Houndman had provided Mo Fan with three Commander-level Soul Essences, each of them of high-quality. It was definitely a handsome profit for Mo Fan!

When Mo Fan was thinking of how he should spend the money, Little Flame Belle laid down half-heartedly on Mo Fan’s shoulder. She did not seem to be in a good mood.

“What is it?” Mo Fan touched Little Flame Belle’s head.

As soon as he touched the little creature’s head, he immediately felt a scorching heat.

Even though Little Flame Belle was a Fire Spirit, her temperature was normally within the range of a human’s body temperature when she was not showing hostility towards something. It was why Lingling was able to keep hugging her.

Therefore, it was strange to feel a strong heat when he touched her head.

“Is she having a fever?” Mo Fan asked. He realized how stupid he was after asking the question. Would a Fire Spirit even get a fever!?

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle seemed very down, like a kid feeling dizzy from a fever. Mo Fan’s heart ached when he saw her gloomy face.

Little Flame Belle had no idea what was happening to her. She was having difficulty controlling the temperature of her flames.

Mo Fan did not dare leave her at home, as there was a chance that the unit he had bought for over ten million would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

——

Mo Fan brought Little Flame Belle to the Clearsky Hunter Agency. As he expected, Lingling had skipped school to research the clues that Jiang Shaojun had left behind.

She immediately told Mo Fan her discoveries when she saw him walking in, “There are indeed traces of a Totem Beast in Yantai, Lian Xishan didn’t lie to us. With the help of the Moon Moth Phoenix’s Totem Seal, there’s a chance we can find the truth about the Totem Beast there. It would be best if we could find the actual Totem Beast instead!”

“Lingling, we’ll discuss it later. Can you tell what’s happening to Little Flame Belle?” Mo Fan placed Little Flame Belle who was like a little furnace on the bar.

To his surprise, Little Flame Belle quickly left a scorched mark on the wooden bar. Mo Fan hastily picked her up again. She had almost destroyed Old Bao’s precious bar!

“She’s very hot!” Even Lingling had to stay a distance away.

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle cried helplessly. She had no idea why she could not control her flames. She felt like a stronger flame would burst out from her body at any second.

It did not feel good. It was bad news if a Fire Spirit could not control her own flames!

“By the way, didn’t Little Flame Belle behave like this before?” Lingling asked, recalling something.

“Did she?” Mo Fan could not recall Little Flame Belle having difficulty controlling her flames.

“Back when she was entering the Youth Phase, didn’t she keep burning everything around her? You ended up paying lots of money out before,” Lingling reminded him.

“Oh, you’re right, but she was just being naughty. I don’t think it has anything to do with her condition now, right?” Mo Fan said.

“I believe they are the same thing. Back then, there must be some energy that she was having trouble controlling, so she kept releasing it instead. After all, she was still very young, so she didn’t know releasing the fire as she pleased was not right. She is able to control herself now, but the energy inside her body after reaching the Adolescent Phase was just too powerful. She was struggling to control it, resulting in the increase in her temperature,” Lingling said.

“So you’re saying that Little Flame Belle is about to evolve?” Mo Fan was overjoyed.

“That’s what I think. We estimated that it would take Little Flame Belle three to five years to reach the Adolescent Phase, but I believe the Time Liquid and being reborn with the Ardent Sunset has sped up her growth. She must be advancing into the Adolescent Phase!” Lingling judged confidently.

“HAHAHA, Little Flame Belle, you’re about to reach the Adolescent Phase!” Mo Fan was overwhelmed with joy.

Little Flame Belle had been in the Youth Phase for a very long time. Most importantly, she was already as strong as a Commander-level creature while in the Youth Phase. Her strength improved significantly after she was reborn with the Ardent Sunset, too!

The truth was, Mo Fan did feel a little strange that Little Flame Belle’s strength had not improved as much as he had expected after she was reborn.

Now that he thought about it, it was not because Little Flame Belle’s strength had not improved, but because she was still entering the Adolescent Phase!

The Adolescent Phase would not just improve her strength; even her appearance would change again!

“She changed a little before, so I thought she had already entered the Adolescent Phase,” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“The changes should be very obvious once she entered the Adolescent Phase. She wouldn’t look like a little girl still,” Lingling sniffed at the thick-headed idiot’s words.

“What should I do now?” Mo Fan asked.

“Do you have money?” Lingling asked.

“Well, I earned some recently,” Mo Fan said.

“How much?” Lingling said.

“Three high-quality Commander-level Soul Essences. I believe each one is worth around five hundred million!” Mo Fan said.

