Chapter 1499 Late Effects

Izisha left the Hall of Deities. Her indifferent smile remained in Mo Fan’s mind, further convincing him that leaving Xinxia at the Parthenon Temple was a mistake. How could Xinxia possibly outsmart a woman like her? When people were worshiping her for the power to resurrect the dead and heal the wounded, when they knelt on the stairs before her icy palace, they never thought this monstrous woman was actually devouring them without leaving even their bones behind. Even those that had turned into spirits of the dead were unaware that she was responsible for their deaths!

The Alps Institute and the Parthenon Temple had been archenemies for a long time. Izisha must have felt the same way. She had used Yuria, who was extremely passionate about magic, then manipulated Edith’s strong jealousy to deliver a huge blow to the Alps Institute. She had even established a friendly relationship with the strongest clan in Europe through it, securing great support from a powerful faction!

He kept hearing about how Izisha was a merciless ruler in the past, but now it was his turn to be played like a pawn by her. The thought of it sent chills down his spine, and grew scarier the more he thought about it!

Mo Fan followed a maid to Brianca’s room. He was still wondering if he should tell her the truth.

Mo Fan did not have any proof. As a matter of fact, when the incident involving Yuria took place, Izisha was still lying in her crystal coffin. However, Mo Fan was absolutely sure that she was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes after seeing her here. It was obvious that Izisha knew who Edith was, judging from the reaction when he mentioned her name!

Edith was most likely a pawn that Izisha’s old associates had planted in the Alps Institute. Someone must have spread the news about Yuria’s decision to join the Parthenon Temple on purpose to ruin the school’s reputation.

The only way to prove his speculation was to ask Edith. Izisha would never spill the beans!

“This is Miss Brianca’s hut. Please shake this bell if you want to return to the Hall of Deities. We’ll send a sleigh to pick you up,” the maid said politely.

“Alright,” Mo Fan nodded.

Mo Fan knocked on the door. Brianca gave Mo Fan permission to come inside after asking who it was.

It was extremely cold outside the hut. The howling wind was blowing fiercely, carrying a heavy snow, but it was extremely warm indoors. The fire was burning vigorously in the furnace. The clean and comfortable room was well lit, even when the lights were off.

“What is it? Aren’t you going to take a rest?” Brianca closed the door firmly so it would not squeak in the wind.

“I…I was thinking of visiting Edith,” Mo Fan told her.

His deductions were mainly speculation. He did not know if it was appropriate to tell anyone about them now. It might only heap more anger and worry upon the shoulders of the women of the Alps Institute. The Alps Institute had already fallen out with the Casas. If they took on the Parthenon Temple too, it was likely that the Alps Institute would be forced to keep a low profile across Europe for a decade. It was one of the consequences for opposing formidable factions!

“She is being held in custody. You will have to go through a lot of procedures to get permission to see her in person. After all, only the people of the Holy Judgment Court are allowed to interrogate the prisoners.” Brianca said quickly.

Mo Fan noticed she was behaving a little strangely.

“Is something wrong?” Brianca asked him.

“Nothing, I just don’t understand why she had to place Herr Casa under a Curse. If she really is an extremist who was concerned about the Alps Institute, she should have known the consequences of doing anything to Herr Casa…” Mo Fan tried to hint to Brianca.

“Oh, oh, you must be tired after everything that happened. You don’t have to think about it anymore. It must be very cold outside. I’ve brewed some tea, have some to warm yourself. You should be more worried about yourself. The Rhines won’t forgive you easily!” Brianca went closer to the furnace.

Mo Fan casually looked at the wall. The light of the furnace happened to be reflecting Brianca’s physique. Her slim legs and perfect curves were alluring when the flames swayed constantly.

It was very warm in the room. Brianca had changed into linen pants, perhaps not used to the tightness of jeans yet. The linen pants were clearly her sleepwear when she was outside the school. However, she did not expect anyone to be visiting her at a time like this. She thought Mo Fan had something important to discuss with her, so she forgot to change.

Mo Fan first admired Brianca’s shadow. He then shifted his attention to Brianca’s legs and slowly looked up…

After taking his time admiring the woman’s body, Mo Fan shifted his focus to Brianca’s face. Apart from examining her beauty, he was deeply moved by an old saying from his country: there was always someone better than you out there!

Mo Fan initially thought his cultivation was impressive enough. He had believed not many people could match him, excluding the aged Mages, but if he faced Brianca, he would be wrecked so hard!

Brianca was a Super Mage, and it was likely that all four of her Elements were at the Super Level. Her status in the Alps Institute was just below Ceylan, indicating that she was an expert even among the Super Mages!

