Chapter 900: Chapter 899: The Next Phase

"Name?"

"White Cut."

"Species?"

"Chicken Essence."

"...Forget it, I’ll just fill in ’travel agency’ for you guys. Age?"

"Two and a half years old!"

Ren Wenwen looked up, locking eyes with the rainbow long-haired girl across from her, but the girl didn’t seem to see any problem at all. She confidently repeated, "Two and a half! That’s what Master told us!"

Yu Sheng quickly explained from the side, "It’s true, it’s true. Two years ago, they were still digging up grasshoppers in the field."

Ren Wenwen: "..."

So there she was, sitting across a coffee table from two colorful chicken essences, following the official registration process — everything was going as smoothly as possible (by travel agency standards).

What can I say, although the worldview of White Cut and Salt Roasted is all over the place, and their minds are as muddled as Erin’s, they do have the merit of being obedient. Especially when Hu Li stands beside them, they are as docile as quails. Even if they don’t understand what’s going on, they still cooperate obediently.

Of course, given that the sisters haven’t been in their current forms for long, their common sense is limited, and they couldn’t answer many questions. It was Yu Sheng and Hu Li who helped answer on the side.

After all the necessary information was recorded, Ren Wenwen raised her phone, "Alright, don’t move. I’m going to take an ID photo for you. You first, sis—look this way, straight at the camera."

Yu Sheng reminded from the side again, "You better hurry and take it, she’s already trying really hard to look straight."

"...Alright then," having registered various absurd creatures with absurd identities, Ren Wenwen was truly exceptional in her level of acceptance. She swiftly took two ID photos, paying no mind to White Cut and Salt Roasted’s palette-like appearances. After taking the photos, she pushed the two forms across the coffee table, "Sign here... or a handprint will do."

The two girls happily smeared some ink on their hands, slapped two handprints onto the forms, and then licked the red ink off their hands while following Hu Li to wash their hands.

A little while later, Ren Wenwen used her portable device to create ID cards on the spot for the colorful subjects and then began packing up her things into her bag.

As she packed, her gaze kept drifting over to Yu Sheng.

To be fair, Yu Sheng was calm even when he was poking at a living moon with a stick, but when faced with this big shipper, her gaze made his hair stand on end, cold sweat even started to form, "Is there, um, anything else?"

Ren Wenwen hesitated, "Mr. Yu, is there a sequel to the mid-length story ’Kingdom: Knight’s Return Home’ you released last month? Is there more to the story after the knight entered Royal City?"

Yu Sheng was surprised that the topic from the other side was actually normal, and he was somewhat relieved, starting to respond in a half-hearted manner, "Yes, yes, I’m currently gathering material from the people involved these past few days, just been too busy lately– as soon as this is over, I’ll write the sequel..."

Ren Wenwen immediately revealed a happy smile and quickly followed up with a second question, "Will the story between the giant guarding the mill and the Windmill Mill continue?"

"This..."

Yu Sheng instinctively opened his mouth, but abruptly stopped after saying a few words.

His expression was stiff as he looked at the innocent-looking clerk in front of him, and Ren Wenwen stared at him with pure expectation.

Yu Sheng swallowed nervously, "...It’s purely just a story between the giant guard and the Windmill Mill, right? What you want to see is just a pure story, right?"

Ren Wenwen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, just the two of them, super pure..."

Yu Sheng felt completely out of sync with her, but he didn’t dare ask further.

After finally getting this enthusiastic shipper to leave, Yu Sheng felt like he had aged two years and even started to question the value of his profession.

Meanwhile, there was a little puppet at the scene, eager for trouble—Erin clambered up onto the coffee table opposite, her eyes shining with excitement, "Hey, I thought you only had a bunch of new folders! Turns out you’ve been sneakily writing stuff? By the way, that big shipper is really something, why didn’t I think of such a bizarre pairing..."

"Can we not talk about this?" Yu Sheng waved his hand, "I need to take a breather."

A fluffy tail curled in from the side.

Leading White Cut and Salt Roasted back from washing their hands, Hu Li had overheard Ren Wenwen and Yu Sheng’s final conversation. Her focus was clearly on Yu Sheng, "Savior really likes to write, huh, I thought you didn’t have the time anymore..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you have so many roles now, and a lot of things to do," the fox girl said earnestly, "Besides... you’ve found out who you once were— and that’s no small matter."

Yu Sheng paused, seeing a hint of concern in the demon fox girl’s golden-red eyes.

"...Yeah, I really do enjoy it," after a brief hesitation, Yu Sheng smiled, "Writing something, documenting what happens, I find it interesting."

