Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 353 Zhao Manyan's Soul is Summoned
The monk is actually an evil spirit, and there's also a girl who's about to appear.

If Lin Lan could see the monk, then the young girl could naturally see him too.

Not long after, a girl with a high ponytail came up the mountain steps.

Her figure was petite and beautiful, and she looked very young. Her fragility and slenderness made her seem pitiful.

The girl saw the monk Narahara Sora as soon as she walked up, and her smile bloomed like a flower.

"Good afternoon, Nara Sora-kun. I picked some flowers, dried them, and brewed them into tea. It tastes delicious!" The girl greeted him and handed the basket in her hand to the monk Nara Sora.

The monk glanced at it only once before looking away, appearing somewhat aloof.

The girl looked disappointed when he left, and only noticed the two of them after the monk had gone far away.

Mo Fan laughed, while Lin Lan remained expressionless.

Because Lin Lan couldn't easily reveal her real name, she couldn't very well say that she was Shen Mingxiao from Mingzhu Academy.

This girl's allure is sinister. It doesn't matter if Mo Fan mentions Zhao Manyan's name; this is Zhao Manyan's opportunity.

"I didn't see you just now." The girl saw Mo Fan smiling at her and had a good first impression, so she politely returned the smile and then gave a slight apology.

Mo Fan tried to communicate with her in International English, but Lin Lan didn't say a word, so he asked, "Lanzi, why aren't you saying anything?"

Lin Lan remained silent, took out a bag of sunflower seeds from her spatial storage and started cracking them open, pretending to be very busy.

Fortunately, Mo Fan has always had a habit of not calling Lin Lan by her full name, otherwise he would have been bewitched.

"..."

Mo Fan was completely bewildered when he saw Lin Lan start cracking sunflower seeds without saying a word.

Are Japanese girls really that unattractive?
“He’s not talkative, don’t worry about him,” Mo Fan said.

"Lanzi, that's a very nice name. What about you? What's your name?" The girl didn't think anything of it; it wasn't strange for a foreigner to have that name.

"My name is Zhao Manyan," Mo Fan said.

Very good, the buff is fully stacked.

Lin Lan ate a few more melon seeds after that.

"That's a nice name too. Since this is your first time here, let me show you around the temple. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Just call me Miyata!" The girl wasn't shy at all and took the initiative to be the tour guide.

"Sure, we're bored anyway."

Why not have a Japanese girl as your tour guide?

Lin Lan didn't move. He showed that he had seen the girl, but that didn't mean he was going to speak or go sightseeing.

"You bastard, what are you doing?"

Mo Fan was walking in another direction with the girl when the temperamental monk suddenly roared in their direction.

Before Mo Fan could react, the monk ran over at an incredibly fast and strange speed, and then grabbed Mo Fan and pulled him towards him.

The monk stared intently at the girl, his gaze sharp and even strange. Mo Fan could even sense magic surging within the young monk.

"This monk's acting is pretty good, and the villains' acting is all Oscar-worthy," Lin Lan murmured from not far away.

"I...I didn't do anything, I just wanted to take him for a walk around the neighborhood and talk to him," the girl said, looking aggrieved, almost crying from the monk's fright.

"Stop pretending." The monk didn't say anything nice, but instead looked Mo Fan up and down again. "You can see her too."

"Why can't I see anything? Can't everyone see everything... Holy crap!" Mo Fa, the muscular man, suddenly realized something and looked down at the girl's feet.

The girl didn't leave a single footprint on the soft soil.

Damn it, did I see a ghost in broad daylight?

……

……

"Holy crap, Lanzi, is this girl a ghost?" Mo Fan exclaimed in terror after the monk's warning. Lin Lan took out a watermelon and said, "Want some watermelon? I just chilled it with ice magic."

"eat!"

……

"It's quite sweet, but I still don't understand what's going on with this girl."

“It’s really very strange. Go back and tell them.”

The two sat below Yan Mingsi, eating melon seeds and talking.

After nightfall, the entire Yanming Temple was so quiet that there wasn't even a sound from the jungle. The seaside city below, with its blooming flowers, seemed completely irrelevant to him. A few dim paper oil lamps flickered faintly on the dark mountain, making it easy to overlook the existence of this place.

Back in the temple, the lights were still on.

A blurry figure loomed inside the house; someone was walking back and forth inside.

"Have you found it?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"No, it seems they really have disappeared," Jiang Yu said.

As soon as the two entered, their eyes immediately turned to them, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Who's missing?" Mo Fan asked immediately.

"We thought you guys had gone missing. We looked for you for ages and were so worried about you," Jiang Yu said.

"We're eating watermelon. By the way, what happened?" Lin Lan asked.

No one spoke in the room, and there was a moment of silence.

Needless to say, Zhao Manyan went to the Fierce Turtle.

A blond-haired person was lying on the tatami mat, covered with a thick quilt.

After lifting the blanket, I saw Zhao Manyan's face.

His skin was pale and bluish-white. Zhao Manyan was the kind of pretty boy, but his skin was the kind that had a lot of color. It had never looked so fair and clean before.

He still exuded a chill.

Mo Fan thought of that girl. He had given the name Zhao Manyan, not Lin Lan, which wasn't her real name... As soon as Zhao Manyan's name was mentioned, something bad happened. Only Miyata was able to explain things clearly.

"Guan Yu was meditating when he suddenly felt cold. After searching for a while, he found that Zhao Manyan's body was cold, as if he had been poisoned by cold. He didn't respond when called and remained in the same state," Nan Jue said.

This happened so strangely that no one saw Zhao Manyan come into contact with anything.

The sudden turn of events startled everyone. After the incident, everyone immediately gathered together, only to find that Lin Lan and Mo Fan were missing. This caused even more panic. Fortunately, the two had just gone to eat watermelon.

……

Seeing that everyone was helpless and Zhao Manyan was not in any danger, Lin Lan spoke up: "It should be related to the monk and the girl we encountered."

"Monk?"

"Girl?"

Everyone was puzzled. There was indeed a monk named Yan Mingsi, but they had never seen the girl before.

Lin Lan then recounted her encounter with the monk and the young girl...

In short, none of them are normal.

"Then why was Zhao Manyan the one who got infected?" Mu Ningxue asked.

Mo Fan smacked his lips, unsure whether he should say something.

"Go investigate," Lin Lan said, seeing that everyone looked unconvinced.

Rather than believing it was done by a ghost, they are more inclined to believe that someone poisoned the food, otherwise it would be too outrageous.
