Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

"The scent... it's gone...?"

Having already caught the scent emanating from that person, Xi Lan turned around abruptly. Before she could react, the threads that had appeared out of nowhere tightly bound her.

"When the prey's tracks suddenly disappear, the hunter should be careful."

With just a slight effort, Kafka pulled Xilan into her arms, her usual gentle smile on her face.

"Because that is often a sign of a reversal in the hunting relationship."

She appeared before these people with a relaxed tone and absolute confidence.

Next, Kafka simply hugged Yulan affectionately from behind, the binding threads tightening more and more, almost as if to prevent someone from escaping.

Deliberately moving closer, under the watchful eyes of Xing and the others, Kafka simply pressed the lipstick she had just applied onto Xilan's fair face.

"It's been so long, darling."

Chapter 98 Are you going to silence me, sis? (Bounty: 4/21)

"Listen to me, good boy, be quiet."

In the blink of an eye, the silver-white fox, who had been struggling, became like an obedient child and nestled obediently in Kafka's arms.

Xing protested this.

"Those Cloud Cavalry soldiers did not fall into demonic possession, so what did you do to them?"

Tingyun looked at the Cloud Cavalry soldiers who stood loyally before Kafka like guards, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"It's just a few subtle hints to get them to 'listen to me,' Xing, you know that better than anyone."

With a smile in her voice, Kafka pinched the little fox who was now much more 'docile' as she nestled in her arms, under Hoshi's utterly shocked gaze.

"We're still quite a distance from the Temple of the Dead, and it's not the right place to say anything here. Let's meet there and see each other again."

She wrapped one arm around Xi Lan, and waved to the others with her other free hand.

The Cloud Cavalry soldiers around Kafka were clearly prepared for battle, but could only watch as that person, carrying Xilan, gradually disappeared from Xing's sight.

Although he was extremely anxious inside, Hoshiya sensed from his feelings that Kafka wouldn't do anything to Yuran.

But the image of the purple-haired woman's incredibly gentle smile flashed into his mind, sending a chill down his spine for no apparent reason.

According to the usual formula... Kaffa...

...Probably not, right?

-------

Xi Lan, who was under the spell of the words, felt her head starting to spin, and she didn't even know why she was listening to that woman.

She was even held in his arms like a child.

Clearly, clearly I don't want to get close to them anymore...

But why is it that the warmth emanating from her body, her every move, and her voice evoke such a sense of longing?

Do you miss her so much that you want to make her cry, to make her cry like a wronged child in the scent she misses?

Jade Lady....

What should I do?

Her temporarily dazed eyes were simply gazing quietly at Kaffa's profile, lost in thought.

By lowering her head slightly, Kafka naturally saw the little fox in her arms, tears streaming down its face.

"Why are you crying so pitifully, my sweet baby?"

Leaning down slightly, Kafka kissed away the tears streaming from Xi Lan's eyes with an intimate and ambiguous gesture: "Have you been wronged?"

Kafka chuckled, clearly knowing that the source of Xilan's tears was herself.

Although it's somewhat distorted.

But Kafka really liked the way Yuran cried because of her.

It was as if only in this way could she be sure that the little fox still held her in its heart.

However, she doesn't have that much time to explain things to the other party right now, at least not right now.

She was supposed to be arrested by Tabusi, as per the script.

The rest, naturally, is left to Silver Wolf and the others to take good care of the little guy.

The next step, naturally, is to wait until we bring A-Ren back...

"The person has been found?" Silver Wolf's projection appeared here, and seeing Princess Kafka holding Xilan, he subconsciously poked his head out.

Seeing Xi Lan's red eyes, looking like she had been crying, she looked speechlessly at Kafka, who was all smiles: "I knew you would use your word magic to forcibly bring people back."

The spell on Yulan will automatically dissipate after Kafka walks a certain distance away.

"The little fox is too resistant to me, there's nothing I can do."

Kafka just wanted to be close to her for a while, but it was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want Hoshino and the others to ruin it.

"Okay, Sam, take him back. I'll be right back."

Silver Wolf is so small that several of her could fit inside Xi Lan when she grows up.

Uncle Ren isn't here yet, and our boss is currently a cat, so the task of bringing him back can only be left to Sam (Firefly).

In fact, they shouldn't have been here at all.

However, after questioning Elio, they obtained enough information to make their presence known to Yulan.

However, no one expected that Kafka would actually manage to bring the other person back.

Silver Wolf nonchalantly blew bubbles, watching the mecha carry Xi Lan away like a fragile doll. After saying some words of encouragement to Kafka, she left decisively.

When Sam brought the person back to a secluded and temporary place of residence, he was a little reserved as he covered Xilan, who was curled up to one side, with a blanket.

Just like in those years.

"Why..." Xi Lan buried her face in the pillow, her voice sounding muffled, "Why did you bring me back to your side again?"

"Are they going to do what they did when I was a child: take me in and then abandon me?"

Sam didn't dare to speak.

After all, I didn't know how to answer that best.

And all she can do now seems to be tucking the other person in with the blankets.

What should I do next?

After all, she only knew the little fox from when it was young.

Over the years, I've learned about the other person's preferences and so on from Silver Wolf or Kafka.

After a moment of blankness, she hesitated for a little while.

He slowed his pace, and like coaxing a child to sleep, he awkwardly placed his hand on Xi Lan's back, (in his own opinion) gently stroking her.

Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on Xi Lan's back. Just a little bit more, and the words she wanted to say were forcibly suppressed by the other person's action, leaving her groaning under the covers. The fox almost fainted.

Xi Lan: Are you trying to silence me?

-------------

Chapter 99: I didn't know what to title today, so I'll just use a cute cat emoji~

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Xi Lan buried herself completely in the blankets, deciding to avoid looking at Sam's infuriatingly ugly machine face.

Even the stubborn Xi Lan could only endure what could be called a caressing motion without making a sound under the covers.

Let's just say we got by for now.

Sam stared at the bulging blankets, then at his own hands, remaining silent for a moment before quietly lifting the blankets a crack.

Sam leaned down slightly, intending to check if the other person was asleep, but the eerie green light emanating from his helmet met Xi Lan's somewhat frightened gaze.

With lightning speed, Xi Lan grabbed a pillow and smeared it on the other person's face.

Then, quite unexpectedly, the muscular man's voice let out a sharp scream as he saw Xi Lan's shocked gaze.

"Wow!"

"Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?!" Xi Lan held a pillow in her hand, taking deep breaths, seemingly recovering from the shock she had just experienced.

I almost threw the pillow away!

Even its usually docile tail started to bristle when the person pulled back the covers and saw the eerie green light.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

The tall robot in front of her, or perhaps it was just her imagination, seemed to have a somewhat aggrieved look on its face.

His tall figure sat on the other chair, looking somewhat reserved.

"You, you, um... I'll keep quiet?"

The person tilted their head, sitting in the chair with unusually obedient movements, but the horror it brought to Xi Lan was no less than when the blankets were pulled back and she saw those eerie eyes looking at her.

This group of people!

These people! They still treat her like a child!!

Xi Lan angrily shrank back into the blankets once again, this time not even letting the other party see the tip of her tail.

Then, lowering his voice under the covers, he eased the pain in his back from being patted earlier and coughed a few times, grimacing.
