Chapter 1340 - Vivian’s Concern (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lily’s writing shocked everyone in the family. But she did not have a bit of self-consciousness. Lily even thought that her housemates were making a mountain out of a molehill. She had never hidden her scripts from others, but it was just that the family members had never paid attention to what she wrote because they never thought that the writings of the husky worth a look.

Now Hao Ren knew, Doggie was not dumb. Really. It was just that no one had paid attention to her when she used her noodle.

Never had Hao Ren expected the husky had turned his experience around the universe into a fantasy novel. He heard that Lily’s story was commanding quite a decent number of readership on some online platforms. Hao Ren felt it weird. What was even stranger was that the husky had been using the money she earned from her novel to pay for her room rental and commanded a moral high ground among the freeloaders in the family.

Hao Ren vacillated for a long time. He did not know what to make of it. Hao Ren could not stop Lily from writing. Instead, after reading her novel, Hao Ren began to think that Lily, the four-time graduate of Peking University, was a pretty good writer. He was nowhere near Lily’s level. It was a money-making opportunity that only young literati could master. But then again, having people record those stories on his behalf was not a bad thing after all, although Lily had become the protagonist instead of him, and it was a fantasy novel.

It was evening when they arrived home. After the hustle and bustle in the house, it was late at night. Silence returned to the house. When looking from the outside, only Lily’s room still had the light on. She was burning the midnight oil to clear her backlog. Two months without fresh updates had quite a severe consequence.

Hao Ren had wanted to compile his mission report but thought better of it when he looked at the clock. Having just completed an epic quest had wholly drained him. Hao Ren began to think of taking a vacation. So he hit the sack.

However, Hao Ren did not sleep well.

He had strange dreams again. In his dreams, Hao Ren vaguely saw Lockmarton’s fragmented soul and his early memories. And then the scene changed. He saw the goddess of creation launch the Seeds of Origin. He was tied to one of the seeds and flew into deep space, passing by the stars, taking root on a planet, and hatching the First Born. This further created the first Blood Tide, from which life multiplied. He began to observe the stars and sent out various signals for the goddess of creation. The scene changed again. Now it was darkness, an indescribable shadow that shrouded the entire galaxy. There was a beating red heart amid the shadow. He saw a goddess holding a pair of black swords lunging at the shadow. The goddess’ body became as large as the galaxy. After that, an explosion engulfed the goddess, and the shadow—the primordial energy of the universe—destroyed everything. The two figures at the center of the blast tangled, melted, and slowly disappeared, leaving behind groups of dark-red matter drifting in the dark. After a while, the sound of water rang in his ears. Hao Ren felt like he was standing by a river. The current was strong. Occasionally, water splashed up onto his face and felt cold.

The cooling sensation felt real. Hao Ren was jolted from his sleep and found that there was indeed water on his face.

He sat up and saw Lil Pea poking out from the pot on the bedside table. Her wet hair stuck to her face, her pair of beautiful eyes were reflecting the moonlight in the dark, and her tail fell back on the water with a splash.

“Lil Pea, go to sleep.” Hao Ren thought that the baby fish was disturbing him.

“Lil Pea was sleeping!” The little mermaid stirred the water. “But Daddy was sleeptalking!”

“I sleeptalked?” Hao Ren was startled. “What did I say?”

“I have no idea. It didn’t sound like a human voice,” the fish baby just told him whatever she heard.

“Not like a human voice.?” Hao Ren knew the little one did not lie. He knew he must have been sounding indistinguishable. What surprised him was not only that the dreams, but also the sleep-talking. Ever since Hao Ren became an inspector and had his body enhanced, he had excellent control over his body. Sleep-talking was a rare thing.

Hao Ren got to his feet and shook his head trying to clear his mind. He could no longer sleep.

He gently pressed the mermaid’s head and shove her back to sleep. After that, he put on a jacket and crept out of the room.

Coming to the living hall, it was dark. Moonlight was shining through an angle into the hall. It was not very bright but enough. Lily’s room was at the other end of the living hall. Light slipped through the gap under the door, and there was the tapping sound of the keyboard occasionally. Hao Ren shook his head and smiled.

It was a rare scene to see the husky was such hardworking.

Hao Ren did not want to wake the others up, so he did not hang around the living hall but instead slipped out of the back door to open ground at the back of the house.

It was a winter knight, where wilderness behind the house looked bleak, as vegetation had withered, leaving only a barren landscape and the dark shadows of the distant mountains. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground gave the illusion of frost and snow.

Hao Ren just wanted to stand quietly outside for a while before going back in. But he heard something flapping in the night sky.

This unconcealed noise was exceptionally loud under the silent night sky.
