A swarm of bats formed a dark cloud of shadows under the night sky. With a flapping sound, the bats condensed into Vivian. She looked at Hao Ren and Lily curiously as she tidied up her clothes. She had no idea what the two of them were doing out in the middle of the night.
As a vampire, or at least a vampire that she thought she was, Vivian had a rather regular but weird routine. She would be busy during the day, then spend most of the night strolling outside, and finally take a nap during the few hours when the power of the shadows was at its strongest. This was enough to keep her energetic all day long. Hao Ren had asked the real vampires in the Athens' sanctuary about this routine, so he knew very well that this bat demon's routine was weird even among vampires. She was not afraid of the sun during the day, and the latter half of the night was the time when a vampire was most energetic.
It was hard to imagine how this elder sister had been so adamant about being a vampire for the past thousands of years. Perhaps it was the same principle as how Lily had been adamant about being a werewolf.
When Lily saw Vivian, she waved her hand casually as a greeting and pointed to the moon. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to bask in the moonlight."
"The full moon …" Vivian looked up and shrugged. "A husky is quite pretentious. What are you doing, Hao Ren? "
"I had a nightmare. I couldn't sleep," Hao Ren said with a smile. He then pointed to Lil Pea, who was waving her little arms at Vivian. "Then the little one insisted on going out to look at the stars, so I brought her out for some fresh air."
"It's the middle of the night," Vivian mumbled with her arms akimbo. She did not realize that she had just flown in a circle outside. She then looked at Hao Ren curiously. "Nightmare? You still have nightmares? "
"So I suspect it's not just a dream." Hao Ren did not hide it. He immediately told her about the strange scenes he saw in the dream. He did not explain his dream in detail when he was chatting with Lily, mainly because he was doubtful that a husky could help him analyze it.
"It's strange that you still have this kind of dream with your current soul strength." Vivian was yawning and ready to go back to her room. But when she heard Hao Ren's description, she immediately perked up. She summoned a swarm of bats to form a cushion in the air and gently sat next to Hao Ren. "Obviously, these dreams have one thing in common — the First Born, and it looks like … a crazy First Born."
Hao Ren was quite surprised by Vivian's ability to summon the bats as a floating cushion. He suddenly felt that it was an amazing and stylish move, especially when it was done by a veteran vampire. It was like the Dark Queen in a fantasy film. "That's a beautiful move …"
"Hey, what? I couldn't afford a chair back then. This is softer," Vivian waved her hand. "Do you think these dreams have something to do with the Godslayer?"
"I've checked. It's unlikely to be the influence of the sword." Hao Ren was not too nervous. "And I've also asked the MDT to retrace my mental fluctuations during the dream. There's no external interference, so it's most likely a precursor dream of mine. I've asked the drone cluster to strengthen the exploration and monitoring of the Plane of Dreams. I've also enhanced the interference barrier of CARS. Whether this dream has a deeper meaning or not, it's always good to have an extra layer of protection. "
As he talked, Vivian looked at him with a half-smile. Hao Ren felt goosebumps all over his body. He could not help but twist his neck. "Ugh … Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face? "
"You've changed a lot in the past two years." Vivian just smiled faintly, exuding a quiet, reassuring aura. "Two years ago, you were just a rash young man. If you were in this situation, you wouldn't be so calm and come out to watch the stars with your daughter. You'd even arrange everything so easily. Two years ago, you would have panicked and probably come to me for help. Two years, such a short time, you've really improved a lot. "
When Hao Ren heard this, he just scratched his head in embarrassment. "I've improved a lot? I don't feel anything. "
"Because your nature hasn't changed, of course, you don't feel anything," Vivian said with a smile. "The only thing that has changed is your ability. To be honest, I've seen too many humans. Heroes, generals, emperors, sages, and so on. There's more than enough to hold the Olympic Games, but you're still a very good one. When I first met you two years ago, I only thought you were an ordinary good person. Except for your ability, you're no different from the ordinary people I know. But now … I feel more and more that you're going to be a great person. "
Hao Ren was embarrassed by Vivian's straightforward praise. He rarely heard such things from her. Although Vivian was a gentle and kind girl, she had a rather introverted side. And as the oldest one, she always had a kind of arrogance in her bones. This arrogance was not annoying, but it made her almost never take the initiative to praise anyone. Even Y 'zaks's great achievements, she only said that he was "pretty good."
But this time, she was generous enough to praise Hao Ren.
"Of course, I have to praise you for your progress. You're the one who took me in, how can you not be good?" Vivian said with a smile. She casually glanced at Lily. "Anyway, you can't talk about life with a husky here. Why don't you let me help you build some self-confidence."
Lily was listening curiously at the side. Now that she was suddenly criticized, she could not help but jump up. "Battie, just say it. Why do you have to drag me out to criticize me?"
The relationship between the two of them was no longer as hostile as it used to be, but the two of them had gotten used to bickering over the past two years. Whenever they had a disagreement, they would start bickering again, and the content of their bickering was nothing new. Basically, they would call each other "Battie", "Doggie", and so on. But it was this childish bickering that made the two superwomen even more excited. It was as if bickering had become a hobby.
Hao Ren, on the other hand, was already used to this kind of situation. In the past, he had the heart to intervene, but since he saw that the two of them were only bickering and not fighting, he could only watch the show.
Lil Pea happily waved her arms and cheered the two "sisters" on. The little one had no idea what was going on, but she felt that it was very cool.
After the bat and the husky quarreled for a while, Hao Ren could not help but mutter, "You two are getting along quite well now."
The two superwomen said in unison, "Who's getting along with her?"
"Bad fate, bad fate." Hao Ren laughed and then sighed. "If this is not bad fate, then there is no such thing as bad fate in the world."
He looked at Vivian and Lily, the two best friends 6,000 years ago. But because of a Godslayer, one of them died in the hands of the other. Six thousand years later, the reincarnated Lily and Vivian had become enemies again. If this was not bad fate, what else could it be?
"Karma is really something." Hao Ren held Lil Pea, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed softly.
Even a simple-minded girl like Lily could hear a lot from Hao Ren's sigh. She looked at Vivian subconsciously, thinking of her entanglement with the bat, and did not say anything to refute.
"I'm going to make you some tranquilizer soup," Vivian suddenly said to Hao Ren. "I don't think it will solve your dream problem, but at least you'll have a good night's sleep."
Lily followed her excitedly. "I'm going to help!"
"The more you help, the worse it will be. Just tell me if you're hungry, it's not like I won't cook for you."
"Oh, then I'll help … Just make me a pancake, no need to thank me."
"Can't you be more shameless?"
"Of course — a vegetarian pancake will do …"
The two enemies quarreled as they went back to the house, leaving Hao Ren staring at the sky under the moonlight. After a long while, he laughed. "Life is so comfortable … right, Lil Pea?"
The little mermaid crossed her arms and nodded solemnly. "Right, Lil Pea."
Then, the little mermaid shuddered and slipped back into Hao Ren's clothes. "Daddy, it's cold, I want hot water …"
Hao Ren smiled and returned to the house with the little mermaid in his hands. "Vivian, boil a pot of water … Err, don't bother, just throw Lil Pea in the soup."
Outside the house, the moonlight was getting darker.
