Chapter 0006 Please, are you just a werewolf?

In any case, Hao Ren confirmed that he could not defeat this werewolf.

He enjoys reading novels, watching television, and indulging in various bizarre and fantastical stories. This is a lifestyle that almost every young person who is unemployed, unmarried, and living alone without worries about food inevitably experiences. Although he is not overly dramatic and does not find his mundane days unbearable, his first reaction to a sudden pop-up dialogue box on his computer saying "yes" or "ok" would certainly be to unplug it. However, this does not prevent him from feeling a sense of eagerness when faced with certain "new stimuli." This is a manifestation of the most common human curiosity. While some people may hesitate when their curiosity is satisfied, others...

Meow? The black and white cat curiously tilted its head to glance at the unexpected guest in the house. In its lifetime, the cat only made Lily shiver twice, but then it elegantly ignored Lily, as any cat should.

Lily's silver hair and wolf ears gradually receded as her emotions calmed down (to be honest, Hao Ren felt somewhat regretful about this), and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Why would it have such a strange name?!"

"What is unsafe?" Hao Ren casually picked up the black and white cat, "I have never seen such an easy-to-raise cat, right, Roll?"

This cat came to my house last year. Hao Ren chuckled and began to introduce the background of his cat, saying, "I don't even know what breed it is. This place is desolate and remote, with wild cats and dogs rampant. It's not unusual for one or two to sneak into people's homes when they are not paying attention, but this cat came and just wouldn't leave. I tried to chase it away several times, but it was of no use..."

Understood, landlord

The werewolf was energetically running up and down the stairs, familiarizing herself with her new home in a manner that was almost impudently familiar. At each location, she would sniff vigorously as if trying to memorize the scents. Although she was currently in human form, Hao Ren couldn't help but imagine her with a pair of pointed ears and a tail that swished back and forth. Normally, if a tenant were to behave so familiarly and run around, he would say something, but now he didn't want to say a word: it was normal for a wolf to establish its territory upon arriving in a new place. He just hoped that this werewolf's territorial instincts could align with human common sense, as long as she always remembered that this was someone else's home and that she was merely a tenant. Considering the personality that Lily had currently displayed, this shouldn't be difficult.

By the time dinner was finished, it was already past 9 o'clock. The time for the "roll" activity had arrived, and the black-and-white kitten energetically ran upstairs to patrol its territory. Hao Ren, on the other hand, tossed the dishes into the kitchen sink to soak, planning to wash them tomorrow. He then lit a cigarette and sat in the living room, lost in thought—continuing to sort through the experiences of the day while marveling at his own strong capacity for acceptance.

Lily suddenly darted behind the sofa, having already transformed into her werewolf form.

"... Forget it, I will go back to my room to sleep first, you can do as you please. Just don't go barging into those locked rooms, the rest is up to you." Hao Ren sighed, got up, and returned to his room. Lily also turned to leave, but halfway through, she brought up a new topic: "By the way, landlord, you won't come to raid me at night, will you? It seems like there are only the two of us in this house. This is the first time I've rented a place from a single male landlord..."

She was crouching behind the sofa, cautiously peeking out with half her head, her silver long hair cascading down to the floor. Her pair of fluffy silver-white ears twitched keenly, clearly ready for battle at any moment. Hao Ren noticed that this mysterious creature had half a noodle and some vegetables in her mouth, which severely undermined her somewhat "dignified" appearance. Even more damaging to her dignity was Lily's subsequent action: trembling, she pointed her chopsticks at the black-and-white cat at Hao Ren's feet, her voice nearly breaking into tears: "Cat... Cat!"

Once he calmed down again, Hao Ren could not help but ponder this question. However, in the end, he still felt that his choice was correct. To be honest, he was quite looking forward to what would happen next

Isn't this the same! Hao Ren felt that not only were his values insufficient, but even his brain was inadequate. He even disregarded the fact that the other party was a werewolf, and a werewolf he had just met, and in a fit of anger pointed at Lily, "Please! You are a werewolf, okay!"

