Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

"Bingbingzi has already flown to the Gathering Lands and expressed her satisfaction with the icy and snowy landscape there. She also brought along those fun Ice Fish Dragon, Frostwing Gale Dragon, Thunderjaw Dragon, and Paralysis Poison Dragon."

"At first, Xialong and Xiaoshao Rathalos were unwilling, but after satisfying their desires, they were successfully coaxed to the Guiding Lands and are now working together to chase after that strange black wolf bird."

"Poppo refused to go through the portal and chose to swim back with his sea dragon minions, but those little dragon minions were giving me strange looks..."

"It seems that Meimeizi has reached a crucial moment in its transformation into the World-Destroying Meimeizi, but progress is slow. Miss El and I still need to give it a good jolt in front of it to speed things up..."

"The baby Netherworld Dragon has worked tirelessly, clearing the entire Guiding Lands. It's been quite a hard job. Once it's almost done, I'll dig a burrow for it so it can molt. Hmm, dig it deep, give me a secret base too..."

After checking off each item, Chen Yan looked at the notebook filled with writing and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's all in the past... Oh right, how could I forget about my white moonlight!"

Chen Yan ran all the way to the edge of the Ancient Tree Forest. His eyes swept across the entire plain and quickly locked onto the group of dragons of all sizes comfortably feeding in the middle of the grassland.

Unlike the many beautiful women surrounding him, Chen Yan's white moonlight was not attractive at all.

It had neither dazzling scales nor melodious cries; its face was black, its body was dirt-colored, and its skin was a mix of blue and yellow. It was covered with a hard shell on its head and did not stand out at all among the group of dragons.

However, Chen Yan recognized it at a glance, and it sensed it as well, looking up sharply and seeing Chen Yan as well.

Chen Yan laughed, and it barked loudly.

Chen Yan slid down the slope, parting the grass, and the dragon also went against the current in the dragon group. The man and the dragon rushed towards each other, but unfortunately, Chen Yan did not get a warm embrace. Instead, he was hit by a powerful dragon chariot.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're so heartless! You were the first person to ride my dragon!"

Seeing the crested dragon chasing him fiercely behind him, Chen Yan circled around it a few times, and then tripped it when it was off guard. But instead of falling to the ground, it plunged headfirst into the crevice leading to the Demon Gathering Land.

Chen Yan waved goodbye to it.

"Keep it up, the food supply for the Guiding Lands depends on you to multiply!"

His response was an angry roar from a crowned dinosaur.

"As expected, the Demon Gathering Lands are incomplete without my beloved White Moonlight riding them..."

Chen Yan went into the forest again, and soon came out carrying a Flying Thunder Dragon.

"Excuse me, sir, would you be willing to move?"

Flying Thunder Dragon looked at the two taboos standing behind Chen Yan with trepidation, then with a "gurgle," its eyes rolled back and it fainted.

"They're so happy they're practically ecstatic; they must be willing..."

Chen Yan raised his hand and threw it in as well.

"Alright, that's about it. Miss El and Miss Mira, you two can go invisible for a bit. I'll go ask Tianhuilong and Xunmiao if they'd like a new home..."

Chen Yan turned and walked towards the stronghold. As soon as his left foot entered the door, he suddenly felt a chill down his back and realized that danger was approaching. However, after subtly glancing to his left and right, he did not dodge but pretended not to notice and let his ears be twisted.

First, Harley, who was twisting her left ear, angrily questioned her.

"Chen Yan, what's going on? I heard from others that you've submitted an application to the Commander-in-Chief to return to the Old World with the next batch of supplies?"

Then came Naomi's chilling, devilish whisper as she twisted Naomi's right ear.

"You can leave, but first pay back the gold coins you owe me. You and Flower Cat spent a total of 34,127 gold coins on food, drink, and other necessities at the stronghold. With interest and rounding it down, I'll give you 100,000 gold coins back."

