Upon hearing Wuyue's words, Hao Ren's interest was piqued.
"There's a barrier in the deep sea?" He looked at Wuyue. "I've heard from Vivian that even the most powerful beings could not find the underwater city of the sirens. Is it because of this barrier?"
"Probably." Wuyue had the same thought. "Perhaps there's a special way to enter the deep sea. The deep sea is a mysterious place. Humans have yet to explore even the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps a normal siren would know how to dive into the deep sea. It's a pity that my mother never told me anything about her hometown. She seemed to not want me to go there. I don't know why."
"Actually, I don't think it's possible that my mother is in the deep sea." Nangong Sanba shook his head. "If she's there, why didn't she come out to look for us? She went ashore once. There's no reason why she couldn't come out again. "
"I'll continue to look for her. It doesn't matter if I can't find her in the end," Wuyue said softly. "It's been so many years. It's almost become a part of my life."
"We have a rough understanding of the situation. Wouldn't it have been better if we had explained things earlier?" Hao Ren exhaled. He felt that the siblings' experiences were enough to make a TV series. It would be at least 40 episodes on a local TV station. "Brother Sanba, what's your plan from now on?"
"Just call me Nangong." Nangong Sanba's face instantly turned bitter. "I'm here to see my sister. It seems like she's found a group of powerful friends. I'm relieved. But I'm curious … What's the meaning of your family? "
Nangong Sanba scanned the living room as he spoke. He could immediately recognize Vivian and Lily's species. The fact that vampires and werewolves were living in harmony left him dumbfounded. There was also a 2.15-meter hulk sitting opposite him. His grin was enough to scare people off. Even with his knees, he knew that he was not a mortal. The strange combination in Hao Ren's house had him completely dumbfounded.
"This …" Hao Ren remembered that he had signed a confidentiality agreement. He could not say much before Nangong became 'one of them'. So, he decided to just brush it off. "We're a shelter here. It's an absolutely neutral safe zone. No matter who it is, as long as they're willing to live in harmony with others, they can stay here. Look at these two (Vivian and Lily). Aren't they quite peaceful? By the way, if you're willing to stay here, you just have to pay the rent. Also, I'll have to ask my superior … "
"No, I'll definitely cause you trouble if I stay here." Nangong Sanba rejected without hesitation. This saved Hao Ren a lot of paperwork. "Besides, I have my own business. As a demon hunter, I can't just stay in one place and enjoy a comfortable life."
Nangong Wuyue lifted her leg and gave him a gentle kick. "Brother, stop it. Let's be serious."
"Oh, I've accepted a job to help a rich businessman exorcise evil spirits in Russia. It's a lot of money. I can't bear to turn it down. I'll leave in two days …"
Although Nangong Sanba was a demon hunter, he was, in fact, somewhere between a demon hunter and a wandering sorcerer. His source of income was running around the world helping the rich to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. Of course, he would also take the initiative to eliminate some evil spirits to collect materials. Just like the last time they met in England, he took the initiative to ask for a job. Generally speaking, he rarely went looking for trouble with powerful otherworldlings, such as vampires and werewolves. Any one of them was enough to take his life. Nangong Sanba's daily work was limited to the undead, which were the weakest races among the otherworldlings. He would also solve some problems such as curses and voodoo poisons. In any case, he would do it the safest way.
But as the saying goes, horses stumble. The last time he was in England, he almost lost it. Who would have thought that there would be a demon-sealing crypt under the castle of a local aristocrat? Not to mention, there was a group of out-of-control Heroic Knights? Had it not been for Hao Ren, he would have met Nangong Wuyue again in the form of a black-and-white photo.
At this time, Nangong Sanba also remembered the incident. He smacked his head and said, "Oh yeah, the last time in the crypt in England … So, it was you guys who did it? Like I said, there were too many doubts at that time … You guys are my benefactors, right? "
"Haha, it's a piece of cake." Hao Ren waved his hand, gesturing that it was okay. At the same time, he could not help but yawn.
Nangong Sanba stood up and straightened his clothes. "It's too late. Let's call it a day. I won't bother you anymore. I've offended you this time. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know. I'm not very capable, but after all, I've been around the world for so many years. I still have some intelligence channels."
"You're going back so late?" Hao Ren stood up. "Why don't you just stay here for the night?"
