Chapter 108 A Day at the Zoo

Things had been peaceful for several days since returning to Earth, with no new messages from any of the parties involved. On one hand, Hao Ren was enjoying the tranquility of the recent days, while on the other hand, he was taking the time to continue researching the Radiant Church and the Returnee Sect, as well as the various knowledge of the Inspectors. When he had spare time, he devoted himself to teasing the cat, fish, and dog, and life was quite comfortable. He had now adapted to the life rhythm that an Inspector should have, which was to be as busy as a dog when things came up and as lazy as a cat when nothing was happening, in order to regulate his tense nerves—the good news was that he had both of these creatures around him and could observe and learn their habits at any time.

As in the past few days, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room through the window, Hao Ren was awakened on time by the scratching sound outside the door and a lot of miscellaneous noises. First, Lily went crazy after waking up and let out a "woof," followed by Vivian's bats flapping into the living room from various open windows—they brought back wild vegetables with dew and herbs that could be used for medicinal cuisine, which they had just picked in the morning. Then, the silly cat's melodious, dry howling came from the door: "Big cat! Big cat! Food! It's time to mix my food! Open the door, I know you're in there, why don't you open the door! Why have you been locking the door lately! Let me in to lick you, I want to come in to lick you, why are you locking the door, meow!"

This chaotic sound finally woke up Doudou, and then the small table in Hao Ren's room rattled: this was Doudou doing stretching exercises in the pot, and half of the water would be splashed out by her half-set of morning exercises.

Hao Ren listened to the cat meowing, dog barking, bats chattering, and the sound of the fish baby splashing in the water, and slowly put on his clothes. He felt like he was sleeping in a zoo every time he opened his eyes every day. If this continued, the animal channel could directly come to his home to film—as long as the director and the audience could accept it, the ecological environment of his home would be enough to shoot at least twenty episodes of animal documentaries!

After Doudou splashed enough in the water, she leaped towards Hao Ren. Hao Ren skillfully caught the little guy and then opened the door, and saw the silly cat squatting at the door, looking up at him with her big watery eyes: "Why did you lock the door, meow?"

"Just for this!" Hao Ren pointed to the floor in front of the door with blue veins popping out on his forehead. There was a layer of wood chips on it, and the good door was scratched by the silly cat like terraced fields with distinct layers. "When can you remember not to scratch me with your claws when you get up early, then I'll let you in the house!"

When Doudou saw the wood chips on the ground, she immediately jumped down happily and began to feast on them. The sound of "crunching" was like a rodent grinding its teeth, and the little guy quickly eliminated a pile of wood chips. This had been the case for the past few days: the silly cat got up early to scratch the door, and Doudou took the opportunity to eat breakfast and clean the floor, which saved the effort of feeding the fish once. But in all fairness, Hao Ren really didn't want to feed the fish in this way: his door was about to be scratched through!

But how could the silly cat's worldview understand this? She still said with good reason: "I used to wake you up like this, you've been acting really strange lately. So hurry up and give me dried fish."

Doudou looked up at "滚 (gun - get lost)" while holding two pieces of wood chips. The silly cat immediately twitched her ears and retreated half a meter: "Small biscuits are also okay..."

"That's all you're good for," Hao Ren picked up Doudou, who had finished eating the wood chips and started licking the floor, and then pointed at the cat girl's forehead, "I'll teach you one last time: do-not-scratch-the-door!! Doesn't your finger hurt?! Are you forcing me to install an anti-theft door in the inner room?"

The cat girl thought for a while and raised her paw: "Anti-theft doors can also be scratched, and it sounds very nice!"

Hao Ren's mind suddenly flashed the sound of the cat demon scratching the steel plate with her nails, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He despaired of finding that he couldn't deal with this cat at all—of course, the good news was that he couldn't deal with this guy before, and in a sense, the situation hadn't gotten worse.

Vivian was picking up a lot of wild vegetables and herbs in the living room, and several small bats were flying around her to help. Some were responsible for carrying away rotten vegetable leaves, some were responsible for picking out grass sticks, and some were responsible for biting off the roots of vegetables and throwing them away. They looked extremely efficient and interesting. Her current habit was to release a group of bats before going to bed at night, leaving only a little mental power to command them, and then the next day she could harvest enough wild vegetables for the whole family to eat: this girl who was used to living a hard life could always find ways to save Hao Ren money, although this kind of saving was not very necessary.

But no matter what, the dishes she made with wild vegetables were very popular at home, so Hao Ren let her go.

