Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news that was relayed by the MDT surprised Hao Ren. “You’ve found it? That quick?”

“Two working days doesn’t necessarily mean it has to take two days. Don’t compare the efficiency of the empire with that on earth.” Quipped the MDT. “When are you going to depart? I’d first inform Kuiper Station and World’s Gate to register your flight.”

Hao Ren thought for a moment, probably he needed to plan carefully beforehand, like getting himself prepped up, taking a shower, putting up a suit, burning incense and praying as it was going to be his first trip to the other universe. But he had little time to do all that because Hilda was in a hurry. “Tomorrow. Depart in the morning.”

The MDT proceeded to inform all the relevant flight management units. The mind to mind conversation took less than a second to complete. In Liu Sheng’s observation, Hao Ren had just paused for friction of a second before he dragged Vivian to a side. “Let me first buy you a phone. Then we’ll go home—there’s a job.”

Liu Sheng patted on Zhao Xi’s shoulder and said, “Quick, serve your customer. It’s going to be your first sale since on the job.”

This was unprecedented: an unusual creature came shopping in the territory of demon hunters, hospitality was generously shown, and both sides were fully aware of each other’s identity. If not for there wasn’t Weibo in the world of unusual creatures, Vivian would have snapped a photo and brag about it with the other old-fashioned fellows. But then again, this poor vampire was still newbie to internet—she had never gone online in the past…

Liu Sheng attached great importance to today’s historical moment; he personally accompanied the two special guests choosing their mobile phone. This attracted the eyeballs of other shopkeepers who were wondering who were the two fellows. After a moment, Hao Ren selected a model which was small and beautiful, and had been craved by the poor vampire for her entire life. As they got the SIM registered, they left the shop and met with other team members at the entrance. Vivian was giggling all the way as they left, leaving Hao Ren wondering if the maiden had gone mad.

“I’m a happy person.” A sense of total satisfaction hung on he face. “There’s no more regret in life.”

“You should think bigger. That makes me said.”

Hao Ren had Vivian call Y’zaks and Nangong Wuyue to get to the rendezvous point. The vampire maiden was speedy in everything she did but when it came to dialing the phone, she was clumsy and needed help from Hao Ren—she hadn’t once used such a high-tect gadget, the one she had had was a black-and-white-display feature phone she had bought with with her life-savings. Furthermore, she had never dialed a number before because she had zero contact in her contact list.

They met with Nangong Wuyue and Becky who were carrying bags of booty, and Y’zaks who was surrounded by curious shoppers at the entrance. Nangong Wuyue was speaking softly into the ears of Becky; it was roughly about Nangong Wuyue had only remembered to buy Becky undergarments halfway through their shopping spree. By guesstimation, she bought a few set of undergarments for Becky. And now Becky was wondering what those ‘armours’ were for. Meanwhile, Hao Ren hadn’t seen Lily showing up yet, he patted on the arm of Y’zaks (that’s the highest he could reach), asking, “Where’s Lily?”

Y’zaks pointed to the square. “There she is. She said she wanted to let her tail to have some fresh air, she’s been running for several rounds…”

Hao Ren looked at where Y’zaks had pointed and felt an instant daze: as the exhibition in the square continued, the most eye-catching thing among the crowd was the silver-haired, fluffy-tailed female canine. Lily was jumping up and down, wagging her tail and fully enjoying her time in the crowd—though no sane people could appreciate what was so happy about that. Anyway, the natural silver fur and the free-spinning tail looked totally of another level compared to the fake stuff in the square; the natural lustre on the fur was something unfakable, and Lily was always surrounded by a group of kids who scrambled to take photos with her. But poor kids, they could never catch up with Lily. The husky just liked to romp about and she would never stay still so that you could snap a picture with her.

Vivian looked on as her jaw dropped to the ground. “How dare could she be… there’re at least two demon hunters in the mall! I’m wondering how she has managed to stay alive till now.”

“Luck is always sided with the naive.” Hao Ren sighed. He then leaped over the barrier and tried to drag the husky back in. No one had stopped him because the security was a little lax out there.”

While he was out there, Hao Ren heard two of the kids were murmuring among themselves as they pointed at Lily. “Where did she buy that wig? It seems the ears and the wig are of one piece…” “It’s definitely high-tech. Most likely it’s one piece.” “Look! Her tail could move. It was much flexible than the one I bought online.” “I’m sure it’s high-tech.” “Absolutely. I could even see her ears moved.” “Absolutely…”

Sweat was running down his forehead as he overheard the conversation. But he couldn’t get hold on Lily as Lily was scurrying around and among the crowd, he could only stay out there and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Doggie! You hungry?”

He knew Lily wasn’t going to hear him if he called her name, so he had to make an impact with ‘Beast Summon’ to summon the husky inborn with an enrage effect out of the crowd…

Just as intended, Lily appeared ans stopped before Hao Ren like a white shadow. “Landlord, are you bluffing me or what why are you calling me doggie like what Battie call me this’ a fun place and look at my tail it’s going to grow in thicker fur no more fur shedding in a couple of days…”

“Could you please slow down your words and don’t forget punctuation as well.” Hao Ren was holding her back to avoid her licking his face. “We got to go. Hilda has found her home. If you behave, I’m going to bring you along this time.”

Lily’s eyes flashed, her ears and tailed stood erect before she wheeled and ran toward some corner in the square. Two seconds later, she reappeared at the same speed as she left, her ears and tailed had been tucked away. “Landlord, let’s go, let’s go…”

Nearby, the two girls were still discussing. “Whoa, she has removed her make-up. That fast!” “Definitely high-tech.” “How did she manage to take off the tail and the wig so fast? Doesn’t this electric-powered gadget have some kind of strap?” “Probably it’s high-tech…”

Hao Ren dragged the high-tech doggie and set off their way home. Halfway down the journey, adrenaline began to catch up with Lily and she finally realised Vivian was draped in a new cloth. She was astonished. “Battie, you changed your fur?”

It seemed she was till unsober.

When Vivian relating how they had unexpectedly bumped into Liu Sheng and Zhao Xi earlier, Lily only woke up to her senses and shivered. “Wait a second. Did you just say that there were two demon hunters lurking around within two hundred metres from me?”

“Yes. Probably they had seen you.” blustering Hao Ren. “Just that they didn’t bother about you.”

Lily piped down in an instant.

They hurried and arrived home right before one o’clock in the afternoon. No time for cooking. They bought some dishes from the restaurant. Hao Ren was worried if Hilda the elf would be okay all alone at home. But when he stepped through the door, he was relieved: Hilda was sitting quietly on the couch enjoying the TV and it looked like that was how she had spent her time the whole day.

“Welcome back.” Hilda got to her feet and greeted everyone very politely. Before Hao Ren could tell her about the news of her homeland, a tiny shadow swooped before him: Lil Pea had jumped half a metre up out of the basin and in his face, stunning Hao Ren. Hilda quickly related what had happened earlier. “While you were out, this little thing fought with the four-legged furry pet but I couldn’t stop them.”

Hao Ren froze for a moment before getting what Hilda meant; Lil Pea had fought with Rollie and that made him in cold sweat. He quickly held up Lil Pea and examined her. “Why did they fight… let me see if she’s hurt…”

“It’s the furry creature which provoked her. It might be hungry that’s why it bit this little thing.” said Hilda as she picked up a shivering black-and-white cat, which had lost several patches of fur, from behind the couch. “It was beaten like this just slightly under five seconds…”

Lil Pea happily wagged and patted her tail on Hao Ren’s arm, revealing a bunch of fur still in her hand.

Hao Ren: “…..”
