The Hesiana trio never imagined that when they set off from the earth to purgatory, they used a portal, but when they returned, they took a spaceship. Destiny is really a wonderful thing. When you are attracted by it
You'll never know what this stuff is until you get it all mixed up in your face.
Later that day, Hao Ren and his party returned to their home in the southern suburbs.
Yzaks was sunbathing with his daughter at the door. When he saw Hao Ren appearing at the street entrance carrying a bunch of things he bought from the vegetable market (mainly the ribs that Lily wanted to eat), Elizabeth was the first to run forward happily.
Come to greet them. Hao Ren handed the things he was carrying to Lily, and while stroking Elizabeth's head, he looked at the familiar home and smiled. Although this trip to purgatory is not as big as the previous "business trips"
It was particularly dangerous or remote, but he felt an insurmountable sense of mental exhaustion, and this feeling was not relieved until he saw the door of his home.
He knew that this was because there were too many things that happened during this trip to purgatory, and the most important thing was related to Vivian. The impact brought by the demon god Vivian was exhausting both physically and mentally. If his nerves were not so thick that he could
Peripheral necrosis, I'm afraid the psychological shadow still remains.
I guess other people had similar feelings, because the moment they saw the door of their home, Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue exhaled unconsciously, and even Vivian couldn't help but look particularly relaxed. Among the people, only Lily remained as usual,
She didn't show anything extra, she just happily ran towards the door carrying her ribs: this girl's joyful spirit was simply law-level. Hao Ren even suspected that even if the sky fell on her, as long as she was not killed on the spot, she would
Everyone can be happy.
The one who was as happy as she was probably the little girl Elizabeth who was jumping up and down next to her. This child had been taught by her father to be extremely tough. After being blown up several hundred meters and landing on the ground, she happily said: "It's so exciting!"
Vivian smiled slightly and whispered to herself: "It's better to go home."
When Hao Ren heard her muttering, he also smiled and nodded: "Yes, a lot of things happened outside this time. Don't think about anything after returning home. Let's take a good rest for two days. I'll deal with your questions then.
Just ask Raven for advice."
Hesiana frowned and looked at Vivian and then at Hao Ren, and suddenly her face drooped: "It's over. Lady Vivian has completely regarded this as her home! If this continues, she will completely ignore me!"
Seeing this, Cassandra had no choice but to take a step forward and comforted softly: "Mistress, be more open-minded. Lady Vivian has never paid attention to you before."
It should be true that this vampire was almost beaten to death back then, and to be honest, with her style, I'm afraid she will have to be beaten half to death by Hesiana in the future. It depends on when she takes action.
Everything at home was as usual, with Nangong's parents staying to help take care of the house. Hao Ren no longer had to worry about having to clean up a place to sleep in a pile of dust every time he came back from a business trip. When he walked into the house, he saw
The TV in the living room was on, and a pair of pointed cat ears with a tuft of white hair appeared above the back of the sofa facing the TV, while a long tail was swinging next to the sofa.
He called out to this heartless fool: "Get out! Why are you just watching TV and not even saying hello when I come back?"
Only then did the silly cat poke its head out from the back of the sofa. She stretched out her hand and held it into a meat ball and shook it at Hao Ren. She gave a gentle "meow" and then pointed with her tail at the cat food advertisement that was playing on the TV: "Big Cat"
, I want to eat this! Go and buy it for me!"
Hao Ren: "...You are indeed a heartless guy. Don't you know I just came back from a business trip?"
"Oh." The cat girl shook her head, as if she wanted to understand something, so she jumped off the sofa lightly. She slipped over and rubbed her head against Hao Ren's trouser legs, "I'll rub my ears for you. Can you play with my tail?"
It’s fun! I’ll let you play for five minutes.”
Hao Ren: "..."
Yzaks looked on, grinning widely: "She's not heartless, she's just trying to get along with you in her own way."
Hao Ren couldn't help but scratched the base of "Gun"'s ears. After coaxing the cat girl back to the sofa, he ran to the water room and found Doudou soaking in the basin. The little mermaid seemed to be sensing something.
She started splashing in the water impatiently before her head showed up. As soon as Hao Ren showed up, the little guy spat on his face. He was slightly surprised when he reached out to take Doudou out of the basin: "
Hey, it’s so heavy…are you growing taller again?”
"You've grown taller!" Doudou happily slapped Hao Ren's arm with her tail, "And she's lost her scales!"
