The trio of Hessiana never imagined that they used a portal when they set off from the earth to purgatory, but when they returned, they were sitting in a spaceship. Destiny is such a wonderful thing. You never know what stuffing this thing is until you slap your face.
Later in the day, Hao Ren and his party returned to their home in the southern suburbs.
Yzaks was basking in the sun with his daughter at the door, when he saw Hao Ren appearing at the entrance of the street with 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 and meet. 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 particularly dangerous or remote compared with the previous few "business trips", he still has a feeling of mental exhaustion that is difficult to resolve, and this feeling does not finally change until he sees the door of his house. ease.
He knew that this was because too many things happened during this trip to purgatory, and the most important thing was related to Vivienne—the shock brought by the demon god Vivienne made people physically and mentally exhausted. Close to peripheral necrosis, I am afraid that the psychological shadow still remains.
It is estimated that other people have similar feelings, because the moment they saw the door of the house, Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue unconsciously exhaled, and even Vivian couldn't help showing a particularly relaxed look. Among the crowd, Lily was the only one who remained the same as before. She didn't show anything extra, she just lifted her ribs and ran towards the gate happily: this girl's joyful spirit is simply at the level of the law, and Hao Ren even suspected that even if the sky fell on her, As long as she was not crushed to death on the spot, she would be happy.
Like her, there is probably the little girl Elizabeth who is jumping up and down next to her. The nerves of this child taught by her father are extraordinarily tough.
Vivienne smiled slightly, and said softly to herself: "It's better to go home."
Hearing her muttering, Hao Ren nodded with a smile, "Yes, a lot of things happened outside this time, so don't think about anything after you get home. Let's rest for a couple of days before talking about it. I'll talk about your problems at that time." Just consult Raven."
Heather Anna frowned and looked at Vivian and 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 softly comforted: "Mistress, think about it—anyway, Lady Vivienne has never paid attention to you before."
The fact that this vampire was almost beaten to death back then should be true, and to be honest, with her style, she might have to be beaten half to death by Heatherana in the future-it depends on when she does it.
Everything at home is as usual, with Nangong's parents staying behind 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 returned from a business trip. When he walked into the room, he saw the TV in the living room was on, and a pair of pointed cat ears with a tuft of white hair were exposed above the back of the sofa facing the TV, and a long tail was beside the sofa swing around.
He greeted this heartless fool: "Get out! Why are you just watching TV and not even saying hello when I come back?"
The stupid cat poked its head out from the back of the sofa. She stretched out her hand and shook it into a meat ball. She gave a soft "meow" and then pointed her tail at the cat food advertisement on TV: "Big cat , I want to eat this! Go buy it for me!"
Hao Ren: "...he really is a heartless guy, don't you know that 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. Slipped over and rubbed Hao Ren's trouser leg with his head, "Rub your ears. Would you like to play with my tail? It's fun! Let you play for five minutes."
Hao Ren: "..."
Y'zaks watched from the side, grinning openly, "It's not that she's heartless, she's just getting along with you in her own way."
Hao Ren scratched "Roll"'s ears dumbfoundedly, coaxed the cat girl back to the sofa, and ran to the water room to find Doudou soaking in the basin. The little mermaid seemed to have sensed something, and before Hao Ren showed her head, she jumped impatiently in the water, and when Hao Ren showed up, the little guy spat her face with water. When he stretched out his hand to take Doudou out of the basin, he was a little surprised: "Hey, it's really heavy... Is it growing again?"
"He's grown up!" Doudou happily patted Hao Ren's arm with his tail, "And she's lost her scales!"
"Scales off?" Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed that some tiny luminous objects could be seen in the basin where Doudou was lying on his stomach before. It is the thin scales on the mermaid's tail, and some lighter colored parts can be seen on the little guy's tail. It looks like new scales, "When did it start?"
Doudou counted with her fingers and replied loudly: "Three days! Not counting today."
