My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 568 - 366: Howard’s Unfortunate Otherworldly Adventure (Part 3)

Watching Howard, who had just been resurrected and was already preparing to seek a tavern encounter, the Old Demon Emperor appeared beside Xue Dili and said, "This kid seems to be quite a lecher."

"Actually, he doesn’t count as a lecher, okay, it’s normal for Americans. Rather than being lecherous, Howard seems to want a family of his own. For some reason, he has a strange obsession and persistence with family. You know what his wish was after he saved the world with us in the Otherworld?" Xue Dili said to the Old Demon Emperor with a smile.

"What was it?"

"He said he wanted to find a gentle wife." Xue Dili chuckled.

Old Demon Emperor: "..."

He couldn’t laugh, not knowing why, but the girls in this world are a bit...

Crazy?

Even Bai Ya and Siam, who returned from studying in the Otherworld, started saying "Gua, Ye, Ya" after being home for two days.

Though he and Xue Dili co-created this new world, the Old Demon Emperor still felt it was a bit too whacky.

Just hope Howard meets someone a bit more normal.

Actually, it’s a difference in culture; Howard, being a Greek descent American, his true wish is to genuinely have his own family, a group of happily bonded relatives, and to be truly happy within this family.

Especially Howard, both his original and the family he formed with his ex-wife weren’t ideal, the more he lacks something, the more he yearns for it.

This immense reliance on family and kinship, a kind of family hero thinking, is something Xue Dili can’t quite comprehend.

Yet Xue Dili chose to respect it, possibly Howard lacks not the family but maternal love, let him find a wife to call mom every day, that’ll do.

"Alright, I’m done with my business, I’ve also brought you a dog-headed strategist you wanted." Xue Dili prepared to clap his hands and leave this world.

"Not staying for a meal? Bai Ya and Siam have been talking nonstop about life at your place since they came back." The Old Demon Emperor said.

"No, it’s better not to tell those two youths I was here, after all, their hometown is here, not Earth. Let them come back to hand in their papers after truly fulfilling their dreams." Xue Dili smiled, waved goodbye.

In the next moment, Xue Dili cut open a Teleportation Gate of the Cross Star, leaving this world.

...

Meanwhile, Howard excitedly prepared to go out and searched for his other half.

Along the way, Howard started observing this new world, true to what Xue Dili said, all filled with beautiful beast-eared maidens.

Even those wearing helmets working on construction sites showed off natural beauty from beneath their work clothes.

Indeed, good brothers never deceive me!

This is the world I wanted, this is the place I’ve longed for!

But why do these lovely beast-eared maidens love shouting?

"Power, I command you to come forth!"

"Ye! You dog breed danger, watch me fiercely beat you!"

"Evil-born insect, you dare to devour our food? Come! Come! Come! You’ll die under my invincible pesticide!"

"Your purity isn’t enough yet!"

...

The bizarre shouts rang in his ears, Howard slowly scratched out a question mark.

Is this right?

He looked at the tavern entrance, where a very pretty cat girl smiled at him.

Yes, yes, yes!

Those bizarre shouts must be a cultural tradition of this Otherworld, I’ll gradually get used to it.

He directly walked into the tavern, and in an instant, was dazzled by the diverse array of beast-eared maidens.

There were dragon girls with wings, snake girls with legs replaced by snake tails, and countless other beautiful maidens he’d never seen before.

He felt like he was living in Heaven, and after sneakily observing everyone, he ultimately spotted a tiger girl quietly sitting at the bar, drinking her liquor...

Howard’s gaze froze at her instantly, the woman seemed not young, her face full of the marks of life. She sat there alone, her fingertip gently tapping on the glass rim, with silver-grey fur tinged with some dust color, her tiger-like ear tips occasionally trembled at the distant sound of music.

She took a sip of her drink, letting out a barely audible sigh, her neckline slightly open, revealing a sliver of collarbone, with the faint traces of an old scar, her tail unconsciously curled by the chair leg, dusty gray fur slightly ruffled, the tip occasionally brushing the ground, as if restless.

Don’t know why, this woman who seemed to have a story instantly captivated his gaze.

He quietly approached the woman, silently ordered a drink, then said with some restraint, "Hello..."

The half-drunk woman beside him merely cast him a glance, said nothing more, just drank again, her ear tips with the signs of life slightly trembling.

Howard just stared at her blankly, not knowing why, it was as though he was completely captivated.

"Do you want to sleep with me?" The woman suddenly spoke, jolting Howard alert.

"No... not really... I just, have a good feeling towards ladies, yes, that’s it, want to get to know the lady..." Howard suddenly felt a bit flustered.

For some reason, seeing this aged woman, he suddenly wished to give her a home, give her warmth, then rely on each other, grow old together. To make this woman, like his mother, part of his family.

"After all, you still just want to sleep with me." The woman gulped down her drink, speaking as if thoroughly drunk, "Let’s go together."

Howard: "???"

What kind of situation, how come just like that, he was planning to first mingle a bit here, exchange contacts then gradually cultivate feelings, how come they leave together suddenly?

"Go train, beat me, then we sleep together! Only someone who defeats me can qualify to be my man!" However, in an instant, the woman’s aura surged, a moment later, a tyrannosaurus phantom emerged from behind, opening its blood-thirsty maw.

Howard: "?"

No way!

No, no, no!

Then, just when he was still dumbfounded, that woman who seemed aged and fragile suddenly caught his collar, lifted him entirely, and dragged him out of the tavern.

Howard suddenly turned dumbfounded, while the surrounding people started to burst into enthusiastic boos and cheers.

"Big sister-in-charge beats this little puppy to submission, big sister-in-charge unbeatable ye!"

"Hahaha, which clueless brat came to bother big sister-in-charge this time? By the way, big sister-in-charge, you’re really popular among the brats."

"Crash his balls, big sister-in-charge! I want to see blood flow like rivers!"

A stream of jeering voices made Howard’s hair stand on end, fearfully watching the woman who could hold him like a chick with one hand, he felt the person now and the aged yet fragile woman before weren’t the same at all.

What’s happening? This isn’t correct, this world isn’t right!

"Kid, I grant you the chance to pursue me, but on the premise..." The woman tossed Howard onto the ground with a grin on her lips as if she were a tiger choosing to devour its prey, "Defeat me! Or satisfy me, show me your purity! Rampage dragon, come forth! Ye!"

Behind the woman, a terrifying tyrannosaurus emerged on her shoulders, roaring fiercely.

"Defeat me, and I’ll be your woman, be a dedicated wife and mother, otherwise I’ll make you kneel! Ye!"

Looking at the soaring mother dragon, and the woman who seemed bloodthirsty with excitement now, completely inconsistent with her earlier fragile demeanor...

Howard silently scratched out a question mark?

I’m fighting a mother dragon?

Will I win?

Isn’t there something hugely wrong with this world?

"Ah oh oh howling, oh howling howling ah!" Under the moonlight, someone newly arrived in this world let out a rhythmic shrill cry.
