Vivian was seldom so energetic.
The very good-tempered, ancient vampire was always busy doing housework in the big house like a good mother and wife. Her favorite thing was cooking; her favorite pastime was dazing and sleeping; the entertainment she liked included news on the grapevine and boring TV shows. She was so adapted to the life of ordinary people that Hao Ren almost forgot her true identity: an ancient vampire, who had been active on Earth since the Yuanmou Man walked upright; a powerful creature called the Countess of the Crimson Moon that the werewolves were afraid of.
Facing frequent provocations from the demon hunters, the first thing the countess did was indeed fight with them.
Hao Ren had little information on hand at the moment. They could not tell how many hunters had come to the street based on the runes Lily found in the neighborhood. They could only be sure that it was done by real demon hunters. Therefore, Hao Ren prepared for the worst. They would fight with them. Then, he would take everyone and escape to Kuiper station or other places. Now, this was the only thing that gave Hao Ren peace of mind. He had another plan, which was almost impossible for the demon hunters to follow. He did not believe that the extremists would have the knack to chase after them up to outer space. And if they did, he would just let the station garrison teach them how to be good people.
Lily was sent out to search for spell cards that were set up nearby by the demon hunters. However, obviously, it was not something that she could do alone in a hurry. Hence, Lily came back home after about an hour, for lunch. Eating was the most important thing to Lily. The husky’s combat power dropped to zero when it was time to eat. This was a natural phenomenon. You could not fight it.
On the other side, over 10 bats released by Vivian began to search the demon hunters’ trails throughout the Southern Suburbs in a giant and ever-expanding spiral track. They would return and report to Vivian when they found traces of the slightest supernatural phenomenon. However, Vivian was still busy cooking in the kitchen as if nothing was happening. The lunch was a sumptuous meal as usual.

You can still keep your composure,
Hao Ren could not help but remark during lunch. Vivian, who sat facing Hao Ren had switched into her Blood Clan form but, her magical, bloody eyes did not show much tension. Vivian, in vampire form still set the table for them quickly and neatly as usual. She did not look murderous and fierce at all.

Why can’t I?
Vivian took some vegetables with an indifferent smile.
We have no clue at this point anyway. We should eat and drink as usual to keep our energy. I’ve faced lots of troubles. At least, those who laugh till the end won’t not lose their appetite before a duel.

In another sense, these were really inspiring words, which gave Hao Ren peace of mind.
Lily was also in her husky form. Her pointy ears occasionally twitched ever so slightly in the air as she kept an eye out for any movement outside. She feared that the hunters would attack them in the next second. She bit her chopsticks and muttered,
Why aren’t Wuyue and the big guy back yet… They aren’t encountering any problems, are they?


The big man won’t have any problems. There aren’t many people on this planet, who can beat him unless, the demon hunters exiled him to another space using strange ancient power.
Vivian was not worried about him and continued to explain,
We don’t even have to worry about Nangong Wuyue. Sirens won’t die.


Sirens won’t die?
Hao Ren remembered hearing similar things somewhere before but, he did not take them seriously at that time. And now that he heard it again, he was curious.
What does that mean?


The sirens are the only creatures that baffle the demon hunters. So much so that they generally don’t consider the sirens as an ‘alien species’, which needs to be eradicated.
Vivian kept on explaining about the siren’s unknown traits.
Although the demon hunters never openly admit it, a minority of them call the sirens the ‘Will of Water’ or the ‘Guardian of the Deep Sea’, and they treat the sirens as a species somewhere between aliens and the Holy Spirit. The sirens are peaceful and noninvasive in nature. They are powerful and bizarre but, are never the ones who provoke a dispute. The most important thing is that they can freely change their form in water, or even become part of the water. Death is not the end. They will regenerate through the cycle of evaporation and rain. So, even the demon hunters aren’t willing to provoke such a deathless species.

Hao Ren had never heard of such a thing.
The sirens are that powerful?


Yes, quite so. So powerful that I wonder if they’re creatures that should exist in this world,
Vivian tilted her head and continued,
And their way of life is so weird. Ninety-nine percent of the sirens are hiding in secluded spots located in the deep sea, where no one has ever been. There used to be some pretty powerful guys, who tried to locate the sirens’ kingdom, like Poseidon and Ophion. However, they failed. When they came back, they vowed that they saw the sirens swim to the deep sea but, when they followed them from behind, they found themselves at the bottom of a barren ocean. Over time, this hidden species has become the ‘absolute neutral’ faction, which all unusual creatures and demon hunters on Earth usually don’t to provoke. Honestly, if it weren’t for Ebben swearing earlier, and me seeing Nangong Wuyue, this real living siren with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that there used to be a group of sirens, who went ashore more than 100 years ago… I haven’t figured out what they intended to do on shore.

Hao Ren was surprised to find that the siren had such an unusual background. To be frank, they could hardly find any powerful traces in Nangong Wuyue. The girl just marveled them when she slid around on her tail and treaded the deep sea. She usually kept a low profile.
However, Hao Ren also caught another message from Vivian’s description. Most of the sirens’ strengths were embodied in their ability to resurrect or reincarnate as well as their mysterious nature. In terms of combat power, the sirens did not seem to be able to help them during the fight with demon hunters. They were probably a species that could protect themselves but, were weak when it came to fighting…
They could not put all their hopes in Nangong Wuyue to fight against the demon hunters. Y’zaks was obviously more reliable than the siren.
Among all of them, Lil Pea was the only one who had completely no idea about what was going on. The little one was confined in the weird, big house. She did not know that it was sinister outside. She just lay on the table and curiously watched the adults talk while they ate. Occasionally, she would make strange noises to attract attention. She was also probably wondering why the adults just licked the food but did not eat them. Yes, to her, chopsticks were food and the stuff that was stuck in between the chopsticks… She had no idea what it was.
The little one then ate half of a chopstick again. She patted her bulging belly and lay in the pot. As she floated in the water, she fell into a doze. Vivian looked at the small mermaid in the pot with a smile. She then sighed and said,
I really envy the little mermaid for being in such a simple state. She has nothing to worry about, nothing to think about… I don’t even know what my childhood was like.

Vivian was confused about her memory. She did not know anything about her childhood so, she would sigh once in a while. Sometimes, Hao Ren suspected that the vampire actually did not have a childhood but, he dared not tell her directly.
At that moment, a noise suddenly came from the outside. A pack of dogs were barking.
Lil Pea, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise. She jumped out from the pot and onto the table. Lily was happily wagging her tail. She stood up and said,
Oh—oh, my men have come to report their work!

Lily’s men?
Hao Ren suddenly came to a realization and ran to open the door quickly. He was shocked after he opened the door.
There were approximately hundreds of dogs that were either standing, lying, squatting or sitting there. They gathered on the street, which now looked as grand as the Spring Festival!
Hao Ren suspected that all the dogs in the Southern Suburbs were gathered in this place.

This… What the hell is going on?
Vivian came along when she heard the noise and was stunned when saw the scene. Lily shouted from the back,
Didn’t you guys ask me to find a way to get the spell cards on the street? I couldn’t do it alone so, I ordered them to help me!

Hao Ren just noticed that every dog had at least one piece of paper with a Letta rune in its mouth. Some even had four or five of the spell cards with them. There were so many dogs in front of them, which meant that there were at least hundreds of carefully arranged spell cards searched out.
Hao Ren thought that if he was the demon hunter, he would have rather died. Who else could have thought of this wonderful tactic other than Lily?
