Like a blur, the bunny hopped back into Tian Cai's arms.
"Dada, bathroom."
Tian Cai's face blackened.
"Little Genius, don't keep Big Brother waiting...isn't it your honor to wipe his ass?" snorted Shensheng.
All sorts of veins popped along the surface of Tian Cai's face.
Sniggering, Ling Fan looked away.
Junjie snorted.
"Junjie! How nice of you. Big Brother, Junjie has offered to show you his secret place. He'd be honored if you did your business there," said a highly pleased Shensheng.
With enormous reluctance, Tian Cai followed Junjie.
Ling Fan kept sniggering something awful until her eyes dilated in surprise. Wasn't Junjie leading them to the area outside her chamber window?
Pointing, Ling Fan asked, "Master, Junjie isn't..."
Shensheng snorted, "How did you know that's one of Junjie's favorite spots. The other is near your Father's manor."
No.no.no.noooooooo!
Suddenly, Tian Cai exclaimed, "For such a little guy....Isn't that a mountain!?"
Ling Fan smacked her fist into her palm. "I'll cut them!! Bring me my swords!!!"
Elder Bing hurriedly ran forward with Ling Fan's weapons. "Young Miss, you cutting everybody, perhaps we can have a talk about this?"
"Didn't you just see? Didn't they just cut into my manor? Now they're shitting outside it? Huh!?"
Pop! Crack!
Ice started forming at Ling Fan's feet.
Elder Bing jumped back in pleasant surprise. The Young Miss was unconsciously releasing ice power? Genius!!!
Grabbing her swords, Ling Fan was about to run forward when she heard Tian Cai's voice.
"Mister, who are you?"
"Master! Mu Donghai greets Master!"
"Mu Donghai?"
"Eh! Master, youR pet rabbit sure knows how to let go."
Suddenly, Shensheng pattered forward in alarm. Mu Huizhong meeting Big Brother for the first time. Wasn't that a bad thing?
"Master, our Mu Family has a famous roasting technique. How about I roast the little thing for you."
Massive crushing aura inundated the area.
"Golden Shield!" roared Mu Huizhong.
Thaboom!!!
Red light flashed as it struck Mu Huizhong's Golden Shield and a blast shocked the area.
"Eh!" squealed Shensheng.
Smoke billowed heavily in all directions. After a few breaths it started to clear up and a seen like no other appeared.
Before Mu Huizhong floated a Talisman which projected a shiny Golden Shield. Although breathing heavily, Mu Huizhong was only slightly rattled. Opposite her, the bunny hovered with blazing red eyes and it's ears pointed straight up into the sky.
"Humph! You must be the legendary Divine Rabbit! And That must've been your Magical Vorpal Eyes."
Shensheng eyes narrowed. "You know Big Brother!?"
Long has this Mu researched ways to defend against the Divine Kings and Queens of the Cosmos.
Suddenly, the bunny raised a claw.
Ohm! Ohm! Ohm!
To everyone's shock, the sky above Savant City darkened and black clouds swirled in reverse.
Shensheng squealed, "Big Brother's using his Cosmic Blaster!"
In the center of the swirling clouds, blood red light glowed like an eye. Visibly, the space started to vibrate and minute spatial cracks slowly materialized.
"Big Brother NOOOOO! You'll burn a hole straight through Third Heaven and kill us all!" squealed Shensheng.
Suddenly, Ling Fan shot forward. Pointing with her sword she snarled, "Brat! Don't make Mommy spank you! Shame on you! Not only did you ruin Mommy's house you want kill her own family!!!! Go ahead, do it. I'll spank you so hard you'll feel it into your next reincarnation!"
Shensheng's eyes popped out. Squealing, "Disciple are you insane!!"
Abruptly, Little Lord withdrew his power and slowly he lowered into Tian Cai's arms.
The darkness and swirling clouds faded gently out of existence.
The bunny lowered his head to Ling Fan.
Sniffing, it said, "Son, sorry"
Just now, little did the citizens of Savant City realize that Ling Fan had saved Third Heaven from apocalypse.
Tian Cai trembled.
The little bugger listens to her!
"Humph! Now your sorry! No carrots for two days Mister!"
The bunny trembled and whined.
Everyone sighed with relief.
The eyes of the Fierce Fairies misted over.
Little Fierce!
Sister!
Fierce Leader!
Leader is Mighty!
Tian Cai looked at Ling Fan with new found respect. Maybe calling her Big Sister wasn't such a bad thing.
Mu Huizhong's face however, was full of dejection.
From the records, her Master's voice echoed in her thoughts.
'Her presence and decisiveness in battle often turned loss into victory...'
Wasn't this what Master meant?
Master, how can she good enough for you? Are you not the Inventor of Ages? Are you not the Sun Star Grand Empyrean? Are you not the Nine Chaos Heaven's Great Defender? How can she ever be good enough for you? Master, this maid will save you!!!
"Mu Donghai, as you can see Little Lord here is a little sensitive. Being Beauty's relative, normally In-law would welcome you into the clan with open arms. However, most likely you'll die if you stay with me. Big Sis, can he stay with your Ling Clan? Having an Empyrean to protect your clan, wouldn't that be beneficial?"
"Disciple, accept. Master requires Mu Donghai's services."
Grumbling, Ling Fan said, "We'll find you a courtyard, far from here. As you can see, Little Lord likes to visit. During such times, you need to be scarce. Someone, take him to the steward to find an abode."
