Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human

At dusk, two werewolf maids were sweeping the open space in front of her window.

One of the taller men said, "Princess Adams is absolutely stunning! Even I can't help but be captivated by her! Her tall figure, full breasts, snow-white skin, and bright red lips... she and our Prince are a perfect match!"

The other, shorter man, clasped his hands together, his eyes sparkling with hearts: "Especially the part at the ball where His Highness invited Princess Adams to dance. Their coordination was perfect, like a match made in heaven. Ah, I really wish His Highness could give me that charming smile... Ouch! Why did you hit me?"

"Wake up, stop dreaming!"

"Hmph, you still want to tell me what to do even in my dreams..."

The girl's words about her first love were pure and interesting, but to others they were just noise. She moved from the windowsill, intending to lie on the bed and read for a while.

I had just stood up when a single sentence stopped me in my tracks.

"Anyway, tonight is His Highness's coming-of-age ceremony. Regardless of bloodline, anyone can go and have a couple of drinks. I'm definitely going. If you're so capable, then don't go and join the fun."

"I can go if I want, and I can not go if I don't want to. It's none of your business!"

A coming-of-age ceremony...?

How could it be today?

Xia Yangyang's heart skipped a beat. Afraid that she had remembered the date wrong, she quickly woke up the system to check Hati's adulthood countdown. The countdown clearly showed the end of this month.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the countdown suddenly flickered erratically twice, turning into 6 hours.

The system and Xia Yangyang rubbed their eyes in shock. Then the countdown changed back to the end of the month, paused for less than half a second, and finally jumped back to 6 hours. After that, no matter how much the two of them patted it, it never changed again.

The system was dumbfounded: [Am I seeing things?]

Xia Yangyang had a bad feeling: [The witch's curse: Hati will turn into a handful of snow in the Northern Region the day after his "coming of age." Does this "coming of age" refer to his coming-of-age ceremony, rather than his birthday...?]

Today is a full moon night. Werewolves often regard the last full moon night of their 17th birthday as the day they traditionally come of age, and celebrate it as a coming-of-age ceremony.

Just as people generally consider crossing into a new year as getting a year older, but in reality, no one treats the New Year as a birthday.

Everyone implicitly agrees that the day they turn one year older is the day they were born.

The system and Xia Yangyang exchanged a glance, each filled with their own fear.

System: [It seems the werewolves don't know that "adult" means this?]

Xia Yangyang: [If their future leader is going to die tomorrow, they shouldn't be celebrating tonight; they should be killing me!]

The system covered its mouth: [The target character herself doesn't know about this!]

Xia Yangyang clutched her head: [If he dies, I'll be even less able to live!]

Xia Yangyang was extremely annoyed; she wished she had kept him that night.

The items in the mall are too expensive; she simply can't afford them. Even with her exceptional combat power and talent, it's impossible for her to run from here to the coming-of-age ceremony. She can't even take him away from the ceremony.

If he turns into his original form, how will she appease him?

Besides, he already has a new partner with whom he works well.

They were awakened by the countdown clock striking five hours in.

One man looked at the three layers of guards surrounding him and scratched his head in frustration.

The two men, one after the other, simultaneously raised their faces and met each other's gazes: "Use puppets!"

The puppet's appearance can temporarily take the form of the soul imprint within its body, which is Lorne's face.

Since Lorne was able to come and go freely in this side hall using his face, he can certainly use his face to take her out.

*

The coming-of-age ceremony took place in the main hall, where a large number of werewolves attended. In a hall that could hold four or five thousand people, no one would notice her at all.

She was dressed as a maid and spent an hour running here, exhausted, and then it took her another half hour to squeeze to the very back.

But she didn't see Hati.

Conversely, the inner noble meeting hall appeared somewhat chaotic, even filled with discussions.

At the highest point directly in front, Queen Hui was patting the back of a woman in a red dress, speaking softly and comfortingly.

The woman in the red dress sat on the queen's throne, her exquisite makeup smudged by tears, yet it could not conceal her noble bearing and beauty.

The handkerchiefs beside her piled up like a small mountain. Wiping away her tears, she clutched her chest in anguish, saying, "I simply can't understand how he could leave me here, leaving me all alone. You know how much I love him. We grew up together, and today should have been the day I'd always dreamed of..."

Queen Hui, her face full of heartache, used her nail-covered fingers to wipe away the tears from the girl opposite her. "Oh, my dear Adams, you are such a good girl. From any perspective, his behavior tonight was unforgivable and utterly wrong. He will pay the price for his recklessness sooner or later. My sweetheart, please don't cry anymore. Your tears are like knives cutting into my heart. When I find him, I will bring him to apologize to you and let you vent your anger, okay?"

Adams panicked and quickly grabbed Queen Hui's hands, shaking his head in anguish, "No, no, I won't take my anger out on him!"

Why?

