The male White Fox sat on a rock, lost in thought for a long time.

’That lecher was so useless.’

’To capture the female master’s heart, I can’t just rely on Xuan Jin.’

...

Xuan Jin had already thought of the very same thing Hu Bai was contemplating.

He had been pacing outside the cave all night.

He had originally thought the little female didn’t like his type, or Hu Bai’s type, or Lanxing’s type, or Chi Xiao’s type.

But that she liked the twins’ type.

Yet a whole night passed, and nothing happened.

Xuan Jin’s mood grew darker and darker, and he even began to childishly take his frustration out on the rocks around him.

It wasn’t the fact that she had seven Beast Husbands that bothered him most. It was the feeling that she could walk away at any time. That’s what truly vexed him.

He had no idea that for a brief moment, he had been the last hope for the entire family in Hu Bai’s mind, only for that hope to be swiftly discarded.

A Seven-striped Beast King’s body has powerful detoxification and toxin-purging abilities. When Nan Zishi woke up, Wolf Night’s condition was already much better than the day before. He could even stand up and gently move his legs.

Wolf Night blushed the moment he saw Nan Zishi.

Five years ago, when Nan Zishi’s face was still covered in pockmarks and pimples, he had liked her even then.

’Now... my female master... how did she get so beautiful!’

Wolf Night’s heart started to POUND. His ears perked up involuntarily, and his large tail gave a little wag behind him.

"Female master, are you hungry? My brother went to get water and food!"

Nan Zishi smiled and replied, "Mm. Okay."

’She smiled! She smiled at me!’

Wolf Night’s heart beat even faster. His face turned completely red, and, as if overstimulated, he froze on the spot.

Early that morning, Xuan Jin was already pestering Lu Ming off to the side. "You little guy, are you hiding some other secrets?"

’This kid is unusual. He can talk to the Holy Beast White Deer! And the Holy Deer actually listens to him!’

’That’s the Holy Deer! The Beast God’s own Holy Deer!’

According to legend, the Beast God had two Holy Deer, a grandparent and grandchild. The younger one was given to the High Priest at a very young age to assist him in managing the affairs of the Beast World.

’That Holy Deer has only ever listened to the High Priest since it was young.’

’So how could it also listen to this little guy?!’

Lu Ming ran toward Nan Zishi. "Save me!!"

Nan Zishi successfully rescued Lu Ming from Xuan Jin’s clutches.

Lu Ming stuck his tongue out at Xuan Jin.

Now at the bottom of the family’s pecking order, Xuan Jin didn’t dare make too much of a fuss. He just stood quietly to the side with his arms crossed.

Wolf Day brought back water and food, and after roasting the meat, Xuan Jin gave it to Nan Zishi to eat.

As Nan Zishi sat by the fire and looked at the roasted meat, she felt a wave of nausea.

But when Xuan Jin handed her the roasted meat, she took it and started eating anyway.

While eating, she thought of Hu Bai...

’Hu Bai is so much better. He knows how to make all kinds of delicious food.’

Wolf Day said respectfully, "Female master, Wolf Night and I have discussed it. The two of us can share the identity of Lang Ce and stay in the mining area."

"Share the identity of Lang Ce?" Nan Zishi was surprised. "How would you share it?"

"Wolf Night and I have very similar builds and appearances. After we eat this fruit, pustules will grow on our faces. Usually, one of us can stay in the cave while the other goes out. It won’t be a problem at all."

Wolf Night’s ears twitched slightly, and he added with a blush, "This is the advantage of being twins. My brother and I used to do this all the time when we were kids. We’d swap places and no one could tell the difference. Now, it’s just two people becoming one, so it’s not a big deal. Female master, look."

Wolf Night ate the fruit, and his face broke out in pustules just like Wolf Day’s. They dirtied their fur and skin, making themselves look like identical male gray wolves.

Nan Zishi said in astonishment, "You mean those pustules all over your faces came from eating something?!"

The Silver Wolf Brothers nodded.

Nan Zishi picked up a fruit and examined it from all angles.

’The fruits in this Beast World are really strange.’

She saved the seed from the fruit, planning to have Lu Ming plant one later.

Nan Zishi said, "By the way, Wolf Day, Wolf Night, I want to see Li Yun. When can that be arranged?"

"A Beastman from the rebel army has already gone to communicate with her. We can go now. Do you want to? Wolf Night still needs to rest, so if you want to go, I can take you today."

Nan Zishi was delighted. "Yes! Let’s not wait, let’s go now."

She put down the roasted meat that she was growing tired of eating. Before leaving, she said to Wolf Night, "Wolf Night, thank you for watching the home."

’She spoke to me again!’

’She’s said more to me in the last two days than she did in the entire three months we spent together five years ago!’

Wolf Night’s tail wagged happily, and he replied with a flushed face, "It’s no trouble. You all go on."

