Houndman had provided Mo Fan with three Commander-level Soul Essences, each of them of high-quality. It was definitely a handsome profit for Mo Fan!
When Mo Fan was thinking of how he should spend the money, Little Flame Belle laid down half-heartedly on Mo Fan's shoulder. She did not seem to be in a good mood.
”What is it?” Mo Fan touched Little Flame Belle's head.
As soon as he touched the little creature's head, he immediately felt a scorching heat.
Even though Little Flame Belle was a Fire Spirit, her temperature was normally within the range of a human's body temperature when she was not showing hostility towards something. It was why Lingling was able to keep hugging her.
Therefore, it was strange to feel a strong heat when he touched her head.
”Is she having a fever?” Mo Fan asked. He realized how stupid he was after asking the question. Would a Fire Spirit even get a fever!?
”Ling~” Little Flame Belle seemed very down, like a kid feeling dizzy from a fever. Mo Fan's heart ached when he saw her gloomy face.
Little Flame Belle had no idea what was happening to her. She was having difficulty controlling the temperature of her flames.
Mo Fan did not dare leave her at home, as there was a chance that the unit he had bought for over ten million would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
------
Mo Fan brought Little Flame Belle to the Clearsky Hunter Agency. As he expected, Lingling had skipped school to research the clues that Jiang Shaojun had left behind.
She immediately told Mo Fan her discoveries when she saw him walking in, ”There are indeed traces of a Totem Beast in Yantai, Lian Xishan didn't lie to us. With the help of the Moon Moth Phoenix's Totem Seal, there's a chance we can find the truth about the Totem Beast there. It would be best if we could find the actual Totem Beast instead!”
”Lingling, we'll discuss it later. Can you tell what's happening to Little Flame Belle?” Mo Fan placed Little Flame Belle who was like a little furnace on the bar.
To his surprise, Little Flame Belle quickly left a scorched mark on the wooden bar. Mo Fan hastily picked her up again. She had almost destroyed Old Bao's precious bar!
”She's very hot!” Even Lingling had to stay a distance away.
”Ling~” Little Flame Belle cried helplessly. She had no idea why she could not control her flames. She felt like a stronger flame would burst out from her body at any second.
It did not feel good. It was bad news if a Fire Spirit could not control her own flames!
”By the way, didn't Little Flame Belle behave like this before?” Lingling asked, recalling something.
”Did she?” Mo Fan could not recall Little Flame Belle having difficulty controlling her flames.
”Back when she was entering the Youth Phase, didn't she keep burning everything around her? You ended up paying lots of money out before,” Lingling reminded him.
”Oh, you're right, but she was just being naughty. I don't think it has anything to do with her condition now, right?” Mo Fan said.
”I believe they are the same thing. Back then, there must be some energy that she was having trouble controlling, so she kept releasing it instead. After all, she was still very young, so she didn't know releasing the fire as she pleased was not right. She is able to control herself now, but the energy inside her body after reaching the Adolescent Phase was just too powerful. She was struggling to control it, resulting in the increase in her temperature,” Lingling said.
”So you're saying that Little Flame Belle is about to evolve?” Mo Fan was overjoyed.
”That's what I think. We estimated that it would take Little Flame Belle three to five years to reach the Adolescent Phase, but I believe the Time Liquid and being reborn with the Ardent Sunset has sped up her growth. She must be advancing into the Adolescent Phase!” Lingling judged confidently.
”HAHAHA, Little Flame Belle, you're about to reach the Adolescent Phase!” Mo Fan was overwhelmed with joy.
Little Flame Belle had been in the Youth Phase for a very long time. Most importantly, she was already as strong as a Commander-level creature while in the Youth Phase. Her strength improved significantly after she was reborn with the Ardent Sunset, too!
The truth was, Mo Fan did feel a little strange that Little Flame Belle's strength had not improved as much as he had expected after she was reborn.
Now that he thought about it, it was not because Little Flame Belle's strength had not improved, but because she was still entering the Adolescent Phase!
The Adolescent Phase would not just improve her strength; even her appearance would change again!
”She changed a little before, so I thought she had already entered the Adolescent Phase,” Mo Fan exclaimed.
