A large group of small bats formed a dark cloud-like shadow under the night cover. With a slapping sound, the small bats gathered together and condensed into the appearance of Vivian. She was arranging her clothes while looking at Hao Ren and Hao Ren curiously.
Lily, I don’t know why these two were out in the middle of the night without sleeping.
As a vampire...at least one who considers herself to be a vampire, Vivian has a very regular and strange routine, that is, she works energetically throughout the day, then walks energetically outside for most of the night, and finally in the shadow force
She went back to take a short nap during the strongest few hours, which was enough to maintain her vitality around the clock. Hao Ren once curiously asked about the real vampires in the Athens asylum, so he knew the bat spirit's routine very well.
The pattern is strange even among vampires: it’s okay if she’s not afraid of the sun during the day, but the second half of the night when she sleeps is the most energetic time for a normal vampire...
With this routine that doesn't go with anyone, I don't know how this sister has been able to firmly regard herself as a vampire in the past thousands of years... It's probably the same as Lily's ability to always firmly regard herself as a werewolf.
Just a principle.
When Lily saw Vivian coming back, she waved her hand casually as a greeting and pointed to the moon above her head: "I can't sleep, so come out and bask in the moon."
"It's a full moon..." Vivian looked up and shrugged, "It's quite pretentious for a husky. What are you doing, Hao Ren?"
"I have a nightmare, I can't sleep," Hao Ren said with a smile, and pointed at Doudou who was waving his little arms at his collar to greet Vivian, "Then if the little guy insists on coming out to look at the stars, I will take him
Let her come out and get some air."
"Stay up late at night," Vivian muttered with her hands on her hips, completely unaware of the fact that she had just flown around in a wide circle. Then she looked at Hao Ren curiously, "Nightmare? What are you doing now?
Are you still having nightmares?"
"So I suspect it was not just a dream." Hao Ren didn't hide anything, and immediately told all the weird scenes he saw in his dream. When he was chatting with Lily just now, he didn't explain his dream in detail. The main reason
It's because he doubts what results an Erha can help him analyze...
"With your current soul strength, you can still have such a dream... There is something strange indeed," Vivian yawned and was about to go back to the house to sleep. At this time, she immediately became energetic after hearing Hao Ren's description, and she simply
Summoning a group of small bats to form a mat in the air, they sat gently and delicately next to Hao Ren, "Obviously. What these dreams have in common is that the 'eldest son' appears in all of them, and they look...like crazy eldest sons."
"
Hao Ren was quite surprised by Vivian's ability to summon little bats to use as floating cushions. He immediately felt that this move was stunning, breathtaking, and stylish, especially when used by a veteran vampire. It was almost like something from a fantasy movie.
Like the Queen of Darkness: "You have beautiful hands..."
"Hey. What? I was too poor to buy a chair back then. This is a softer chair to sit on." Vivian waved her hand, "Are these dreams of yours related to the God-killing Sword?"
"After checking, it is unlikely to be the influence of the sword," Hao Ren was not too nervous, "and I also asked the data terminal to trace back the mental fluctuations when I was dreaming, and there was no external interference, so this
It's probably something like a premonition dream that I generated myself. I have asked the drone swarm to strengthen the exploration and monitoring of the dream plane. I have also strengthened the interference barrier of the crystal core research station. Regardless of whether this dream has a deep meaning or not,
It’s always good to have an extra layer of protection.”
As he was talking to himself, Vivian kept looking at him with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. Hao Ren felt hairy all over after looking at her for a while and couldn't help but twist his neck: "Uh... you're so
What are you looking at me for? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"You have really changed a lot in the past two years," Vivian just smiled lightly, exuding a quiet and reassuring atmosphere, "Two years ago you were just a reckless young man.
, if you encounter this situation, you will not run out so calmly to accompany your daughter to watch the stars. By the way, you have arranged everything easily. Two years ago, you would have panicked, and you might even come here.
Ask me for help. In two years, you have made great progress in such a short time."
