Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 46 Lingling
"Qingtian Hunting House is a good hunting house. It's a time-honored brand in Dongdu with a very good reputation. I don't know why they have to recruit people every now and then, and many hunters don't like to go here..." said the female assistant.

Mo Fan stroked his chin and said, "With a good reputation, the requirements must be very high, right?"

"I don't know. We don't disclose all information about private hunting lodges, so if you need to join, we can give you the address and contact information. You can ask for the details." said the female assistant.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan paid a little money and headed towards the given address.

Mo Fan said halfway, "I don't know if his last name is Bao."

Lin Ran said: "Who knows~."

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the Qingtian Hunting Ground.

When the two walked in, they saw that it looked like a teahouse that combined Chinese and English styles, and it was obviously an old shop.

Outside the old shop there is a little girl with long ponytails. The little girl is sitting on a stool, shaking her cute little legs and reading a picture book.

Looking through the glass, there was no one inside, but things looked neatly arranged.

"Do you want a commission? The starting price is 300,000. The price will be discussed depending on the difficulty of the commission. We will not accept commissions below 300,000." The girl said to the two men without raising her head.

Her voice was ethereal and beautiful, ringing like a small bell in summer, but the tone of her voice was hard to accept.

Lin Ran noticed the fruit candy that Mo Fan had just taken out of his trouser pocket. Mo Fan was planning to give it to the girl, but he didn't expect her to ask for three hundred thousand right away, which made Mo Fan a little embarrassed.

“Um…um, we are here to apply for a job. The Hunter Alliance should have notified you. Are you the shopkeeper of this store?” Mo Fan asked.

“Oh? Do you want to be a demon hunter at our Qingtian Hunting Ground?” The little girl looked up at Lin Ran and Mo Fan, and said with a pair of big eyes shining with wisdom: “You look so young, are you qualified for this job?”

Mo Fan opened his mouth wide. The girl in front of him was young, right?
"Lingling, does anyone have a commission?" At this time, an old man's voice came.

"Grandpa, they are here to apply for the job, but they look too young. One of them looks like a gigolo, so we don't want them." The little girl said to the inside of the house, then lowered her head and continued reading.

Lin Ran's face darkened. This little girl had obviously looked at him just now. Although Lingling was difficult to deal with, wasn't she too unpleasant?
"It's good to be young. Young people are not afraid of death. It's just a pity to die without enjoying life." The old man said slowly.

Mo Fan touched his head.

At this moment, suddenly a woman in a hurry stumbled into several shops and then came here.

"Grandpa, there are fat sheep." said the little girl named Lingling.

"How to say?"

"She looked flustered and confused, and her attire was clearly that of a wealthy man's wife."

"Tsk, tsk, this is good."

The conversation between the old and the young is embarrassing.

The woman came to the Qingtian Hunting Ground. The girl took the woman into the hunting ground and asked her to sit down.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran followed in.

The beautiful woman was talking to an old man.

Lingling sat next to Lin Ran, looking at him while listening to what the beautiful woman said.

"Are you a student of Pearl Magic Academy?" the little girl asked.

"Yeah!" Lin Ran nodded.

"You mean, your sick husband might be a demon? He goes to harm people in the middle of the night?" The old man squinted his eyes, seemingly listening to what the beautiful woman said, but his gaze was fixed on the deep ravines in the beautiful woman's face.

"Yes, yes. I didn't believe it at first until I saw blood on his clothes this morning. I used to be a nurse, so I know the difference between animal blood and human blood... I was really scared." The beautiful woman said with a pale face, recalling what happened this morning.

Mo Fan on the side was amazed.

"If your husband is a demon and your entire family has been eaten, how can we allow you to come to us?" the old man said.

“I don’t know, he looked perfectly normal during the day, so I hurried over to your place under the pretext of beauty treatment.

