When they arrived in Athens, Mo Fan initially thought Brianca was going to interrogate him about what he had done. He might have compromised if she was waving a whip around while doing so, but to his surprise, Brianca did not ask him a single question after hearing about what they had been through from Heidi. Mo Fan was relieved.

It would be quite difficult to explain all the details to Brianca and Heidi. He could not tell them that the ruler of the Kingdom of Undead in his country was actually his Chief Military Instructor, who had demanded he open up the entrance of the Underworld just so he could get revenge, right?

“Mo Fan, you’ve been to Athens before. Are there any attractions we should visit?” Heidi asked.

“There’s a street with jacaranda trees. Not only can you enjoy pleasant scenery that easily outmatches the cherry blossoms in Japan, there are a lot of shops with reputable international brands there. It’s a shopping paradise. After you cross the street with cherry blossoms, you will find a lot of restaurants…” Mo Fan happily informed them.

“Really? Let’s go there after we got off the boat!” Heidi exclaimed excitedly.

Brianca’s eyes were brimming with anticipation. Like many women, they were passionate about shopping. They might live a plain life at the Alps Institute, but they would still go crazy when visiting a famous city!

Heidi had almost gone crazy in the Pyramid. Cairo was at war too. Even when she finally had a chance to rest, she could not relax at all. She was definitely going to enjoy herself in a peaceful city like Athens.

It was Brianca’s first time in Athens, too. She was interested in the street with jacaranda trees that Mo Fan had described.

The two women had already decided their agenda before getting off the yacht. They left on their own and completely forgot about the three men after the boat arrived at the dock.

Heidi suddenly came to a stop.

“Oh, where is Apas? Is she sleeping? Why doesn’t she come with us?” Heidi asked after finally recalling that Apas was on the boat too.

“Oh, I’ll go wake her up,” Mo Fan nodded.

Mo Fan went into the cabin and summoned Apas from the Contract Space. Apas seemed a little sleepy, as if she would never get enough sleep.

She needed more rest after her soul was damaged. She had spent most of her time sleeping. The others assumed she was seasick, so they did not disturb her.

“Heidi and Brianca are asking you to go with them. Go on, but don’t cause any trouble,” Mo Fan said.

“I’m not going,” Apas grunted.

Mo Fan was about to say something when Heidi suddenly came into the room. She saw Apas standing at the door. She went up to her and grabbed her hand, “We have reached Athens. Come with us, you will feel a lot better on land. I saw some duke skirts when I was surfing on the Internet in Cairo. They seemed pretty and comfortable. I happened to find three different colors of them, we can buy one each!”

“Duke skirts?” It was Apas’s first time hearing about them. She was not that knowledgeable about fashion. She knew what skirts were, but she had no idea what a duke skirt looked like. She was intrigued when she saw the excitement on Heidi’s face.

“Come with us, you shouldn’t be sleeping all the time. It’s not ideal for your growth. Let’s go shopping, you will feel much better from the seasickness,” Heidi exclaimed.

Heidi was aware of Apas’ ‘pitiful’ background, so she had been treating her like a sister, and been quite friendly toward her.

Apas seemed to be convinced. She looked at Mo Fan.

“Go on, I’ll pay for you,” Mo Fan waved his hand.

“I…I’ll change my clothes then,” Apas said.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you outside,” Heidi stared at Mo Fan before leaving the cabin.

Apas changed into simpler clothing. She looked at Mo Fan after she came out of the cabin, as if he was a strange yet dangerous person.

“You didn’t tell them what I am?” Apas asked.

“Zhao Manyan might have noticed it, but the others are still clueless. I was thinking about it too, but I believe there’s no need to tell the others. It’s fine the way it is now, so you will still have to call me big brother whenever someone is around,” Mo Fan smiled.

“I won’t appreciate it!” Apas blurted out, and ran after Heidi.

“Don’t just buy anything you want. Your master I am not that rich. Heidi and Brianca are though, so don’t just follow them blindly. By the way, Brianca is a very strong Super Mage. You better not show your snake tail to her,” Mo Fan reminded her.

“I have my own money!” Apas blurted out and left as if she did not want to see Mo Fan again.

Mo Fan was not worried about Apas running away, since she was now bound to the Contract. He only needed to cast a single spell to Summon her back to the Contract Space, regardless of where she was.

However, Mo Fan did wonder what he should do with Apas. It was best not to reveal her identity, as it might bring him some unwanted trouble!

“Healing the soul… I wonder if Xinxia can heal Apas. If she can, I’m going to have another strong helper…” Mo Fan mumbled to himself.

Apas was quite powerful, but because his cultivation was lacking, her power was limited by the Contract. Even if she recovered from her injuries, she would not necessarily be as strong as a Scorpion Lord Medusa. If so, she could easily have broken free from the Contract!

It seemed the Contract Summoning was well-designed. Contracted Beasts would not be able to fight back, even if they were stronger than their master, once they formed the Contract. Unfortunately, it also meant the Contract would suppress the Contracted Beast’s strength by forcing it down to the same level as its master.

Mo Fan was quite pleased regardless. He did not have to worry that Apas was going to turn on him after she recovered from her injuries. It also meant Apas would become stronger once his cultivation improved, so he did not have to help her improve at all. Once he achieved the Super Level, Apas would definitely be stronger than a Scorpion Lord Medusa!

“How should I explain this to Xinxia, then? Apas is so good-looking, but she’s my Contracted Beast, just like Little Flame Belle too. How can I convince her that I’m an honorable Summoner?” Mo Fan could not help but wonder.

Apas looked just like an ordinary girl. Mo Fan had yet to see any features of a snake on her, apart from her eyes.

As a matter of fact, the first Medusa was born human. If Apas had inherited her lineage, it was reasonable that she looked like a human. It was possible that not many knew that the purer the lineage of a Medusa, the more human they seemed!
