It was half past eight in the morning, and it was a rare sunny day in winter in this small northern city. The warm sunlight shone into the room through the wide glass window, making people feel so warm that they were too lazy to move. Lily was lying comfortably on the recliner that had just been moved out from the basement, basking in the sun. Hao Ren and Vivian were each holding a pair of scissors, working behind the maiden. As the scissors moved, strands of snow-white silver hair fell to the ground. Lily turned her head to look and sighed. "Cut away all the worries, leaving only the clarity in the heart..."
Hao Ren reached out and patted her. "It's just a haircut. Why are you sighing as if you've been shaved?"
Lily yawned lazily, her ears twitching in the sun. "It's so comfortable... Battie, be careful. Trim it neatly."
Vivian continued to cut the fur. "Don't worry, I've sheared sheep before, I'm very skilled. But to be honest, trim it neatly now is useless. Anyway, you're going to grow another two or three stubble. I really want to shave you clean so that you'll grow neater... "
Lily shuddered when she heard this. She turned her head and glared at Vivian. "Don't you dare! You're ruining my face! "
Hao Ren and Vivian were busy trimming Lily's tail. It did not take long for them to trim Lily's tail back to normal. He patted the soft and fluffy tail to let the husky check it herself. The husky jumped down from the recliner and turned to look. She looked satisfied and wagged her tail. "Well, much more comfortable now!"
Vivian bared her teeth at Lily as she cleaned up the scattered fur. "Don't be too happy yet. It'll grow out later, at least until tomorrow."
Hao Ren looked at Lily, who was walking around to observe her tail, and then looked at the fur that had just been cut. He did not know where to start. He really did not expect that there would be such a detail in living with the monster girl. How should I put it … It feels quite interesting, but it's a bit of a challenge. As he watched Vivian packing up her stuff, he could not help but ask, "Can this stuff really be used to weave scarves?"
He stretched out his hand and stroked the silvery white hair. It felt as smooth as silk and had a strange elasticity. The thought of it being cut from Lily's tail made him feel uncomfortable. Unlike Hao Ren, Vivian did not have any special feelings towards the fur. In her eyes, the fur was no different from ordinary wool. "I can't use it directly. It's not suitable for spinning. However, I can use magic to process it. The final effect should be similar to wool. It'll keep you warm …"
"Of course!" Lily was still showing off proudly. "My ancestors dominated the transportation industry between the two poles. Needless to say, their ability to resist the cold and freeze goes without saying!"
Then, she pinched the white fur with a strange look on her face. "But why didn't I think of this before? Every year, I throw away the fur that falls off. Now that I think about it, it's such a waste. I could even save it to fill my pillow."
Hao Ren felt that he was completely unable to respond to such a battle of worldview. In fact, ever since he saw Lily jumping out of the room like a piece of fur, his worldview had not recovered. At this time, no matter what happened, he would face it with a "I'm dead, I'm dead" attitude. Anyway, Vivian could do whatever she wanted. She knew better than anyone else how the monster girl lived. At this time, Nangong Wuyue also came over curiously. She stared at Lily's tail and thought of something else. "By the way, Lily, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, but I didn't have the guts to. Why is your fur white?"
Lily's ears perked up. "Because I'm of noble blood! Don't you think the Silver Wolf under the Moon looks great? "
"But I remember a husky doesn't have this color …"
The moment Lily heard the word 'husky', she slapped her head and said, "Oh yeah, I'm a husky. What's with the color?"
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Your mother ran out of ink while giving birth?"
When Lily heard that, she immediately glared at Hao Ren and pounced on him. Hao Ren ran from the living room to the kitchen, and from the kitchen to the second floor … But at least Lily had inherited the style of a werewolf. She would not let go of her prey once she had set her teeth on it. When it was lunchtime, she opened her mouth, and Hao Ren's Steel Membrane Shield forced her to bite off half of it …
In the afternoon, everything went as Vivian had expected. Lily's tail began to grow like crazy again. But this time, the husky fully displayed her racial style and took it in stride. She quickly went to get the scissors and called for Hao Ren and Vivian to help. Looking at her excited look, Hao Ren wondered what the maiden thought of it. Perhaps, in the husky's mind, all novelty and fun things were good things, including using hair tonic to treat her tail and turning it into cotton candy …
But this time, Hao Ren had no time to play with Lily's tail. Just as he picked up the scissors and was about to go help, the MDT suddenly received a call from Kuiper Station: the little green men from the Kabala Commonwealth had arrived.
