Chapter 140: She Still Loves to Fight

As Army Lady discussed her next plans, her gaze continuously wandered over the girl’s face and body, completely oblivious to Stealth One, who was being ridden by Lin Yu.

"Shall we continue hunting?"

"Ah, yes."

That was the initial plan, but…

Perhaps staying in the castle for a while wouldn’t be so bad? Army Lady found herself thinking as she looked at the girl.

Just as she was about to retract her earlier statement—

"Well, that’s fine too."

The girl nodded, then, as if remembering something, added,

"Oh, by the way, the next time you level up and restore your Magic Value, I will grant you the ‘Transformation’ skill."

"Huh?! Me?"

Army Lady’s face showed disbelief.

"Yes."

"Ah! I, I’m going hunting!"

After receiving confirmation once more, Army Lady felt her heart racing.

It’s Sister Red Pupil! Sister Red Pupil recommended me to Mom!

Along with excitement and joy, she also felt a deep gratitude towards Red Pupil.

I feel so energized again! If I can transform to look like the human race, maybe Mom will like my human appearance and won’t dislike me anymore!

Keep fighting! We need to capture more Class A Monsters!

"Military One, take the other ants with you; let’s go."

Without hesitation, she called the Exploration Team Ants and cheerfully left the castle entrance.

Seeing her rush off, Lin Yu, who had planned to suggest that Army Lady take a break and prepare some food for her, decided to remain silent.

Army Lady still loves to fight so much, she thought.

Meanwhile, on a balcony on the second floor of the castle,

Magic Rainbow watched Army Lady’s figure disappear into the distance, her expression thoughtful.

"Oh, how did Sister Magic Rainbow suddenly come here?"

At that moment, the other three ants, Little Liquor, Weak Sound, and Darkling Stalker, approached.

"It’s nothing."

…

Several more days passed.

The newly hatched ants gradually integrated into the entire ant colony.

The Flying Ants began their hunting. Thanks to their flying advantage, they encountered little danger in their recent battles, and their efficiency in scouting for enemies from the air surpassed that of other exploration teams, allowing them to level up faster than the average ant colonies.

The Demonic Ants, on the other hand, possessed skills such as the "Talent of Magic," which were currently of little use. Additionally, most of the enhancements they received from leveling up were aimed at increasing their Health Value Limit, Magic Value Limit, and intelligence attributes, rendering them weaker in combat compared to even the average Military Ant.

Given their scarcity, Lin Yu decided against sending the Demonic Ants into battle. Instead, she had them remain with Little Tear in the food storage, where they could level up by consuming raw meat.

The newly hatched ants of other species were assigned to various roles. With the Fourth Ant Nest already teeming with ants, some were even "dispatched" to other nests.

As for the recently hatched A Qualification and S Qualification ants, Little Liquor and Weak Sound, being from the relatively weaker Worker Ant and Weak Ant species, Lin Yu chose not to deploy them in combat.

Little Liquor had a particular aversion to raw meat. After a few meals, she would inevitably seek out Lin Yu, craving affection and the comfort of a meal prepared by Lin Yu herself. Sympathizing with her, Lin Yu usually obliged.

While Lin Yu cooked, Little Liquor watched with keen interest.

Her gaze made Lin Yu somewhat nervous, leading to a few mishaps and burnt dishes.

However, over the course of these few days, Lin Yu found herself growing quite fond of this daughter.

Besides her outgoing nature, Lin Yu noticed that Little Liquor shared her love for cleanliness and had a palate similar to that of an ordinary person.

…

Weak Sound, surprisingly, got along well with Lvzi.

Initially frightened by Lvzi’s "attack," Weak Sound found that she shared some similarities with Lvzi.

Like Lvzi, she couldn’t get close to Lin Yu.

Lvzi would faint from excitement if she got too close, whereas Weak Sound was simply too shy, preferring to observe Lin Yu from a distance.

Naturally, they noticed each other.

They even envied each other.

Lvzi envied Weak Sound for being able to approach their mom without fainting, while Weak Sound admired Lvzi’s boldness.

From initial observations to brief exchanges, as they conversed more, they found they got along well and gradually became familiar.

Then there were Purple Cloud and Purple Mist.

Unlike Weak Sound, who was close to Lvzi, the earlier "attack" by Lvzi seemed to have left a significant impact on them, so they rarely returned to the castle when Lvzi was present.

But once inside the castle, they would cling to Lin Yu, causing her some distress and leading her to abandon the idea of flying with them.

She found it challenging to manage her two somewhat mischievous and disobedient daughters, fearing they might fly too far if she rode on them.

…

Next was Darkling Stalker.

She joined the other Stealth Ants in hunting activities.

Unlike other ant tribes, she enjoyed "playing" with her prey; instead of delivering a swift kill when the prey was incapacitated, she would slowly torment it with her front legs and jaws.

Watching the prey’s struggles weaken and its cries fade, her bright silver eyes would gleam brighter, and only after she was satisfied would she deliver the final blow.

But often, before she felt satisfied, the prey would have already perished.

Perhaps due to this "bad habit" and her reserved nature, aside from Stealth One occasionally speaking to her, the other ants rarely interacted with her.

Darkling Stalker was becoming as unpopular as Lvzi.

Even Lin Yu was not exempt. Despite both being quiet, they should have gotten along better, but Lin Yu always felt something was off about this daughter. Being stared at by her sent chills down Lin Yu’s spine, as if she were being watched by a monster from a horror movie.

The only one who had a good relationship with Darkling Stalker was Magic Rainbow.

However, Magic Rainbow was close to many ants.

In just a few days, she had established good relationships with most of the A Qualification and B Qualification Ants in the Fourth Ant Nest.

This even included Lvzi and Army Lady.

She often used the pretext of discussing skills to interact with Lin Yu, which also led to her frequently being "attacked" by Lvzi.

However, she didn’t seem to mind; at least… it appeared that way on the surface.

After a few instances, Lvzi was very pleased and even started to call her "Sister Magic Rainbow" along with Weak Sound.

In the past few days, Army Lady has returned two or three times, each time bringing a wounded monster with her.

It was during those brief visits that we had short encounters.

Mom doesn’t actually dislike Sister Army Lady.

While you were away from the castle, I often heard Mom mentioning you.

…

Just a few conversations, a few words.

Although Army Lady was somewhat skeptical of what Magic Rainbow said, she felt a strong affection for her sister in her heart.
