Mo Fan was stunned after hearing Apasâ words.
Who else could it be, if Apas was not referring to that long-faced Zu Kuangli?
Zu Kuangli was obviously lusting after Apas the moment he saw her. If Mo Fan had not been there, he might have tried his best to approach Apas.
Mo Fan was fully aware of it at the dining table, but he did not really think too much about it. Apasâ beauty was disastrous. Mo Fan was already aware of how easily he could attract hatred by bringing Apas along somewhere.
âIf you werenât referring to Zu Kuangli, doesnât that mean...â Mo Fanâs face was filled with disbelief.
Mui Nuxin and Leng Qing were ahead of them, discussing something else. Mo Fan had purposely slowed down behind them.
After a while, he still thought something was strange about what Apas just said.
âApas, I thought I was overdoing it just then, but I didnât expect you to be more confident than I am... I do admit that youâre pretty good-looking, just as pretty as my first wife. Itâs normal for a man to have some thoughts about a beautiful girl, but why do you sound like that Zu Xiangtian was going to eat you alive? Shouldnât it be that Zu Kuangli instead?â Mo Fan had to ask.
Apas shook her head. She said in a very serious voice,â The reason I can tell the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan is about to go berserk is by observing minor things like its voice, expression, movements, state of mind, and psychological struggles. Itâs like how some spiders in a desert can avoid danger by predicting it through the movement of the wind and the temperature of their foeâs blood.â
âPredict danger?â Mo Fan repeated. He had heard that some special creatures were capable of doing so instinctively.
âMm, something like that,â Apas nodded. âA personâs expression, eyes, limbs, and state of mind are a direct reflection of their thoughts no matter how hard they are trying to hide them. That Zu Kuangli seemed pretty interested in me, but thatâs a normal reaction for a man. Itâs just that he wasnât good at concealing it, or perhaps he didnât bother concealing it. You were just like him when you saw me...â Apas said.
Mo Fan blushed. Fine, he did admit that he had been struck by Apasâ beauty. âWhat about that Zu Xiangtian?â Mo Fan said hastily.
Apas was now his Contracted Beast. She had no reason to trick him!
âYou might think that Zu Xiangtian wasnât paying any attention to me. He had a stern face, and his eyes were perfectly calm, but I could sense his true emotions under his calm appearance. He was already treating me like prey as we left!â Apas claimed.
âHis prey?â Mo Fan harrumphed coldly, âSo youâre telling me that heâs worse than that Zu Kuangli? Heâs extremely good at concealing his emotions?â
âI think it has something to do with his sexual orientation. I noticed that he wasnât interested in Rosie and Leng Qing, who were mature, nor was he interested in Mui Nuxin, yet he had strong thoughts about me,â Apas went on.
âOh?â Mo Fan raised his brows.
Apas was still a teenage girl. She might be good-looking, but most people would prefer Rosie or Mui Nuxin, who had a more mature womanly temperament, yet Zu Xiangtian was particularly interested in Apas...
âIâve heard that some men prefer younger women the older they get. I didnât expect that Zu Xiangtian to have such a fetish. Heâs hiding it pretty well!â Mo Fan said.
âYouâre being too easy on him... his obsession... it might be worse than that,â Apas clarified.
Mo Fanâs jaw dropped.
Was she claiming that Zu Xiangtian had seriously treated her as his delicate prey, and would try to pull something soon?
Mo Fan was still baffled by Apasâ words when Leng Qing suddenly came to a stop. She turned around and waited for Mo Fan with a stern face.
âIâve received news from the west of the city. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan has climbed over the wall and tossed a huge boulder at the city. It razed four streets to the ground...â Leng Qing said.
âDid the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan really go berserk?â Mo Fan blurted out in surprise.
Mui Nuxin was startled, too. She was still waiting for her people to get back to her, yet something tragic had taken place before she could find out the truth. She quickly took out her phone and looked for the clips that people had uploaded.
The trail left by the huge boulder as it rolled through the streets was utterly shocking. The debris of the houses it had knocked to the ground were scattered across the place. One of the clips was a gourmet streaming live outdoors. The live stream happened to capture the enormous Tyrant Titan. Many viewers even saw the deadly boulder rolling at the gourmet as he had nowhere to run!
Mui Nuxin stared at her phone. The clips she saw were sending chills down her spine. She was overwhelmed by fear of the Tyrant Titan!
âI told you it might go berserk at any second, including tonight!â Apas reminded them.
Mo Fan looked at Apas, no longer doubting her words. She was indeed sensitive to things like this!
âQuick, letâs head to the cityâs west. The others wonât be able to fend off the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan!â Leng Qing said.
Unfortunately, Leng Qing was just like an ordinary woman now, as her cultivation had not recovered. She had trouble keeping pace.
âThe Hall of Knights should be heading there now. Letâs hope that can make it in time!â Mo Fan knew it was too late even if they headed toward the place now. They were currently on the other side of the city!
Mo Fan was utterly helpless against a powerful creature like the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan. He could only place his hopes on Brianca, Heidi, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan being able to stop the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan from taking more innocent lives before the Hall of Knights arrived.
Mo Fan shifted his gaze back to Apas. He frowned after recalling what Apas just told him.
Zu Xiangtian was clearly one of the people that wanted him dead. The Zu Clan was not going to forgive him, and now Apas was caught in the middle. He would really have to keep an eye on that Zu Xiangtian!