Heidi was already a strong opponent for Mo Fan. If he had not had three Soul-grade Flames and the chance to accumulate his energy, he would have struggled to beat her in the duel. Brianca was even crazier; Mo Fan did not even know if he could achieve the Super Level at her age, yet all four of her Elements were already at the Super Level…

When speaking of monsters, Brianca was the real monster among them! Mo Fan was confused why someone so strong would stand so aloof from worldly success?

“I’m sorry, I think I was a little busy with things at school, so I wasn’t able to get a good rest, or maybe the weather was too cold here. I feel a little sick,” Brianca explained when she thought Mo Fan had noticed something, since he kept staring at her.

Mo Fan quickly collected himself. He blurted out in surprise, “You’re sick?”

“Mm, just a little fever. I drank some Eupatorium tea after dinner. I’ll be fine after some rest,” Brianca came over with a cup of tea. She leaned forward and placed it on the table beside Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was immediately greeted by a strong fragrance. He could even see the blush on her face at such a close distance.

“Oh, I guess I won’t disturb you any further then, so you can rest earlier,” Mo Fan was quite surprised that such a strong woman would fall sick. It showed how weak human Mages were!

“It’s fine, I didn’t have the chance to express my gratitude to you. You should drink some tea to warm yourself,” Brianca said at a quicker pace. Her voice sounded a little strange…

Mo Fan looked at the woman and noticed how flushed her face was. Her eyes were like the silver moon, but seemed a little lost. They were not clear like a lake as they normally were. On top of that, she was standing very close to him, and was not breathing steadily.

“Wait, what did you say you drank?” Mo Fan asked, recalling something…

“Eupatorium tea, the same tea I just brewed.” Brianca took a few sips from her cup.

Brianca felt her body getting hotter after taking a few sips of the tea. The hot tea went down her throat and turned into gusts of hot air surging inside her. Not only did she feel light-headed, her heart was pounding heavily whenever she looked at the man in front of her!

Mo Fan was experienced enough to distinguish between a sick woman and a woman under the effects of an aphrodisiac. Brianca did not show any reaction when she first drank the low-quality aphrodisiac at the school. However, the effects of the main ingredients of the drug were still around. Once the Eupatorium herb that lacked efficacy was replenished, it would work as an aphrodisiac, as intended!

-Weren’t these effects a little too delayed!?-

“I…I actually wanted to talk to you about Edith…” Mo Fan quickly changed the topic.

“Let’s not talk about her, things have already happened,” Brianca waved the subject away.

“I’ll go back first if you aren’t feeling well…” Mo Fan had the urge to run away.

The effects had only just started. Brianca might not know what was going on, but she was clearly not stupid. She was going to realize what was going on eventually. She might end up killing him for taking advantage of her, so it was better to run now!

“It’s fine, really, I wanted to talk to you more, too.” Brianca did not let him leave. She clearly was hinting at him to stay.

Mo Fan truly believed he had screwed up this time. Even though he was looking forward to the drug working originally, he knew how serious the consequences could be. He could not afford to go with the flow; his life was at stake!

“We’ll talk tomorrow, when you feel better…” Mo Fan blurted out.

“Do you hate me?” Brianca’s eyes flickered with resentment when she saw Mo Fan was in a hurry to leave. There was no way Brianca would do anything like that normally.

He had overdone it! He was done for!

“No, that’s not it, I just think it’s time for you to get some rest since it’s getting late, so it’s inappropriate for me to disturb you,” Mo Fan said awkwardly. Brianca was standing right in front of him. He could not just knock her aside and leave. He kept saying he had to leave, yet his body was being extremely honest. It was hard to move his feet!

The bodies of men were seriously annoying. Starting at puberty, they were brainwashed with an instinct coming from God, to take every woman down on the ground.

As such, it was extremely difficult for men to resist seduction. It was similar to resisting the urge to drink water. The will needed to resist was beyond anyone’s imagination. Even waking up early in the morning was a great struggle for many people…

Humans had to learn how to control themselves. Otherwise, how different were they from animals? However, it was not just controlling themselves and exerting their will, but rebelling against God, too!

Mo Fan felt like he was about to explode! He would rather kill a few more Red Cardinals than be tortured like this!

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell too?” Brianca asked naively when she saw Mo Fan’s reaction.

Mo Fan felt like his body was crawling with ants. He could easily relieve himself by taking a step forward, yet he had sworn to be a saint. How could… how could he easily submit to his desires… he remembered the door was locked from the inside. Brianca must have shut the door tight to stop the wind from entering the room.

-Huh? Why would I remember such a tiny detail like that?-
