Nyx thought, ‘Cotton Candy isn’t a Beastman, so how can it have black mist?‘ Before she could think further, she completely passed out.
The Intelligent Brain detected the abnormal state of its owner and immediately sent an alert to the emergency contact. Zayne, receiving the alert in the lab, immediately changed his expression.
He shoved the experimental reagent he was working on into Chris’s hands, barely having time to request leave, and rushed
out.
“Hey- Chris called him, but couldn’t stop him. He shook his head and scolded, “That brat!”
He then said, “Forget it; there must be an emergency. I won’t count this as him skipping work this time.”
The villa was equipped with a constant temperature system, so the floor wasn’t cold. But the fragile female lay with her eyes closed on the hard floor, looking pitiful and sad.
The little white cat kept sniffing around the unconscious Nyx, its mewing filled with urgency and sorrow.
Normally, Nyx would have been gently patting its head, soothing it.
But now, as it cried so miserably, Nyx remained silent, her steady breathing being the only sign of life.
The little cat lightly tapped Nyx with its paw, then licked her face, its soft head nudging against her.
Nyx lay still; no matter what the cat tried, it couldn’t wake her up.
The little white cat, hoarse from calling, didn’t get any response. Its large eyes filled with tears as it curled up, looking utterly defeated.
In just a few moments, its body rapidly expanded, transforming into a large White Tiger with piercing eyes and an intimidating presence.
If Nyx had been awake at this moment, she would have surely thought she was dreaming.
The White Tiger had a massive physique and a solemn, cold expression. But every move it made showed a hint of its previous, careful demeanor when it was a little cat in Nyx’s arms. It gently tried to pull Nyx by her clothes, attempting to move her to the bed.
It thought, ‘She should be lying in a soft and comfortable place, not here!’
Nyx’s skin was delicate, and the White Tiger, with its sharp claws and teeth, was careful not to hurt her. Yet, in an accidental moment, it tore a piece of her clothing. After several attempts from different angles, it still couldn’t succeed.
It felt so helpless that it wanted to cry over its uselessness.
After struggling for a long time, unable to wake Nyx, the White Tiger roared in frustration and suddenly turned to run out
of the house.
It kept looking back, its eyes filled with sorrow as it stared deeply at Nyx, as if trying to imprint her image in its heart. Finally, with gritted teeth, it made up its mind and ran towards the Palace, guided by its memories.
Something in its mind told it that there, it would find someone to save its owner.

When Nyx woke up, she saw a familiar yet strange figure.
She was still drowsy and not fully awake, so she leaned in to hug the figure, mumbling, “You’re back? Theon-
The man being hugged stiffened, but quickly returned the embrace, asking with concern. “Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
His deep, magnetic voice startled Nyx, causing her to fully wake up.
So it wasn’t Theon.
She immediately tried to jump off the man’s body but was held tightly, unable to move. Stammering, she greeted, “Feln? What are you doing here?”
It was all Theon and Felix’s fault–this uncle and nephew pair looked so alike that she couldn’t tell them apart for a moment
But she wondered why Felix wouldn’t let go of her.
The man’s brow ridge was deep, his eyes dark and calm, with every movement exuding an air of steadiness and composed confidence. His large hand wrapped around Nyx’s waist, and Nyx could clearly feel the heat and power of his palm.
His presence and pressure could be so strong that the video couldn’t even show a fraction of it.
Just by sitting there, Felix naturally emanated the aura of someone in power, and even though he tried to appear harmless, Nyx was still impacted, her legs weakening slightly.
“Don’t move,” Felix stopped her from struggling, then realized his tone had been too harsh and apologized, saying, “Your mental fluctuations are temporarily unstable; it’s better for you to rest a little longer
Seeing Nyx’s confused look, Zayne walked out of the study holding a few medical reports and handed them to her. “During your coma, I had you checked three times. The results were almost identical, so they should be accurate.
The reports clearly showed that Nyx’s mental fluctuations had increased again, and the current value was now firmly in the S–level range.
It had been many years since the empire had seen such a high mental power from a female. And Nyx hadn’t even fully awakened yet–when she did, it would only be higher, meaning SS–level!
His bold speculation before had actually become a reality.
The moment Zayne received the medical report, he was stunned for a long time.
He texted Theon: [Can you protect an SS–level female?] Not A–level, not even S–level–an SS–level female, something the empire had never seen.
Nyx would be the empire’s one and only treasure, and protecting her, no matter how much, would never be too much. Even if Theon and Zayne swore to protect her with their lives, it still wouldn’t be enough.
That was why Felix received the message and appeared here.
Felix touched Nyx’s hair, as soft as he had imagined, and for the first time, his heart felt unexpectedly soft.
He knelt on one knee in front of Nyx, gazing up at her seriously, and once again asked, “I want to be your guardian, to protect and care for you. Can you grant me a chance?”

Chapter 41
This scene felt almost like a proposal.
Nyx coughed lightly and straightened her posture nervously.

Speaking face–to–face felt so different from texting. Faced with Felix’s humble gesture, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him and gently nodded,
Felix took her hand and kissed the back of it.
The angle from above gave a strong sense of dominance, and Felix’s posture was so sincere that for a moment, Nyx felt as though Felix had bowed down before her, as if he were entranced.
She quickly shook her head, dismissing that absurd thought.
She thought, ‘No matter who might fall for me, Felix would never love me!
To ease the awkwardness, Nyx looked around. “Where’s Cotton Candy?”
Since waking up, she hadn’t seen Cotton Candy at all.
The little cat, who loved sticking to her, had always been with her from morning to night, so why hadn’t it come over to meow at her?
The black mist she had seen on the kitten just before falling unconscious had been dismissed as a mere illusion by Nyx and forgotten.
She asked Zayne, “Have you seen Cotton Candy?”
Zayne hesitated, unsure how to tell her.
When he rushed back, the front door of the villa had been open, and there was no sign of the cat.
If he told her it had run away, he was afraid that Nyx would be heartbroken.
