Chapter 569 - Return (1)

Angela revealed a smile and said, "It's called cake, it's a delicacy from the human world."

"The humans made such a delicious thing?" The white haired girl turned to look at the cake for a bit before turning to look at Lin Fan with a doubtful gaze.

Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, Angela said, "It's not just that, the humans have made many other delicious things as well. The delicacies that they've made aren't things that we can compare to. The humans really have a special gift of creativity."

The white haired girl revealed a look of longing before suddenly asking, "Then can I go to the human realm as well?"

Angela didn't answer right away and turned to Lin Fan as she asked, "Can she?"

Lin Fan saw both of them looking at him with expectant looks and he didn't know what to say right away.

Technically, he did have another employee slot after he had upgraded the level of the shop, so he could bring her back if he did want to, but the problem was that he didn't want to.

First, he didn't want to use this precious employee slot on another spirit because he already had Angela. He wanted to see if there was any other special species from the other top grade cultivation realms that he could find to bring back with him since the more employees he had, the more allies he had in the future.

Second, it was because he didn't want this white haired girl interfering with his and Angela's private time.

He could see what kind of relationship the two of them had and he knew that with this relationship, she would be a big light bulb for them. If he wanted any alone time with her, he would have to find a "babysitter" for this white haired girl first.

But when he saw the way the two of them looked at him, especially with those eyes that were filled with hope, he couldn't bear to turn them down.

So he said with a sigh, "I still have another one of the contracts that you signed, so it's not a problem if it's another person."

Angela revealed a smile and was about to say something, but then Lu'er suddenly cut her off.

Lu'er came back and stood right in front of Angela, taking her hands as she said, "Young miss, I should be the one who goes to the human world with you."

One of the white haired girl's eyebrows twitched before she came forward to say, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm not worthy of going to the human world?"

Even though she was facing the aura of an expert that was stronger than her, Lu'er didn't back down as she said, "Sure you're stronger than me, but can you honestly say that you know the young miss better than me? Are you able to take care of her better than me?"

The white haired girl couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this.

That was right, she really couldn't take care of Angela as well as Lu'er since she had never been as close to Angela as her. She had always been too shy to say her true feelings, so she had hidden under a tough exterior which caused them to be apart for so long. She didn't even know what kind of things Angela liked, not to mention being able to take care of her.

However, after being surprised, she struck back with a strong tone and said, "Even if I can't take care of her, I can still protect her from anything that happens and that's more important than anything. Besides, there will be humans in the human realm, we can just ask them to take care of her, but who can protect her other than me? What if they ambush her again, would you be able to stop them?"

The two of them continued to argue for a few minutes, as their voices became louder and louder.

Finally, Lin Fan couldn't take it and said, "Stop arguing."

However, the moment he said this, he made the situation much worse. The two of them turned to him and said with fierce looks, "Stay out of this."

When Angela saw this, she knitted her brows as a bit of displeasure filled her heart. She was unhappy seeing them treat Lin Fan like this, so she said in a sharp voice, "Enough."

The two of them were surprised to hear Angela speaking in such a voice, but Lu'er quickly bowed her head and said, "Young miss, I'm sorry. I was too agitated."

The white haired girl didn't bow like Lu'er, but she still turned her head and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

Angela didn't say anything and just looked at Lin Fan, waiting for him to say something.

Lin Fan saw this and he gave a sigh before saying, "There's no point in arguing about this right now anyway, it's not like you're coming back with me right away."

The two of them were surprised by this before the white haired girl asked, "Why not? I want to eat the human food now."

Lin Fan looked at her and said, "Do you think that Angela is in any condition to move?"

The white haired girl was taken aback, but then she realized that Lin Fan was right. It wasn't like they would be going to the human realm just by themselves, they were mainly going because they wanted to be with Angela, so there was no point for them to go if she wasn't going yet.

Angela said, "I'm fine, I can go…"

Lin Fan looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "Stop. Stay. Be good."

Angela saw this and then leaned back down in the bed without saying anything. She pulled the blankets over her slightly to hide the blush that had appeared on her face.

When Lin Fan got serious like this, she didn't know why, but it always made her heart skip a beat.

After settling down, Lin Fan turned to the white haired girl and asked, "I never had the chance to ask, but what is your name?"

The white haired girl looked at him like he had asked a strange question before saying, "I don't have one."

Lin Fan was surprised by this answer and said, "You don't have a name?"

The white haired girl gave a shrug and said, "Names are for the weaker spirits, spirits like me and her are only addressed by our titles instead of names." As she said this, she pointed at Angela lying in the bed.

Lin Fan paused for a bit before saying, "Then how about I give you a name?"

The white haired girl looked at Lin Fan like he was crazy as she said, "Why would I want a name? Names are shameful things for lower grade spirits like her?" She pointed at Lu'er when she said this.

Lu'er lowered her head when she heard this and didn't dare refute it.

Lin Fan was surprised by this.

It seemed like that in this realm of spirits, names were considered a shameful thing…

Then he looked at Angela and thought, "Then why did she let me give her a name?"

Angela took this chance to say, "My name is Angela."

She couldn't stand seeing someone bully Lu'er, even if it was the white haired girl.

The white haired girl was taken aback by this before saying, "What are you saying? You're actually accepting the name that this human gave you?"

Angela knitted her brows when she heard this and she said, "His name is Lin Fan."

The white haired girl became a bit angry when she heard this, "Does that matter? Names are only for those who aren't strong enough to have titles, do we need names at our level?"

Angela relaxed her brows and she said in a calm voice, "While I've been traveling, I've learned many different things. Names aren't as shameful as you think they are, they are a record of the individual that you are. Titles are nothing more than representation of power, but they are passed down through generations and mean nothing to you. Names are different, they are a representation of you alone and not the power that you pass down. That is why I accepted this name, it's because it represents me and me alone."

The white haired girl fell into deep thought when she heard this. She could tell that there was profound meaning behind Angela's words, otherwise it would have been impossible to convince her with just this. They were so strong that even she had a slight desire to have a name…

The reason Angela was able to have such a strong conviction behind her words was because she had been listening to Momonga's stories.

She heard the stories of his past allies and the way he said their names, it was clear that the names represented much more than just a method of addressing someone, rather each of the names represented an individual that was to be remembered.

She wanted to leave a memory of her, especially with Lin Fan instead of just becoming a part of the title she held. A part that would be forgotten as soon as someone else inherited this title from her.

On the side, Lu'er had looked up at Angela with sparkling eyes that were filled with admiration.

What her big sister had said just now had struck a chord with her and it had left a deep impression on her.

After thinking for a bit, the white haired girl turned to Lin Fan and said, "How about you give me a name too?"
