Qin Yiling smiled and said, “Little Monkey is a Spirit Beast.”

Yan Ze asked curiously, “Spirit Beast?”

She explained, “Spirit Beasts refer to animals whose minds have evolved, just like how humans have come to develop IQ. Hence, they can behave more like humans.”

“I see. Indeed, this little monkey is quite impressive.” He acknowledged.

She smiled and said, “Oh, you don’t think it’s strange at all to see me interacting this way with Little Monkey?”

From as young as she could remember, her mother had strictly forbidden her from revealing to others her special ability to control animals.

Her mother also said that when she was very young, she had often inadvertently attracted many Spirit Beasts. For example, there was the extremely prized King Koi fish, who had been with her throughout her growing years, and the little dolphin, who occasionally came to bring her treasures from the deep seas. These were all Spirit Beasts, and they were her most loyal little companions.

The reason for her mother’s rule was because when she was young, she had once attracted all the chickens, ducks, and geese in their holiday village. All of them had followed her around and formed a train, creating quite a sight and prompting remarks of astonishment from the other locals.

But this morning, when she was talking to the little monkey, Yan Ze just happened to have woken up. She didn’t want to behave secretively around him, because subconsciously, she had already thought of him as her man.

Since she was already prepared to be with him, she didn’t want to hide too much from him. Otherwise, if they didn’t lower their guards, how could they be together?

For example, her parents had always been honest and sincere with each other, without any secrets between them at all. Even as they grew older, they still remained very lovey-dovey with each other.

She envied them, and wanted to pursue a life like that.

However, she had too many secrets about herself and It was not possible for her to reveal everything at once, as most people would probably find it hard to process. Therefore, she wanted to let nature take its course and proceed one step at a time. That way, they could make proper progress.

However, wasn’t this man’s reaction a little too calm?

The corners of Yan Ze’s mouth curled up slightly. “I’ve experienced even more astonishing things than this. This is nothing.”

“Oh? What have you experienced?” Qin Yiling was curious.

Yan Ze’s eyes flickered. He stopped in his tracks and looked straight at her. “You don’t know?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiling was confused. “Is it something I should know? What do you mean?”

How would she know what he had experienced? She was baffled by his question, especially since they hadn’t even been living in the same space-time dimension.

Immediately, his face fell, and he gazed wordlessly at her for a long time.

“What’s wrong? Come on, say something.”

However, when he just continued to look at her without saying a word, her expression darkened and she lost her temper a little.

His gaze made her feel very uneasy–the sparkle in his eyes that had made her heart race was gone. Instead, they were now deep and dark, without a trace of light.

This was a gaze that she did not like.

Although she couldn’t be bothered to deal with people at times, that was only when the other party was not worth her time and effort, so she wouldn’t even want to waste her time talking to them.

However, when it came to her friends and family, she was actually very frank and honest. She didn’t like to beat around the bush, and always preferred to say whatever was on her mind.

Meanwhile, Yan Ze’s emotions were in turmoil. When he heard her answer just a while ago, he had a moment of doubt.

He suspected that the woman in front of him was not Duo Duo, but actually someone else sent to deceive him..
