Mated at First Sight
Chapter 193 - 167

Chapter 193: 167

"Tsk tsk tsk... I didn’t expect two teams to run into each other so quickly." It happened even faster than he anticipated. It seemed like, dealing with Mu Lin and her group, the other team was truly eager to win.

Unfortunately for them, the newcomers weren’t so easy to deal with.

As for Jing Tian, unlike Ling Qi, his main focus was on Mu Lin.

"What is Mu Lin doing?" Was that a bat in her hand? Wasn’t his future sister-in-law scared? Bat bites could be toxic.

Upon hearing Jing Tian’s comment, everyone automatically shifted their gazes to Mu Lin. The sight was startling to all of them, except for Qiaozi and Jing Chen.

They knew Mu Lin well enough to not worry.

Not only the people in the surveillance vehicle, but also those accompanying Mu Lin were taken aback by her actions.

Why was Mu Lin trying to attract such dangerous creatures?

"Little Mu Mu, that creature is dangerous! Hurry up and throw it away!" Yang Yuebin watched nervously as Mu Lin held the bat in her hand, fearing it might bite her if it got upset.

However, Mu Lin just gently shook her head, her lips curving into a smile. "Don’t worry, this little thing is really cute." Although woodland bats can be a bit venomous, it would never bite her.

Everyone: They truly couldn’t see what was cute about the creature; this was the first time they started questioning Mu Lin’s aesthetic judgment.

She must be a real ’poison doctor’! Jing Youlan sighed.

Ignoring the overly concerned crowd, Mu Lin looked gently at the small bat in her hand. "You just flew over us, did you see anyone else before us, who looked dressed similarly to how we are?"

Hearing this, people briefly thought Mu Lin had gone crazy to be talking to a bat. But then it hit them; she usually communicates with Qiaozi the same way, and suddenly everything clicked.

Could Mu Lin... could she understand animal language? That’s so... unbelievable!

With this thought, everyone stared spell-bound at the small bat in Mu Lin’s hand.

Just as they suspected.

"Chirping..." The small bat started to sound off, fluttering its little wings as if it was putting on a show.

Oh my... this is miraculous! Everyone was stunned.

Mu Lin: "How many people came?"

Little Bat: "Chirping..." A lot of people.

Mu Lin: "Um, that means there should be about ten people!" The allocation of their rivals was similar to theirs, likely three squads with ten people each. "How far away are they from here?"

Little Bat: "Chirping..." I don’t know, but I didn’t fly for long before I saw you.

Mu Lin: "They must be close." This little creature flew quite fast.

Observing the interaction between Mu Lin and the bat, Yang Yuebin interrupted, "Is the enemy close to our location?"

Mu Lin: "It didn’t say so." It only mentioned not flying for long, which meant that the enemies were indeed very close; the first confrontation was approaching.

Everyone: If it didn’t say so, then why did you conclude that the enemies are close?

Mu Lin turned back to the small bat, her smile as warm as ever, "Well, thank you, now off you go."

After a few more chirping sounds, the small bat quickly disappeared into the night, finding humans’ understanding of its language to be an astonishing yet refreshing experience.

After the bat flew away.

"Mu Lin, can you actually communicate with animals?" Everyone was eager to know.

"Can’t exactly say that." Mu Lin replied, "It’s just that I can communicate with any kind of flying animals; for example, pigs - if they could fly, then I could communicate with them." Otherwise, no.

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, "That joke is so lame!" It seemed that Mu Lin had also learned to make lame jokes.

"Anyway, let’s not discuss that now. The enemy is nearby. We need to... be on guard!" Yue Qiao said. The once harmonious scene instantly grew tense.

...

Meanwhile, inside the surveillance vehicle.

Ling Qi walked over to Jing Chen, finally voicing his original thought, "Brother, you really... struck gold!" He started to feel jealous again.

Jing Chen responded, "Mu Lin is mine and no one else’s; anyone who dares to touch her, I will kill them."

Deciding to ignore Jing Chen, Ling Qi turned to Qiaozi and asked, "Qiaozi, can Mu Lin really understand you?" Today’s events made Ling Qi recall the day when Mu Lin and Qiaozi first arrived; how naturally she seemed to interact with Qiaozi. He initially thought she was just talking to herself, but surprisingly, she was actually communicating.

Qiaozi nodded; was it really strange that Mu Lin could understand him?

Qiaozi was puzzled.

Ling Qi suddenly felt like howling at the sky; Damn it all!

Jing Tian watched Mu Lin on the screen with interest, a smirk on his face. "Brother, I fear if I keep watching, I might not be able to resist stealing her from you. What should I do?"

"You dare." The threat in his words was palpable, "If you dare to steal her from me, I’ll destroy you first, then apologize to the second uncle." Jing Chen added lastly, "Little princess, my Mu Lin... won’t be charmed by you."

A snort was muffled... The second uncle passed out.

It’s just a joke! No need to attack him like that.
