Chapter 1389 - Lorrisa’s Reception (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Lily moved into the house, the furniture, doors, and windows of the house would break every now and then, and with that, Lily’s carpentry skills improved. After all, working as a freelance veterinarian and an unpopular writer, she could not earn enough to pay for the damages that she caused. So Lily could only depend on and improve her carpentry. The husky maiden looked up and saw that the burglar-proof door had been imprinted with a big face of her landlord. Not only was there was a vivid facial imprint but also a hand print. In this somewhat abstract “art”, lay the resistance and helplessness of the landlord. The husky’s ears drooped as she began to fix the door reluctantly.
The husky’s door-repairing skill was unique. Lily required no tools, only her bare hands. She knocked both sides of the door with her hands to impress it. Even the decor patterns were quickly flattened. She had “fixed” the door using the same way many times. The door panels were now as smooth as mirrors.
Lorissa followed Hao Ren and walked into the “Pope’s Palace.” It was unlike what she had imagined. She first saw a large living room with strange furnishings, several doors, and an upward staircase, which likely led to the other rooms and second floor. On a low cabinet on the other side of the living room, a square and flat device showed the vivid image of a smiling woman. She was holding a colorful bag and saying, “This is our recommended cat food for cats two years of age and above…”
On the coffee table at the center of the living room, the cat girl was sitting on the table, staring at the screen with concentration. Saliva was dripping from her mouth onto the floor. But as soon as the dumb cat discovered that Hao Ren had come back, she immediately turned and came down from the table. Scurrying up to Hao Ren, the dumb cat pulled him by the arm and said, “Big Boss Cat, I want that, I want that, please buy me that now!”
The dumb cat pointed at the cat food commercial on the TV and her eyes were gleaming with light.
“Go away. You just bought many cans. Did you eat those?” Hao Ren pushed the dumb cat’s claws away. “I have said it many times—don’t squat on the coffee table while watching TV!”
Vivian, who was in the kitchen, heard the commotion in the living hall. She poked out behind the door. “You are, Hao Ren! Is this Lorissa?”
“Hello everyone,” Lolissa greeted as she looked at those guys in the living room. She bowed as a sign of respect with a smile. With the flick of her hand, Lorissa drew a rune in the air to lift her magic spell, and she was restored to her original appearance of long white hair and long elven ears. “Hao Ren said that it is best to put on a disguise while outside to avoid unnecessary attention. But it should not be a problem while inside here, I guess?”
As soon as her voice trailed off, Lorissa saw Nangong Wuyue staggering down the stairs in an octopus form. Every tentacle had a rag, which Nangong Wuyue used to clean the stair railing and steps. Sparing two arms, she waved at Lorrisa. “It doesn’t matter how you look in the house. No one looks like a human here.”
Y’zaks looked up from the newspaper and said, “I do maintain a human form at home.”
“You are the least qualified to claim this. You still look like an alien while in human form.” Hao Ren said casually. He then looked for the little demon girl. “Y’zaks, where is your daughter?”
“She is fixing my tricycle in the backyard,” Y’zaks smirked. He could not care less if Hao Ren was mocking him just now. He had been used to it anyway. “Why?” he asked back.
“Let the Y’lisabet learn some form-shifting skill from Lorrisa since she here these few days. It would save Y’lisabet the trouble of having to wear contact lenses and hat, and tuck her tail every time she goes out.” Hao Ren took off his jacket, threw it to Rollie, and walked to the sofa. “You should change your ride. Having to drag a cartload of electrical stuff around every day makes me feel sad for the trishaw. Rollie! I was asking you to hang up my jacket, not sleep on it!”
“Isn’t it the same to learn from me? I am prepared to teach her soon.” Y’zaks forced a smile.
“You? Forget it. I have not seen her learning anything else except Demonic Flame from you. And please look in the mirror, do you think your form-shifting skill good enough?” Hao Ren rolled his eyes.
Y’zaks thought for a moment and could not help but admit it.
Lorissa looked on with curiosity at the interaction of this family. She was all smiles all the time. Unlike the cold smile when she was in Holletta, her smile this time seemed to be full of warmth. Lily noticed this after she finished fixing the door. As always, the husky maiden did not mince her words. “What are you smiling at?”
“Nothing, just feeling good.” Lorissa blinked. “I thought I would be brought to a heavily guarded church or palace at first. Never in my imagination that a pope was living in such a lively place. It is beyond words and much better than what I have thought.”
