Jun Lu felt a strange sensation coming from his cheek.
He knew his master’s bad habit was starting again, and although he was a little helpless, he seemed to get used to it after being poked and prodded.
He sucked his pacifier and felt that the nipple was stained with some sugar. It tasted a little sweet.
He didn’t expect the pacifier to come back, and ……
Master also wasn’t angry.
A little happiness and a trace of joy rose in his heart, but that trace of joy was quickly ignored by him.
I can’t lose it again in the future, thought Jun Lu.
After a while, the feeling of being poked on the cheek disappeared, probably because his master finally got tired of playing with it.
Jun Lu sighed with relief, he jumped and gently leapt onto a rock next to him. After standing still, he slowly changed into a human form.
A little boy with black hair and red pupils, wearing a white shirt and suspenders shorts, looked as exquisite and beautiful as a porcelain doll. Amidst the rough wilderness here, he looked a little out of place.
Arashi’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to it.
Changing into human form was the ultimate goal of evolution for almost all magical beasts, and although it could talk, it still had a long way to go before it would become human.
Jun Lu did not look at it, but observed the surrounding environment.
It was late at night, the moon was as still as water, the prairie was silent, and there was only the sound of insects and the howling of wild animals from afar.
The little boy sucked his pacifier, his brow slightly wrinkled into a small knot.
Just now he was in a hurry to escape, plus with the unfamiliarity of the shadow world, he got lost while diving. Now he’s not sure where he is.
But it’s still in the prairie.
Jun Lu thought this and called the white wolf: “Arashi, let’s ……”
“Rumbles——”
There was a sudden loud sound from the sky.
The good thing was that the speaker’s volume had been turned down, so Yu Xingqiao was not surprised by the thunder.
He adjusted the camera and looked to the sky.
The thick clouds were as high as mountains, swept by the wind and spreading rapidly. Occasionally, lightning would pierce down from the clouds, lighting up heaven and earth bright white.
Looks like it’s going to rain ……
[Ding~ triggered a side mission [Avoid the Rain]]
[Task content: The cub’s body is fragile and immune system is low, being rained on can easily catch a cold and get sick. Please find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible.]
“A shelter from the rain? How would I find it?”
Yu Xingqiao murmured, but reacted quickly.
–
Jun Lu looked at the dark clouds in the distance.
A storm was approaching.
He watched expressionlessly and could already imagine what he was going to face next.
This was the prairie, a vast expanse, only a few trees and a few rocks can be seen occasionally. There was very little shelter.
He remembered he encountered a heavy rain during his escape, and in a panic, he hid in a tree hole.
He naively thought he had finally found a temporary shelter. But before he could rejoice, a thunderbolt struck down ……
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
It was then that he remembered some knowledge that he had overlooked, the knowledge that he had once ignored because he was strong enough.

“Db Al Db Al ——”
Arashi, come here.
The white wind wolf’s ears twitched and obediently came to his side, blocking the upwind.
“Master.”
The wind wolf looked down at the small black ball, its turquoise eyes were like emeralds, clear and calm.
At that moment, the wind became more fierce.
A gust of wind blew from behind, whirling the fur on Arashi’s body, like it was going to blow it up into the sky.
Arashi’s limbs dug into the ground tightly. There were rocks flying in the sky, but when it was about to hit, it was blocked by a layer of windshield and bounced away with a thud.
Seeing it firmly blocking in front of him, Jun Lu couldn’t help but pause.
He called it over, not to let it block the wind …… he was just about to explain, Jun Lu suddenly felt that he didn’t need to do such a superfluous thing.
“Bo Ji Bo Ji ——”
You don’t move.
He gave a warning, and then under Arashi’s curious gaze, extended a tentacle to rest on its paw.
Because of this touch, the connection of their contract seemed to be a little stronger, and some clarity suddenly arose in Jun Lu’s heart.
He sucked on his pacifier, enveloped the white wolf with his spiritual power, and then ……
Arashi disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, on the bottom left corner of Yu Xingqiao’s game interface, an additional three words “is currently resting” appeared on the pet bar beside Arashi’s icon.
But Yu Xingqiao was so busy preparing that he didn’t notice.
Sure enough ……
Jun Lu sensed around carefully. Arashi hadn’t disappeared, but was sent to another place. The connection between them was not broken so he could recall it at any time.
Moreover, from what he can sense, Arashi was in good condition and the place where it was was safe.
This way, he didn’t have to use the Shadow Cage on it.
Although this skill could store things, it would increase the sense of weight and affect his speed, so he could not load too many heavy things unless he had to.
Jun Lu continued to spread his spiritual power out.
His spiritual detection range had expanded from ten meters to a hundred meters. It was hard to imagine that he could recover so quickly.
It seemed that after meeting his master, the things that he previously found incredibly difficult would always be accomplished with ease, such as skill upgrades and his injury recovery.
If it wasn’t for the physical exhaustion, he would even want to continue hunting during the day.
The feeling of rapidly accumulating energy and getting stronger every moment was really addictive.
Finally, Jun Lu found a boulder a hundred meters away and launched his Shadow Dive before the storm came.
Yu Xingqiao had just taken the cradle out when he saw the cub’s entire ball blend into the shadow on the ground.
This was the first time he had actually seen the cub launching a Shadow Dive, and it felt quite convenient – blending himself into the shadows and then coming out of another shadow.
As the two pulled away and after reaching a hundred meters, his view of the game automatically flew back to the cub.
In the center of the screen, was a not particularly large rock, but it was already considered a boulder to the little black ball.
The little black ball bounced out of the shadow of the rock.
“Hua La La —— Hua La La ——”
Heavy rain poured down.
There was a gap at the base of the rock, and as the rain fell overhead, the little black ball scrambled into the crevice.
