Chapter 235: Reborn
When she opened her eyes, Huang Mao found herself not in the familiar villa, but within a dimly lit cave.
"Awooo~~"
The sound echoing in her ears… was that a wolf’s howl?
It certainly resembled the wolf cries she’d heard on television before.
As she turned toward the noise, her gaze first fell upon the small furry bodies surrounding her—puppies? Or perhaps… wolf cubs?
The howls continued beyond the cave’s entrance.
Moments later, a sleek gray-blue wolf with powerful limbs appeared at the mouth of the den.
Rebirth.
She now existed as this great wolf’s offspring.
The reality of her situation crystallized in Huang Mao’s mind.
Which meant—
That mysterious voice hadn’t deceived her! Her master must also be in this world!
Her heartbeat quickened.
Eyes that had dulled with grief since her master’s death suddenly sparkled with renewed vitality.
Find her! Find Lin Yu!!
Impulse drove her to scramble toward the cave entrance, though some primal instinct already whispered the general direction of her master’s presence.
If she kept moving that way, reunion would be inevitable!
But her tiny limbs collapsed beneath her, the newborn body lacking strength.
No—she couldn’t act recklessly. This infant form needed time to develop.
When calmness returned, Huang Mao began strategizing.
The mother wolf chose that moment to return, jaws clamped around bloodied prey.
After depositing the meal, the matriarch settled beside the squirming cubs to nurse them.
Whimpering pups pressed close to feed.
Huang Mao joined the scramble, though during the milky tussle she noticed her golden fur contrasted sharply with the others’ gray-blue coats matching their mother.
No wonder the matriarch’s amber eyes held such scrutiny…
Would she be exiled from the den? Wait—different appearance aside, I’m still your cub!
Perhaps gentle nursing would earn favor? Her siblings’ aggressive suckling looked downright painful.
Yet… if their coloring differed so drastically, was she truly born of this wolf?
As the doubt formed, a translucent window materialized before her vision—
Exactly like a game interface prompt.
This is a panel that records… my attributes and information, right?
While suckling milk, the yellow-furred cub contemplated the Attribute Panel before her eyes.
After briefly scanning other sections, her attention lingered on the skills module.
There were only two entries: "Unique Skill—Inukami" and "Wind Walk".
"Wind Walk": Ride the winds to travel swiftly, significantly reducing air resistance during rapid movement while slightly increasing speed.
"Unique Skill—Inukami": Enables the skill bearer to establish a bond with a chosen master. Contains three effects:
1. The bearer may sense the master’s approximate location and identify their distinctive scent.
2. The bearer may merge with the master, sharing partial attributes and abilities.
3. Upon bond formation, the bearer becomes utterly subservient to the master’s will, with life and death resting in their hands.
…
The Wind Walk skill’s speed boost could help her reach her master faster.
As for Unique Skill—Inukami… this must be the "gift" that voice mentioned. Though I only wished to find my master, the blessing came with two extra effects… Well, finding Master Lin Yu is all that matters!
Wait—the description implies the designated master can be changed.
She experimentally designated the mother wolf as her master. Immediately, a faint tether connected them, allowing her to track the matriarch’s position like a living beacon.
Yet she resisted activating the full bond—that would surrender her fate to the wolf. Moreover, initiating the connection required visual contact, making it impossible to link with the distant Lin Yu.
Days passed as the golden cub grew steadily.
Her unusual pelt drew cold indifference from the mother wolf and littermates. While the other pups remained small, her frame expanded unnaturally fast.
…After weeks in the den:
Time to depart.
That partial mother! Always feeding the dim-witted pups first—must I grovel for scraps? Never! Only my true master deserves my wagging tail!
Survival and strength came first. Now nearly the mother wolf’s size, she decided to trail the hunter. The matriarch’s chosen prey and routes would be ideal for training. Better yet—she might steal the killing blows!
If game rules applied here, only the final strike granted Experience Value…
She shadowed the huntress. When the mother wolf crippled a monster for the coup de grâce, the cub sprang with a yelp! Startled, the matriarch froze—just long enough for gleaming fangs to sever the beast’s throat.
Success! Experience Value flooded her senses, triggering multiple level-ups. Pop-up windows bloomed—through them, she gained the Identification skill and attribute points. Among Health Value, Magic Value, and Strength, she prioritized Agility for her future journey.
Though the mother wolf growled at the stolen kill, maternal tolerance prevailed—for now.
…
Initially, the cub kept trailing to ambush weakened prey. But as her levels rose, she began solo hunts. With Identification and heightened Agility, escape remained easy when overpowered.
The mother wolf’s displeasure curdled into dread. Not just from the cub’s kill-stealing—the golden youth now towered three meters tall, dwarfing her half-meter littermates. When the pack began mentoring the other pups, the giantess could barely squeeze through the cave entrance.
Three years after bidding farewell to the fearful wolves, her odyssey continued.
