Unexpectedly, Nangong Sanba had experienced so many bizarre things in the past few days—it was fortunate that this guy was lucky enough to pick a fight with the Nu Ling (Wrathful Spirit) after Hao Ren and the others returned from another world. Otherwise, if he had been injured two days earlier, even his most powerful secret techniques wouldn't have allowed him to teleport and save his life: Nangong Wuyue was still in the other world at that time, and Nangong Sanba's secret techniques required the bloodline of his relatives to determine the coordinates.

Never mind the principles behind it: how many of the witch hunter's innate abilities could be clearly explained?

Hearing about her brother's experience, Wuyue hurriedly asked, "Is that Nu Ling still there? When did you fight it?"

Nangong Sanba took a breath. "I fought it last night. After the fight, I was injured and fled into the wasteland. I endured it for a night before preparing all the formations needed for the secret technique, and then ran over here to find you. That Nu Ling shouldn't have left. I don't know why, but it seems to be trapped in that place."

Nangong Wuyue stood up abruptly. "I'm going!"

Then she looked down at Hao Ren, her face a little embarrassed. "Um... Landlord..."

Hao Ren chuckled. Seeing this usually carefree siren girl showing such restraint was quite amusing, but he didn't deliberately tease her. "I know—that's what guardians do. I'll go with you."

Nangong Wuyue nodded gratefully, while Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression. "Well... this is very dangerous. It's a family matter between me and Wuyue. There's no need to involve you."

Hao Ren rolled his eyes. "Too bad, this is also my job."

Nu Lings were also one of the heterogenous creatures on Earth, and among all the various types, they were second only to the sirens in terms of mystery. And like the sirens, Hao Ren hadn't found a race corresponding to the Nu Lings in the Dream Plane, so from the beginning, he had planned to find a sample to study and find out what exactly a Nu Ling was—unfortunately, he hadn't encountered one all this time. These things were as elusive as Raven 12345's morals; how could you just pick one up?

Now that there was a ready-made sample delivered to his door, how could Hao Ren give up the opportunity? Leaving aside the relationship with the Nangong siblings, even without that, he would still have gone over to join in the fun: if he did this well, maybe he could even trick Raven 12345 out of two months' worth of bonuses or half a crate of golden apples...

Nangong Sanba didn't know the ins and outs of Hao Ren's thinking. He only felt that this strange landlord, who ran a shelter for heterogenous creatures, was unexpectedly righteous, even to the point of being unscientific. Of course, he was very curious about the reason for this.

So he looked at Nangong Wuyue with a strange look, his eyes jumping back and forth between Hao Ren and the mantis shrimp spirit. Clearly, he thought that if a man could be so righteous for him, then either his sexual orientation was questionable, or he had something going on with his sister...

The siren girl slapped her brother behind the sofa with her tail. The latter covered his face and muttered, "I haven't said anything yet!"

"It'll be more than just a tail if you say it!" Wuyue swung her tail with a swishing sound. "You want to experience the childhood merry-go-round again, right? Believe it or not, if you keep joking around like that, I can make you spin at the highest speed?"

Nangong Sanba quickly begged for mercy, while Hao Ren, lying on the ground for no reason, felt a little helpless, and was also very hurt. "Am I that bad?"

The siren girl's face suddenly looked a little strange. "That's not it... hey! You're all getting off-topic! We're talking about serious things here, okay?"

"Anyway, there shouldn't be anything going on recently," Vivian clapped her hands, squeezing Hao Ren, who could only bicker and make trouble at this critical moment, to the side. "The goddess doesn't have any new missions, the Dream Plane isn't in a hurry to explore, and Old Wang's funeral has been taken care of—we can do something for ourselves. Besides, Nu Lings are a very strange species. I've dealt with them a few times before... I'd like to study them if I get the chance. Sanba, please lead the way."

"You're all going?" Nangong Sanba looked at everyone in a daze.

Hao Ren was counting on his fingers beside him. "I'm going, Vivian has experience so she's definitely going, count you siblings, oh and this... Lily, stop shaking! I know you're definitely going, okay!"

The husky girl grabbed Hao Ren's arm and shook it vigorously, with such force that it seemed she would tear off an arm if he didn't agree. Her tail was swishing so hard that it could almost create flowers: she couldn't stay still for more than a few days at home.

