116: Sequence 9 Afu

Ah Fu exuded the aura of a Sequence 9, though it was considerably weaker compared to Marcus and Locke.

At this moment, Ah Fu's outstretched wings were almost as large as an average eagle's.

Its wingspan was nearly two meters.

This immense transformation made Locke shake his head in surprise.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Ah Fu, I didn't expect such a big change in you after just a few days. I almost didn't recognize you at first glance."

"Hehe, this is all thanks to my Lord's gift. Otherwise... I would still just be a bat slightly larger than an ordinary one."

After Ah Fu became a Sequence 9, its intelligence also grew. When Locke praised it, it scratched its head with a claw, a bit embarrassed.

Locke found it somewhat comical and wondrous to behold.

He could only sigh at how profoundly the extraordinary changed a creature.

Meanwhile, Serena, who was getting ready for bed, heard Locke and Ah Fu talking and walked over in her pajamas.

When she saw the greatly enlarged Ah Fu,

she couldn't help but be dumbfounded. She then turned to look at Locke, pointed at the completely transformed Ah Fu, and asked for confirmation:

"Dear, is this still Ah Fu, your pet? How did it grow so big!"

Locke smiled and nodded: "It's amazing, isn't it? I was just as startled as you when I first saw it."

Upon receiving a positive answer, Serena immediately opened the window and greeted Ah Fu with a smile.

"Hello, Ah Fu, do you still remember me?"

Ah Fu tilted its head and seriously looked at Serena, then sniffed her scent with its nose, pondering for a moment.

Then it suddenly jumped and pointed at her with a wing:

"I remember you, I remember you! You are my Lord's female slave, you are Serena."

The reason it called Serena a female slave was because it sensed Locke's aura within Serena, which, in a bat's understanding, symbolized conquest.

Seeing its excitement, Serena thought it had said something nice. She quickly turned to Locke, tugged his arm, and pouted:

"Dear, quickly help me translate."

Before Locke could scold it, Serena interrupted his train of thought, and he quickly explained,

"Ah Fu said it still remembers you, and remembers that you are my woman. It was just calling you 'Mistress.'"

However, he couldn't translate it literally, so he had to add a little artistic embellishment.

After all, in his opinion, 'female slave' and 'woman' meant almost the same thing.

"Really!"

When Serena heard this, the smile on her face grew even wider. She then reached out and stroked Ah Fu's wing, saying enthusiastically:

"Quick, quick, quick, Locke, move aside! Let Ah Fu, this child, come inside to chat."

Locke rolled his eyes, then slightly moved aside. At the same time, he stealthily reached out and gently tapped Ah Fu's head, transmitting his voice:

"You fellow, be more discerning next time, alright?"

"Oh, thank you... my Lord's teachings. I will use the correct address for Lady Serena next time."

Ah Fu clutched its head after being tapped, realizing Serena's status in Locke's heart. Its eyes immediately darted around.

Locke couldn't be bothered to argue with a bat. He patted his shoulder, indicating:

"Alright, come in."

"I still have some things I need to ask you."

"Yes, my Lord, just ask any questions you have."

Hearing his words, Ah Fu immediately folded its wings, wrapping itself up like an oval-shaped ball, then tried to squeeze through the window.

However, due to its large size, it got stuck in the middle of the window frame as it passed through.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho."

Ah Fu looked at Locke, somewhat bewildered, a hint of embarrassment flashing across its face: "My Lord, I seem to be too fat to get in through this window..."

Locke's expression was calm. He reached out and tore off the outer window frame.

"As an extraordinary being, you can't possibly lack even this much destructive power, can you?"

Seeing Locke's disdainful gaze, Ah Fu quickly squeezed in, eagerly jumped onto his shoulder, and explained with flapping wings:

"My Lord, Ah Fu just thought the window was your property, and I had no right to damage it."

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

Locke didn't dwell on it. He led the Great Bat to the sofa, sitting opposite Serena, then picked up a cup of freshly brewed black tea from the table and took a sip:

"I ask you, what extraordinary skills did you awaken after becoming an extraordinary being? Tell me, you might be needed in future battles."

Hearing this, Ah Fu immediately jumped from Locke's shoulder to the table in front of the sofa, bouncing excitedly as it declared:

"My Lord, my Lord, hehehe, I awakened two extraordinary skills this time, didn't expect that, did you?"

"And I think each one is particularly powerful. If you need me to fight later, I will definitely be able to help my Lord."

"Oh? You even awakened two, and both are particularly powerful!"

Locke watched the excited Ah Fu bounce like a ball on the table,

and couldn't help but become interested.

At the same time, he began to genuinely look at this Great Bat with new respect.

After all, if it really awakened two heaven-defying extraordinary skills, then his chances against Marcus and William would be even greater.

Perhaps it could increase from 99% to 99.99%.

Mainly, Serena's safety would be absolutely guaranteed, and then he could act freely without any reservations.

"Yes, my Lord, I think this is all thanks to you. With your blessing, Ah Fu was able to awaken these two powerful extraordinary skills during evolution."

Ah Fu saw the admiration in Locke's eyes, and its round body bounced even more vigorously.

In its world, gaining Locke's appreciation was the best gift.

Serena, holding her teacup, watched Locke and Ah Fu converse with great curiosity.

She could completely understand Locke's words, but she couldn't hear a single sound from what Ah Fu said.

However, she could gather some general information from the snippets Locke spoke.

So, she smiled and poured another cup of tea from the table, pushed it in front of the spherical bat, and then reached out to stroke its owl-like round head:

"Ah Fu, congratulations! You've awakened two good skills."

Serena looked at the adorable creature, and her love for Locke extended to Ah Fu, making her increasingly fond of this pet.

"Hehehe."

Ah Fu, embarrassed by the praise, scratched its head with a wing, then lowered its head and took a sip of black tea.

As the black tea entered its mouth, its face immediately filled with surprise, its dark eyes wide.

Then it quickly drank all the remaining black tea.

"Mmm!"

The reason Ah Fu found it delicious was because a large amount of sugar cubes had been added to the black tea, making it very sweet.

Sugar is very popular in the animal kingdom, and bats are no exception.

"Squeak, squeak, thank you for the reward, Lady Serena, this is truly delicious."
