Chapter 141
Nyx was completely unaware.
By the time she heard the sound of wind rushing past her ears, it was too late.
In an instant, she felt a tremendous force slam into her from behind, accompanied by a cold, merciless killing intent, pinning her to the ground.
“Ah-” Nyx instinctively let out a cry of surprise.
Immediately, the force on her back lessened slightly, as if hesitating.
The pressure on her shoulder bones hurt, and Nyx couldn’t help but let out a few soft groans.
The force on her back grew lighter and lighter until it completely disappeared. A large beast paw grabbed her shoulder and flipped her over.
Face to face, Nyx saw a massive wolf.
Its fur was smoky gray, its eyes a deep blue, and its limbs long and powerful. It looked nothing like Zayne’s breed.
While Snow Wolves exuded elegance and aloofness, this wolf radiated a wild, ferocious aura.
The killing intent around him gradually faded. With his eyes unblinking, he stared at Nyx, examining her curiously.
Nyx, still shaken, didn’t dare move and let him look at her.
After a while, she calmed down a bit. The way the wolf looked at her seemed not very intelligent, like a wild animal. But the thick black mist surrounding him clearly indicated he was a Beastman.
As Nyx was puzzling over this, Pale Wolf suddenly spoke, “This is mine.”
His voice was deep and youthful, but his speech was halting, overly brief, and not very fluent. His ability to express himself was poor.
Nyx was startled. She thought, ‘Is he not very bright?‘
“Are you saying this is your territory?” she asked, trying to understand his meaning.
Pale Wolf nodded. He stared at her intently. “You… can stay.”
“Thank you,” Nyx replied, not knowing what else to say.
She had nowhere else to go for now. Since the wolf didn’t seem to want to drive her away, she decided to stay a little longer.
Pale Wolf circled around her a few times. “You are different.”
Nyx was confused. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Do you mean I look different from you?”
Pale Wolf happily nodded.
“That’s because I’m female,” Nyx sighed, shaking her head.
She thought, ‘It seems this wolf really is a bit slow. He doesn’t even understand gender. But given the state of this planet, it doesn’t seem like females live here. If this wolf has been born here, it makes sense he doesn’t know.‘
“Female,” Pale Wolf muttered, tilting his head as if he didn’t understand.

He scratched his ears a few times, and then gave up on thinking and trotted into the building, using his paw to open a door.
“You come here,” he called, turning his head to beckon Nyx.
Curious, Nyx followed and discovered a staircase leading to a basement. It seemed to be Pale Wolf’s home.
Nyx peeked inside and was surprised to find it unexpectedly tidy Aside from some simple living essentials, there were only a few weapons and parts neatly stacked in a corner.
She shook her head. “I’ll stay outside.”
Although the wolf seemed simple–minded and harmless, he was still a strange male. She shouldn’t enter his home.
Pale Wolf, however, grew anxious and nudged her with his head. Sandstorm coming soon.”
Nyx was startled. She looked at the yellowish sky and felt a sense of unease.
“You will be swept away.” Pale Wolf’s tone was sincere, his eyes filled with genuine concern.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Nyx decided to trust him.
After all, if he had wanted to harm her, he could have done so when he pinned her down earlier.
She held Black Mamba tightly and cautiously followed Pale Wolf into the basement.
The door closed, and Pale Wolf pressed a button. With the sound of metal grinding, a heavy, sturdy door rose.
The basement was now completely sealed. Pale Wolf operated a few more controls, activating the ventilation, monitoring, and defense systems.
The seemingly simple basement now felt like an impenetrable fortress. Nyx looked at Pale Wolf in surprise, realizing he didn’t seem so foolish anymore–he appeared quite intelligent.
After finishing his skilled operations, Pale Wolf transformed into his human form.
He was young and handsome, with short–cropped gray hair, a tall and muscular build, and well–proportioned features. However, he was completely naked.
Nyx, embarrassed, averted her gaze, not wanting to look down.
This was already the second time she had witnessed such a shocking scene.
The first time was with Kai, and now, it was with a stranger she had just met.
Pale Wolf seemed completely unaware of his nudity. Without a hint of shyness, he manually put on clothes and walked over to the pile of weapons and parts in the corner, starting to assemble them with skill.
Nyx, after an awkward moment, finally calmed down. When she looked up and saw what he was doing, she was amazed. “Who taught you how to do this?”
Pale Wolf was taken aback by the question and shook his head.
Nyx tentatively asked a few more questions and realized the wolf was clueless about many basic things, even his own name.
However, when it came to machinery, weapons, and combat, he was almost a genius, as if he had lost his memory but retained his most familiar skills.
“Did you suffer a head injury?” Nyx asked.

Pale Wolf nodded and showed her a scar hidden under his hair.
It looked like a fatal wound. It was hard for Nyx to imagine how he had survived on this planet after such an injury.
Despite Nyx’s barrage of questions, Pale Wolf showed no signs of impatience and answered each one earnestly until his stomach growled.
Pale Wolf stood up, rummaged through a storage cabinet, and pulled out a few potato–like fruits. He washed them, peeled them, and, despite his stomach growling nonstop, handed them to Nyx. “Eat it, please.”
Nyx shook her head. “Thanks, but fine. Thanks.”
Seeing her refusal, Pale Wolf looked shocked and panicked. “You.. sick?”
He had shared food with many children before, and no one had ever refused. Only once, a child who refused to eat had soon fallen ill and died.
The thought of this beautiful and special female dying soon made Pale Wolf heartbroken.
However, Nyx simply wasn’t hungry.
After much explanation, Pale Wolf still looked devastated.
Nyx had no choice but to pick up the smallest fruit and take a bite.
It was a bit bitter and tasteless–hardly appetizing. Not wanting to offend him, she forced herself to swallow it, relieved she had chosen the smallest one.
Seeing her finally eat, Pale Wolf smiled, a bit silly but genuinely happy.
He quickly peeled more fruits and pushed them toward Nyx. “You… eat more.”
Nyx went speechless.
She shook her head. “I’m already full. I can’t eat anymore.”
Pale Wolf didn’t believe her and reached out to touch her stomach.
His movements were quick, and Nyx couldn’t dodge in time. Her face turned red instantly. “You can’t just touch me like that!”
Pale Wolf looked genuinely confused. “Why… can’t touch?”
