Since meeting Lily and learning about her husky nature, Hao Ren never expected the maiden’s life to be logical. It was especially true after he found that Lily would shapeshift after eating Spicy Sticks. But no matter how imaginative Hao Ren was, he could not believe his eyes when Lily actually succeeded in learning a new skill via “self-studying.”
She managed to reproduce the Doggoblast while she played the water-spitting game with Lil Pea.
“Ahh, Mr. Landlord!” Lily finally noticed that Hao Ren was there. She jumped up at Hao Ren and wagged her tail excitedly. “Did you see that, Mr. Landlord? I did it!”
“I’ve been standing here for like half a decade. What do you think?” Hao Ren massaged his forehead with his fingers.
“That’s impossible!” Lily was wide-eyed. “I have sensitive senses. If you were here, I would have sensed it.”
Deciding not to argue with the husky, Hao Ren turned to Lil Pea, who was clapping her tail trying to impress him. “So, you two were testing the Doggoblast just now, eh? Well, I mean Sky… roar… or something.”
Lily nodded matter-of-factly.
“You could learn that from a mermaid?” Hao Ren still couldn’t accept it.
“Yeah, why not. There is logic in it!” Lily looked serious. “Water spitting is just a physical movement. The most important thing is to increase concentration by using physical movements. The shot I fired at Lockmarton was an accident. I didn’t have time to figure out what happened. So I had to find an external factor to help me recall the ‘mouthfeel’ of that time.”
Hao Ren was struck dumb by Lily’s theory. Alas, he still refused to believe the husky. But he was dead sure of one thing—this false theory was only possible when applied to Lily.
“Let’s not talk about the ‘mouthfeel’ first. Do you know what this energy beam is all about? From where did you learn this skill?”
Hao Ren was worried that Lily might have undergone some mutation after spending some time in Collow. The Doggoblast skill seemed like an excellent addition to her abilities, but there could be a hidden downside behind it.
Lily rolled her eyes and thought for a moment. She then knocked her fist and said, “It must be my daily work out!”
Hao Ren was struck dumb.
Looking for reliable information from Lily was indeed not a good idea. The husky had even reincarnated into a wrong body; that was how messed up she was. It seemed that it was high time to give Lily a full body checkup.
“Mr. Landlord, are you looking for me?” Lily suddenly asked.
“I come to tell you that it’s time to go home. We have been away from home for nearly two months,” Hao Ren said with a smile.
Lily was excited to hear that. She jumped two meters in the air and exclaimed, “Arf! Arf! Finally, we can go home!”
Lily’s reaction was somewhat out of her character. Hao Ren was stunned. He asked, “Isn’t husky like to go out? You seem different now.”
“Come on, who could stand it after two months of wandering?” Lily was too excited to argue with Hao Ren. She grabbed Hao Ren’s arm and hurried him. Let’s go, let’s go. I want to go home. I miss my bed.”
After almost two months away from the earth, Hao Ren and his buddies finally returned to their home in Southern Suburbs.
The palace of Taros, the sacred sanctuary of Sanctum, and all the magnificent buildings did not feel as safe and warm at home. At least at home, they did not have to worry about the monsters that came out of nowhere.
As they pushed the door open, Hao Ren was surprised to find that the amount of dust in the house was significantly less than that of an abandoned house for two months. Hao Ren was sure that he had brought everyone in the home the last time he departed. “Did someone clean the house while we were away?”
“We felt it bored after spending some times outside. There was nothing that we could do onboard the spaceship except reading, playing a card game and such. So during the two months, we had come back several times.” Nangong Wuyue said with a smile on her face. “But later, when we didn’t receive news from you, we didn’t have the mood to come back again. So dust began to build up later. Perhaps I should do some serious cleanup now.”
While saying, the siren maiden form-shifted into an octopus—the upper body of a girl and the octopus tentacles on the lower body. Hao Ren was wide-eyed. Nangong Wuyue started working with each ‘hand’ holding a cleaning cloth.
“When did she start to change into this thing?” Hao Ren asked.
“Doggie said octopus could do clean the floor more efficiently,” Vivian said. “Don’t you think so?”
