In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 54: The Habitat of the Creek Nymphs

"Fuck! That fucking hurts!" Kara slammed her hand on the steering wheel, and the horn emitted a strange noise, like a duck being choked.

Li Xiao wasn't surprised at all. It was already a miracle that the horn of this old car could still work, considering that the water tank had burst just half an hour ago, and he had to use plastic tape to fix it so that it could barely move.

Today they went to Kirkland, located on the east shore of Lake Washington. Coconut trees flashed past the window, and two people were paddling famous surfboards on the lake not far away. Looking across the lake, they could see Gates' enormous luxury estate, and many other private estates hidden among tall trees. That was Seattle's true upper-class affluent area, incomparable to Kirkland.

"Kid, what did you feed the dog? Why is the breed different?" Kara poured out a painkiller, put it in her mouth, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Leftovers," Li Xiao turned his head away. "That's basically how we feed our dogs at home."

"Heh, I didn't realize you had such a talent for raising dogs." Kara bit into the plastic bag of bread, easily tearing it open with her pearly white teeth. "This one's more spirited than any rich person's carefully raised dog. With this skill, you could be a professional dog walker for the rich. Shit, you damn dog, don't steal my bread."

Little Kr contentedly swallowed the bread, while Kara roared and slapped the dog on the head, but the touch felt like hitting cast iron, making her gasp in pain.

Little K, bewildered, shook its ears and rubbed its head against Kara's palm, leaving Kara speechless.

"It would be great if you could make money just by walking the dog, but unfortunately I can't get any," Li Xiao chimed in. Of course, it was impossible to cultivate a small amount of money like this.

The car turned a corner and entered a commercial district. Coffee shops, art galleries, and other shops lined both sides of the road. Seven or eight burly black men wearing masks rushed out of a gold shop, carrying bundles of gold necklaces and fleeing in all directions.

"The security here doesn't seem very good," Li Xiao remarked as he witnessed the free shopping event.

"We're not there yet. This is just the outskirts; the residential area is definitely safe." Kara slammed on the brakes. "These idiots who don't look at traffic lights will all be killed if they run into a drug-addicted motorcyclist one day."

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, but Li Xiao remained firmly against the back of the chair, not propelled forward by the reaction force. His current physical condition was more than capable of overcoming the obstacle.

Through the windshield, a black-and-white couple could be seen swaggering past the car. Kara rolled down the window and cursed angrily, while the other woman gave her the middle finger in return.

"That bitch who hooks up with an African gorilla," Kara started the car again. "She'll get AIDS sooner or later."

Li Xiao covered the brim of his hat but did not reply.

As the car drove further in, the surrounding houses became increasingly sparse, and groves of pine and maple trees began to appear on both sides. Occasionally, people walking their dogs or jogging would pass by on the tactile paving.

After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a row of wooden fences. The white-painted bollards extended into the woods on both sides, separating the inside from the outside. A security guard emerged from a burgundy wooden guard post next to it. He was in his forties and had a typical white man with a hooked nose.

"Hey! Parking is not allowed here, move your car now!" The security guard tapped on the car window with a rubber baton, his tone somewhat impatient.

"The property owner here sent us," Kara stepped forward to communicate. "This is her business card."

"No, no, ma'am, that won't do." The security guard glanced at the business card and softened his tone. "Your car is really an eyesore. My suggestion is to scrap it as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you get Mrs. Pera's approval, my boss will still cause me trouble."

Li Xiao realized that this guy just wanted some benefits, but Lady Pera was Little K's owner.

"How about this?" Kara reluctantly took out a banknote. "I'll leave in half an hour, I won't stay any longer."

It was a $10 note, and it's rare to see Kara pay for something like that.

The security guards pretended to hesitate for a moment before accepting the money and nodding.

With a humming sound from the motor, the fence slowly opened to both sides.

"Damn watchdog," Kara said, getting into the car and slamming the door. "A bunch of money-grubbing bastards, and this guy's the most troublesome."

Kara stomped down hard, and the pickup truck sped away, belching out a large plume of black smoke.

"He's quite vengeful," Li Xiao thought to himself with a smile, then turned his gaze to the window.

The roads here are mostly sloping, and each villa has a different style, including Gothic three-story spire structures and European-style round domed houses. Every household's lawn is neatly trimmed, and some even have large red dogwoods and red maple trees planted in front of their yards. There is not a single fallen leaf on the ground.

The surrounding roads were filled with vehicles such as Audi Q7s, Mercedes-Benzes, and Chryslers. The parking spaces on the ground were clean, and the asphalt roads were uniform in appearance, showing that they had been carefully maintained.

"This is the ceiling for the middle class. Each house is worth $500 million. It would be so cool to live here," Kara exclaimed, her eyes filled with longing for the mansion.

"That day will come, as long as you go out more at night to save the world," Li Xiao thought to himself.

"We're here," Kara said, parking the car under a shady tree. "I need to cover it with a car cover, otherwise some idiot will come and bother us. This place is extremely xenophobic."

Little K jumped off the car with a whoosh, looked at the familiar buildings around him, and ran towards the yellow courtyard on the left.

"This silly dog ​​even knows how to recognize its home. Let's go, hurry up and finish this, we still have to go to the amusement park to do some work later." Kara wiped the sweat from her forehead, and with her other hand, she gently unbuttoned her shirt, revealing a hint of her ample figure through the black fabric.

Li Xiao followed the direction Xiao Ke was heading when a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Child of Krypton, you have arrived near the territory of the Ridge Nymph]

As a branch goddess of the spring, she seems to dislike others entering her habitat.

There are currently no missions scheduled to depart.

Nymphs? If I remember correctly, they are a race of elves in Greek mythology, encompassing various regions such as mountains, springs, and the sea. Legend has it that one of Zeus's wives was a sea nymph.

Li Xiao did not slow down his pace, and soon a courtyard appeared in front of him.

Through the door, you can see that the lawn in the yard is perfectly manicured, like a matcha leaf, with a hanging chair in the middle. Next to the lawn is a rose garden, and a faint fragrance wafts in the air.

The entire house is painted in sunset yellow, giving it a warm and inviting atmosphere; it's a very exquisite residence.

Little K was prying at the iron gate, seemingly wanting to go inside.

"Shit, looks like the owner hasn't come back yet," Carla said, craning his neck to peer inside. "My luck's a bit off today. Hopefully, it won't delay my money-making time."

Li Xiao looked around the courtyard. The mailbox was full of letters, and even the rose petals on the lawn were scattered and unattended, indicating that he had not gone home.
