Chapter 899 Yggdrasil

Hao Ren subconsciously paused when he heard the data terminal’s voice. “Yggdrasil? That fast? Didn’t you say it would take another ten days or half a month to have new information?”

“Its power is decaying faster than previously calculated,” the data terminal explained simply. “The Guardians of the Chandar Civilization Circle discovered it stopped next to a dying star, apparently trying to draw energy from the star after its power was exhausted. Now, Anthony, the inspector of the Chandar Civilization Circle, and Galaziel, the inspector closest to Chandar, have blockaded the area, but based on your reminder, they have not rashly contacted Yggdrasil.”

“It’s good that they haven’t made contact. The First Born is the type of creature that would split hairs, and if it believes it is being threatened, it might fight to the death with others.” Hao Ren said, taking a deep breath. After tracking it for so long, the lost First Born was finally trapped in the inspectors’ encirclement. This made him feel relieved. In any case, the clues hidden in the Yggdrasil space chain were too important, and he had been worried that something might go wrong.

“It seems you are about to leave,” Laymon Dusa’s voice came from the side. “Your responsibilities are great, and you are always busy.”

“There’s more than just Mimir who drifted into my universe,” Hao Ren smiled and looked up. “We are tracking the whereabouts of another Guardian. If all goes well, perhaps I can bring a new friend to Zhuom then.”

The matter was urgent, so Hao Ren did not exchange too many pleasantries with the Muru trio. He left a series of instructions for the factory array in space and confirmed that Laymon Dusa had everything she needed to work here. Then, he hurried back to Earth. The data terminal was entangled for a few seconds when leaving: it was extremely reluctant to leave its “Patian,” and this PDA with a problem in its head had almost completely regarded itself as a warship host…

But in the end, it did not dare to delay the matter at hand, and could only obediently follow Hao Ren home, while the Patian entered autonomous mode. After Hao Ren captured this rebel warship, he completely abandoned its original master computer. The reconstructed shipboard host was installed under Nolan’s supervision, and it was sufficient to complete the subsequent work.

In fact, the Patian did not even need external AI control when performing this kind of engineering task. The only reason the data terminal insisted on personally controlling it was because it thought it was very cool…

Hao Ren returned home in a hurry. Before setting off to meet Galaziel, he wanted to bring some helpers: after all, he was going to deal with the First Born, and the necessary combat power had to be guaranteed. At least he had to bring a DPS or something.

Izhaks had been immersed in accompanying his daughter, going door to door collecting old appliances, for too long. If he didn’t come out for a walk, he would probably end up in a nursing home…

A white light flashed in the Hao family’s mansion, and Hao Ren led Vivian and Lily directly into the living room. Just as the light and shadow in front of him stabilized, he saw the Nangong siblings occupying the largest open space in the living room, seemingly studying something: Nangong Wuyue was in her sea serpent form, coiled into a huge mosquito coil, with her upper body swaying back and forth, while Nangong Sanba was sitting cross-legged on a chair opposite Wuyue, holding a strangely shaped flute and shaking his head while playing an out-of-tune melody—Hao Ren knew at a glance that these siblings were up to something again.

“Brother, are you an idiot?” After listening to the extremely unpleasant “music” for a while, Wuyue couldn’t bear it any longer and knocked the flute out of Sanba’s hand with her tail. “Do you really think this thing has a healing effect?”

Nangong Sanba was still confused. “Hey, it shouldn’t be. I studied water purification for several days back then… I even specifically referenced Indian…”

Wuyue didn’t wait for Sanba to finish, and directly wrapped her tail around her brother and gave him a spinning **** wind: “I knew there was something wrong with your water purification technique! Can’t you learn something serious… Ouch, Landlord, you’re back?”

The girl had just noticed Hao Ren and the other two who were peeking in from the side.

Hao Ren looked curiously at the siblings who had problems every now and then. “What are you doing this time?”

Nangong Sanba, while being swung around in the air, shouted loudly, “She drank too much dish soap… I’m trying to help her detoxify!”

Hao Ren was immediately stunned, looking at Wuyue with a strange expression. “Why did you drink dish soap?”

