“I-”
“Keiko! You can accompany Mo Ling to chat, and we will talk to them first.” Jiro immediately called out to his daughter as he pulled his wife into the pavilion.
Shiori Aya glanced at her daughter and nodded to her, for she knew that if Mayumi Keiko didn’t obey her father’s orders, he would definitely punish her.
Mayumi Keiko turned away and headed to another area, and Mo Ling immediately followed her.

After a while, Mayumi Keiko asked him. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
“How about we talk as we climb up? You must have never seen the beauty of Qianling Mountain, have you?” Mo Ling asked back as he walked beside her.
Mayumi Keiko nodded at him. “This is my first time coming here, so I don’t know about the beauty of this mountain, but I’m not in the mood to enjoy its beauty.”
“What put you out of the mood?” Mo Ling asked her again. .
“You.” Mayumi Keiko answered briefly, for she doesn’t like men who try to approach her to deepen their connection with her father.
‘Tch! I heard that she is a friendly and polite woman, but she is cold and rude towards me.’ Mo Ling wondered in his heart, but he still maintained his smile. “I just want to get to know you, so you don’t have to be like this, right?”
Mayumi Keiko immediately stopped walking and turned to him. “I already have a boyfriend, and he doesn’t like it when other guys approach me, so you better stop bothering me.”
“Are you trying to lie to me?” Mo Ling asked with a frown. “I’ve been following the news about you for a long time, and I never heard of you having a boyfriend; even your father also told me that you don’t have one.”
“Do you think I should reveal my private affairs in public? Do you think my fans will accept it?” Mayumi Keiko asked back as she narrowed her eyes. “I haven’t told my father about my boyfriend, but my mother already knows about our relationship, and she has met him too.”
Mo Ling frowned upon hearing that. “Who is your boyfriend? Does he have a status as good as mine? You must know my family’s status, right? Even the government doesn’t dare to interfere in my family’s affairs.”
“Haha.” Mayumi Keiko laughed out loud after hearing that. “I’ve heard that you are a calm and wise man, but it turns out that you are no different from the other young masters in our countries, and you can only rely on your surname to get your wish.”
“You-”
“Do you think I care about your family status? My father might care about it, but I don’t care about your family status.” Mayumi Keiko interrupted Mo Ling fiercely. “My boyfriend’s family may not have a big status like yours, but he is a thousand times better than you.”
Mo Ling’s expression turned ugly after listening to her mockery towards him, and a jet black light engulfed his body; even his eyes turned jet black, causing Mayumi Keiko to take a few steps back.
However, Mayumi Keiko suddenly felt someone touching her back; she then looked back and saw Xiao Hei winking at her. ‘Don’t worry, he can’t see me.’
Mayumi Keiko sighed with relief in her heart, but Mo Ling suddenly stretched out his hand towards her, and a black claw emerged from his hand, shocking her. ‘A demon claw? So he used my father’s experiment too, huh?’
However, Xiao Hei immediately pulled Mayumi Keiko back, and she then grabbed Mo Ling’s black claw and absorbed it, which sent him into shock.
After all, Xiao Hei is the Spirit of Darkness, and demons are also creatures of darkness, so Mo Ling’s demon claw is nothing in front of her.
‘What happened? How did my demon claw suddenly disappear? Moreover, this damn woman didn’t do anything.’ Mo Ling wondered in his heart in shock as he continued to stare at Mayumi Keiko with his jet black eyes.
Xiao Hei smirked slightly after seeing his expression and summoned her pet from within her shadow. Instantly, Taotie appeared before them, and his appearance terrified Mo Ling.
Upon seeing that, Mo Ling fell backwards, and his body trembled violently, especially when he saw the two eyes in Taotie’s armpits. However, he suddenly realized his identity, for he had read stories about him, which frightened him even more. ‘What the hell? How did the beast from the legends appear here all of a sudden?’
Unfortunately, Mo Ling has no Qi in his body, so he can’t see Xiao Hei, and he thinks that Taotie is related to Mayumi Keiko.
Xiao Hei then turned to Mayumi Keiko. “It’s up to you what to do with him; he won’t dare to do anything to you from now on.”
