Nangong Sanba sat at the table, trembling. He had encountered an unexpected disaster today. Facing these two old werewolves with thousands of years of experience, even a genuine demon hunter would not necessarily be able to win. He was just a dabbler. So, he still had a lingering fear. Fortunately, they did not fight. He took out his crossbow just so he could die a better death. He did not expect to win at all.
Hao Ren and Vivian comforted Nangong Sanba apologetically. Bluphlei and Blushedt, seeing that all the otherworldlings in the shelter could talk and laugh with the demon hunter, finally believed the statement of the "peripheral member". They were very curious about the amazing secrets hidden in this small shelter. No one had ever succeeded in developing a demon hunter into the otherworldling camp in the past thousands of years. They felt that once the news got out, it would cause quite a stir.
Of course, Hao Ren could not let them spread the news. So, he gave them a few reminders. The basic reason was that the shelter was secluded and the demon hunters were powerful. Once Nangong Sanba's situation was leaked, this "insider" that they had painstakingly developed might be wiped out by the demon hunters. The two old werewolves agreed with this reason. They also agreed that the identity of the "demon hunter traitor" must be kept a secret.
The misunderstanding was finally resolved. Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took the little mermaid from Nangong Wuyue, wanting to see how the frightened little mermaid was doing. Only then did they notice that the little mermaid, who was crying just now, was not making a sound anymore. She lay quietly on the table, her tail straight and her hands crossed in front of her chest. She was silent!
Hao Ren was terrified. He lifted the little mermaid up and patted her little face. He then stroked her tail with his palm. However, Lil Pea did not respond to his favorite intimate touch. She closed her eyes and remained motionless. Her whole body was stiff.
The others at the table panicked when they saw this. They all came over, calling the little guy's name and pulling its tail, trying to wake the little guy up. However, all their efforts were in vain: the usually energetic baby fish did not respond at all.
"How could this happen …" Lily's voice immediately sounded like she was about to cry. "She's usually so lively, how could she be scared to death …"
"Don't speak nonsense!" Vivian patted Lily's head and sniffed the little one's scent. "There's no smell of death … It seems like she's still breathing? Are you asleep? "
Hao Ren quickly put Lil Pea next to his ear, but he could not hear the tiny heartbeat. He put his finger in front of Lil Pea's mouth and nose, and found that the little one was still breathing. It was a very subtle, steady, and slow breath. If not for Vivian's reminder, no one would have noticed it. The little fellow was indeed asleep.
"What's going on?" Hao Ren was confused. He could feel that the little mermaid's body was cold. "She was so energetic just now, how did she suddenly fall asleep?"
Nangong Wuyue thought for a long time and finally had a guess. "Could she be hibernating?"
As soon as she said that, everyone at the table was silent. Hao Ren looked at the ice shards hanging on the furniture. Vivian's polar storm had dropped the temperature in the living room to minus 20 degrees, and it had not recovered yet. The hottest dishes on the table were basically cold. As the little mermaid was already wet, she was as stiff as a hibernating fish that had just been dug out of the ice … Had the little one really hibernated?
Vivian could not hide the embarrassment on her face. She laughed dryly and said, "So Lil Pea can hibernate. That's too fast …"
Hao Ren looked at his' daughter 'with strange physiological habits in amazement. He felt that the difference between races was really amazing. "She can take a bath in boiling water, but sleep in seconds at minus 20 degrees. The creatures of this world are amazing. But how do we wake her up?"
"Put her in the pot and cook for a while?" Lily's ears pricked up as she suggested.
This simple and crude idea, of course, was opposed by everyone. It was not that they were afraid that the little one would be cooked, but they were worried that Lil Pea would catch a cold. After all, the temperature difference was too big …
In the end, Hao Ren decided to put Lil Pea on the table to defrost naturally. Slowly regulating her body temperature should be able to prevent the little one from getting sick. Although the mermaid's vitality was incredible, he decided to take good care of her as a guardian. It was a very strange scene: there was a frozen little mermaid in the middle of the table. Those who did not know anything would probably think that there was a circle of crazy people sitting there …
"Wait … Wait a minute!" At this time, Nangong Sanba, who had been pushed out of the circle and didn't have a chance to interrupt, finally found a chance to speak. He pointed at the baby fish on the plate in shock. "What … What's going on?!"
