Chen Zhao saw thick fur grow out of Cheryl’s arm and neck.

“Cheryl, you’re quite hairy… Did you rub hair growth shampoo on you?”

Cheryl turned toward Chen Zhao. Her eyes weren’t that friendly anymore. They held some wildness, along with restraint.

“F*ck off!”

Cheryl tried hard to keep calm, but Chen Zhao was too annoying.

I’m a different species. It’s not an overgrowth of hair, alright?

Chen Zhao immediately took a step back in case Cheryl really lost control.

“Cheryl, stop holding back,” Yucis urged. “You can’t defeat your wildness. Face your true self!”

“Shut up!” Cheryl charged at Yucis again. This time, she was faster and more aggressive.

The tumor shook powerfully and sent Cheryl flying. But this time, Cheryl’s sharp claws pressed against the walls. She adjusted her direction and pounced on Yucis again.

Whoosh—

Yucis’ face was scratched open, but Cheryl got bitten on the shoulder by the tumor worm. It shook and sent Cheryl flying toward Chen Zhao.

He grabbed her. “Cheryl, are you okay?”

“I’ll stop her. You run.”

“No, you can’t do it. Let me do it.” Chen Zhao looked at Yucis. “Mrs. Yucis, I advise you to turn and run right now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

“Mr. Chen, I’d really like to see what kind of consequences I can’t handle.” Yucis wasn’t easily scared by Chen Zhao.

Cheryl rolled her eyes. “You think that can scare her?”

“Fine.” Chen Zhao looked Yucis a bit helplessly. He couldn’t deal with this old witch. However, he took out the Bloody Hunter’s ritual implement.

“Do you know what this is?”

“What?”

A light fog started seeping in. A huge figure appeared within the fog. Cheryl and Yucis both looked fearfully at the figure. Slowly, the fog gathered in one place and the Bloody Hunter stood before them.

Cheryl took a step back. “Were…werewolf?”

A whole werewolf?

“Huh, another ba…mixblood,” the Bloody Hunter corrected himself when he saw Cheryl in Chen Zhao’s arms.

“Bloody Hunter, do you know what that is?” Chen Zhao asked, pointing at Yucis.

“She should be a poisoned soul suffering from the backlash of a curse.”

“What does that mean? Explain in layman terms and don’t use professional terms.” Chen Zhao thought that Yucis had been infected by some Hell creature and that she could still be saved.

Judging by the Bloody Hunter’s tone, it didn’t seem to be the case.

“She used a spell she shouldn’t have used. She lost control and was cursed by it. Her soul and body have both been tainted by the negativity, or became a poisoned soul, in other words.”

“Can she still be saved?”

“She’s still her,” the Bloody Hunter said. “There’s no saving to be done.”

“Then kill her.”

The tumor worm on Yucis’ back pointed at the Bloody Hunter. “A purer werewolf. It seems like you’re more suitable to become my body.”

When the Bloody Hunter heard Yucis, he laughed in anger. He was different from a mixblood like Cheryl. Plus, Cheryl was the kind that hadn’t activated her bloodline yet.

The Bloody Hunter attacked directly. The tumor on Yucis’ back also gnashed right at the Bloody Hunter.

The Bloody Hunter’s huge claws swept across. A chunk of the tumor flew immediately. The Bloody Hunter’s claw sank into Yucis’ neck, but Cheryl’s heart squeezed.

“No…”

She still had feelings for Yucis, even though Yucis had become a different person.

Chen Zhao glanced at Cheryl. “She can’t stay. She’s already a monster.”

Cheryl’s tears flowed out without stop. The Bloody Hunter’s claws dug in. That moment, Yucis looked as if she’d been relieved. Green liquid spewed out of the tumor.

Falling onto the ground, Yucis’ eyes remained trained on Cheryl… Her lips quivered, as if saying “sorry.”

The Bloody Hunter was very strong. He was a natural warrior, which an amateur like Yucis couldn’t compare to. Of course, Cheryl couldn’t compare to him either.

…

Chen Zhao and Cheryl found two incomplete corpses in the empty orphanage. To make sure Yucis wouldn’t be a criminal in death, Cheryl burned the entire orphanage to ashes with a torch.

She cried very, very hard.

This had been her home and now, she’d destroyed it with her own hands. Her only family had died before her eyes too.

“Cheryl.” Chen Zhao patted her shoulder.

“Go away.” Cheryl was upset with him and shook his hand away.

“No, listen to me…”

“I don’t want to listen.”

“Then you can stay here. The police will be here soon anyway. You can tell them that you set the orphanage on fire. Just don’t rat me out.”

Chen Zhao turned to leave, but Cheryl called him immediately. “Wait.”

“What?”

“I want to help you work. You saw that I have werewolf blood. I can help you do a lot of things you can’t.”

“You’re not going back to the orphanage?”

“I don’t want to. The administrator isn’t nice.”

“But there’s nothing you can do for me.”

“Fine.” Cheryl turned to leave.

Looking at her backside, Chen Zhao had a headache. “Wait.”

Cheryl’s back was to Chen Zhao, but her lips curled up in a devilish smile.

“I have a spiritualist friend. I’ll ask if she wants to hire you.”

“A spiritualist? Like you?”

“I’m a doctor, not a spiritualist,” Chen Zhao corrected. Then he called Sienna. “Sienna.”

“What? Fali just called me saying her call to you won’t go through and asked if I knew where you are. You still haven’t gone home?”

“I ran into some trouble. Right now, I have a weregirl by my side. She’s strong. Are you interested?”

“A werewolf? An actual werewolf? You’re saying that you met a werewolf?”

“She doesn’t have a home and needs someone to hire her. If you’re uninterested, don’t come over.”

“Yes, I’m interested. Where are you? I’ll go find you two. My team needs a strong werewolf.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, but you have to promise that your weregirl is strong enough.”

“Definitely. She’s definitely strong and violent.”
