Due to the summoning ritual, it was already one or two in the evening by the time Vivian finished studying the blood sample. Lily, who had a strong biological clock, was fast asleep on the sofa, smacking her lips as she slept. Hao Ren had no idea what delicious food she was dreaming of. It was amazing that she could stay awake until then. Hao Ren still remembered the husky's feat of sleeping while standing on the street at four in the morning during her first business trip abroad. Now, she had been following everyone to various clock-disordered worlds. In fact, Lily had improved a lot.
"Let her sleep here tonight." Hao Ren looked at Lily who was sleeping on the sofa. "She's already sound asleep. She might get bitten if we move her now."
Nangong Sanba yawned and said, "I'm sleepy too. I'm going back to bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow. "
Nangong Wuyue and Ayesha nodded. "Yeah, it's been a tiring day …"
Hao Ren looked at the two aquatic creatures with a weird expression. He thought to himself that the two of them had curled up into a ball and hid in the corner during the fight. Even when they went to Mars, they were only the background of the stage. Now they had the nerve to say that it was tiring … What about the wear and tear fees in the auditorium?
After Y 'zaks brought his daughter back to the house, Hao Ren scratched his chin and muttered to himself, "Actually, there's a problem that bothers me."
Vivian hardly slept at night. She was still energetic as she accompanied Hao Ren. "What's the problem?"
"Before the evil spirit was killed, she kept repeating some inexplicable words, saying 'come back', 'come back', but she didn't say anything else." Hao Ren was getting more and more puzzled. "In the end, I'm not sure if the evil spirit has a complete consciousness … or if it's just a magical summon."
"'Come back'?" Vivian frowned. She also found the word inexplicable. "What does it mean?"
Hao Ren shrugged. "Just from the lines alone, it sounds like a ghost summoning a soul. In fact, the evil spirit looks exactly like you. It's just that its temperament seems to have been drugged. Do you really not remember having a clone other than Hessiana? Perhaps other than bats becoming spirits, your blood can also become spirits? "
Vivian had goosebumps all over her body. "Stop it. Hessiana is enough to annoy me to death. With two naughty kids, I won't be able to live a peaceful life."
"Forget it, don't think too much. Let's talk about it after you confirm the origin of the magic book with Hessiana." Hao Ren exhaled, stood up and stretched. "Phew … I'm going back to bed. You should rest early too."
After Hao Ren returned to his room and lay on the bed, he heard a soft sound coming from the small table next to him. Lil Pea quietly poked her little head out of the pot. "Daddy is back?"
Hao Ren was surprised that the little guy was still awake at this time. "You're still awake? Did I wake you up? "
As Lil Pea was growing up, she basically ate and slept like a fool every day. She would feel sleepy after dinner. So when everyone went out to do the summoning ritual, the little guy had already fallen asleep. Hao Ren did not expect her to wake up at this time. The little guy gently paddled the water. Her voice was unusually serious. "In your dreams! Daddy, do you think I'll be like you when I grow up? "
"Like what?" Hao Ren did not understand. "Like what?"
"Just like you guys." Lil Pea waved her little arms and hands, trying hard to express what she meant. "Just like Daddy, and Sister Fish and Sister Dog — they're the same size as you, and they can run around!"
Hao Ren finally understood what the little guy was thinking. His first reaction was surprise: he did not expect Lil Pea to develop so quickly. She was not even a year old, and she had already started to think about these things. Perhaps the little guy had already realized that she was different from others. He quickly weighed his words, thinking about how to explain these things to a fish that were a little too advanced for her. "Err... you'll definitely grow up, and maybe you'll be as big as Daddy, but then you'll still be a little different from everyone else..."
"Different?" Lil Pea's eyes were shining in the dark. "Why?"
Hao Ren thought for a moment. "You see, your Sister Dog has a big furry tail, Bat can fly, Sister Fish can turn into a snake, Uncle Big Guy can emit fire... Isn't everyone different? Our family's composition is special, we're all different, so you'll be special too … Yes, unique, that's all. "
"Unique is good?" Lil Pea asked curiously.
Hao Ren nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's good! Personality is king these days! If your personality is so unique that even your style is different from others, then you'll directly win. Look at how awesome your Uncle Big Guy is — just because he looks like a landscape building... "
"Then I'm different from Daddy?" Lil Pea pressed. "Shouldn't I be the same as Daddy?"
Hao Ren's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He felt that he was not as stressed as he was now when he was fighting with the sprite on Mars. Did this little one suddenly become enlightened or what was going on? How did she suddenly come up with so many sharp questions? "Err... this question depends on how you analyze it. In theory, any father and daughter will be different when they grow up, but I guess that's not what you're asking..."
Lil Pea stared at Hao Ren with her bright little eyes, her face was the simplest and cleanest of curiosity and expectation. Hao Ren suddenly gave up when he saw the look in her eyes. He simply spread out his hands and said, "Yes, you'll be different from Daddy when you grow up. It's hard to say if you'll grow legs, but Daddy probably won't grow a tail in this life. But that's not important, I'm your father. The goddess has prepared it, so even if the universe is destroyed, I'm still your father."
Lil Pea blinked. There were many things she did not understand, but she seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted. So the little one shook her body in satisfaction, rolled up the water and went back to sleep, leaving Hao Ren to secretly sigh: the little one's sharp questions had finally come to an end.
But at the same time, he suddenly realized one thing: Lil Pea's race's ability to accelerate growth... seemed to be showing its power.
He had to start thinking about the problem of the little mermaid's mental maturity.
Although he went to bed late last night, Hao Ren still got up on time the next day. After his mental strength had improved, his recovery speed was much faster than before. Sleep was gradually becoming a controllable and customizable thing. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lil Pea doing her morning exercises at the edge of the small table. The little rascal was stretching her arms and pressing her tail, playing happily by herself. When she heard Hao Ren getting up, she immediately jumped onto the bed and slapped her tail. "Good morning, Daddy!" she said.
Hao Ren was startled. He found that Lil Pea was still as cheerful and carefree as usual. It seemed that she was not confused by the questions last night. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He gently knocked the little one on the head and said, "Good morning. When will you remember not to jump onto the bed? Don't you know you're wet? "
Lil Pea happily slapped her tail. "I know!"
Hao Ren looked at the water stains on the mat and thought to himself, "Fortunately, it's summer now. Otherwise, I would have to go outside to dry my quilt all day long. How am I supposed to explain the problem of a grown man's quilt with water stains all day long?"
It would probably be easier than explaining why his pants were wet every day...
As soon as Hao Ren went out, he saw Vivian on the phone in the living room. She seemed to be a little agitated. "... Anyway, this is a big mess. Hurry up and find out who wrote the book and how it was passed down... Okay, okay, I know what you mean. I'm not complaining about you... You'll be the biggest help to me if you find out... Absolutely not. Stay at home! Don't take this opportunity... I'm fine here. You just take care of yourself, okay? Landlord? Landlord is good. I just went on a business trip with him a few days ago... If you have the energy, why don't you help me investigate the magic book! "
"Are you on the phone with Hessiana?" Hao Ren asked after Vivian hung up the phone.
Vivian looked at the phone with a distressed expression. "... International roaming... This life is too luxurious..."
"I'll pay the phone bill for you." Hao Ren rolled his eyes. "How's the magic book?"
"She said she's going to look into it, but she doesn't know who wrote the magic book. It was a tribute from one of her subordinates, and it was an antique bought from a black market auction. There's no way to find out where it came from," Vivian sighed. Then, she suddenly changed the topic. "Compared to that, I have something to show you."