Lily was squatting on the sofa not far away, reading a book. She was in werewolf form again this morning. Hao Ren greeted her casually: "Lily, what are you reading?"

As a result, the girl didn't make a sound at all. Hao Ren curiously went over to take a look and found that two thin earphone wires were extending from her furry pointed ears—as for the earphones themselves, they had been completely stuffed into the two tufts of fluff and couldn't be seen.

At this time, Lily suddenly twitched her nose, apparently smelling Hao Ren's scent. She smiled and turned her head to say hello, while pulling out four earplugs from under her pointed ears and hair: "Landlord, you're awake?"

Hao Ren was stunned: "...Quadraphonic?!"

Lily was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant, and lifted her hair to show off triumphantly: "Super awesome stereo! Landlord, let me tell you, every note hits the brain—this earphone was made with Elizabeth's help, and the effect is great. Do you want to try it?"

Hao Ren shook his head and retreated with a cold sweat on his face: "I don't have this equipment... Don't you feel like the sound is too noisy after you turn into a werewolf?"

Lily put her hands on her hips: "I'm also curious if you don't have a tail to bite, will you be bored usually!"

The data terminal flew out of who knows what corner and curiously circled around Lily: "Tsk tsk, interesting, so the beast-eared girls here are quadraphonic—I heard that the beast-eared races in other worlds are all stereo, this is really a big world."

Hao Ren was stunned: "There are also beast-eared girls in other worlds?"

"Nonsense, they are a normal race with a template license in the God Realm, why can't they reproduce everywhere?" The data terminal was very disdainful of Hao Ren's superficial knowledge, "The canine animal protection god himself is still a stereo nine-tailed fox fairy."

"...What a mess of a priesthood is this Xiling God System!"

The data terminal slapped Hao Ren on the head: "Do you think you can get out of this? You're still a pope, how can you be so unconscious?"

After eating breakfast, Izhaks was preparing to take his daughter out for a walk as usual, and the others who had something to do—such as Lily and Nangong Wuyue—were also preparing to go out and work. Hao Ren saw that he had nothing to do, so he stood up and called the great demon: "Old Wang, wait a minute, I'll take a walk with you."

After he finished speaking, he handed Doudou to Nangong Sanba, who was burying his head in making Laita runes on the coffee table: "You continue to teach her the knowledge of demon hunters, don't let her eat too many books, eating too much ink will make her gain weight."

Nangong Sanba nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I've already sorted out the next tutorial, and the little guy can learn it without tools. But there's something I want to tell you..."

Hao Ren saw Nangong Sanba hesitating, and waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite with me? Just say it."

"I can still handle teaching the basic part now," Nangong Sanba pointed to the little mermaid who was jumping around on the table, "But I guess my knowledge will soon be insufficient. This child is frighteningly talented. Apart from being too small and not having enough combat power, she only needs to hear all the demon hunter skills once to learn them, she can memorize Laita runes at a glance, her mental synchronization is already stronger than mine, and she even learned the hunter's spirit vision skill by imagining it herself. This is a genius, my half-bucket of inheritance is not enough for her to toss around for two months."

Hao Ren stroked his chin: "There's no way, after all, she obtained the power from the source sacred weapon, and theoretically she is considered a first-generation demon hunter bloodline. It is estimated that no one has a purer bloodline than her except for the ancestors of your race, and no one has a stronger talent than her."

"The demon hunter is a race that values bloodlines very much. Although acquired efforts can also create miracles, the role of innate pure blood is still not to be underestimated," Nangong Sanba shook his head. This half-baked guy who always liked to pretend to be a big tail wolf finally admitted that he was not good enough at this time, "I can't teach her anymore."

Hao Ren looked at Nangong Sanba: "Then what is your suggestion?"

"Find her a more suitable teacher as soon as possible, a professional demon hunter, not necessarily with an excellent bloodline, but at least knowledgeable and with a complete inheritance, otherwise it would be a waste of this child's great talent."

Hao Ren thought for a while and suddenly realized something: "Wait, Doudou seems to be only a foot long, right?"

"Yes."

"...Then what's the use of letting her learn so comprehensively! Is she going to slap people in the face with her tail after she has mastered her skills?" Hao Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "For the time being, let her control her abilities. Anyway, I don't expect this little guy's combat power—apart from being able to sing to deal with angry spirits and beat that silly cat, I really don't think she can beat anyone else."

Nangong Sanba: "Um...that's true."
