Chapter 94 Back to Normal
Hao Ren had imagined what would happen after Lily transformed. He had even envisioned the process as something out of a Hollywood blockbuster—he imagined what to do if Lily lost control after transforming, how Vivian would deal with the rampaging Lily, whether Izaaks would revert to his original form to fight the ferocious beast, and even imagined himself calmly directing the situation from behind, turning the tide. In short, he felt that the night Lily transformed would definitely be a sleepless night of blood and carnage, after all, a werewolf was about to evolve, and there were few professionals around who really knew how to suppress her. "Losing control" seemed inevitable.
But now, looking at the situation, it was indeed a sleepless night, but it lacked the blood and carnage. Lily was now busy frolicking and digging holes everywhere. Except for her size, she radiated harmlessness from head to tail. All the measures he had imagined earlier were useless...
To be honest, watching a seven or eight-meter-long husky running around having fun wasn't very interesting, but even Vivian didn't dare to step forward and stop that idiot, because it was a bit dangerous: Lily was now a heavy tank. Even if she was a husky, she couldn't hide her combat power at this moment. Perhaps the power of the "werewolf" had truly awakened. When she ran, she was always surrounded by a cyan whirlwind. The wind pressure was like cutting tofu, and when Lily was running at full speed, this cyan whirlwind would even shroud her entire body in a hazy wind wall, its power was evident. Hao Ren watched as Lily ran towards a small mound, and then that place was left with only a trench—no one would doubt the combat power of the werewolf girl in this form, her charge at this time was deadly.
Lily did remain conscious as Raven 12345 had said, but at the same time, her spirit was obviously quite亢奋(kangfen - excited). The werewolf girl (let's use this term for now) had to squander her excess energy, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to return to her normal form. The specific principle behind this was unknown, probably related to the full moon... uh, and the power of spicy strips. In short, it was for this reason that Hao Ren and the other two tenants had to stand here bored, watching a husky roll around and act cute. Well, in Hao Ren's eyes, that's what it was.
"When will she calm down?" Vivian yawned. She was a nocturnal creature, but she hadn't had enough rest these past two days preparing various things for Lily's evolution, so she was a little sleepy at this time.
"I just checked the habits of huskies," Hao Ren said with a sad face, taking out the data terminal. The holographic projection showed the information he had just found. "Huskies are naturally lively and active, full of energy, and have a strong curiosity. They usually don't listen to the orders of their owners or anyone else after they start playing. A healthy adult husky can play continuously for three or four hours or even longer—the internet doesn't say how to calculate when a husky becomes a精(jing - spirit), but I just recalled Lily's usual energy and felt that she was completely consistent with what the internet said."
Vivian squatted on the ground dejectedly, rummaging through her luggage: "Why didn't I think of it before... Seeing her unreliable personality, I should have guessed that this guy had a problem. Look, I even prepared so much incense for her, and now it's useless."
Hao Ren was bored waiting for Lily to get tired and transform back, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait! Maybe it's useful!"
"This?" Vivian weighed a few pieces of incense that emitted a strong smell. "This is prepared for werewolves. Husky spirits won't be affected by this."
"How do you know if you don't try!" Hao Ren reached out and grabbed a few "medicine cakes". "We have to calm Lily down as soon as possible. Her movements are too loud. Even if this place is remote, it's hard to guarantee that no one will be attracted. By the way, how do you use this thing?"
"Treat a dead horse as if it were still alive?" Vivian twitched the corners of her mouth. "It's simple, just heat it. Use charcoal to bake it underneath, and the incense will slowly burn. But we have to get the big dog to honestly squat in one place first. After all, the range of the incense is limited."
"Isn't that easy?" Hao Ren looked up at Lily. "She's just having fun, it's not like she doesn't understand human language. It should be possible to make her quiet for a few minutes—who of you two will go and make her quiet?"
Izaaks and Vivian looked at each other, and finally the great demon sighed: "I'll go, I have thick skin."
Izaaks ran to communicate with Lily, while Hao Ren immediately began to set up the "ritual site" with Vivian. They placed the prepared metal boxes in a large open space and used charcoal to ignite the strong-smelling herbal cakes. After a while, the area was filled with a drowsy smell: Vivian's special incense was indeed famous, and igniting it in this open environment had such a big effect. Hao Ren felt that even his enhanced superhuman body couldn't resist the sleepiness.
