Chapter 166 (2/2)
“Roll off!” Nangong Wuyue kicked Nangong Sanba on his leg. She was red in the face. “That’s just too ridiculous! Don’t you see it’s just a fish?”
Suddenly, a black and white cat darted downstairs, circling around and meowing at Nangong Wuyue: it heard its name being called.
Nangong Wuyue was exasperated. “I didn’t call you!”
Hao Ren covered his face with both hands and rested his head on the table. He wished he was dead instead of having to deal with all the confusion; things got really messy…
When Nangong Sanba came last night, he did not meet Lil Pea because she was sleeping in the room. When he saw Lil Pea today, he got himself confused. It took Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue a lot of explanation to clear the confusion over Lil Pea’s origin. But, they never mentioned that she came from another planet. They just told Nangong Sanba that Hao Ren found a strange egg on the beach while on vacation and bla bla bla…
Initially, Nangong Sanba was like what-the-f**k-you-must-be-kidding but, Nangong Wuyue managed to ‘convince’ him with appropriate actions.
And lunch was spoiled.
“You guys have just wrecked lunch.” Seeing the snow flake-covered food on the table made her heart ache. But, she never realized that it was her doing. “I should’ve known there wouldn’t be good things coming from a demon hunter.”
Lily was the only one still enjoying the cold food. Her ancestors probably got the same, cold food too when they pulled sleighs in the Arctic. Frankly, Hao Ren half envied her dim-witted nature.
“We’re sorry. It’s our fault,” The two elders apologized for their overreaction, which almost caused things to go out of hand. Bluphlei looked at Vivian; he wanted to get a confirmation regarding her decision on The Day of Return. “Countess, are you interested in The Day of Return? If it appears to be true.”
Werewolves had a frank personality. They would not mince their words no matter what, where and when.
“I know why you’re here—you want to know whether I’d make a come back on The Day of Return?” Vivian raised one of her eyebrows. “Go home. I’m not interested in it at all. I’m also not interested in joining any of the Blood Clan’s activities. As long as you lot continue to leave me alone, I won’t go and find trouble with the werewolf race. You may continue to find your own members and expand your influence. I could care less. This is all you want to hear, isn’t it?”
The two elders exchanged looks. They did not expect the countess to be so forthright. Bluphlei still seemed doubtful. “You wouldn’t be interested even if other in the Blood Clan are preparing for The Day of Return?”
“No.” Vivian glanced at Hao Ren discreetly. The two elders did not notice it. “I’ve got better things to do. The world’s a big place.”
The elders did not understand the meaning behind this. They thought the countess just liked travelling, get-togethers and to be with humans. They rose to their feet. “We are leaving now. There’s still a lot work to be done back home. And we’re happy to see that the countess is fine. We’ll tell our members.”
Vivian also got to her feet. Her smile was halfhearted as she shoved the elders out of the door.
“What a shame! I was hoping you could stay a while longer and have some dim sum…”
Hao Ren sighed: Vivian was just too fake.
After the elders left, Hao Ren and Vivian exchanged looks before they spontaneously said, “The Plane of Dreams!”
