Chapter Index

    “Hey there, little guy. Are you okay?”

    Crouching down, Chu Yuan gently turned Shuang Yu’s body over and asked softly.

    Unfortunately, Shuang Yu had already fainted and was in no condition to answer him.

    The latter checked his body and, confirming he had no external injuries and was still alive, let out a sigh of relief.

    Chu Yuan knew that if he left him here, only death awaited this little fellow.

    Unable to bear it, he decided to take him back.

    “Let me, Young Master Chu Yuan.”

    “No need. The little guy is quite heavy. You’re getting older, and I’m worried you might strain your back.”

    Chu Yuan smiled gently and lifted the large, heavy Alaskan Malamute, walking back toward the car.

    After driving for more than eight hours, they finally reached a city in another state—Li City.

    Meanwhile, the identity of the deceased woman was quickly discovered, and the police notified Su Jiaxue’s parents.

    After a preliminary conversation, the police identified their prime suspect as Han Shuangyu, an illegal immigrant without A Country citizenship.

    After another hour or so of driving, the luxury car arrived at a semi-mountainous area in Li City.

    A guard opened the main gate, and the car drove in. After another fifteen minutes, it finally reached a magnificent manor.

    Unlike other prominent families with swarms of servants.

    The servants in this manor could be counted on one hand.

    Apart from the old man from before, only two maids came out to greet them.

    One was slightly older and plump, while the other was young, beautiful, and had a stunning figure.

    “Did anything happen, Wang Bo?”

    The plump middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

    The old man shook his head. “He’s fine, just had a rough time…”

    Just as he finished speaking, the back door of the car opened.

    Chu Yuan got out and greeted the two with a faint smile, “Hua Sao, Nini, thank you for waiting up so late for me.”

    His gentle and warm demeanor immediately told them who he was.

    “Young Master Chu Yuan.”

    Bowing, the two greeted him respectfully.

    As they were speaking.

    Shuang Yu, who had been asleep for over ten hours, slowly woke up.

    [You’ve been corpse-picked, Lord. You’re lucky; the one who picked you up is the kind young master of a wealthy family.]

    Xiao Ai’s notification sounded.

    Shuang Yu lay lazily in the back seat of the car, observing his surroundings.

    The manor outside the window was incredibly luxurious, even more so than the one he had lived in during the last world.

    It was just that it was strangely deserted, which was a bit abnormal…

    Oh well, it was a good place to recuperate. No matter what secrets this family had, they couldn’t harm him.

    “I never thought I’d see the day I’d be taken care of by a pet owner.”

    Shuang Yu chatted with Xiao Ai, licking his fleshy front paw with his tongue.

    His stomach was still empty, and he was in a state of dizzying hunger.

    He wondered if his pet owner fed him dog food, would he shock him by asking for a steak in human language?

    Tsk, tsk, this dog form…

    It felt completely natural.

    A one-to-one custom job, no joke!

    Xiao Ai silently snarked in its mind.

    As he was licking, Shuang Yu’s attention was drawn to a piece of very light fabric nearby.

    He tilted his head slightly, crawled forward, hooked the thing with his paw, and lowered his head to sniff it.

    This was a common habit of canines; it couldn’t be helped.

    What was this thing?

    Seeing the world through a wolf’s eyes and a human’s eyes were two completely different experiences.

    After sniffing and looking for a long time, Shuang Yu couldn’t figure out what the leopard-print thing was.

    [Lord, it’s a T-back. It’s still warm, freshly taken off the kind young master just a short while ago!]

    Xiao Ai’s gloating voice rang out.

    Shuang Yu’s body instantly stiffened.

    Inside the car, a dull thud sounded.

    The group of people immediately turned their heads.

    Through the open car door, they saw a giant Alaskan Malamute sitting on the car floor, its furry head peeking out as it stared at them foolishly, a… leopard-print… men’s T-back dangling from its mouth.

    [The worst is when~ the air suddenly goes quiet~]

    Xiao Ai’s off-key singing rang out.

    The faces of the three people, excluding Chu Yuan, changed drastically.

    Only Chu Yuan remained calm, smiling as he walked toward him. “You’re awake. Do you like it?”

    He patted Shuang Yu’s head, then hooked the T-back dangling from his mouth with his index finger!

    That description would be fine for a dog.

    But Shuang Yu was not a dog.

    He was a werewolf!

    Saying he liked the warm T-back he had worn was like accusing him of being a pervert!

    Shuang Yu was speechless.

    I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!

    “Awoo… Awoo awoo…”

    He howled, trying to spit out the damned thing in his mouth.

    Unfortunately, the strap was caught on his canine tooth. No matter how he pawed at it, he couldn’t get it off.

    This was fucking… a moment of social death!

    [It’s fine. In their eyes, you’re just a stupid dog who’s never seen the world and doesn’t know what a T-back is. They definitely won’t think you’re a pervert who likes used underwear.]

    Xiao Ai was online again, dissing him.

    Shuang Yu was speechless.

    Get lost!

    “Where did this dog come from?”

    Nini asked, full of confusion.

    Shuang Yu’s forest-green eyes shot a dark glare at her.

    “That’s not a dog, right? Looks like a wolf to me!”

    Hua Sao mumbled.

    Hmm, the older lady has some sense!

    “I found him on the road. It’s a kind of fate. From now on, he’s a member of our family.”

    Chu Yuan smiled, his eyes gentle.

    When the two heard this, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Shuang Yu.

    Their expressions seemed to say, “Well, another poor thing. I wonder how many days this one will last!”

    Shuang Yu was bewildered, but he couldn’t possibly ask.

    Unless he wanted to be sent to the dissection lab.

    After the small talk, the group prepared to go inside.

    Shuang Yu wanted to get out of the car too, but he was currently staggering when he walked. The moment he moved, he would flop back into his original position.

    “Is there something wrong with your leg?”

    Chu Yuan’s eyes filled with confusion and concern as he gently squeezed his hind leg.

    Although Shuang Yu was in wolf form, he was still human!

    The other’s action felt like he was holding his foot and caressing it. It was overstepping!

    “Hmph…”

    He immediately bared his teeth, letting out a warning sound.

    “Quite fierce…”

    Chu Yuan chuckled softly, unafraid. He raised his hand to ruffle his head and, without another word, picked him up and walked away.

    Shuang Yu was speechless.

    A tiger in distress is bullied by dogs!

    [No, it’s a dog in distress being bullied by a human!]

    Xiao Ai started arguing again.

    After carrying Shuang Yu inside, Chu Yuan changed his shoes.

    The interior of the villa was decorated in a European Baroque style.

    A huge crystal chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling, and a dark red carpet was laid on the staircase.

    The house was overly large, designed like an ancient castle. Combined with the somber color palette, it gave the interior a faintly eerie feeling.

    On the third floor, a long, seemingly endless hallway stretched out. Expensive paintings hung on the walls, and the floor was adorned with lush potted plants and various antique European-style artifacts.

    The rooms were spaced far apart.

    What was somewhat strange was that each door had a nameplate hanging on it.

    In order, they were Chu Chi, Chu Yan, Chu Yuan…

    At the very end of the hallway was the last room.

    The room was very, very far from the other three, as if it stood alone.

    The door also had a nameplate, but there was no name on it, only a skull representing danger!

    Shuang Yu inexplicably felt a cryptic danger lurking behind that dark red door.
