hunt and eat

"Then it's a deal, first sign up and then go back with Taotao to face the anger of her family."

Xiaomi was still as calm as ever, and arranged things in a few clicks.

After experiencing Paley's disaster, she has grown too much.

There is a lot less innocence, and more strength and faith.

This girl, who seems a bit stubborn most of the time, always firmly believes that one day, she will also become an absolute strong enough to protect everything like President Cassius and Brother Guta.

However, three hours later, something happened that completely disrupted Xiaomi's rock-solid state of mind.

Even everyone in the [Four Leaf Clover] team couldn't hold back at all.

……

"The newly formed team... [Clover], found it."

"Then, in order to confirm that it's me, let's check... your names?"

"Millison."

"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

At the selection registration office, Xiaomi, who was dictating team information to the registration staff, was interrupted by Yamanashi behind him with a sharp wave before he could finish speaking.

"What's wrong?" Xiaomi turned his head in confusion.

At this time, Yamanashi's expression had become very exaggerated, full of shock and bewilderment.

"I have a question." Yamanashi raised his hand hesitantly, his voice quietly lowered a few degrees.

"Who's Millicent?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, amid Yamanashi's terrified expression, Xiaomi pointed her pale fingers at herself little by little.

"I."

!!!

This time, the number of people with question marks and exclamation marks on their heads rose to three.

Xiaomi, or Millicent, tilted his head, looked at the three teammates whose colors changed at the same time, and asked a little embarrassedly for the first time: "Didn't I tell you my name?"

A Bao, Shan Li and Tao Tao twisted their heads into rattles at the same time.

"Didn't we receive training in Pare? From the first day we met you, everyone called you Xiaomi, and we always thought that was your name."

As Bao talked, he vaguely realized where the problem was.

"I said you guys, if you have any problems, you can solve them yourself after registering the information. I didn't see that there is still such a long queue behind."]

A staff member with a serious face knocked on the table to remind him.

"Oh, sorry...let's move on."

"The names of the remaining three people?"

"Polaroid." "Futao." "Yamanashi."

The three spoke almost simultaneously.

"..."

???

As soon as the words were finished, Yamanashi, who had doubts on her face, turned her head back and forth between Abao and Taotao, who were on the left and right, and question marks sprung up above her head like mushrooms after rain.

"I think using a nickname will make everyone feel closer..." Ah Bao blushed and said as thinly as a mosquito.

"Fu Tao is too difficult to write, so I wrote Tao Tao when I first registered." Tao Tao put her hands on her hips, with a confident look.

"For a long time, am I the only one who uses my real name?"

Covering his face with his hands, Yamanashi knelt down depressed.

For some reason, at this moment, she felt inexplicably out of place.

……

"Keep this voucher, come here tomorrow...no, the day after tomorrow, when we will conduct the first round of selection. Don't worry, I read your information, although you are all newcomers, you all have potential , is the talent that your Excellencies like."

Millicent, who was a little dull, accepted the wooden sign handed over by the staff who had calmed down a lot, and quickly left the still crowded scene under the push of the teammates who started chattering.

"You guys are not kind. For a long time, I was the only one who used my real name!"

"Are we really teammates?"

On the way back, Yamanashi gripped three sullen-looking teammates with great grief and indignation, and complained for a while.

"Ahem, well, thanks to this registration, otherwise I don't know how long it will take for us to discover this problem."

"By the way, Taotao, do you need to do some psychological training? I can see that your calf has been shaking."

Millicent coughed, and then very naturally changed the topic to the matter of accompanying Fu Tao to meet her parents.

"I, how about tomorrow we..."

"Avoiding is not the solution to problems."

Millicent held down Fu Tao who was stiff all over and almost had the same hands and feet, and said word by word:

"We will be with you, so go and say sorry to your family honestly."

Taotao, who has always been stubborn, responded as small as a mosquito.

……

half an hour later

Seeing his own hotel gradually appearing at the end of the road, Tao Tao's chest heaved violently, took a deep breath, then turned around without hesitation, Sa Yazi was about to run away.

Sure enough, she was still afraid...

"Where are you going? Come back to me!"

A lingering female voice came from under the curtain of the hotel.

Fu Tao's body froze on the spot.

Several people looked along the source of the sound, and saw that as the green cloth curtain at the door was pulled open, a dragon woman with three red marks on her forehead on her left side and hair tied on both sides of her cheeks was about to He walked out slowly with a calm face.

"sister……"

Yamanashi quietly glanced at Fu Tao next to her.