"Because he was so hateful, so infuriating... yet so lovable. You know, he looked at me with such deep affection, his beautiful golden eyes seeming to weep with regret. He said to me, 'My dear Adams, believe me, making this decision took a thousand times more courage than letting me stay here. You are such a beautiful and kind girl; you deserve the most complete and lasting happiness in the world. To exchange my limited life for your infinite future would be the greatest injustice to you.' Even in leaving, he was always thinking of me. How could I possibly hate him..."

Queen Hui felt increasingly guilty as she listened. Just as she was about to take off her precious ring and give it to the good girl in front of her, she suddenly stopped.

She seemed to smell the scent of a human who shouldn't be there.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her sharp gaze shot like an arrow toward the source of the smell, only to find an empty space in the corner of the palace, where no one was.

*

There is only one and a half hours left.

Xia Yangyang had already run all over the werewolf palace and was out of breath. She had even sneaked into Queen Hui's palace, but she had made no progress.

She was on the verge of despair; she knew nothing about the palace, much less about Hati.

She couldn't figure out what he was thinking or doing. Even Queen Hui couldn't find him; it was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and it was simply impossible.

System: [Is it possible he went to some secluded place? After all, he doesn't want his rage to harm others.]

Following the system's advice, Xia Yangyang identified three suspicious, secluded locations. Just as she was standing up from the stone stool she was sitting on, a strange voice with a rising tone rang out behind her at an inopportune moment:

"Wow, this is quite lively tonight! Who did I run into?"

Xia Yangyang tried to pretend she hadn't heard and walk away, but her shoulder was pressed down and she was held in place.

A chilling voice brushed past her ear: "Your Highness, didn't we agree to cooperate? Why did you run off alone, dressed like this to mislead everyone? Are you planning to leave the Northern Region without even saying goodbye?"

The person in front of him turned around, leaving even Lorne, who was used to seeing beautiful women, speechless for a moment.

Surrounded by jewels, she was like an unattainable moon, while her simple, almost plain maid outfit became the best reflector.

The rough waistband made her waist look incredibly slender, and the white headscarf accentuated her stunningly beautiful face.

She did nothing, yet she possessed a stunning beauty that seemed to shine even brighter despite being covered in dust.

"As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. Lorne, you hate Hati so much, you must know where he is." She brushed his overstepping hand away, took two steps back, and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Him? Do you even need to ask?" Lorne scoffed twice, spreading his arms out dramatically as if to hold them high. "He's wherever there's attention. He's a jewel, God, the Muse's darling. He always manages to steal everyone's spotlight. Speaking of which, he really stole the show tonight."

He spoke in a vague tone while observing her expression, but he was disappointed because she didn't seem to have any interesting reaction.

It seems he has no idea where Hati is.

Xia Yangyang's patience ran out, and she just wanted to get to the next destination as soon as possible: "Don't worry, with my abilities, even if I grew wings, I couldn't leave the Northern Region. Isn't tonight your day of celebration? Have fun."

After she finished speaking and turned to leave, Lorne blocked her path like a ghost: "Isn't it inappropriate to just walk away after causing trouble for others?"

Xia Yangyang walked to the left: "I don't have time to argue with you here."

Lorne also stepped to the left to block the way: "The puppet you controlled barged into the women's changing room and offended a lady who was changing. She remembered the puppet's face and is now demanding that I take responsibility for her!"

"What?" Xia Yangyang stopped, looked him up and down, and said incredulously, "You're really getting a free ride. You're welcome, I'm in a hurry."

She squeezed past him, but Lorne grabbed her wrist: "You have to come with me and explain yourself!"

"Why? It's not like I was peeping at her changing clothes."

"It's a puppet you're controlling."

"That's also an imprint of your soul. Didn't you ever consider this possibility the day you created it?"

Xia Yangyang waved his hand away and walked forward without looking back. From an angle she couldn't see, Lorne's eyes narrowed, and when he opened them again, a fierce glint flashed in them.

"I know where Hati is."

A confident, relaxed voice came from behind.

Xia Yangyang paused, hesitated for a moment, then continued walking: "You don't understand, you just want to solve the problem."

"Why does every pureblood werewolf have to form a contract on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony? Haven't you ever wondered? Because the bloodline of the werewolf king holds a secret that has remained unknown for hundreds of years."

"..." It turns out that every pureblood werewolf has to form a contract on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony.

"If they don't do this, they will be transformed into bloodthirsty wolves forever on the last full moon night of their seventeenth year, never to be able to return to human form."

Xia Yangyang was stopped in her tracks by those words. She stood there for a moment, then turned to look at Lorne. Was he so determined to stop her just because the puppet had caused him trouble? There was probably something fishy going on.

He probably wishes Hati would turn into a wolf, right? How could he be so kind as to help her find one?

But at the moment, only he knows some of Hati's whereabouts, so for now we can only listen to him and take it one step at a time. It's better than running around like a headless fly.

Let's see what he's going to do first.

"What trouble do you need to solve?" Xia Yangyang asked.

"I knew our friendship was unbreakable." Seeing her relent, Lorne smiled warmly, twirling his right hand twice in an elegant, gentlemanly gesture. "This way, Your Highness."
