The Record of Unusual Creatures Chapter 1093 - Wuyue Is Drunk

The voice of the MDT stunned him a bit. “Yggdrasil? So fast? Didn’t you say it would take a couple of weeks?”

“It’s slowing down faster than expected,” the MDT said. “The guardian of the Chattar Civilization Sphere found it stopping next to a dying star. It probably wants to draw energy from the star. Now the inspector of Chattar Civilization Sphere, Anthony, and Galazur, have sealed off the area. But they did not engage Yggdrasil as you’ve instructed.

“Good. The First Born could act irrationally if it feels threatened,” Hao Ren said, exhaling. After tracking it for so long, the inspectors had finally cornered the lost First Born. For the first time since the hunt started, he could breathe a sigh of relief, somewhat. Yggdrasil’s dimensional chain contained a vital piece of information, which he needed. He could not afford to make any mistakes.

“It seems that you’re going to leave,” said Lemendusa. “You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulder and are always busy.”

“Other than Mimir, there are other guardians in exile in my universe,” Hao Ren said, looking up at Lemendusa with a smile. “We are tracking another guardian. If all goes well, maybe I can bring a new friend to Zorm.”

As the matter was of most urgency, he did not have much time for civilities. He left a series of instructions for the s.p.a.ce factories. He had also made sure that Lemendusa had all the necessary things he needed to work before he set off for Earth. Unwilling to part with the Pattianne, the MDT was dragging its feet for a moment. This PDA with a large brain hole had regarded itself as the central computer of the battles.h.i.+p.

Reluctantly, the MDT switched the Pattianne into automatic mode before he followed Hao Ren and left. When Hao Ren captured this rebel battles.h.i.+p, he had dismantled its central computer. During the modification, it was Nolan who supervised the new computer installation. This new central brain was enough to handle the rest of the work.

In fact, the Pattianne did not need the a.s.sistance of external AI to work. The only reason the MDT insisted on piggybacking on the central computer was that it thought it was cool.

Hao Ren had to get home and bring some helpers before departing to meet Galazur. After all, the one he was dealing with was a First Born. Some high-DPS weapons were necessary.

Y’zaks had been idling at home, spending all his time with her daughter collecting old appliance. He would soon deserve a place in the nursing home if he continued dawdling his life away like this.

A flash of bright light later, Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily arrived home in the living hall. The Nangong siblings were occupying the most prominent s.p.a.ce in the living room as if they were studying something. In the form of a sea snake, Nangong Wuyue coiled herself up on the floor with her body swaying in the air. Nangong Sanba, meanwhile, was sitting leg-crossed on a chair opposite his sister, blowing an out of tune music with a strange flute while swaying his head side to side. They were entertaining themselves out of boredom.

“My brother, are you a r.e.t.a.r.d?” Nangong Wuyue could not bear listening to the “music” anymore, raising her tail and striking the flute off Nangong Sanba’s hand. “Do you really think this music has a curative effect?”

Nangong Sanba still looked confused. “It should work. I have studied water cleansing magic and learned from the Indian—”

Without waiting for Sanba to finish, Wuyue had grabbed him with her tail and spun him like a windmill in the air. “I knew you have problems with this water cleansing magic! Can’t you study some serious magic? Ahh, Mr. Landlord, you are back!”

Only now she realized that Hao Ren was watching them.

Looking at the siblings, Hao Ren asked, “What are you doing again?”

While being spun in the air, Nangong Sanba said with a loud voice, “She has drunk too much detergent. I was trying to detoxify her!”

Astounded, Hao Ren looked at Wuyue. “Why the h.e.l.l did you drink detergent?”

Throwing her brother aside, Wuyue scratched her head and said, “To save time.”

Curiosity had gotten the best of him, and he had forgotten why he had to come back. Nangong Wuyue was using detergent to wash dishes and clothes in her stomach to save time.

So she was drinking detergent.

Today, she suddenly felt that more detergent would do the job faster, so she thought of a genius way: she bought two barrels of soap, two liters each, and gulped them down in one go.

She did not realize that elemental creatures could also suffer stomach discomfort too, but it was too late. She was unable to empty her bowels in time, and she began to belch bubbles from her mouth.

Hao Ren’s jaw dropped. He realized he had underestimated the siren’s creativity.

*Burp*

“My brother said that he learned cleansing magic…”

*Burp*

“…and he could detoxify me,” Nangong Wuyue said, burping bubbles. “I was foolish to believe him—”

*Burp*

“It’d be a miracle if his homemade magic worked, considering how half-baked he is. It’s just a little snake trick he learned while he was in India!”

*Burp*

Seeing the bubbles in the air, Lil Pea jumped out of her fish tank and enthusiastically chased the bubbles.

Hao Ren was speechless.

“Actually, it has some medical basis,” Nangong Sanba said, recovering from his dizziness. He climbed onto the sofa on all fours and explained, “Moving the waist can stimulate the stomach, help digestion and detoxification, and then with the help of my magic—”

Before he could finish, Wuyue glared at him. “I’m better off getting a filter than relying on your magic! I’m a siren, not a snake! It’s not like I’ll lose my siren nature and really become a snake. You should have consulted me before blowing that G.o.dd.a.m.n flute.”

Nangong Sanba thought about it for a while, then clapped his hands. “Ah, yes, we can try the filter! Let me get an extra-large one!”

“Get the h.e.l.l out of my sight! Burp… I’ll find my own way to detoxify myself. Burp… It’ll get better in a few days anyway. Ah, Mr. Landlord, didn’t you have something to say just now?”

Only then did Hao Ren realize why he had come back. Smacking his forehead, he said, “Oh yeah, we’ve found Yggdrasil! I’m going to see Galazur. I need… err… Where the h.e.l.l is Y’zaks?”

“He’s at the back of the house, fixing the broken tricycle. You remember the tricycle he used to carry old appliance with Y’lisabet? He stepped on the paddle this morning, and the paddle snapped.”

Hao Ren was speechless.

He should have brought Y’zaks out. Y’zaks would lose his combat skills if he kept living a laidback lifestyle.

Just when Hao Ren was about to go out the back door to look for Y’zaks, Nangong Wuyue said, “You are going after Yggdrasil, aren’t you? Will you bring me this time?”

Hao Ren said, “You finally show some initiative.”

In his mind, he actually meant “Aren’t you chicken-hearted?” But he did not say it aloud for fear of hurting her self-esteem.

But considering her level of timidity, even if people were to say it in her face she would not have cared. She had regarded timidity as the rhythm of her life.

Shaking her body proudly as the sea-snake scales glittering on her waist, Nangong Wuyue said, “Don’t you need a healer when you are on a mission? My mom is busy looking after the restaurant, so can you take me along?”

What the siren maiden said made sense. In fact, Hao Ren had the same line of thought as well. He needed to bring either her or Ayesha along. After all, it was going to be a dangerous mission, and it would be stupid of him not to bring a healer. But he could not believe his ears when Wuyue offered to help, so he asked again, “Tell me the truth.”

“I’ve drunk too much detergent. I need to move around to help with digestion.”

Once again, Hao Ren was speechless.