"Falling scales?" Hao Ren was stunned, and then he noticed that some tiny luminous objects could be seen in the water basin where Doudou was lying before. It turned out to be the fine scales on the mermaid's tail, and the little guy's tail could be seen.
Go to some lighter-colored parts. They look like new scales. “When did it start?”
Doudou counted on his fingers and replied loudly: "Three days! Not counting today."
Hao Ren quickly took Doudou to the living room and consulted Nangong Wuyue: "Did you know that Doudou's scales have fallen off?"
"Where do I know where to go?" Nangong Wuyue rolled his eyes, "I have been following you for a while, have you forgotten?"
Hao Ren slapped his forehead and remembered this, but at this moment Elsa happened to come out of the kitchen. She heard the conversation between Hao Ren and Wuyue and said casually: "Shedding scales may be a normal phenomenon. She is growing more and more."
Come on, the pattern on the tail is also changing. Probably this kind of mermaid should lose its scales when it transforms from the cub stage to the childhood stage. I have already observed it carefully. The little one is quite healthy, and her new scales have grown.
The texture is completely different from the original scales. It is obviously something from two physiological stages, so it should be normal."
Hearing Elsa, a senior deep-sea creature, say this, Hao Ren finally felt at ease. He held Doudou and looked up and down for a long time, and found that the little guy was as energetic as before, and the part that had replaced the scales had also regenerated well.
Get up, it seems like this is really a normal physiological phenomenon.
Seeing Hao Ren in such a hurry, Lily couldn't help but mutter to him: "Isn't it just a change of scales? I also change my hair twice a year, and I don't see you in any hurry."
"Nonsense, I've watched Uncle Zhao's two-husband moult dozens of times since I was a kid, but this is the first time I've seen a mermaid change its scales." Hao Ren turned his head and glanced sideways at Lily, "Seriously, mermaids are really just like ordinary people.
Fish are different...it's the first time I heard that fish scales can be replaced even when they are so big. I thought these things last a lifetime."
Lily folded her arms and swayed back and forth on the sofa, recalling as she did so: "Before she lost her hair for the first time, I thought that my hair would last a lifetime. But after I became wise, I noticed for the first time that I was losing hair in large areas.
It scared me. I thought I was going to die. I even thought about getting some glue to stick the fallen hair back. I don’t know if it would work. My childhood... I really miss it.”
Hao Ren looked at her with a strange expression: "You should observe the dog's hair loss. Didn't there even be dogs where you lived when you were a child?"
Lily folded her arms confidently: "I thought I was a werewolf at the time! And I thought that after becoming a spirit, I wouldn't need to change my hair..."
Everyone: "..."
Hesiana sat on the sofa with some restraint, listening in rapt attention to Hao Ren and his abnormal family discussing some things that ordinary people could never understand or experience. She felt a kind of feeling in this environment.
There was an atmosphere that had never appeared in the Athens asylum. This atmosphere made her feel a lack of discipline, a lack of vigilance, a lack of stability and control, but she felt inexplicably yearning for it.
Vivian sat down next to her and asked casually: "Your family still needs to take care of it. When are you going to leave?"
Hesiana was stunned for a moment. She realized that she was not liked by anyone here, especially not welcomed by Vivian, so she lowered her head slightly: "Oh, yes, I have to leave... I will leave tomorrow, today
Can we just stay for one day?"
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren and gently scratched her hair: "It's no problem. In fact, I want to say that it's okay for you to stay for another two or three days, but just don't delay your family's affairs: After all, the Athens Asylum is nothing.
It’s a safe place, and the witcher is keeping an eye on you, so you have to go back and take charge.”
Hesiana was stunned. She couldn't believe that Vivian would take the initiative to invite her to stay here for two more days. Although this "invitation" could almost be called cold by ordinary standards, it was her thousand-year-old
An unexpected surprise that I have never experienced before: "Lord Vivian, you... don't you find me annoying?"
"I'm sure it will bother me if you make a fuss," Vivian said immediately, "but after getting along with you these past few days, I found that you have matured a lot and are not as clingy as before. Moreover, the landlord also advised me to pay more attention to you.
Now, if you want to thank him, just thank him."
Hesiana's expression suddenly became even more exciting than before. She looked at Hao Ren in disbelief. She was full of complex thoughts that no one knew. Finally, she sniffed hard and muttered something as if she was angry.
: "Thank you, second dad."
Then Hao Ren slid the fish in his arms under the coffee table. (To be continued.)
