Actually, from a very early time, Hao Ren vaguely felt that the vampire girl beside him had many secrets. This was not only because of his always-accurate intuition, but also because of many traceable phenomena that made him have to care.

Frequent sleep and memory loss, habits that were completely different from normal blood clans, a series of abilities that only she could master, and the strange "constitution" from which even a small bat falling from her body could cultivate into a spirit—if this could be explained as a constitution. All of these were enough to make Vivian a remarkable and special individual, and what was even more concerning was the sculpture discovered in the Olympus ruins and the recent "evil spirit" incident. With so many things happening, who wouldn't overthink?

But Vivian had lived like this for more than ten thousand years, and it seemed that nothing unexpected had happened.

After leaving Raven 12345, Hao Ren didn't feel much relief. The massive amount of information about Vivian that the other party mentioned was very concerning. He couldn't help but think of the "entangled karma" mentioned in stories, and in most stories, entangled karma didn't seem to be a good thing.

The "karma" entangled around Vivian currently seemed to be pointing to the Dream Plane. Perhaps after the secrets of the Dream Plane were revealed, all the problems would become clear.

"This unit suggests you don't dwell on it for too long," the data terminal's voice startled Hao Ren from his contemplation. "If you go back looking like this, it'll definitely make people suspicious. And entangled karma... it sounds intimidating, but it's really nothing. It's just that you'll get tangled up with some troublesome things. As long as you have enough ability to solve the troubles, entangled karma is usually not fatal. Don't you have that confidence?"

Hao Ren raised his head and saw that the entrance to his home was not far ahead. He patted his face and simply threw aside the things that couldn't be solved for the time being: "Whatever, even if it's a huge problem, it's meant to be solved!"

The data terminal's grumbling voice sounded in his mind: "That's right."

Pushing the door open, the cool breeze that greeted him dispelled the heat and frustration that had accumulated along the way. Hao Ren took a deep breath and felt that his home was as pleasant as being in front of a waterfall. He sat down contentedly on the sofa in the living room, squinting his eyes and sighing: "Comfortable..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sharp "Meow" next to his ear, followed by a flash of cold light, and then a solid scratch on his face. He scrambled to dodge to the side and saw "Roll" squatting on the armrest of the sofa with an angry expression, its tail resting on the spot where he had just been sitting—it turned out he had stepped on its tail.

Hao Ren quickly apologized: "Uh, sorry I didn't see you... How many times have I told you! Don't squat on the armrest! Do you know how heavy you are now?!"

"Roll" bared its teeth at Hao Ren and continued to fiddle with the remote control, as if it hadn't heard anything.

The data terminal's cheeky voice came from the side: "So you've been reduced to the point where you have to apologize to your own pet, huh? And she's not even paying attention to you."

"Shut up."

But he should also thank this naughty, foolish cat for interrupting, Hao Ren had completely adjusted from the previous anxiety and pressure, and didn't have to worry about being seen by his family. He shook his head and sighed, went forward and pulled "Roll's" tail to the side, then sat in his usual, most comfortable position, and turned to discuss with his cat: "Well, can I watch some TV?"

The foolish cat simply stuffed the TV remote into its clothes: "No meow."

Hao Ren covered his face in grief: This was not just reduced to apologizing to his pet, but even watching TV had to be negotiated with his pet. At this moment, he really missed the time when Roll hadn't become a spirit. Back then, this cat was much easier to deal with. If it didn't open its eyes and came to make trouble, he would just grab it by the neck and throw it out...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn to look at the cat girl beside him, as if looking for the angle and position needed to throw her out. But he quickly sighed: Times have changed, there's no way to do it now. If he slapped her, it's estimated that animal protection organizations, women's rights organizations, and human rights organizations would launch a joint attack...

"Roll" felt a chill rising inexplicably behind its neck. It shivered and turned to look at Hao Ren with a puzzled expression, its cat eyes reflecting its owner's lazy appearance: "Big Big Cat, were you in a bad mood just now? Are you better now?"

Could it be called animal intuition? This cat demon, who had not completely broken away from its instincts, could actually feel the subtle changes in Hao Ren's mood. Hao Ren realized that this silly thing actually knew how to care about him, and couldn't help but reveal a smile, reaching out and rubbing its ears: "It's okay."

"Oh, so are we eating small dried fish today?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Every time his impression of this foolish cat improved, it would stop at the moment when the other party's naughtiness didn't change and it mentioned small dried fish.

At this time, Vivian came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands. She had just sensed Hao Ren's movement in the house, and now greeted him happily: "You're back? I thought the goddess was providing food again today—wait a bit for dinner, I went out with Big Dog to buy groceries today, so dinner is late."

Seeing Vivian, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of what Raven 12345 had told him. He subconsciously looked at the vampire girl a few more times, as if trying to "see" what kind of information she was carrying, but of course it was meaningless.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there oil on my face again?" Vivian was a little confused by the look and rubbed her face with the back of her hand. "There isn't..."

Hao Ren quickly retracted his thoughts and casually changed the subject: "Oh, it's nothing, I just feel that you look good in this outfit."

Vivian was even more confused, looking down at herself: besides a set of old clothes, there was just a new apron, which she had sewn herself. So she naturally misunderstood: "Oh, so you like aprons..."

Hao Ren didn't know what this girl was thinking. He looked at Vivian and found that she was currently maintaining her human form, and there was no ice or cold wind around her. He was a little surprised to see this: "Huh? Aren't you responsible for the cold wind today?"

Vivian pointed towards the stairs: "Those two mothers are responsible. They said they wanted everyone to experience the Arctic Ocean breeze mode today."

Hao Ren hadn't paid attention to other places in the living room just now. When he looked up at this time, he was startled: he saw two huge snake tails hanging on the stairs leading to the second floor. Following the tails, he saw that Nangong Wuyue and Aier Sha were lying side by side. These two sirens had actually spread themselves from the first floor to the second floor, and the entire staircase was so crowded that he couldn't see the steps. And the humid, cool breeze that permeated the entire mansion was actually emanating from them—no wonder it was different from the dry, cold air Vivian usually created.

"The house is like a zoo all day long," looking at this bizarre scene, movies of various gods and monsters began to scroll in Hao Ren's mind, "If a stranger came, they'd probably be scared out of their minds... By the way, even if you two are cooling down, there's no need to lie on the stairs, right?"

The tip of Nangong Wuyue's tail on the first floor wagged, and the latter's voice came from the second floor: "Maintenance, maintenance, finding a suitable slope to stretch the tail can cure insomnia. My mom just taught me, she said it's called gravity therapy."

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking that he'd better not delve into the living habits of monster girls, but he still asked casually: "You're blocking the way, how do other people go up and down the stairs?"

Nangong Wuyue continued to wag her tail: "Landlord, why don't you try it? I can roll you up, it's definitely more stable than an elevator."

Hao Ren: "...What about going downstairs?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Elizabeth jumping and skipping appear at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. The little girl greeted the two sea snake spirits and sat directly on Aier Sha's tail, sliding down like a slide, shouting happily all the way down. Hao Ren was immediately impressed by the unconventional and creative thinking of his group of abnormal creatures. He thought that one day, his house's stairs might become spirits like this...

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Elizabeth happily asking Nangong Wuyue to roll her up to the second floor again, and sliding down again, shouting loudly. He could only correct himself in his heart: it might be a slide that became a spirit.

In this way, no matter how many troubles awaited the outside world, the Hao Family Mansion welcomed a peaceful day as always.

At least for now.
