Chapter 672: A Day At The Zoo [Part 1]
"Hahaha! Derek, is that you?" Erica laughed out loud, holding her stomach. "What are you doing inside a cage?"
The girls couldn't help but giggle as they looked at the monkey looking at them from the cage, holding a toy sword in its hand.
Erica immediately thought of Derek when she saw the monkey, making her burst out in laughter.
Of course, she was just teasing the Swordsman, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud because she found it really funny.
Hearing Erica's words, Derek's face darkened. He had just been compared to a monkey, and the rest laughed along, making his cheeks feel as if they were burning.
They had entered the park a few minutes ago, and the first area that they visited was the Monkey's Playground, which led to the current situation.
Even Roland and Joshua chuckled at the same time, enjoying Derek's embarrassment.
Only Mikhail, who was good-natured by heart, didn't gloat, and he only watched this scene with a faint smile on his face.
Shasha didn't laugh at Derek either, but her eyes were filled with mirth as she looked at the monkey playing with the sword in its hand.
Wanting to get back at Erica, Derek also laughed out loud as he pointed at another cage, which made Erica almost choke on her laughter.
"Is that you, Erica?" Derek said in a teasing tone. "I didn't know that you're also red down there."
The Swordsman was looking at a red-butt Baboon that was scratching its buttocks.
This time, Roland and Joshua roared in laughter.
Both of them found this exchange of barbed words so amusing. However, their laughter only grew louder when they saw Erica's face turn beet red, making Derek follow up his words like "Oh no! Her butt is becoming redder by the minute!"
A second later, the two started fighting against each other.
Of course, it was more like a playful fight, with Erica one-sidedly trying to punch and kick the hateful Swordsman, who was avoiding her attacks with ease.
After experiencing so many hardships from Thirteen's training, these pitiful attacks wouldn't land on Derek's body even if he had his eyes closed.
Since Zion didn't want the swordsman anywhere near his sister, Derek decided to get close to Mikhail so that he could put in some good words to Shasha for him.
Of course, Thirteen could read what his disciple was thinking. However, he didn't make any move to stop him.
Derek was only one of the many admirers of his sister. If he had to worry about every one of them, he would have no time for other matters.
Taiga and Kane Stallard were at the forefront among Shasha's countless pursuers. There were even rumors that the prodigy of the Ashford Clan, Clark Ashford, had said that Shasha was a very fine young lady whom he didn't mind making his First Wife. Regardless of whom Shasha would fall in love with in the future, Thirteen's only wish was that the man would be an outstanding person who would love and care for her for the rest of
her life.
Cynthia pondered for a while before deciding to join Sherry and Zion's group.
She had already seen that the youngest among the ladies was especially close to Zion, even holding his hand as if not wanting to separate from him.
However, a glance was enough to make her understand that Zion also cared for Sherry in his
own way.
But this kind of care and affection was similar to that of an older brother taking care of his little sister.
Sherry suggested going to the Petting Area since she had always wanted to pet some cute and harmless animals.
Thirteen didn't oppose this idea, so they made their way to the Petting Area, which was called
Paradizoo.
However, the moment they entered the small farm, they saw two familiar little girls. They were petting a piglet whose entire body was shaking uncontrollably.
A look of surprise appeared on Stella's face, not expecting that her sisters would appear in the zoo at this point in time.
Still, she felt happy. It had been a while since she last saw her two adorable sisters, who liked to sneak out of their home and go to places that even their Papa had trouble going to. "Fufufu! This piglet is so cute," the pink-haired girl said with a smile. "I think some salt and pepper will work wonders for it."
"Cinnamon thinks that roasted suckling piglet is good," another pink-haired girl commented as she lovingly brushed the piglet's smooth fur with her hand, making its body shake uncontrollably. "Little piggy, thank you for the meal."
Thirteen, Stella, and Sherry exchanged a glance before the two of them walked towards Maple and Cinnamon, whom they hadn't seen in the past few months.
