But Hendrick was not thinking about this. He was thinking about Sitana's village. It was said that the place was extremely rich and even the dogs in the village fed better than humans. This was the influence of Hydra.
Hendrick also thought about how good the Tower of Babel would be if Ming Furo became Ansher's heir, but it was just a thought.
It's already great to have such help from Anser now, and he even wants Ming Furo to become Anser's contracted head in exchange for more resources... Let's not talk about whether it will succeed or not, this behavior itself is already asking for too much and not knowing what's good for you.
If only Ansher could be more tolerant of Ming Furo's willfulness, or if Ming Furo could control her temper... Hendrick would be so grateful that he couldn't be more grateful.
Not long after, he brought Anther to the lounge. He had no intention of talking to Anther about the Tower of Babel anymore. He was very tactful and gave Anther and Hitana some space. He left respectfully after saying "Please feel free to tell me if you have anything" and left.
“Finally finished the circumnavigation!”
Xitana let out a long sigh, threw herself on the soft sofa and rolled twice, then waved to Anser: "Anser, Anser, come and sit for a while, I'm tired."
"You were much more tired last night than you are now." Anser sat down next to Xitana, watching the girl squirming and resting her head on his thighs. "Why are you tired after just a short while?"
"Then, can it be the same?"
Miss Wolf blushed slightly: "It's boring to hang around here and look at those iron lumps. It's so boring."
"So that's fun to do?"
"...Go to hell!" Xitana scratched Anser's belly, nodded her head twice, and whined, "If it's not interesting, why would I let you torment me every day... Pervert."
Anser just smiled and smoothed the girl's hair. He didn't say much, just looked at her gently.
After being stared at like this for a while, Xitana suddenly turned her head, facing Anser's belly, and whispered:
"Anser, I really won't... do anything bad to you?"
Although three days have passed, Ming Fuluo's words still linger in Xitana's mind. The situation in Hydra, the turmoil in the imperial capital, and her own personality... In such a complicated situation, she is really afraid that she will do something that will make her regret for the rest of her life.
"How many times have you asked me this?" Anser laughed. "Are you so unconfident about me?"
"Well, not really... it's just that - you know how out of control I am."
Xitana gently nudged Anser's belly with her head. "Didn't you not expect what I would do when we were in the Red Frost Territory? What if I lose my temper again and do something completely beyond your expectations? What should I do then?"
"If I think about it, I can think of many things that would make me lose control, such as someone secretly sending someone to assassinate you, poison you, and Lina's safety, or spreading rumors about you...ah! I'm so annoyed just thinking about it!"
Anser rubbed the girl's hair vigorously at her naive distress and couldn't help laughing: "I don't think anyone would be so eager to die. Even if there is a plan against me, it must be very thorough. I've told you many times that you don't need to bother yourself like this, Xitana."
"But... okay."
Xitana sighed unwillingly: "I'm so stupid, I'm sorry, Anser."
"But you are strong."
"It's not enough now! If those who want to kill Anser are all level five... then I can't do anything!"
Young Hydra shook his head: "I said, it's still a long time before the end comes, enough time for me to make arrangements and preparations."
He looked at Xitana who was still struggling, and nodded her head with a helpless smile: "You are too deeply affected by Ming Fuluo's words. You care about her so much, and you don't believe me?"
"No, who cares about that piece of iron?" Xitana bit Anser's finger and nibbled it twice, mumbling, "It's because she made it sound so intimidating... By the way, is she coming over later? I have to teach her a lesson, she's such a disrespectful thing!"
"Why are we starting to differentiate between big and small now?"
"Humph! That's what it is."
Miss Wolf puffed out her chest and said, "How is she older than me? At most, she is older than me. She dares to criticize me so self-righteously... I have to teach her a lesson."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a low knock on the door outside the lounge.
"Anser."
A mature voice that was very familiar to both of them came from outside the house. Xitana's eyes lit up, she jumped off the sofa, rubbed her face hard, and put on a very ferocious and dangerous expression, ready to give Ming Furo a severe blow.
Humph, you don’t treat me well in Anser’s house... then I will let you know who is the boss on your turf!
The girl strode towards the door and opened it directly, ready to catch Ming Fuluo off guard:
"Hey, do you know Ansel and others..."
