“Entered power-saving mode. Warning! Dangerous creature approaching, danger level four. Please take immediate action. Warning...”

“Level four dangerous creature!”

The information behind those six short words made Ethan Brooks's pupils contract instantly.

A level four dangerous creature—such a terrifying being could fight off a pack of wolves and tear tigers and leopards apart with its bare hands. The fragile human body stood no chance of resistance before a level four dangerous creature.

“Calm down! Ethan Brooks, you are the 117th ranked elite student at Xinghua University, capable of handling any emergency situation!!”

“Tianji, you’re finally awake.”

As Ethan Brooks forced himself to calm down amidst his anxiety, a graceful figure quickly walked in from outside the room.

A woman.

A woman who looked about twenty-one or twenty-two, and carried herself with considerable poise.

“A human!?”

Ethan Brooks's heart trembled.

A level four danger human!?

“You seem to be recovering well.”

The woman carefully examined Ethan Brooks, and the trace of worry in her eyes eased a little. “You went to the Never-Setting Sun Mountains and didn’t encounter any fierce beasts. Although I don’t know why your spirit is so weak, surviving in the perilous Never-Setting Sun Mountains is already the greatest blessing from the heavens. It seems your luck is really good.”

As she spoke, her tone relaxed. Looking at the pale and seemingly still-shaken Ethan Brooks before her, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity. “Foster father only has you as a son, and he passed away early. The hope of this lineage probably rests entirely on you. If anything else were to happen to you, I can’t imagine the consequences...”

At this point, the woman’s expression grew a bit somber.

She fell silent, and Ethan Brooks also became quiet.

He dared not speak carelessly, for fear of revealing any flaws.

From the woman’s attitude toward him, it was clear their relationship was anything but ordinary. If she noticed anything amiss and realized he had taken over the original owner of this body, the consequences... would be unimaginable.

The atmosphere...

Suddenly became a bit awkward.

After a moment, there seemed to be some noise outside the door. The woman apparently had something to attend to, so she stood up and instructed, “Tianji, get some rest. I’ll handle the sect’s matters. I’ve had someone prepare some meat broth for you to help you recover. I hope it will help your body regain its strength soon.”

With that, the woman turned and left. It sounded like she gave some instructions outside, and soon after, a young maid entered, carrying several bowls of soup.

“Young Sect Master, have something to nourish yourself. The main ingredient in this soup is red-blood tiger bone. Yvonne personally went into the Never-Setting Sun Mountains to hunt a powerful fierce beast and prepared this for you. It’s very effective for replenishing your energy and restoring your spirit.”

“Fierce beast!”

Although he didn’t know exactly what a fierce beast was, just from the fear in the maid’s tone, he could guess it was nothing good.

“Just set the soup down. I’ll drink it in a bit.”

“All right, I’ll leave you to it. Most people in the sect have left, so we’re short-staffed and there’s still a lot to do. I’ll get back to work.”

Ethan Brooks nodded slightly.

After seeing the maid leave, he quickly issued a command in his mind.

“Number Two, I need all the remaining memories of this body.”

“During the possession process, memory loss rate: 46.22%, incompleteness: 38.21%, complete memories: 15.57%. With the host’s current mental state, it will take one hour and thirty-two minutes to receive all memory information. Begin transmission?”

“Yes.”

“Transmission starting...”

Ethan Brooks closed his eyes, focusing all his attention. His brows furrowed from time to time, and a fine sheen of sweat appeared faintly on his forehead.

An hour and a half passed quickly.

“Whew!”

As soon as the memory transmission ended, Ethan Brooks let out a long, muffled breath.

“Only 15.57%. Fortunately, there are relevant memories about this level four dangerous creature. It seems the impression is quite deep.”

Ethan Brooks muttered to himself.

The unknown is what people fear most.

A level four dangerous creature made him feel as if a thorn was stabbing his back. Facing her was like facing a terrifying beast that could devour him at any moment, always on the edge of life and death.

Now that he understood the relationship between this level four danger woman and the original owner of this body, as long as he didn’t reveal any flaws, the danger was temporarily averted.

“Create a file: Yvonne Brooks, female, age twenty-one, danger level four, adopted daughter of Gavin Brooks, the Sect Master of Yunlai Sword Sect, picked up as a young girl from the foot of the mountain and taken as a foster daughter, apprenticed to Logan Foster.

“Beep! Yvonne Brooks, data recorded.”
