The Record of Unusual Creature

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since meeting Lily and learning about her husky nature, Hao Ren never expected the maiden’s life to be logical. It was especially true after he found that Lily would shapeshift after eating Spicy Sticks. But no matter how imaginative Hao Ren was, he could not believe his eyes when Lily actually succeeded in learning a new skill via “self-studying.”

She managed to reproduce the Doggoblast while she played the water-spitting game with Lil Pea.

“Ahh, Mr. Landlord!” Lily finally noticed that Hao Ren was there. She jumped up at Hao Ren and wagged her tail excitedly. “Did you see that, Mr. Landlord? I did it!”

“I’ve been standing here for like half a decade. What do you think?” Hao Ren massaged his forehead with his fingers.

“That’s impossible!” Lily was wide-eyed. “I have sensitive senses. If you were here, I would have sensed it.”

Deciding not to argue with the husky, Hao Ren turned to Lil Pea, who was clapping her tail trying to impress him. “So, you two were testing the Doggoblast just now, eh? Well, I mean Sky… roar… or something.”

Lily nodded matter-of-factly.

“You could learn that from a mermaid?” Hao Ren still couldn’t accept it.

“Yeah, why not. There is logic in it!” Lily looked serious. “Water spitting is just a physical movement. The most important thing is to increase concentration by using physical movements. The shot I fired at Lockmarton was an accident. I didn’t have time to figure out what happened. So I had to find an external factor to help me recall the ‘mouthfeel’ of that time.”

Hao Ren was struck dumb by Lily’s theory. Alas, he still refused to believe the husky. But he was dead sure of one thing—this false theory was only possible when applied to Lily.

“Let’s not talk about the ‘mouthfeel’ first. Do you know what this energy beam is all about? From where did you learn this skill?”

Hao Ren was worried that Lily might have undergone some mutation after spending some time in Collow. The Doggoblast skill seemed like an excellent addition to her abilities, but there could be a hidden downside behind it.

Lily rolled her eyes and thought for a moment. She then knocked her fist and said, “It must be my daily work out!”

Hao Ren was struck dumb.

Looking for reliable information from Lily was indeed not a good idea. The husky had even reincarnated into a wrong body; that was how messed up she was. It seemed that it was high time to give Lily a full body checkup.

“Mr. Landlord, are you looking for me?” Lily suddenly asked.

“I come to tell you that it’s time to go home. We have been away from home for nearly two months,” Hao Ren said with a smile.

Lily was excited to hear that. She jumped two meters in the air and exclaimed, “Arf! Arf! Finally, we can go home!”

Lily’s reaction was somewhat out of her character. Hao Ren was stunned. He asked, “Isn’t husky like to go out? You seem different now.”

“Come on, who could stand it after two months of wandering?” Lily was too excited to argue with Hao Ren. She grabbed Hao Ren’s arm and hurried him. Let’s go, let’s go. I want to go home. I miss my bed.”

After almost two months away from the earth, Hao Ren and his buddies finally returned to their home in Southern Suburbs.

The palace of Taros, the sacred sanctuary of Sanctum, and all the magnificent buildings did not feel as safe and warm at home. At least at home, they did not have to worry about the monsters that came out of nowhere.

As they pushed the door open, Hao Ren was surprised to find that the amount of dust in the house was significantly less than that of an abandoned house for two months. Hao Ren was sure that he had brought everyone in the home the last time he departed. “Did someone clean the house while we were away?”

“We felt it bored after spending some times outside. There was nothing that we could do onboard the spaceship except reading, playing a card game and such. So during the two months, we had come back several times.” Nangong Wuyue said with a smile on her face. “But later, when we didn’t receive news from you, we didn’t have the mood to come back again. So dust began to build up later. Perhaps I should do some serious cleanup now.”

While saying, the siren maiden form-shifted into an octopus—the upper body of a girl and the octopus tentacles on the lower body. Hao Ren was wide-eyed. Nangong Wuyue started working with each ‘hand’ holding a cleaning cloth.

“When did she start to change into this thing?” Hao Ren asked.

