Hao Ren spent most of the day at Raven 12345's place. By the time he returned, it was almost evening. As he turned the corner, he saw Lily standing on her tiptoes, trying to look at the intersection. She looked like a puppy that was left at home by its owner. He was used to seeing her like that.
Lily saw Hao Ren and immediately rushed up to him. "Mr. Landlord, you're back! What are you having for dinner?"
"Can't you consider your dignity as a werewolf once in a while?" Hao Ren sighed and passed the net in his hand to her. "Here are your favorite pork ribs. I'll stew it tonight and have pork ribs noodles tomorrow afternoon."
After more than half a month of interaction, Hao Ren had completely grasped Lily's personality. The werewolf girl's preferences were simple and easy to understand. As long as she could eat something delicious, everything would be fine. Her two favorite things were the pork ribs stewed by Vivian and the noodles cooked by Hao Ren. If it was pork ribs, it was understandable. At least it was meat. But what was with the noodles? Were werewolves supposed to eat noodles?
Anyway, no one could figure out how Lily turned from a werewolf to an omnivore. Anyway, it was a good thing. Omnivorous animals were easy to feed. If Lily really ate 20 pounds of fresh meat a day like a normal werewolf, even if Hao Ren could handle it financially, the butcher might not be able to handle it mentally...
Lily happily ran into the house to look for Vivian with the pork ribs in her hand. It was the only time she would say a few nice words to Vivian. She was willing to lower herself to her enemy for a few mouthfuls of good food. Where was her dignity as a werewolf?
Hao Ren speechlessly watched Lily go into the kitchen. He then entered the house and locked the door. When he looked up, he saw a burly man sitting in the middle of the living room. Y'zaks was simply too eye-catching. With his 2.15-meter frame, he would be a landmark no matter where he went. Coupled with his anti-social demeanor, it was a problem to bring him out. Two days ago, when Hao Ren brought Y'zaks to the market to buy food, an old lady called the Public Security Bureau just as they reached East Third Street... What the hell was going on?
Y'zaks did not seem to notice that Hao Ren had come back. He was curled up on the sofa, concentrating on studying a Chinese dictionary. The dictionary in his hand was like a small booklet, and he could only hold it with a few fingers. Looking at the serious expression on the big, ferocious face, Hao Ren really wanted to laugh out loud. Why did such a good-tempered big guy have such a face?
"Still studying Chinese pronunciation?" Hao Ren curiously leaned forward and found that Y'zaks had drawn a lot of curved symbols on the dictionary, which were obviously demonic characters. He was immediately moved by the great demon's diligent spirit. At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed: this dictionary had been left at home for more than four years. As an earthling, he was afraid that the effort he put into studying it was not as deep as Y'zaks' in the past two days...
"Oh, you're back." Y'zaks looked up and saw Hao Ren. The demonic language sounded like a tape that was played backwards. The pronunciation was strange and the tone was vague. The difficulty of recognizing it was second only to Japanese English. Vivian and Lily had not learned a single word in the past two days, so Hao Ren was the only one in the house who could communicate normally with Y'zaks. The great demon knew this very well, so when he saw Hao Ren coming home, he was very happy. "Finally, I have someone to talk to. Is everything going well?"
"It's going well. Raven 12345 pointed me in the right direction. That should be an answer. By the way, what have you learned from learning Chinese for the past two days? "
"This is really hard to learn." Y'zaks threw the dictionary aside in frustration. The great demon seemed to be unable to handle this kind of work. "I think it's even harder than Elvish. Yesterday and today, I didn't understand four words: Pit, Hole, Hole, Eye. How did you guys manage to learn this language back then?"
Hao Ren's forehead was sweating. "These four words are enough to dissuade 80% of the foreign students who came to China. Don't bother with them. I'm just here to tell you that Raven 12345 has applied for a new thing. It can help you solve your language problem. I'll bring you to her place in two days, and bring Vivian and Lily along. You guys can do a 'small operation' together. Then, you can bring your own translator."
Hao Ren said as he observed Y'zaks' expression. He wanted to see how the great demon would react to the "small operation". After all, in his impression, there were not many big bosses who would be willing to let others operate on them. But to his disappointment, Y'zaks' face was expressionless. He just nodded and said, "Oh, okay. I should also say hello to the goddess here."
"Then you have to be mentally prepared," Hao Ren kindly reminded. "She wants you to lie in a strange thing. Don't get mad..."
"I know what you mean," Y'zaks said with a scary grin. "Those things that look like coffins, right? Coffins in most worlds look the same, and most of the equipment made by Xi Ling Celestials look like coffins. I've already experienced it... "
Hao Ren was speechless.
"Time to eat!"
While Hao Ren and Y'zaks were discussing who inspired the coffin equipment of the Xiling Empire, Vivian's voice suddenly came from the kitchen and pulled the two men out of their meaningless conversation.
Vivian came to the living room with the rice cooker, followed by Lily who was wagging her tail, and Rollie who was arrogant. The three of them walked in an imposing manner. Before Hao Ren and Y'zaks could sit down at the table, Vivian pointed to the kitchen and yelled, "Wash your hands first!"
Y'zaks did not understand what Vivian was saying, but he knew what was going on from her gestures and the direction she was pointing at. So the great demon got up, lowered his head and obediently went to the bathroom to wash his hands, leaving Hao Ren in awe.
Vivian, who had just finished her chores, had an imposing manner. She even dared to yell at the great demon. Hao Ren felt that this vampire was probably awakening the attributes of a housewife. Well, that was a good thing.
The dinner was light. Rice porridge and steamed buns were enough. Only the portions were large enough to satisfy Lily and Y'zaks' gluttonous stomachs. Vivian's cooking skills were unquestionable. As an ancient creature that had been wandering for tens of thousands of years, she was familiar with every cooking method on this planet, including how to roast saber-toothed tigers. If it were not for the fact that the ingredients had gone extinct, Hao Ren believed that he could have an unprecedentedly sumptuous dinner every day.
Lily stuck two steamed buns into her chopsticks and nibbled on them like a candied haw. She looked towards the kitchen while chewing and said, "I want to eat pork ribs..."
"It's still raw." Vivian was probably still in her housewife mode. Her tone was still very gentle when she spoke to Lily. "It needs at least three hours before it can be cooked. I have my principles when it comes to stewing pork ribs."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and thought, "Can't you use your principles in a more normal way?"
While everyone was busy eating, Hao Ren was looking for the remote control to turn on the TV. Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the silence in the living room.
It turned out that Lily was holding a small plate and wanted to take a few mouthfuls of food from the other side of the table. But now, the small plate had been crushed into pieces in her hand. The ceramic pieces fell all over the table.
While Hao Ren was still in a daze, Vivian yelled, "Doggie, can't you have a little patience? I just asked you to eat meat tomorrow. Do you have to be so angry? This bowl belongs to Mr. Landlord! "
"No... I didn't do it on purpose!" Lily seemed to be shocked too. She hurriedly picked up the broken plate and looked at Hao Ren in panic. "Mr. Landlord, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what happened just now. I suddenly lost control of my strength..."
"Crack!"
Before Lily's voice trailed off, there was another crisp sound. She had crushed the bowl again.
Just when Vivian was about to lose her temper, Hao Ren suddenly noticed that Lily was in a strange state. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Something's wrong. Look at Lily's eyes."
Lily was in her werewolf form. Although she was used to maintaining her human form at home, for some reason, she was in her werewolf form tonight. And now, her golden eyes were brighter than usual, even to the extent that they were glowing!
"Lily... Your hand seems to be trembling." Hao Ren's eyes finally fell on Lily's hand. He knew that the situation was bad.
