"Have you ever heard of the phrase, ‘The moon turns perfectly round on the day after mid-autumn day’?" Raven 12345’s tone was low and slow, which sounded rather serious at first. However, Hao Ren saw through her right away: She was actually trying to sound serious to hide her guilt!

"Do you know what’s on my mind?" said Hao Ren in a harsh tone as he grinded his teeth.

Raven 12345 was not afraid of him. Her voice sounded free and easy. "I know it. You want to die with me. Let me tell you, there are lots of people who want to die with me in this universe. You have to line up to the end of the world..."

Hao Ren threw the MDT aside. He had no way to deal with the neurotic, thoughtless and shameless goddess. The MDT protested loudly at the moment it was thrown away. "Can you please treasure your own device! Even if you have problems with your boss, you can't release your anger on me…"

"Everyone throws their cell phones when they lose a fight. You have no choice," Hao spoke as he squinted at it. He then waved at them and said, "Get up everybody. Let’s go back. There’s nothing we can be do today."

Hao Ren and Raven 12345 communicated telepathically and the rest of them did not hear the conversation. Y’zaks stood up in confusion. He asked curiously while he packed, "What did the goddess say to you?"

"She said, the moon turns perfectly round on the day after mid-autumn day and I was planning how to die with her…"

The rest of them were speechless.

"Why did we meet such a boss!" Even the usually gentle and polite Vivian could not help but lose her temper. After looking blank for a moment, she started packing the stuff and continued nagging. Lily was still squatting on the blanket with a mouthful of spicy strips and mineral water. Vivian became even angrier when she saw Lily looking like a loser and she said, "Doggie, can you please do something! You look like this has nothing to do with you... Get up, I’m packing stuff. Go home and eat… Doggie? Doggie, why aren't you talking?"

Vivian called Lily a few times but she did not seem to hear it. Her head was slowly drooping as if she was sleeping while eating. A few seconds later, her shoulders began to tremble and a strange voice emerged from her throat. From the previous experience, Hao Ren sensed that something was wrong instantly. He stepped forward, patted Lily on the shoulder and asked, "Lily, what's wrong with you? Do you feel sick?"

Lily trembled violently for a moment. Then, she looked up in a daze. Her golden eyes were unusually bright in the moonlight, which rippled with a glimmering halo. Her cheeks were covered in an unusual flush and her pupils were erratic. She looked like she was feeling excited after getting drunk. "Landlord... Ha... I feel a little bit... numb. Hands and feet are a bit... itchy..."

"She’s going to transform!" Hao Ren immediately remembered when he spoke to Raven 12345 two days earlier. She told him about the characteristics of Lily's evolution. He jumped back more than a meter instinctively. Vivian and Y’zaks stopped what they were doing after hearing what he said. The big demon and vampire went up to her. Vivian carefully observed Lily's eyes. She then waved everybody back and said, "It has begun, everybody retreat. She may be more dangerous than we can imagine after she evolves... It's different from what I’ve seen in other wolves."

Hao Ren looked at the moon, puzzled. "Didn’t she say ,‘The moon turns perfectly round on the day after mid-autumn day’… I really can’t trust what that crazy woman says."

Vivian attentively observed Lily's situation. Finally, her gaze fell on the last half packet of snacks in Lily's hand. It surprised her. "This is probably the first werewolf I've ever seen that evolved not because of the moonlight but, because of eating too many spicy strips..."

Even Y'zaks could not help but stagger. He packed up their things as he said, "Ever since I met you guys, I feel like the first half of my life was wasted... What I’ve experienced these past few days have been so much more than that in the first half of my life."

All of them were busy except Lily, who was almost out of control. Vivian packed up their stuff too while Y’zaks ran to an open area about a hundred meters away. He sketched something on the ground and summoned some green runes. Hao Ren remembered the instruction given by Raven 12345. He set the MDT to reconnaissance mode, circled it around Lily a couple of times and began to gather information of the energy field nearby. This was one of the reports he needed to hand in to Raven 12345.

At this point in time, Lily's body had just experienced little changes but, she was sober (at least that moment, it seemed like Raven's ‘treatment’ had not gone wrong yet). Watching everybody being busy, she did not want to just sit there, doing nothing. "Landlord, what should I do?"

