1255 Hunter Fang Panther Demons (2/2)

”Revenge?”

”Yes, these creatures are vengeful, but they only bully the weak, as they fear the strong. I know you all are strong enough to take the Hunter Fang Panther Demons out, but as soon as they learn how strong you are, they are going to flee into the mountains. It's unlikely that you can search every mountain to hunt and kill them all. It will take years to do so… they will just wait until you leave and lay low for a while, before taking revenge by ambushing the towns in the outskirts and killing more people. You won't have enough people to protect the border, not to mention there are lots of people that will have to put themselves in danger,” Yu Shishi went on.

Mo Fan looked at Yu Shishi and asked curiously, ”You sound like you're familiar with the Hunter Fang Panther Demons?”

”It's my talent,” Yu Shishi replied. The moths were not the only creatures she could relate to. She could understand the traits of demon creatures, too. She had already learned the habits and traits of the Hunter Fang Panther Demons when she was demonstrating her ability to Mo Fan in the mountains.

Mu Ningxue had decided to eliminate the Hunter Fang Panther Demons. It was the right decision to make, but it was extremely difficult to do. It would only result in more trouble if they failed to kill the leader of the Hunter Fang Panther Demons!

”She's right. We have to think twice before taking on an entire horde of demon creatures,” Mu Zhuoyun was once the ruler of a city. He knew being strong was not enough to take out an entire horde. There were many factors they had to take into consideration.

”What plan do you have, then?” Mo Fan asked.

”I'll help you if you promise to help me,” Yu Shishi replied.

”Forget it then. I'll deal with the Hunter Fang Panther Demons myself. I can kill as many as they have. It's not a big deal for me,” Mo Fan said.

”You are too naive. Further northwest is the Silver Skyruler's Nanling Mountains. Even if you killed the Hunter Fang Panther Demons or drove them away, a huge bunch of White Magic Falcons will take over their territories. The place is rich in the Blue-Golden Berry that can sharpen the claws of the White Magic Falcons after they eat it. The White Magic Falcons are very fond of it… you can kill all the Hunter Fang Panther Demons you wish, but the White Magic Falcons will be next. Of course, you can disregard what I just said if you can handle the horde of White Magic Falcons!” Yu Shishi lobbed right back at him.

”Mo Fan, what is she after?” Mu Ningxue asked. What Yu Shishi said made a lot of sense. They had completely neglected the consequences and possibilities of a bigger problem if they just went and took out a horde of demon creatures.

”I'm just asking for a place to stay, to hide from people that harbor evil intentions against me,” Yu Shishi briefly explained. She was well aware of the situation that the people were in. She added, ”If you're willing to take me in, I'll help you take care of the demon creatures. I will not let them enter your territory or Feiniao City.”

”Can you really do that?” Mu Zhuoyun found it hard to believe.

Yu Shishi nodded seriously. She looked at Mu Ningxue and said softly, ”Can I have a quick chat with you?”

Mu Ningxue was confused, but she agreed to it.

Mu Ningxue and Yu Shishi returned not long after. Mo Fan noticed a relieved and pleased look from Yu Shishi.

”Xuexue, did you accept her request? She's good at tricking people,” Mo Fan inquired.

”Mm, I gave her my promise. She told me everything,” Mu Ningxue said.

”...then why did you still accept her request? She's definitely not friendly; she holds a grudge against me too, and she tried to kill me,” Mo Fan said.

”But you still brought her here, didn't you?” Mu Ningxue asked in return.

Mo Fan was left speechless. Indeed, he would not bring her here if he did not trust her.

Was he just pitying Yu Shishi? Or was he seduced by her?

”My master, I'll keep an eye on her for you. Don't you worry, her abilities are special. She might play an important role in your new territory.” Bola's voice suddenly appeared from a dark corner.

Mo Fan glanced around, but did not see where the guy was. He was dumbfounded. Bola was seriously good at hiding himself. He was definitely a qualified watcher in the dark!

As long as Bola was around, if Yu Shishi really tried to do anything stupid, she would suffer an even worse outcome.

Mo Fan was less worried knowing that Bola was around, too.
