After bidding farewell to the sirens of Nasaton, Hao Ren and the rest returned home.
At first, Hao Ren was worried that something might have gone wrong after being away from home for so many days. After all, the ones in charge of looking after the house this time were the most unreliable brats. A baby fish addicted to seeking death, a silly cat with a head full of dried fish, and a demon loli who poked the electric gate all day long. It was completely unpredictable what kind of chemical reaction these three could produce. But it was gratifying that Y'lisabet did not disappoint this time. The little girl had regained the steadiness of a city and managed the cat and fish obediently. Everything was fine at home.
Except that all the electrical appliances had been dismantled by her.
After making sure that everything was normal at home (at least on the surface), the first thing they did was to sleep for a day to relax their tense nerves due to the Io incident, the giant, the brain monster, and the like. After that, they went back to their own lives and did what they needed to do. After all, they were all people who had seen the big scenes, and their adaptability was still very good.
Hao Ren wanted to rest for a few more days, but unfortunately, he could not give himself a holiday. He still had a lot of reports to prepare, and the summary of the incident was also piled up. So, he got up early in the morning and was busy sorting out the records. After a year on the job, he had developed a good working habit. That was, during the process of a mission, no matter the details, he had to record in detail. Any clues had to be sorted out in the report and work log, so that he would not be caught unprepared in the future. Now, he called the things he came into contact with the 'Abnormal Domain', and the knowledge in the Abnormal Domain was often difficult and obscure, with all kinds of things intertwined. If one did not have sufficient understanding and keen talent, then one could only rely on hard work to make up for it.
After this report was sorted out, he was ready to go to Raven 12345 again. This time, there were too many things to hand over.
Rollie was curled up on the sofa as usual, with her head against Hao Ren's waist, her throat purring to relieve her boredom. But in the past, she could only take up the area of a cushion, but now, she took up two-thirds of the sofa. With Hao Ren and Rollie together, there was no room for anyone else. Lily could only squat on the cushion, holding the remote control and changing channels to find Animal World. As she changed channels, she muttered, "Mr. Landlord, I suddenly realized something …"
Hao Ren was writing his report and did not look up. "Go ahead."
"… Until now, I'm the only one paying rent, right?" Lily's ears twitched as she looked at Hao Ren in confusion. "… Why do I feel like I'm at a disadvantage?"
As soon as Lily's voice trailed off, Y 'zaks who was reading the newspaper, Vivian who was wiping the table, Wuyue who was applying essential oil on her tail, and Sanba who was teaching Lil Pea Letta Runes all fell silent. They looked at each other awkwardly. Finally, it was Hao Ren who broke the silence. He patted Lily's head and said, "You've been thinking about this for a whole year?"
Lily's ears drooped. "Isn't it because I'm slow? Mr. Landlord, do you think I'm at a disadvantage?"
Hao Ren reached out and stroked Lily's hair. "Don't worry, I've already converted your monthly rent into ribs. Why do you think you eat a few pounds more than others every month?"
Lily immediately felt that it was a good deal. She immediately forgot about other things and licked Hao Ren's finger contentedly before turning back to watch the TV. Rollie looked up and rubbed her head against Hao Ren's arm. "Meow can't watch anymore …"
Lil Pea slapped her tail. "No more! No more! "
"By the way, how's Lil Pea's learning progress?" Hao Ren heard the baby fish's voice and looked up at Sanba.
"She's almost done with the Letta Runes. She has a good memory and is talented. I think she'll finish her apprenticeship this month." Sanba was quite proud of the results of his teaching. This was the only part where he could continue to pretend to be a big shot in front of a roomful of superhumans. "Do you want to see her Sacred Flame technique? She can even cast it silently! "
Hao Ren was suddenly interested and nodded. "Let me see, let me see!"
Lil Pea saw the opportunity to show her face and immediately slapped her tail happily. She raised her hands and rubbed them in the air to create a small white fireball. Nangong Sanba asked Lil Pea to stay in that position while he took out a cigar from his pocket and toasted it on the fireball. He lit it up and took a deep puff. "The Sacred Flame is still the best …"
Hao Ren was stunned. "… You've taught her for a month and you only taught her a lighter?"
