"What's wrong?" asked Mofan.
It was Mofan's first time seeing such an expression on the little loli's face. He could not help but feel a little worried.
Ling Ling acted like she did not hear him. She was staring at Nie Dong's soul. The soul was different from the usual dark green and blue, with a hint of crimson. The strange crimson color seemed to have enchanted Ling Ling. She had a crazy grin on her face!
Mofan could not understand why a ten-year-old girl would have such an expression on her face.
In other words, he didn't fully understand the little loli from the very beginning. He didn't understand why she chose to be a Hunter in the Clearsky Hunter Agency instead of studying properly. He didn't understand why she had the title of Hunter Master, which even ordinary Magicians would have a hard time obtaining. He also didn't understand why she had such an old and wise aura under her cute and beautiful appearance …
Ling Ling did not say a word. She did not do anything out of the ordinary after Mofan stored Nie Dong's soul in the Little Loach Pendant. She lowered her head and fell into deep thought. Her expression kept changing, too.
"What's going on? Is there something you can't tell me?" Mofan placed Nie Dong's soul in the Little Loach Pendant and placed his hand on Ling Ling's shoulder.
Ling Ling seemed to be recalling something. Mofan could vaguely see a hint of hatred on her face when she lifted her young, thoughtful face.
"I've been looking for a soul with a different color," Ling Ling said to Mofan sternly.
"Is there anything special about the soul?" asked Mofan.
"My previous partner disappeared because of a dark, blood-colored soul like this," said Ling Ling.
"Your previous partner?" Mofan had a vague impression of it, but he did not know who had mentioned it.
Ling Ling did not speak further. Mofan asked, "Do you want me to show you the soul again?"
"It's fine, I already know the guy is still lurking around. I also know who I can find out more about it," said Ling Ling.
Mofan was utterly confused. He did not ask further when he saw that Ling Ling did not seem like she was going to tell him everything. He would have to ask Old Man Bao to find out the truth.
Mofan paid extra attention to it. Ling Ling was his Hunter partner, after all. The little girl had helped him a lot. Most importantly, she was never interested in the amount of the bounty, so he would keep the commission for himself.
Initially, Mo Fan thought it was just Lingling's personal investment in her family's business, but judging from her strange behavior today, there must be a reason behind it.
After dealing with this matter, it was time to go to Old Bao's place and clarify the situation.
…
Mofan turned around and walked to where Zhao Manyan and Liu Ru were.
To Mofan's surprise, Liu Ru's body, which was covered in wounds a moment ago, showed signs of self-healing. The shallow wounds did not even leave behind scars.
Mofan forced a smile as he looked at her, "Vampires are still humans. Don't mind it too much."
Liu Ru raised her head and looked at Mo Fan. She was barely able to withdraw her fangs. It was hard to tell if she had already accepted the fact that she had become a vampire, or if she had already lost all hope. She let out a hollow laugh and said, "It's enough as long as I can avenge my sister. As for myself, I don't really care."
"Although I want to tell you that the dead actually hope that the living can live on, I feel that what's done is done. What's done is done. My past self is different from my current self. I hope you can treat it with a different mindset," Mofan tried to find some words to comfort her.
In fact, it was pointless to say any kind of chicken soup for the soul at a time like this. You were not the person involved, so you could not understand how she felt.
The smile on Liu Ru's face gradually widened. It was not because Mofan's words touched her heart, but just like what Mofan said, she had already thought about how to live her life from now on. She was going to be a person who could not be called a human.
She stood up and slowly walked toward the long street that stretched to the edge of the dark city.
Mofan looked at her quietly. He did not say anything to make her stay, nor did he act like a saint and make a righteous declaration that he would destroy her if she lost her nature.
Liu Ru's figure gradually turned blurry in the darkness. The path was dark and endless. It was enough time for her to think about her 'new' life. There was nothing he could do to help her.
"You're letting her go just like that?" Zhao Manyan said in a hurry, as if it was a pity.
"What else can I do? I'm more than willing to take her in as a bed warmer …" Mofan said.
"That's true, she didn't want to disturb you when she was still a human, let alone now. Forget it, just let her be. I hope she won't lose her nature in the greed for blood. Even if she does, she should come to us. Who else is going to go to hell if we don't?" The fact that Zhao Manting had said so proved that he was aware of the rumors about the Blood Tribe doing something else when they were drinking the blood of their victims!
Mofan nodded. He agreed with Zhao Manyan's words.
Either way, the dust had finally settled. As for the vampire family that Nie Dong belonged to, it was no longer something Mofan had to worry about.
The Hunter's Union must have already made a show of force. Presumably, they would conduct an investigation in the city and list the people who died mysteriously as the suspects of the vampires. Then, the vampire families lurking in the Magic City would have to avoid the limelight for a while.
Mofan had obtained the fangs he was looking for, and avenged Liu Ru's death. The mission was finally completed. It was time for him to report back to Huo Tuo.
Mofan initially planned to challenge those with a higher ranking with his magic armor, but he had already missed the second challenge week. He could only try again next month.
He could sell the Warrior-level Soul Essence for some money. Together with the money he had earned from the Commander-level corpse, he should be able to buy himself a Contracted Beast.
A Contracted Beast was the only thing that could significantly improve his strength. With a Contracted Beast, he would be able to secure a higher ranking, and have more time to cultivate in the Three Step Tower. It would also allow him to improve his Lightning Nebula and Shadow Nebula.
