Kuber skinned the black tiger in one piece and tossed it into his storage space. He then returned to little A Luo’s side.

Watching the unconscious wolf girl, he recalled the fluffy sensation from their first encounter. An itch of temptation suddenly stirred in his chest.

He swallowed hard, a bold idea forming in his mind.

“A Luo? A Luo?”

He shook the small wolf girl vigorously on the ground, but she showed no sign of waking.

*“I’m just checking for injuries! Absolutely no ulterior motives!”*

Muttering this self-reassurance, Kuber reached out a guilty hand toward A Luo, his heart pounding so hard he felt his blood pressure spike.

First, he gently pinched her soft, slightly fuzzy cheeks—delightfully touchable!

Next, her ears: fluffy yet firm to the touch. As he stroked them, he fought the urge to take a playful bite.

Carefully lifting the hem of her top, he saw her small body covered in one-centimeter-long fur. Unlike the brown fur elsewhere, her belly was dusted with softer white fluff. His fingers drifted toward her chest, brushing over two faint, raised bumps.

A Luo stirred, letting out a faint, breathy whimper.

*“Mmm…”*

Kuber froze, cold sweat breaking across his skin. When he realized she hadn’t woken, he exhaled sharply. *If she’d caught me… no way to clear my name.*

He moved to her palms, discovering five tiny paw pads like a cat’s—soft, springy, and strangely addictive.

Her furry little legs followed. As a wolfkin, her hind limbs resembled a wolf’s entirely—no wonder she fled on all fours. Her paw pads were no bigger than a cat’s, dotted like plum blossoms. Kuber wondered how she even walked upright.

He lightly tickled one paw. A Luo’s leg jerked reflexively.

Most intoxicating was her all-natural fragrance—a sweet, clean scent clinging to every inch of her. Kuber inhaled deeply, hooked. *A boy smelling this good? Unbelievable!*

Unlike the perfumed scents of the older beastkin ladies at the “Yaren Home,” this was pure, untainted body fragrance.

Kuber straightened up, pretending innocence. With a snap of his fingers, he cast a refreshing spell.

A Luo’s eyes flew open instantly. Rubbing them, she spotted the skinned tiger nearby and gasped.

“You did this, big brother?”

“Yep! Pretty impressive, huh? Hahahaha~”

Kuber’s grin was sheepish, his laughter hollow.
