Although her origins seemed somewhat strange, Muyun's physical prowess as a "werewolf" was indeed not mere speculation. Even when forced back to her human form by the potent fumes of the transformative incense, her spirit remained undaunted. She had just transformed back into her human form and was already questioning Lin Feng and Vivian about the details of her transformation, with one basic thought in mind: "I'm pretty awesome, aren't I?"
To be honest, from a perspective that shatters all preconceptions... she was indeed quite impressive.
Vivian, of course, took the opportunity to pour cold water on Muyun's excitement: "Don't get too excited just yet. Go back and think about how to solve the problem of ruining your clothes every time you transform - I'm not your nanny, following you around all day with a fresh set of clothes."
Only then did Muyun quiet down a bit. She looked down at the new clothes Vivian had just changed her into and felt a rare sense of gratitude towards the vampire she had always found disagreeable. So, the werewolf girl, in a rare moment, thanked Vivian: "Thank you just now. I didn't expect this... but how do you usually solve the clothes problem? It feels quite magical! You often transform into a large group of bats in an instant..."
"I use magic," Vivian shrugged, quite indifferent to it all. "For me, it's a simple little trick, but it might be challenging for you. A werewolf's mind isn't suited for such high-tech techniques. But then again, there aren't many who use magic to solve this problem. Other high-ranking bloodsuckers simply use enchanted fabric for clothes, which, after being charged, can seamlessly merge with any form, never getting damaged. As far as I know, I'm the only one who has figured out the technique of transforming without damaging the fabric... well, I am quite a genius."
Lin Feng looked at Vivian strangely, "Are you just too idle? Why study this?"
Vivian's expression was very serious, "Because I'm poor."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment before realizing that Vivian meant she couldn't afford those enchanted clothes for ordinary vampires...
So poor that she couldn't even afford her own clan's attire, forcing her to delve into esoteric tricks to save money, this vampire, who was actually a husky at heart but had mistakenly believed herself to be a werewolf for decades, was really quite similar to Muyun. What else could these two usually have to disdain each other for?
Lin Feng waved to Muyun, "Muyun, there's something I have to tell you... I hope you're prepared."
Muyun immediately bounced over happily, "Tell me, tell me, I have a good mental fortitude! Is the rent going up next month?"
Such a good girl, and she still hadn't realized she was the only tenant who paid rent monthly. She was even actively concerned about the rent issue. It's really hard to find such honest girls these days. Looking at Muyun's innocent and brisk smile, Lin Feng felt speechless, but he still gritted his teeth, "Muyun, do you know about huskies?"
"I know, huskies, right?" Muyun smiled ambiguously, "A very silly and playful dog, but quite fun. Landlord, you want to keep one? No problem, I'll help you check and make sure to find you a well-behaved one..."
Lin Feng slapped himself on the forehead, "Damn, I can't go on."
Vivian's expression was even more helpless than Lin Feng's. She sighed, looked up at the sinking moon, and casually tossed the large travel bag at Isaac, "If we can't continue, let's go back and talk later. We've spent enough time outside."
Muyun looked at Vivian and Lin Feng in confusion, unable to figure out what was going on with these two, but she quickly stopped caring about that and instead cheerfully ran around helping to pack up: after all, a husky.
Lin Feng looked around at the mess and couldn't help but feel concerned, "What about here? It looks like a bombing site, and there's a crater over a hundred meters in radius. It might cause trouble if we don't clean up."
Isaac knew it was time for him to act. He spat sparks from his mouth and shouted, "You guys back off, back off..."
Lin Feng slapped Isaac's back (and his hand was numb from the shock), "Can't you stop using Meteor Escape every time?"
"Forget it, just leave it as it is," Vivian interjected from the side, "It's just some big pits, nothing supernatural left behind. No matter how humans investigate, at most it will make the local guys who steal dirt pay a fine again. Let's go, I don't want to stay here for another moment, the incense has made me dizzy... seems like the dose was a bit too strong."
And so, the inexplicable "Muyun's Super Evolution" event came to a somewhat satisfactory conclusion. The four of them carried their bags and left the desolate land, leaving only the pungent incense that was likely to dissipate by morning and the ravines and pits all over the ground. These would surely become the talk of the elderly teams in the southern suburbs for the next few days, but that had nothing to do with Lin Feng anymore.
As the full moon gradually sank and the starlight became sparse, the wilderness returned to silence, seemingly settled - until a black smoke suddenly drifted from somewhere, gathering into an abnormally tall figure at the edge of the crater created by Muyun's transformation.
This tall and robust figure seemed to be constantly shrouded in a black shadow, making his facial features appear blurry, and only his stature indicated that he was a quite strong male. Standing beside the crater with a radius of a hundred meters, he lightly sniffed the air, distinguishing certain scents in the air. Then, he spat, "Tsk, amateurs. They even used the wrong incense for the ritual."
With these words, another black mist drifted from nowhere, coalescing into a slightly smaller figure. This was a man whose face was also hidden in shadow. He bent down and picked up an unburned piece of incense from the ground, broke off a small piece, and threw it directly into his mouth, "The formula is correct, but this is not for use in the adult ceremony. The younger generation nowadays is really disappointing. By the way, can we confirm which family's descendants this is?"
"Who cares about family these days," the tall man sneered, "Don't learn from those old fogies. Nowadays, the world is getting harder and harder. Those who can survive are not simple. Not to mention the newly adulted juniors, no matter which family they are from, they have to find a way to get in touch. From what I see at the scene of this ceremony... the arrangement is chaotic and irregular. The one undergoing the adult ceremony here is probably an orphan. If there was a 'parent' directing them, they wouldn't have used the incense incorrectly."
The shorter man spat out the incense residue in his mouth and waved his hand to leave, "You analyze first, I'm going to vomit
."
The tall man waited for his companion to finish vomiting before pointing in the direction of the town, "The residual incense smell here is too strong, so we can only roughly judge that they went in that direction. Tomorrow, let's split up and search."
"Why not search now? They might not have gone far..."
"I heard that there have been one or two demon hunters active in this area recently. It's almost certain they were attracted by that half-hearted junior. It's too easy to be tracked at night. Remember, we must behave like humans, only then can we survive in the long run."
"Demon hunters..." The shorter man sighed softly, looking up at the moon, which was about to set, and then turned into a black mist that dissipated into the air.
"Demon hunters..." With a sigh, another black mist also gradually dissipated.
Back at home, Lin Feng and the others were unaware of what had happened in the wilderness. Now, they were facing another troublesome problem.
Muyun sat on the sofa in the living room, looking hopeless, and confirmed with the three people around her again, "Did you really see it clearly... it's a husky?"
