Chapter 76: Lily’s Super Evolution
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“So, you guys decided to bring her here?” Raven 12345 looked sideways at the werewolf maiden who was crouched on the floor. She growled nacingly. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. All my furniture’s made of super alloy. If she breaks any of her teeth, that’s not my problem.”
“She wasn’t this bad before we arrived but after teleporting, she can’t utter a word. On the bright side, she doesn’t bite.” Hao Ren explained awkwardly as he continuously pulled Lily’s tail, trying to keep her away from Raven’s office table.
They were already in Raven 12345’s office and Lily’s condition had worsened since that morning. She was unable to walk upright on two legs. She could only lie down indifferently beside Raven’s table. Occasionally she would let out a few beastly growls. She bit everything in sight, including the table and door fra. She even bit a passing arcane servant but as a result, a shock wave blew up in her face—she could no longer speak because of that.
Hao Ren knew Lily was ntally sound. The gnawing was just a distraction—to keep herself occupied with everything else except aggression. Biting the arcane servant was just an accident; the arcane servant did not even look human, Lily had probably mistaken it for a jelly.
Even Vivian, who always locked horns with Lily looked worried. Deep down, the vampire maiden was a kindhearted person. She looked at Lily, feeling sorry. “Should we find her so steel rods to gnaw?”
“That won’t be necessary.” Raven 12345 waved as she signaled Hao Ren to step aside. Raven got down in front of Lily. She pulled Lily’s head back so that Lily would raise her head. “Hey little pup, look into my eyes.”
Interestingly, Lily was calm upon hearing Raven’s voice. It was astounding contrast to her crazed state of mind earlier. Her breathing beca smoother as she stared attentively at Raven 12345 before muttering, “Doc…tor?”
“Yup. I’m your doctor. Look into my eyes. Tell , what did you see?” Raven 12345 spoke in a pleasant tone of voice, which was so soothing Hao Ren could not help but bang his head into the wall. This was supposed to be how the psychotic goddess talked, he thought.
A light of clarity flashed across Lily’s eyes. She pondered for a long ti before nodding. “There’s a leftover noodle at the corner of your mouth…”
Raven 12345 smacked Lily’s forehead. “I’m asking you to look into my eyes, not my mouth you idiot!”
Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank God, she’s still the psychotic b*tch who talks with just the right dose of bitchiness.”
Y’zaks stood by with his head lowered in reverence. He nudged Hao Ren in the arm and said, “Is this how the goddess is supposed to be over here?”
“Ya, have you seen any difference in the other world?” Hao Ren asked briefly.
“Of course not,” Y’zaks mumbled. “Seven out of the ten Xi Ling Celestials have facioplegia… How did you run up against this one?”
Hao Ren was silent.
Raven 12345 was trying to awaken sothing inside Lily. She held Lily’s head sturdy as her own eyes emitted a bluish, white glow. Her voice was soft as well as magical. “No matter what you see, don’t be worried. It’s just an illusion, you’re in a safe place. Tell little maiden, what do you see?”
“…Moon, a big moon…” Lily was still crouching on the floor but her muscles were beginning to relax slowly. “It’s red. There’s sothing seething on the moon like ocean waves… and there’s really a noodle at the corner of your mouth, I swear.”
“…Be serious! Focus on my eyes!” Raven 12345 wiped the noodle away. “Apart from that, what else? Recall everything that happened that night. Besides what you saw, what appeared in your mind?”
“People on the moon… I couldn’t see their faces but I knew there were many of them—they were lting away and becoming part of the ocean… There were people on the ground too. Everyone was lting away, I was scared… I wished I could be stronger and escape from being lted, then… You didn’t clean it enough, there’s still so of the noodle left on your mouth.”
Raven 12345 then smiled. “…Maiden, wield your weapon, you and —only one will be left standing today.”
Hao Ren swiftly stepped in to intervene. He did not know why a solemn mont had turned sour but, he knew he had to be the peacemaker. “Whoa, whoa, she’s always rash and impulsive. Furthermore, she’s left with only her brain stem now. By the way, what’s wrong with Lily?”
“You have a well-known vampire in your house.” Raven 12345 got to her feet and gave Vivian an intense glance. “She has great ability but I’m afraid she doesn’t know how to control it. The pup’s doing fine. Her subconscious has been invaded by hallucinations of so disaster which she has no idea of herself. She has been bugged by nightmares which have caused her to lose control of her power. That explains her deteriorating condition: she is plagued by her own nightmare.”
Raven 12345 bent down and patted Lily on her head. “Actually, I’ve so good news to break―”
Not waiting for Raven 12345 to finish, Hao Ren chid in, “Is she pregnant?”
The entire house beca as quiet as a grave. Only the sound of Lily gnawing at the table could be heard. Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a weird expression. “Landlord, what are you thinking about in that head of yours?”
Hao Ren tried frantically to explain. “Isn’t it always the case on TV? People always break the news of their pregnancy this way.”
Raven 12345 conveniently shot a tiny plasma ball, hitting Hao Ren on the head. “Your brain’s screwed up. It must be doing well in the City of Shadows. Considering the amount of scoundrels over there, I’m sure you’ve found your own kind. Talk about birds of a feather flock together. But, I was going to say—the pup’s about to evolve.”
Upon hearing that, Lily stopped gnawing at the table leg. Her ears stood up and she listened expectantly—apparently she had not gone mad.
“Evolve?” Hao Ren felt it was rather magical. “She’s a digital babe?”
“…I’ll send you for treatnt after the pup. Delaying treatnt isn’t a good idea.” Raven 12345 led out a long sigh as she shook her head. “You guys didn’t even know that this little girl’s a minor?”
“She’s an adult,” Vivian stepped up and exclaid. “Look at her. Does she look like a minor?”
“It’s just her shell.” Raven 12345 twisted her mouth and said, “Maybe she’s ripe physically but as a werewolf, apparently her ability isn’t up to par. Didn’t Hao Ren ntion that Lily doesn’t possess any special abilities except brute strength?”
“Good olfactory receptors too,” Hao Ren busily added. “Besides, she has a tail.’
“That isn’t a f*cking special ability!” Raven 12345 waved as she gave orders to an arcane servant. She then pointed at Hao Ren with an upset look on her face. “Feed this gentleman so dicine, just enough to shut him up!”
Hao Ren dared not utter a word. On the other hand, Vivian nodded her head as though she was thinking about sothing. “I’ve been wondering; although werewolves don’t usually possess magical abilities, they at least have so natural skills like Active Violence, Shadow Steps, Moonlight Masking and the like. Doggie however, doesn’t have any of that aside from great physical strength and incredible health. However what’s most amusing is that, she thought her brick-throwing, which she trained for five years was her greatest trick. For that matter, I wonder if werewolves even evolve at all? As far as I know, their special abilities co naturally as they grow up. Doggie’s going to experience an explosive evolution?”
“I can’t help it. Each one of you is weirder than the next,” Raven 12345 said it in such a way that like it carried so deep aning. “Ordinary wolves evolve gradually but due to the stimulation from your moonlight, this maiden’s going to experience super evolution. Well, that’s not a bad thing actually; she will evolve anyhow. Now, you’ve just saved five years worth of cleaning up damaged furniture. One thing you should know though—a werewolf’s natural growth period is five years and hyperactivity happens during their power awakening!”
Hao Ren wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead; there was nothing more comforting than the knowledge that Lily was safe. She was just going through her natural physiological evolution, albeit it being a little of out control.
Having known that, it was ti to think of ways to help the idiot sail through her evolutionary process—safely.