Although his memories from the first twenty-something years of his life might have spontaneously generated the moment he "woke up," and might have only been "smashed" together in that chain car crash that rocked the Boundary Land many years ago, he felt... certain hobbies from those twenty-something years should still be preserved, and continued.

Writing counts as one, eating delicious food also counts, cooking counts too.

Isn’t this equivalent to consciously doing things that "humans" are supposed to do?

— Yu Sheng thought so, and he felt that this was not bad at all.

Hu Li seemed to understand something, she smiled happily, her eyes curving.

White Cut and Salt Roasted didn’t know what was happening, they just squatted on the nearby sofa, staring with their four eyes, confusedly looking at Yu Sheng and their owner.

Erin also walked over, squatting down with them, whispering: "Why does it feel like these two have been so mushy lately..."

Yu Sheng ignored the whispers of the little creatures, glanced at the time on the wall clock, got up from the sofa to stretch a bit, and then said: "Alright, White Cut and Salt Roasted’s IDs are ready too, let’s discuss some practical issues next."

Erin looked up: "What practical issues?"

"Where are these two sleeping tonight?" Yu Sheng raised his hand, pointing at the two Colorful Chicken Essences who were busy tidying their hair and clothes, "They’ve transformed, so they can’t just..."

Before he could finish speaking, White Cut and Salt Roasted simultaneously looked up, raising their hands in unison to point at Hu Li... or rather, her tail.

Yu Sheng saw this and had a headache: "That’s what I’ve been saying, you’ve transformed, you can’t just keep living in Hu Li’s tail."

White Cut was puzzled: "Why not?"

"Two living people sleeping in someone else’s storage space, do you think that’s normal..."

Yu Sheng spoke unconsciously but stopped halfway, noticing the clear, sincere confusion on the two girls’ faces, swallowing the rest of his words.

He realized again the vast gap in worldview and understanding between these two immortal birds who were only two and a half years old and normal humans. For the sisters who grew up in a fox’s tail, they truly might not think there’s anything wrong with their lifelong lifestyle.

Just then, Hu Li spoke: "You two live in the attic, it’s spacious and quiet up there."

White Cut and Salt Roasted were initially stunned, and then showed expressions of being both helpless and nervous, Salt Roasted especially looked close to tears: "Master, are you abandoning us?"

Yu Sheng saw their reactions and immediately got a headache again, realizing things had really turned troublesome like this.

But then he realized he might not need to worry about this — Miss Hu Li obviously knew how to handle her "immortal pet" issues.

"Who said I’m abandoning you?" Hu Li said authoritatively yet earnestly, "You’ve only grown up, it’s only natural you can’t cling to me forever. If you were in my hometown, transformed immortal pets would need to go outside to dig a cave and establish their home. But you two are still immature, so you’ll stay with me for now."

She paused before adding: "Don’t worry, you’re just changing places, I’m still taking care of you."

Yu Sheng looked at this reliable and confident fox girl, surprised and widening his eyes, thinking how this appearance was entirely different from when she usually ate and lazily basked somewhere warm.

White Cut and Salt Roasted, reassured by their mistress’s words, visibly relaxed, and even seemed a bit... happy.

"It’s still early, I’ll go prepare your sleeping place," Hu Li waved to the sisters, "Come with me, I’ll teach you how to sleep on a bed... Of course I have to teach, you weren’t intending to squat on the bed to sleep, were you?"

Then Hu Li took the two colorful girls to the attic.

The Little Puppet climbed onto Yu Sheng’s shoulder, whispering in his ear: "Hey, hey, why does this silly fox seem like an old mother?"

Yu Sheng’s face twisted in embarrassment: "A fox being a mother to chickens? That would be quite scandalous to write..."

The Little Puppet clapped its hands: "Oh, this place is full of wonders, bats are mothers to dragons, you know in Boundary Land, that’s no big deal."

Yu Sheng: "..."

...

Achoo—

Baili Qing and Red suddenly sneezed in unison, startling Baili Xue beside them.

"What’s wrong with you two? Got a cold?" Ethereal eyes floated around in the night, "Can giants and high-tier vampires even catch a cold?"

Red rubbed her nose vigorously, ignoring the ethereal eyes fluttering before her: "There are always inexplicable sneezes in this world... Don’t worry about it. Ah Qing, how’s it going over there?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Baili Qing stood by Red’s side, her soft gray-white eyes shimmered slightly, and they stood by a giant crystal crater, but Baili Qing’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the crystal but at a certain point above in the sky.

She was attempting to trace the trajectory of the crystal’s fall by retrospect, even trying to trace its origin.

In previous investigations, this was easy for her.

Yet at this moment, with eyes that saw through everything, the "Colorless Dragon"... was lost in her own sight.

The shimmer in her eyes faded, Baili Qing rubbed her nose and shook her head gently.