Houndman had clearly invested more than fifteen hundred million on the Dreadful Curse Cerberus; Mo Fan earned a fortune from killing the creature!

It was easier to earn money after his cultivation improved!

“Oh, I think that’s enough to buy a Soul-grade Fire Seed or two. I’ll go with you to the Shanghai Plaza and look around. We’ll buy one or two Soul-grade Fire Seeds that suit Little Flame Belle’s taste,” Lingling said.

“…” Mo Fan almost dropped his jaw to the ground.

What did she mean, buy one or two Soul-grade Fire Seeds that suited Little Flame Belle’s taste!?

Every Soul-grade Fire Seed was crazily expensive. Mo Fan had yet to find a suitable Soul-grade Fire Seed to upgrade his Rose Flame. He finally had a sum of money to replace the Rose Flame, but his head started spinning after hearing Lingling’s words!

“Are you seriously telling me that she has to eat Soul-grade Fire Seeds in the Adolescent Phase?” Mo Fan blurted out in shock.

“Not necessarily. You can still feed her Spirit-grade Seeds normally, but feeding her fragments of Seeds isn’t going to help anymore. However, since she’s at a crucial time of entering the Adolescent Phase, you’ll need Soul-grade Fire Seeds to ensure that she can successfully enter the Adolescent Phase. You can easily tell that Little Flame Belle is suffering. It’s because the energy inside her is beyond what her body can contain. Her life might be in danger if we don’t lend her a hand. I’ve heard many special creatures die when advancing to the next phase,” Lingling said.

Mo Fan immediately became serious when he heard Little Flame Belle’s life might be in danger.

However, Mo Fan’s heart was still aching. He had finally earned some money after so long, yet he was about to burn it all like joss paper…

His Double Innate Elements was already using a lot of his money. To his surprise, Little Flame Belle was using his money even quicker! Like father, like daughter, indeed!

“Don’t worry, you’ll know how worthwhile it is to spend the money soon!” Lingling assured him. She was well aware of Mo Fan’s financial problems.

“I know, I’ve seen the list of the items being auctioned not long ago. There will be an international auction at Shanghai Plaza in a week. There are many Soul-grade Seeds being auctioned off. Since we’re helping Little Flame Bellereach the Adolescent Phase, we’ll have to prepare enough money to compete with the rich people,” Mo Fan said.

“I agree, let’s try to secure three Soul-grade Fire Seeds just in case, but we won’t need the kind that have a Domain,” Lingling said.

Little Flame Belle already had two Domains. Therefore, the Soul-grade Fire Seeds with a Domain would not provide her any help. She just needed the pure fire energy that the Soul-grade Fire Seeds contained!

“Are there any jobs worth taking recently? Let’s try and earn some money with the time we have left,” Mo Fan said.

“Now that you mention it,” Lingling quickly opened up her notebook and downloaded the information about a job. She showed it to Mo Fan and said, “When I was researching about the Totem Beast in Yantai, I accidentally found out that a big corporation producing magic equipment is collecting a special part from some demon creatures. They are offering a hundred thousand for each piece. The price is negotiable, depending on the quality…and they are buying as many as people have. A few Hunter Groups have gone to Yantai recently because of the job. I think it’s perfect for us, since we’ll be searching for traces of the Totem Beast in Yantai, too.”

“Sounds good, speaking of killing two birds with one stone! I’ll ask Zhao Manyan to come along too. We’ll go to Yantai tomorrow!” Mo Fan nodded.

“He’s alive?” Lingling gasped in astonishment.

“It turned out that my speculation was right, but it was his brother that set him up. He will have to fake his identity for the time being,” Mo Fan said.

“Alright, I’ll collect more information about our job tonight.”

Lingling was extremely happy that they were on a job. That way, her grandfather would not force her to go to school.

Lingling always looked forward to Mo Fan showing up. Mo Fan was her partner. If Mo Fan was looking for a job, she could conveniently and magically transform into a Hunter Master!

——

“Little Flame Belle, if you aren’t feeling well, you should rest in the Contracted Space. Don’t worry, I’ll buy you a few Soul-grade Seeds once I have the money and guarantee that you can enter the Adolescent Phase right away!” Mo Fan hugged the scorchingly hot Little Flame Belle.

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle was surprisingly obedient. She returned to the Contracted Space after enjoying Mo Fan’s hug for a while.

“They are collecting as many crests of demon creatures as everyone can gather… this corporation is pretty rich. With Lingling’s help, there won’t be any trouble obtaining the crests they are looking for. I’ll do my best to make them go bankrupt!” Mo Fan glanced at the information that Lingling sent him with a cunning grin!
