After Henderson's explanation, Dai Li and the others calmed down, seeing that Mo Han didn't seem inclined to fight, and they stood beside Henderson, observing quietly.

The now-composed Mo Han turned to the panda and asked, "How did you end up here?" The panda just made muffled sounds, which Mo Han couldn't understand at all.

Mo Han thought to himself, Knowing it's from Earth is enough. Who cares how this panda got here? I'm so happy—finally, something I can talk to, even if it's just an animal.

Mo Han was already content, feeling the overwhelming emotion of an old friend meeting another after a long separation, tears welling up.

And so, Mo Han simply stood there, beginning a conversation with the panda about everything on Earth. It didn't matter if the panda could answer; Mo Han just felt he had so much pent-up conversation. Having been in this other world for two years, so many words had been bottled up inside, and speaking them out made Mo Han feel significantly better.

Finally, Mo Han asked, "Right, how did you end up in this valley?" The panda let out another series of whimpers and pointed with a finger behind it. Following the direction, Mo Han suddenly noticed a dense patch of thriving bamboo in the valley. Understanding dawned on him, and he smiled, saying, "You love eating the bamboo here, don't you? Is that why you stay?" The panda nodded eagerly, seemingly delighted that Mo Han could grasp its meaning.

Mo Han smiled too and added, "But this is where everyone walks through. If you occupy this space, it can easily cause misunderstandings. Are you willing to walk with me? I can find you plenty of bamboo to eat."

In his heart, Mo Han desperately wished this panda would agree to his proposal and stay with him.

Hearing Mo Han's question, the panda nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Mo Han happily exclaimed, "Great! From now on, I'll call you Xiao Han, how about that?" Hearing Mo Han's suggestion, the panda nodded in agreement.

Mo Han chuckled, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet my good friends. They are all my good friends, and they'll be your friends too from now on, and there are beautiful ladies among them too."

Mo Han had fully reverted to his playful nature. After speaking, he led Xiao Han towards Dai Li and the others.

Approaching Dai Li, she immediately threw herself into Mo Han's arms, crying, "You always do this! You scared me half to death every time."

Mo Han smiled in response, "But I'm fine now, right? I was just a little overexcited earlier."

Mo Han then laughed and said, "Alright, stop crying, or I'll drown in your tears, wifey."

Hearing Mo Han's teasing, Dai Li's face flushed bright red. She raised a hand and pinched him a few times before letting go triumphantly, laughing as she said, "That’s for scaring me! See if you dare to frighten me again next time."

The poor Mo Han was in so much pain his eyes teared up. He cried out loudly, putting on a wronged expression, "Are you trying to murder your husband, wifey?"

As soon as he said that, everyone burst out laughing, and Dai Li was so embarrassed she couldn't even lift her head.

At that moment, Mo Han noticed Anna standing nearby, her eyes red as she stared at him. He couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong, little girl? Do you cry easily too? Does Brother Mo Han need to give you a hug? Heh heh."

Mo Han had only casually bantered to cheer Anna up, but unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Anna actually threw herself into his arms, crying, "Brother Mo Han, you really scared me to death! You were crying so loudly just now; I was so frightened and worried about you, terrified something might have happened to you."

Holding Anna, who was weeping like a little rain cloud, Mo Han gave an awkward smile to the others. Seeing that Dai Li didn't seem angry, Mo Han relaxed and began to comfort her, "Silly girl, didn't I tell you before? I'm like a cockroach; no one born yet can bully me! Besides, you know my abilities, Brother Mo Han. Is there anything I can't handle? I might be low-key usually, but you should still trust me."

As soon as Mo Han finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Anna started smiling too. Realizing she was still in Mo Han's embrace, she quickly wriggled free and said, "Brother Mo Han, when were you ever low-key? Everything you do is done with great fanfare, as if you're afraid no one will know. You call that low-key?"

Mo Han asked sheepishly, "Was that so? Did that really happen?" Everyone nodded in unison, making Mo Han embarrassed as he said, "Well, I'll tone it down next time. Sigh, being a person is truly difficult."

Hearing his words, everyone collectively rolled their eyes at him.

Mo Han smiled at the group and announced, "Come, let me introduce you to my new little follower, Xiao Han." He then turned to the panda and said, "Xiao Han, come and say hello to everyone."

Xiao Han obediently made two soft sounds toward the group, looking incredibly adorable. Its natural appearance was already appealing, and now, acting so charmingly, it drew affection from the girls, who began happily teasing it. Only Xiao Mo, feeling neglected, let out unhappy roars of protest from the side, seemingly accusing the females of fickle preference.

Seeing this, Mo Han laughed and scolded, "Xiao Mo, you get jealous now? It's your own fault for being so lazy and greedy all the time, never exercising. Regretting it now?"

Hearing Mo Han, Xiao Mo could only let out muffled whines, as if throwing a tantrum, which made everyone laugh heartily.

Mo Han smiled, picked it up, and said, "Now you have a competitor. If you keep being lazy and don't try harder, everyone will like Xiao Han and not you anymore."

After Mo Han's words, Xiao Mo quickly nodded with whimpers, as if promising compliance.

Yun Xiang, watching from the side, laughed and said, "Come here, Xiao Mo, Big Sister will hold you."

Hearing Yun Xiang's call, Xiao Mo quickly broke free from Mo Han's embrace and ran into Yun Xiang's arms to snuggle. Seeing this, Mo Han exclaimed in mock outrage, "You little thing, you prioritize affection over friendship! That's really disloyal of you."

Hearing Mo Han, everyone laughed even harder.

At this point, Liu Qingyuan, who had been standing at the back, stepped forward and smiled at Mo Han, "Congratulations, young friend, on acquiring such a large helper."

Mo Han quickly replied, "Heh heh, pure coincidence, just coincidence."

Liu Qingyuan chuckled, "If it's that coincidental, I wish I could have a few more strokes of such rotten luck."

Hearing Liu Qingyuan, Mo Han scratched his head and said, "Hehe, maybe next time it'll be your turn, President Liu."

Then, Mo Han added, "I should have completed the mission by now, right? At least I've tamed this panda."

Liu Qingyuan said, "Panda? That's a strange name. So, young friend knew this strange beast; no wonder you could subdue it. Since you subdued it, it naturally counts as completing the mission. Don't worry, young friend, as soon as we return to the Mercenary Guild, I will immediately arrange for new medals for you all."
