Actually, Hao Ren already had a vague feeling that the vampire maiden possessed many secrets earlier on. This was not only his intuition at work, but there were many signs that were hard to ignore.

Frequent sleep and loss of memory, a completely different habit from that of a normal Blood Clan member, a series of abilities that only she herself could master, and her weird “body”, which could divide itself into transcendent bats. All of this was enough to make Vivian a particularly special individual. What made it even more interesting was the sculpture they found in the ruins of Olympus, and the recent “evil spirit” incident. With so many incidents, who would not have suspected it?

However, Vivian had lived for over 10,000 years and she seemed completely fine.

After leaving Raven 12345’s place, Hao Ren had not felt much relaxed. The excess information that Vivian had bothered him very much. He couldn’t help thinking about the ‘entangled causality’ argument. In most stories, entangled causality might not seem like a good thing.

The ‘causality’ entangling Vivian all seemed to point to the Plane of Dreams. Perhaps after revealing the secret of the Plane of Dreams, everything would become clear.

“My advice is that don’t let yourself fall into the quandary for too long,” the voice of MDT woke him up from his deep thoughts. “People would be suspicious of you if you keep looking that way. Entangled causality…. Sounds scary but it is nothing more than getting you entangled in troubles. As long as you have enough ability to solve problem, entangled causality is usually not fatal. Or you have no self-confidence?”

Hao Ren looked up and saw the doorstep of his house not far ahead. He patted his face and threw aside the things that he could not solve for a moment. “Screw it! Problems are meant to be solved!”

The MDT buzzed into his head. “This is it!”

Pushing the door open and stepping into the house, the oncoming cool breeze carried the heat and upset feeling that had accumulated along the way away. Hao Ren took a deep breath and felt that he was like standing in front of a waterfall—it was very pleasant. He flung himself into the sofa contentedly. His eyes closed as he sighed. “Good to be home…”

Before his voice trailed off, he heard a meow, followed by a flash of cold light in his peripheral vision. Something scratched his face. He scrambled to the side, only to see that Rollie was sulking angrily on the arm of the sofa, and her tail rested on where he had just sat—obviously, he had sat on the cat’s tail.

“I’m sorry I didn’t see you… Hey, wait a second. How many times have I told you, don’t ever squat on the handrails! Do you know how heavy you are now?”

Rollie stared at Hao Ren, baring her teeth before she turned away and continued fiddling with the remote control.

The MDT’s voice came from the side. “You’ve come to a situation where you found yourself were forced to apologise to your own pet, and the most humiliating was she seemed to not give you a hoot.”

“Shut up.”

However, he was thankful to Dumb Cat; Hao Ren had completely come out from his stress and anxiety. He did not have to worry that other family members would see how messed up he was. He sighed, shook his head, stepped forward to push Rollie’s tail to one side, and then sat in his usual customary position and turned to discuss with his cat. “Can I watch TV?”

Dumb Cat hid the TV remote control under her clothes. “No.”

Hao Ren sullenly buried his face in his hand. He did not only have to apologise to his pet, but also even have to get his pet’s permission in order to watch the TV. Right now, he really missed the time when Rollie had not transcended. At that time, the cat was so much easier to deal with; he would just have to grab the cat by its neck and throw her outside…

He could not help turning around and staring at the cat-maiden, as if looking for the right angle and position where he needed to grab and toss her away. But he quickly sighed: now the shoe was in the other foot, there is no way for him to do that already. If he were to slap the cat now, probably all the anti-animal cruelty, feminist, and human rights organisations would show up protesting in his doorstep.

Rollie felt an unexplained chill behind her neck. She was scared a little and looked at Hao Ren with a puzzled look. Her eyes were reflecting her master’s lazy face. “Big boss Cat, were you in bad mood? Are you okay now?”

It was called animal’s intuition. The demonic cat who had yet fully shed her animal instinct could already feel the slight changes in Hao Ren’s mood. The cat-maiden’s concern for him had pleasantly surprised Hao Ren. He could not help but smile back, reached out, and cuddled her ear. “I’m fine.”

“Oh, so I will get little dried fish today?”

Hao Ren: “…”

Every time his impression about Dumb Cat changed, it would be ruined by her dried-fish obsession.

At this time, Vivian was rubbing her hands as she walked out from the kitchen. She had sensed the Hao Ren was back home so she came out to meet him. “You’re back! I thought that the Goddess would ask you to stay for dinner. Dinner will be ready in a short while. Doggie and I had gone out to the market just now.”

Seeing Vivian, Hao Ren still could not help but think of what Raven 12345 had said to him. He instinctively took a few glances at the vampire maiden, as if he wanted to ‘see’ what information she was carrying in her body. Of course doing that made no sense.

“Why are you staring at me like that? Oil on my face?” Vivian was baffled, wiping her face with the back of her hand.

Hao Ren quickly came out from his thought and steered away from the subject. “Oh, nothing. I just want to say you look good in this dress.”

Vivian was even more baffled. She looked down at her body; apart from an old dress, there was a new apron that she sewed it herself. So she was rightly mistaken. “Oh, you like the apron…”

Hao Ren did not know what the maiden was thinking. He looked her. She was in her human form. There was no ice and cool air. He was a little surprised. “Are you not responsible for making cool air today?”

Vivian lifted her finger and pointed in the direction of the stairs. “They are the one on duty today. The two girls want us experience icy ocean breeze.”

Hao Ren did not notice anything else in the living at first. Now when he looked up the stairs he was shocked. Two giant snake tails were lying on the stairs all the way down from the upper floor. He looked up. It Nangong Wuyue and Ayesha were lying side-by-side on the stairs baring their tails, which covered the entire stairway and emanated a humidly cool breeze that wafted through the entire house. Now he only realised the unusual humid cool air that differed from the dry and cold air that Vivian usually made.

“The house looks like a zoo all day,” looking at this bizarre scene, Hao Ren’s various geeks in movies began to roll out in his mind. “For the unaware, they would jump out of their skin if they see this… By the way, why do you guys have to lie on the stairs just to make some cool air?”

The tail on the ground floor that belonged Nangong Wuyue lifted up and waved as her voice was heard from the first floor. “It’s therapeutics. Lying on a slope and stretching tail cures insomnia, mom taught me that. She said it is called Gravity Therapy.”

Hao Ren was startled for a moment, he was thinking he had better not to dive deep into the habits of the demonic girls. But he still asked quietly, “How should people get up the stairs?”

Nangong Wuyue kept swinging her tail. “Mr. Landlord, let’s try it. I can roll you up. It’s definitely better than the elevator.”

“Then what about getting down the stairs?”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Y’lisabet jumping on the landing on the first floor. The little girl motioned to the two sirens before she sat down directly on Ayesha’s tail, and screamed excitedly while sliding all the way down. These unusual creatures’ outside-the-box creativity made him speechless and impressed, for better or worse. He thought that he wouldn’t be surprised if one day his house’s stairs could transcended as well.

As he was thinking, Y’lisabet already cheerfully let Nangong Wuyue roll her up the first floor as she screamed in excitement. He quickly could only correct what he thought: it could be a transcending slide.

No matter how much trouble the outside world was wait for him, Hao Ren’s house was having another peaceful day as always.

At least for now.