When Hao Ren heard this, he just scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Why have I made such great progress? I don't even feel anything."
"Because your nature has not changed. Of course you don't feel it," Vivian smiled. "The only thing that changes is your ability. To be honest, I have seen too many human beings, heroes, generals, emperors, sages.
We can't even put together an Olympics, but you are still quite outstanding. When I first met you two years ago, I just thought you were an ordinary good person. Apart from being more capable, you are just an ordinary person to me.
There is no difference between people, but now...I feel more and more that you are going to become something big."
Hao Ren felt embarrassed for Vivian to praise her so bluntly. He rarely heard such things from her: Although Vivian is a gentle and kind girl, she has a rather reserved side.
And as the oldest person, she always has a kind of arrogance in her bones. This arrogance is not annoying, but it almost never takes the initiative to praise anyone: even for Y'zak's great achievements, she only evaluates it as
It’s just “pretty awesome”.
But this time she praised Hao Ren so generously.
"Of course I have to praise my progress. You are the one who took me in. How can you not be awesome?" Vivian said with a smile, and glanced at Lily casually. "Anyway, you and a husky can't discuss life here.
Come on, why not let me build up some self-confidence for you."
Lily was listening curiously with her ears raised, when she was suddenly shot. She couldn't help but jump up and scream: "Bat, just say what you want, why did you drag me out to criticize me when you have nothing to do!"
The relationship between the two is no longer as intense as it was back then, but the quarrels over the past two years have become almost a habit between the two of them. They start yelling again when they don't agree with each other on the spot, and the content of the yelling is basically nothing new.
It was like "Bat Dog" was barking back and forth, but the almost childlike way of arguing made the two superwomen argue with great interest, as if the quarrel itself had become a hobby.
And Hao Ren has long been accustomed to this kind of situation. He used to take care of it, but since he saw the nature of the two arguing and not doing anything, he could only watch the show.
Doudou happily waved her arms and shouted cheers to the two "sisters". The little one had no idea what was happening, but she thought it was awesome.
After the bat spirit and the husky spirit yelled for a while, Hao Ren couldn't help but muttered: "The relationship between you two is pretty good now."
The two superwomen said in unison: "Who has a good relationship with her?!"
"A bad fate, a bad fate," Hao Ren laughed, and then sighed, "If you two don't have a bad fate, then there really is no bad fate in the world."
He looked at Vivian and Lily, two close friends six thousand years ago, but because of a god-killing weapon, one of them died in the hands of the other. Six thousand years later, the reincarnated Lily turned out to be like this
By fate, Vivian and I got together and became enemies. What else could this be if it wasn't bad fate?
"Karma and fate are really powerful." Hao Ren held the beans in his hands, looked up at the stars, and sighed softly.
Even a stunned girl like Lily could hear a lot from Hao Ren's sigh. She also subconsciously looked at Vivian. Thinking of her entanglement with this bat, she rarely said anything.
Counterarguments.
"I'm going to make you some soothing soup," Vivian suddenly said to Hao Ren. "I guess it won't solve your problem of random dreams, but at least it will help you sleep well."
Lily followed happily: "I'm going to help!"
"The more I help, the busier I get. Just tell me if you're hungry. It's not like I won't cook for you."
"Oh, then I'll go help with the food...you can fry me a pancake, you're welcome."
"Do you want to show some face?"
"You can just have plain fried pancakes..."
The two enemies went back to the house while arguing, leaving Hao Ren staring at the sky in the moonlight. After a long time, he laughed: "It's still a comfortable life... right Doudou?"
The little mermaid crossed her arms and nodded seriously: "Yes, Doudou."
Then the little guy shivered hard and slithered back into Hao Ren's clothes: "Dad, it's cold, I want hot water..."
Hao Ren smiled slightly, held the fish baby through his clothes, and turned back to the house: "Vivian, boil the water again... don't bother, just throw the beans in when you make the soup."
Outside the house, the moonlight is getting darker. (To be continued.)
