Huanhuan could finally ask the doubts in her heart. “Now, can you tell me how you followed me here?”

The poodle lay on the sofa. Knowing he couldn’t avoid her questions, he said resentfully, “I 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.”

“A deal? What did you do in exchange for that?”

The poodle turned away without speaking. “I can’t say.”

Huanhuan had no choice but to change the question. “Why did you become like this?”

The system was angry at the mention of this. “I didn’t want to either! But in this world, only this curly-haired dog’s body accepted me. I had no choice!”

Although it was very unkind, Huanhuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You’re laughing? You’re really laughing?!”

Huanhuan laughed even harder. “You’re so cute like this! You’re so ugly but cute!”

The poodle barked angrily. If he wasn’t 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, “Why did you run away when you saw me before?”

The poodle groaned. “I thought you wouldn’t want to see me again.”

“Huh? What made you think that?”

“You’re living well in this world. Not only do you have your mother’s love, but you’re also taken care of by your family. Your friends and colleagues are also very kind to you. In the future, you’ll fall in love with a tall, rich, and handsome man and live a happy life… You probably don’t want to be disturbed, right?”

After hearing what he said, Huanhuan’s expression became complicated. “This world is good, but everything here is unreal.”

The poodle looked at her with his dark eyes.

Huanhuan’s smile was bitter. “I keep thinking I’m dreaming. Every day when I sleep, I think that maybe when I wake up the next day, everything around me will disappear.”

“This isn’t a dream. You can live here in peace.”

Huanhuan shook her head. “You don’t have to lie to me. I know this is a dream. My mother died many years ago. People can’t come back from the dead. What I’m seeing now is all fake.”

The poodle tried to convince her. “You can think about it from another perspective. Maybe your memories were dreams, and what you see now is real.”

“If my memories were dreams, how did I transmigrate to the beast continent and meet Bai Di and the others? Was transmigrating a dream too?”

“Maybe it was really just a big dream.”

Huanhuan stared at him. “What about you? Are you real or fake?”

The poodle couldn’t answer.

Huanhuan said slowly, “Before you appeared, I did suspect that my transmigration was all a dream, but now I’m sure it wasn’t. Bai Di and the others are real.”

The poodle looked away and muttered, “That’s why I refused to acknowledge you.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t think about things like lies and relationships. Everything here is fine anyway. Why don’t you stay here and live a good life? Forget everything in the beast continent.”

Huanhuan frowned. “What about Bai Di and the others?”

“They can live well without you.”

“Really?” Huanhuan stared into his eyes. “I remember before I died, Sang Ye was certain that Bai Di killed me. He’ll definitely seek revenge on Bai Di. I can’t let them kill each other.”

“Don’t worry about that. Sang Ye has forgotten everything. He won’t take revenge on Bai Di.”

As soon as he said that, the poodle realized he’d 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, “You just said that Sang Ye forgot everything? Why did that happen?”

“Did I? Did I say anything like that?”

“You said that!”

The poodle was quick to defend himself. “Then I must have just gone crazy from my lust!”

Unfortunately, Huanhuan did not fall for it at all. She continued to interrogate, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll take you to the pet hospital to have your balls cut!”

The poodle howled. “I’m your father! Why are you so determined to cut off your father’s balls?! Where’s your humanity?!”

“You’ve eaten my humanity.”

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.

“Sang Ye was forced to eat the Spirit Buds by his uncle and lost all his memories. He doesn’t remember you anymore.”

Huanhuan quickly asked, “What are Spirit Buds?”

“They’re a medicine similar to Forgetting Water, but they’re 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 won’t even remember the most basic knowledge of life.”

Huanhuan opened her mouth. “How did this happen…”

“Sang 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.”

“What about Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling?”

The poodle replied vaguely, “They’re all doing well.”

“Didn’t they suffer the backlash of the mate contract?”

“They were all very strong and forcefully endured the backlash.”

Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

“Since you’re back, just live your life. Those people in the beast continent have their own destinies. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“How can I not worry?” Huanhuan smiled, her eyes red. “I dream about them every day now. I want to know how they’re doing. I want to know how tall the children are.”

The poodle was puzzled by her expression. “Is the world bad? Why do you keep thinking about the beast continent?”

“The world is good, but no matter how good it is, it’s all fake.”

“It’s all true if you want it to be.”

But Huanhuan said, “What’s fake is fake. It can never become real.”

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, “If you were given a chance to return to the beast continent, would you be willing?”

Huanhuan perked up. “Can I go back? Can I see Bai Di and the others again?”
