You were given the authority to tame beasts, not to raise unspeakable animals.

"You...can see?!"

Lin Youyou's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth.

It carries a sense of brokenness, as if it has been tormented by long-term pressure.

Inside the sales hall.

The suffocating silence was broken by this abrupt question.

Wang Li, who was standing to the side, did not hear the whisper clearly.

She only saw Chen Mo's hand.

He rudely reached for the back of Lin Youyou's neck.

From her perspective.

This is blatant harassment.

And it happened in public.

He made unwanted advances towards that unapproachable, holy goddess of Linjiang City!

"What are you doing! Take your dirty hands off me!"

Wang Li screamed.

She was about to rush up to protect her master, wearing high heels.

Or perhaps it's to impress the new customer.

The four bodyguards wearing sunglasses reacted even faster.

The muscles tensed instantly.

One after another, thick, muscular hands were already pressing down on the tactical batons at the waist.

The atmosphere instantly became thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The surrounding crowd of onlookers booed and scorned.

"Holy crap, is this guy crazy? Publicly flirting with Lin Youyou?"

"Could he be a pervert? Does he think he's someone special just because he has a little money?"

"An F-rank trash paired with an S-rank goddess? Even a toad trying to eat swan meat doesn't work like that..."

Everyone stared at Chen Mo with hostility.

however.

Chen Mo, who was at the center of the storm, didn't even lift his eyelids.

He didn't look at Lin Youyou's face, the face that made all the boys in the school swoon.

Instead, he stared with great interest at the empty space three inches above her left shoulder.

That's where the real world is.

Within the vision of the all-knowing eye.

The once luxurious and brightly lit hall has been stripped of its facade.

There were no glittering chandeliers, no noisy crowds.

Only countless twisted lines.

And... a wild beast that is eating.

That was not the severed hand that I had glimpsed earlier.

As Chen Mo concentrated his mental energy.

The thing that was lying on Lin Youyou's back finally revealed its full form.

It's disgusting.

It was a creature made up of countless sharp geometric angles.

It has no skin.

The body resembled a piece of blue glass that had been shattered and then pieced back together.

Between each fragment flows a murky mist called time.

It has a silhouette similar to that of a canine.

But there were no teeth in that long mouth.

Instead, it's a hollow, constantly pulsating straw.

now.

The straw was deeply embedded in Lin Youyou's fair and delicate nape.

He greedily absorbed the pale golden life force emanating from her body.

The system panel was refreshing rapidly on Chen Mo's retina:

[WARNING! High-risk spatiotemporal anomaly detected!]

[Target Identification: Tindarous Hound (juvenile, extremely hungry)]

[Race Affiliation: Hunters of Time and Angle]

[Status: Parasitic and feeding]

[Note: This little guy seems to have taken this beautiful woman as a tasty portable blood bank. Without intervention, the host will age and die within three months due to depleted vitality.]

"Tindaros..."

Chen Mo twitched the corner of his mouth.

That smile made Lin Youyou inexplicably uneasy.

This is a filthy creature that exists only in ancient books and lives in the corner of time.

How could it possibly appear on the back of a high school girl in a modern city?

No wonder she wanted to buy that haunted house.

Tindaros Hound Dislike Curve.

They loathe the chaotic abyss atmosphere even more.

Only in extremely cold and yin places.

Only then could its appetite be temporarily frozen, allowing Lin Youyou a moment to catch her breath.

"Get out of the way! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"

A bodyguard had already rushed to Chen Mo's side.

A large, fan-like hand, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, grabbed Chen Mo's shoulder.

Lin Youyou's delicate body trembled.

Instinctively, I wanted to stop him, but I found that my throat felt like it was blocked by something.

It couldn't make a sound.

That was fear.

The fear stemmed from the monster on his back.

It sensed Chen Mo's gaze.

It was the gaze of a superior predator.

The frightened hunting dog did not let go.

Instead, it thrust its mouthparts even deeper into the air with even greater frenzy.

They tried to drain the last of their nutrients before escaping.

"Well……"

Lin Youyou's face instantly turned pale.

My legs buckled, and I was about to fall forward.

Just as the bodyguard's hand was about to touch the hem of Chen Mo's clothes...

Chen Mo made a move.

He ignored the bodyguard and didn't even try to avoid him.

He did it casually, as if he were just flicking dust off his collar.

Extend two fingers.

That instant.

A wisp of barely perceptible, chaotic gray mist swirled around his fingertips.

"I told you, don't be too greedy."

Chen Mo whispered.

Then came a swift and decisive flick on the forehead.

"collapse!"

This crisp sound did not originate in the real world.

It exploded on a spiritual level.

Chen Mo's finger landed precisely on the wet nose of the invisible hound.

"Awooo...!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out.

Of course, only two people could hear this sound.

One is Lin Youyou, who serves as the host.

The other is Chen Mo, who possesses the old privileges.

In the eyes of Wang Li and her bodyguards.

Chen Mo simply flicked his finger at the air in a strange manner.

But in Lin Youyou's perception.

The world was spinning at that moment!

That tormented her for three whole years.

No matter how many high-level healing beast tamers were invited, they were helpless.

A terrifying nightmare that even the bishops of the Radiant Church could not banish...

It was sent flying by that light flick!

The vicious dog, made of blue smoke, seemed to have its soul seared by a red-hot iron.

Loosen the mouthpiece frantically.

He tumbled and scrambled off Lin Youyou's back.

It cowered in fear into the shadow at Lin Youyou's feet.

To be precise, it shrank into a sharp-angled crevice at the edge of the shadow.

A faint, mournful whimpering sound came from there, like that of a lost dog.

"call……"

That instant.

Lin Youyou felt the mountain that had been pressing on her spine for three years disappear.

The cold blood began to flow again.

The excruciating pain of having your soul devoured every moment.

It miraculously stopped.

She straightened up in disbelief.

His pale golden eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, were now trembling violently.

He stared intently at the seemingly ordinary boy in front of him.

He...can not only see.

He can still touch it!

He was even scolding it!

"you……"

Lin Youyou opened her mouth, her voice hoarse beyond belief.

"What... what's going on?"

The bodyguard next to him, who had grabbed nothing, was stunned.

He clearly saw that the boy didn't use much force.

My own daughter, who is usually as aloof as an iceberg.

Why do you suddenly look so exhausted?

And judging from his expression... he didn't seem angry, more like...
