Chapter 127 Jiang Han's Regret, Accepting the Bounty
"Crackling sounds!!" The gray-robed man was paralyzed by the lightning seal and unable to move. Mo Fan decisively rushed towards the man's location.
In an attempt to rescue those paralyzed by Mo Fan's lightning seal, the other two grey-robed figures unleashed two balls of flame at Mo Fan. However, Mo Fan, engulfed in crimson flames, met the two balls of flame head-on, completely unfazed by the attacks of the ordinary fire, thanks to his Rose Flame.
Mo Fan activated the Blood Beast Boots' ability, gathering power in his legs and stomping hard on the paralyzed gray-robed man. A clear sound of bones cracking came from the gray-robed man's chest. He turned around, and crimson flames gathered on his right fist, then blasted it towards the two gray-robed men who were attacking him. The huge fiery fist instantly killed the two gray-robed men.
After dealing with the Black Vatican scum who were lying in ambush, Mo Fan even kindly helped cremate them.
"Wow, this is truly a case of 'the arsonist gets the gold belt,' I really look forward to the next time the Black Vatican's people come to ambush me."
Mo Fan looked at the Star Chart Books found on the bodies of the Black Vatican members. Jiang Han and his companion had found a total of six Star Chart Books and two Star Dust Magic Artifacts from the corpses of the Black Vatican members. If the two hadn't been so ruthless, they probably could have found some money as well.
Jiang Han didn't want the Book of Star Chart and the Stardust Magic Artifact, which ended up benefiting Mo Fan instead.
Mo Fan originally wanted to get it for free, but Jiang Han didn't give him the chance. In the end, Mo Fan owed Jiang Han an extra 500,000. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you have to worry. Since he already owed Jiang Han 20 million, Mo Fan didn't mind owing him another 500,000.
Mo Fan had already decided that if he really couldn't repay the dowry, he would simply not accept it when Jiang Han married Xin Xia.
As soon as Jiang Han returned to the apartment, he saw Ai Tutu sitting on the sofa in her pajamas, holding Xue Ling and watching TV. Without turning her head, Ai Tutu asked, "Jiang Han, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"
"I ran into some trouble on the way," Jiang Han replied casually.
"Trouble? What trouble? Ahhh, Jiang Han, why did you bring other people back?" Ai Tutu screamed on the spot upon seeing Mo Fan behind Jiang Han, startling Mu Nujiao, who was cultivating in the room.
Mu Nujiao opened the door and went to the second-floor staircase, asking downstairs, "Tutu, what happened?"
"Sister Mu, Jiang Han has brought the Great Demon King back," Ai Tutu replied from downstairs.
After Mu Nujiao came downstairs, she looked at Jiang Han and said indifferently, "I remember the roommate agreement said that we couldn't bring other people back. Did you break the contract?"
Although she no longer objects to sharing an apartment with Jiang Han, it doesn't mean she can tolerate him bringing other people back.
Jiang Han said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was rash. Mo Fan has been being targeted by the Black Vatican recently. I accepted a mission to protect his safety, so he needs to stay here for a while. If you don't agree to him staying, I'll take him to live elsewhere."
Jiang Han wanted to slap himself inwardly. He wondered if he had lost his mind to bring Mo Fan back.
"The Black Vatican? He's being targeted by the Black Vatican." Mu Nujiao sized up Mo Fan, the man who had beaten her in the freshman competition.
Ai Tutu became interested and leaned over to ask, "What's going on? How come the Great Demon King has been targeted by the Black Church?"
So Jiang Han gave a brief account of what happened in Bo City, omitting the details of the Earthly Holy Spring. He said that they killed members of the Black Vatican in Bo City, which led to retaliation, and that Mo Fan was the unlucky guy who took the blame for him.
This infuriated Mo Fan, who said unhappily, "You talk as if you're not being targeted by the Black Church."
"What? You've been targeted by the Black Vatican too? Are you alright? Should I contact your family to provide you with protection?" Ai Tutu asked anxiously.
