Chapter 899: Chapter 898: The Travel Agency Household Register Gains Two More Pages

Whether or not Hu Li’s tail should undergo some civil engineering is a matter to be discussed later. At this moment, Yu Sheng, Erin, and Hu Li have all focused their attention on that crystal.

Even Luna came over, although she was both observing these crystal samples and multitasking by overseeing two Colorful Chicken Essences sweeping the floor and wiping the table. After all, this was the first day these two birds walked upright and used tools with their hands, with proficiency comparable to two adult flounders. Even with their innate talents, the noise they made while sweeping was like they were using the brooms to beat themselves; supervision was necessary.

"I remember when that silly snake first saw the crystal, it reacted unusually," Erin’s brain finally managed a moment of clarity as she recalled the situation when she was holding the crystal and met the Snake Princess, "It said something about the ample spiritual power or whatever... and this thing does have an energy reaction."

"White Cut and Salt Roasted have been stuck at the transformation critical point for a while now," Hu Li nodded along with her foxy instincts, "Perhaps they just needed a little external stimulus, and today, they got that bit of stimulus."

"Why does it have this effect?" Even Luna became curious, "Previously discovered ’Angel Derivative’ only caused pollution and mutation..."

"Right, that’s what makes it unique," Yu Sheng furrowed his brow deeply, his thoughts becoming clearer, "All the previous ’Angel Derivatives’ I handled shared the common trait of being somewhat ’chaotic,’ but this thing... feels not only alive but with a hint of ’order.’"

"Maybe it’s just a coincidence?" Erin said casually, "Isn’t transformation a kind of mutation? Those two bird spirits have been fed all sorts of random stuff by the silly fox. I’m not surprised by anything that happens. Plus, in many movies and TV shows, they depict radiation that would kill people, but when it hits the protagonist, they not only survive, but awaken superpowers..."

But before the Little Puppet could finish speaking, Hu Li seriously corrected her: "Who told you that transformation is mutation? Mutation is a chaotic and uncontrollable process, whereas transformation is an orderly and controlled Daoist technique. If you mess around at the critical point of cultivation, you’ll just end up with demon possession. It’s like how ordinary people shouldn’t touch live wires..."

Erin listened, dumbfounded: "I-is that so?"

"In any case, this thing is quite unusual, I need to inform Baili Qing of what happened," Yu Sheng said as he began to collect a few crystal fragments, "The feedback from the blood transfer with these samples was also completely different from ordinary Angel Remains..."

Watching Yu Sheng’s serious reaction, Hu Li’s ears twitched slightly: "It’s rare to see our Savior this serious."

"Oh, it’s perfectly normal," Erin said while shaking her head, arms crossed, "It’s like suddenly finding a breathing human in a car after opening the door. Yu Sheng is used to collecting corpses of various things, so it’s necessary to be serious when he suddenly finds something that doesn’t look like a corpse."

At this time, Yu Sheng had already taken out his phone and started calling Baili Qing.

He briefly shared the strange situation of the crystals, and on the other end of the call, Baili Qing became noticeably serious. ℴ

"...I’m here at the crystal landing point, and there’s no change in this area yet," Baili Qing said swiftly, "...I understand, subsequent research personnel will take a more cautious approach in contact and testing processes... Yes, the entire area will be tightly sealed, and no samples will be lost. Additionally, any situation will be reported to you immediately..."

She then asked Yu Sheng many detailed questions, to which Yu Sheng answered accordingly.

"Is there anything else?"

Baili Qing asked right before ending the call.

"Anything else..."

Yu Sheng spoke while glancing around the living room.

Those two colorful girls were still in conflict with the brooms, awkwardly scraping at the floor while sneaking bites at the broom handles unnoticed. Despite the messy work, they hadn’t stopped, and the living room was indeed tidied up quite a bit.

Noticing Yu Sheng’s gaze, Salt Roasted looked up and smiled brightly, her eyes darting sideways...

This is the most intelligent pair of eyes at the travel agency.JPG.

"There’s a small matter," Yu Sheng quickly looked away to avoid meeting the gaze of that colorful rack, and said into the phone, "Can you send a staff member over? I have two more here who need ID cards."

There was a two-second silence from Baili Qing’s side.

"...The two raised by Hu Li?"

Yu Sheng: "Yes, they’ve transformed, so they might be useful."

"...Alright, I’ll inform the staff, someone will be there shortly."

After hanging up the call with Baili Qing, Yu Sheng sighed softly, only to see those two Colorful Chicken Essences somehow squatting next to each other on the stair railings.

He was just about to ask what was going on when, in the next moment, he saw them suddenly extending their necks and crowing loudly...

Yu Sheng was shocked at that moment.

Because in his memory, this was a rooster’s job...

Erin was also shocked at that moment.

The noise from those two on the stair rail was so loud that her TV remote got scared and flew away.

It was Hu Li who first rushed over, grabbing each of them and pulling them down: "Why are you suddenly crowing?"

"Finished sweeping the floor!" White Cut said happily.

"Everything’s cleaned up!" Salt Roasted said happily as well.