Chen Yan cried out in pain, but Harley and Naomi were determined not to let go and dragged him to a corner.

Reaching the corner, the two women delivered a powerful left-right wall slam, completely blocking Chen Yan's path.

Harley remains as outspoken as ever.

"I heard that the most beautiful and domineering lady on the Starship, with an exceptionally round front and an exceptionally perky back, and a head of beautiful blonde hair, is also going to return to the Old World with you on the same ship."

Harley said only half a sentence, then reached out and pinched Chen Yan's soft flesh, turning him around threateningly, before saying the rest of her sentence.

"You're not still harboring feelings for her, are you planning a love chase that will move both the Old and New Worlds?"

Seeing that Chen Yan did not refute, Harley suddenly became anxious. She grabbed Chen Yan's collar and shook him violently.

"Are you stupid? You've traveled thousands of miles to pursue your love without even asking around. She already has someone she likes. It seems to be a handsome young man named Werner. He's a processor for the Star Team, a well-known expert in physics and technology in the Old World, and also the developer of some of the principles behind high-precision weapons."

"Worner has money, looks, and even became one of the first members to explore the Forbidden Lands. You, a nobody on the side of the road, stop daydreaming about those unrealistic things and just look at what's in front of you... cough cough, stay in the New World!"

Harley's words came out like a machine gun, leaving Chen Yan stunned and bewildered.

Which one is Werner from the Forbidden Lands?

When did he decide to travel thousands of miles to pursue his love?

When did it turn into a pile of rubbish on the roadside again?

Also, take a good look at who's in front of you... who is in front of you? It's not you, is it?

Seeing Harley's blushing earlobes and shy, charming appearance, Chen Yan blinked. "No way? No way?"

Naomi, however, remained much calmer.

She first removed Harley's merciless chokehold from Chen Yan, then quickly straightened his collar, smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, and even noticed the redness on Chen Yan's neck, carefully rubbing it for him.

The brooch was being pushed around and wobbled.

Then Chen Yan noticed that her hand hadn't come down; it was still cold and pressed against his neck.

Compared to Harley's directness, the stunning beauty Naomi, who was holding his carotid artery and smiling broadly, was far more frightening.

"Chen Yan, tell me, are you tired of exploring the new world, or have you made enough money in your pocket, or do you dislike me as your boss, or are you really going to put on this ridiculous show of chasing after love from afar?"

As Naomi's tone grew increasingly chilling, Chen Yan felt as if the "New World Guillotine" formed by Naomi's small hands was already hanging over his neck; one wrong answer and today would be his death day.

"Not enough fun! No money in my pocket! I'm Naomi's person in life and in death! I have absolutely nothing to do with the blonde hostess!"

Half of the guillotine has disappeared.

"If you suddenly want to go back to the Old World, you have to give a reason, right?"

Facing the puzzled looks from Harley and Naomi, Chen Yan lowered his head and pondered seriously for a while.

After a long while, he looked up at Harley and Naomi, his eyes sparkling with a joy they couldn't understand, and also filled with deep tenderness and affection.

"A reason... I've finally found my family. Is that reason enough?"

Chapter 266: Long pink hair, alluring lips, light blue eyeshadow, and a mesmerizing gaze.

"family?"

Harley and Naomi turned their heads at the same time to look at the unremarkable bushes behind them.

"Hua Miao, come out!"

Chen Yan glanced over and immediately spotted the black and white balls hiding among them.

He immediately understood. No wonder Harley and Naomi still found out even though he had asked the Commander-in-Chief to keep it a secret. He had initially thought it was the Commander-in-Chief's grandson, the head of the investigation team, who had let it slip, but it turned out that it was "Two-Five Meow" Flower Meow who had done it.

"Hey, Flower Meow, didn't you say Chen Yan was an orphan? Who did he find? Could it be that someone in the Old World found his parents who have been missing for many years?"

