Versatile Mage

Mo Fan realized that the monk was the kind that considered evils as deadly foes. He did not purposely hide his emotions, or pretended to be big-hearted and serene like the monks in Mo Fan’s country, who chattered about helping people in distress… Mo Fan found it hard to communicate with him!

“What exactly is the Punishment of the Ocean you mentioned?” asked Mo Fan curiously.

“The sea to the horizon, including the areas you can’t see, are all under the Sacred Turtle’s control. All our living relies on the ocean, how can we disrespect the father of the ocean… asshole, stop leaning against it!” snapped the monk.

“Oh, my bad,” Mo Fan straightened up and signaled the monk to continue.

“I’m done. Anyway, stop touching the Sacred Turtle, and don’t disrespect it. Otherwise, the next time you go out to the sea, you will find yourself in a great disaster, I guarantee it!” said the young monk.

“That’s it? I was looking forward to a sad story. By the way, monk, what is your name?” asked Mo Fan.

“Nara Orisora!” declared the monk, before leaving with a book in his hand.

Mo Fan watched the monk in his long blue robe and white pants leave. However, the monk did not walk far before a teenage girl with a tall ponytail slowly walked up the stairs.

The girl had an adorable face. Even without smiling, she still had two charming dimples.

Her physique was petite, and relatively young compared to Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue. However, her vulnerable and slender appearance made it hard not to have a good impression of her.

The Japanese teenaged girl looked no different than the girls in China. If anything, the young girl’s makeup was lighter, and she had applied an alluring pink lip gloss, unlike the girls from his country, who still had no idea how to apply foundation. It was rare to see girls around her age who could apply make-up so naturally.

The girl walked up the stairs and immediately saw Nara Orisora. The smile on her face blossomed like flowers, fully displaying her youthful charm.

“Orisora-kun, good afternoon! I’ve plucked some flowers; you can dry them and brew some tea. It’s got great taste!” The girl went up and handed the basket she was carrying to Nara Orisora.

Nara Orisora glanced at her, but quickly shifted his gaze away. He quickened his pace and left without paying much attention to the girl.

The teenager looked slightly disappointed after the monk walked away. She finally aware realized Mo Fan was present when the monk left their sight.

Normally, Mo Fan would not simply reveal his perverted nature and temperament. His smile was rather friendly too. The girl had a good impression of him when he saw him smiling back at her. She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t notice you here.”

Mo Fan communicated with her in English, yet the girl was not quite fluent in it. However, she did not have a problem with basic communication.

“Do you like the monk?” Mo Fan was pretty straightforward. He arrived at the conclusion when he saw her disappointment.

“I…” The young girl did not expect that the foreigner would directly read her mind and expose her secret.

“Don’t be shy, just admit it… that being said, are monks in Japan allowed to date someone?” Mo Fan wondered aloud. He was an idiot when it came to geography, and just as clueless about the cultures of different countries, too.

“Let’s not talk about that. Since you’re new here, allow me to bring you around the temple. Oh, forgot to introduce myself… you can call me Miyata!” the young girl volunteered to be Mo Fan’s tour guide.

Mo Fan was feeling bored too. Why would he reject a pretty Japanese teenage girl’s offer to bring him around?

“Hey, what are you doing!?”

Mo Fan was following the girl into another direction when the weird monk Nara Orisora suddenly yelled at them.

Before Mo Fan could react, Nara Orisora ran over quickly and dragged Mo Fan toward him. His eyes were staring at the girl.

His gaze was incredibly sharp with a hint of hostility. Mo Fan even sensed the energy of magic from the young monk!

“I…I didn’t do anything, I’m just bringing him around so he can keep me company!” Tears almost broke out of the girl’s eyes when she replied with a wronged expression.

“Enough with your act!” the monk snapped aggressively. He sternly looked up and down at Mo Fan and said, “You can see her too?”

“Why can’t I see… f**k me!” Mo Fan quickly shifted his focus toward the girl’s feet when he realized something.

Footprints!

The dirt nearby was loose. Both Mo Fan and the monk had left two lines of footprints behind, yet the girl’s shoes tied with little blue ribbons did not leave any footprints. Mo Fan did not believe she was that light!

Mo Fan shuddered in fear! -Holy shit, did I really stumble onto a ghost while the day was still bright? Something isn’t right about this girl!-

“We have some guests staying in the temple, so don’t you dare prey on them. Otherwise, I won’t show any mercy to you, do you understand!” said Nara Orisora, pointing at the girl Miyata.

“I…I…” Tears almost rolled down from Miyata’s eyes. If Mo Fan did not realize that something was not right, he would most likely scold the monk for acting crazily. How could he treat a girl so rashly?

Miyata did not dare to stay any longer. She turned around and ran down the stairs.

Mo Fan quickly followed her, yet he discovered that the stairs leading to the temple were completely empty. There was no way the girl could disappear so quickly, no matter how fast she was. Besides, he was an Advanced Magician!

Similarly, Nara Orisora was quite surprised too. The young monk was also a Magician with fairly impressive cultivation!

“Hey, monk, what’s going on? Was the girl a ghost?” Mo Fan asked.

“Why didn’t you tell me you can see her!?” the monk blamed Mo Fan in return.

“She obviously came here to see you, I think she likes you very much, so I didn’t want to disturb you two. Besides, is it weird that I can see her, too?” asked Mo Fan.

The monk looked at Mo Fan once again and said, “You’re not just a visitor, you’re a Magician… but, even if you’re a Magician, you shouldn’t be able to see her.”

“Can you tell me what she is first?” asked Mo Fan.

The girl looked very alive. If she was a ghost, Mo Fan could have easily identified her through her presence. He was quite experienced with undead, there was no way he would get tricked by a little ghost, right?

“You don’t need to know the details!” snapped the monk.

“Was she trying to hurt me?” asked Mo Fan.

“I don’t know, but even if you can see her, you should avoid any contact with her. She’s not friendly!” advised Nara Orisora.

“What exactly is she? Why is it weird that I can see her? Can’t the others see her too?… hey monk, why are you so impolite, answer my questions, monk, bald donkey!…” Mo Fan was full of questions!