Hopefully, Lily, the husky spirit, doesn't have too much drug resistance. If she continues to play according to the husky's standard playtime, it will be almost dawn...
The communication on Izaaks' side was quite smooth. The great demon wasn't really scratched by Lily: although the werewolf girl was excited, her sanity was fine, she could still recognize her own people. When she saw acquaintances approaching, she would naturally quiet down.
It's just that this quietness couldn't last long. Lily's spirit couldn't be stabilized at all. She could basically only maintain a concentrated state for about a minute. That was the reason why she ran around playing after Vivian said a few words to her just now.
Izaaks took advantage of Lily's one-minute concentration to quickly guide her into the range of the incense, and then Hao Ren, Vivian, and Izaaks worked together to get Lily to squat in the very center of all the incense.
This unprecedentedly huge husky finally quieted down. She squatted in standard posture a dozen meters away from Hao Ren, twisting her head curiously and observing everything around her from a new height. Her tail also swayed lightly, stirring up the incense's fragrance completely. Probably because she had played too wildly just now, Lily was also slightly燥热(zaore - restless), and she was panting hard with her tongue out—this scene was a good sign, she had almost inhaled all the incense around her. Hao Ren took two steps forward and even had a feeling of hypoxia... this big dog has high lung capacity.
Vivian watched Lily's situation nervously. Soon she discovered that the giant husky was dozing off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the beastly pressure in the surrounding air was also dissipating little by little: the incense was actually effective!
"This is something specially prepared for werewolves..." Vivian herself felt very surprised. "It's actually useful for husky spirits?"
Hao Ren shrugged: "After all, they're close relatives."
"...Werewolves, wolves, huskies, husky spirits, these are basically four species, okay," Vivian said very rigorously. "Huskies and wolves may still have some blood relationship, but werewolves and husky spirits... how is this calculated!"
Yes, how is this calculated? Probably for a long time, this will be an unsolved mystery. The most important question now is—Lily has finally been knocked down by the incense.
The huge figure, two stories high, was熏(xun - smoked) in the smoke for several minutes, and finally couldn't resist the strong sleepiness. It swayed twice and then crashed down like a mountain, making a "rumbling" sound, and even the ground was shaking. Hao Ren saw Lily's huge figure begin to shrink rapidly in a cloud of dust. She was finally returning to human form.
But before he could see what was going on, Vivian slapped him aside, and Izaaks was also driven away. The vampire girl was as imposing as the hostess of the house: "You two go hide on the side, turn your backs to this side and don't peek! I'm sending little bats to supervise, those who peek won't get dinner tomorrow!"
Hao Ren vaguely guessed what was going on, and quickly pulled the bewildered Izaaks to a far enough place to find a place to squat down. The great demon squatted there and asked: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Don't look at what you shouldn't," Hao Ren said casually, but after thinking about the great demon's race and the other party's bizarre original form, he shook his head again. "It's hard to explain to you, the aesthetic gap is huge."
Izaaks: "?"
The two only squatted for a little while when they heard a bat flapping its wings from the side. Vivian returned, holding Lily, who was already wearing new clothes.
As expected, Lily was undergoing such a thorough transformation for the first time, and her relevant professional skills were not up to par. Her original clothes had been scrapped—fortunately, there was a careful and thoughtful vampire at home. Vivian even remembered to bring a change of clothes for Lily. Although the two usually had constant friction, it could be seen at the critical moment that Vivian was a good girl.
"Landlord, landlord!" Lily quickly regained her energy after leaving the range of the incense. She jumped from Vivian's arms to the ground happily, grabbed Hao Ren's arm and shook it hard. "How is it, how is it, am I amazing!"
Hao Ren suddenly realized a very, very卧槽(wocao - damn) problem at this moment:
Lily was too excited just now, and had been busy frolicking everywhere after transforming, and had no idea what she had turned into.
Now he, as Lily's temporary guardian, must find a way to explain everything to this unlucky girl...
"I would rather die with that crazy woman!!"
