Hao Ren did not expect to see a girl standing in front of his door.
The girl was wearing a gray sweater that looked a little baggy. She was skinny and had a dark complexion. Her facial features were small and energetic, and she had a neat ponytail behind her head. She was not the most beautiful type, but she had a lively and lovely youthful air about her. She saw Hao Ren standing at the door and waved her hand. "Hello, is this Hao Ren's house?"
Hao Ren snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Oh, yes, I'm Hao Ren. You are …? "
"I'm Wuyue!" The girl at the door smiled sweetly and handed him a card. "You have a house for rent, right? I'm here to rent a house! "
Hao Ren took the card but did not look at it carefully. The first thing he thought of was how to fool the girl in front of him. The girl seemed to have seen his advertisement in the newspaper more than a month ago. If it was in the past, Hao Ren would have welcomed new tenants. But not now. No one in his house was an ordinary person. Ever since Lily moved in, the house was no longer suitable for Earthlings!
"Err, I'm sorry, I've rented out all the rooms here …" Hao Ren quickly tried to think of a reason to get rid of her. At the same time, he wondered how the advertisement he had posted in the newspaper could still attract tenants. Now, it had become a big problem. Just as he spoke, Vivian heard the commotion and came over to check on the situation. "Mr. Landlord, who's outside?"
"I'm renting a house," Hao Ren turned to Vivian and purposely raised his voice. "Haven't all the empty houses been rented out?"
"That can't be right." The girl who called herself Wuyue frowned. "I heard from the introducer that there are only three people staying here. The rest of the rooms are specially prepared for 'unusual creatures'. You won't just rent them out. Is there something wrong with that?"
Just as Hao Ren was trying to figure out what to do next, Nangong Wuyue's words stunned him. "Wait! What did you just say? You mentioned a 'mutant' just now … Were you introduced by Raven? "
"Yes," Nangong Wuyue nodded. "She appeared in my dreams for half a month before I was convinced that there was a place to stay. A few days ago, when I arrived in this city, a guy in blue gave me a card — the one in your hand."
Hao Ren was stunned. He looked down and saw that the card in his hand had begun to emit a faint blue light. Raven 12345's flamboyant handwriting appeared on the card: Hao Ren, the holder of this card is one of your new tenants, Nangong Wuyue. Just arrange a quiet room for her. The food expenses of the new members will be transferred to your account from next month — your boss will keep it.
The moment Hao Ren finished reading the sentence, the entire card burst into a bright blue light, and then slowly dissipated into the air. That five-digit raven was quite artistic.
"How is it, no problem right?" Nangong Wuyue grinned at Hao Ren. "Do you have a room now?"
Hao Ren then confirmed the situation and quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, come on in. Say, do you need help?"
Hao Ren saw that there were two large suitcases behind Nangong Wuyue. They were not light. As a man who aspired to be the king of nannies, he immediately stepped forward to help. However, before he could do anything, Nangong Wuyue had already carried the two suitcases into the house as light as a feather. Well, it looks like she's another powerful person. Speaking of which, the otherworldlings had many advantages over humans. It was as if they did not have the disadvantage of being weaker than humans. Even a vampire like Vivian, who was not known for her strength, had the strength of a thousand pounds with one arm. How merciless.
Lily and Y 'zaks did not move from the living room. At that moment, they saw an unfamiliar skinny girl carrying two large suitcases in. Lily grabbed the back of the sofa and stretched her neck towards Hao Ren. She looked like she was asking for an explanation. Hao Ren saw that and gestured for Nangong Wuyue to place the suitcases in the living room. He then stood in the middle of the room and clapped his hands. "Ahem, it's sudden... but Raven has sent us a new tenant. This is Nangong Wuyue. She'll be staying with us from now on."
"Woah!" Lily immediately fell off the sofa. She then scrambled to her feet and scurried to Hao Ren's side. "Really?"
"It's not like you don't know how that psycho goddess does things. She does whatever she wants." Hao Ren spread out his hands helplessly. "I thought it was sudden too. But Nangong Wuyue has a letter of introduction... Oh right, MDT, verify it."
The MDT floated out of Hao Ren's pocket lazily. "Verify my ass. If it's a fake, I would have jumped out and called the police. My silence usually means that everything is normal."
"Here," Hao Ren twitched his mouth. "Introduce yourselves."
The sudden appearance of this new tenant, coupled with the fact that Hao Ren and the rest had just gone through an adrenaline overload today, was still thinking about the grudge with the demon hunters. No one had expected a newcomer to show up at this critical juncture. So, the atmosphere in the living room was a little stiff. But Nangong Wuyue did not seem to notice it. She placed her luggage against the wall in the living room and then looked at everyone with a sweet smile. She bowed politely and said, "Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Nangong Wuyue. Nangong is a compound surname. I'm currently a wandering... well, entertainer. Also, is there a rule of introducing one's race? I guess none of you here are ordinary people, right? "
"You'd better say it," Hao Ren said. "It'll be easier to get along in the future. If there's any taboo, we'll know in advance."
"Oh," Nangong Wuyue nodded. "My mother is a siren. But I grew up on land, so I'm a terrestrial siren."
"Siren?!" Vivian was shocked. "Wait a minute, sirens have rarely come ashore for thousands of years. The most recent one was more than a hundred years ago... Are you a descendant of the siren who came ashore more than a hundred years ago?"
"Ah, you know about this?!" Nangong Wuyue was surprised. "I remember my mother mentioning it. She came to human society in the 1860s. But I don't know much about my own race. My mother asked me to stay in human society. Until she passed away, she never took me to the deep sea."
Hao Ren was still trying to figure out which group of sirens came ashore. But soon, he remembered what Casar Ebben had mentioned. He blurted out, "You mean the ones who got hooked up with humans?!"
As soon as he said that, Vivian immediately turned her face away. This man's mouth was beyond saving.
The expression on Nangong Wuyue's face stiffened, but in the end, she maintained her smile, "That's right, they're the ones who've been seduced!" Every word she said seemed to have been forced out of her molars.
Hao Ren suddenly felt awkward. He sat down and tried to make himself invisible, not wanting to say anything.
Vivian looked at Hao Ren helplessly and sighed. She then gave Nangong Wuyue a friendly smile (as long as the other party was not a demon hunter or a werewolf, Vivian would be polite to anyone). "I'm Vivian, Vivian Ancestor, a high-ranking Blood Clan member."
"I'm Lily Liu! You can call me Lily! " Lily did not want to be left behind. She did not think much of it. After the initial shock, she was immersed in the joy of having a new friend. "Werewolf! Husky Chico's werewolf! "
"Husky..." Nangong Wuyue was stunned. Before she could ask, Y 'zaks stood up. His voice was like thunder. "Y' zaks Goodman, a high-ranking demon from another world. Oh right, I have a human name, Wang Daquan. "
Hao Ren banged his head on the table. "Since when did you get a name like that?"
"I have a human identity card. Haven't you seen it before?" Y 'zaks glanced at Hao Ren. "The Goddess helped me with it. She said it would be useful in this world. But I did choose the name myself. Before I came to this world, I browsed through China's dictionary and found that 'Uncle Wang next door' was a very common identity. So, I named myself Wang Daquan. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
Nangong Wuyue's mouth twitched as she listened to the introduction of the three seniors. In all fairness, only Vivian was normal. She could not help but mumble, "Looks like... life here will be interesting."
"Wait a minute, have we met before?" Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue from the side and felt that she looked familiar. "I think it was a few days ago!"