Lil Pea bounced up to Hao Ren and showed off the fireball in her hand. "Daddy, do you want to light a cigarette?"
Lily choked on the smoke and coughed. Nangong Sanba quickly put out the cigar and shrugged helplessly. "You know your daughter is only a foot long. What else do you think she can do other than as a lighter?"
At this time, Lil Pea was still holding the Sacred Flame and bouncing around, asking everyone if they wanted to light a cigarette. She was just like a walking human lighter. Vivian looked up at her watch and found that it was almost lunchtime. She picked Lil Pea up and walked to the kitchen. "She'll be useful in the kitchen — the lighter is broken."
Everyone was speechless.
Hao Ren blinked and cupped his hands at Nangong Sanba, giving him a "you've worked hard" look. "It's an achievement, more or less. By the way, didn't you say that you wanted to make a set of mini equipment for Lil Pea to improve her learning efficiency or something? Have you made it? "
Nangong Sanba smiled proudly. "Do I need you to remind me? I've already made it. I made her a miniature crossbow and a training sword. There's also a weapon box. Tsk tsk, it's not easy. I wore a magnifying glass to carve the runes for her all night. "
"Oh, what do you think of it?"
"I haven't shown it to her yet." Nangong Sanba grinned and rubbed his hands. "I'm going to give her a surprise today."
At this time, Vivian had used Lil Pea to light the fire. The little mermaid came out of the kitchen by herself. Hao Ren waved at the little mermaid from afar. "Lil Pea, come here! Your Uncle Sanba has something good for you! "
Lil Pea heard this and immediately jumped back to the coffee table happily. She slapped her tail and said, "Good stuff! Good stuff! "
Nangong Sanba smiled and took out a delicate little box from his pocket. His face was solemn. "Lil Pea, although you're only a foot long, you have a glorious and pure bloodline. You're the one and only demon-hunting fish in the world. You deserve your own exclusive weapon. I hope this equipment will accompany you on your journey to expel evil. It will be your courage, your blade, your armor, and your blessing. You have to — "
Before Nangong Sanba could finish, Nangong Wuyue slapped the back of his head with her tail. "Bro! Don't pretend in front of us, okay? "
Nangong Sanba scratched the back of his head and looked aggrieved. "I'm not pretending. I'm being serious. This is the standard ritual for demon hunters when they receive their first set of equipment. I even simplified the bathing and changing process. Lil Pea is always soaking in the water anyway."
"Alright, alright. You feel a sense of accomplishment from a foot-long demon-hunting fish. Aren't you ashamed to say it out loud?" Hao Ren pushed the little box in front of Lil Pea. "Little girl, open it and see if you like it."
Lil Pea looked at Hao Ren and then at Nangong Sanba in confusion. Finally, she sniffed the exquisite little wooden box and opened it hesitantly.
Inside was a set of demon hunter equipment, specially tailored for Lil Pea's size. There was a small crossbow the size of a pen cap, a set of five demon-breaking flying knives for training, a small wooden sword and a rune book — all training equipment.
Lil Pea was very happy and ate them all.
Well, that was just the little one's plan. But just as she put the wooden sword in her mouth, Hao Ren quickly grabbed it. The latter broke out in cold sweat. "I was wondering why it felt so weird. Sanba, why did you give her a bunch of wooden equipment?"
"For training." Nangong Sanba also realized the problem with the material. After all, Lil Pea's diet was unusual. Without a strong imagination, most people would not be able to guess what she would suddenly bite. But he had no choice. "The power of demon hunters will make their weapons especially powerful. A crossbow bolt is like an anti-material rifle. So, we use this wooden equipment that has been soaked in holy oil during training. It has the same magic affinity as sacred silver, but it won't amplify the power. It can prevent the apprentice demon hunters from hurting themselves …"
At this time, Lil Pea was still struggling in Hao Ren's hand. While she was struggling, she cried, "Eat, eat … Daddy wants me to eat …"
Hao Ren sighed and looked at Nangong Sanba. "I think your teaching plan still has a long way to go."
Nangong Sanba was speechless.
