Lily's Husky heritage turned out to be quite useful, for example, it gave her an unprecedentedly strong nerve and an almost carefree attitude, to the point where Hao Ren felt that her ability to accept things had become so powerful that even if someone wanted to kill her entire family, she might not even react—thanks to this gift, when Vivian mentioned the "one-sixteenth Pekingese heritage," Lily didn't faint on the spot.
Hao Ren fainted.
Hao Ren's reaction was more intense than Lily's, the person directly involved. After he got up from the ground, he immediately pounced in front of Vivian: "What did you just say? What do you mean by Pekingese heritage?"
Vivian was much calmer, after all, she had been through a lot: "If Husky spirits can turn into werewolves, what's so strange about Pekingese heritage? What if there's really a Pekingese branch among werewolves?"
Hao Ren: "What's the deal with werewolves in the real world!"
"Think positively, you're not the only one surprised, I'm just as surprised," Vivian patted Hao Ren's shoulder. "To be honest, in all my years, I've never seen a werewolf like Lily... but the facts are right in front of us, so we can only speculate."
"I don't think Lily is a werewolf at all," Hao Ren tried to clear his mind and firmly said with his last bit of rationality, "Husky spirits are already weird enough, and now there's this Pekingese heritage... anyway, I don't believe there are such bizarre branches among werewolves."
Lily looked at Hao Ren and then at Vivian, curious: "Then what am I?"
Hao Ren grabbed Lily's hand: "You're just a Husky... let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
"Oh," Lily thought for a moment, realizing she couldn't explain this either, so her habit of not thinking about things she couldn't understand took over, and she could only nod in resignation, "Then... what should I do in the future?"
"Do what you've been doing," Vivian said, "You've lived your life for decades, hasn't Husky heritage not affected your normal life? Besides, 'abnormals' are already marginalized, it's already good to live a peaceful life. Even the nobles in our vampire race are almost extinct, who cares about heritage in other races? Even if you have pure heritage, can you eat it?"
Sure enough, in the end, it was Vivian who remained optimistic. This poor person who often went hungry always considered "being able to eat" as an important benchmark in life, and as long as she reached this standard, she was content—this worldview was exactly what Lily needed at the moment.
Lily rarely encountered things that troubled her in her life, and this was one of them. Hopefully, her Husky heritage would grant her a good mindset to get through this. While Lily was thinking about life on the sofa, Hao Ren talked to Vivian: "By the way, how did you check for that one-sixteenth Pekingese heritage? Even if vampires have the talent for this... you'd have to know what Pekingese heritage tastes like, right?"
Vivian smiled lightly: "I've tasted Pekingese blood, I can analyze the genetic characteristics of various cats and dogs."
Hao Ren was stunned: "You've tasted the blood of cats and dogs? Why?"
"Because I was poor."
Hao Ren: "..."
It was hard to imagine how many times Vivian had nearly starved to death in her life. She was able to survive this long thanks to the rich biodiversity on Earth...
"By the way, big dog, let's talk about something happy," Vivian also felt that her nearly starved-to-death life experiences weren't worth dwelling on, so she quickly changed the subject, "Do you feel any changes? Besides the ancestral transformation, do you have any new abilities? After all, you've evolved."
Lily was indeed very happy when she heard this, her tail wagged unconsciously: "Yes, yes, look at this..."
As she spoke, the werewolf girl stretched out her hands and formed claws in the air. Then, a strange scene unfolded:
Two eerie glows began to spread over her hands and slowly condensed into solid form. One glow emitted a chilling cold, ice-blue in color, while the other was a fiery red, hot to the touch. These two glows extended from Lily's wrists, reaching out about half a meter, and then slowly solidified, eventually forming a pair of claw-like weapons.
The claw on her left hand was ice-blue and emitted a chilling cold, while the claw on her right hand was a fiery red, hot enough to be felt from two meters away. Apart from the color, the two claws were identical, resembling deformed wolf claws, looking like custom-made weapons that imitated animal features.
"Here they are!" Lily said happily, "I dreamed about having these claws last night, and when I woke up, they were real! Aren't they beautiful?"
Vivian: "..."
"Is something wrong?" Hao Ren noticed the vampire girl's unusual silence and couldn't help but ask.
"This can't be explained at all!" Vivian's expression was bizarre, she looked at Lily as if she were a monster, "Why did you get these claws after evolving? These claws seem to have nothing to do with last night's transformation! I thought you would get some superpower, and normal werewolves usually develop a new ability when they come of age, but you... you developed two new claws?!"
"I don't know," Lily poked her face with the claws, a bit worried, "Don't normal werewolves change their claws when they come of age? Did I fail to evolve?"
Hao Ren quickly interjected: "No, no, you're a Husky, don't compare yourself to them..."
Lily: "..."
"Never mind, claws are claws," Vivian waved her hand in defeat, "Huskies can become spirits, so what's impossible? Anyway, we've confirmed two changes for you: one is that you can transform into a super-giant battle Husky by eating a lot of spicy sticks, and the other is that you can enhance your claws in werewolf form. Just these two, right?"
Lily nodded proudly: "Yeah! Pretty cool, right?"
Vivian found it hard to continue a serious conversation with this dog person, so she had to go with the flow. She waved at Lily: "Okay, okay, let me see your claws, I need to determine if they are physical or magical."
"Sure, sure," Lily nodded happily and casually took off the two claws and handed them to Vivian, "Here you go, but be careful, the red one is very hot. It doesn't hurt me, but it might hurt you."
It seemed that after last night's ordeal, the relationship between Lily and Vivian had improved a lot, and they were now showing concern for each other.
But that wasn't the point. The point was that the moment Lily took off her claws, the entire living room fell into an eerie silence.
"This... these can actually be taken off?!" Vivian's first reaction upon receiving the claws was to jump in place, "You actually took them off?!"
Hao Ren was at a loss for words. He realized that it would take a long time, a very long time, to establish a new worldview, and this might even be a lifelong endeavor as long as he continued to live with his abnormal tenants.
"They can be taken off," Lily nodded matter-of-factly, "They're held in my hands, not attached to my arms."
"What kind of principle is this? I've never seen anything like it in all my years..." Vivian's mouth twitched as she muttered and reached out to take the strange Husky claws, but the moment her hands touched them, she pulled back as if electrocuted, "Ouch—hot!"
Sure enough, these claws were harmless only to Lily. The cold and heat they emitted were not illusions, especially the red claw, which felt like a red-hot iron when touched by others, even Vivian couldn't tolerate the temperature.
Vivian pulled her hand back, but Lily didn't react. The Husky subconsciously let go of her divine weapons, and Hao Ren exclaimed in shock: "My..."
The pair of claws fell on the table, the ice-blue claw instantly covered the surface with a thin layer of ice, while the fiery red claw was even more dramatic. It fell vertically and, like a red-hot knife slicing through butter, it effortlessly burned through the table with a "sizzle."
Hao Ren finally managed to finish his sentence: "The table..."
(October 1st is coming up, and there will be an event on the YY channel. Should I try to resume single updates now and then double up on October 1st to pretend I'm bursting... that's a good idea!)
