“That’s roughly how it went.”
Luo Ning held a bowl of rice as she ate, watching Su Wanwan’s fat Leaf Slug munch on fresh vegetable leaves on the table, while casually recounting what had happened yesterday to Su Wanwan.
In short, after accidentally falling into the Mystic Realm, that Vampire Ancestor had set its sights on her ridiculously overpowered Beast Taming Talent.
Now she was forced to become the Vampire Ancestor’s Human Pillar.
As for Yin Yue, Luo Ning didn’t mention that she was a Reborn, because she was worried that Yin Yue might be targeted by that second old, old demon again.
And what about the first old demon inside Luo Ning? If she was peeping and eavesdropping, and then learned that Yin Yue was a Reborn, would she think Yin Yue was a variable and strike at them recklessly ahead of time?
Luo Ning only hinted to Su Wanwan that Yin Yue was very special.
Yin Yue’s identity could be absolutely trusted!
If it weren’t for Yin Yue, both she and Su Wanwan would have met with disaster yesterday!
Yin Yue also held a bowl in her hand, occasionally placing food beside Luo Ning.
But hearing Luo Ning’s trust and praise, the pair of snow-white wolf ears that had been softly drooped suddenly perked up slightly.
She obediently took a bite of rice, her gaze fixed on Luo Ning, her tail wagging more and more cheerfully, the fluffy, soft wolf tail sweeping back and forth behind the chair.
“So now there’s a Mythical-level existence living inside you? And it’s after your ridiculously amazing Beast Taming Talent that can lift the racial restrictions of pets?”
Su Wanwan looked at Luo Ning, who was calmly eating her rice across the table, and felt her scalp tingle.
She even overlooked the fact that Yin Yue called her Lady Mother.
Everything now made sense to her.
No wonder Luo Ning would rather give up the Lord-level Bloodline Electric Eel and didn’t care what pet she contracted.
No wonder that Mythical-level existence was willing to stake everything on Luo Ning.
So that’s how heaven-defying Luo Ning’s Beast Taming Talent was!
Luo Ning nodded, then took another big bite of rice.
Om nom nom nom—Old Su’s cooking is still the best!
Su Wanwan put down her chopsticks, her entire body stiff, staring at Luo Ning with a face full of anxiety: “That’s a living, breathing Mythical-level existence!
It wants to possess you, and you’re eating here slowly?!”
The more she said, the more panicked she felt. The dangerous scenes from yesterday’s Mystic Realm were still vivid in her mind.
Just the snake tide spilling out of the crack was enough to suffocate her.
If Luo Ning really got possessed by that Mythical-level existence…
She didn’t dare think about it!
Luo Ning was now like a walking time bomb; no one knew if she would suddenly explode the next second.
Su Wanwan slapped the table in panic, her incredible talent heaving with her agitation: “Don’t you have any sense of crisis? What if you really get possessed?”
Luo Ning chewed the food, her cheeks puffed out, her expression still relaxed. She swallowed before waving a hand: “If I really can’t hold on, I’ll find a way to blow up with it, go for an extreme one-for-one!”
Luo Ning even vaguely suspected that the version of her from the timeline before Yin Yue’s rebirth had thought the same way.
“But… Old Su, you’re right. Since it’s come to this, I do need to find a way.”
“Yin Yue, what do you think?”
Luo Ning turned to look at the wolf-eared girl sitting obediently beside her, her tone natural and gentle, placing the question in the hands of her most trusted Yin Yue.
Hearing her master call her, Yin Yue paused her chewing for a moment.
Her silver-white wolf ears twitched slightly, serious and solemn, shedding the excitement from being praised and gaining a layer of calm coldness and determination.
“I will not allow my master to be possessed.”
Yin Yue’s voice was firm and resolute, without a trace of hesitation.
In her previous life, her master had fainted after that incident, so she was unaware of the Primordial Blood Seed inside her for a long time.
It wasn’t until later, when her master picked up another companion, that she discovered the Blood Soul of the Primordial Blood Seed inside her…
That companion could also be considered her master’s first true contracted beast…
But in this life, she was reborn and stole her place ahead of time…
It was that companion who suggested her master try to control the Abyss Power, a Cosmic Catastrophe, to counter the Blood Seed inside.
That companion always secretly competed with her for her master’s attention, but she wasn’t bad by nature. Her only flaw was her deep obsession with the Abyss.
She was also one of the Abyss’s deceivers.
Even her hometown had been devoured by the Abyss…
No, rather than talk about her,
The ones who truly knew that the Cosmic Catastrophe known as the Abyss was a Super God-level lifeform could be counted on one hand across the entire universe.
Because those who truly knew had all been wiped out by the Abyss…
This time, Yin Yue would absolutely not allow her master to touch the Abyss Power again!
Moreover, Yin Yue had confidence that in no time, she could restore her previous life’s strength, and even take it a step further!
