Hessiana and her sidekicks could never imagine that they would set off from Earth to Inferno by teleporting and then return in a spaceship . Life is indeed like a box of chocolates; you never know what you are going to get .
Later in the day, Hao Ren and his entourage arrived at their home in Southern Suburb .
Y'zaks was sunbathing with his daughter just outside the doorway when Hao Ren arrived with a handful of grocery, which was mainly Lily's favorite pork ribs . Y'lisabet ran up to Hao Ren and greeted him with a bright smile on her face . Hao Ren shoved the stuff in his hands to Lily and patted Y'lisabet on her head . Though the trip to Inferno was not as dangerous as the previous trips, he was mentally drained . The feeling quickly went away when he arrived home .
He knew why he had this feeling; a lot of things had happened during the trip, and most importantly, it concerned Vivian . Dealing with the demon-god Vivian was exhaustive . He would have suffered mental trauma if not for him having the nerves of steel .
Others felt the same . As soon as they reached home, Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue quickly breathed a sigh of relief . Even Vivian appeared to be more relaxed . The only oddball here was Lily, who did not display any emotional changes . As always, the husky ran to the door with bags of pork ribs in her hands cheerfully . Her happy-go-lucky attitude was almost at God's level .
Probably, Y'lisabet was the only person who could rival Lily's light-heartedness . The training her papa gave her had toughened her; blowing her up several hundred meters in the air was just a child's play, for which she would happily say, "Whoa, that's fun!"
Vivian smiled and whispered to herself, "Home sweet home . "
Hao Ren heard her whisper and smiled at her . "Yeah, we've been through many things . Let's take a rest . I will ask Raven about your problem later . "
Hessiana's brows knit together . She looked at Vivian and then Hao Ren, her face sad . "It's finished . Vivian has regarded this place as her home now! She's not going to care about me!"
Kassandra came up, let out a sigh and comforted her . "Master, take it easy! After all, Vivian has never cared about you . "
The rumor that people had wanted this vampire dead was probably true . She was a jerkette, who would probably die at the hand of Hessiana someday .
Everything was as usual in the house . With the Nangong couples taking care of the house, Hao Ren no longer had to worry about going to sleep in a pile of dust every time he returned from a business trip . The TV was on when he stepped into the house . There was a pair of pointed, white-haired cat ears sticking out above the sofa's back and a long tail hanging at the side when looking from behind .
"Rollie!" he called out the heartless cat . "Oh, come on! Don't glue to the idiot box all day long . We're back!"
Dumb Cat peeked from the sofa, stretched out her hand that was in the shape of a ball and wave at Hao Ren with a meow . She then pointed her tail to the cat-food commercial on the TV . "Big Boss Cat, I want this! Buy me!"
"What a heartless fella! Don't you know that I have just arrived home?" Hao Ren retorted .
"Meow . " The cat maiden shook her head as if she had figured something out . She jumped off the sofa without making a sound, sneaked over and rubbed her head against Hao Ren's leg . "You want to play with my tail? It is fun! You have five minutes . "
"Meow . " The cat maiden shook her head as if she had figured something out . She jumped off the sofa without making a sound, sneaked over and rubbed her head against Hao Ren's leg . "You want to play with my tail? It is fun! You have five minutes . "
Hao Ren did not know what more to say but groaned inwardly .
Y'zaks looked on, grinning . "She is not heartless; she is just getting along with you in her way . "
Hao Ren forced a smile, and petted and coaxed Rollie back to the sofa before going into the bathroom to look for Lil Pea . Soaking in the basin filled with water, Lil Pea seemed to have sensed the coming of Hao Ren . She got up eagerly and waited . As soon as Hao Ren appeared, the little mermaid spouted water all over his face . Hao Ren swept Lil Pea up in his hand and was slightly surprised by how much she weighed in his hand . "You have grown longer again, eh?"