A servant ran forward. "Senior, please follow me."
After Mu Donghai left, both Ling Fan and Tian Cai sighed with relief. Wasn't Little Lord a handful?
A few breaths later, Tian Cai was sipping a cup of joe. Sleeping in Ling Fan's lap was Little Lord. Apparently, calling forth the Cosmic Blaster took some energy. On the side, Junjie was holding a fan in his mouth and was fanning Little Lord. Mysteriously, Shensheng had disappeared to find Mu Donghai. Before Ling Fan was full cup of cold tea. With great envy, she was watching him drink coffee.
"Big Sis, tomorrow Uncle Qiang will be dueling at Dragon Claw Cliff. Afterwards, it's our intention too directly leave for Shadow Hell Forest. We'll have a VIP area for the duels. Please bring Junjie as well as enjoy viewing the duels," said Tian Cai passing over some tickets.
"Little Lord will be going with you?"
Tian Cai grimaced at her words. Half a breath earlier he reluctantly nodded in affirmative.
"You need to be firmer with him. Just now, wouldn't he have wiped out all of Third Heaven?" admonished Ling Fan.
Tian Cai eyes dilated. During this trip, would he be responsible for destroying the world?
Sighing, Tian Cai said, "Big Sis, earlier Brother was impressed by your decisiveness."
Ling Fan threw a look.
Humph! In Bright Star World I'm the Queen of Gangs. Isn't resolving issues child's play?
Tian Cai took out a Black Bank Card. "Brother apologizes for the damage done to your abode. On this card are 1 million spirit stones. That should be enough for repairs. Use the remains for anything you want."
Cha Ching!
Ling Fan's hand swiped the card faster than any blur Tian Cai had seen before. Recalling his previous visit, Tian Cai recalled that Manager Wu had fast hands too. Maybe everyone in Ling Clan practices a special technique?
Ling Fan's face broke with a glorious smile. "Heh! Little Brother sure knows how to apologize."
Tian Cai threw a look.
How can I, a 48 year old man-child, not know how to keep a female happy. Weren't the rules simple. Always apologize. The man was always wrong. Give lots of money. Unfortunately, in his past life he was unable to practice the rules in any fruitful relationships.
Looking about, Tian Cai asked, "Is your Ling Hua not around? Recently, Big Brother Zhao Ding was asking about her. Many say she's Ling Clan's number one beauty."
Ling Fan trembled.
Zhao Ding was asking or her!
"Little Brother, you may not know, but our Ling Hua is also a top hidden bodyguard. In addition, she performs special tasks for our Ling Clan. Sadly, she is out on business."
Disappointingly, Tian Cai nodded. "How unfortunate. Speaking of which, her Yueng He-ping was mightily helpful yesterday. We asked him a favor to help us investigate nasty rumors. While talking, he mentioned how he used to lead the Death Ax Gang and Ling Hua took over his gang. Rather then expressing displeasure, he continuously praised Ling Hua as Fierce Leader. As such, Little Brother felt a desire to meet her."
Ling Fan nodded contently. Indeed, he better be praising her.
Smiling, Ling Fan said, "Little Brother, you may not know but merchants require intelligence for business purposes. Things like validating promises, prospective deals and protection of merchandise. Our Ling Hua is building a force to protect our Ling Clan's interests."
Tian Cai's smirked. The more he heard about Ling Hua, the more he liked.
"Big Sis, Big Brother will be going to Shadow Hell Forest as well. Before leaving, he hopes to meet Ling Hua at the wall."
Ling Fan's heart stiffened. Big Brother Zhao Ding was leaving?
With a cracked voice, Ling Fan asked, "How-How long will Master Zhao Ding be gone? As my savior, Big Sis has always wanted to thank him personally."
"As a top hidden expert in our Zhao Clan, Big Brother has tasks in that region. Supposedly, he will be gone at least a month."
"What things does Master Zhao Ding like? Most likely, our Ling Hua would like to prepare a gift."
Gift?
Tian Cai's eyes brightened. Clearing his throat, Tian Cai said, "The other day Big Brother was lamenting how his sword broke. For this trip, he most certainly will need a reliable weapon."
Big Brother needs a weapon!?
Keeping her cool, Ling Fan nodded, "Sister will be sure to pass the info to our Ling Hua."
"Speaking of gifts, what does Ling Hua like. My Big Brother has been wondering as well."
Ling Hua's heart palpitated, her eyes softening.
Taking awhile to clear her throat she said, "Joe...if Master Zhao Ding will be gone for a month, then mostly like she will greatly miss that."
Tian Cai nodded with understanding. "Big Sis, Ling Hua should be relieved as Little Brother already did a favor. From my experience, the Mu Family are extremely talented baristas. When Big Brother learns of Ling Hua's desire, surely he'll send over a month's supply of joe. At that time, she may rely on Mu Donghai to brew joe."
Ling Fan's eyes popped open in surprise. There was actually something good about the Mu Family? They actually were talented at brewing Kaffe?
Tian Cai stood up and reluctantly motioned for her to pass over Little Lord.
As Ling Fan handed the Bunny over, Tian Cai said, "How about we have the two meet just after sundown?"
"Mhm."
"Then it's a date!" smiled Tian Cai. Turning about, he left with Little Lord.
Behind him, Ling Fan stood stunned.
Mumbling, she said, "Did he just say date?"
