Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Snow Wolf’s massive figure exuded an overwhelming presence, making it difficult for anyone to approach him easily.

Besides, Zayne was known across the entire continent for his cold and stern personality, making people even more hesitant to offend him.

But now, everyone sau intimidating aura.

with their own eyes that a tiny rabbit was perched on his head, completely ruining his aloof and Staring at this absurd scene, the crowd couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

“Where did that rabbit come from?”

“Did Zayne catch it as emergency rations?”

“No way. Who lets their food sit on their head?”

“Could it be a Beastman?”

“Huh? Are you serious?”

The thought, ‘Rabbits are naturally afraid of wolves. Logically speaking, no rabbit would be bold enough to sit on top of a wolf’s head. But then, how can anyone explain why the great Shaman allows another Beastman to step on his head? That is an absolute insult. Unless... it is his family or his mate.’

Zayne’s background wasn’t a secret. Almost everyone who knew him was aware that he had been alone since childhood–no parents, no family.

One by one, they ruled out the possibilities, leaving only the last option.

“Could it be his mate?” After a long silence, someone finally spoke.

“Uh... no way. How is that even possible?” people asked.

Compared to a mate, it seemed more likely that he had just taken a liking to his food supply and was keeping it as a pet.

Amidst all the shaking heads and disbelief, a deep and steady voice suddenly cut through the noise. “Yes. She is my mate.”

It was like someone had pressed pause. All the murmurs vanished.

Everyone stared stiffly at the Snow Wolf, watching as he repeated himself. “Nyx is my mate.”

After dropping that bombshell, Zayne strolled off as if nothing had happened, completely unfazed by the explosion of gasps and exclamations behind him.

No matter where he walked, he got exactly what he wanted–more and more heated stares. Standing a little straighter, shoulders squared, he subtly showed off to the entire world.

His little rabbit was adorable.

Nyx curled up into a round fluff ball, feeling both embarrassed and amused. She kicked her little paws in frustration, rubbing the Snow Wolf’s head in helpless protest.

They had been together for years, and she knew Zayne all too well. It was obvious what he was trying to do.

Putting on a show, Zayne took his time making a full round of the marketplace before finally picking a spot and leading his people to settle down.

1/3 99%1 Chapter 334 The great Shaman of the Wolf Tribe had a mate named Nyx, and her beast form was a little rabbit.

The news spread through all the tribes, instantly becoming the hottest gossip.

Listening to people chatter about how cute the tiny rabbit was, Afton nodded along in agreement, eyes full of envy. Unable to hold back, he sneaked over while everyone was busy working and whispered to Nyx, “Nyx, are you really an adult?”

In primitive tribes, the recognized age of adulthood was relatively low, varying slightly between tribes but generally around fourteen.

Squatting inside a bamboo basket, Nyx paused for a moment before replying, “Of course.”

Not only was she an adult, but given her real age, she could easily be Afton’s mother.

Afton was at most not even twenty yet. Even Chubby, Sky, and Ash were older than him.

Seeing the little rabbit looking speechless, Afton scratched his head awkwardly. “But you look so small.”

It was his first time seeing such a tiny rabbit. His instincts told him she had to be a cub.

“That’s just my species,” Nyx flicked her ears, patiently explaining.

She suspected this was some twisted joke from the Heavenly Law, deliberately making her beast form identical to the one she had in the game. This breed was naturally small–no matter how much they ate, they would never grow bigger.

“Really?” Afton rubbed his hands expectantly. “Then... do you have any clansmen of the same breed? Can you introduce one to me?”

He wanted a soft, fluffy little rabbit as his mate too.

“If there aren’t any females, a male would do,” he added. Even if he couldn’t find a mate, having a rabbit as a friend sounded nice.

Nyx went speechless. She thought, ‘This guy–is he looking for a mate, a friend, or a pet?‘

She opened her mouth, about to tell him to think carefully, but Afton was already getting impatient. He grabbed the bamboo basket and pointed ahead. “The Rabbit Tribe is over there. I’ll take you there, and you help me pick–who has a beast form similar to yours.”

Before he could finish, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed. A tall figure blocked his path.

“Put Nyx down.” Zayne’s voice was as cold as ice.

He had shifted back from his Snow Wolf form to his human form. His upper body was bare, his muscles swollen from exertion, and his threatening gaze made Afton shiver.

Not daring to resist, Afton hurriedly set the bamboo basket down, scrambled backward, and shrank into himself.

“Sorry,” he muttered belatedly, realizing how inappropriate his actions had been.

Sneaking off with someone else’s mate and getting caught red–handed... he would’ve deserved a beating.

“I just wanted to take Nyx to the Rabbit Tribe so she could introduce me to other rabbit Beastmen,” he said in a small voice, head lowered in defense.

Zayne’s expression didn’t ease at all. Instead, it darkened. ‘The Rabbit Tribe... he thought.

He lifted his gaze toward the rabbit Beastmen in the distance.

2/3 99%1 Chapter 334 They were indeed looking in this direction, as if searching for Nyx.

Zayne clenched his fists at his sides and instinctively stepped forward, blocking the basket–and the prying eyes. He regretted it.

He thought he shouldn’t have shown her off so much. He should have hidden her away.

But even if he did, he couldn’t go against Nyx’s wishes or stop her from going home.

“I don’t know those people,” Nyx suddenly said.

She peeked her fluffy head out of the basket, hopped into Zayne’s arms, and climbed onto his shoulder.

Even from a distance, she locked eyes with the rabbit Beastmen and saw only unfamiliarity and surprise in their gazes. Clearly, they didn’t recognize her either.

Unlike the last trial, this time, when she woke up, she hadn’t gained any new memories. It seemed like the Heavenly Law hadn’t assigned her a background.

“I’m not from the Rabbit Tribe, so I can’t introduce you to anyone,” Nyx said, glancing at the nervous Afton to shut down his hopes. “You should go.”

As soon as she said that, both males let out a breath of relicf.

As if he’d been pardoned from execution, Afton bolted away.

Zayne let him go without chasing him down for a beating.

“Nyx, you’re not from the Rabbit Tribe?” Zayne’s mind was fixated on Nyx, paying no attention to anything else.

“Nope,” Nyx stretched lazily, speaking in a matter–of–fact tone.

“Then-”

“The Sea Race Tribe is here!”

Before Zayne could press further, a loud shout rang out from afar.

Nyx’s ears perked up at the words “Sea Race Tribe.” She immediately scrambled up, looking toward the source of the voice.
