At least the remaining injuries were nothing serious for a Mutant Beast.
The Little Silver Wolf struggled forward a couple of steps and gently licked Si Junni’s palm.
Having grown accustomed to interacting with animals in the mountains, Si Junni naturally reached out to pet it and found the feel truly wonderful.
Pinching the Little Silver Wolf’s ears, stroking its fur, and finally giving its tail a playful tug—it was all worth it, not in vain for making this late-night trip.
However… just as she was pinching its ears, she suddenly felt the texture change.
“Awooo…”
The Little Silver Wolf transformed at a visible speed, turning into a… girl lying on the ground?!!?
Si Junni was startled, belatedly realizing that this wasn’t on Cedar Mountain but… a parallel world full of fantasy.
“You, you, you…”
The Little Silver Wolf… oh no, the silver-haired girl, completely naked, stared at Si Junni with a dazed, innocent look.
Si Junni pressed her temples frantically, her eyes wide open, struggling to accept the fact that the Little Silver Wolf had turned into a girl. The girl even had fluffy little ears on her head.
Once her senses returned somewhat, she quickly took out a piece of clothing from her storage space and draped it over the girl, asking, “What’s going on with you?”
“I… clan kill… escape… here…” The silver wolf girl, perhaps unaccustomed to speaking, not only had an exceptionally hoarse voice but also seemed to exhaust all her strength uttering these simple words, her face flushed red and her tongue heavily tangled.
Si Junni shook her head, “I mean, why are you a silver wolf but can turn into a human form?”
“Not know… since little… like this…”
“Then how have you been living?”
“Follow wolf… auntie.”
“And where is your auntie?” Si Junni felt the strain of communicating with a child; this Little Silver Wolf lacked the ability to volunteer information, only offering a few words per question.
“Auntie died… Monster Beast, kill… auntie…”
The silver wolf girl immediately grew sorrowful, her eyes brimming with tears, her lips pressed together as if she had suffered endless grievances.
“Good girl, don’t cry.”
Si Junni comforted her briefly, then checked her phone and roughly understood the Little Silver Wolf’s situation.
It was likely… the offspring of a human and a Mutant Beast. Though this sounded shocking, there was no other explanation.
Si Junni frowned slightly. In such a situation, if discovered, it would be captured and sent to the Mutant Beast Scientific Research Institute.
Although Si Junni wasn’t sure exactly what would happen after being sent there, she couldn’t help but feel some pity.
“How long can you maintain your human form?”
The Little Silver Wolf sensed Si Junni’s goodwill and guessed she might be trying to save her, blurting out, “Can… always, I want to be with you.”
Perhaps the Little Silver Wolf knew this was her chance to change her fate, as she spoke less haltingly.
“I can take you to a wolf pack.” Si Junni wasn’t one to seek trouble, but she couldn’t bear to abandon her.
Unexpectedly, the Little Silver Wolf shook her head desperately, “They… don’t want me, kill me…”
Si Junni sighed helplessly.
This little one was indeed pitiful. Her only relative had passed away, and both groups she was connected to held unfriendly attitudes toward her.However, her thoughts quickly shifted as she remembered the reward Fugui had given her today.
Wasn’t there something called an Aura Concealment Device? If the Little Silver Wolf wore it, it should effectively block human detection and perfectly conceal her mutant beast aura.
During battles, she could pretend to be a Beast Transformation Element special ability user, transforming into a silver wolf to fight.
Right now, she truly lacked means of self-protection—her martial skills hadn’t fully recovered, and her Healing Type special ability was… utterly useless. If this little wolf was strong, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find a way to keep her by her side.
She could even pinch her ears for fun when bored.
But was it appropriate to do something so “criminal” right after arriving in this world?
Looking into the young wolf girl’s hopeful eyes, Si Junni’s heart softened in the end. “Are you strong? Can you defeat Mutant Beasts? I need someone to take hits and lead the charge for me.”
The young wolf girl nodded eagerly, not even bothering with words, and immediately began demonstrating her abilities. Ignoring her injuries, she transformed into her true form and dashed out like lightning.
Si Junni didn’t stop her. Since she had already crossed over to this world, she might as well enjoy the thrill of combat here.
If the little wolf wasn’t strong enough to keep up with her, it wouldn’t be a good choice. It would be better for her to find a pack of mutant wolves and stay with her own kind, where she’d at least be safe.
The silver wolf demonstrated some common moves of mutant beasts—pouncing, biting, and clawing!
But her speed was as fast as a shooting star, her strength was no less impressive, and she was exceptionally agile. With a forceful swing of her forelimbs, a tree about a meter thick crashed to the ground.
Although the little wolf’s movements seemed a bit strained, she was, after all, still young.
Seeing that the little wolf was about to demonstrate more, Si Junni spoke up to stop her. “That’s enough.”
The Little Silver Wolf nervously shuffled back, transforming back into her girl form. Feeling like she hadn’t performed well, her wolf ears drooped.
“I… hurt… didn’t do well… I’m super fierce… Aunt said… I’m… strong.”
“You did very well. This gift is for you—you must wear it at all times. It can conceal your aura so other humans won’t detect you. If you’re discovered, I don’t have the ability to protect you right now.”
The Little Silver Wolf excitedly leaped three meters into the air, her previously drooping ears perking right back up.
“Awoo!”
“You need to practice speaking properly!” Si Junni lightly flicked her forehead. Instead of dodging, the little wolf excitedly raised her head, wanting Si Junni to place the beautiful gem around her neck.
After putting it on her, Si Junni stared at the thin and fragile-looking chain, feeling more and more uneasy about it.
Would it fall off? Would it break? What if someone grabbed it during a fight?
She silently asked Fugui in her mind, “Is this chain sturdy? Can’t you think of a more secure way for her to wear this thing?”
“You can choose to integrate it directly into her body, but it’ll cost an extra 1,000 yuan for processing. Cash is fine—I won’t charge you energy.”
Si Junni had spent all her money stocking up today and didn’t even have 100 yuan left. “10 yuan!”
“Deal.”
Fugui excitedly took the money and got to work, successfully saving 10 yuan in private funds!
Si Junni’s face darkened. If she ever trusted this Fugui again, she might as well hit herself with a brick! This clearly didn’t require much effort at all.Little Silver Wolf stared blankly as such a large gem vanished into thin air, growing increasingly agitated…