Stared at by the three of them, the bushes swayed, oil stains remained around its mouth, and the cat, with gold coins hidden on its body, emerged looking guilty.

It opened its mouth as if to answer, but when it met Chen Yan's ambiguous smile, its tail tightened, its eyes darted around, and it immediately started spouting nonsense.

"It's not that we found his parents, but...but...but Old Wang's cat next door had another litter of kittens!"

"Putting everything else aside, according to seniority, that litter of cow-like kittens should call Chen Yan 'Second Uncle.' I took him back to my cat village to see his nephews and nieces..."

Impatient Harley turned around and kicked the rambling cat away.

"Chen Yan, you're still trying to lie to me! Besides Hua Miao, you don't have any family at all!"

Chen Yan looked at Halle and Naomi.

"Of course I am. Aren't you and Naomi my family?"

Harley was taken aback, then her eyes lit up with ecstasy, and she suddenly became coy.

She started muttering strange things like, "She doesn't look that big, but she's quite greedy," "If Naomi doesn't object, she doesn't object to the two of them being together," and "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are for her, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are for Naomi, and Sunday is shared."

However, Chen Yan's next words struck her like a thunderbolt.

"In my heart, you've always been my younger sister, and Naomi has always been my older sister..."

Harley is distraught; what about her family?

Harley was easily fooled, but Naomi, the Black Market Queen, was not so easily fooled.

She let go of Harley's hand, comforted her for a few moments, and patted her chest confidently, as if making some kind of promise. Only then did Harley cheer up and skip off to chase after the cat.

Naomi watched her walk away, then turned back and looked at Chen Yan intently. Although she didn't speak, her all-encompassing gaze had already expressed all the doubts in her heart.

Unlike Harley, who only knew how to be straightforward, Naomi made a point of going to the Hunter Guild to carefully review Chen Yan's file when she returned to the Old World.

The content is very limited, and can be summarized in a sentence: "Both parents are deceased, owns land and a house".

However, I did hear some rumors.

It is said that the direct niece of the "willful third princess" was so captivated by Chen Yan's beauty that she spared no expense in trying to win his heart.

However, Chen Yan rejected her repeatedly, and even rejected her harshly in front of the Third Princess.

I've met Naomi, the third princess's direct niece, a few times. She's a standard beauty with "long pink hair, charming lips, and dreamy eyes with light blue eyeshadow."

Putting aside her prominent status, her stunning beauty alone was in no way inferior to hers or Harley's, which made her truly curious.

Chen Yan could easily gain immense wealth and beautiful women with a simple gesture, so why did he sell his house and land and abandon everything to come to the New World?

Chen Yan sighed softly as he watched Naomi insist on getting to the bottom of things. He squatted down and traced lines on the gravel with his fingertips.

Although she had never officially participated in hunting monsters, Naomi, with her keen eye, immediately recognized what Chen Yan was drawing.

It includes the "Phantom of the Forest" Chameleon, the "Ancient Dragon Slayer" Nergigante, the "Queen of the Mysterious Kingdom" Pink Rathian, the "Roaring Black Tiger" Tigrex, the "Desert Tyrant" Diablos, and the "Lord of the Torrents" Namielle...

Do you know the elegant beauty of the Phantom Dragon spewing poisonous mist in the forest?

Do you know the majestic and imposing aura of the Ancient Dragon Slayer when its dragon-winged thorns streak across the sky?

Did you know that the Queen of the Mysterious Kingdom, the Sakura Dragon, has scales that are not only pink, but also mixed with white and gold?

"Do you know how terrifying the roaring Black Tiger Dragon is when it's angry, and how loud its roar can be?"

...

Naomi stared blankly at Chen Yan, who was talking incessantly, beaming with excitement, and even starting to unconsciously mimic various monster poses.

Chen Yan didn't look up. He knew how Naomi would react, and he knew that any normal person would be scared away by him.
