Chapter 283 Hu Li's Confusion
Yu Sheng had a dream.
In his dream, he once again entered the thick fog, but without Hu Li and Irene. An unfamiliar street stretched straight forward from the door of his house. At the end of the road, there seemed to be something emitting a strong attraction. He kept walking forward, towards the deeper fog, as if he had walked in it for ten years, a hundred years...
In his dream, he walked forward tirelessly, and then gradually, the city in the fog presented an increasingly bizarre landscape. He saw the buildings bent like candles melting in the hot wind, and the roads curling and extending to the sky like strange seaweed floating in the water. He saw countless inverted shadows floating above the city, emitting strange light in the fog.
But he just kept moving forward, going deeper and deeper into the increasingly strange boundary city, as if passing through layers of increasingly bizarre mirages, until the surrounding fog turned into thick darkness, and shadows with substance formed huge masses, moving slowly and silently above the desolate and broken earth. The whole world in the dream became dim, and then he stood at the end of a desolate and broken land and saw the tall and slender figure again.
The artificial saint of the Saintly Hermitage, this killing machine once again came with those graceful ghostly steps like dancing steps, and then suddenly it started to accelerate like a rocket, and then a steel headbutt hit him in the chest...
Yu Sheng woke up with a cry, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already bright outside. Rebar Irene was sitting cross-legged on his chest, but it was obvious that she was not awake at all - the doll closed her eyes and shouted in her sleep: "I, the Alice doll, send me money!"
Then she fell down again with her head, rolled off Yu Sheng's stomach and onto the bed, lying on her back with her legs spread out, continuing to snore.
When Yu Sheng woke up, the scream he made didn’t wake up any of the Irenes—he looked up and saw another Irene hugging her calf, hanging there like a koala, muttering, “What a loser… who am I talking about… your whole family… hehehe…”
The third Irene was crawling in the darkness on the floor nearby. She might have fallen down while sleeping, and then tried to find a way back to bed while squirming in her sleep, but she obviously didn't find the right direction.
Yu Sheng sat up from the bed, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
...How could a puppet that was sealed in the painting sleep so passionately and crawl around the room? He shook his head, and after waking up a little, he carefully pulled his legs out of Irene's arms at the end of the bed, then turned his head to look at the painting frame on the bedside table next to him - because the bedroom was so small, there was no need to worry about exceeding the "connection distance" of the painting, so Irene always put her own painting frame on the bedside table when she slept at home - the stuffed bear in the frame was still lying quietly on the chair covered with a red velvet carpet as usual, and its two black button eyes stared blankly at the world outside the frame.
Yu Sheng reached out and tapped on the oil painting, as a way of saying hello to Irene's "real body" and the stuffed bear inside the real body, then picked up his phone and took a look, and found that the time was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
It was impossible to fall asleep at this time, so Yu Sheng simply got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As a result, just as he finished brushing his teeth, Irene in the room woke up. Three sleepy little dolls lined up to walk in and greeted him in a messy manner: "Good morning." "Morning, Yusheng." "Yawn...Did you kick me to the ground in the middle of the night?"
Yu Sheng said a few perfunctory words, then turned on the faucet, bent down, picked up an Irene and started washing her face. He dipped a few fingers in the water and rubbed the little doll a few times before putting it back on the ground. He threw a small towel over to let her wipe herself, and then picked up the second and third to continue washing them. He went through the whole process smoothly and with ease, and he hadn't finished washing the first when he finished washing the last one.
The three Irenes stood in a circle on the ground, wiping each other's faces with a towel. As they wiped, they looked up at Yu Sheng and asked, "What are your plans for today?"
Yu Sheng took out his phone and took a look at it, then shook his head. "No special arrangements. The main thing is to wait for the news from the Secret Service - to see if the deep-sea divers sent by Baili Qing can find any clues about the 'artificial saint' in the thick fog. We can't do such a large-scale dragnet search."
One of them, Irene, held up a towel, looking a little surprised: "No news yet?"
"Nonsense, it's only been a short time, and the environment is so complicated in that thick fog, the speed of action is greatly affected."
As Yu Sheng spoke, he bent down to take back the small towel and hung it on Irene's special towel hook. In fact, the little doll could also come to the master bedroom bathroom to wash up by herself. Yu Sheng specially placed a small ladder for her next to the sink, so she could climb to the sink without help. But ever since she slipped and fell into the sink to take a bath last time, she never climbed up by herself again, and usually needed help to wash her face.
Yu Sheng felt that this little thing was just being pretentious.