Within the howling wind and rain, he shrunk into the gap between the rock and the ground, which simply cannot block the pouring rain.
The good thing was that the gap was deep enough and there was a slope, so the groundwater didn’t come up to soak him. It was just that he was blown by the wind mixed with rain, which was bone-chillingly cold.
Jun Lu was used to this kind of environment, he just had to endure it and it would be all over soon.
He used his spiritual power to carefully observe the surroundings; with the pacifier’s concealment, he should be able to spend a safe night tonight.
However, in Yu Xingqiao’s eyes, it was a whole other mood.
Wu wu, the cub is so pitiful. He must have experienced it many times before to look so happy and content ba?
Yu Xingqiao hurriedly took out the umbrella he just bought at the mall.
He had not used an umbrella before, but he had seen it many times in film and television dramas and knew what it could do.
He bought this umbrella that could adjust its size independently, except for being a little expensive, it was quite worth it.
With his control, the umbrella landed next to the boulder. The thin pole at the bottom was inserted into the ground, and after standing firmly, the umbrella was silently held open.
“Hua La La —— Hua La La ——”
The rain hit the umbrella’s surface, creating a slightly muffled sound, but between heaven and earth, it isolated a peaceful and quiet place.
The cub seemed to notice the anomaly.
After Yu Xingqiao’s umbrella was inserted, the little black ball was seen probing out from under the stone crack, as if surveying the umbrella overhead.
“Bo Ji Bo Ji?”
The milk-like soft and little voice quietly called out “master”.
Yu Xingqiao instantly felt his health bar empty out, couldn’t resist the desire to rua a little.
But the ground was wet and the cub was also splashed with rainwater. He glanced at the status bar, showing that the cub’s body temperature and stamina were low, and was also in a state of fatigue.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and clicked on the newly purchased towel. He wrapped the cub up, dried it and quickly stuffed it into the cradle.
Jun Lu looked at the umbrella overhead, although the master did not answer him, but he knew it must be the master who did it.
Something different had just appeared from the bottom of his heart, then a blue and white cloth towel suddenly appeared above his head and his body started to float up uncontrollably.
He could only watch as the cloth wrapped around him and then the sky spun.
What is going on?
He thought dizzily, even forgetting to suck on the pacifier.
Finally, he felt himself being stuffed into a warm space, his body landed on a soft plush satin, and the soft sound of music played in his ears.
He didn’t know why, but while listening to the music, he felt that all of the uncertainty and helplessness in his heart had disappeared all at once, reaching a state of peace that he had not seen for a long time.
The little black ball wriggled its round body and got out of the blanket wrapped around him with difficulty.
Then Jun Lu found that he seemed to be staying in a basket?
Or …… cradle?
Because the basket suddenly swayed gently on its own ……
Sway, sway.
Swaying so much that he started to get sleepy.
”System, where am I?” He couldn’t help but ask.
[The host has configured a cradle for you to sleep in peace.]
The system posted the information about the cradle.
Jun Lu looked at the information and was speechless for a long time.
Where on earth did the host get all these strange equipment from? He was really not a cub ah ……
Just then, the pacifier that he was holding and biting was suddenly plucked away and then disappeared into thin air in front of his eyes, followed by a gentle caress on the top of his head.
“Go to sleep.”
Small golden letters floated in front of his eyes.
Jun Lu paused, and, unsure if it was the cradle’s effect or because of that gentle caress, he felt a little more peaceful in his heart, and sleepiness came up in bursts.
Sleepy……
He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had had a peaceful sleep ……
At last, when the small golden letters urged him again, he finally let himself be overwhelmed by exhaustion, curled up in the blanket and fell into a dark and heavy dream.
Outside the cradle, it was stormy.
Inside the cradle, there was peace and quiet.
Yu Xingqiao watched the scene and nodded in satisfaction.
He tilted his head on his knees, listening to the sound of rain coming from the speaker, he found himself a little sleepy.
The cradle was automatically rocking, so there was no need for him to operate.
He simply put down the phone, grabbed over the pillow and leaned against the headboard. Listening to the sound of rain clattering from the speaker, he closed his eyes and listened carefully.
Yu Xingqiao had never seen real rain, let alone been rained on. He even needed to purify the air he breathed in, not to mention the rain falling from the sky.
Perhaps when his life was almost at an end, he would finally walk out of the sterile room.
At that time, without protective clothing, without any protective measures, he could breathe and bask in nature to his heart’s content ……
The teenager was so dazed in his thoughts that he didn’t notice the nursing lady come in to check in on him, drape a blanket over him, and then walk out again.
After an unknown period of time, a strange sound coming from the speaker woke him up.
Yu Xingqiao rubbed his eyes and took his phone.
In the game, the rain was still falling.
Only to see within the rain curtain, faintly in the distance, a mud-stained SUV could be seen stumbling in the wind and rain, driving over.
The author has something to say.
Happy June 1st, little cuties!

Rain is a good sound for making one sleepy yawn
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
thanks for the chapter <3
Thanks for the chapter 😊 I was kinda confused about the SUV until I remembered that this novel wasn’t a pure fantasy world lol
We’ve already got an Empire (title), a Prince and aircrafts so why not SUV’s too?
I feel what I read about a child who plays children’s games about life. And the sad thing is that it is close to the truth
Thank you for the new chapter
Thank you for the chapter!!
I thought the translator said the ‘Happy June 1st” lmao I turned to look at the calendar in wonder XD
The bad guy again? 🙄
+1 I overlooked the word “author” and was wondering what kind of time difference the translator and I had.
😛
Am SUV? So strange haha
I am so soft for them 🥺
Yeah I guess a huge umbrella with a cradle underneath isn’t super discreet…
