"From now on, you'd better answer my questions honestly," Zayne said, poking the little rabbit's fluffy head with a finger. “Otherwise, I'll feed you poisonous grass. Your stomach will hurt, and you'll die."

As he spoke, he tapped the table again. Several oddly shaped plants were placed beside his hand.

At first glance, they looked intimidating, but upon closer inspection, Nyx realized they were all non-toxic and even beneficial herbs.

Each one was fresh and carefully washed, with water droplets still clinging to them.

Nyx was speechless. Looking up at Zayne, who was seriously threatening her with these, she almost laughed but managed to hold it in, lowering her head and trembling slightly.

Zayne thought she was terrified and frowned, adding, "As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I'll let you go. Which tribe sent you? What's your purpose here? How do you know my name? Who told you?"

A barrage of questions followed, but Nyx couldn't answer any of them. She could only sit there obediently, tilting her little head up to appear as docile and well-behaved as possible. Her silent, deliberately cute demeanor only made Zayne think she was playing dumb.

He thought, 'You're quite tight-lipped, huh? That makes it even more suspicious.

He casually grabbed a medicinal herb and threateningly held it to the little rabbit's mouth. “If you don't talk, I'll make you eat this."

Before he could finish, Nyx decisively bit into the herb, crunching and swallowing it in a few bites, thinking, 'Eat it? Fine. I am a bit hungry anyway!

After turning into a little rabbit, eating these herbs didn't taste bitter at all; in fact, they were quite delicious. After finishing one herb, Nyx wasn't satisfied and dove into the pile of herbs, continuing to munch away.

She ate with relish, but Zayne was thoroughly shocked. Coming to his senses, he tremblingly cupped Nyx's face and sternly asked, “Do you know what this is? How dare you eat it so casually?"

Thankfully, he hadn't actually taken out any poisonous herbs to scare her, or the consequences would have been unthinkable. Just thinking about that scenario made Zayne feel a strong sense of dread.

Still chewing on the herb, Nyx looked at him with innocent eyes. "Didn't you tell me to eat it?"

Meeting her round, wide eyes, Zayne deflated and helplessly rubbed his forehead, thinking, Whatever. She really is a silly little rabbit.

Maybe she wasn't sent by anyone at all, but was abandoned by her family or tribe because she was too naive, and ended up wandering here. As for how she knew his name, she probably overheard someone in the tribe mentioning it.

In just two minutes, Zayne had already come up with all the reasons for the little rabbit's behavior.

"What's your name?” he asked, softening his tone.

This was a question Nyx could finally answer. "Nyx Voss. You can call me Nyx."

Zayne felt uncomfortable with her casual familiarity. They had just met, and she was already calling him so intimately. It didn't seem appropriate.

He opened his mouth, hesitated a few times, but ultimately gave in to his true feelings and softly called out, "Nyx. Do you remember where your home is?"

Nyx shook her head, then nodded, happily snuggling into his arms. “It's right here.”

She thought Zayne's home was her home.

Zayne fell silent. A visible red flush spread from his cars to his entire face, then down to his neck. He felt like something was wrong with his body; his heart was pounding wildly, as if a little rabbit was bouncing around inside his chest.

After a long while, he managed to regain his composure, pulled Nyx out of his arms, placed her back on the table, and took two steps back. "Don't talk nonsense."

Using his now-calm mind, he reinterpreted the little rabbit's words, guessing that she might want to stay in the tribe and consider it her home.

This is the wolf tribe, but there are also some other Beastmen who have settled here." Zayne steered the conversation back on track. “If you want to stay, it's not impossible."

The wolf tribe wasn't opposed to outsiders joining. However, most of the other Beastmen who lived here were with their wolf tribe mates. A little rabbit like her, with no clear background and no acquaintances in the tribe, was a first.

Zayne frowned. For the safety of the tribe, he couldn't let her stay so casually. At the very least, there should be an observation period, with someone assigned to live with her and monitor her to ensure she was truly harmless.noveldrama

As for who would be responsible for monitoring her, Zayne thought and thought but couldn't come up with a suitable person he could trust.

"From today on, you'll live here with me. Don't run around," he coughed lightly, deciding to take on the task himself. Since he was the one who brought this little rabbit to the tribe, he should be responsible for everything concerning her.

Though his tone was commanding and final, Zayne felt uneasy inside, secretly observing Nyx's reaction, wondering if she would refuse.

Nyx had no objections and obediently nodded. "Okay.” This outcome was exactly what she had expected. "I'm a bit hungry." She openly flipped over her fluffy belly, asking Zayne for food. "Do you have anything to eat?"

The few herbs she had eaten earlier hadn't filled her up; instead, they had whetted her appetite. Having just arrived in this world and already been chased twice, she had expended too much energy and needed to replenish it.

Considering her beast form was too small for a proper meal, she tried to transform into her human form. The first attempt failed. The second attempt also failed.

Nyx rolled around, the more she tried, the more frustrated she became, kicking her legs in irritation. No wonder Chubby used to cry when he couldn't transform into his human form as a child.

"What's wrong?" Zayne noticed her strange behavior and nervously picked her up. "Are you feeling unwell?"

He thought, 'Could it be that those herbs she ate earlier were problematic? Was there really some poisonous herb mixed in?""

Zayne began to doubt himself, his usually calm mind now blank, beads of cold sweat forming on his nose. “Quick, tell me, where does it hurt? Is it your stomach?"

Nyx, finally sensing a bit of progress, couldn't spare the focus to answer. She held her breath, concentrating all her energy, and with one final push.

Suddenly, the little rabbit in his palms grew heavier, her small form rapidly expanding into a human. Zayne instinctively tightened his hold.

The fluffy texture disappeared, replaced by a silky smoothness. Perhaps worried about falling, she clung tightly to him, her arms wrapped around his neck, her legs gripping him firmly.

Zayne's scalp tingled. Even with all the language he had ever learned, he couldn't describe this feeling, Sensing his body stiffen, his muscles tensing like steel, Nyx looked up at him.
