Huanhuan could finally ask the doubts in her heart. âNow, can you tell me how you followed me here?â
The poodle lay on the sofa. Knowing he couldnât avoid her questions, he said resentfully, âI made a deal with the prophet before. He had to help you keep your soul if you were ever killed and send you back to the modern world.â
âA deal? What did you do in exchange for that?â
The poodle turned away without speaking. âI canât say.â
Huanhuan had no choice but to change the question. âWhy did you become like this?â
The system was angry at the mention of this. âI didnât want to either! But in this world, only this curly-haired dogâs body accepted me. I had no choice!â
Although it was very unkind, Huanhuan couldnât help but chuckle.
âYouâre laughing? Youâre really laughing?!â
Huanhuan laughed even harder. âYouâre so cute like this! Youâre so ugly but cute!â
The poodle barked angrily. If he wasnât tied up, he would have pounced on her and hugged her thigh!
When Huanhuan finally finished laughing, she returned to the topic and continued to ask, âWhy did you run away when you saw me before?â
The poodle groaned. âI thought you wouldnât want to see me again.â
âHuh? What made you think that?â
âYouâre living well in this world. Not only do you have your motherâs love, but youâre also taken care of by your family. Your friends and colleagues are also very kind to you. In the future, youâll fall in love with a tall, rich, and handsome man and live a happy life⦠You probably donât want to be disturbed, right?â
After hearing what he said, Huanhuanâs expression became complicated. âThis world is good, but everything here is unreal.â
The poodle looked at her with his dark eyes.
Huanhuanâs smile was bitter. âI keep thinking Iâm dreaming. Every day when I sleep, I think that maybe when I wake up the next day, everything around me will disappear.â
âThis isnât a dream. You can live here in peace.â
Huanhuan shook her head. âYou donât have to lie to me. I know this is a dream. My mother died many years ago. People canât come back from the dead. What Iâm seeing now is all fake.â
The poodle tried to convince her. âYou can think about it from another perspective. Maybe your memories were dreams, and what you see now is real.â
âIf my memories were dreams, how did I transmigrate to the beast continent and meet Bai Di and the others? Was transmigrating a dream too?â
âMaybe it was really just a big dream.â
Huanhuan stared at him. âWhat about you? Are you real or fake?â
The poodle couldnât answer.
Huanhuan said slowly, âBefore you appeared, I did suspect that my transmigration was all a dream, but now Iâm sure it wasnât. Bai Di and the others are real.â
The poodle looked away and muttered, âThatâs why I refused to acknowledge you.â
âWhat did you say?â
âItâs nothing. Donât think about things like lies and relationships. Everything here is fine anyway. Why donât you stay here and live a good life? Forget everything in the beast continent.â
Huanhuan frowned. âWhat about Bai Di and the others?â
âThey can live well without you.â
âReally?â Huanhuan stared into his eyes. âI remember before I died, Sang Ye was certain that Bai Di killed me. Heâll definitely seek revenge on Bai Di. I canât let them kill each other.â
âDonât worry about that. Sang Ye has forgotten everything. He wonât take revenge on Bai Di.â
As soon as he said that, the poodle realized heâd said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth. He continued to try to twist his furry body to satisfy his desire for friction.
Huanhuan pressed down on his back and asked word by word, âYou just said that Sang Ye forgot everything? Why did that happen?â
âDid I? Did I say anything like that?â
âYou said that!â
The poodle was quick to defend himself. âThen I must have just gone crazy from my lust!â
Unfortunately, Huanhuan did not fall for it at all. She continued to interrogate, âIf you donât tell the truth, Iâll take you to the pet hospital to have your balls cut!â
The poodle howled. âIâm your father! Why are you so determined to cut off your fatherâs balls?! Whereâs your humanity?!â
âYouâve eaten my humanity.â
No matter how the poodle resisted and shouted, trying to change the subject, Huanhuan remained cold and completely unmoved.
In the end, the poodle was forced to spit out the truth.
âSang Ye was forced to eat the Spirit Buds by his uncle and lost all his memories. He doesnât remember you anymore.â
Huanhuan quickly asked, âWhat are Spirit Buds?â
âTheyâre a medicine similar to Forgetting Water, but theyâre more potent than Forgetting Water. Forgetting Water only makes people lose their emotions and desires. Spirit Buds will make people completely forget their past. They wonât even remember the most basic knowledge of life.â
Huanhuan opened her mouth. âHow did this happenâ¦â
âSang Ye is living with the demons now. Han Ying is taking good care of him. To put it bluntly, Sang Ye is more suitable to stay in the demon race. He has learned the combat methods of the demon race and has improved rapidly. He has already become the recognized successor to the next commander of the demon race.â
âWhat about Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling?â
The poodle replied vaguely, âTheyâre all doing well.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDidnât they suffer the backlash of the mate contract?â
âThey were all very strong and forcefully endured the backlash.â
Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. âThatâs good.â
âSince youâre back, just live your life. Those people in the beast continent have their own destinies. You donât have to worry too much.â
âHow can I not worry?â Huanhuan smiled, her eyes red. âI dream about them every day now. I want to know how theyâre doing. I want to know how tall the children are.â
The poodle was puzzled by her expression. âIs the world bad? Why do you keep thinking about the beast continent?â
âThe world is good, but no matter how good it is, itâs all fake.â
âItâs all true if you want it to be.â
But Huanhuan said, âWhatâs fake is fake. It can never become real.â
The system originally thought that Huanhuan would like this world very much.
But at this moment, looking at her lonely expression, the system could not help but hesitate. He remembered following her these days and seeing her in a daze.
Everyone around her was clearly good to her, but she still seemed very lonely and out of place.
The poodle asked, âIf you were given a chance to return to the beast continent, would you be willing?â
Huanhuan perked up. âCan I go back? Can I see Bai Di and the others again?â