"...Hmm? Where are the people?"
After opening the door, Sitana looked around without seeing anyone, and said in confusion: "Is he crazy? Why did that guy do such a low-level prank?"
"…Ms. Lance."
The voice coming from below made Xitana lower her head subconsciously, and then she saw a very... pretty girl.
Her long blue-gray hair was tied into a high ponytail like the puppet's body. Her delicate and pretty face could be described as adorable, but also had a bit of...the intellectual flavor of a mature woman. Her expressionless face reduced her beauty, but in the eyes of some people, perhaps it made her look even more charming.
Xitana looked at the little girl for a long time, then turned her head to look at Anser who was half covering his mouth: "Anser, why is there a child here?"
"Miss Lance." The little girl said expressionlessly, "I am Mingfuluo Zeger."
"..."
Xitana was stunned for two seconds, then she poked her head out to look left and right in the corridor, then retracted it, squatted down, and said to the little girl in a friendly manner: "Little girl, tell me, where is that dead face who tricked you to knock on the door? I'll give you some candy, okay?"
"…Ms. Lance."
The little girl pushed up her glasses that seemed a little too big on her nose. Her pretty face looked particularly adorable when she made this gesture without any expression. “Can’t you recognize my voice? Or do you want me to repeat what I said to you at the Hydra Mansion three days ago?”
Now, Hitana was really confused.
She squatted in front of the little girl for a while, then moved closer to her and sniffed twice with confusion and suspicion. Then her confusion quickly turned into shock, and shock quickly turned into disbelief:
"You...you really are——"
"This is my body."
Our Miss Mingfuluo Zeger said indifferently: "We have been using puppets to move before. Aren't you very clear about this?"
"..." Xitana silently reached out and poked Ming Furo's soft cheek. Although the latter's eyes twitched, she did not choose to slap it away, but silently let Xitana do it.
"puff--"
"hahahahahahahaha!"
Then, Miss Sitana's wild and breathless laughter echoed in the lounge and the empty corridor.
"An, Anser, hahahaha..."
Xitana squatted beside Ming Furo and stretched out her hand to measure her height. She laughed while trembling, "This guy... Ming Furo, hahahaha, her puppet is so tall, mature, and looks amorous, but she herself... she is such a..."
The girl grabbed the expressionless Ming Fuluo by the back of her collar, stood up, and directly lifted her up from the ground: "That's it... Hahahaha! Little thing!"
With a grin that couldn't stop, Xitana directly lifted Ming Fuluo in front of her: "Hey, um, Ming Fuluo, can I ask you... you made the puppet's body like this-"
The girl gestured at the curve of her chest and the height of her head: "Yes, hahahahahaha...Is it because of inferiority complex, or, or is it some kind of wish?"
"I usually use puppets, not soul control, but simply cover the five senses." Ming Fuluo, who was lifted in the air, looked like a cute big puppet. "So there is no need to consider the adaptability. The bigger puppet can engrave more etheric circuits, that's all."
"Also, could you please put me down?"
"Uh, huh? Oh...ok, ok, poof."
After putting Ming Furo steadily on the ground, Xitana no longer had any resentment in her heart. It was already obvious enough who was older and who was younger, but now... there was no need to compare at all!
That's it? She wanted to raise her head in front of him with just her mouth? Xitana felt that she could ride on Anser while holding her with one hand, letting her watch the show in mid-air, flailing her limbs and having no way to stop it.
Miss Sitana, who is in the majority among the beasts, believes that only those who can maintain the greatest dignity on that soft battlefield are the most dignified people in daily life.
Obviously, Ming Fuluo has no dignity in every aspect.
Compared to Xitana, who was completely in a state of ridicule and extreme joy, Ansher, who was also staring at Ming Furo at this time, also had a genuine smile on his face.
Just out of a little nostalgia.
"Even though they say you probably won't grow up... but you are still changing, Ming Fuluo."
The girl who was put on the ground by Sitana was now facing Ansher.
Her attire was no different from that of the puppet, still a well-fitting white coat and a dark skirt, but her stockings had changed from iron gray to a slightly translucent black, and she was still wearing high heels.
This kind of outfit, which can only be pulled off by a woman with a strong aura and mature temperament, actually does not seem out of place on Ming Furo now.
