidi shot back.
âExcuse me... I donât think thereâs a need to argue any further, since we do need someone with the Chaos Element inside the Pyramid,â Fenna interrupted them.
âAh? Is that so? Mu Bai, isnât your third Element the Chaos Element?â Mo Fan asked absently.
Mu Bai looked at Mo Fan like he was an idiot.
âGive me a day, Iâll see if I can break through to the Super Level. I have been thinking of Awakening the Chaos Element, too,â Mo Fan went on shamelessly.
âYou!â Heidi stomped the ground angrily.