And as soon as Hao Ren nodded in agreement, Lily quickly pounced on him, planning to lick his head. This action startled the latter, but fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—as soon as Lily opened her mouth and leaned in, a small bat smeared her face. Vivian grabbed Lily's tail and pulled her back. "Show some restraint! Even if everyone in the world knows you're a husky, don't forget that you're a human now, okay!"

"I won't be joining in on the fun this time," Izhaks said slowly, as usual, waiting for everyone else to finish making a fuss before speaking in a steady, big-brotherly manner. He patted Elizabeth's small head, his face full of doting. "I want to stay home and spend time with the child."

Elizabeth immediately jumped up. "But I want to go with Uncle Ren..."

"You haven't done your homework in almost a week!" Izhaks glared. "You're a candidate demon queen! You said you'd be obedient when you came to Earth. If you act up again now, I'll send you back to have those uncles and aunts educate you!"

Elizabeth pouted, first brewing up some emotions, then looking at Hao Ren with a sob. "Uncle Ren, if I cry, will you help me?"

Hao Ren shrugged. Elizabeth then looked at Vivian. "Sister Vivian, will you help me..."

Vivian rolled her eyes. "Your dad's right this time."

Elizabeth sighed. "Then I won't cry. You're all not being nice."

Becky looked at Nangong Sanba, then at Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue, and suddenly raised her hand hesitantly. "Well... although I don't quite understand what you're talking about, it sounds like you're going on an adventure?"

"This has nothing to do with adventure," Hao Ren waved his hand. "We're going to take care of something... local defense-related matters."

"Then can I come along?" Becky's face showed an eager expression, and then she made a gesture of drawing a sword from her waist, waving her right hand a few times in the air. "Hey—my hands are getting rusty!"

Hao Ren frowned. "What are you going to do? There's no money to be made."

In Hao Ren's mind, Becky's only motivation for going out and doing things was to earn money. Now that this mercenary, who loved money like her life, was taking the initiative to volunteer, it felt like the world line had collapsed.

Becky scratched her head with a silly smile. "I'm just itching to do something. I'm a mercenary, and I'm really bored at home. It's quiet here... but if I stay quiet any longer, mushrooms will grow on me!"

Hao Ren then understood that Becky's mercenary blood was slowly fermenting in her bones. After spending so long at home without being able to casually cut people, the girl probably felt like she was rusting, so he had to nod in agreement. Nangong Sanba looked at these people one by one casually deciding to form a group to hunt Nu Lings, feeling like he was looking at monsters. "Do you think this is a game?! I've fought that Nu Ling before. It's a powerful type. Even experienced witch hunters can't necessarily deal with it—why are you giving up peaceful days to wade into this mess?"

Hao Ren sighed in his heart: Peaceful days my ass; based on what he's experienced recently, going to Siberia to hunt a wave of Nu Lings counts as a vacation...

The next day, a group of people had already arrived in the desolate frozen tundra of Siberia.

Originally, Hao Ren wanted to take this opportunity to trick Raven 12345 into giving him a public-funded trip again, reimbursing a few plane tickets and giving everyone hundreds of thousands of activity funds, but before he could put it into practice, the data terminal talked him out of it. With a global teleporter and the organization already providing transportation, it was really unreasonable to scam funding like this, and it would be easy for the goddess to tie him to the South Heaven Gate and strike him with lightning for a whole day, so Hao Ren could only give up in the end.

They used the data terminal's teleportation function to cross the border directly into Siberia. Although the activity funds were gone, it was honestly faster than civilian aviation...

After the light of teleportation gradually dimmed and everyone recovered from the brief, intense dizziness, Nangong Sanba stared at Hao Ren. "You guys have a lot of trump cards, don't you?"

Hao Ren tossed the data terminal up and down, thinking that this thing wasn't even close to being a trump card; it couldn't even flatten a letter...

Wuyue nudged Nangong Sanba. "Brother, don't ask about some things."

"It's okay, you can tell him when your brother decides to join the team," Hao Ren smiled slightly, and tightened his coat (he wore this outfit mainly to avoid looking too out of place in this area. You can't keep running around in short sleeves and a shirt when it's minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius), "Now let's go find out where that Nu Ling is."
