Chapter 114 (1/2)

An unknown girl stood in front of the gate. This was not how Hao Ren imagined things.

She was wearing a loose sweater which clearly did not fit her small frame. Her skin was a little of the darker hue, her features were accordingly petite but had an energetic look to it and her hair tied into a neat ponytail. She was what you would say drop dead gorgeous, but she had a cuteness to her.

She saw Hao Ren by the door and waved at him. “Hello, is this the Hao residence?”

Hao Ren snapped out of his stupor and replied hurriedly. “Ah yes… I’m Hao Ren, and you are?”

“I’m Nangong Wuyue!” The girl by the gate let out a sweet smile and headed over a card to Hao Ren. “You’re a landlord right? I’m here to rent a room!”

Hao Ren had neglected to take a look at the card as he was thinking on how should he decline the girl and to send her on her way. She seemed to had saw the advertisement that he had put out a month ago. At then, Hao Ren was of course delighted to have a new tenant, but not now, not with the bunch of people at home. The house was pretty much off limits to humans when Lily first moved in!

“Ugh… about that.. I’m sorry. My place is currently all booked out…” Hao Ren cooked up an excuse on the fly. He also rued the fact that the advertisement that was placed so long ago had still managed to attract a prospective tenant, which caused no end of troubles now. As he was about to continue speaking, Vivian who had heard someone talking aside popped her head out to check. “Mr Landlord, who’s that outside?”

“Someone who’s looking for a room to rent.” Hao Ren turned towards Vivian, his voice loud on purpose. “Haven’t we rented out all the rooms?”

“That’s not right…” Wuyue frowned. “I was told that there are only three tenants in the place. And the rest of the rooms are reserved for supernaturals. Am I wrong on that account?”

Hao Ren was just about to cook up another excuse before he caught that Wuyue said. Taken aback, he said, “Wait.. what did you just say? You just said supernatural didn’t you… Did Raven sent you here?”

“Yes, she did!” Wuyue nodded. “She even appeared in my dreams for the past month to tell me this, and that’s why I believed that I had a place to stay here. Besides, a big blue person gave me this card when I arrived in town a few days ago. The one you are holding on to now.”

Hao Ren was perplexed and looked at the card. He realised that it was starting to give out a faint blue light, and out of nowhere, Raven 12345’s name appeared on the card. “Dear Hao Ren. The one holding onto this card will be your new tenant. Her name is Nangong Wuyue. Please arrange a clean and cosy room for her. Her expenses can be claimed from next month onwards. From, your boss.

As Hao Ren finish reading the message, the card exploded into a bright blue light and slowly dispersed into the air. It seems that crazy Goddess does have some artistic sense.

“So…No problem right?” Wuyue smiled cheerfully at Hao Ren. “Have a room now?”

After taking a short moment to process all the details, Hao Ren nodded. “Yes, yes. Please come in. Do you need help with that?”

Hao Ren noticed the two big luggage bags behind Wuyue, and by the looks of things they seem rather heavy. Wanting to be a good caretaker and a gentleman, he stepped forward to help, only to see Wuyue lifted the two bags like it was stuffed with feathers and walked into the house. Wew, she seems like another sack of muscles like Lily. Speaking of which, Hao Ren was envious at the supernatural strengths and ability these supernaturals had. They seem no different than your average human, but the gulf in raw strength alone, even for the likes of Vivian who had no use for brute force was brutally wide.

Lily and Y’zaks were pre-occupied with the television in the living room. When the petite girl stepped into the house with her luggage in tow only did they reacted with curiosity.

Lily who was lazing on the sofa, bend her neck as much as she could to take a glimpse at Hao Ren, her want for clarification was evident on the face. As Hao Ren caught her look, he signaled to Wuyue to set her luggage down first. Following that, he gave a loud clap to attract the attention of all in the room. “Ahem, while this is rather sudden… Raven had sent another new tenant to stay here. This is Nangong Wuyue. She’ll be staying within from now on.”

“Wah!” Lily screamed as she rolled off the sofa. She quickly scrambled to her feet and leapt towards Hao Ren’s side. “Really?”

“It’s not like you don’t know how that crazy Goddess operates. Her whim is her fancy.” Hao Ren had a rather helpless look on his face as he shrugged. “I too felt it was too sudden. But she did had a letter from Raven… Oh ya, MDT, please run a verification check.”
