Lingling’s face darkened!

Mo Fan quickly explained himself when he saw Lingling was about to explode in anger, “I was just kidding. Let me introduce, her name is Apas…”

“Is she deaf?” Lingling asked.

“She’s not, why do you ask?” Mo Fan looked at Apas.

“Put my cat down!” Lingling repeated.

Apas blinked and stared at the arrogant little girl.

“She likes me, didn’t you notice she isn’t willing to leave my arms?” Apas did not put the cat down, fondling its head.

“She’s trembling in terror!” Lingling corrected her.

Apas opened her mouth in surprise. She observed the little girl who seemed to be a few years younger than her carefully.

Lingling was right that the kitten was not fond of her. It could pick up her scent of a Medusa. It was like a little lamb that did not dare to move in front of a starving wolf, too scared to even run away!

How did the little girl notice something so subtle?

Lingling took the little kitten from Apas and placed her in the backyard.

The little kitten was indeed terrified. It could not even walk properly!

“Ugh…(cough cough!), this is Lingling, my Hunter partner. Speaking of which, the two of you should be around the same age. Be nice to each other,” Mo Fan said awkwardly.

Apas was at most around sixteen years old, but her European genes made her look a lot more mature than Asian girls. Even those at the age of twenty did not have curves like hers.

Mo Fan was thinking about how Lingling did not have any friends around her age while he was on the plane, and decided to introduce Apas to her. He had bet they would soon become good friends, but it seemed like Apas did not leave Lingling with a good first impression!

“I don’t mind as long as she doesn’t get in my way,” Lingling said.

Apas was displeased with Lingling’s attitude, too!

Apas had a naturally attractive demeanor. Even the little kids liked to hang around her. No one had treated her so bluntly after they first met her!

“In the past, I wouldn’t hesitate to give an impolite girl like her to my servants as snacks, ” Apas rolled her eyes. It was difficult to tell if she was talking to Mo Fan, or if she was warning Lingling instead.

Lingling stared at Apas and seemed to notice something unusual about her. She turned to Mo Fan and asked, “What kind of creature is she?”

Lingling’s question took Mo Fan by surprise.

As expected of the daughter of a respectable Hunter, she was unusually sensitive to demon creatures!

Apas’ status was even less obvious than Liu Ru. No one would doubt her identity as a human as long as she did not reveal her unique golden snake eyes, yet Lingling had already deduced she was a demon creature after such a brief encounter!

Mo Fan was utterly impressed by Lingling’s ability to identify demon creatures!

“Ahem!… She’s a Medusa. She’s currently my second Contracted Beast,’ Mo Fan informed her awkwardly.

“Little Flame Belle is cuter,” Lingling calmly judged.

Little Flame Belle, who was taking a nap, came out of the Contract Space on her own as if she had heard Lingling’s compliment.

Apas was quite close to Little Flame Belle. Since Little Flame Belle’s intelligence was still developing, Apas had successfully bribed her with delicious snacks. That being said, Little Flame Belle was starting to lose her bottom line, too. She would befriend anyone that fed her delicious food!

When Little Flame Belle came out of the Contract Space, Lingling, who had not seen Little Flame Belle for a long time subconsciously reached her arms out to hug Little Flame Belle. Meanwhile, Apas, who had been playing with Little Flame Belle a lot lately since she had nothing else to do, was reaching her arms out too.

Little Flame Belle was struck dumb. Both were her beloved sisters that treated her with love and tenderness. They both had their arms out to hug her. Whose arms should she go to?

Luckily, Little Flame Belle was pretty smart, even though her intelligence was still developing. She jumped into Mo Fan’s arms and acted like he was the dearest to her.

Mo Fan was amused by Little Flame Belle’s smart choice, and the tit for tat between Apas and Lingling.

“Let’s go and eat something!” Mo Fan announced, changing the topic. He had not eaten Shanghai’s seafood for a long time. He had struggled to enjoy the food in foreign countries, apart from the pizzas.

“Sure, you better keep me full at all times. Otherwise, I find annoying little girls to be the most delicious,” Apas grinned. Since Mo Fan had already revealed her identity as a Medusa, she no longer had to put on an act in front of Lingling.

“I’m looking for a pair of snakeskin boots, too!” Lingling returned the favor.

Mo Fan was left speechless. Didn’t they always say all the lolis in the world were as close as family? Why were these two being so aggressive toward one another?

—

Mo Fan decisively chose a new crayfish restaurant after Mu Ningxue regrouped with them.

Eating crayfish was like a special ritual for Mo Fan every time he was in Shanghai. It felt like he was finally able to enjoy a pleasant meal at home after all the suffering he went through outside of his homeland.

“I don’t like these red scorpions.” Apas’ face darkened when she saw the huge plate of crayfish.

“These are crayfish, not scorpions!” Mo Fan shelled a crayfish and shoved it into Apas’ mouth without asking permission.

Apas ate the meat reluctantly. Her expression shifted slightly.

The spicy taste was quite good!

“Do it yourself,” Mo Fan smiled. He knew Apas had never tried this delicacy before. China’s cuisine never failed to impress!

“Mo Fan, I’ve asked Huo Tuo to craft you a new magic Armor. Remember to pick it up when it’s done,” Mu Ningxue said.

“For me? What for?” Mo Fan asked.

“Time to change your Black Snake Armor. How can you not have some reliable defensive Equipment?” Mu Ningxue said.

“Oh, I understand!” Mo Fan was overjoyed. His wife was concerned about his safety!

He finally realized why the relationship between him and Mu Ningxue felt a little different lately.

In the past, Mu Ningxue did not really care about him; everything he did was none of her concern. However, not only was she slowly accepting his feelings lately, she even took the initiative to do him some favors…

HAHAHA! The day in which he lay comfortably on the bed waiting for Mu Ningxue to seductively crawl onto him and sit on him like an empress was imminent!
