Chapter 568 (2/2)

Hao Ren shook his head as cold sweat ran down his forehead. “I don’t fancy it… Don’t you find the noise too loud when you’re in werewolf form?”

With arms akimbo, Lily said, “I’m curious… Don’t you feel bored when you have no tail to bite?”

The MDT suddenly came out of nowhere and circled Lily curiously. “Oh, that’s interesting. All kemonomimis¹ here are four-channeled. I’ve heard that kemonomimis in other worlds are two-channeled. It’s a really big universe.”

Hao Ren was startled. “There are kemonomimis in the otherworlds?”

“Of course. They are a normal race created by God. Why can’t they breed everywhere?” The MDT scoffed at Hao Ren’s shallow knowledge. “The canis protector itself is a two-channeled nine-tailed fox.”

“…That’s a funny position among the Xi Ling Celestials!”

After breakfast, Y’zaks took his daughter out for a walk. Lily and Nangong Wuyue went out too. Hao Ren had nothing to do, so he stood up and said to the great demon, “Wang, I’ll go with you.”

Hao Ren conveniently passed Lil Pea to Nangong Sanba, who was immersed in making Letta rune cards at the coffee table. “Continue to impart demon-hunter knowledge into her. Don’t let her eat too many books. The ink will make her fat.”

Nangong Sanba nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve put together the tutorial materials. I can even teach the little one without any tools, but there’s something I want to tell you…”

Hao Ren saw Nangong Sanba’s hesitation, so he waved to him. “Whatever it is, please say it.”

“At present, I can still deal with the basic parts of teaching,” said Nangong Sanba, pointing to the little mermaid who was jumping on the table. “But, I guess my knowledge will soon be insufficient to teach the kid. She is highly gifted. Besides the fact that her small size is limiting her fighting power, she is actually a fast learner. She could memorize the Letta tunes with just one glance, she’s now better than me at controling her mind power, and she learned the Second Sight skill on her own. She’s a genius, and my half-baked skills won’t be enough to teach her in two months.”

Hao Ren scratched his chin. “What can we do? After all, she derived her strength from the Sacred Relic of Origins. In theory, she has the earliest demon hunter bloodline in her. I guess no one else is purer in ancestry and more talented than her except your ancestors.”

“The demon-hunter is a race that values the bloodline. Although hard work may also create miracles, the role of congenital pureblood cannot be underestimated,” said Nangong Sanba, shaking his head finally admitting his inadequacy. “I won’t be able to teach her soon.”

Hao Ren looked at Nangong Sanba. “What’s your suggestion?”

“Find a more suitable teacher as soon as possible. A professional demon hunter, not necessarily a purebred one, but at least one with complete knowledge and heritage. Or else, it’ll be a waste of this child’s great talent.”

Hao Ren thought for a moment, then something crossed his mind. “Wait a second, isn’t Lil Pea just a foot long?”

“Yes.”

“…She can learn all she wants, but what’s the point? Only to slap people in their faces?” Hao Ren could not help but laugh. “Right now, just teach her how to control her abilities. I don’t expect much from her anyway. I honestly don’t think she can beat anyone other than overpower the vengeful spirit with her singing.”

“…Maybe you’re right,” Nangong Sanba responded.
