It was noon when Hao Ren returned home, and his family was waiting to be fed. As everyone knew, the goddess did not usually cook meals unless she was having a meal, or she accidentally put half a pot of salt into the noodles and was in a hurry to kill someone. So Hao Ren, Lily, and Vivian were kicked out of the house before lunchtime. It was too late for Vivian to cook, so they took a detour to the Nangong family's restaurant at the end of the street and bought lunch for the whole family. The Nangong family's restaurant had been closed for two months, and the flow of customers had not picked up yet. Nangong Wudi and Nangong Wudi were worried about the ingredients they had prepared in the morning, so they packed up all the leftovers for them.
Lily was in high spirits on the way back with a big box of food. She was full of happiness.
As soon as he opened the door, Hao Ren saw Rollie lying on the sofa in a half-dead state. The cat maiden was lying limply next to the armrest, her tail curled around the TV remote control, and Lil Pea was jumping around on her back. Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet were studying a practical radio technology book. The Nangong siblings had nothing to do and were munching on melon seeds while discussing whether they would have lunch. Hao Ren, Lily, and Lil Pea had saved their lives by bringing their lunch back. They were all in high spirits.
Nangong Sanba threw away the melon seeds in his hand and teleported over. "Mr. Landlord, you're finally back. We're starving. What are we having for lunch today? Ugh, it smells familiar. "
"Of course, it's your mother's cooking." Hao Ren handed a bunch of stir-fried dishes to Nangong Sanba and motioned for Lily to put the box of rice on the table. "I've been chatting with the goddess and didn't have time to cook lunch. Let's have this. Get lost! Wash your hands before you eat! "
As soon as the cat maiden crept under the table, she was stopped by Hao Ren's roar. She got up and reluctantly came to Wuyue and asked the siren to make a water ball for her to wash her hands. Cats were really lazy creatures, and she was too lazy to go to the washroom.
Nangong Sanba scratched his head. "You scared me. I thought you were scolding me."
"To be honest, if it weren't for the cat's stubbornness, I would have changed her name." Hao Ren sighed. "Because of her bad name, I can't bring her out of the house. I can't even get her an ID card. Nobody dares to take orders for her."
Even if there was an ID card, no one would believe that someone was really called "Rollie".
"Who asked you to give her such a stupid name?" Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren while serving rice to everyone. "Now she's used to it."
Hao Ren spread out his hand. "I can't help it. I didn't know she could transform. She couldn't even walk upright back then. Why didn't you tell me?"
Big Boss Cat! I'm done washing my hands! " The cat maiden ran over and waved her hands in front of Hao Ren. She did not care if Hao Ren saw it or not. She climbed into her chair and stared at the food on the table. "Ah, fish! Big Boss Cat, get me fish! "
There was fish slices for lunch. Lil Pea could not tell the original shape of the fish, so it was still on the table. But if it was braised fish, it would be a mess.
"Get it yourself!" Hao Ren glared at Rollie. "It's right in front of you, and you want me to help you … use chopsticks! Don't touch it! People are eating it! "
The cat maiden reached out her hand excitedly, but Hao Ren yelled at her to stop. She felt wronged and clumsily grabbed the chopsticks and poked the fish into the plate. As she poked, she muttered, "Big Boss Cat, why are you so mean to me? Big Boss Cat, do you have another cat? Big Boss Cat, are you going to change to a Persian? Big Boss Cat, do you not want to keep a cat anymore? Big Boss Cat, you …"
"Ahem … Where did you learn all this nonsense!" Hao Ren coughed after hearing the silly cat's rambling. He watched Rollie poking the plate of fish slices with chopsticks. His eyes twitched. "How long has it been? Can't you learn how to use chopsticks? Two months ago, you could still use chopsticks to get food. Why are you going back now? "
"No one has taught her for two months. She has degenerated. You should be thankful that she can still walk upright." Vivian shook her head. "Forget it. Let her do it. You guys probably won't eat the food she poked with chopsticks anyway …"
Hao Ren shook his head helplessly. He wanted to ask how Rollie had been eating for the past two months, but when he thought about how Vivian did not cook for the past two months, and the whole family relied on Kang Shifu to survive, he decided not to ask. Instead, he mentioned his next plan. "I'm going to the North Pole in two days."
Rollie perked up again. "Oh, there's codfish in the North Pole!"
