75 The Soy Sauce Portal

Hao Ren woke up early the next morning, before the sun had even rose. He bumped into Vivian, who did not sleep the night before and the early riser, Y’zaks. The three of them spoke spontaneously, "Let’s check on Lily (Doggie)!"

After hitting herself unconscious since the previous night, Lily was not in any danger. By staying unconscious, she did not lose control and go on a rampage. In fact, Hao Ren and Vivian helped Lily back to her room that night. Hao Ren anticipated that Lily was going to wake up soon. He pushed the door open with Vivian but, what they saw shocked them.

Lily was still in her werewolf form—and awake. She crouched on the bed and her wolf tail stood erect like a feather duster. Her back was facing them so they could not see her face. But Hao Ren could vividly feel a suppressed energy, which was gradually being released around her—he felt like he was confronting a beast.
