Just as Bai Wanwan's consciousness struggled free from chaos, a tingling heat spread from her waist, as though a pair of scorching hands were clasped tightly around her.
She groggily opened her eyes, her gaze crashing directly into a pair of sharp eyes shrouded in a crimson mist.
The man's gaze was unfocused yet dangerous, his thin lips pressed into a cold, hard line.
His face had chiseled features, a blend of the best of Eastern and Western aesthetics that made him seem unfairly handsome.
Looking at his sculpted muscles, every ripple exuded a wild power.
Bai Wanwan felt her throat go dry.
Her gaze couldn't help but follow a bead of sweat, watching as it rolled down his taut neck, then snaked a glistening trail over his bare torso.
In a daze, Bai Wanwan thought she must be dreaming.
Then the grip on her waist tightened, so hard she felt she might be sent flying.
The sensation was incredibly real and intense. She couldn't hold back and let out a soft, seductive moan.
Upon hearing her own voice, Bai Wanwan's face instantly flushed crimson.
'Was that my voice?'
'And why does this feel so real?'
She had been at a company retreat, hiking a mountain. She remembered someone bumping into her, causing her to slip. So how did she open her eyes again to find herself in such an explicit scene?
What was even more absurd was that she was now the star of this X-rated scene!
Before she could think any further, her ankle was seized by a large hand like an iron clamp, instantly throwing her thoughts into turmoil…
As dawn's light pierced the treetops, the insatiable man finally collapsed from exhaustion.
In the blink of an eye, that powerful body transformed into a giant, pure-white tiger!
Bai Wanwan nearly cried out in alarm. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly, but the majestic White Tiger was still lying there.
"DING! Congratulations, Host, on your successful conception. The Procreation System, Hua Sheng, is now at your service. Upon successful delivery, you will receive a generous reward."
In an instant, a flood of unfamiliar memories poured into her mind.
'I've transmigrated into a cat!'
"System! Since you could bring me here, you can definitely send me back, right?" she asked in an urgent whisper.
"The Host must accumulate enough Points to return. The only way to obtain Points is to mate with powerful Beastmen and give birth to high-quality offspring."
"This is highway robbery!" Bai Wanwan fumed.
"But if the Host returns now, only death awaits you," the system reminded her calmly. "You fell from a great height. It was I who saved you…"
Those words were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing her anger.
After a moment of silence, she confirmed, "So you're saying if I earn enough Points, I can go back alive, right?"
"Correct!"
A complex mix of emotions played across Bai Wanwan's face. It seemed… she had no other choice.
If that was the case, there was nothing to do but resign herself to it. Since she was here, she'd make the best of it.
Her gaze slowly fell back onto the large tiger beside her.
She already knew his identity. He was Chou Rong, the object of every female's affection in the Cat Clan Tribe. His origins were unknown, his identity a mystery…
A powerful male who was not to be provoked.
While other females only dared to fantasize about him, the body's previous owner had actually dared to pluck a tooth from a tiger's maw and devour him whole.
If she weren't the one caught in the aftermath, Bai Wanwan would have given the body's previous owner a thumbs-up and called her a total badass.
From the memories, she already knew Chou Rong's way of doing things.
She knew with absolute certainty that if he found out she was the female from tonight, there would be hell to pay!
Suddenly, the White Tiger's ears twitched, and two puffs of white air shot from its nostrils.
"System! Can you eliminate my scent? He absolutely cannot find out I was the female from tonight!"
"Rest assured, Host. All traces have been cleared."
Bai Wanwan quickly scrambled up, grabbed an animal hide to wrap around herself, and ran down the mountain on weak, sore legs.
********
As the morning light grew stronger, the sleeping White Tiger suddenly rolled over, its claws subconsciously reaching for the space beside it—
The moment its claws met empty air, it snapped its eyes open.
The surrounding grass and trees were trampled, but there was no sign of any female.
It sprang to its feet. The soft warmth in its paws, the sweet fragrance in its nose—the memories were still vivid.
ROAR!
A heaven-shaking roar startled the birds all over the mountain into flight. A monstrous rage churned in its gilded, beastly eyes.
That audacious female… If he found her, he would tear her to shreds!
Having already fled to the foot of the mountain, Bai Wanwan trembled at the sound. A strange chill ran down the back of her neck, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace…
The morning mist slowly receded like a thin veil, and the outline of the tribe at the foot of the mountain gradually became clear.
On the low stone walls surrounding the tribe, several male Beastmen were patrolling vigilantly, guarding against incursions from wild animals.
Following the original owner's memories, Bai Wanwan quietly circled around to the left side of the tribe and slipped through a small, hidden hole.
Right now, her whole body ached unbearably. She couldn't be bothered even if the sky were falling; all she wanted was to hurry back to the original owner's cave and sleep like the dead.
"Bai Wanwan, what are you doing?"
A sharp cry suddenly exploded behind her.
