Chapter 0007: Having a sixth sense is of no use
He pushed the door open and saw Lily already sitting in the living room. The werewolf girl had changed her clothes; she was wearing a light and breezy tank top and denim shorts, exuding youthful vitality. Her slightly tanned skin paired with this outfit made her look as if she had just come from a bodybuilding competition. Upon seeing Hao Ren come out of the room, Lily immediately waved her hand cheerfully: "Good morning, landlord! Why is there no signal on the TV?"
Early the next morning, Hao Ren was awakened by a wet and prickly sensation on his face. As he opened his eyes, he saw a silly face, furry and black-and-white, staring right at him. The two golden-yellow vertical pupils conveyed a single message: breakfast
Then I suddenly remembered that there was a new tenant in my home
It seemed that nothing much happened; there was no encounter with a full moon transformation, no bloodthirsty werewolf rampaging through a family, and certainly no demon hunter leading over two hundred paladins to punish evil and conveniently settle their own affairs. Hao Ren felt that this night was as calm as if nothing had occurred: the werewolf was easy to talk to, obediently paying rent, and did not go into a frenzy after transforming. Her only characteristics were a fear of cats, a tendency to chatter, and a slight annoyance factor. Aside from that, she had no other shortcomings, and whether transformed or not, she appeared quite adorable, which seemed acceptable.
Hao Ren's last thought in this chapter was: I didn't expect her to be a beautiful girl
This seemingly unremarkable rental apartment has a surprisingly luxurious side: each room is equipped with a television, which Hao Ren impulsively purchased during the prosperous business years two years ago. However, he did not spend too much money on them due to a major sale. Nowadays, having a television in each room has become his most attractive selling point when renting out the apartments.
Oh," Lily responded, appearing somewhat regretful, but that look of regret vanished within a few seconds. Hao Ren first went to fill the cat's food bowl, and then prepared to head to the kitchen to cook. However, just as he was about to step towards the kitchen, a series of loud knocks suddenly echoed at the door.
This matter kept him tossing and turning until the early hours of the morning last night, and when he finally fell asleep, he woke up with the heaviness in his head still lingering. Unable to help himself, he scratched his head and muttered, "Could it be a dream?"
"As a werewolf, you should have a bit more ambition." Hao Ren silently glanced at Lily, feeling that with every word he exchanged with her, his sense of crisis regarding the uncertainty of the future diminished a little: this girl is just too good at relieving stress. He then looked at the LCD television in the living room, which had only been bought two or three years ago, and saw a blue screen. "Is the television malfunctioning? Can't you receive a signal in your room?"
What does it feel like to have a werewolf living in the house
Last night, he encountered only one "person" besides Lily
Lily started to babble again, and Hao Ren felt that he could no longer keep up with the topic. Damn it, how do you engage in such a conversation? Is it like discussing evolution or species issues with a canid from the snowy plains?
The unfamiliar girl at the door shielded her eyes from the sunlight, seemingly disliking the excessively bright weather. When she saw Hao Ren push the door open, the look of surprise on her face was completely unmasked, and before Hao Ren could speak, she exclaimed: "You are the one from last night... you didn't die?!"
Uncertain if it was an illusion, just a second before the knock on the door sounded, Hao Ren suddenly felt a somewhat familiar chill. However, this chill appeared only for an instant, like a mere illusion, and he believed it was due to his excessive nervousness.
Hao Ren sighed, finally accepting the fact that his life had changed from this point onward, but he knew he was not prepared at all— to be honest, unless one had been immersed in delusions for several years, who could be ready for such a situation where reality is invaded by fantasy? ... He had no idea how to interact with a werewolf next, nor did he know what would happen the following day, given the current circumstances ... . ... One step at a time, I suppose.

There is no issue with the line, and there is no problem with the television. Since you are unable to receive a signal in your room as well, it is likely that there is a problem with the signal tower. Hao Ren raised his head from behind the television and spoke as if he were quite knowledgeable; in reality, he did not understand what was happening at all. He simply felt that he could not lose face in front of a foolish werewolf who would be scared at the sight of a cat. "There are few wired connections here; basically, we still have to rely on the television tower."
