Chapter 223 Daily Life

It seemed that the heteromorphs who came to Hao Ren's side had a strong ability to adapt. Back then, Becky had completely transformed into a local trendy girl in less than two months, and the Elizabeth in front of him had also mastered the surrounding streets in less than two months. The discarded electrical appliances and machinery she was fiddling with were all rummaged from nearby corners. Some were picked up from garbage heaps, and some were thrown away by the surrounding residents.

The oldest residential area was not short of these broken things. As long as you had the heart, you could basically encounter families throwing away unwanted old appliances every day, and then Elizabeth would instigate her father to go out to recycle old appliances – Izhaks finally found a job, but unfortunately, it didn't earn money...

The little girl was covered in black ash. She seemed very happy when she saw Hao Ren. She threw away the broken pipe and pounced on him: "Uncle Ren, are you saving the world again! I just heard Dog Sister bragging in the house..."

Hao Ren couldn't dodge in time and was caught by the little girl. His new clothes were immediately ruined. He looked at Elizabeth, who was covered in oil and black ash, with a wry smile. The gothic dress, which was originally very expensive, now looked like it had been blackened by soot: "Look at what you've done... Don't you know how troublesome it is to wash clothes?"

"There's a washing machine!" Elizabeth jumped on the spot, especially happy. "I can dismantle washing machines!"

Hao Ren: "What?!"

Elizabeth quickly changed her words: "Oh, I mean I can use the washing machine!"

Later, Hao Ren realized that Elizabeth's way of studying these novel household appliances on Earth was to first figure out how to dismantle them. After dismantling them, if she could still put them back together, then she would study how to use them. Therefore, the first step for the little girl to learn how to use electrical appliances was to start with how to dismantle them...

At this moment, the back door of the house was pushed open. It was Lily who ran out to check the situation after hearing the explosion. She greeted Hao Ren happily when she saw him: "Landlord, you're back? What are we having for dinner tonight? Are we going for a walk after dinner?"

Hao Ren covered his forehead and sighed, thinking that these guys all revealed their true colors as soon as they got home.

Well, in fact, these people didn't pretend to be too serious when they were outside.

Hao Ren dragged Elizabeth, who looked like a soot spirit, back to the living room, and handed the little girl to Nangong Wuyue: "Wash her up, her head is so black that you can't tell which side is which. Izhaks, why don't you educate your own daughter?"

Izhaks was sitting on the sofa reading the People's Daily, his temperament as if he had just been released from prison. Hearing this, he turned his head and showed a helpless smile: "Can you stop Dou Dou from chewing on other people's furniture when she goes out?"

Hao Ren was speechless: "..."

"A father is destined to be unable to deal with his daughter," the great demon spread his hands. "This is species suppression. And to be honest, my temper is still too good. You wouldn't dare to believe the methods other demons use to educate their children. After the full moon, they throw them directly into the lava lake. If they don't listen, they grab their legs and swing them against the wall. They can be educated to be obedient before the age of three – I can't bring myself to do it. Elizabeth is so weak. She'd complain it's too hot after soaking in lava for two hours..."

Izhaks' complaint about educating children became a torrent of nagging. Hao Ren listened with cold sweat dripping down his face. He was a little glad that Izhaks didn't have the heart to "discipline" Elizabeth back then... Was the demon's habit of educating children aimed at dealing with class enemies?

At this time, he saw Nangong Sanba sitting not far away, lost in thought, so he raised his hand and greeted him: "Heard everything?"

Nangong Sanba raised his head blankly, looking like he was still in the process of repairing his worldview with not many free threads in his brain. But he paused for a moment and finally reacted: "You're back... So what my sister said just now is all true?"

Hao Ren smiled and came to Nangong Sanba's side, preparing to sit down and talk in detail: "Of course it's all true."

"You really gave birth to that mermaid with a pot, and a husky helped deliver it?"

Hao Ren's butt hadn't even touched the sofa yet when he was shocked and trembled, and he slid to the ground. When he got up, he began to search the living room with angry eyes for the figure of that mantis shrimp spirit. How could Wuyue give him a chance? Carrying Elizabeth, she rushed to the bathroom like a gust of wind: "I'll take the little girl to take a bath first!"

