Chapter 898 - 897: Pandemonium

Chapter 898: Chapter 897: Pandemonium

The living room was still a mess with overturned trash cans, scattered snack packages, and broken instant noodles on the floor still not cleaned up. The couch and coffee table were crookedly placed back to their original positions, and now Yu Sheng sat in one of the sofas with a serious face.

The two colorful fairies were hanging their heads in front of him, looking honest and squatting on the couch armrest opposite the coffee table, one on the left and one on the right.

The corner of Yu Sheng’s eye twitched as he looked at those two colorful creatures standing barefoot on the armrest of the sofa, his facial muscles twitching involuntarily: "You two, get down."

The two girls cooed twice, obediently jumping down from the sofa armrest, and squatted on the floor instead.

"I said sit on the... Oh, forget it, you two stay however you like."

Yu Sheng spoke while sighing deeply, suddenly feeling a deep sense of exhaustion.

To be honest, he was never this tired when he supervised the group of young kids in the valley for Little Red Riding Hood, writing assignments, at least those kids could still understand human language. But the two here, even though they barely formed a humanoid shape, whose head is full of so many colors like theirs?

More importantly, although they looked like a bouquet on the head, at least it’s not dyed, and although they could only barely be called humanoid, they have a faint touch on humanity, they know how to be cowed when scolded, and they feel guilty when made mistakes—better than Erin in that aspect.

Yu Sheng sighed again, looking at those two squatting on the floor, and tentatively started talking: "White Cut?"

The one with longer hair immediately raised her head, her head full of bits and pieces of jade stone and metal clinking: "Coo coo..."

Yu Sheng’s eyebrow twitched, then turned to look at the other: "...Salt Roasted?"

The one with short hair also raised her head: "Coo coo!"

Then the two immediately lowered their heads again, as if seriously researching the pattern on the floor.

"Raise your head," Yu Sheng couldn’t help it anymore, "is there a flower on the ground? Look at me!"

The two colorful girls simultaneously retracted their necks, obediently raised their heads to look at Yu Sheng, staring straight at him.

Then, after less than two seconds, Yu Sheng saw the long-haired one’s eyes starting to cross, while the short-haired one’s began to drift apart slowly...

At this moment, he felt overwhelmed by a breath of wisdom. Normally, he was used to seeing the wandering eyes of White Cut and Salt Roasted, but now the same gaze was on both of them, totally awkward as can be — but since it was his own command, he could only grit his teeth and continue to maintain a serious demeanor:

"Tell me, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly transform? And, why did you make a mess at home?"

White Cut and Salt Roasted exchanged a glance, and the next second, they both started speaking to Yu Sheng: "Coo coo da goo goo gah gah..."

The two colorful girls loudly babbled while gesticulating, the trinkets on their bodies clinking noisily along.

It’s said that clinking ornament, but apparently, these two had a bit too many ornaments, and when they made noise, Yu Sheng felt like his head was going to explode, and he could only slap the coffee table: "Stop! First, speak one at a time, don’t babble together, second, if you’re going to talk, don’t make movements, don’t let things clink randomly, lastly and most importantly—speak human language! Who knows what you mean by coo coo gah gah?"

The two colorful girls got frightened again, but thankfully, this time they didn’t keep fluttering around. After a period of brewing, seemingly the "older sister" White Cut started talking: "Not, not sure what happened, the stone started glowing, and suddenly we lost control. We had suppressed well, stuck at the transforming point, then suddenly it was broken..."

The short-haired Salt Roasted nodded along, looking pitiful: "When in master’s tail, the stone kept glowing, then the body heated up, felt like eating lots of stews, came out for some air, then saw the stone, glowing again."

"Then lost control," White Cut’s head nodded up and down, "and also really hungry, extremely hungry. There was food in master’s tail, but without master, we had to find food ourselves, there was food in the fridge, and also in the cabinet, nothing in the sofa, couldn’t get it from the TV, the mouth transformed, the taste of the food also changed, but it could fill the stomach..."

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, these two colorful girls talked somewhat chaotically, sometimes with even muddled thoughts, but the general meaning was fairly understandable, after back and forth questions and answers, he roughly understood the situation.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on the crystals on the table.

They were samples collected from the large crystal landing point near Hilly Land.

At this moment, Yu Sheng noticed the two colorful girls squatting on the ground suddenly trembled simultaneously, followed by the action of hugging their heads and curling into balls.

He turned his head to look, there stood Hu Li at the kitchen door.

Normally lazy and gentle, the demon fox girl had an aura of tangible killing intent surrounding her at this moment.

The air around was almost dark with resentment, nine tails spread open like a Sword Tomb, fox fire rising from the tip of her tails.

Yu Sheng instantly knew what was happening—

She had just checked the refrigerator.

The Little Puppet on the coffee table noticed this, clapped her hands, turned to look at the colorful girls squatting on the floor, and spoke loud enough to cause chaos: "Oh hoh—seems like you two are really going into the pot tonight."

Then those two colorful girls started crying instantly, crying very loudly.

