Chapter 188
“Is it possible?” The males looked at the Divine Tree with hopeful eyes.
They all wanted to be by their beloved Nyx’s side.
The Divine Tree remained silent for a long time before agreeing, “Yes.”
But its power was limited and couldn’t be wasted carelessly–it could only send two people to accompany Nyx at most.
After some discussion and competition, the other spot was given to Erik.
The others held important positions and couldn’t disappear for too long, making Theon and Erik the most suitable choices.
The sun was blazing. The racetrack was filled with noise and excitement.
A few wealthy nepo babies who enjoyed horse racing had organized the event. Out of a desire to show off, they hadn’t cleared the venue.
A large crowd had gathered to watch, with some taking photos and even livestreaming.
Even the noisy surroundings failed to wake Nyx. She lay on the soft grass nearby, sleeping soundly.
That was until an intense sense of danger jolted Nyx awake.
She sat up abruptly, not bothering to figure out where she was, and followed the sound of the disturbance.
A tall, white horse was charging forward as fast as fast could be. The man riding it was clearly unable to control the horse, bouncing around in terror, about to be thrown off.
At such high speed, falling would mean at best broken bones and, at worst, death.
There was no time to waste–Nyx quickly whistled in that direction.
The white horse’s attention was immediately caught, and it changed direction, charging straight toward her.
“Who’s that?”
“Where did this girl come from?”
“Is she crazy? Doesn’t she know she could be trampled to death?”
The crowd gasped in shock, unable to comprehend why someone would rush toward danger.
The livestream chat was filled with curses.
[What the hell is this woman doing?]
[Shit. Did she just provoke Hill?]
[Holy shit.]
[Is she insane?]
[If she wants to die, fine, but don’t drag my prince charming down with her.]

Chapter 188
(If Archie really gets hurt, the Cook family will definitely kill this crazy woman.]
(Noooo.]
Archie Cook on the horse saw that he was about to collide with someone and yanked the reins with all his might.
His own injuries didn’t matter to him, but if he ended up killing someone, his dad would beat him to death.
Whether it was due to his grip on the reins or not, the white horse, Hill, seemed to slow down slightly.
But the crisis wasn’t over–Archie couldn’t keep his legs tight enough to maintain balance, and his body started tilting.
Suddenly, Nyx reached out and steadied him. She had timed it perfectly–she flipped onto the horse and yanked the man back just as he was about to fall.
Ever since her body had recovered, she had become far more agile than most humans on Earth. Those enhancement serums had pushed her physical abilities far beyond the norm. She was used to riding alongside her mate in beast form- handling a mere horse was effortless.
“Easy, easy… whoa-” Nyx commanded the horse steadily.
The white horse seemed to understand and slowed down even more.
As Nyx shifted her weight back and gently pulled the reins, the horse gradually came to a stop.
Still catching his breath, Archie hurriedly jumped down. He landed awkwardly, twisting his ankle, but the sheer relief left him too weak to care–he just collapsed to the ground.
He looked up at Nyx as his savior.
Nyx had appeared out of nowhere and was now sitting atop the white horse, her exquisite features bathed in sunlight, as breathtaking as a painting.
In that daze, Archie felt his heart skipping a beat.
Little girls dreamed of meeting a prince on a white horse–he had just met a princess. To be more exact, she was like a goddess to him.
The wild and untamable Hill, who had always been a nightmare in his hands, was as docile as a lamb under Nyx’s. “Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?” Nyx spoke to him, and just as he expected, her voice was beautiful.
Archie remained in a trance, unable to respond.
After the butler and a few friends helped him up, he quickly called out to Nyx before she left, hoping to add her on WhatsApp.
After all this time, hearing the name of this app again felt strangely unfamiliar to Nyx.
“I don’t have WhatsApp.” She shook her head.
Archie thought this was just an excuse to reject him, but he refused to give up. “Then can I have your phone number? I promise I won’t bother you. You know who I am, right? I’m Archie Cook.”
As the sole heir of the prestigious Cook Group, he had never been one to keep a low profile. With his high public visibility, hardly anyone didn’t recognize him.
Nyx had heard of his name before, but she never paid attention to him. She had no idea what he looked like, only that he had a lot of fangirls.

Chapter 189
Archic was indeed good–looking. With his privileged background and bachelor status, he was a rare catch–naturally
attractive to wornen
But Nyx had long been spoiled by her mates. In her eyes, Archie was utterly ordinary.
She calmly shook her head. I don’t have a phone
Before she crossed over, she had been fleeing from a forced marriage. Her phone and identification documents had been confiscated by that family long ago and were no longer in her possession
Archie was rendered speechless, and he was severely shaken. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to pursue a woman, only to be rejected so brunally.
Just as Nyx was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard the voice of the Divine Tree, causing her steps to halt. “Nyx. don’t be afraid.”
The Divine Tree explained the reason for her return to Earth, soothing her emotions and reassuring her not to panic. It promised her that it would accelerate the process of merging the two worlds.
Nyx felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders and let out a long breath.
As long as the two worlds merged, she could go home.
“One more thing,” the Divine Tree added. “Your two mates, Theon and Erik, will soon be by your side.”
Nyx was stunned. She thought, ‘Is it really necessary to drag them into this? Earth is actually quite safe:
But since the Divine Tree had already brought them here, she could only nod. “Alright.”
Having her mates with her would certainly make her happier.
Nyx came back to her senses and found Archie staring at her excitedly. “Really?”
“What?” asked Nyx.
“Dinner. Didn’t you just agree?” Archie’s smile stiffened as he clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture. “Please, give me a chance to thank you.
Nyx was rendered speechless. She couldn’t exactly tell him that she hadn’t been talking to him just now.
“If you really want to thank me, do me a favor,” she said after some thought.
“What is it? Just say it.” Archie nodded immediately.
Nyx answered, “Help me find a place to live. I’ll pay you rent.”
Without an ID, finding a place to stay was a bit of a hassle for her.
“Okay, no problem. No need for rent,” Archie agreed without hesitation, not even questioning why she needed his help. “What kind of place do you want?” Even a villa or a seaside apartment was no problem for him.
“Somewhere with good privacy, and big enough for three people.” Nyx only had these two requirements.
With the housing issue settled, she suddenly remembered another pressing problem. She had just been broadcast live. If that family saw her, they would definitely come looking for trouble.
Nyx thought for a moment and switched Intelligent Brain into operational mode. Putting on an earpiece, she whispered to the AI system, “Search for ways to legally sever ties with adoptive parents.”

Despite her being in a different world, it was easy for advanced technology to infiltrate a less–developed one. The Intelligent Brain quickly connected to Earth’s networks and databases. Within two seconds, it returned with results.
The first part contained legal procedures for terminating an adoption. The second part was a collection of criminal evidence.
As Nyx listened, her expression grew more and more complicated. She thought, ‘Human trafficking? I was purchased by that family from traffickers?
