The viewers in the live stream were absolutely stunned, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads. They were all shocked by Nyx’s actions of holding Zayne. After all, Zayne’s beast form was a wolf!
Wolves had always ranked high on the empire’s list of least favored beast forms for females. When it came to choosing a spouse, females tended to look at factors like power, status, genetic level, and wealth. Carnivorous males usually excelled in these areas, which made them more attractive to females.
But there was a catch. Females actually preferred the more docile herbivorous males. They were less aggressive, didn’t give off that overwhelming, oppressive vibe, and were gentle and submissive.
Once bonded, males were legally bound by the empire law and could never betray their Matron. As a result, females could freely spoil whichever consort they pleased. Carnivorous males often ended up on the bottom rung of the family hierarchy.
Lions, wolves, and leopards were the classic examples of males who had high status before marriage but low status afterward, and who were dominant outside the home but lowly within it.
No female would ever willingly get close to a wolf, but now, Nyx had just shattered that belief.
Of course, most of the viewers in the live stream were Nyx’s fans, so after a brief moment of shock, they quickly snapped back to reality.
If it was Nyx, it wasn’t so strange at all. After all, this was the same female who wasn’t afraid to handle a venomous, rampaging black mamba.
The snow wolf might look cold and intimidating, but the feeling of embracing it was soft and warm. Nyx practically sank into its thick fur, overwhelmed by a wave of happiness.
It took her moment to snap back to her senses, but once she did, she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even look up. Her long lashes fluttered like crazy.
The snow wolf, with his gray–blue eyes gleaming with amusement, lowered his head and offered her a tray with the sandwiches he had made. “Did I make it well, Nykie?”
Nyx knew full well he was teasing her, but she couldn’t bring herself to resist. She could be tough and cold with Zayne, but when it came to this talking, charming white wolf, she just couldn’t say no.
Without thinking, she wrapped both hands around the snow wolf’s head and snuggled closer. Honestly, Zayne’s sandwiches looked amazing with every detail precise and perfect. Nyx couldn’t help but admire it and patted the wolf’s head a few times in appreciation.
The viewers in the chat were absolutely green with envy, their eyes practically turning red with jealousy. All of them wished they could crawl out of the screen and take the wolf’s place.
But the most jealous one was Theon. He glared as the snow wolf cozied up to Nyx, wagging its tail and trying to get her attention. Having known Zayne for years, Theon had never seen him act so shamelessly.
But then again, Theon thought if this was the way to get close to Nyx…
Theon’s ears turned pink as he felt a wave of shame wash over him, but he didn’t hesitate. He shifted into his beast form and nudged his way over to Nyx, trying to worm his way into her affection just like the snow wolf.
There he was, a majestic lion in front of her, trying to push his head into Nyx’s hands, just like a giant furry baby.

Now, Nyx was caught between the wolf and the lion, both vying for her attention. She was completely helpless, even forgetting that she was still live streaming. Lost in the softness of the moment, she couldn’t pull herself together.
The chat went wild, utterly stunned and jealous by the sight.
[I can’t even imagine what it would be like if my female liked my beast form this much… I’d be so happy…“]
[My beast form is also a wolf. Can Nyx pet me too?]
[I can tell Nyx really likes them. Her eyes are sparkling…]
[Darn it! I’m so jealous…]
[When will I ever get to live this dream?]
[How I wish other females could be as gentle as Nyx…]
[Too bad there’s only one Nyx… Alas…]
Many viewers had already sent their partner applications to Nyx but had received no response. They had long since accepted the cold reality of their chances. Still, seeing this scene unfold made their jealousy flare up again
Every male watching couldn’t help but wish they were the ones like Theon and Zayne, who could transform into their beast forms and end up cradled in her arms.
While Nyx wasn’t paying attention, the live stream chat slowly turned into a matchmaking contest. Countless males flooded the chat and sent private messages with their personal info, desperately trying to catch her attention.
By the time Nyx finally noticed, she was startled. She ignored countless applications and cleared her throat awkwardly. “Let’s get back to making sandwiches,” she said, trying to steer things back to the task at hand.
The competition between the two males was seriously messing with the progress. It was almost breakfast time, and they’d barely made a few sandwiches.
Luckily, both Theon and Zayne were incredibly reliable when they got serious about something. They worked at lightning speed and made the sandwiches even faster than machines could do it–without any help from Nyx.
As they kept working, Theon prepared a cup of milk for Nyx, making sure she would still get her breakfast on time.
The sandwiches looked perfect and delicious, making everyone watching go “aww“. Since it was Nyx’s idea to make them, the viewers were all over it, showering praise for her creativity.
However, to be honest, most of them weren’t expecting much of its flavor. They thought a sandwich couldn’t really be that impressive. It probably wouldn’t taste bad, but it wasn’t exactly going to blow anyone’s mind.
That thought lasted the first batch of sandwiches was neatly placed on the tray.
The steam from the freshly baked toast rose in a swirl, and a wave of warmth and rich aromas hit them all at once.
The toast was crispy with just the right amount of sauce. Taking a bite, savory meat juice burst out, mingling with sweet tomato slice and fried egg that made it so flavorful to dominate the eaters’s taste buds.
The Intelligent Brain was able to detect the smell and simulate it for the viewers, so they could virtually “smell” the deliciousness. But unfortunately, they couldn’t taste it no matter how much they begged. They were left drooling, staring as Nyx lovingly fed one sandwich to both Theon and Zayne.

Those two guys were so satisfied that they forgot all about trying to keep up appearances. They dug in, barely taking a breath before finishing the sandwich. But it was too small for their appetites, so Nyx gave them each another.
“Go ahead. Have more,” Nyx smiled at them, her eyes crinkling in happiness.
With her appetite, she could have eaten up to two sandwiches, but since there were thirty in total, she was more than happy to let the two big eaters handle the rest. Watching them enjoy it so much made her equally delighted.
Nyx turned her gaze to the screen, seeing the viewers practically losing it. The chat was filled with comments begging her to unlock the replay so they could watch it and follow the recipe, hoping to replicate the taste for themselves.
Nyx smiled at them and said, “Actually, I’m doing this live stream to thank all of you. I’ll randomly pick 100 viewers and send them a sandwich.”
Nyx felt a little embarrassed about offering sandwiches as a prize, which seemed kinda cheap, but she had no idea how excited the viewers were getting.
After all, a female offering gifts to males was unheard of in the entire empire!
[Pick me! Please!]
[Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!]
[I really need that sandwich. If I don’t get it, I’ll die from depression.]
[Bless me, Beast God!]
Hundreds of billions of viewers were fighting for just 100 spots, so the odds were astronomically low.
At the Military Headquarters Building….
It was just around the time when everyone was supposed to be getting to work, when suddenly there were some low moans
side…” and whines: “I missed it!“, “Me neither!“, “Luck is never on my
“What the hell are you all doing?” A cold voice, sharp like a blade, cut through the chatter.
The clerks instantly froze, their heads tingling in fear. They were caught red–handed–sneaking a peek at Nyx’s live stream while on the clock, and now their supervisor, Felix, had caught them.
Felix looked down at them with that cold, intimidating glare. “You guys are watching Nyx’s live stream?”
