Apas told Mo Fan about her encounter with Zu Xiangtian. She also briefly mentioned Zu Xiangtian’s mission to search for a demon creature, but she did not mention her sister.

“The Holy Judgment Court and Heresy Judgment Court are indeed refuges of the retarded. If someone as brainless as Zu Xiangtian can become a Judicator, I believe the Angels aren’t good people either!” Mo Fan swore aloud.

“I didn’t tell him you were here. I think we can use him to sneak into the Sacred Residence,” Apas proposed.

“What’s your idea?” Mo Fan asked.

“He isn’t cautious of me. I told him I snuck out by myself. He might agree to bring me to the Sacred Residence for a tour if I asked him,” Apas said.

“No way! Zhao Manyan told me that Zu Xiangtian might be reputable in foreign countries, but his clan has abused their power and money to cover up a lot of his scandals. If he’s so into you, I can’t possibly put you in danger. You won’t be able to use your power in the Sacred City. You won’t be able to protect you with your useless Plant Element!” Mo Fan shook his head.

What was this little girl even thinking? Mo Fan would not use Apas to bait Zu Xiangtian when they were outside the Sacred City, let alone inside it, where she was unable to use her power. Zu Xiangtian was recruited as a Judicator for a reason. He must have some outstanding capabilities, and he was good at concealing his intentions. Mo Fan would never have known he had a fetish for young girls if it weren’t for Apas’ warning. He might even think the man was homosexual. After all, he did not even bother looking at a beauty like Mu Ningxue.

He had to be extremely careful of someone who was good at putting up a disguise. There was no way he would give Apas away… he had yet to have a taste of her himself!

“It will be almost impossible to sneak into the Sacred Residence without his help,” Apas said.

“So what if we sneak into the Sacred Residence? We still won’t have a chance to see Qin Yu’er,” Mo Fan replied.

“Mm, you’re right,” Apas nodded.

“Apas, why are you so keen to help me all of a sudden? You aren’t behaving like yourself,” Mo Fan asked, looking into Apas’ eyes.

When a man and a woman were intimate for some time, they were able to read one another’s minds. Even though Mo Fan and Apas had always kept a clean master-servant relationship, their hearts were more interlinked than an old couple who had been together for ten or twenty years.

Mo Fan could sense Apas’ anger even though he was at the inn the whole time.

Mo Fan had the urge to check what was going on, but Apas soon suppressed her anger and came back to the inn. Mo Fan was more concerned about the reason why Apas was so angry instead of her coincidental encounter with Zu Xiangtian.

“I…I feel sorry for Qin Yu’er too,” Apas said softly.

“There’s no point in lying to me,” Mo Fan pulled Apas to his side when he saw her still putting up a front. He said, “Apas, even though I uncovered your true identity, I’ve always been your big brother. You can tell me if you are feeling troubled. I’ll do my best to help you.”

Mo Fan clearly felt the sorrow in Apas’ heart even when she was not saying anything. He knew she must have lost someone dearest to her and someone had recently sprinkled salt on her wound.

Apas could not suppress that emotion even if she wanted to!

Mo Fan did not have a heart of stone, either. Mo Fan could tell Apas was more like a human than a snake after associating with her for so long. He believed it had something to do with the person dearest to her.

Mo Fan pulled Apas into his arms and rubbed her head. She was resisting fiercely at first. After all, she still held a grudge against Mo Fan for forcing her to sign a Contract with him. Although the Contract did not improve their relationship, it made her feel safe around Mo Fan.

Apas recalled how Mo Fan pampered her when they were in Cairo by bringing her shopping and buying her food. She had almost forgotten her real identity during that time. She was like a little girl who had left an island of flowers before stumbling into an interesting big brother, looking forward to seeing the world.

Apas curled up in Mo Fan’s arms after he rubbed her head for a while.

Mo Fan smiled when he noticed Apas lowering her guard. He was about to speak when Apas looked up with her usual innocent eyes and dazzling smile.

“Did Sister Mu stop you from going into her room?” Apas asked.

“Ugh…” Mo Fan had an awkward expression.

“This is my room. I won’t be sleeping in the Contract Space. You can sleep outside on the balcony or sleep with me. Either way, I’ll tell Sister Mu everything,” Apas said cunningly.

“Apas, we should give one another some room so we can see each other well still in the future. It’s so cold at night here. I’ll be frozen when I wake up the next day,” Mo Fan smiled wryly.

(Sigh), why was there always a lack of trust between people? Why must Apas think he was being kind to her because he was after her room? Couldn’t he just harbor malicious intent, like Zu Xiangtian instead?

Apas locked the door after leaving Mo Fan in the corridor. He shivered as a cold breeze swept past. He recalled the owner’s jealous face before staring at the three tightly shut doors.

Forget it, he should go for a walk. He had never been to the Sacred City. Perhaps a gorgeous hottie he met on the street would be willing to provide him shelter for the night after seeing how charming he was!

Mo Fan was walking along the splendor street of the Sacred City, surrounded by ancient Rome buildings done up in a religious style. However, the buildings were incompatible with the pedestrians in their fashionable clothing.

Mo Fan went to a dark alley, following his instincts. A dark figure suddenly appeared beside him. The tall figure was wearing a coat with an upright collar. Its outline was surprisingly clear in the shadows.

“Bola, are you sure this is the one?” Mo Fan pointed at the shop with the closed sign.

“Yes, my master,” Bola replied respectfully.

“Can you handle her?” Mo Fan asked.

“It will be difficult. The Eye of the Golden Dragon doesn’t reject the existence of demon creatures, but it can easily detect their power. The Holy Court Mages will be here in less than two minutes. We have to think of a better plan if we want to take down Euryale,” Bola answered.
