Chapter 97

Vivian's plan to collaborate with a large dog to develop a new technology for roasting lamb skewers and become a rich person finally went bankrupt on the second day of its execution. The reason for the bankruptcy was not that the plan itself was unfeasible, but that Lily couldn't control her mouth. This silly girl would basically eat all the meat in her sight, including the failed products that she had charred to a crisp, and her determination to do so was so strong that she wouldn't change even if beaten to death. Vivian realized that it would be very difficult to continue working with this husky...

Now, let's talk about Lily's side. The silly husky girl was quite satisfied with her new paws. Although no one could explain why she had evolved to have a pair of detachable paws, Lily herself didn't think too much about it. She just found that these non-metal, non-stone sharp claws were quite useful, so she was currently practicing kung fu every day, even though it looked to others like she was just jumping around and swinging her arms wildly.

Hao Ren could understand Lily's excitement. After all, this silly girl had only her strength that met the standard of being "different" since birth. Apart from that brute strength, she had few skills to speak of. As Vivian put it, a normal werewolf, even the least capable one, would have one or two innate skills, such as toxins or shadow concealment, which were called "semi-magical" techniques. But Lily had none of these. Before, Lily hadn't felt any disappointment because she hadn't interacted with other supernatural beings. Now, after meeting Vivian and hearing many stories about her "kind" from the vampire girl, she naturally felt a bit restless. Although her identity had been shockingly revealed after evolving, at least she had finally gained superpowers, which couldn't help but make the silly husky jump around in joy.

Early in the morning, Hao Ren went out for a walk as usual, bought Lily's favorite meat bones and a few packs of spicy sticks, and brought back some new kitchen utensils and fresh vegetables for the vampire at home. He felt that he was increasingly becoming a nanny or guardian for the two abnormal girls rather than a normal landlord, but he thought this kind of life was also quite nice—after all, the daily expenses of supernatural beings could be reimbursed by Raven 12345, and he just needed to make his tenants happy, which was a pretty good pace of life.

However, when Hao Ren pushed the door open and entered the house, he noticed something: "Where's Izaak?"

The Great Demon would sit on the living room sofa and watch TV at this time every day, studying human affairs, which was a fixed habit of his. Seeing no one on the sofa, Hao Ren's first reaction was that Izaak wasn't at home.

"The big guy went out," Vivian said casually, dragging the vacuum cleaner to clean the living room. "He said he wanted to find something to do, as staying at home all day was boring."

Hao Ren was about to nod instinctively but suddenly realized something and immediately jumped half a meter high: "What?! He went out?! Why didn't you stop him?"

"Why should we stop him?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren strangely. "He's free to go out, it's not a prison."

Hao Ren was speechless, gesturing for a while before realizing it was hard to explain Izaak's image problem to an extraterrestrial being. Moreover, Vivian was right; he couldn't restrict someone's activities just because their face was more likely to cause trouble—frankly speaking, Izaak had already undergone a miraculous transformation from a five-meter-tall giant demon to a two-meter-tall muscular man, and although he still didn't look very good, at least he had tried.

So Hao Ren could only wave his hand: "I hope he doesn't get into a conflict with the local police. If I had gone with him, I could have helped in a pinch. By the way, did he say when he would be back?"

At this moment, Lily came out of her room carrying a small box and answered: "He said he wanted to go to the city center to see the human world. He basically slept in the other dimension when he was in England, so he didn't get enough of it. He said he would be back by the afternoon at the earliest, or in the evening at the latest. He said he would eat out and get used to the human social environment."

Hao Ren noticed something was wrong and asked anxiously: "Does he have money?"

Lily nodded: "I lent him two hundred."

Hao Ren's heart immediately calmed down, thinking that hopefully the Great Demon wouldn't cause any trouble, otherwise he would only see him in the news in a few days.

A man who could cause a robbery-like commotion while shopping at a supermarket and attract a bunch of plainclothes police officers just by walking down the street, choosing to go to the bustling city center for his first outing—ha ha...

"Are you going out?" Hao Ren suddenly noticed that Lily was holding a box and looked ready to go, so he asked casually.

Lily nodded: "Yeah, I talked it over with Green Bean. I'm going to take it to the vet at 9:30 this morning."

It took Hao Ren a while to remember that "Green Bean" was the name of a stray dog on the neighboring street. The stray dogs in this area didn't have names, but after the "kind-hearted traveling doctor Liu Lily" came to the southern suburbs, all the stray dogs were given names. Green Bean was a Chinese rural dog (a mixed breed) with a problem in its hind legs, and it was named after Lily was eating a green bean popsicle when they first met. Due to its chronic leg problem, it was one of Lily's regular patients.

Every time Hao Ren heard Lily talk about the dogs in the southern suburbs, he had to think for a while to understand who she was talking about, because in the silly husky's worldview, there was no distinction between humans and dogs. In her eyes, dogs and humans were the same, so she always talked about her "patients" as if they were acquaintances. The last time Lily and Hao Ren were having dinner, she casually mentioned, "The Prince Reinhardt in the neighborhood often talks about you," and Hao Ren didn't figure out until 2:30 in the afternoon that "Prince Reinhardt" was the Pekingese dog at the Zhang family's house on the back street... He almost thought he had a long-lost European noble uncle!

Vivian put down the vacuum cleaner and pointed to the ribs on the table: "Are you coming back for lunch?"

Lily quickly swallowed and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Bat, don't you dare eat my bones!"

"Who wants to fight you for food, you big dog," Vivian said, taking the bag of ribs to the kitchen. "If you come back, I'll start cooking the meat now, and it should be flavorful by lunchtime."

Hao Ren watched the normal conversation between Lily and Vivian and sighed with many thoughts: "Your relationship has finally improved."

Sure enough, two screams immediately rang out: "Who is good with the bat (big dog)?!"

Hao Ren chuckled and finally coaxed Lily out of the door. He then sat on the sofa and opened the data terminal to see if the report he had submitted to Raven 12345 a few days ago had received a response.

The day after Lily's evolution, Hao Ren wrote the report. Although his writing wasn't great, he basically described the process of the "werewolf transformation revealing the husky's true form" in detail. He thought that even if Raven 12345 was unreliable, she should have a quick response to such a surprising report. However, when he opened the data terminal, he saw that his report only had a "read" stamp, and the crazy woman hadn't left any comments.

Hao Ren casually sent a contact request to Raven, but the response was a solemn-sounding but utterly shameless automated reply: "The God you are calling is not at home. Please leave a message after the beep. If a believer is in an emergency, please consult the self-help divine revelation—prayer system. If a servant of the army or other military personnel is in an emergency, please consult the self-help assistance terminal. If a formal reviewer is in an emergency, please call the nearest armed support department. If Hao Ren is in an emergency, please use your inner strength and faith to get through it."

Hao Ren: "..."

"The machine has a suggestion," the data terminal suddenly said. "You can grab an axe and rush to the office of 12345, call out her arcane servant, and challenge her to a duel. Cut from the office to the archive, then from the archive to the power room, and finally leave a crazy message on the local channel calling her a lunatic."

"Can this make her recognize my talent and value?"

"No, but you'll die with more dignity, and at least you'll make the front page of the local channel."

Hao Ren thought for a moment and handed the data terminal to Vivian: "Throw it in the kitchen, boil it for half an hour, and add more cilantro."

"Try it if you dare! Do you think I won't drill a hole in your pot?!"

The morning passed quickly with Hao Ren and the data terminal bickering, and then... Lily didn't come back for lunch.