Old man, please save us. I heard that you can deal with any demon here. My child is still at home. I wanted to take my child to my mother's house to hide for a few days, but my husband became ferocious when I mentioned this. Fortunately, I was quick-witted and fooled him. I have to go back tonight, otherwise my child might be in trouble. "The beautiful woman started to cry.

"Have you told the police?" the old man continued.

"No, the police are not capable of solving this problem." The beautiful woman burst into tears.

Lingling looked at the woman and said calmly, "What you said is not enough to prove that your husband is a demon. If you think optimistically, your husband may just be a murderer."

Hearing this, Mo Fan opened his mouth wide. Is this something a little girl can say?

"I'm sorry, although we really want to help you, it's better to call the police in this situation." The old man politely refused.

"But calling the police is useless. How about you ask a demon hunter to protect me? I can pay him right away." The woman said hurriedly at this time.

"But we have found other demon hunters here, and they have all gone to carry out big missions." The old man continued.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment. She had never expected that Qingtian Hunting Agency would refuse to accept the commission. She stood up and said, "How could you...how could you just watch someone die without helping? If anything happens to my family, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

After the woman finished speaking, she ran out in despair.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Mo Fan said, "Why don't you help her? She looks like she needs help."

"Young man, don't judge things by appearances!" the old man tapped his pipe and said.

"Is there any other hidden secret?" Mo Fan asked.

At this time, the old man took out a commission and showed it to Mo Fan.

The agreement was very short, probably to protect him and his child all night, and the date of the commission was tonight. Mo Fan looked at the address, which was the address the beautiful woman had mentioned just now, and it was her home address!!! Mo Fan looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Noticing Mo Fan's expression, the old man said, "This commission was signed by the woman's husband. The situation she described is similar to what happened just now."

Mo Fan raised his head and couldn't help but ask, "So, her husband came earlier and said she was a demon?"

This is really novel.

The old man nodded and said, "This is very interesting. If you can complete this commission, I will let you join the Qingtian Hunting House."

Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and said, "How is it?"

"Okay." Lin Ran nodded.

"We originally planned to let two of us solve it, but you are all rookies, so let a senior lead you." The old man said.

Mo Fan said happily, "Is it someone powerful?" At this time, Lingling said, "It's me."

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment. He didn't have the energy to protect a little girl. Besides, both Lin Ran and he were rookies and had a feeling of being unable to take care of themselves. How could they take care of a little girl?

Noticing Mo Fan's expression, the little girl took out a badge.

“Hunter Master?!” Mo Fan screamed. Hunter Master, this little girl is actually a Hunter Master? This is too scary!
Lin Ran was not too surprised, he knew it anyway.

"Grandpa, he looks stupid, and the other one looks like a gigolo who is likely to do bad things." Lingling said.

"Let's choose them. They seem to be quite capable, and it's difficult to recruit people here, so let them join." said the old man.

The little Loli Lingling closed the book and walked towards the room in the store with some emotion. She really didn’t like Lin Ran and Mo Fan very much, and it was a pity that they died like this while they were still students. Students at this age should study hard, why become monster hunters?
Mo Fan looked at Lin Ran and said, "What a wonderful day."

Lin Ran nodded and said, "It's really strange. The beautiful woman just now didn't even look at me for a few more times. This is very unscientific."

Faced with Lin Ran's shameless words, Mo Fan remained silent.

The old man then said, "Maybe she is a demon."

……

“I’ve looked at your information and you’re all from Bo City. It’s not easy.” The old man said, stroking his beard.

"Well! It's indeed not easy. Some people in Bo City still feel very insecure." Lin Ran said. The Bo City disaster is a lifelong nightmare for some people.

The old man sighed and said, "This little granddaughter is not as smart as the average person. She thinks she is a bit superior. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."

“We won’t.” Mo Fan said.

At this time, the old man continued, "This time the commission is 300,000. As long as you complete the task, it will be divided among the three of you."

“Equally split? That’s good.” Mo Fan said, touching his chin.

The old man continued, "Our Qingtian Hunter is very famous throughout the country. Three hundred thousand orders are the lowest. When you grow up a little bit, you can accept higher commissions. Your brothers now only accept commissions above one million."