Because although she is not tall, her figure is actually not thin. Although the key parts of her upper body are indeed a bit exposed, the hip line tightly wrapped by the skirt under the white coat appears very clear, like a fresh peach. Her legs wrapped in black stockings are surprisingly long in this short body. The exaggerated proportions make her legs look very slender. At the same time, her plump and slightly fleshy thighs form a sharp contrast with her slightly petite figure.
This makes Ming Fuluo look like a petite girl at first glance, but upon closer inspection... she is a unique beauty with the unique charm of a mature woman.
Miss Hitana, who had little idea about this, just giggled happily and was still laughing when she walked to sit next to Ansher.
"How are you adapting?" Anser asked.
"……fine."
Ming Fuluo looked down at her palms, curled her fingers and then opened them again: "Maybe my soul has been away from my body for too long... I'm not used to this body. I should be fine after a rest."
"Will you rest well?"
"will not."
Anser laughed happily: "This conversation reminds me of three years ago... It's really nostalgic."
Ming Fuluo remained silent. Since she had chosen to submit to Anser temporarily, she would not do anything to confront Anser again.
"...Anser." After a short silence, Ming Fuluo said, "I have something to tell you."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"Susilun, little princess."
Ming Fuluo said calmly: "Not long ago, she found me and wanted to make a deal with me."
Ansher didn't show any surprise, he just smiled and nodded, motioning her to continue.
"She asked me...whether I wanted to take revenge on the eldest princess."
"Well, you rejected her, and then what?" Without Ming Furo continuing, Ansher said without thinking.
"She..." Ming Fuluo paused, "She offered another condition. She told me that there was another reason behind Grandpa's death."
"...Hmm?" Anser raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what? Ask you to do it or join forces with you to deal with Ivora?"
"Yes."
The petite female scholar lowered her eyes slightly: "At first, I was wondering if you asked her to test me, but I thought... you wouldn't be so bored. It's just that I didn't think of it at the first time, why did she dare to provoke my hatred for Ivora, isn't she afraid of you?"
"She is testing my attitude because Ivora and I have been acting a little...incompatible lately."
Anser, who had kissed the eldest princess passionately in the bedroom, shrugged: "She knew you would tell me about this. Rather than provoking you, it was more like sending a signal to me."
After all, our Princess Susilen played an indispensable role in the Tower of Babel falling into Anther's hands. It is natural for her to want to strike while the iron is hot and establish a good relationship with Anther.
"But Ming Fuluo..." Anser held his chin with one hand and said with interest, "It's okay to only tell me the first half, but I didn't expect you to be so honest about the second half."
"You are my master now." Ming Fuluo's words almost made Xitana, who had just recovered her breath, spit out saliva. "Before that moment comes, I will guarantee my loyalty."
"Hmm...loyalty."
Anser chuckled and shook his head: "Obedience gained through the exchange of interests is not called loyalty. You don't understand the meaning of these two words, Ming Fuluo, just like three years ago."
"But this isn't so bad. It will be very convenient for you to use it."
The devil spoke such vile words, making no effort to hide the fact that he regarded the woman in front of him as a tool.
"As for Su Silun, I haven't agreed to her yet. It depends on your opinion."
Ming Fuluo had no objection to this, and just said calmly: "If it will cause you trouble, then I will refuse."
"No, you don't have to care about me about Ivora. If you want to do it, just do it."
Anser waved his hand casually: "Of course, you have to make sure you do it cleanly. If anything goes wrong, I won't protect you."
"...I know. I won't trouble you."
Ming Furo seemed a little surprised that Ansher agreed so easily without asking her to pay any extra price.
"If I ask you to refuse," Anser looked at Ming Fuluo with a smile, "then what about your grandfather's matter?"
"I will beg you."
The petite woman said this expressionlessly: "If she can do it, there is no reason why you can't do it. As for the price, I will bear it."
"Then don't you think that it's less risky to ask me for help now than to deal with Ivora together with Susilen?"
Anser said with a half-smile: "This is not a reasonable choice, Ming Fuluo."
Ming Fuluo stopped talking. She just lowered her eyes and stared at the ground without saying a word.
"It looks like there's still a long way to go... It doesn't matter, since you've made your choice, you will become what I want you to be."