"I have grown longer!" Lil Pea patted Hao Ren on his arm with her tail . "And shed scales too!"
"Shed scales?" Only then, Hao Ren noticed some small illuminants, which were the fine scales came off the mermaid's tail, in the basin . It was slighter lighter in tone on some parts of her tail . It looked like new scales . "When did it begin?"
Lil Pea counted with her fingers and then replied loudly, "Three days! Not including today . "
Hao Ren carried her to the living room and asked Nangong Wuyue, "She's shedding scales . You know that?"
"How on earth am I supposed to know?" Nangong Wuyue shot him a scornful look . "I was following you on all this while . Have you forgotten?"
"How on earth am I supposed to know?" Nangong Wuyue shot him a scornful look . "I was following you on all this while . Have you forgotten?"
Hao Ren had been confused . He smacked his forehead . At this time, Ayesha came out of the kitchen and heard their conversation . "It's normal to lose scale . She is growing up, and the pattern on the tail is changing . Probably scale shedding is common during the transition from childhood to adolescence . I have been keeping an eye on her; the little one is as fit as a fiddle, and her new scales are completely different from the original ones, which are of two different physiological stages . It's normal . "
Hearing a veteran deep-sea creature saying so, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief . He held Lil Pea up and examined her for a long while, discovering that she was as energetic as before and that the shedding parts had regrown . It was a normal physiological phenomenon, he thought .
Seeing Hao Ren's anxious look, Lily could not help but mutter, "Isn't it normal? I, too, shed my hair twice a year and you have never been worried . "
"Come on! I have seen Mr . Zhao's brown dog shedding hair for dozens of time since, but it's my first time seeing mermaid shedding scales . " Hao Ren shot Lily a sideways glance . "Mermaid is different from fish, but growing back scales is new to me . "
Squirming on the sofa with her arms crossed, Lily recollected . "I thought my hair was a lifelong thing too . It scared the wit out of me when I had my first shedding . I thought I was going to die, and wanting to stick the hair back with glue . Childhood is memorable . "
Hao Ren looked at her with a strange look . "Have you not seen dogs shedding their hair before? Or did you live in a place where dogs didn't exist?"
Still with her arms crossed, Lily said smugly, "I thought I was a werewolf at the time! And I thought after transcending; I wouldn't have to shed hair again . "
Everyone was speechless .
Hessiana sat down on the sofa cautiously and listened to the weirdoes in the family talking about the senseless things . It was an atmosphere that had never existed in the Athens' sanctuary . It lacked discipline, vigilance, stability, and controllability, but she felt an inexplicable feeling of longing for such feelings .

It lacked discipline, vigilance, stability, and controllability, but she felt an inexplicable feeling of longing for such feelings .
Vivian sat down beside her and asked casually, "You still have family business to attend to back home . So when are you going to leave?"
Hessiana was startled . She realized that she was not liked here, particularly by Vivian . She lowered her head slightly . "Yeah, I have to go . . . I will leave tomorrow . Can I stay for one more night?"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren and scratched her hair . "It's okay . I want to say that it's fine if you want to stay for a couple of days, but you have your family business needs you; after all, the Athens' sanctuary isn't that safe, and the demon hunters have been keeping an eye on you lot . You have to go back . "
Hessiana was stunned again . She could not believe her ears; Vivian invited her to stay! Even though this invitation was only as good as a cold shoulder, it was a pleasant surprise . She had never experienced it for the last thousands of years . "Ma'am Vivian, don't you find me annoying?"
"I do, if you cause trouble," Vivian said immediately . "But I've found that you are now more mature than and not as clingy as before . Mr . Landlord also wants me to care more about you . If you must thank, thank him . "
Hessiana's expression became weirder this time . She looked at Hao Ren . There was a complicated feeling in her that no one could understand . She sniffled and said in a wounded-pride tone of voice . "Thanks to you, pop . "
Hao Ren immediately hid under the coffee table with the fish in his arms .