"Eat your food!" Hao Ren glanced at her and turned his head to explain. "I'm going to find the demon hunters and ask them to cooperate with us in a random inspection. In addition, Vivian and I are going to find some pure-blooded Ancients from Holletta, that is, the original demon hunters. If possible, we will also arrange for the demon hunters in Coldpath to organize a homecoming group to let them see what their hometown looks like. "
"Homecoming?" Nangong Sanba suddenly looked interested. "You're finally going to arrange this? Isn't it a little too early? "
"In fact, since the gate in the Scarred Nebula was built, the time was ripe." Hao Ren smiled. "Previously, the small rift in Siberia could only accommodate a few people, and they had to be carefully selected. But now the Gate of the Universe in the Scarred Nebula is a more stable gate that can accommodate groups of less than 100 people and a large number of goods. In fact, when I first built the gate, I had planned this, but there were many twists and turns later, and some of the plans were temporarily put on hold. Now I'm just restarting them. "
"Big Boss Cat! I want to go to the North Pole too! " Rollie's mouth was full of fish, but she still tried to wave her claws and yell. She did not hear what Hao Ren said after that. She just tried hard to recall the taste of codfish in her mind, and then she got excited.
"Why are you everywhere?" Hao Ren patted Rollie on the head. "I'm going to do business, not to play! Just stay at home. Didn't you say that you wouldn't run around these two days? "
Rollie lowered her head and muttered again, "Big Boss Cat, you really have a cat outside …"
No one cared about the cat's nagging. Y 'zaks was interested in the "random inspection" that Hao Ren mentioned. "What did you talk to the goddess about? Why did you suddenly want to go back and check on the demon hunters and the Ancients of Holletta? "
In everyone's mind, the demon hunters and the planet of Holletta were already in the past. They thought that they were going to a more distant and dark planet and mysterious realm, but they did not expect that Hao Ren's target was the demon hunters and their home.
"We talked a lot, but the checking on the demon hunters has something to do with Lily," said Hao Ren as he looked up at Lily, who was competing with a bowl of pork ribs across the table. "Strictly speaking, it has something to do with her Doggoblast …"
He then told everyone about the topic that he discussed with Raven 12345, and also mentioned the possible secret behind the inconsistent energy samples of the Twin Blades of Apocalypse. Obviously, the story behind the Twin Blades of Apocalypse was not something that could be solved in a short time, but the demon hunters might have a talent for divine incantation.
Nangong Sanba was undoubtedly the most interested in this. He wiped his mouth and said, "So … the demon hunters are actually a race that can perform divine incantation? They can borrow power from the gods without learning? "
"We're just guessing." Hao Ren nodded and did not deny it. "To put it in a more conventional way, the demon hunters are a 'chosen race', a race favored by the gods, born with the ability to communicate with the gods. Of course, we all know what a true god is, so the demon hunters should actually be a 'ritual product', an 'experimental result' created by the ancient mage emperors in the process of communicating with the goddess. But anyway, based on the ability that Lily has shown, we speculate that the demon hunters have a certain talent for divine power. "
Nangong Sanba nodded, a little excited and a little regretful. "It's a pity that my bloodline is not pure. Even if my bloodline is pure, I'm not strong. Otherwise, I can cooperate with your examination …"
"No matter what, you can't, and neither can your dad." Vivian shook her head. "This kind of examination is very rigorous. We have to find the purest, unaffected demon hunters to cooperate with us. Otherwise, it will be meaningless."
Hearing this, Nangong Wuyue could not help but hug her arms. "Why do I feel a little goosebumps? You guys sound like a mad scientist doing human experiments in a horror movie …"
Hao Ren thought for a moment and smiled wryly. "Let's eat …"
Two days later, Hao Ren led Lily, Vivian, and the Nangong siblings to the headquarters of the demon hunters in the Arctic — Coldfrost Citadel.
They had already sent a message to White Flame, so they could see the lighthouse on Coldfrost Citadel from afar. It was a signal to welcome the visitors and that everything in the citadel was normal.
Beside Hao Ren, the cat girl, who had wrapped herself tightly in a cotton coat, was looking around cleverly. She stretched her neck and asked, "Big Boss Cat, when are we going fishing?"
Hao Ren put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply.
In the end, Hao Ren still brought the dumb cat along. He could not resist her pestering, and could not stand her saying "Big Boss Cat has another cat" at least three times during every meal. So, on this trip to Coldpath, Hao Ren had to bring the dumb cat along.
