The next morning, Xu Nuo opened his sleepy eyes to the sound of the alarm, turned off the alarm silently, got out of bed, washed and got dressed.
Next door, Lang Heng and Lang Xi's mornings weren't so peaceful. Lang Xi was used to sleeping in his original form, and since the little wolf cub didn't take up much space, Lang Heng had no problem with that. But who knew that the little cub would have some sweet dream in the middle of the night, opening its mouth to bite Lang Heng. Lang Heng stayed awake all night, busy channeling his inner energy to heal his wounds, and constantly having to throw the whimpering, biting wolf cub back into its den. His handsome face was clouded with gloom, ready to explode at any moment.
At dawn, Lang Heng stood up and headed for the restroom. Yesterday's humanoid form honestly reflected his physical condition—exhausted and aching. It was truly unseemly and a detriment to his reputation. So, in the restroom, Lang Heng performed a body cleansing spell and cast a spell to change into clothes that suited modern human aesthetics. Looking at the handsome figure in the mirror, Lang Heng nodded with satisfaction and walked out.
Lang Xi had already woken up and was getting up, shaking off his fur. All the soft hair that fell from the little cub landed on the originally clean bed without a single drop falling. Lang Heng felt his eyebrows twitch, and his relaxed mood collapsed again.
"Langxi, get back to the mountains right now."
Lang Xi drooped his ears and was thrown into the newly-set teleportation barrier by his ancestor without any ability to fight back. Before leaving, Lang Xi still asked him unwillingly.
"Old Ancestor, aren't you going back to your clan to recuperate?"
"Don't worry about the kid. We don't know if the thunder tribulation will come again."
Lang Xi knew he was telling lies. The ancestor had already survived the thunder tribulation and successfully ascended to a higher rank. How could he possibly come back? He clearly just wanted to play with his handsome brother in the human world. However, Lang Xi didn't dare to say anything. Feeling wronged, he was thrown into the teleportation barrier and disappeared.
After checking his appearance again, Lang Heng walked out of the room and met Xu Nuo who had just packed up and was about to go to work.
Xu Nuo nodded calmly at him and was about to leave. Lang Heng couldn't help but doubt his human form for the first time. Little did he know that Xu Nuo, who looked calm, was screaming loudly with 666 in his heart at this moment.
"66! Did you see that? My husband in this world is so handsome too! Thanks to this world for influencing my personality, otherwise I would have pounced on him right now."
Lang Heng had no idea what was going on in his mind, and his mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy. He wondered if he was no longer able to keep up with the young people's aesthetic tastes. As he frowned, he unconsciously followed Xu Nuo's pace.
Xu Nuo turned around and said, "Mr. Lang, I have to go to work."
Lang Heng's mouth was more honest than his brain, and he blurted out first: "Can I go with you?"
Xu Nuo still had that dazed look on his face, but Lang Heng was filled with anger, looking like he wanted to slap himself.
"Sure...but you have to buy a ticket."
Lang Heng immediately put on a polite smile and said, "Thank you for your help."
Xu Nuo nodded, but sighed inwardly, "This generation of husbands is so hard to manage."
When they arrived at the capybara area of the zoo, Xu Nuo was about to pick up a broom to sweep up the fallen leaves, but Lang Heng took it over and said, "You go do something else, I'll do it."
Lang Heng casually made a gesture, and the park instantly looked brand new, as if it had just been built.
"Oh no, I don't think I can control the speed well."
Before he could recover, Xu Nuo emerged from a small hut nearby. Seeing the surrounding area, which had instantly become spotless, and Lang Heng, still nervously holding a broom, Xu Nuo found it somewhat amusing, but still thanked him politely, "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for the cleanup."
Lang Heng glanced at Xu Nuo, who seemed to be showing no emotion, and then sat back down on the large rock where he had sat yesterday, feeding the two capybaras with fodder. The two strange-looking animals, with even stranger personalities, ate the grass leisurely, and even when the grass ran out, they didn't even go to the feed basket to continue eating, looking indifferent and dull.
Lang Heng's gaze shifted back to Xu Nuo. The handsome young man, having finished his work, pulled his breakfast from his pocket: a wrapped rice ball. He unwrapped it slowly, taking small bites. Soon, the small rice ball disappeared from his rapidly opening and closing mouth. Xu Nuo discarded the wrapper and returned to his seat, staring at the two capybaras.
Xu Nuo felt relaxed and contented, "How cute... Kapi Bala."
Little did he know that Lang Heng's heart was filled with turmoil, "He is definitely a capybara spirit!"
Although no demonic aura was detected and his appearance didn't match, the young man's behavior was undeniably similar to that of a capybara, not to mention his undisguised fondness for the two capybaras. Lang Heng believed that it was impossible for him to develop a fondness for such a bizarre creature if it weren't for kinship. As for the demonic aura, it was likely Xu Nuo's advanced cultivation, making it difficult to discern. His appearance was also easier to explain. A great demon's humanoid form was more human-like and possessed exceptional appearance, so it was understandable that his true form couldn't be discerned.
Thinking of this, Lang Heng had already made up his mind. The expression on his face became more and more solemn. The originally cute young man in front of him seemed to have grown a face of a capybara.
Xu Nuo watched his lover's expression change, his expression changing from moment to moment, which was very interesting. He wondered what he was thinking. Then he saw Lang Heng stand up seriously, looking at him with complicated eyes, "Mr. Xu, I have something to do, so I'll go back first."
Xu Nuo nodded and began to touch the two capybaras on his own.
There was a click, the heartbreaking sound of Lang Heng who had already left.