"I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Go check if Hu Li is awake. If not, wake her up."
The three Erins said in unison: "Got it."
As a result, when Yu Sheng and Irene went out, they saw that Hu Li was not only awake, but also seemed to have woken up very early.
The door of the fox girl's room was wide open. She was sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing the window with her back to the door, motionless, as if she was meditating or in a trance.
Upon seeing this scene, Irene murmured in surprise, "Hey! Silly fox, is this the legendary 'cultivation'? I read in the novels... breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... She is quite hardworking?"
It was also the first time that Yu Sheng saw this scene. After listening to Irene's muttering, he was also frightened and stunned. He did not dare to disturb the fox girl's "cultivation" by making a sound. However, he was really curious, so he led the three puppets to carefully approach to see what was going on. As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he saw the big ears on the fox's head tremble, and then the other party turned his head all of a sudden, with a bright smile on his face: "Benefactor! Irene! Are you awake?"
Irene was immediately startled (the one carrying the picture frame actually jumped up): "Oh my god, I thought you were breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here."
"Breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Hu Li tilted his head. "That's some kind of energy conversion technology from ancient times... Wouldn't it be inconvenient to refine a reactor and hide it inside your body?"
Irene: “…”
Seeing that the other person was not "cultivating", Yu Sheng walked over openly and asked: "So what were you doing just now?"
"I'm daydreaming, thinking about something."
Yu Sheng: “Thinking about the problem?”
Then he saw the fox girl solemnly pick up two golden and glowing things from the bed and handed them to him with a serious face: "My benefactor, the boiled and salt-baked chickens are growing more and more strange... Is this how chickens in this world grow up? Why do I feel that they are becoming less and less like the ones raised in the valley..."
Irene, who was just recovering from her silence, looked up and exclaimed, "Holy crap! What the hell is that? It's so bright!"
Yu Sheng also looked carefully at this time, and then really fixed his eyes on it - he was stunned for a full half minute.
He saw that what Hu Li was holding out were two majestic chickens with golden wings, jade crowns, long necks and long tails...ah, chickens.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In fact, they hardly look like chickens anymore, except for their two cross-eyed eyes which still look the same as before. Apart from that, these two former "little chickens" now look as if they have absorbed excessive amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and are ready to ascend to heaven at any time.
In addition, their bodies were obviously more than one size larger than their brothers and sisters in the valley. Although they could still be held steadily in Hu Li's hands, their long tails, which were already glowing with colorful light, could almost fall down to Hu Li's crossed legs. And it was visible to the naked eye that their current appearance was still not the limit of their growth. An indescribable "childishness" lingered around them. Obviously, as long as time passed, these two would continue to grow towards their current outrageous style...
"Oh my god..." Yu Sheng held his breath for a long time before finally forming a sentence, "Is this still boiled and salt-baked?!"
"It's them," Hu Li nodded, "They have been growing very fast recently, but they have become too big this time. I took them out to let them bask in the sun, but when I took them out, I saw that they were glowing. I was shocked on the spot."
What could Yu Sheng say? After all, he was also shocked...
At this time, the two "divine birds" in Hu Li's hands seemed to be bored, and suddenly they spread their wings and flapped them, then flew into the air lightly, circling around the fox girl - their wings hardly moved when circling, and they left a trail with a faint glow in the air, as if they were flying with spirits - after circling twice, they landed on Hu Li's shoulders, and continued to look at Yu Sheng with their cross-eyed eyes.
There is a kind of beauty of the Nine-Sky Mysterious Bird that has been struck by a mental retardation spell.
Hu Li was amused by the two "chickens" that suddenly flew up. Her eyes lit up with joy: "Oh, you two can fly now... Can chickens fly?"
Yu Sheng was speechless, but the corners of his mouth trembled: "..."
Does this fox still think that he is really taking care of these two chickens according to the chicken raising process? ! This species has changed!
Irene went over and tugged at Yu Sheng's trouser leg. The little doll raised its head with a confused look on its face: "Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng, what's the principle?"
"How would I know?" Yu Sheng slapped his forehead. "One thing is for sure, we can't eat these two. After all, they have become like this."
Hu Li reacted instantly after hearing this and quickly turned his head: "Oh, yes, they are so smart, it seems that we can't eat them easily... What should we do, benefactor?"
"What else can I do? I'll keep them as your nephews from now on," Yu Sheng sighed, "You'll also have two more guardians - you said at the beginning that you would keep them for great use, and now it seems that they are really useful..."
