Chapter 466 (1/2)

No one expected Nangong Sanba to have gone through so many incredible things in that short period of time. The goddess of luck had to be on his side, because it just so happened that he only went to challenge the vengeful spirit alone after Hao Ren and the rest came back from the other world. If he had been wounded two days earlier, even the most powerful occult skills on Earth could not have saved him. Nangong Wuyue was still in a different world at that time while Nangong Sanba’s movements required members of his family to lock on the right coordinates.

Regardless of the principle, it was not easy to explain how the demon hunters’ talents worked.

Hearing her brother’s encounter, Nangong Wuyue could not wait but ask, “Is the vengeful spirit still there? When did you fight with it?”

Nangong Sanba exhaled and said, “Yesterday. After the fight, I was wounded, but I was lucky to be able to escape into the wilderness. There, I held up for a night before setting up the needed array for spells and coming over to find you. The vengeful spirit should still be there. For some unknown reason, it looked like the vengeful spirit was trapped in that place.”

Nangong Wuyue suddenly got up. “I’m going!”

She glanced down at Hao Ren, feeling a little embarrassed. “Landlord…”

Hao Ren smiled when he saw the forthright siren suddenly becoming so prudish. He found it interesting, but he did not tease her. “I got it. Since I’m your guardian here, I’ll go with you.”

Nangong Wuyue nodded gratefully while Nangong Sanba glanced at Hao Ren with a strange expression on his face. “This is risky business. Furthermore, it’s my family’s business. You’re not obligated to be involved.”

Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, “Unfortunately, this is also part of my job.”

The vengeful spirit was not just one of the otherworldlings on Earth, it was also one of the most mysterious, being only second to the siren. And like the siren, Hao Ren did not find any races who corresponded with vengeful spirits in the Plane of Dreams. So, he had been planning from the very beginning, trying to get his hands on a sample to study. He wanted to know exactly what it was. Unfortunately, he never met one before as the thing came and went like a shadow, very much like Raven 12345. It was not like you could simply go out and catch one.

However this time, there was a ready-made sample, Hao Ren had no reason to give up the opportunity. Not to mention his relationship with the Nangongs, even if without this relationship, he would still go just to check it out by himself. In case thing was done neat and tidy, he might earn a month or two bonus or a few cartons of golden apples from Raven 12345.

Nangong Sanba had not a clue what was on Hao Ren’s mind. He only felt that this strange landlord who was running an unusual creature shelter was surprisingly big-hearted, and even to the point of unscientifically kind. So he was very curious as what Hao Ren was up to.

His eyes began to dart between Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue the mantis shrimp, trying to pick up some subtle hints that might indicate the goings-on between them. Apparently he thought a man who could be as big-hearted as this was either he had some kind of orientation problem, or something was going on between him and his sister.

The siren maiden flung her brother to the back of the sofa with her tail, the latter facepalmed and mumbled in the back. :I haven’t said say anything yet!”

“It wouldn’t be my tail that wag you if you’ve uttered it.” Wuyue swung her tail. “Do you want to experience the windmill of your childhood? If you say that crap again I’m going to let you experience the ‘thrill’ of being spun at maximum speed.”

Nangong Wuyue quickly beg for her mercy. Meanwhile, Hao Ren felt hapless and a little hurt. “Am I that unworthy?”

The siren maiden’s face suddenly looked a little odd. “No, you’re not… Hey! You guys have got off the subject! Now let’s get back to business, all right?”

“There’s no much to do recently,” Vivian clapped her hands, while pushed Hao Ren who was now impetuous to a side. “The goddess hasn’t given us any new mission, there’s no hurry to explore The Plane of Dreams while things about Y’zaks has also been resolved, we’re are free. I’ve had a few encounters with the vengeful spirit before, it’s kind of a strange creature. Given the opportunity, I’d also like to take a look at it again. Sanba, you would lead us there, wouldn’t you?”

“You all are going?” Nangong Sanba looked at them, seemingly a little confused.

Hao Ren counted with his fingers and said, “Me; Vivian who has experience, must go; both of you Nangongs; oh, and— Lily, stop shaking me, I know you’re going too! All right?”

The husky maiden grabbed Hao Ren’s arm and swung it back and forth as if if Hao Ren did not agree she was going to tear his arm down. Her tail whirred like a whirlybird, she had become restless after a few days at home.

As soon as Hao Ren nodded, Lily lunged at him and about to lick him like a lollipop. Hao Ren was shocked. But fortunately, or rather unfortunately, just when Lily opened her mouth, a small bat slapped her on her face as Vivian pulled her back by the tail. “Show some self-restraint! Even if the whole world knows you are a husky, don’t forget that you’re in human shape right now!”