"How do you speak!" Upon hearing this, Hao Ren instinctively replied, only to realize the weight of the information in the other person's words, "Last night... Oh my! Lily, transform quickly!"
Hao Ren is not the kind of person who is rendered speechless by beauty. Although he yearns for a romantic relationship, he remains quite composed. When he saw a girl of Lily's caliber joyfully bouncing in front of him yesterday, he did not lose his composure for too long. The main reason he is now in a daze is that the girl before him appears even more surprised than he is.
Lily nodded and cautiously crawled out from behind the sofa, moving on all fours like a little dog: "There is no signal in the room, I want to watch the documentary channel in the morning"
Immediately after, she saw the black and white kitten, which was lying on Hao Ren's shoulder with an expression of inspection, suddenly perform a backflip and jump behind the sofa. Trembling, it cautiously revealed half of its little head, its eyes, which had turned a light golden color, fixed intently on that cat face. After a moment of hesitation, it stammered in a tone almost akin to reverence, "Get lost... Good morning."
She is tall, measuring at least 1.7 meters, with a slender figure and long hair that reaches her waist. She is dressed in a very simple black dress and wears slightly worn sneakers, with no other adornments. However, her plain attire cannot conceal her outstanding beauty: her features are exquisite and carry a certain "nobility." Her eyes are not large, but when slightly squinted, they seem to exude an elegant charm. Her nose is small and slightly upturned, her lips are thin, and though she wears no makeup, they are a vivid red. The overall shape of her face suggests a hint of Eurasian mixed heritage, leaving the impression of a beautiful mixed-race girl. The most striking aspect is her complexion: her skin is clean and tender, almost flawless, and exceptionally fair... so fair that it seems a bit excessive, leading Hao Ren to feel that it appears somewhat pale.
Good morning, get lost. Hao Renqiang struggled to keep himself from falling asleep again, yawning several times and stretching his arms before finally waking up. He waved his hand to shoo his second-in-command to the ground and got out of bed to get dressed in a dazed state
A girl whom I do not recognize is standing outside the door
Suddenly recalling that the new tenant is an unidentified life form claiming to be a werewolf
"Do you like watching documentaries?" Hao Ren casually asked as he crouched behind the television to check for any wiring issues. Lily's voice came from behind him: "No, it's just that there's a dubbed film recently about the story of prairie wolves, and I need to keep up with the movements of my family members..."
However, he soon realized that he was not dreaming: a series of crackling footsteps came from the direction of the living room, followed by a somewhat familiar loud voice: "Landlord! Landlord, is there no signal for the TV here? Didn't the advertisement say there was a TV to watch?"
"Are you from the African savanna?" Hao Ren turned his head and asked curiously. As he thought about the other person's werewolf identity and the topic they were discussing, the subtle feeling indeed surged forth.
Knowing, knowing. Hao Ren jogged to the door, pondering who would visit such a remote place. The time did not seem to indicate it was for collecting water and electricity fees. As the door opened, he instinctively spoke, "Hey, are you looking for ... ... ?!"
Lily frowned and sniffled, but found nothing. She pointed towards the door and said, "Landlord, there are guests!"
Moreover, he can now be completely certain that the momentary chill he felt before opening the door was not an illusion; it was his extraordinary sixth sense that he had cultivated since childhood. However, it has been proven that having a sixth sense alone is of no use without vigilance—he had already opened the door, and he was less than two meters away from the assailant from last night
Lily shook her head and said, "No, I don't know where I came from either, maybe near the snowy plains. My memories before the 'awakening' are quite vague, and I can't recall them at all. However, I believe that all wolf clans are one family—just as you humans are divided into so many races yet are still collectively referred to as Earthlings. I think the main reason we 'others' have been pushed down to the lower tiers of the Earth circle is our lack of unity..."