Mayumi Keiko then approached Mo Ling, who was still lying on the ground; she then stomped her right leg between his crotch. “If you dare to tell this matter to others, especially my father, I will ask Taotie to eat you, and he will definitely enjoy your flesh very much! Do you understand?”
“I… I will not tell this matter to anyone.” Mo Ling replied as he stood up; he glanced at Taotie for a moment before running away like a frightened rabbit.
“Hahaha!” Mayumi Keiko laughed with satisfaction at that, and she then turned to Xiao Hei. “Thanks for your help, Sister Hei. And you too, Taotie.”
“No problem.” Xiao Hei answered as she chuckled, and Taotie immediately entered her shadow again. “After all, you are my Master’s woman, so I have to protect you. However, I didn’t expect that a mortal like him had a demon bloodline in his body, and if I’m not mistaken, it was a dog demon.”
“A dog demon?” Mayumi Keiko was surprised to hear that.
Xiao Hei nodded to her. “However, I feel that it is not an ordinary dog demon, and it is several levels above the ordinary one.”
“Honestly, my father works with several demons, such as vampires, werewolves, and several other demons.” Mayumi Keiko answered with a heavy sigh.
“I see.” Xiao Hei nodded in understanding. “After Emperor Long put up the barrier on this planet, this place no longer had any Qi, so I wouldn’t be surprised if these mortals looked for other ways to strengthen themselves, and cooperating with the demons was the easiest way for them.”
“Anyway, I have to go back now, or my father will be suspicious of me, especially since Mo Ling was so frightened by Taotie.” Xiao Hei nodded and entered Tianyi Realm again, and Mayumi Keiko immediately returned to the pavilion.

“Where is my son, Miss Keiko? Why doesn’t he come back with you?” Mo Long directly asked her.
Mayumi Keiko shook her head at him. “While we were out walking earlier, he suddenly didn’t feel well, so he chose to head back first.”
“Hmm?” Mo Long immediately called his son, but his cell phone number was turned off instead, and he immediately ordered his daughter-in-law. “Wei’er, you can return to our residence to check on your husband, and you can take him to the hospital if he is really sick.”
“Yes, Father.” Ye Wei answered and immediately left the pavilion.
Mayumi Keiko immediately sat beside her mother, and Jiro kept glancing at her suspiciously, but she didn’t really care about that.
Shiori Aya then asked her daughter. ‘What really happened? Is Mo Ling really sick?’
‘Hehe!’ Mayumi Keiko chuckled before answering her mother’s question. ‘Mo Ling tried to attack me before, but Sister Hei helped me right away, and he was so scared after seeing Taotie, so he immediately ran away.’
‘What if he tells your father about it later?’ Shiori Aya worriedly asked.
Mayumi Keiko embraced her shoulder. ‘Mother, you don’t need to worry about that; I’m sure he wouldn’t dare tell anyone about it. Even if he did reveal it to the public, I’m sure people won’t believe his words about Taotie, and they will definitely think he’s crazy.’
‘Sigh, I hope so.’ Shiori Aya answered with a low sigh.
Suddenly, a large car arrived in front of the pavilion, and three people got down from it.
Mo Long immediately approached them and hugged the middle-aged man. “Haha! Long time no see, Brother Jiang.”
“We are all too busy with our own business, so we rarely see each other.” Jiang Ming replied as he hugged Mo Long for a moment. He then looked around the pavilion. “Oh? I thought my father-in-law had arrived, but he seems to be arriving late.”
“Old Huang has already contacted me; his flight has been delayed, and he will probably arrive in an hour.” Mo Long then turned to Huang Rong and Jiang Bai. “Let’s go inside; Jiro is already waiting inside. Ma Teng and Old Tang are already on their way here, and they will probably arrive soon.”
After they went inside, Jiang Ming immediately sat in front of Jiro and asked him. “Do you think Mo Xie and Feng Xian’er are true cultivators?”
“Oh? Where did you get information about them?” Jiro asked back in surprise.
Mayumi Keiko and Shiori Aya frowned after they heard that; they couldn’t understand how Jiro and Jiang Ming knew about Chen Li and Feng Xian’er.
However, Jiang Ming’s answer let them know the source. “Yang Lang contacted me three days ago, and he asked for my help to get rid of them, but I refused his request.”