Y 'zaks also stood up. He gave a smile that could stop children from crying at night. His voice was like muffled thunder. "That's right. Since you're Miss Wuyue's family, don't stand on ceremony with us. I have an empty bed in my room."
It was not easy to arrange a bed for Y 'zaks given his size. Plus, the demon did not like to let others do the work for him. So, he slept on the floor in his room for a long time, and the bed was just a decoration.
However, Nangong Sanba looked at Y 'zaks, who was more than two meters tall. The smile on Y' zaks face did not look safe. He instinctively took half a step back and said, "Don't trouble yourself. I'm just renting a place nearby. It's too late now. I'll come back tomorrow to ask about my sister. I hope you don't mind. "
Nangong Sanba said as he walked towards the door. Hao Ren initially wanted to let this interesting guy stay for the night for Nangong Wuyue's sake. However, when he saw the subtle expression on Vivian's face, he realized that it was quite awkward to let a demon hunter stay for the night. More or less, Vivian would mind. So, he got up to see him off. Nangong Wuyue stood up with him. When she walked Nangong Sanba to the door, she scolded him. "You're always causing trouble. Can't you learn a little …"
As Nangong Wuyue scolded him, Nangong Sanba nodded and apologized as he walked out of the door. Soon, he disappeared into the darkness of the night. His black windbreaker was too protective.
"Actually, you should let your brother stay for the night." Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue, a little embarrassed. He felt that letting her brother go home alone in the middle of the night was unbecoming of a host. However, Nangong Wuyue did not mind. She just waved her hand and said, "It's okay. My brother is stubborn. You might not be able to persuade him. He's a grown man. He can still walk at night. "
After Nangong Sanba left, everyone in the house was silent for a while. Finally, it was Vivian who broke the silence. "There are so many coincidences in the world. When I first heard Nangong Wuyue's name, I had my suspicions … but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
"Let's all go to bed." Hao Ren felt sleepy again. He glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already 2: 30 p.m. "We'll talk tomorrow. I'm really tired."
So, everyone got up and went back to the house. After a while, the living room was quiet. Just as Hao Ren was about to leave, he noticed something: Lily was still curled up on the sofa. The girl had been fighting her biological clock that night, but she had reached her limit. She had fallen asleep at some point.
Hao Ren went forward and tugged on Lily's tail. Usually, she would have jumped up, but this time, she only responded to Hao Ren with a string of messy sleep-talk. Hao Ren could only sigh. It was not appropriate to ask for help from Vivian or Nangong Wuyue. But to carry the girl back to her room … He wanted to, but he was afraid that Lily would turn her head and bite him. After all, something similar had happened before. So, in the end, he found a blanket and draped it over Lily. After that, he yawned and went back to his room.
There was nothing else for the rest of the night. Hao Ren slept until it was almost 10 a.m. the next day.
He was woken up by Lil Pea's tail slapping on his face.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a little mermaid bouncing around on his chest. It was quite a shock to him, especially since he was still in a daze. He almost mistook the little mermaid for Rollie and threw her out of his arms. He sat up on the bed with the little mermaid in his arms and found a wet trail from the desk to the bed. Obviously, it was left by Lil Pea.
It seemed that the little one still did not understand human language. He had told her not to jump on the ground yesterday.
Hao Ren put Lil Pea back into the pot and carried his daughter to the living room. He found Vivian sweeping the floor, and Lily sitting on the sofa in a daze. Her neck was tilted at a ridiculous angle. When she saw Hao Ren coming out, Lily waved and said, "Good morning, Mr. Landlord …"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I have a stiff neck." Lily looked at Hao Ren at a 45-degree angle. "My neck hurts …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
He felt that he should have taken the risk of being bitten to carry Lily back to the house last night.
"Are you hungry?" Vivian asked as she walked past Hao Ren with a broom in her hand. "There are buns in the kitchen. If you're hungry, you can eat some. Everyone woke up late today. I won't make breakfast. We'll have lunch later."
Hao Ren replied with an "Oh" and was about to step into the kitchen when he heard a knock on the door.
He pressed Lil Pea's head back into the pot and asked Wuyue to lock the little one up in the water room (just in case it was the water and electricity collector or the aunty from the neighborhood committee). He then ran to open the door and found two tall foreigners standing at the door.
The first thing they said when they saw each other was, "Does the Countess live here?"
