Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 161 Bringing Puff Back to the Village

"Ah, you little guy, you know how to act like a spoiled child."

"Hey~"

Lakeside.

Lin Lin sat on a piece of bluestone, holding little Puff in his arms, and sighed helplessly.

The downside of being able to hear the monster's inner voice was that after hearing the poor little creature begging for shelter and protection, coupled with its extremely alluring appearance, Lin Lin ultimately couldn't resist and was captured by the little creature.

There's nothing I can do about it. Who made him so kind?

After once again condemning himself for interfering with the balance of the natural ecology, Lin Lin shook his head, reached out and picked up a sashimi fish he had just caught, and shook it in front of Little Puff's eyes twice.

"Just two more whimpers and I'll give it to you..."

So the little Puff whimpered twice again, and rubbed Lin Lin's torso hard, rubbing a small pile of fine bubbles directly on Lin Lin's body.

It's strange to say, as a flame fox dragon, Lin Lin had seen before that the bubbles of its snot when it snored could produce sparks, but when it rubbed itself on the body, it only produced a bunch of fine bubbles, and there was no sign of it catching fire.

Logically speaking, the "pure white synovial fluid" secreted by the Flame Fox Dragon should be a very flammable oil. It's okay for it to rub it like this now. I wonder if it is intentionally controlling it, or because it is too young now and the concentration of the synovial fluid is not high?

"Mm, that's great! Let's eat!"

In the original world, foxes always whimper when they act coquettishly. The Bubble Fox Dragon, which has many fox characteristics, just happened to inherit this nature. As a rare species of Bubble Fox Dragon, the Flame Fox Dragon is no less capable in acting coquettishly.

On the sand beside him, Tiao Tiao cast a slightly resentful look at Lin Lin.

The bear before was fine, after all, it came first and was not easy to deal with. But now when it came out hunting, a cub it met out of nowhere could actually get the favor of the leader, it couldn't help but feel jealous.

Just because it is an adult, not a cub?
Lin Lin coughed dryly, picked out a big and greedy tuna from the fish basket next to him, and stuffed it into Tiao Tiao's mouth.

Those who have a harem know that they have to treat everyone equally. If they favor one over the other, the harem will sooner or later get into trouble, and they cannot be too obviously partial.

Tiao Tiao swallowed the big fish in one gulp, and his mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful. He happily nudged Lin Lin with his head.

Lin Lin: ...

Tiaotiao has a great personality, but his race is a bit of a disadvantage. The Yellow Speed Dragon is neither majestic nor agile. Compared with popular monsters like the Bubble Fox Dragon, Thunder Wolf Dragon, and Sky Comet Dragon, he seems too down-to-earth...

With a sigh in his heart, Lin Lin glanced at the fish basket and called out to the date palm in front of him who was holding the lifting rod and staring at the water surface intently:
"Alright, enough dates! We've caught enough to eat now. It's getting late, so we should go back to the village!"

"Boss, wait a minute, meow! I have a feeling he's about to take the bait, meow!"

……

Yanhuo Village.

When Tiaotiao returned from the village entrance carrying a large and small bag of things, he attracted...

Well, it attracted the attention of the lady selling umbrellas at the door, who warmly asked Lin Lin if he wanted to buy an umbrella.

Lin Lin took a look and found that the umbrella was indeed made very delicately and the pattern on the umbrella was also beautiful, but the problem was, as a hunter who had to go through wind and rain, what was the point of buying an umbrella?
After tightening the package on his chest to ensure that little Puff would not fall, Lin Lin did not care about the little guy's curious head sticking out to look around, and strode towards his residence in Yanhuo Village.

He threw the materials into the storage box and only took out the Kappa Frog's disc-strengthening bone to use as proof when he went to the meeting house to settle the task later.

Lin Lin found a wooden basin with the largest diameter and filled it with water. Then he untied the bag on his chest and put Little Puff down.

"The conditions are limited, so I have to put you in a difficult position for the time being."

Little Puff is now less than half a meter long. Although she cannot swim freely in this basin of water, she can still stretch her body.

It swam slowly in the basin twice, then raised its head and looked at Lin Lin.

"Well, there's a river nearby, but I can't let you stay there until I talk to the village chief."

Little Puff blinked its eyes. Although it didn't understand what Lin Lin said, it seemed that it could only live in this house for the time being?
When Little Puff's body was almost soaked, she jumped out of the basin, twisted her body and slid twice on the ground, leaving a very conspicuous wet mark and a series of bubbles.

Lin Lin: ...

Forget it, I'll clean up the floor when I get back...

……

A gathering place filled with cherry blossoms.

Lin Lin walked in and looked around. Not only did he not see the fat figure of Sui Fengmin, he didn't even see the ghost frog cub under his seat.

Fortunately, Lin Lin saw Shui Yun at a glance and walked over with big strides.

Shui Yun also saw Lin Lin and bowed slightly as a greeting.

"Lin Lin, you're back?"

Lin Lin took out the disc-shaped bone from the Kappa frog's head and handed it over along with his hunter notes.

"Yes, although there were some minor accidents in the middle, but overall it went smoothly."

As he spoke, Lin Lin saw Shui Yun open the task sheet titled "Whale Swallowing Hercules", revealing the commission instructions.

"Master Hotoyo Michiru misunderstood. It's difficult for me to reveal that the monster I'm hunting is a kappa frog... Therefore, I've secretly prepared this request. Please go hunt it."

Lin Lin looked around and saw that President Sui Fengmin was not there. He couldn't help but feel curious. He raised his eyebrows, moved a little closer, and lowered his voice.

"Ahem, what does this commission mean? Can you tell me?"

Shui Yun also looked around, but didn't see Sui Fengmin, so she nodded. Her calm face didn't change at all, but Lin Lin could feel that her tone seemed to have some inexplicable fluctuations.

"You've already met Lord Hotoyo Minoru, and this time you hunted a kappa frog. What are your thoughts?"

"Thinking?"

Lin Lin scratched his chin and thought for a moment.

As for your thoughts, does it count as Little Puff liking to eat fatty fish?
But that was a small puff, and had nothing to do with the Kappa Frog, so Lin Lin shook his head, indicating that his mind was empty.

Shui Yun sighed softly. Most hunters are like this. They are all excited when talking about hunting, but when it comes to other things, their performance is no different from Lin Lin's at this moment.

"Do you think that President Sui Fengmin looks a lot like a kappa frog?"

Lin Lin:?
"what?"

"Yeah, right?"

Shui Yun blinked, "Don't they look like it?"

Lin Lin carefully recalled Sui Fengmin's appearance and the bloated belly of the Kappa frog.

"Hmm... they do look alike."