Hao Ren stared at Nangong Sanba and spat out the words one by one: "That-part-is-fake!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Dou Dou had already hopped onto the coffee table. As usual, the little mermaid's first thing to do after returning home was to run over and hug her pot mother: "Mom! I'm back!"

Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren with the kind of eyes that... well, everyone can imagine it for themselves, in the most vicious direction.

"Damn... let's talk about this part later," Hao Ren pressed hard on Nangong Sanba's shoulder. "If you ask about this issue now, I'll take out the brainwashing lamp and press it in front of your eyes a few times, until you forget your own last name."

Nangong Sanba quickly shrank his shoulders: "I just want to adjust the atmosphere, after all, my brain is a little messed up. My sister has already told me everything. According to her... are there really gods in this world? Not the ancient gods who were hyped up by legends, but the real kind? Are you a civil servant who signed a contract with the God Realm?"

Hao Ren crossed his arms with a righteous face: "I've said it before, I'm a clergy member – although I haven't been burned at the stake, I'm even a Holy Son and a Prophet at the same time, at least within a radius of one million light-years of Earth. I checked, so far I'm the only inspector in this range..."

Nangong Sanba was stunned, obviously still not daring to believe this fact – not that he didn't believe in gods, after all, demon hunters were in contact with mysterious things all day long. For this profession, even if a creator of the universe really descended from the sky, it wouldn't be a big deal. What he really couldn't believe was that Hao Ren was actually on the 'God's side'. And more importantly: he felt that the style of Hao Ren and his gang was different from the divine envoys he imagined!

Nangong Sanba couldn't help but throw out a bellyful of questions. Hao Ren just smiled: "It's okay, I've made an appointment for you. I can take you to see that goddess the day after tomorrow afternoon. I also have a lot of things to report. Anyway, when you meet... I won't have to be responsible for fooling you."

Nangong Sanba: "..."

At this time, the bathroom door opened, and Elizabeth, who had been washed clean, ran happily into the living room, circling around Izhaks, trying to attract attention. The latter smiled and took out a black book from his body: "Here, *The Prince*, go back to your room and read."

The excitement on Elizabeth's face hadn't faded yet and she was about to cry. Izhaks said with a stern face: "You've been playing all day, go study!"

Seeing this situation, Hao Ren quickly stepped forward and grabbed the book from Izhaks' hand: "Can you choose something suitable for educating children? She's still a minor, why are you letting her read such heavy things?"

Elizabeth immediately became happy and tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve: "Uncle Ren is the best."

Hao Ren nodded with satisfaction and took out a thin book from his dimensional pocket: "I've prepared something suitable for children to read – here's a set of elementary school math olympiad..."

Elizabeth wailed and cried, grabbing *The Prince* from her dear father's hand while crying: "I'm going to learn how to govern the country!"

After Elizabeth ran back to her room, Hao Ren looked down at the math olympiad booklet in his hand and smacked his lips: "I used this when I was in school. I haven't been willing to get it dirty all these years..."

Lily glanced at him: "Yeah, it's like new. How can you be embarrassed to say that you love books?"

Hao Ren gave a dry laugh and didn't speak. On the other side, Vivian saw Nangong Wuyue sitting on the sofa in a daze and leaned over.

"It's okay, we'll find them." Vivian patted Wuyue's arm. She was a gentle and敏锐 (mǐnruì - perceptive) girl, and she could naturally see that the Nangong siblings were a little worried, but they didn't show it.

Their worry was about news of their parents.

Originally, everyone thought that the Wrathful Spirits in the Andre Fortress could bring information in this regard. Vivian had even formulated a whole set of plans to "interrogate" information from the Wrathful Spirits, but no one thought that after the truth of the Wrathful Spirits was revealed, all of this became a bubble.

The Wrathful Spirits were not evil spirits or vengeful spirits at all, and there was no possibility of communication. They were just a mixture of electromagnetic waves and energy fields, interspersed with a large number of fragmented memories that were almost impossible to read and restore. Even if they tracked down the old home of the Wrathful Spirits, everyone only found a desolate lost planet – and there was no siren energy reaction on that planet at all.

If the Nangong siblings' parents were really missing back then, then it seemed that they must have been teleported by the spatial anomalies caused by the Wrathful Spirits to a completely random place. Considering the illogical nature of the Wrathful Spirits, I'm afraid any clues would be useless.

Therefore, the Nangong siblings could be said to be greatly disappointed this time.
