“I blew someone down from the sky!”

Lili's loud voice came from outside the door, interrupting Hao Ren and Izhaks' conversation. The two looked at each other, and the great demon scratched his head. "What's wrong with her this time?"

"Heaven knows… You wait here, I'll go take a look." Hao Ren said and hurried out.

As soon as he got out, he saw everyone in the house gathered around, pointing and whispering about something. Lili was the most conspicuous in the crowd, gesturing and describing what she had just seen. Hearing Hao Ren's voice, she immediately turned around and pounced on him. "Landlord, landlord! I blew someone down!"

Hao Ren quickly pushed Lili back, peering over her shoulder while asking, "Behave yourself, behave yourself – what happened?"

Lili stepped aside and pointed to the ground. "She's lying over there. I don't know if she's dead."

Hao Ren poked his head out and was immediately startled. Sure enough, there was a humanoid object lying face down on the open space not far away, its life or death unknown. The humanoid object was wearing a black cloak of indiscernible style. Judging by the length of the hair and the figure, it seemed to be a woman. This firecracker victim who had fallen from the sky was lying face down, with a circle of cracks spreading out from where her face made contact with the ground... she had landed face-first.

Hao Ren felt a chill. He had already guessed that this was definitely not a human being. Either his anomaly-attracting aura was at work, or Raven 12345 was sending people to him without saying hello – could a normal person land face-first and still be in one piece?

He stepped forward to check on her condition, asking the husky, "What happened? How did you blow her down with a cannon?"

"It was just a two-kick firecracker," Lili gestured, firmly believing that she had blown someone down from the sky with a single shot. "I just set off a super-sized two-kick firecracker, and then I heard a flapping sound in the sky, and she fell right at my feet. She seemed to twitch when she first fell, but then she stopped moving."

Hao Ren thought that with this husky around, there would never be a dull day. At the same time, he squatted down next to the air crash victim. He carefully patted her shoulder and, finding no response, reached out and turned her over.

Vivian and the bearded man next to her immediately exclaimed.

This was indeed a woman, and a rather young one at that. But her appearance was extraordinary. She had a tan complexion and delicate features that could be described as beautiful. Even though she was unconscious, her face still had a faint, bewitching charm, especially her pale purple lips, which had a magical quality that made it difficult to look away. Fortunately, Hao Ren had trained his composure in front of Vivian and Raven 12345, so he wasn't so easily swayed by a pretty girl.

The most unusual thing about this mysterious woman was her forehead: there was a pair of bizarre horns!

In fact, the cracks on the ground had been made by these horns. When Hao Ren had turned her over just now, he hadn't been able to do it in one go because the horns were stuck in the cement. Hao Ren had never read about this detail in the novels he usually read.

This horned woman was wearing armor of unknown material that looked quite tattered. It seemed to be a kind of close-fitting soft armor, but its luster and texture did not seem like normal matter. When Hao Ren saw the horns on her head, he subconsciously looked down at her legs. As expected, there was a strange reverse joint structure at the ankle. But these strange limbs did not seem scary; on the contrary, they had a strange sense of harmony: it seemed that she was supposed to look like this.

"A demon," Vivian looked her up and down and recognized the race. "But she doesn't look like any demon I know… not this pretty, anyway."

At this time, Izhaks also came out of the house to see what was going on, and asked as he approached, "What's going on… Lanina?!"

"You know her?" Vivian looked at Izhaks in surprise. Hao Ren's heart suddenly skipped a beat – he felt that he really wouldn't have a few days of peace.

"She used to be one of my subordinates," Izhaks' surprise was even greater than Vivian's. He squatted down and looked at the unconscious female demon, his face full of disbelief. "But how is she still alive… and how did she get here?!"

Hao Ren was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a small note pinned to the female demon's clothes with a safety pin. He pulled it off and saw that it was written in an irritating scrawl: "This idiot got so lost that even I couldn't stand it anymore. If I don't take care of her, she'll probably die halfway. Special delivery – from the Goddess."

At this time, Lili still thought it was her fault. Hearing Izhaks' words, she subconsciously wrung her fingers. "She's a friend of the big guy? Then… I blew her down with a cannon."

"Don't force yourself to take the blame," Hao Ren sighed and held up the note. "Raven 12345 dropped her off. Here's the delivery slip."

Hearing that Raven 12345 was involved, everyone immediately felt that everything made sense, and even the shock on Izhaks' face eased slightly.

"Never mind how she got here, let's carry her inside," Vivian looked at Izhaks and Hao Ren, realizing that there was probably more to this story, but she didn't ask. "Big Dog, give me a hand."

The female demon named Lanina was soon carried into the living room. Vivian temporarily settled her on the sofa and got an ice towel to cool her down, but she held the towel for a long time, not knowing how to start: the horns were too much in the way.

In the end, Hao Ren had a clever idea and simply wrapped the towel around Lanina's horns in a horizontal figure-eight to hold it in place. Vivian watched from the side, stunned. "Will that work?"

"Theoretically, giving a demon a compress on the head won't do anything, no matter what you use," Hao Ren looked at the towel wrapped around the female demon's horns, feeling that with this thing on, her eerie charm had diminished. "We're just doing our best – Raven really doesn't think things through, just dropping her off like that."

At this time, Izhaks came to the sofa and bent down to check on the female demon's condition. The moment he got close, the female demon seemed to sense something. Her eyelids twitched rapidly, and she suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of dark red, bizarre vertical pupils.

She hadn't fully understood the situation around her. Opening her eyes, she found herself in a bright and warm place, surrounded by many strangers. Her first reaction was to jump off the sofa with incredible agility and stand several meters away, looking warily at the "humans" in front of her. "Who are you?!"

It was standard demon language, difficult to understand. Hao Ren also replied in demon language, "Calm down, we mean no harm…"

"You speak demon language?" The female demon didn't know when she had conjured two slightly curved, thin swords in her hands. She looked at Hao Ren with a guarded expression. "Which demon's servant are you? Or a follower of a demon cult? What do you want to do to me…"

At this time, Izhaks finally spoke. "Lanina, put your weapons away."

The female demon's expression froze. She stared blankly at Izhaks, seeming to find his tone and aura familiar, but she looked at Izhaks' current human form for a long time without daring to recognize him. "Who are you?"

"You don't even recognize me?" Izhaks looked at the female demon with his arms crossed, displaying a powerful demeanor. "Haven't you seen my human form before?"

"…Lord?" The female demon finally frowned, looking at the burly giant in disbelief, but soon shook her head slightly. "No, although you look eighty percent like him, you should be uglier."

Hao Ren immediately looked at Izhaks with a sweaty expression. "Were you even more hideous when you transformed back then?"

"I wasn't skilled enough back then," Izhaks was also embarrassed and turned his face away awkwardly. Then the muscles on his face twisted for a while, becoming even more muscular and ferocious than before, his whole face looking as if it had gone through several years of natural disasters. Then he turned his head to look at Lanina. "…Is that right now?"

The female demon was struck by lightning, stunned in place. After a long while, she muttered, "Lord… is it really you?! You're really still alive?! I… I didn't come to the wrong place!?"

The scene was supposed to be quite touching, but Hao Ren couldn't help but look at the note in his hand, thinking that this one probably really hadn't come to the right place before…