Wuyue conveniently… or rather, tail-conveniently threw her brother aside, scratched her hair: “To save trouble…”

Hao Ren immediately forgot about his business, and his strong curiosity made him understand the whole story, only then did he know that Nangong Wuyue usually put dish soap or laundry detergent when she was responsible for washing dishes and clothes – this could save her a lot of magic power.

However, everyone knew that her method of washing things was actually to swallow them into her stomach, so she usually just drank the detergent directly…

Then today she suddenly felt that it was troublesome to drink a mouthful every time, so the genius siren Wuyue came up with a brilliant idea, that is, she ran to the supermarket and bought two buckets of two-liter dish soap, and drank them all in one gulp.

Then she realized that even elemental creatures can have stomachaches, and sirens can’t always empty all the toxins in their bodies under any circumstances. After drinking two buckets, a total of four liters of dish soap, she couldn’t even excrete it, and now she was burping bubbles…

After finding out what happened, Hao Ren could only stare blankly. Even though so much time had passed, he still had to admit – the daily life of these demons and monsters was really too rich and colorful! He usually didn’t do housework, and he didn’t even know that the siren girl had such great creativity!

“Hic… My brother said that he studied water purification in the past, hic… maybe he can use the demon hunter’s detoxification magic to help me expel the dish soap,” Nangong Wuyue said while hiccuping, and many bubbles would come out every few words. “I really believed in his evil… Hic, it’s a miracle that his half-baked skills can create self-made magic! He just went to India and learned some snake charming… hic… methods!”

Doudou immediately jumped out of the fish tank on the coffee table next to her, chasing the dish soap bubbles floating in the air with great interest.

Hao Ren: “……”

“Actually, I still have a certain theoretical basis,” Nangong Sanba finally stopped feeling dizzy at this time, and crawled onto the sofa with his hands and feet to explain, “waist movement can stimulate the stomach and intestines, which helps digestion and detoxification, and then combined with my magic…”

Wuyue glared at her brother, “It’s better for me to find a filter to filter if I rely on your little bit of magic! And I’m a siren, not a snake! Doesn’t that mean that even the talent changes after transforming into a snake form—would it kill you to discuss it with me before you play the flute?”

Nangong Sanba thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands, “Hey, that’s right, we can also try a filter! Wait for me to buy an extra-large filter, and then you flow through it to see if it works…”

Wuyue waved her tail, looking exhausted, “Go away… hic, I’ll just detoxify slowly myself… hic, it should be fine in a few days anyway. Oh right, Landlord, did you want to say something just now?”

Wuyue’s reminder made Hao Ren slap his forehead, remembering that he almost forgot the business at hand: “Oh right! Business! Yggdrasil has been found! I’m going to find Galaziel, and I’ll come back to call people—what is Lao Wang doing?”

“He’s repairing his tricycle behind the house. The tricycle he usually uses to pull Elizabeth to collect old appliances had its pedals stepped off by him this morning.”

Hao Ren: “……”

He really should take Lao Wang out for a walk, this dignified former Demon King will completely turn into a retired old cadre if he doesn’t go out and fight a couple of times!

Hao Ren was just about to turn around and find Izhaks when he saw Nangong Wuyue hesitate for a moment and say, “You’re going to investigate Yggdrasil’s situation, right—why don’t you take me with you this time?”

Hao Ren was stunned. “It’s not common for you to volunteer.”

Actually, he wanted to directly say, “Aren’t you usually very cowardly?”, but considering the siren girl’s self-esteem, he was too embarrassed to say it.

Although with Wuyue’s cowardly character, even if someone really said it to her face, she probably wouldn’t care at all: she regarded cowardice as the rhythm of her life…

Wuyue shook her body with a proud expression, the scales of her real water snake waist bringing out a dazzling brilliance as she swayed, “Don’t you need to bring a healing profession when you go on this kind of mission? My mom is busy taking care of the store now, so you should just take me.”

What the siren girl said was reasonable, and in fact, Hao Ren thought so too, even if the other party didn’t speak, he would bring Wuyue or Aisha—after all, they were going to a dangerous place, and not bringing a healer would be stupid. But he still didn’t quite believe that Wuyue was so proactive, so he asked again, “Tell the truth.”

“… I drank too much dish soap and feel燥得慌, I want to find a place to move around and digest.”

Hao Ren: “……”