This is a very self-destructive mindset. A normal person should learn to seek benefits and avoid harm, rather than recklessly engaging with a mysterious new world that could potentially cost them their life out of sheer curiosity. However, Hao Ren has already endured this mundane and unremarkable life for long enough

So you named it 'Roll', hoping it would roll away soon? Lily asked with wide eyes

Hao Ren nearly fell to the ground, then turned his head to glare angrily at the annoyingly persistent werewolf: "For the sake of my own safety, I will absolutely not launch a night raid against you, so you can rest assured!"

It will probably elicit a reaction similar to that of Hao Ren

Oh, not only is he easy to talk to, but he is also a werewolf who obediently pays the rent—where in which book has such a good thing ever happened

The black-and-white cat seemed to truly understand human speech, as it raised its head and gave a subtle nod to Lily, who was nearby and appeared wary, indicating its acknowledgment, before continuing to lower its head to eat.

"Get lost." Hao Ren lowered his head to glance at his only current "family member," "Its name is 'Gun,' with the three dots of water in 'Gun.'"

The black-and-white cat immediately let out a soft meow, appearing extremely submissive. Upon seeing this, Hao Ren was overjoyed, stood up, and went to fetch the food bowl for the cat, filling it up and placing it on the floor beside the table: this was the designated dining spot for the cat. At the same time, Hao Ren pointed at Lily to introduce her to his pet: "Her name is Liu Lili, and she is a werewolf... um, that probably doesn't mean much to you, but just know that she is our new guest. From now on, your food will directly depend on how much rent she can pay. Be respectful to your benefactor, understand?"

No, it likes to suddenly jump onto the bed while I am watching television. Every time, I shout 'Get lost' to drive it away. At first, it was quite effective, but over time, when I shout 'Get lost', it instead comes over with extra energy to nuzzle me—this cat thinks its name is 'Get lost'. And then it really does respond to 'Get lost'.

Hao Ren stared in astonishment at all of this, his mind whirring as he finally realized what was happening. He looked incredulously at Lily, who appeared to be facing a great threat: "You... are afraid of cats?"

"I am a werewolf!" Lily seemed to finally realize that her current reaction was somewhat embarrassing, and it might have been Hao Ren's gaze and words that provoked this werewolf girl. In any case, she mustered her courage to sneak out from behind the sofa, then pretended to return to the dining table, but in reality, she tiptoed along the base of the living room wall, making a large circle to the other end of the living room. "Are you sure this cat is safe?"

Lily opened her eyes wide after listening, then lowered her head and silently ate her meal. After a moment, she murmured, "It feels like I've arrived at a very strange place"

"You can skip the meal expenses." Hao Ren noticed that Lily frowned when she caught a whiff of smoke (a keen nose indeed), so he instinctively extinguished the cigarette, "It doesn't make much difference if there's one more person. Also, please stop calling me landlord all the time; I have a name. You can just call me Hao Ren."

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, he must remain vigilant against that strange and dangerous giant bat. Although he does not understand why he has become the target of such a bizarre creature, the situation has become a reality that he must confront. Hao Ren is not someone who shies away from reality; he actively seeks ways to enhance his safety. For instance, he keeps the werewolf, who appears to possess formidable combat abilities and seems quite approachable, by his side.

I... I am not afraid of cats!" Lily stubbornly lifted her head, resembling a proud fighting dog, "I am just feeling apprehensive.

Call me Hao Ren

Is it right or wrong to invite a visibly non-human, highly combat-capable creature into one's home?

Hao Ren rolled his eyes at the sky: Is there anything weirder in this house than you? A werewolf lady who completely subverts common sense!

Good landlord

By the way, landlord, here is the rent! Lily dashed up and down several times (in between, she had two encounters with "Get lost," both of which ended in screams), and finally remembered her current identity. With a lively and cheerful spirit, she returned to her room to get her wallet, counted out the rent, and handed it to Hao Ren, saying, "As you wrote in the advertisement, I need to pay three months' rent in advance, right? Also, how much is the meal fee?"

Lily seemed to have just confirmed the harmlessness of the black-and-white cat. She cautiously returned to the dining table but still held her noodles, moving to a spot that was the farthest from the cat for safety. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked: "What did you just call this cat?"