Watching Nan Zishi and the others leave, Wolf Night leaned against the cave entrance, his eyes following her until she was out of sight.

’I can’t believe we actually found Xiao Nan. I can’t believe Xiao Nan accepted us. I can’t believe we’re part of Xiao Nan’s family again.’

’I have to treat her well this time!’

As the male Silver Wolf thought about this, his tail started wagging again.

Wolf Day led Nan Zishi out of the cave, with Xuan Jin and Lu Ming following behind.

The mining area was huge, and Nan Zishi was so beautiful that she attracted too much attention. Wolf Day led her on a winding path before finally arriving at a hidden tunnel. A Beastman was already waiting for them nearby.

Wolf Day exchanged greetings with the Beastman, then led her into the tunnel.

"Li Yun lives underground?"

"Strictly speaking, she’s hiding underground."

Inside the tunnel, the Beastmen could see clearly with their natural night vision.

Nan Zishi, however, could not. She took a flashlight out of her storage space and used it to light the way forward.

"Watch your step," Xuan Jin said.

"Mm."

The group continued on, going deeper and deeper into the earth.

"What is she doing hiding underground?" Nan Zishi asked.

Wolf Day took Nan Zishi’s hand for a moment to help her over a rock, then said, "She didn’t say specifically, but she’s probably hiding from something."

"Female master, you should still be careful when you meet Li Yun. I get the feeling she might be a bit mentally unstable."

Nan Zishi hummed in acknowledgment.

The path was indeed long and deep. It wasn’t a single tunnel, but a complex network of passages with forks everywhere.

’This really is a good place to take refuge.’

Nan Zishi walked for a long time before the path finally opened up.

Before her was a massive underground cavern. A stream of subterranean water flowed gently, and the stalactites were beautiful.

Nan Zishi touched a stalactite, watching a small drop of water fall from one on the ceiling.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from the side.

"Is the system on you still there?"

Xuan Jin, Lu Ming, and Wolf Day were all slightly taken aback.

’System? What system?’

Nan Zishi looked around and replied, "No, I don’t have a system anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, a thin, pale human girl with black hair and black eyes came running out from the side.

’It’s really a human girl! She looks a few years older than me, maybe twenty-seven or twenty-eight.’

’Is she the host of that System 006?’

The girl was very excited. She ran up to Nan Zishi and looked her up and down.

"You’re doing well, you look healthy, and you have a flashlight. Wow, you’re so lucky! You actually had a flashlight in your hand when you transmigrated. I only brought my phone, and the battery died not long after."

Nan Zishi was a bit flustered by her enthusiasm.

After sending her Beast Husband and Lu Ming away, she went further inside with Li Yun. "Let’s talk in there."

"Need some privacy from your Beast Husband? I get it."

Wolf Day and Xuan Jin leaned against the stone wall.

Xuan Jin toyed with one of his own scales in his hand, his eyes flicking over from time to time to make sure Nan Zishi was safe.

Nan Zishi said, "I have a power bank. Do you want to use it?"

"You have a power bank?!"

Nan Zishi pretended to take a power bank out of her bag. Li Yun took it, ran back quickly, and found the phone she had treasured for years and couldn’t bear to throw away, plugging it in to charge.

After letting it charge for a bit, she tossed the phone aside in frustration. "It’s no use, it’s broken. It won’t work anymore. Ugh, I really want to look at my phone, use the apps... most importantly, I want to see the photos on it."

"I’m homesick. I’m so, so homesick. I miss my dad so much."

Nan Zishi sat down next to her, picked up the phone, and said, "Let me see if I can fix it for you."

Li Yun sat up. "I’m Li Yun. What’s your name? What year did you transmigrate?"

"My name is Nan Zishi. I transmigrated in 2025."

"2025, huh? That was quite a few years ago. I came here in ’20."

Perhaps because she had finally met someone from her old world, Li Yun, who hadn’t had anyone to talk to for a long time, had a strong urge to speak. While Nan Zishi was trying to fix the phone, Li Yun chattered on nonstop.

"Nan Zishi, my mom abandoned my dad and me when I was really little. My dad and grandma raised me. But I guess fate loves to kick you when you’re down, because my dad got cancer."

"When that system found me, it tricked me. It said it would take me to a place where lots of people would love me. And that if I completed its tasks, it would help me save my dad."

"But you know what? It was a huge liar!"

"At first, it said it would let me go if I had two children. But after two, it said the points needed to cure my dad had gone up, and I needed to have five. After five, it said the rules had changed and I needed to have ten."

"Even though having children in this world isn’t as exhausting as in our world, it’s still really hard on your body. Besides, I’m an educated girl. How could I be willing to become just a baby-making machine?"

"And, to be honest with you, I don’t think it’s worth it to keep having kids, even to save my dad. I’m sure my dad wouldn’t want me to suffer like this either."