"Remember to let me know if you need any help."
A hint of worry flashed in Mu Nujiao's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Okay, I'll definitely contact you if I need any help," Jiang Han said calmly.
In the end, Mo Fan managed to stay, but he could only stay in the lobby, and the task of washing dishes was handed over to him by the two women.
·······
The basement of a building in Shanghai is the stronghold of the Black Vatican in Shanghai.
A figure clad in black robes knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Lord Qibing, we have just received news that the men sent to ambush Jiang Han are all dead."
"What a bunch of useless people. They couldn't even handle a single student. Let them die if they want." The man in the blue robe sitting high up tapped the stone chair lightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we can't deal with Jiang Han for now, let's put him aside. Yu Ang, go and contact the people lurking in Mingzhu Academy and prepare for the next plan."
"Yes, sir." A black-robed man wearing an iron mask stepped out from the shadows and said respectfully.

The next day, after breakfast, Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Mo Fan went directly to the school to register. After registering, Mo Fan went directly to Dean Xiao to exchange for the qualification to cultivate in the Three Steps Tower. Last night's battle made him realize once again the gap between him and Jiang Han.
After finishing his report, Jiang Han left the school and headed to the Hunter Alliance. He was going to the Hunter Alliance to accept a suitable bounty and go out into the safe barrier for training. He had just broken through to the high-level mage level and hadn't had a proper battle yet. He needed a battle to get used to the power of a high-level mage.
"S-rank bounty mission: reward of the sword bone of a Grand Commander-level Sword Sea Giant Lizard, with a bounty of 8000 million."
"A-level bounty mission: A commander-level Lan Hai Black Dolphin is suspected to have appeared in Xihai Bay. A hunter mage is needed to investigate the situation. The bounty is 1000 million."
"A-level bounty mission: Kill eight War General-level Frostwater Serpents, reward 700 million."
"Rank B bounty mission: Kill 10000 servant-level shallow-water giant crabs. Bounty: 500 million."
"······"
Jiang Han scanned through countless bounty missions and finally settled on an A-level bounty mission, namely the exploration mission for the Lan Hai Black Dolphin. This exploration mission mainly confirmed whether the Commander-level Lan Hai Black Dolphin really existed in Xihai Bay. If it didn't exist, he could earn 1000 million for free. If it did exist, the reward might be even higher.
Xihai Bay was once a famous tourist attraction in Shanghai, with tens of thousands of tourists enjoying sunbathing and other recreational activities on the beach every year. However, in recent years, the influence of sea monsters has continued to expand, and from time to time, monsters have crossed the security perimeter to attack tourists on the beach. Shanghai's top officials have had to shrink the security perimeter to prevent large-scale invasions by sea monsters.
The West Bay has since become a paradise for demons, but this still cannot stop daring fishermen from venturing out of the safety barrier to fish.
Jiang Han approached the Hunter's Information Desk and said calmly, "Hello, I'd like to accept that A-level bounty mission."
Jiang Han pointed to the A-level bounty mission for the Lan Hai Black Dolphin. The female hunter assistant at the information desk glanced at Jiang Han, and to make sure she hadn't misheard, she smiled and said, "Hello, Hunter Mage, are you sure you want to accept that A-level bounty mission?"
"Yes, this is my demon hunter's certificate." Jiang Han said, taking out his demon hunter's certificate from his pocket.
After seeing the demon-hunting certificate in her hand, the female hunter's assistant exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually a demon-hunting master!"
"Greetings, esteemed Demon Hunter Master. I will now accept the A-rank bounty for the Blue Sea Black Pig for you," the female hunter's assistant said respectfully.
After accepting the bounty mission, Jiang Han turned around and left. The female hunter assistant who helped Jiang Han accept the mission stared blankly at Jiang Han's back. No wonder, Jiang Han was not only young and handsome but also powerful. Which woman wouldn't be attracted to him?
"I really hope I can run into him again!" the female hunter's assistant murmured softly.
