Chapter 116 (1/2)
Nangong Wuyue adapted to the new environment faster than Hao Ren expected. In fact, she had successfully mingled with Lily the next day. Of course, the dim-witted and highly easy-going nature of a husky which allowed her to make friends instantly with anybody was also the important reason.
Early in the morning, as usual, Hao Ren was holding a magazine and lying on the couch in the living room to kill time. Vivian was preparing breakfast for everybody in the kitchen. Lily had already started to chat about stories of traveling outside with May, and they are both very harmonious. Lily was holding a book that looked quite old and pointing to the older picture. “You see, this was me wearing a cheongsam, it was popular back then!”
Hao Ren scratched his head and leaned forward to have a look at it curiously. It was a blurred black and white picture on the yellowed sheet. This was the kind of very nostalgic round frame picture. A young girl in a cheongsam stood neatly in the middle of the frame, with a sweet smile on her face. She had a kind of bookishness in her quiet. This was how Lily looked like when she was not talking. She got that literary vibe when she was quiet, but turned into a husky once she started talking.
Hao Ren looked surprisingly at this old book which was almost considered a relic, “Ah, I can hardly recognize it.”
“I’m really awesome.” Lily licked Hao Ren’s fingers and turned her head proudly. “Wuyue Wuyue, did you take any souvenirs or something like that when you travelled? I rarely go abroad…”
Nangong Wuyue smiled, slightly shook his head and said, “Siren just like to travel, but we don’t like to take away anything from that place. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, having seen it once is good enough. There is no need to bring it along. It’ll be very tired if we do so.”
Hao Ren’s mind was blank for a few seconds. He looked at his index finger which was covered in saliva, feeling that ever since Lily knew that she was actually a husky, she was slowly giving up on concealing her nature. It felt like she just gave up trying and let it be. Just now, he also saw Lily squatting on the ground and lifting her feet to scratch her face. Hao Ren would never surprise if one day she ran to catch the mouse.
At this time, Vivian’s voice was coming from the kitchen. “Wash your hands! The meal is ready!”
Lily took Wuyue’s hand, skipping and jumping to the kitchen. Hao Ren and Y’zaks looked at them at the back and said, “Looks like this dumb girl finally found a new friend besides dog.”
At the table, Nangong Wuyue was amazed by Vivian’s good cooking skill again. She was amazed by Vivian’s skill last night, and now she still found it a little unbelievable. As a normal siren, she could hardly imagine how Vivian, the senior blood clan, learned so many cooking methods of human food. And Lily was gnawing at the bone. The crunching noise was exceptionally loud. She stopped trying to behave properly after being familiar with everyone. She was a little reserved for the first few days when she first came here and trying not to make a sound while eating. However, now everybody knew Lily was a husky. She could finally boldly reveal her nature confidently.
“Do you want to go to Raven’s office two days later?” Vivian was biting the chopsticks. “And ask about the demon hunters.”
When Hao Ren was about to nod, he heard a ‘crack’ coming from the chair of Nangong Wuyue. The siren’s body shook slightly and almost fell down. “Demon hunters? You mean there are demon hunters in this place?”
Vivian thought Nangong Wuyue was frightened, so hurriedly comfort her. “No worries, we got strong fighting power. And we have a Goddess as our backing. The demon hunters can’t harm us.”
“But we got into a fight yesterday and we’re almost killed,” mumbled Lily while gnawing on a bone.
“For the first time in my life that I’ve seen a real hunter, a horrible bunch of guys… Have you seen them before?”
Of course Nangong Wuyue looked worried and said, “Errr, how to say… I’ve dealt with them before, and I’ve been dealing with them a lot of times, which is really troublesome… So are we really safe here? Is there any chance that the demon hunters will suddenly find us?”
As the landlord and guardian here, suddenly Hao Ren felt a sense of mission well up in his heart and said, “Don’t you worry about this! I’m a professional apprentice of the temporary team at the village level office of the Space Administration anyway. Can’t I guarantee your safety?”
The words Hao Ren said was so powerful that everybody felt like checking out on the spot for their safety after listening to Hao Ren, …
“Don’t worry.” In the end, it was Y’zaks the big brother who calm everybody’s mind. “I know roughly how powerful that background is behind our landlord. Although it’s not clear that how they will deal with the problems in this planet, they’ll at least protect the safety of the people in this house. Haha, to be frank, it seems to me that the hunters here are just some little problems that are much easier to deal with than the human braves.”
“Eza… zaks right?” Nangong Wuyue could not really remember the strange name of the big demon. “I heard that you’re from another world? And landlord, you said you’re under a Space Administration? And Vivian and Lily, you two seem to have stories as well… I’m actually quite curious, what kind of team are you?”