Next second, the fox girl angrily stormed towards the living room, Yu Sheng heard the tremendous noise White Cut and Salt Roasted made compared to almost twenty Erins, simultaneously opening a pair of huge colorful wings behind them, fluttering as they jumped behind the sofa, then rolling and crawling towards the door, flapping and making chaotic sounds.

Imagine the commotion at that moment, Yu Sheng’s ears were full of the sound of flapping wings and various coo coo da goo goo gah noises, accompanied by colorful feathers flying everywhere, along with the noise from the trinkets worn by the colorful girls.

Erin, like a black cat, nimbly climbed onto the back of the sofa near Yu Sheng, admiring the scene amidst the chaos. As she admired, she leaned over to Yu Sheng’s ear: "Hey, hey, this is the real chaos! Oh, oh, they jumped! The silly fox really jumped!"

Yu Sheng had no time to deal with this puppet reveling in the chaos. He hurriedly got up, ready to restore world peace. Just then, Hu Li pounced like a Fox Carrot, pinning the two Chicken Essences to the ground, her several tails extending out like the Immortal Binding Rope, securely tying up the sisters’ hands and feet.

The all-encompassing oppressive force, stemming from lineage, aura, and long nurturing, weighed down all at once. At this moment, two Divine Birds, whose cultivation levels could rival Xuan Che, lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

However, the anticipated beating did not occur.

Hu Li, full of anger, took out two metal fruit cans that had been gnawed to bits and placed them in front of the two immobilized Colorful Chicken Essences.

"Why did you bite them open and only drink the soup without finishing the contents inside?"

White Cut and Salt Roasted were suddenly stunned, looking dumbfounded at their master with their heads tilted.

After two or three seconds, their eyes regained clarity... One looked cross-eyed, while the other had eyes drifting apart.

"Food shouldn’t be wasted. Once you’ve bitten them, you should finish them," the fox girl scolded harshly, looking at her two raised "children" with anger on her face.

"The lid... couldn’t be opened," Salt Roasted finally responded, shrinking her neck as much as possible, "I made a bite mark and could only drink the soup... If only we had hard beaks to pry it open."

Hu Li raised a hand to point at the structure on the can lid: "Use your hand, pull the ring up."

White Cut looked guilty: "I... can’t, uh, my hand doesn’t work well..."

Hu Li tilted her head, seriously scrutinizing the two shivering Colorful Chicken Essences for a few seconds, and then suddenly released the tails binding them.

"Alright, I’ll teach you later," she said as she tore open the already mangled can packaging, scooping out the remaining fruit pieces to feed the sisters.

White Cut and Salt Roasted immediately approached, eating the food from Hu Li’s hand cleanly.

Just like when they were very small, they would peck the rice grains clean from Hu Li’s palm.

"I thought you’d surely give them a good beating," Yu Sheng’s voice came from the side, watching with a mixed expression, "Those two cans were supposed to be your dinner tonight."

"They were hungry, and when hungry, they should eat," Hu Li earnestly replied, looking up, "But wasting food is not okay. If you waste, you get punished."

After saying this, she stood up and glanced around the living room again.

Luna was holding a broom at the foot of the stairs, seemingly ready to start cleaning once the chaos settled down.

Hu Li turned back and glared at White Cut and Salt Roasted, causing the two Colorful Chicken Essences, who were still licking their lips, to shiver again, as if unsure why they were being glared at.

"There’s no punishment for eating, but making a mess like this is not acceptable," she sternly said, "Clean up your own mess. Throw snack wrappers into the trash, sweep the floor clean, and tidy the tables—Luna, you can supervise them, no need to help."

Luna nodded, turning around to fetch another broom from the bathroom, handing it to the two still-dazed Colorful Chicken Essences.

White Cut and Salt Roasted clumsily held the brooms, with eyes visibly shifting into bewildering angles...

But they were obedient, and after a brief study of how to use the tools in their hands, they diligently started cleaning.

However, given their clumsy nature... this cleaning might take a while.

Yu Sheng then led Hu Li and the others back to the coffee table.

Several pairs of eyes fell simultaneously on the crystals, faintly glowing.

"It seems... the problem lies here," Yu Sheng said, stroking his chin, recalling events before they left the house, "I remember when we brought these crystals home, apart from the one Erin held, the rest were in your tail..."

"White Cut and Salt Roasted also lived in your tail," Erin added, mimicking Yu Sheng’s chin stroking with a serious analysis, "It means they were exposed to it the whole way, no wonder they felt stifled and wanted air when we got home, and we placed the crystals outside... Hey, silly fox, maybe you should build a containment chamber or something inside your tail? For storing unidentified samples or whatever."

Upon hearing this, the fox girl showed a slightly odd expression: "Do you hear what you’re saying?"

"But I think my suggestion makes sense," Erin said confidently, "You just pile everything in that tail, with no organized storage..."

Hu Li pondered a bit and looked at Yu Sheng: "Savior, what should I do? I actually think she’s making sense!"

Yu Sheng: "..."

What could he do? He also thought Erin made sense...
