To be honest, Luo Ning was stunned at first, even on the verge of despair.
But this silver wolf who claimed to have been reborn forcefully barged in…
In just a few minutes, the twists and turns felt like a scene from an unreal novel. Yin Yue shook her head.
“Mm~ The one who should say thank you has always been me.”
Scenes from her past life surged through Yin Yue’s mind like a tide. At that time, because she had lost the ability to grow, she was sold around as a pet, brutally abused by buyers with violent tendencies, covered in injuries. She barely managed to escape only to be caught again… In the end, she was utterly dead inside, completely hopeless about this world. She curled up in a dark corner, her silver fur dirty and mottled, her power depleted, barely alive, like a piece of discarded trash, ignored by everyone.
It was her master at that time, in the chaotic Pet Black Market, who spotted her at a glance—curled up in a corner, full of caution, on the verge of death. Her master was like a truly bright moonbeam, illuminating her entire dark world…
“Past life… It was you who redeemed my rotten self and lit up my gray life.”
Yin Yue’s amber eyes shimmered with a faint layer of tears, and she gently pressed her forehead against Luo Ning’s palm.
“Without Master, there would be no reborn Yin Yue today. So, Master, you don’t need to stand on ceremony with me. However you wish to call me or treat me, it’s all fine. I am your contracted beast, whether before rebirth or now…”
Seeing her eyes full of loyalty, with no hint of pretense, the last trace of unease in Luo Ning’s heart vanished. Her originally chaotic heart calmed down, filled with warm emotions… Who could refuse a wolf-eared girl who would sacrifice her life for you?
‘Past life… Uh, no! Should say, the future me is really not bad! Truly worthy of her!’
Luo Ning fantasized in her heart, extremely satisfied as she patted the shoulder of her future self—an encouragement.
‘Mm, that’s decided! Once I figure out how to get out of this secret realm, I’ll reward myself properly!’
Luo Ning gently rubbed her soft wolf ears with her fingertips, her brows curved.
“Then… from now on, I’ll just call you Yin Yue?”
“Mm~ Before rebirth, Master always called me Yin Yue.”
Now with Yin Yue by her side, she could temporarily not worry about personal safety and could calmly think about the next problems. And Lao Su, Luo Ning was very worried about her safety, after all, she didn’t have a beast yet.
“Yin Yue, did the past me ever tell you about what happened today?”
Logically speaking, the Breeding Center was a state-run beast taming breeding institution in the city, with top-tier security systems and emergency response mechanisms. A secret realm rift raid, such a major abnormal event that could shock the whole city, the official rescue should be launched immediately. So she should only need to stay put and wait for rescue.
Yin Yue slowly spoke, her voice light but each word clear.
“Yes, Master. Before rebirth, you did tell us about this day’s experience, but not much, because it involved Su…”
Yin Yue was silent for a moment before correcting herself.
“This secret realm was a targeted erosion point deliberately locked by a cult organization called the Primordial Cult in a certain place. They used the modified secret realm to distort the space of the entire area of the Breeding Center, creating a layer of false space barrier. To outsiders, today’s Breeding Center was calm, with no rifts, no anomalies, no energy fluctuations. All detection instruments, satellite monitoring, and beast taming alarms were blinded by false spatial data. Therefore, the outside world can’t see this secret realm we’re trapped in at all. We can only wait for someone to accidentally discover it… or for the official backup plan… The reason you fell into the secret realm, Master, is that the only other crack opened near the restroom you were in…”
Luo Ning’s pupils contracted, her heart jolted violently.
‘What the hell? The only two secret realm cracks? The cracks in this secret realm are targeting her, aren’t they? And that so-called cult organization?’
Luo Ning recalled the news broadcast this morning.
‘What the heck? My luck really sucks! She knew this beast taming world setting was super dangerous!’
“Yin Yue. Before your rebirth, I was here without your protection. How did I, alone, manage to survive in this dangerous secret realm?”
Luo Ning suddenly thought of this question and quickly asked.
“And Lao Su, that is, Su Wanwan, do you know? She should be fine, right?”
If her future self had told Yin Yue about this incident, she only needed to follow her own actions from that time. The key was Lao Su’s situation. When Yin Yue heard Su Wanwan’s name, she was silent again for a moment. Luo Ning’s heart suddenly tightened, her fingertips clenched instantly, and her chest felt stuffy.
‘No way?’
“She… something happened?”
“Mm.” Yin Yue nodded slightly, her voice low and hoarse. “In this secret realm incident in the past life, Miss Su Wanwan did not survive.”
This was also why later Luo Ning did not mention this day much to them… Luo Ning was completely stunned. Lao Su, her childhood friend, her best buddy… just gone like that?
“As for Master, according to what you once mentioned, you accidentally contracted the Zombie Beast Leader that first attacked you, and finally used it to fight one against seven and killed them all. But in the end, while you were waiting for rescue, you were targeted by a mythical-level lifeform released by the evil organization—the Primordial Blood Seed. The Primordial Blood Seed is a defective mythical-level bloodline lifeform. It seemed to see extreme talent potential in you. It used its own Blood Soul as bait to forcibly bind with your flesh, bloodline, and even soul.”
“Holy cow? That means…”
Luo Ning’s expression changed, and she felt cold in her hands and feet.
‘Oh no! Targeted by an old monster!’
Yin Yue was silent for a moment before continuing.
“That’s right, it wants to possess you, use your talent to be reborn, completely repair its mythical-level bloodline, and break through to above mythical-level.”
“Then… d-d-did the past me get possessed?”
That was the question she feared the most.
“No. It seemed to be restricted by the existence that sealed it back then, and also worried that forcibly possessing you would damage your beast taming talent, so it didn’t possess you immediately but chose a slow approach… Later, to resist it, on the advice of another companion, you borrowed the de…”
Yin Yue had just uttered one word when her whole wolf-eared girl body trembled violently. The next second! Her clear amber pupils suddenly contracted violently, and strange pitch-black patterns instantly crawled into her eyes. Threads of icy, eerie, ancient black mist silently seeped out from her hair, ears, and fingertips. That aura was extremely oppressive, as if from the desolate void of eternity, carrying a terrifying chill that could freeze the soul.
Luo Ning felt a chill all over and instinctively stepped back half a step.
“Yin Yue? What’s wrong…”
Yin Yue’s expression was filled with tremor and fear. She lowered her head, looking at her palm, her slender body trembling slightly, and a black light spot crazily flickering at her brow.
‘Can’t say anymore! At least, she cannot speak of anything related to the Abyss…’
Just now, the moment she tried to say that her past life master had tried to borrow the power of the Abyss to resist the Primordial Blood Seed, an invisible shackle hidden in the depths of her soul suddenly awakened!
‘That was actually a Soul Anchor left by the Abyss! If she continued speaking… it would likely attract the attention of the Abyss… or even its premature descent! That was an existence crowned with the name of a cosmic disaster…’
