Reunion with Two Women (Bonus Chapter!)

Ai Tutu had never seen such a young Hunter Master before, and she didn't mind the little girl's tsundere attitude. She kept chattering away with questions...

Seeing Ling Ling's impatient expression, Tang Miao turned back and said, "If you'd put a little less of your growth essence into your chest, you might actually be a smart girl."

"Y-you you..."

Hearing Tang Miao bring up her pride again, Ai Tutu felt a mix of embarrassment and anger. But soon she giggled and said, "Do you want to touch me, missy?"

Tang Miao's steps faltered, and Ai Tutu, who was teasing him from behind, didn't notice and bumped straight into him.

"Thump~"

The collision seemed to have a springy effect, sending Ai Tutu stumbling back several steps. Luckily, Ling Ling reacted quickly and dodged, or she might have been knocked over by that bounce.

Even though she was usually carefree, this was only their second meeting. Yet this was already the second time they'd touched like this. Ai Tutu blushed and stammered, "Y-you... you did that on purpose!"

Tang Miao's lips curled slightly. He shook his head and spread his hands. "Miss Ai, please don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything."

Mu Nujiao heard the commotion behind her and turned to see Ai Tutu squabbling with Tang Miao. She looked at Ling Ling as she walked over and asked, puzzled, "What's... going on with them?"

Ling Ling shook her head, putting on an expression that said, "The world of grown-ups—I don't get it."

Still, thanks to Tang Miao's little stunt, her ears finally got some peace.

Mu Nujiao was speechless. She looked back at Tang Miao and said, "Are you still looking for the person or not..."

"I am!"

Tang Miao reached out and covered Ai Tutu's mouth, then nodded.

Of course—he was here to earn some cash, not to pick up girls.

Ai Tutu, treated so roughly, looked like she was about to unleash her primordial fury. But Tang Miao turned back and said in a low voice, "This is about someone's life. Keep it up, and I'll spank you!"

Ai Tutu instantly backed down... She stopped fussing, not because she was afraid of being hit, but because she knew what mattered more.

Tang Miao was just bluffing anyway. Ai Tutu was tough, even if she was a handful.

After the four of them arrived at where Liu Ying was, Tang Miao looked at the girl sitting there. Then he said, "She doesn't seem all that special?"

Ai Tutu snorted. "That's why I suspect you're up to no good!"

Tang Miao shot Ai Tutu a glare. "If I had any ulterior motives, would I be dragging a little girl along?"

Ai Tutu felt a bit awkward, humphed a couple of times, then clung to Mu Nujiao to vent her grievances.

Watching Mu Nujiao, who seemed dazed under the weight of her big assets, Tang Miao felt a twinge of envy. After all, Ai Tutu's level surpassed even Tang Yue's—otherwise, Tang Miao wouldn't have bothered teasing her.

Mu Nujiao, of course, didn't care about that. Her arms got that treatment every day. But since she was a girl too, it didn't really register.

"These past few days, when Liu Ying came in the morning, she did look like she hadn't slept well. Could she really be in some kind of trouble?" Mu Nujiao fell silent for a moment, then recalled.

"It seems she really is being haunted by some demonic creature." As Mu Nujiao finished speaking, Ling Ling confirmed it with certainty.

Tang Miao thought for a moment, then said, "You two head back. Leave the rest to us."

"No way!"

"Why should we!?"

As soon as Tang Miao spoke, both girls refused at once. Come on—hunting demonic creatures was way too exciting. One was a thrill-seeker, the other loved action; neither wanted to miss out.

Tang Miao sighed helplessly. "Even weaker demons lurking in the city could be at the General Level. There's no benefit in you two getting involved."

Ling Ling, at least, was a Hunter Master and knew how to protect herself. But these two silly girls? They'd only just reached the mid-tier. Under these circumstances, how could Tang Miao bring them along?

"Sure, Mu and I aren't as freakish as you, but even if we can't win, we've got ways to survive. You pervert, just let us come along—we're classmates, after all."

Ai Tutu left Mu Nujiao's side, came up to Tang Miao, and pressed her big assets right against him. Just a moment ago, she'd been acting all wronged, and now she was throwing herself at him... Tang Miao had to admire her quick turnaround.

But soft and squishy—well, it was certainly stimulating...

"Ahem... No way. What if it's something dangerous? If even I can't handle it, you'd really be in trouble!"

Tang Miao's mind might have wandered a bit, but this wasn't a joke. He refused again.

Ai Tutu begged repeatedly but got nowhere. Grinding her teeth, she whispered something in Tang Miao's ear...

Whatever Ai Tutu said, Tang Miao eventually agreed.

Of course, it definitely wasn't because of the pleasure his arm was getting...

It was mainly because Ai Tutu promised that next semester, she'd convince Mu Nujiao to rent a place with him—the three of them together!

And honestly, he never turned down the chance to keep... well, girls around.

As for Ai Tutu, she figured following Tang Miao would be a thrill ride... As for safety? That thought didn't even cross her mind.

Either way, they were a perfect match.

Ling Ling hesitated, then pulled Tang Miao aside. "Are you sure it's a good idea to bring these two rookies?"

Tang Miao put on a helpless face. "What else can I do? Do you think they'd actually leave quietly?"

Ling Ling stared at him with a skeptical look.

Caught under those innocent eyes, Tang Miao felt a bit awkward... Then he said, "Seriously, if you can convince them to leave, be my guest."

Ling Ling shook her head, then sighed. "I just hope they don't cause any trouble."

After all, they were the ones who had asked for information in the first place, so there was no backing out now. Besides, what the girls said was reasonable—their classmates were involved...

She was still just a kid; high IQ didn't necessarily mean high EQ.

Once Ling Ling was settled, Mu Nujiao said softly, "It looks like Liu Ying is about to leave."

"Follow her."

At Ling Ling's words, the four of them trailed not far behind her, heading out of the school. It took a full half hour just to get off campus...

"Huh?"

As they followed Liu Ying, they heard Ai Tutu speak up. The other three looked at her, and Tang Miao asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

After all, they were classmates, even in the same homeroom. Ai Tutu wasn't particularly close to her, but she still knew where the other girl lived.

She said, "This looks like the way home, doesn't it? What kind of demon would be there..."

Hearing the disappointment in Ai Tutu's voice, Tang Miao shrugged. "If there's no demon, isn't that better?"

Ai Tutu pouted a little. "How can you say that..."

Ling Ling glanced at Tang Miao, who was dawdling, and said, "Hurry up. We're here to protect her—whether something happens or not, we have to follow."

Tang Miao nodded. "Alright, no chance to take you demon hunting this time. Next time." With that, he caught up.

Mu Nujiao felt something was off. She looked at Ai Tutu and said, "Tutu, I feel like something's not right. Let's go check it out."

Ai Tutu wasn't interested, but since Mu Nujiao was willing, she had to tag along. Besides, she still needed to figure out a way to get Mu Nujiao to agree to room with her and Tang Miao!