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan and saw that they were both a little excited. If he could become a hard worker, then it wouldn’t be long before he could buy a spirit seed!
"Lingling has gone to look for information. You can just rest here for a while. You can treat this place as your home. The attic next to it can be used as a living space... By the way, my last name is Bao, and I am the director of this hunting ground. You can call me Old Man Bao."

Your last name is really Bao!
Mo Fan didn't hesitate, he stood up and started making tea.

At this time, Lin Ran said, "I want one too."

"Damn, you don't have arms or legs?" Mo Fan couldn't help but say.

Lin Ran said bluntly: "What are you talking about?"

After a while, Mo Fan placed the cup in front of Lin Ran and said, "Drink it."

The mission would not start until the evening, so Lin Ran and Mo Fan went back to school first. After all, it was still early.

"I'm going to take a nap and save my energy to deal with the monsters at night." Mo Fan said as soon as he got to school.

"Well, I'll go buy some toothpaste, paper and other things." Lin Ran nodded and said, he was in good spirits now and didn't need to rest at all.

"Then I want an ice cream." Mo Fan waved his hand and left in a carefree manner.

Lin Ran came to the school supermarket and bought some toothpaste, paper and two ice creams and prepared to leave. However, when he was leaving, he saw Ai Tutu standing in front of the wall alone, not knowing what he was doing.

Lin Ran didn't plan to say hello.

At this time, a girl passing by said, "Do you know Ai Tutu? It is said that she is a bad girl. Not long ago, a boy seemed to be cheated on by her, and the boy was the handsome guy Lin Ran from the Light Department."

Lin Ran: “…”

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Ran is so handsome, why do you want to cheat on him?" said another girl.

"Aitutu is so sexy!" said a girl with short hair.

"I heard that Lin Ran is from Bo City. Maybe that's why he cheated on Lin Ran." said a girl with ponytail.

Lin Ran remembered that when Ai Tutu wanted to use him as a shield, he was killed by him. Has the rumor dissipated now?
Lin Ran thought that the rumor had died down, but it seemed to be getting more and more intense. No wonder there were always people slandering Ai Tutu. Lin Ran touched his head, he didn't expect that this casual remark would turn out like this. Ai Tutu was not a ** person, she was just a little naughty and liked to play tricks on people.

Ai Tutu had carefully comforted him before, and now there are rumors like this, he feels a little guilty!

Lin Ran bought an ice cream and walked in front of Ai Tutu.

When Ai Tutu saw Lin Ran, his eyes brightened up for a moment, but dimmed the next second.

She kicked a small stone with her hands behind her back and said, "What's the matter?"

Ai Tutu hung his head and looked like a helpless little pet.

Lin Ran handed the ice cream to Ai Tutu and said, "Sorry, I didn't expect the rumor is still spreading."

Ai Tutu took the ice cream woodenly and didn't eat it. She just looked at the ice cream and said, "It's okay. I was the one who did it first."

Although Ai Tutu said this, his eyes turned red.

Looking at Ai Tutu's appearance, Lin Ran felt that the matter might be more serious than he had imagined, so he said, "I will come forward to explain."

"No, I don't want to trouble you." Ai Tutu said.

Ai Tutu wiped away her tears after she finished speaking.

Lin Ran: “…”

Lin Ran silently reached out and touched Ai Tutu's head. When he comforted Ye Xinxia like this when she was a child, Ye Xinxia would soon stop crying.

Ai Tutu was stunned for a moment, then squeezed into Lin Ran's arms and started crying.

The ice cream stuck to Lin Ran, but he didn't care. The most urgent thing at this time was to stop Ai Tutu from crying.

Lin Ran's entire body stiffened.

So warm... such broad shoulders. Ai Tutu felt that Lin Ran’s body could wrap around her very well, and she felt happy!

Ai Tutu hugged Lin Ran's waist tightly with both hands.