Hao Ren quickly packed his things, changed into formal clothes, and went to Kuiper Station. This time, he did not bring anyone except the MDT. It was not a dangerous mission, nor was it a long trip. He was just going to meet a few little green men and discuss the engineering rescue. He felt that he could handle it himself.
Of course, there was another reason: He looked at the circle of people in his family and found that apart from fighting, there was nothing they could do to help him. Only Y'zaks had seen the world, but unfortunately, every time he saw the world, it was smashing people with meteorites...
Kuiper Station was as deserted as ever. This remote and desolate transit space station had only a small group of staff working at all times. Hao Ren opened his eyes in the halo of teleportation. Unsurprisingly, it was still the guide girl, Lulu, whom he was already familiar with. LuLu giggled and bowed to Hao Ren. She pretended to be serious and said, "Your Excellency, your guest room is ready."
Hao Ren nodded with a smile and followed Lulu to the core tower of the space station. As they passed through an open connecting corridor, he saw a few odd-looking spaceships docked outside. The spaceships had the same paint job, which meant that they were from the same force. However, their shapes and structures were all different. They seemed to be made from a variety of standard parts, which seemed to indicate that these spaceships were from different manufacturers. He asked curiously, "Those spaceships are …"
"That's the fleet of the Kabala Commonwealth Kingdom," LuLu explained with a smile. "The Kabala Commonwealth Kingdom is a coalition of many states. The people who came this time are representatives of different states, so their spaceships are different. They take this matter very seriously. It seems that every state has sent their highest diplomatic officer. "
Hao Ren wanted to know more about these little green men before they met. Seeing that Lulu seemed to be familiar with them, he asked, "Then tell me about this Commonwealth. I've only read some information in the public database. I don't know much about their cultural taboos."
Lulu giggled and waved her hand. "Cultural taboos aren't that important. The Imperial Code stipulates how to deal with cultural differences between civilizations. Diplomats know how to deal with this. As for the Kabala Commonwealth … It's a recently established state that's attached to the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere. Let's talk about the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere first. Ninety percent of the population of this civilisation sphere are Kerbalians, and the remaining ten percent are the elite members of their robots who have obtained citizenship. This race has a strong sense of curiosity. They are most famous for their spirit of exploration of the universe — this is also the core of their culture. Kerbalians are passionate about exploring the stars. Basically, as long as they have spare energy, they will immediately start research in a new field. This is almost the entire driving force of their social development. They constantly launch spaceships into no man's land, not to occupy it, not to gain hegemony, but to see what's out there. They are such a strange race. The Kabala Commonwealth is a group of them with the most pioneering spirit. In the beginning, they were just a group of explorers. Then, they accidentally flew too far away and lost contact with their home planet. So, they simply set up camp on a few planets and established states. In recent years, they have only been in contact with their own civilisation sphere, and somehow, they became an independent regime recognized by the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere … "
Hao Ren was amazed. "A bunch of adventurers who don't care about their lives?"
"That's right." LuLu nodded. "Travelers often find colonies and states of various sizes near the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere. Even the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere itself doesn't know about them. They were established by explorers who accidentally flew too far away. There's an old saying among interstellar sailors to describe these explorers: the Kerbalians are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not dying far enough. Even their funerals are unique. They can sense that they are about to die, and before they die, they will try their best to attach themselves to any possible launcher. They believe that whoever flies the farthest before they die will receive the protection of the Kerbalian ancestors, and even become one of them. "
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, 'I hope you die as far as you can' — this is what they often say to their friends before they leave. It represents their best wishes, so don't misunderstand later." Lulu paused for a moment before she continued, "By the way, I forgot to tell you.
Hao Ren was speechless.