"You just need to sit here quietly. If you have any discomfort, remember to tell us immediately." Hao Ren gestured Lily to sit down and then he threw the MDT on the ground nearby and said, "You just stay there as a detector."

The MDT shouted immediately, "Hey, wait! What if she loses control after turning into a beast and eats me?"

Hao Ren agreed. It was said that werewolves would have a strong appetite after transforming and they would eat whatever they could get. Thus, he ran to Vivian to get a few pieces of stomach medication and gave them to Lily. "Take them. Eat two pieces when you have indigestion. They absolutely work."

The MDT could only say, "… Damn you…"

Everything was quickly tidied up. Vivian packed up and brought them to the defense area, which Y’zaks sketched out with the demonic runes. There was only one blanket left at Lily's feet. At that moment, the unusual phenomena around the werewolf maiden had become apparent to ordinary people. A passive cyclone swirled around her. The abnormal radiance of green light glowed in the rapidly growing whirlwind. Hao Ren could feel a burst of alternating hot and cold air while he stood 20 meters away from Lily. They could not go any farther. The green whirlwind was as sharp as a blade and the gravel on the ground would have been broken into half just from touching the cyclone. The blanket at Lily's feet had been cut like a mosquito coil. Hao Ren was not yet ready to compare the hardness of his Steel Membrane Shield with Lily's sharp whirlwind...

The werewolf girl, who was the key person, stood in the middle of the unusual phenomenon. A small area beside her was extremely calm which was as safe as the eye of a typhoon. Lily was certainly not afraid of the peculiar phenomenon she had caused and she curiously observed the cyclone around her. When she found that she could slightly control it, she immediately cheered up and said, "Landlord! I can unleash magic too! Battie can't say I'm stupid anymore!"

The remark showed that her mind was still restrained...

Hao Ren made a gesture of encouragement to Lily and ran to the safe zone a hundred meters away. The so-called ‘safe zone’ was a prototype space covered with green demonic runes. Y’zaks used the runes to conjure up a layer of protection from the air. The runes floated in the air a few centimeters off the ground and kept moving as if they were alive. Although it looked a little scary, there was no need to worry about the protection.

"The momentum is very strong. The werewolf of your world is really an interesting creature. It will even go through such an explosive growth. Y’zaks stood in the middle of the runes, holding his arms up and watching Lily's condition with great interest. "Hmm... something’s changing..."

Pretty much just as Y’zaks finished speaking, the cyclone around Lily burst out all of a sudden!

The scene was like heavy bullets crashing onto the ground. The originally ‘gentle’, green whirlwind unexpectedly exploded in all directions after an abrupt contraction. Countless green shock waves spread out from the center, where Lily was. The shock waves were massive and threw sand as well as stones everywhere. An entire layer of the ground was abruptly cut down in a fraction of one second. The demonic array where the three of them stood in suddenly burst into an intense beam. All the runes rose up into the air. A layer of green shield blocked the shock waves that rushed at them just in time. However, the situation outside the shield was completely obscured.

The distance of 100 meters seemed a little too close to Lily. Y ‘zaks's judgment of Lily's power was wrong. The three of them were basically in the radius of the blast…

"Awwooooooooooo…"

Suddenly, they heard a distant howling coming from the clouds and the surrounding shock waves instantly subsided. Y’zaks removed the shields and Vivian blew away all the haze with her gale. Then, an astonishing scene materialized before them.

The flat ground had become unrecognizable. In front of Hao Ren was a flat concave ground with the radius of 100 meters. The green shock waves had cut the area abruptly into a bowl-shaped pit and he was standing at the edge of the pit.

A giant beast stood tall and upright in the middle of the pit.

The beast was seven or eight meters tall. Despite standing on all fours, she looked as strong and powerful as Y’zaks in his demon form. Her hair was as white as snow with some black markings on her face and shoulders. This was the completely evolved Lily.

Hao Ren's eyes first fell on her ears and tail. The upright triangular ears and snow-white wagging tail were exactly the same as the ones Lily had in human form. It was simply the same Lily who had been magnified many times.

"Why do I feel that...she looks a little bit different from a wolf?" Vivian could not help but mutter after she tilted her head and looked at Lily for a long time.

Lily was still immersed in the excitement of her complete evolution. She looked up at the round moon. Again, she howled loudly and powerfully, "Awwooooooooooo… Woof!"

Vivian finally clapped her hands and said, "Isn't that a husky?!"
