Chapter 42 Moving into the Natsuki Family House
Nangong Nayue's residence was a luxury apartment building. When Shichen followed her home, he felt the poverty of his coffee shop as soon as he entered the door.
The room was large, with tiled walls and floors, several rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a large living room, but the human scent was a bit faint.
After all, Nangong Nayue has always lived alone.
Nangong Nayue is a high school English teacher, which is her identity among ordinary people. Her other identity is that of a national demon-hunting officer and an active-duty professional demon-hunting master who also serves as an instructor for the Special District Garrison.
Of course, among the demons, her nickname "Witch of the Gap" is more famous and can make most demons tremble with fear.
The place where Shichin is now is called Itogami Island, located in the sea, an island entirely built by humans.
The island's temperature remains above 20 degrees Celsius year-round, and its total population is approximately 560,000. Although it is called Itogami City in Tokyo, it is actually a special administrative region with an independent political system called the "Demon Special District"—used to protect the endangered demon race and study their physical structure and special abilities.
Most of the island's residents are researchers and demons, and their families are also there, creating a situation where humans and demons coexist.
Demons also have corresponding rights, but humans don't need to be afraid of them. Demons are all registered and wear wristbands with ability-limiting and alarm functions, making them easy to distinguish.
In this city where humans and demons coexist, Nangong Nayue, as an official in charge of attacking demons, naturally holds a high position, not to mention that her strength is among the best in the human world.
Moreover, she has a special identity.
It's quite normal for her to own such a large apartment.
Shi Chen glanced around the living room to get a sense of his future home before sitting down on the sofa.
"call--"
The sofa was so comfortable and soft that as soon as Shi Chen sat down, it felt like he was being swallowed up, sinking into it completely.
"You...you're really not polite." Nangong Nayue was speechless at his overly familiar manner.
"There's no need to be so polite. You definitely won't like this kind of thing," Shi Chen retorted with a smile.
"How did you know? We only met for the first time today, didn't we?"
"I'm very good at judging people."
"Fine... as long as you behave."
"I promise I'll be obedient."
"Then get up first. Pick any room you like and decorate it yourself. The storage room has everything you need. I won't help you."
"No problem, but which room is yours?" Shichen asked.
"What do you want? You don't still want to sleep in the same room as me, do you?" Nangong Nayue frowned, looking at him incredulously.
"No, no, not that fast. I just want to live next to you."
"Not so fast..." Nangong Nayue couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Did she let a wolf into her house?
Forget it, there's no need to worry. She's not a weak woman.
This guy doesn't seem like the type to use force.
"My room is that one," Nangong Nayue said, pointing to the innermost room.
"Oh, I see. I'll sleep in the room next door then."
"Whatever, just hurry up and get it done. Let me see your tea-making skills."
"OK!"
Shichen immediately got up and went to the warehouse to move things.
The room was fully furnished with furniture such as a bed and bookshelves, as well as blankets and pillows. It was very comprehensive. Shi Chen knew that Nangong Nayue was all alone, so why would she prepare these things?
Are you looking forward to having guests over?
Shi Chen was quite strong and quickly finished tidying up his room. Although the room was a bit simple, he wasn't a person with any particular requirements.
He used to be content with just a phone and a bed, but now he's even more satisfied with just a bed.
In truth, he was still an unregistered resident in this world, and without shamelessly following Nangong Nayue, traveling would be truly difficult.
He's still grateful that Nangong Nayue took him in.
Fortunately, the mission privileges granted him the abilities of a True Ancestor's Body; otherwise, he would have been unable to gain Nangong Nayue's attention.
He revealed to Nangong Nayue that he knew about the Fourth True Ancestor in order to make her pay more attention to it.
He had no value, and Nangong Nayue would never kindly take him in; he didn't believe his appearance was useful.
Stepping into this house now is half the battle won. He has no ulterior motives, so surely he can gain Nangong Nayue's trust?
Spending so much time together, it's almost inevitable that feelings will develop over time, as long as one of them isn't completely hopeless.
But is the True Ancestor's body his original power?
Shi Chen was very concerned about what she had said in his mind. He had a vague idea of it, but he also felt it was impossible.
