Chapter 772: The Visitors

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hao Ren could not get the Plane of Dreams out of his mind. Nonetheless, trying to find the surviving guardians who could be hidden anywhere would not happen overnight. Hao Ren knew this too. He had given instructions to the drone fleet to speed up the expansion, so all he could do now was wait patiently for the message at home.

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October. The weather in the northern city was getting cooler, and the leaves were piling up more and more under the trees outside the window. Hao Ren was holding a cup of hot tea leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside while Lil Pea was lying next to his hand. Watching the leaves falling from the trees, the little mermaid gave a deep sigh from time to time, and Hao Ren wondered what she was thinking.

“Maybe she thinks it’s a pity.” Vivian was sitting opposite Hao Ren and reading a magazine. She looked up, smiled and said, “Probably in her mind, those fallen leaves were like snacks falling from the sky, but they all fell into the mud pit.”

Hao Ren was a little surprised. He pushed Lil Pea’s head lightly with his finger and then asked, “Does she eat leaves?”

“Never tried. Wanna try?”

Hao Ren thought for a moment and then raised his voice to call Lily who was basking in the doorway. “Lily! Go and pick some leaves and come back!”

Soon, Lily ran back with some beautiful autumn leaves in her hand. Lily was holding the leaves like a treasure and said, “Eh landlord you want to take up an elegant hobby? You want to make a herbarium of autumn leaves, right? Hold on, I’ll get the tools. I’m good at making…”

Hao Ren was not listening to Lily. He gave Lil Pea two pieces of leaves and watched her eat the leaves. He then turned to Lily and asked, “What did you say?”

Lily gaped at them both, suddenly got exasperated and yelled, “You’ve wasted the beautiful autumn leaves I picked!”

“Why does it sound weird when a husky say something like this…” Hao Ren just realized what Lily just said, and at the same time, Lil Pea spit out all the leaves she had just eaten while slapping the windowsill with her tail and said, “Not yummy! Not yummy!”

“She doesn’t eat this,” Hao Ren muttered while touching his chin, “Next time I try to feed her some grasses, or roots, she’s too picky now.”

Lil Pea kept blinking while listening to Hao Ren, and the jumped happily. Lily saw this and said, “Sigh. Luckily I knew what’s going on. If someone else heard what you just said, you’ll be accused of child abuse.”

Lily did not continue to bask in the sun at the door. She transformed back to werewolf form, stretched her body and wagged her tail to the couch to find the remote control. Hao Ren turned to look at Lily’s back, suddenly sighed and said, “It’s getting cold.”

Vivian looked up from the magazine and asked, “And…?”

“Lily is going to start shedding again…”

“Oh,” Vivian responded. A few seconds later, however, her roar resounded through the house. “Doggie! Don’t sit on the sofa when you’re shedding, or keep your tail before sitting on the sofa!”

Hao Ren saw a shadow flashed in front of him. Vivian had turned into a group of small bats, jumping over to stop Lily from destroying the sofa. Then came Lily’s loud cries and the noises of fighting. Hao Ren did not have to turn his head to know what was happening. But he also knew that Vivian’s efforts would eventually be wasted. Anyone who had ever had a dog knew the destructive power when a dog was shedding. Anyway, in the next month, the whole family could only spend their life surrounded by dog hairs…

However, it was not the first time that Hao Ren experienced this and was kind of used to it. He just had to finish his hot tea before it was chilled by the cold air released by Vivian. He then put Lil Pea into his pocket and ready to rush out the door. “I go out for a walk. You two go on.”

Lily was surrounded by bats, stretching her neck and shouting, “Landlord… You can’t run… Help… Help…”

She was hit by a small head before she finished her words. She was very angry and yelled, “That’s going too far! You thought I’m just a little cat?!”

Rollie immediately came out from under the tea table and asked, “Time to eat?”

Hao Ren could not stand it and quickly reached for the door. As he opened the door, a little bat fell by his side. The little bat struggled to fly up with a wallet in its mouth. “You forgot to bring your wallet. Buy some eggplants and a bottle of soy sauce when you come back,” shouted Vivian.

Hao Ren gaped at the little bat. Vivian quickly threw the wallet to the little bat when the little bat was smashed by Lily and let it bring the wallet to Hao Ren. The famous old vampire actually used her talent on this kind of inexplicable things.

When those above behaved unworthily, those below would do the same.

Hao Ren hurriedly opened the door and ran out. He let out a long sigh when he came to the street, and felt the world finally quiet down.

Although he had been living with these crazy creatures for nearly two years, and they got along well, still he had to say that: he could not stay in the house when they were fighting. And it was not the first time that he had to run away from home when the bat and the husky were fighting. Anyway, Hao Ren knew that nothing serious would happen.

At the very beginning, Hao Ren would always worry that they would tear down the house during the fight, and he tried to stop them but it never worked. But now, he did not know whether to be happy or sad: he was already used to it. He knew that the two would patch up and the worst he had to face when he got home was just a house full of dog’s hairs and ice…

So he brought Lil Pea along when he left the house. The temperature would drop so low when Vivian was fighting that even if she was not frozen, she would fall into hibernation.

This was not the first time that Lil Pea went out with Hao Ren. She was smarter now. She knew that she could not show herself in public as she liked, so she would quietly observe the world through the miniature camera on Hao Ren’s pocket. Hao Ren could also feel it whenever Lil Pea was moving in the special pocket. As he walked along the road, he observed whether there were any new species of withered barks or twigs on the ground. He would pick up the suitable one and slipped it into his collar. The fish baby was always hungry and waiting for food. This had become Hao Ren’s habit when he was going out with Lil Pea.

On the other side of the road, a mother and her son noticed this scene. Hao Ren heard them whispering, “Mom, there’s an uncle over there feeding his clothes a twig!””Don’t look— you’re going to be like this when you grow up if you don’t study hard.”

Hao Ren, “…”

Yes, he was used to it, too.

When Hao Ren went out for a stroll, an unexpected visitor suddenly visited the town.

A black luxury sedan was driving in a slightly deserted street in the southern suburbs. The potholes on the road and the water left by the autumn rain two days ago made the expensive car looked a little awkward. The car circled the old streets of the southern suburbs. The driver, a blond, blue-eyed foreigner, enquired about Hao Ren’s home from the local people and then headed straight for the house.

However, the streets are too old and the winding roads made it harder to find the right location. The car did not find Hao Ren’s house but accidentally parked in front of Nangong couple’s small restaurant.

The passersby and those who had just come out of the small restaurant could not help but look at the car. This kind of luxury car was very rare in the southern suburbs. The door opened and a tall Caucasian who came out of the driver’s seat was even more eye-catching. It was a young gentleman who looked calm and polite, blond, tall and dressed in expensive suits. It would be more appropriate for him to appear on a television than to appear here.

But he was just a chauffeur.

The blond chauffeur did not care about the passersby around him. He went straight to the back of the car and opened the door, bowed respectfully to the people inside, and said softly, “Madam, I am lost and dizzy… Can we eat something first?”

“Bastard, there’s only one road here and you have been driving for two hours and now you told me you’re lost! Is that thing on your neck just to make you look taller?!”

The voice of the woman in the car sounded dignified—no matter what the content was.