Hao Ren casually replied, "Oh, it's my daughter. It's just a little sudden."
Nangong Sanba grabbed Nangong Wuyue's hand, tears almost rolling down his cheeks. "Sister, I don't object to you getting married, but why didn't you tell me? Our family has a long history, we don't do flash marriages — especially when you're pregnant …"
"Get lost!" Nangong Wuyue kicked Nangong Sanba's calf, her face flushed red. "Are you serious? Can't you see that it's a fish? "
A black and white kitten immediately ran down the stairs and circled around Nangong Wuyue, meowing non-stop. It heard its name being called.
Nangong Wuyue was exasperated. "I didn't call you!"
Hao Ren covered his head and lay on the table, wondering if it would be easier to play dead. "Oh my god, this is such a mess …"
When Nangong Sanba came up last night, Lil Pea was sleeping in the house, so he did not get to meet the strangest member of this strange team. Today, when he saw her, he had to admit that the little rascal was really good at causing trouble. Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue spent a lot of effort to explain Lil Pea's origin. Of course, they did not mention the alien planet. Instead, they said that one day, Hao Ren went to the beach for a vacation and found a magical egg on the beach.
At first, Nangong Sanba's expression was like, "Are you f * cking kidding me?", but Nangong Wuyue's actions made him "believe" the story.
By then, he could not eat anymore.
"Look at what you guys have done to the table." Vivian looked at the frozen dishes on the table, her heart aching. She did not care that it was her doing. "I knew it would be bad to meet a werewolf."
Lily was the only one eating happily. This girl was not a picky eater. When her ancestors pulled sleighs in the Arctic Circle, their meals were basically at this temperature. She was very used to it and enjoyed the crispy texture of the vegetable soup. Hao Ren was a little envious of her carefree nature.
"Sorry, we've really offended you this time." The two werewolf elders were also very straightforward. They took the initiative to admit that they were too nervous which led to an accident. Bluphlei looked at Vivian. He wanted to confirm the countess's interest in the Day of Return before he left. "Then let's get down to business. Is the countess interested in the Day of Return now? If it's true. "
Werewolves were creatures that did not beat around the bush. Even if the atmosphere was a little inappropriate, they would still say what they wanted to say.
"I know why you're here. I guess you want to confirm if I, the old scourge, will come out on the Day of Return." Vivian raised her eyebrows. "Go back. I'm not interested in the Day of Return and I'm not interested in the activities of the other Blood Breeds. As long as you don't get in my way, I won't take the initiative to find trouble with the werewolves. You can continue to gather your brethren and expand your territory. I don't care anyway. Didn't you come here to hear this? "
The two old werewolves exchanged glances in surprise. They hadn't expected this troublesome countess to declare her position so readily. Bluphlei didn't quite dare to believe it and confirmed again, "You're not interested even if the other vampires are also preparing for the Day of Return?"
"Not interested." Vivian glanced at Hao Ren without batting an eyelid. Her action was not noticed by the two old werewolves. "Because I suddenly feel that there are many more interesting things waiting for me to do. The world is big."
The old werewolves could not understand the meaning behind her words. They thought that the countess's strange habit of traveling, making love, and having fun with humans was acting up again. So, they stood up and said, "Then we'll take our leave. There are still many things to deal with in the tribe. We're relieved to know that the countess is doing well. We'll explain to the tribe when we get back."
Vivian stood up with a lukewarm smile on her face. She pushed the two old werewolves out and said, "You're leaving so soon? Not later? Oh, don't be so polite. Have some snacks … "
Hao Ren sighed. Vivian was too fake. She said it warmly, but when she sent them out, she was just short of a whipping kick …
After sending them out, Hao Ren and Vivian made eye contact at the same time. Both of them said almost in unison, "The Plane of Dreams!"