This silly child who was fearless before, was almost shaking like chaff at this moment, his upper and lower jaws and teeth were shaking all the time.

Is it so exaggerated?

But soon, a more exaggerated scene happened.

As a taller mature dragon woman with hair tied to the ground walked out from the corner of the street behind everyone, Fu Tao's expression turned from fear to panic, and she fell to the ground with a plop.

WTF? !

Now, not to mention Yamanashi, even Millicent and Paulette, who had always been mature, were a little surprised.

"mom?!"

……

Chapter 3 The So-Called Power and the Snake Shadow

"When you just came back, someone notified me...I made a bet with Fu Ling to see if you would wait a few days to see us again."

"Hmph, I'm surprisingly sensible."

Holding a uniquely shaped incense burner in one hand, the dragon woman looked down at the huddled talisman, with a cold arc on the corner of her mouth.

"Go in, don't be ashamed outside."

"Yes!"

Fu Tao responded obediently, and then pulled a group of shields... Oh no, it was my dearest teammate, and hurriedly slipped into the hotel.

The hostess of the Green Leaf Hotel, and also the mother of the sisters Fu Ling and Fu Tao, the former Sequence 9 of the ancient dragon group—[Sen Fu] Fu Nian, looked at the little daughter who was so obedient that she was almost obsequious, her face Full of half-smiley expressions.

"Mom, what..."

Fu Tao, who was half kneeling, got up from the ground and was about to say something when she heard a leisurely female voice from above her head.

"Did I wake you up, Taotao?"

Pursing her mouth, Fu Tao immediately knelt down again dejectedly, with a dejected look of resignation.

With a cold smile, Fu Nian's attention gradually turned to the three boys and girls standing stiffly behind Fu Tao.

"Although you are an out-and-out rotten person, the teammates you found are unexpectedly reliable."

Millicent, Bola, and Yamanashi smiled awkwardly, but their whole bodies remained tense.

The pressure on Fu Tao's mother was so great that they couldn't even say anything to ease the atmosphere for a while.

Of course, this may have been done on purpose by the other party.

"I just want to be a great hunter who explores the unknown like my father and my brother."

"What's wrong with me?"

Fu Tao grumbled a little unwillingly.

Before Fu Nian could speak, Fu Ling beside him took the lead in igniting the fire.

"You don't understand what it means to be a hunter at all, and you're not mentally prepared... A guy like you still wants to go to the New World? Do you want to die?!"

"You are always like this, talking to yourself, just like that idiot Fu Wang..."

"You are not allowed to insult brother! He is the greatest researcher and hunter in the world!"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Fu Tao also suddenly showed courage, and stood up abruptly and glared at Fu Ling in front of him.

"enough!"

Seeing the quarrel between the sisters intensified, Fu Nian, who was sitting in the center, let out a cold snort, and instantly released an incomparably huge aura, which made everyone present feel cold.

Combining aura with emotion, in order to suppress the opponent's resistance, this is a special skill that only truly powerful hunters can use.

Millicent, who had a general understanding of this information, realized it immediately, and then looked at Fu Tao's mother with some seriousness.

Will she be offended if I ask her to learn these skills?

The girl thought silently in her heart.

"Although Fu Wang has indeed done some wrong things in the past, he is a family member and your elder brother after all. Those words should not come out of your mouth, Fu Ling."

Hearing her mother's serious reprimand, Fu Ling pursed her mouth hard, and slowly lowered her head, not sure if she really listened.

Our family is really more stubborn than the other.

I don't know who is genetic...

Holding his forehead with a headache, Fu Nian turned his head and looked at Fu Tao, who was a little anxious.

"Do you know where you are going wrong?"

For a long time, Fu Tao lowered her head and said falteringly: "You shouldn't have left home without authorization."

"wrong."

A slender palm slowly covered the girl's weak pink hair.

Fu Tao raised her head in surprise, looked at her mother whose expression turned slightly warmer, and hesitated to speak.

"The real mistake you made was that you didn't trust your family."

"You don't believe Fu Ling's worries about you, and you don't believe that we will support your wishes... You are just like a cowardly mouse who has got into the horns, trying to dig a hole to escape if things don't go your way."

"As everyone knows, your timidity is the main reason why we are still unwilling to let you act alone."

It was the first time Taotao heard such gentle words from her mother, she seriously thought about the meaning of the words, and then, like her sister Fu Ling, she lowered her head in shame.

Is this... all right?

Sensing that someone was elbowing him from behind, Borrette turned his head slightly, and immediately saw Yamanashi winking.