“Doggie said octopus could do clean the floor more efficiently,” Vivian said. “Don’t you think so?”

Hao Ren looked back at her and said, “Err, once accepting her look, then it begins to make sense. Let’s not talking about this. Everyone help clean things up. The house has been vacant for some time, I wonder what has happened to the food in the refrigerator. Y’zaks, can you check the cooking gas tank if it needs refilling? Lily, go to help Wuyue clean the house, take out the garbage or something. Sanba, could you please go to the stores and buy some fresh vegetable and meat?”

The great demon and the dog maiden were pretty helpful. But Nangong Sanba was a little lazy after flinging himself on the sofa. “I buy the grocery this time?”

Hao Ren glared at him. “What do you think? The cashier girl might give you some extra onions because of your look. Had I known you could get such favorable treatment, I wouldn’t have asked Vivian to do it a long time ago.”

While saying, Hao Ren went to the main power box, opened the plastic cover, and pushed the lever. The lights in the house instantly lit up with a snap. He especially liked this moment. After away for months, switching on the lights at home was such an enjoyable ‘ceremony.’ It was a signal that symbolized the joy of coming home. Hao Ren looked around with satisfaction and then went up to the upper floor, ready to help clean up the house.

“Big Boss Cat, why are you happy,” Rollie asked as she looked up, seeing Hao Ren’s smiling face. Her tail had curled into a question mark in the air.

“Because he finally got home,” Vivian gently scratched Rollie’s ear and said. But Vivian seemed to be a little worried.

Liveliness had returned to the house after two months of silence. Specifically, it was all hell broke loose again in the house. Everyone was excited about being at home after a long trip. It was especially true for Lily and Rollie, who had turned the place into a madhouse. Had there no organizations such as animal’s rights group and women’s federation, Hao Ren would have thrown the two outside the door.

After dinner, Rollie lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh. “Phew…. home sweet home.”

While saying, Rollie patted the sofa cushion under her body trying to make it into a shape most comfortable to her. After that, she stretched her body again and lay down listlessly.

“Do you still want to go outside?” Hao Ren looked at the cat maiden with a funny look.

Rollie’s furry tail wagged in the air. “Not these two days.”

Hao Ren was speechless.

Lily went into playful mode again after dinner, just like every dog ​​who returned had to check its territory markings. She went upstairs and came back down again like a gust of wind. After visiting every corner of the house, Lily quieted down. She took out her laptop from her room and began to type on the keyboard.

“You still write, eh?” Hao Ren said after taking a glance.

Lily had been following everyone around and looking like an unemployed. Hao Ren had almost forgotten that the maiden was a writer albeit an unknown one. So Hao Ren was always curious when he saw Lily writing with her notebook.

It was a mystery how the maiden could still write as usual while all this while running around like everyone else. But, hey, she still managed to generate some income out of her writings.

“Of course I do, I write for a living. How am I going to pay for the rent if I don’t?” Lily replied without even looking up.

Lily’s words had put everyone in an embarrassing situation as those guys had never paid a single cents of rent while Lily had been doing it faithfully every month.

But did Lily know that she was the only one in the family paying up?

Hao Ren poked his head to take a gander of Lily’s work and was surprised to see the title.

“What’s the story about?” Hao Ren’s eyebrows arched.

“I’ve been writing this book for a year,” Lily said while her fingers still hit the keyboard at 120 words per minute. “I don’t just write reviews on dog food. I’m better at novels.”

“I’m asking about that. Is this a documentary literature?”

It transpired that Lily had started writing the book since a year ago while following Hao Ren around. What surprised Hao Ren was that Lily was the protagonist in the novel, and Lockmarton was killed by her Doggoblast!

Lily looked up at Hao Ren, face serious. “Mr. Landlord, I haven’t updated the novel for nearly two months. Can you please not disturb me?”

Hao Ren suddenly felt it less guilty to receiving rental payment from Lily

Of all the tenants, the husky was the only one getting rich from her adventures with the landlord. This dog was not dumb at all!