Hao Ren hurriedly came to the living room with Doudou in his arms and asked Nangong Wuyue, "Do you know that Doudou has lost scales?"
"Where do I know where to go?" Nangong Wuyue rolled her eyes, "I've been following you all this time, have you forgotten?"
Hao Ren slapped his head thinking about this, but at this moment Elsa came out of the kitchen, she heard the conversation between Hao Ren and Wu Yue, and said casually: "Maybe shedding scales is a normal phenomenon, she grows more and more. Hurry up, the pattern on the tail is also changing accordingly. Probably this kind of mermaid should lose its scales when it transforms from a cub to a child. I have observed carefully, the little one is quite healthy, and her new scales 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 calmed down. He held Doudou and looked up and down for a long time, and found that the little guy was indeed as energetic as before, and the part where the scales had been replaced had been well regenerated. It seemed that this was really a normal physiological phenomenon.
Seeing Hao Ren's anxious appearance, Lily couldn't help muttering to him: "Isn't it just to change the scales? I also change the fur twice a year, and I don't see where you are in a hurry."
"Nonsense, I've watched Uncle Zhao's Erhuang hair change dozens of times since I was a child, but this is the first time I've seen a mermaid change scales." Hao Ren turned his head and gave Lily a sideways look, "Speaking of which, mermaids are really ordinary. Fish are different... It's the first time I heard that fish scales are still replaced when they grow so big, I thought these things would last a lifetime."
Lily swayed back and forth on the sofa with her arms folded, recalling as she swayed: "Before the first time I lost my hair, I also thought that my hair would last a lifetime - but after I became sensible, I noticed that I had lost a lot of hair for the first time. But I was terrified, I thought I was going to die, and even thought about getting some glue to stick the fallen hair back. I don’t know if it will work. My childhood... I really miss it.”
Hao Ren looked at her with a strange expression: "You should observe the appearance of dogs shedding hair. Could it be that there were no dogs in the place where you lived when you were young?"
Lily folded her arms confidently: "Didn't I think I was a werewolf at the time! And I thought that after becoming a sperm, I shouldn't have to molt..."
Everyone: "..."
Hessiana sat on the sofa a bit cautiously, listening intently to Hao Ren and his abnormal family discussing some things that ordinary people could never understand or understand. In this environment, she felt an atmosphere that she had never experienced in the Athens shelter. This atmosphere made her feel undisciplined, unvigilant, lacking stability and control, and yet she felt inexplicably yearning. .
Vivienne sat down beside her, and asked casually: "Your family needs to be taken care of, when are you going to leave?"
Heather Anna froze for a moment, she realized that she would not be liked here after all, especially not by Vivian, so she lowered her head slightly: "Oh, yes, I have to leave... I will leave tomorrow, today Can I stay for a day?"
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren, then scratched her hair lightly: "It's okay. Actually, I want to say that you'll be fine if you stay for another two or three days, but don't delay your family affairs: after all, the Athens Sanctuary is nothing. A safe place, and the witcher has been watching you, you have to go back to sit in town."
Hessiana was stunned. She couldn't believe that Vivienne would take the initiative to invite her to stay here for two more days. Although this "invitation" could almost be called indifferent by general standards, it was her thousands of years of experience. An unexpected surprise that I have never experienced before: "Master Vivienne, you... don't you think I'm annoying?"
"I'm definitely annoyed if you make a fuss," Vivienne said immediately, "But after getting along these few days, I found that you have matured a lot, and you are not as clingy as before. And the landlord also advised me to care about you more. Now, if you want to thank him, thank him."
Hessiana's expression suddenly became more exciting than before. She looked at Hao Ren even more incredulously, full of complicated thoughts that no one knew, and finally she sniffed hard and muttered something as if she was angry. : "Thank you, Second Dad."
Then Hao Ren slid under the coffee table with the fish in his arms. (to be continued~^~)
