What happened that night afterward...

Actually, nothing much.

Afterward, Lin Guang brought Chelina home, just a bit late.

Apart from Lisa rushing up to hug her and Lin Guang tightly, and Vishdair, who didn't show any unexpected expressions but sniffed Lin Guang hard to check for any suspicious scent...

Everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Sleeping together remained the same, cooking together was still done together, training and meditation were not to be missed, so the original plan was largely unchanged.

However, during some of the times they were alone together in her small house, with Chelina snuggled up to Lin Guang, eventually, she did tell him some things about her past.

Her... origins.

In the Terra World, her experiences were pretty much the same as what Lin Guang learned in Future Ark and what she recounted that day, only with some additional details and changes.

The destruction of the Texas Clan did indeed stem from a complete and absurd betrayal akin to a farce.

And this betrayal originated from her father's wild fantasies... and her stubborn and naive grandfather.

The Texas Clan originally originated from a place called Syracuse on the Terra Continent.

That place is similar to today's Vidali on Blue Star.

Whereas Columbia, this newly emerging country, is much younger.

When Columbia was just founded, many families and dream-driven individuals from Syracuse flocked to that undeveloped land, striving to make their fortunes.

In other words, it was almost equivalent to colonizing a New Continent.

And Chelina's grandfather was one of the most successful among them.

He led his family to strive on that newly emerging land, showcasing the Texas family crest and becoming a very prominent family.

But he firmly remembered his origins, insisting that he was a Syracuse man and demanded all family members adhere to the Syracuse rules.

Due to his decision, the Texas Clan still maintained its position as one of the twelve most prosperous families in Syracuse.

And Chelina Texas was born into this family, both fashionable and ancient.

She was talented, showcasing extraordinary abilities since childhood and was entrusted with significant responsibilities by her grandfather upon reaching adulthood, shuttling back and forth between Columbia and Syracuse.

Her grandfather hoped she would represent his will, mediating among various powers to open a Source Stone trade route linking Syracuse and Columbia.

Source Stones are considered the origin of everything across the Terra Continent; such expectations are almost akin to those placed on an heir.

But...

In the family, it wasn't just her grandfather's will.

There was also her father.

Her father always refused to abide by the rules of Syracuse, wanting independence and to establish his own branch, while her grandfather disagreed with him.

The two always had an overt and covert conflict, with their forces sprawling across Syracuse and Columbia, even using Chelina as a pawn.

They each held their own views, focused on the overall picture, argued their points vigorously, and headed for a rift, but they never cared about what Chelina really thought.

They merely stubbornly imposed their will and possibly non-existent "love" onto Chelina.

The grandfather might have valued and loved her more than the father, but the Syracuse he valued, those families and forces, and the so-called honor, in Chelina's eyes, were nothing but a disgustingly hypocritical cesspool that made her utterly sick.

Maybe her father saw her as a tool, but his desire to separate from Syracuse and establish his own branch could also be what Chelina internally agreed with after witnessing Syracuse's hypocrisy.

Who was right and who was wrong?

Chelina didn't know.

But she vaguely felt that... the endpoint of all this wouldn't be what she wanted.

And in the end...

No matter how excellently she performed, everything still spiraled into a catastrophe.

Her father rebelled against her grandfather, killing the first and last Godfather of the Texas Clan, proclaiming the clan's independence.

But naturally, the rulers of Syracuse wouldn't allow such an affront to authority, lest their fragile rule crumbles.

Thus...

An extermination order was issued.

Having done nothing and unable to do anything, Chelina watched helplessly as her family faced annihilation.

All her blood relatives, finally, leaving only her father in the ancestral home, who, after his dreams shattered, lost everything and went completely insane.

She gave him an ending, igniting a fire that consumed her past and future.

Thus, she was the only Texas left in this world.

Family, friends, wealth, status, even dreams... nothing was left.

She didn't even know where to start looking for a target for revenge.

But for some reason...

At her wit's end, emotionally numb and empty, she caught the attention of a miraculous being called the [Wolf Lord], which looked no different from a giant wolf and was an immortal and indestructible presence.

The entity signed a blood pact with Chelina, promising to help her escape all this in exchange for her aid in the future.

Chelina agreed—though she herself didn't know what she could expect from her future.

Thus, it temporarily lurked within Chelina's body.

However.

Shortly after her escape journey began...

A spatial rift swallowed Chelina.

She and the [Wolf Lord] within her ended up in this world.

For some reason, the will of that Wolf Lord seemed to have been crushed during the time-space traverse, so the Wolf Lord's almost immortal and indestructible trait, where its destroyed body would reverse time and reform, was inherited into her body and soul.

Then, there were the things Lin Guang was familiar with.

She was captured by the Divine Heart Association, experimented on due to such traits, and lived through the daily physical agony and spiritual numbness until she met Lin Guang.

She wanted to leave... out of fear she might bring misfortune to Lin Guang.

The three Dao Marks inside her truly came from the Divine Heart Association, but it does not mean everything was due to their experiments.

In fact, her physique was extremely unique, this nearly immortal trait, along with the Wolf Lord's aura, allowed her to naturally withstand the erosion of a certain Divine Object—seemingly the blood left by a powerful wolf-like Spirit Beast after its death—and successfully merged with it.

Along with various resources and wolf genes, all this made her an unstable miracle, possibly as fleeting as a bloom.

Yet after the pact with Lin Guang, Chelina no longer had to worry about Genetic Collapse, not only indicating her future recovery but also the possibility of further advancement due to her unique physique.

Just like those high-level Spirit Masters with the potential for further growth, the immense value she possesses is self-evident.

Although Lin Guang had already attracted the attention and protection of many strong figures, becoming the center of attention, since Lin Guang chose to keep her, he must not be careless.

The Divine Object carrying the wolf soul seemed to represent the will of the Divine Heart Association's president and is deeply connected with them, so that unknown "BOSS" would never let things rest.

After hearing these things, Lin Guang didn't make any judgment.

The past rights and wrongs on the Terra Continent, with Chelina unable to return, seemed to have lost their significance today.

But he at least knew one thing clearly.

At this point.

No matter what kind of existence comes to obstruct him, he would never let go of her hand.