"What are you standing there daydreaming about? Come and make me some black tea." Just then, Nangong Nayue's voice rang out.
"Oh, okay, I'm coming." Shi Chen suppressed his thoughts and walked towards the living room.
Nangong Nayue was sitting upright with her right leg crossed on her lap, expressionless, her small face serious, appearing very proud and dignified.
If she weren't wearing a black Gothic Lolita dress, if she weren't so petite.
"Use this. I want to see if you really know how to brew black tea," Nangong Nayue commanded, pointing with her fan at the black tea set on the coffee table.
She still didn't believe what Shichen had said before; he didn't look like someone who knew how to do housework.
The key point is that it also carries the aura of the true ancestor.
She didn't know where it came from, nor did she need to know, but how could someone with this kind of aura possibly need to do housework themselves?
There aren't that many people who would do something themselves out of interest or hobby.
Let's see if he's lying.
This confirmation is very important. If it is true, her attitude towards him will change; if it is not true, it will change as well.
"OK."
Shichen came to the coffee table and glanced at the packaging of the black tea. It was an unfamiliar brand, but it had the place name Kandy on it.
Whether it was good or bad was unclear, but Shi Chen was confident in his skills, and Nangong Nayue couldn't possibly have drunk anything bad.
Shichen skillfully began brewing black tea.
Nangong Nayue watched quietly from the side, nodding occasionally as she observed his skillful movements, which made her trust him even more.
Moreover, seeing Shi Chen earnestly brewing black tea, exuding a special aura, Nangong Nayue inexplicably wanted to buy him a butler's uniform.
They should go well together.
"Alright, have a taste." After brewing the black tea, Shi Chen pushed the teacup in front of Nangong Nayue and looked at her expectantly.
"Mm." Nangong Nayue nodded, picked up the teacup, smelled the rich aroma, and took a small sip.
Upon tasting the black tea, Nangong Nayue immediately felt its mellow flavor and rich aftertaste, which brought her joy both physically and mentally.
That's why she likes to drink black tea.
Nangong Nayue couldn't help but take another sip, closing her eyes to savor it.
"How is it?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"Okay, you've passed." Nangong Nayue nodded and put down her teacup.
"Phew, I'm glad you're satisfied." Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief; now he could stay here without worry.
"Where did you learn this skill? Did you practice it yourself?"
"Pretty much. You might not believe it, but I used to own a coffee shop."
"..." Nangong Nayue shook her head; she really didn't believe it.
This guy doesn't seem like someone who owns a coffee shop at all, but since he doesn't seem to be lying much, she can't completely disbelieve him.
"Can you really make me black tea every day?"
"Why not? It's a small matter. I want to drink it myself."
"Alright, as long as you behave yourself, I can keep your identity a secret."
"Don't worry, I'll be absolutely honest and law-abiding," Shi Chen assured him.
His primary task was to get along with Nangong Nayue and gain her trust; nothing else mattered.
However, he still needs to explore his true ancestral body, since he came here to gain power. If he can control and utilize this power, he will leap into becoming a strongman.
The power of the True Ancestor is undeniable, with its vast magical power and world-destroying beasts. The fact that the future Fourth True Ancestor could be bullied by anyone was purely accidental.
Therefore, he gained magic and familiars, becoming a true progenitor.
The True Ancestor's body allowed him to obtain magic power. Familiars are aggregates of magic power, so as long as he can subdue a familiar, he will possess magic power.
Or rather, whose magic will be usurped?
"Tell me your body size." At this moment, Nangong Nayue suddenly stood up and said.
"Hmm? What are you going to do, Yue-chan?"
"Don't call me... Never mind, I'll go buy you some clothes. You can't keep wearing the same thing, can you?" Nangong Nayue explained.
"You're so nice, Tsuki-chan! Why don't we go together?" Toki asked, blinking his eyes.
"There's no need for that. I can buy it myself in no time," Nangong Nayue decisively refused.
"All right......"
Shi Chen told her all his body measurements.
"By the way, I'm planning to arrange for you to become a teacher. You weren't lying when you said you knew how to teach, were you?"
