Chapter 254 (2/2)

“No. I have to control myself. People are suffering here, I can’t allow myself to be immersed in pleasure.” Lily suddenly got serious. She was not in the mood. She approached the window, looking out. “They’re clearing the Royal District now. Landlord, could you please pass me the spicy strips. I just finished mine.”

“You should eat a proper meal.” Hao Ren took out a few packs of spicy strips from his Dimensional Pocket. Lily took them and walked into her room. A loud noise came from afar, then a Royal Guard came in hurriedly. “A giant, white monster just jumped off from this level. It’s scaling the wall in front of the shield. Do you know what it is?”

Hao Ren fell off his chair. He now realised why Lily asked for the spicy strips when she saw the street-clearing work in the Royal District beneath them; the fidgety husky felt the need to help and she shapeshifted.

They scurried to the window. At the edge of the Royal District, they saw a three-storey-tall husky scrambling left and right, up and down, trying to get away from a group of halpless elves who were encircling her. Both were in a stalemate. The naive maiden always dived in headfirst—probably due to eating too many spicy strips. She could only bark like a dog in her transformed body. There was no way the guards were going to understand her. Worry filled Vivian’s face. She spread out her wings and attempted to go. “I’m going after her. She may get into even bigger trouble in her shapeshifted form.”

Hao Ren quickly reminded her, “Go to her room and check if she left her clothes. Bring it to her.”

Vivian had taught Lily how to not spoil her clothes during shapeshifting, but Lily had not mastered it. So, Vivian had to follow with her clothes wherever Lily went. During the last few times she shapeshifted, Lily did it in the wasteland behind their house whenever she felt like getting some fresh air during the full moon. As such, she did not cause any trouble to those around. That aside, Hao Ren noticed an interesting thing: the two did not seem to like each other very much, and fought like cats and dogs at times; apart from that, they appeared more like friends than foes, Hao Ren thought.

The elven guard who came in was dumbstruck. Hao Ren tried to explain with a hollow smile. “That’s our friend. She would like to help clear the streets.”

The elven guard left in confusion; the mind of another good lad was destroyed by the arational creature. Hao Ren did not have time to lament because the voice of Raven 12345 came into his head. “Whoa, it seems you’re doing very well over there.”

Hao Ren instantly became nervous. “Thanks to the administration…”

He knew Raven 12345 would eventually call after she saw the report.

“Save it. Where the hell did you learn that from?” Raven 12345 sounded like she was in a good mood though. “I’ve read your report. You’re pretty broad-minded. In fact, I knew you were going to evacuate the entire elven race, but I didn’t expect you to bring them over to my place—and hell, you actually still remember that planet.”

“That’s…”

“Approval granted. It’s not a big deal. Since you can already handle it yourself using help from civilians, I don’t have to send a colonial fleet. And this will be kept as a Category-E operation. As long as the operation doesn’t go against civilisation preservation, everything’s negotiable. Regulations of the Macroworld are a lot more lax now compared to the past. The MDT must have taught you about this, am I correct? Navigating loopholes in the regulations and incident laws is beyond the ability of a rookie.”

Hao Ren glanced at the MDT—it shut ifself off and lay on the table, pretending to be a coaster.

It was the first time Hao Ren felt that the MDT was awesome.
