Chapter 187
Most interstellar liquors were too strong and harsh. To make this batch of wine, Nyx had specially brewed a low–alcohol
version.
But she never had a clear understanding of her own alcohol tolerance.
+13
Back on Earth, she had never dared to drink until she was drunk, always refusing alcohol outright. Now, in the safety of her own home, she let herself relax a little.
After three cups of wine, her gaze turned unfocused. She started humming happily, a bright smile spreading across her face -completely different from her usual calm demeanor. She was totally drunk.
The males exchanged glances.
Nyx reached for another pour, but Felix firmly grabbed her wrist.
“No more, Nyx,” he said, showing the authority of an elder.
Drunk and slow to react, Nyx struggled a little but soon realized she couldn’t overpower him. She pouted in displeasure, and then suddenly leaned in and kissed Felix.
Felix froze for half a second, completely caught off guard.
Kissing her mates was nothing new, but this time, Nyx was entirely different.
Before, she had always seemed shy, closing her eyes obediently during kissing. Now, she was bold and passionate, staring at Felix with bright, unblinking eyes.
Felix felt at a loss, unsure how to handle her.
After the kiss, Nyx lost interest in drinking. She cupped her face in her hands, scanning the room, sizing up all the males
present.
Only the best of the best could become Nyx’s mates, so they were all exceptionally good–looking.
Unusually, Nyx refrained from praising their appearance, but in her intoxicated condition, she couldn’t hide the admiration emanating from her gaze.
No male could resist his matron looking at him like that.
Heps sat at the dining table

feeling incredibly awkward. He thought, ‘I probably shouldn’t be here, but leaving outright
After some thought, he transformed into
a ferret, hoping to sneak away unnoticed.
” he spotted him. “A little mouse.”
“Ah.” Nyx’s eyes lit up as
Heps froze, a warm feeling overwhelming him.
And sure enough, in the blink of an eye, he landed in Nyx’s embrace, inhaling her sweet scent as he was gently rubbed into a dizzy haze.
This feeling was so strange, yet so blissful for him.
A warmth he had never known surged through Heps who had never experienced motherly love.
But in less than two seconds, his happiness was abruptly cut short as Zayne grabbed him by the scruff and yanked him out

of Nyx’s arms.
Barely suppressing his jealousy, Zayne urged, “Just go ahead. Pack up whatever dishes you want from the table and take them with you.”
“Master.” Heps spoke in a barely audible voice. He had originally wanted to say a few words of farewell, but seeing that no one seemed to have the time to entertain him, he immediately gave up.
Instead, he quickly picked out a few pieces of braised chicken, packed a box of rice, drizzled some meat broth over it, and prepared his dinner before making a swift exit.
The ferret left without looking back, afraid of seeing something he shouldn’t.
Nyx opened her eyes, stared blankly for a moment, and then buried her face into the pillow, as if trying to suffocate herself.
Though she had been drunk, she hadn’t blacked out–her memories remained crystal clear. Thinking back, she felt embarrassed.
She thought, ‘Such a stupid thing have I done. It’s all due to the alcohol.
Nyx silently swore to quit drinking forever.
Exhausted beyond measure, she barely stayed awake for long before slipping back into a drowsy haze, not even bothering to drink a nutrient supplement.
Zayne performed two thorough medical scans on her. Only after confirming that everything was normal did he feel slightly reassured.
Yet Nyx remained lethargic for several days, unable to fully recover. Not only was she excessively sleepy, but she had also lost her appetite. The sight of greasy, rich foods made her nauseous.
Since the symptoms weren’t severe
and her medical checkups had shown no issues, she brushed off the oddities and chose not to tell her mates, fearing they would worry.
***** By late morning, the sun had climbed high.
Having missed breakfast, Nyx still hadn’t emerged from her room even as lunchtime approached.
Theon hesitated for a moment before knocking on her door.
Lately, Nyx had been sleeping in, but she had never slept this late before.
After knocking a few times with no response, Theon got worried. He immediately pushed the door open.
The room was empty. Nyx was nowhere to be seen.
“Nyx?” Theon searched the entire house and even checked all of Nyx’s favorite spots in the estate, but she was nowhere to be found.
He sent her a message but received no reply, so he was in a full–blown panic.
As soon as the others learned that Nyx had disappeared, they abandoned their work and rushed home, their faces dark with
worry.
Just as they were considering who could have possibly taken Nyx from right under their noses, an image simultaneously flashed through all their minds.

Chapter 187
A foreign, blue planet was there. Its technological advancement was mediocre, still far from reaching interuela confizain The inhabitants looked similar to them but lacked the ability to shift into beast form. Their physical capabilities seemed to be below E–level
“Is this the planet Nyx once lived on?” Since it was about Nyx, they reacted swiftly. They had all memorized Nyx’s descriptions of Earth, so it was easy to make the connection.
“Yes, she is there now, answered an unfamiliar voice–one that was ancient and ageless, impossible to determine if its belonged to a male or a female.
The males were shaken to their cores, thinking. Is this the Beast God?
“Can you bring Nyx back?” The males were all visibly anxious.
Not only did they fear never seeing Nyx again, but they also worried about the suffering she might endure. After all, Nyx’s past life on that planet had been anything but pleasant.
Even the Divine Tree was growing restless. “I am currently working to merge the two worlds, the Divine Tree explained “Once the process is complete, she will be able to return home.”
Nyx was its child, sharing the same source of power. Having already traveled between worlds before, she had now been locked as an anchor connecting the two. Her presence on the other side would accelerate and stabilize the fusion of both realms.
This was not the Divine Tree’s intention–it had simply been unable to intervene in time.
Now that things had come to this, forcibly retrieving Nyx would only backfire. Even if they managed to bring her back, she would likely be pulled back to the other world again, creating even more danger.
“I have left a mark on her,” the Divine Tree continued. “I can maintain a connection with her. If you have anything you wish to send to her, you may bring it to me at any time.”
“I do.” Theon shot to his feet. “Beast God, please send me to her?
