As a husky, Lily's ability to stir up trouble was unparalleled. Even in her half-asleep state, she managed to shock the whole family with just a few words. So, for the next half an hour, she and Rollie were reprimanded...
The dumb cat, who was about to cause a scene, had completely calmed down. She lowered her head and squatted on the sofa without saying a word. She still had her precious mustache on her face. Vivian put her hands on her hips and scolded her. "Can't you be more careful? Look at what you've drawn on your face... "
The cat girl shrunk her neck. "It's a mustache..."
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison, "Shut up!"
"Why does she still look so stupid even after becoming a spirit?" Hao Ren rubbed his eyebrows. "I was wondering why she suddenly asked me for a pen. I thought she was finally willing to learn."
The cat girl continued to mutter, "I'm not a spirit either..."
"Shut up!" Vivian said.
Hao Ren looked at the cat girl fidgeting on the sofa and found it funny. He lamented, "When she was still a cat, I thought she was quite smart. She ran around the village and even snatched snacks from me. I thought she was so smart that she became a spirit. But now that she's a spirit, she looks so stupid."
Vivian rolled her eyes. "Nonsense. If you looked at her as a cat, then she must have become a spirit. Now that you look at her as a human, she's at least a Level Two handicap."
Lily was squatting beside Rollie. She listened to the scolding and had actually established a deep, revolutionary friendship with Rollie. The cat and dog squatted on the sofa and whispered, "How long do you think Battie is going to talk for?"
"I don't know meow... Big dumb cat, why is your tail wagging? Are you looking for a fight?"
"Who wants to fight you? I'm just greeting you!"
"… You're sick. Greeting is supposed to be like this. Listen carefully. Huff huff, huff huff."
"Do you want to fight? Why did you yell at me?! "
Alright, looks like it'll take a while for these two to establish a deep revolutionary friendship …
While Hao Ren and Vivian were discussing the future education of the cat girl, they suddenly heard the cat girl let out a sharp meow. They turned around and saw the cat girl pouncing on Lily's head and scratching Lily's head with her claws. Lily was instantly pinned down on the sofa, unable to fight back. Although she was not as afraid of Rollie after she turned into a human, her fear of cats was still playing a role. Now, she was being pinned down by the cat girl.
When Hao Ren and Vivian saw this, they could not care less about the cat girl's education. They quickly stepped forward to stop the cat and dog fight. After asking a few questions, they figured out what was going on. Hao Ren slapped himself on the forehead and said, "How can you two … Rollie has never been to school, but Lily, you're a vet and you don't know why cats and dogs fight? And this? "
Lily was combing her hair as she muttered, "I just didn't think of it … And she was the one who started it."
"You two should stay away from each other in the future." Hao Ren glared at the two idiots. "You're both idiots, and now you're both idiots!"
Vivian waved her hand tiredly and walked to the kitchen. "Forget it, I don't want to waste my time with these two idiots. I'm going to cook."
Hao Ren pushed Rollie over and said, "Go wash her face. The ink has dried, you can't wipe it off."
Rollie wanted to protest, but before she could, she saw Wuyue running out of the bathroom. The siren maiden seemed to be waiting for this moment. She rushed over excitedly and dragged Rollie's tail towards the bathroom. "Vivian, go cook! I'll wash her! I'll wash her! "
The silly cat's screams were earth-shattering. "Help! Help! Big Boss Cat, come and save me! I'm not going to the bathroom … "
Her screams came to an abrupt end when she entered the water room, leaving Hao Ren and Lily looking at each other in dismay. Hao Ren asked curiously, "What's Wuyue doing these two days? Why is she so eager when it comes to washing Rollie's face? "
"How would I know?" Lily crossed her arms and turned her head away. "Besides, I'm an idiot. Ask someone who's not an idiot!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes at her, and soon he was alone in the living room again. It was the quietest time in the house: the Nangong couple were busy in the restaurant outside, Y 'zaks and his daughter were probably walking the streets collecting old appliances, Vivian was cooking in the kitchen, Wuyue was playing with Rollie, Lil Pea was taking an afternoon nap, and Lily was a little moody. She would probably only be fine after dinner. As for Nangong Sanba … he was bored, so he went out in the afternoon to help catch ghosts, and would only be back at dinner.
After thinking about it, Hao Ren was surprised to find that the usually noisy family of demons and ghosts was no longer bothering him.
But this man was a bit of a bad-tempered person. Usually, he would be annoyed when the house was full of noise. But now, everyone had their own things to do, and he felt bored.
After walking around the living room twice, Hao Ren decided to go out for a walk.
Anyway, dinner would have to wait for at least two hours. Vivian had just gotten the set of divine kitchen utensils, and she was in a state of extreme itch. She had been preparing a table full of dishes every night, and it would take at least two hours to finish a meal.
"The weather is getting warmer."
Walking outside, Hao Ren suddenly sighed.
At this moment, the sun was already setting in the west. The slanting sunlight shone lazily on the old streets and alleys. As the light and shadow moved, one could see that the old trees by the side of the road had already sprouted buds, and the grass at the corner of the wall had already turned green. A cool night breeze blew over, mixed with the slight chill of the previous winter, but even more so, one could feel the warm atmosphere after the beginning of spring.
Looking at the scenery, Hao Ren was stunned, and suddenly realized something: he had missed this year's Spring Festival.
He had spent almost an entire month in Coldpath, and the next half a month in the Athens' sanctuary, listening to a group of hundreds and thousands of old demons quarreling. The most important festival of the year had passed without him noticing.
The voice of the MDT sounded faintly in his mind. "Two days ago, when Madam Raven gave you your year-end bonus, you didn't realize it?"
"… I didn't realize it," Hao Ren scratched his head. "There was too much information about the goddess of creation. I couldn't care less … I didn't even notice it during the Spring Festival."
As he said, he looked down, his expression was not clear whether it was regret or something else, and his tone was a little strange.
The MDT gently vibrated in his arms. "You have to get used to it. Those who deal in steel and wood can't even make it in time for the festival because they're on a business trip, let alone someone like you who's always running around saving the world. And this is only your third year on the job. Wait till you've worked for three hundred years, three thousand years, and look back at the world … Then you'll understand Vivian's mentality. "
Hao Ren did not respond. He just rubbed his chin and seemed to be deep in thought. The MDT panicked when it saw him like this. "Hey, don't be so disappointed. You're usually so heartless, why are you so emotional now …"
Hao Ren looked up and asked, "Then do you think I'll be able to catch the discount at the supermarket at this time?"
The MDT said, "… You've been silent for half a minute and you're still thinking about this?"
"What else can I be thinking about?" Hao Ren shrugged. "Anyway, it's been more than a month since the Spring Festival. Let's go for a walk in the city. Since we've missed the festival, let's buy something to celebrate it with everyone. "
The MDT held it in for a while and muttered to itself, "Your weird thinking is almost the same as the cat and dog combo at home."
It was not a short walk from the Southern Suburbs to the city, and it would take more than two hours to go back and forth by bus. Hao Ren did not have that much time to kill, so he let the MDT teleport him to the city center. The MDT checked the vicinity of the teleportation point in advance to ensure that there were no people around. When Hao Ren emerged from a corner of the stairwell, he found himself in a familiar shopping mall.
He had only wanted to buy something, but when he saw the shopping mall, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Liu Sheng … and Zhao Xi should be working here, right?"