"No need to shout so loudly after work!" Hu Li said exasperatedly, "Just speak normally."

The two Colorful Chicken Essences weren’t sure if they understood or not; they just nodded vigorously: "Oh, okay, okay!"

Yu Sheng sighed and suddenly felt exhausted.

"Both of you, sit here," he pointed to the sofa opposite, "I need to talk to you."

White Cut and Salt Roasted exchanged a glance—honestly, with their bewildering gaze, Yu Sheng was quite curious if they could actually make eye contact—before obediently running over.

Then squatted on the sofa opposite Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng: "I mean, sit... Forget it, squatting is fine too."

White Cut nodded vigorously, and the scattered fragments on his head rustled noisily.

Yu Sheng sighed again: "Later, someone will come to get you identity cards, and register your residence."

As soon as he finished saying this, the two colorful stands across from him fluttered up, embraced each other, and shouted chaotically:

"It’s over, it’s over, we’re doomed!"

"What did they say? What did they say? Once transformed, we’d have to go out to work!"

"Not a kernel of corn is eaten in vain..."

"Don’t want to work! Don’t want to work!"

Listening to this made Yu Sheng’s head explode. Before he could speak, a white shadow already ran over. Miss Hu Li raised her small golden-breaking and jade-smashing fists and slammed them onto the heads of White Cut and Salt Roasted, producing two sounds of clashing metals on the spot.

Though the method was a bit rough, it was indeed quite effective, as the two "people" immediately quieted down.

Yu Sheng took this opportunity to quickly explain to them why they needed to get identity cards, emphasizing repeatedly that it’s not to send them out to work — especially given their colorful stand-like appearance and current mannerisms, they wouldn’t even be suitable for guarding a bicycle shed, much less working. Even in a KTV, hanging from the ceiling as colorful lights, if a karaoke machine has a mechanical soul, it would find their colors too disruptive...

But come to think of it, where did these two get this idea of "not wanting to work" when they spend all day living in Hu Li’s tail?

Yu Sheng rubbed his forehead, temporarily setting aside this confusing question, and tiredly looked at Hu Li.

"Take them to wash up first; their faces are a mess — then tidy up their fragmented outfits and change into some normal clothes. They’ll have to take photos for their identity cards later. As for the hair... ah, just leave it. Anyway, Boundary Land is a place of extraordinary people, as long as the ID photo shows they’re intelligent creatures."

Erin quickly crawled up beside him, whispering quietly: "I don’t think it’s going to work..."

Yu Sheng: "..."

Hu Li then carried the two Colorful Chicken Essence like little chicks to the bathroom to clean up.

As expected, a ruckus soon broke out in the bathroom — one moment White Cut complained about the water being too hot, the next Salt Roasted said it was too cold, accompanied by chaotic clucking sounds, making it as lively as a war.

Eventually, all the chaos was halted by two loud clanging metal sounds — all I can say is, physics really works.

After a while, Hu Li brought the two sisters back to the living room.

Yu Sheng looked up and had a bit of a dazed expression.

The two colorful Bird Spirits were indeed cleaned, but not only did their hairstyles remain unchanged, even their clothes were still the same, messy skirts pieced together with colorful cloth and voile, leaving it unclear whether they were styled as a fantasy, punk, or post-apocalyptic wasteland look — it made anyone’s head spin looking at them.

The only change was that the overly chaotic decorative fragments were gone, leaving only a few pieces of jade as accents. White Cut’s heap of small stones and metal pieces hanging off her hair had been removed, leaving just a few colorful bead strings entwined in her hair.

Yu Sheng: "Why are they still wearing these two outfits?"

Hu Li sighed, and for the first time, Yu Sheng saw this tired and helpless look on the always gentle and patient demon fox girl: "They say these are their colorful feather clothes, and refuse to change."

Yu Sheng: "...?"

"Perhaps it’s due to their short transformation time," Hu Li explained, "they’re still unable to distinguish the relationship between clothes and feathers — in fact, just persuading them to take off their clothes to shower was quite a challenge; they thought they were going to be plucked and cooked..."

Yu Sheng opened his mouth, ultimately unable to articulate anything due to the situation being too absurd.

Just then, he heard the doorbell ring.

Luna immediately turned around to open the door, and Yu Sheng followed.

The door opened, and Zheng Zhi stood at the entrance with someone.

"Brother Yu, someone’s looking for you, from the Special Service Bureau..."

Before Zheng Zhi’s words could finish, a familiar voice reached Yu Sheng’s ears: "Mr. Yu! I’m here again!"

Yu Sheng’s eyebrows involuntarily twitched, unsurprised by the appearance of this voice.

After all, the identity cards for several of the travel agency’s core members were processed by her.

The big shipper, Ren Wenwen.

A few minutes later, in the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.

Ren Wenwen sat on the single sofa opposite the coffee table, staring wide-eyed at the two dazzling present parties squatting on the sofa, with eyes meeting eyes.

For very obvious reasons, none of the three’s gazes aligned.

Ren Wenwen: "Mr. Yu, you certainly have quite the situation here..."

Yu Sheng covered his forehead: "I know..."