When that time came, it wouldn’t hurt for her to deal with the Primordial Blood Seed herself!
Luo Ning looked at her wolf-eared girl, warmth filling her heart. Her eyes curved into crescents as she reached over and placed a piece of spare rib back on her plate.
“See? Even my Yin Yue says that. So don’t worry too much.”
Luo Ning turned her head to look at Su Wanwan, still full of anxiety, and took another two bites of the fragrant rice.
“But…”
The anxiety in Su Wanwan’s eyes didn’t dissipate at all. Her gaze darted back and forth between the soft, lazy Luo Ning and the resolute, determined Yin Yue.
The chubby Leaf Slug on the table seemed to sense Su Wanwan’s tense mood, stopped nibbling the leaves, curled its round body slightly, and carefully waved its two tiny antennae.
A faint green powder began to disperse. The powder was extremely light and fine, like the haziest fog fluff of a spring morning.
The fear and agitation that had been weighing on Su Wanwan’s heart seemed to be swept away by a gentle breeze. The lump of impatience in her chest slowly dissolved, and her rapidly beating heart gradually calmed.
Luo Ning sensed the sweet, grassy-wood aroma around her nose and squinted comfortably, her cheeks still puffed, speaking indistinctly: “Your little fatty is pretty good. This fog fluff feels amazing!”
Su Wanwan let out a long, pent-up sigh. Her taut nerves slowly relaxed, but the worry in her heart still hadn’t completely dissipated.
Her tone softened considerably, losing its earlier panic and rush, leaving only full concern and earnestness: “He’s hiding inside you. We have no idea what he’s thinking or what his trump cards are, nor when he’ll try to possess you. Luo Ning, this is like sleeping with a tiger—day and night by your side.”
Luo Ning looked seriously at Su Wanwan. She knew Su Wanwan wasn’t worrying needlessly; she genuinely cared about her.
Luo Ning set down her bowl and chopsticks, her tone turning more sincere: “I know the risk is huge. I haven’t actually given up and lain down to rot.”
“But at the time I really had no other choice. He probably targeted me, which is why the second Secret Realm Crack appeared and why I was sucked into the Secret Realm. If Yin Yue had taken you and me away back then, I can’t guarantee that he wouldn’t have lashed out in anger and burned everything down…”
Luo Ning took a deep breath, kicked off her slippers, and, wearing white stockings, stood straight up on her chair.
“Call me impulsive or reckless, but I think it was because of me that you and the entire Jiangcheng were saved. And now, I feel really, really awesome!”
Luo Ning lifted her chin slightly, striking a cute, “haughty” pose.
“Just like ten years ago, when little me actually dared to rush back into that earthquake and Beast Tide to bring you and my kitten out! I was just plain badass!”
“As for what comes next, I’ve already decided to become the protagonist of the Beast Taming World. Old Su, just trust me and Yin Yue!”
“Other people start off fighting small fries, but I started off using my body to directly lock down the boss! This protagonist script—besides Naruto and Yuji Itadori—now there’s one more!”
Luo Ning raised her hand and patted her small chest, the gesture exaggerated and adorable.
Truth be told, Luo Ning would be lying if she said she wasn’t worried. The Primordial Blood Seed really was a ticking time bomb, but since it had come to this, she had no other choice.
Other than eating, all she could do was trust her Yin Yue!
Yin Yue had mentioned that the Primordial Blood Seed had some reservations and wouldn’t completely possess her all at once…
Since there was still time, there was still hope!
Yin Yue’s identity as a Reborn had given Luo Ning a great deal of confidence.
A faint, subtle smile curled at the corner of Yin Yue’s lips. She lifted her eyes to look at her spirited master, her silver-white wolf ears gently quivering.
Master standing up and patting her chest is really cute…
The chubby little Leaf Slug on the table fully stretched out its round body. Seemingly moved by Luo Ning’s passionate speech, it hurriedly began to clap its tiny antennae.
“Lea… Leaf…” (Amazing! Amazing!)
Su Wanwan looked up blankly at Luo Ning, who was standing on the chair with a radiant expression, as if a small, adorable yet determined figure from ten years ago was gradually overlapping with her…
“Luo Ning…” Su Wanwan slowly began.
“Hmm?”
Luo Ning thought her speech was very passionate—it had even gotten her, an 18-year-old “elderly” person, all fired up.
She was just waiting for Old Su to praise her!
“I think… the way you look now, so cute, is actually what you really looked like when you were little, all grown up?”
“Huh?!” Luo Ning.
Luo Ning froze on the spot. It took half a second for her to understand what Su Wanwan meant.
Dammit!
Old Su was saying that when she was little, she looked like a girl!
Just as Luo Ning puffed out her cheeks and was about to retort—
Ding-dong!!!
An abrupt, clear, and utterly unexpected doorbell suddenly rang.
