Chapter 1055 - Silent Night (2/2)
Though they were no longer at loggerheads with each other like that used to be, they did still fight like cat and dog sometimes over some trivial matters. Perhaps they were used to this kind of interaction, or even turning it into a hobby.
To Hao Ren, this was a common sight. He used to get himself involved in their quarrels in the past, but since knowing the two were only NATO—no action, talk only—he let sleeping dogs lie ever since.
Lil Pea waved her hands and cheered the two elder sisters. Though she did not know what was happening between them, she thought it was awesome to join the fun.
After the bat and the husky went at it hammer and tongs for a while, Hao Ren could not help but muttered, “Looks like you two are on good terms now.”
The two superwomen said unanimously, “Who’s on good terms with her?”
“Fatal Attraction.” Hao Ren guffawed and sighed. “If this isn’t fatal attraction, I don’t know what it is.”
He looked at both of them, who used to be good friends 6,000 years ago. But because of the Godslayer, one of them died in the hand of the other. But fate had it that after 6,000 years, the reincarnated Lily met Vivian again and they both became foes.
“Fate is a b*tch,” Hao Ren lamented as he held Lil Pea in his hands and gazed up at the stars.
Lily could hear the emotions hidden behind Hao Ren’s words. She instinctively exchanged a look with Vivian and thought about her historical morass with Vivian. She did not rebut anymore, surprisingly.
“I’m making you some mind-soothing soup,” Vivian suddenly said to Hao Ren. “It might not be able to solve your nightmare problem, but at least it could make you sleep well.”
Lily chimed in enthusiastically. “Let me help you out!”
“No, you’d only ruin it. Just say it if you’re hungry, it’s not like I don’t let you eat.”
“Then I will help you eat. Please make me a pancake, and you’re welcome.”
“Look how cheeky you are!”
“A vegetarian pancake will do.”
The two maidens turned around and headed back into the house while going at it hammer and tongs, leaving Hao Ren under the moon staring blankly at the night sky. After a long while, he smiled. “Living life like this is still the best, isn’t it, Lil Pea?”
The little mermaid held his arm and nodded solemnly. “Perhaps, Lil Pea.”
Quivering in the cold air, the little guy snuggled back under Hao Ren’s jacket. “Daddyyy, it’s cold, I want hot water.”
Hao Ren smiled. Holding the baby fish under his jacket, he went back into the house. “Vivian, could you please boil some hot water… Err, wait a minute. Let’s save the trouble. Why not just wait for the soup to boil and then throw Lil Pea inside.”
Outside, the moon was glowing even brighter.
