Hao Ren returned to the Dream Plane in his pajamas and walked barefoot across the grassland with the Data Terminal, which warned him about the dangers of the realm.

Hao Ren explored an abandoned herders’ village in the Dream Plane and found a metal fragment matching one from his basement. A sudden hurricane swept him away, and he woke in his bedroom with the fragment still in his possession.

• Hao Ren inspected an empty herders’ hut and learned from the Data Terminal that the Dream Plane was a vast, real, self-consistent world that developed over time.

Hao Ren, Vivian, and Izax prepared for Lily’s expected werewolf transformation that night, while Hao Ren took Izax shopping and tried to teach him how to behave in public. The chapter ended as Hao Ren heard a guitar-playing girl sing in an unfamiliar language.

• Vivian went out to gather herbs and materials for a calming potion to help Lily control herself during her transformation.

• Hao Ren suspected Vivian had prepared the foul-smelling mixtures to get revenge on Lily, but Lily said they looked good and agreed to eat them.

Hao Ren and the others took Lily into the wilderness to witness her full-moon transformation, but she only grew wolf ears and a tail. When the moon reached its peak and nothing else happened, Raven 12345 revealed that the moon would be roundest the next day, leaving Hao Ren furious and the transformation unresolved.

• Hao Ren, Vivian, Lily, and Izax sneaked out to a remote wasteland, with Lily using her ties to the neighborhood dogs to keep people away.

• Hao Ren called Raven 12345 after Lily showed no further change as the moon reached its peak.
• Raven 12345 told Hao Ren that the moon was roundest on the sixteenth, not the fifteenth, leaving the group waiting another night.

Lily began her evolution and unleashed a powerful transformation that carved a huge crater into the ground. When she emerged as a giant white beast, her howl ended in a bark, revealing that she had transformed into a husky.

• Hao Ren and Raven 12345 argued telepathically before Hao Ren called off their work and led everyone home.
• Lily began trembling and glowing after eating spicy strips, and Hao Ren realized her evolution had started.
• Vivian and Izax prepared a safe area while Hao Ren used the Data Terminal to monitor Lily's energy.
• Lily's blue-green vortexes exploded, and Izax's defensive formation shielded Hao Ren, Vivian, and Izax from the shock waves.
• Lily fully transformed into a gigantic white beast, howled at the moon, and barked, prompting Vivian to identify her as a husky.

Lily completed her transformation into a gigantic beast, but Vivian and the Data Terminal confirmed that her true form was a Husky rather than a wolf. She could understand speech but only bark, and she ran around the area like an enormous, excitable dog.

• Lily transformed into a seven- or eight-meter-long beast and howled and barked at the moon.

• Lily wandered off to toss a huge stone, dig holes, and run around while wagging her tail.

After Lily transformed into a gigantic, energetic Husky, Hao Ren, Vivian, and Izax used Werewolf-suppressing incense to calm her down until she returned to human form. Lily woke up unaware of what she had become, leaving Hao Ren to explain the truth to her.

• Lily ran around and tore through the landscape as a giant Husky while remaining conscious but too excited to settle down.
• Hao Ren and Vivian decided to try Vivian’s Werewolf incense, and Izax guided Lily into its range while she briefly concentrated on him.
• The incense made Lily drowsy, and she collapsed before shrinking back into human form.
• Vivian sent Hao Ren and Izax away while she dressed the unconscious Lily in new clothes.
• Lily woke up, asked Hao Ren how impressive she had been, and left him to figure out how to tell her what she had transformed into.

Lily discovered that her transformed beast form was a Husky, while Hao Ren and Vivian tried to break the news to her. After they returned home and showed Lily the transformation footage, she finally accepted what she was.

• Back home, Hao Ren showed Lily footage of her transformation, and she tearfully confirmed that she had become a Husky.

After Lily hid in her room, Hao Ren and the others worried that she was struggling to accept being a Husky spirit, but she had simply slept through their calls. Vivian tested Lily’s blood and confirmed she was a Husky, then discovered a trace of Pekingese bloodline as well.

• Hao Ren brought food to Lily’s room and found that she had just woken up, unaware that everyone had been worried about her.

• Vivian offered to identify Lily by tasting her blood, and Lily reluctantly agreed after making her promise to bite only once.
• Vivian confirmed that Lily was a Husky and revealed that she had also tasted one-sixteenth Pekingese bloodline.

Hao Ren and Vivian struggled to make sense of Lily’s strange Husky and Pekingese bloodline, while Lily revealed the two claws she had gained after evolving. The claws proved removable and dangerously hot or cold, leaving Hao Ren’s table burned and frozen.

• Vivian suggested that Lily might have a Pekingese branch in her Werewolf bloodline, but Hao Ren rejected the idea and Lily gave up trying to understand what she was.
• Vivian explained that she had identified the bloodline by drinking Pekingese blood and asked Lily whether her evolution had granted new abilities.
• Lily summoned a pair of claws, one icy blue and one scorching red, and Vivian wondered why her evolution had given her detachable weapons instead of a normal Werewolf talent.
• Lily removed the claws and handed them to Vivian, who burned herself on the red one.
• Lily dropped the claws onto Hao Ren’s table, where the icy blade frosted it and the red blade burned through it.

After Lily recovered from learning she was of husky descent, Vivian helped her practice her new powers while Hao Ren went shopping. Hao Ren met a stranger named Casa Eben, and Vivian recognized the name as belonging to a long-defunct family of Werewolves, leaving Hao Ren wary of trouble.

• Back home, Hao Ren found Lily and Vivian experimenting with her ice and fire claws to prepare mutton skewers.
• Vivian said she knew of the Eben family, a group of Werewolves once involved in a racial revival plan, and Hao Ren suspected the encounter would bring trouble.

Lily practiced with her new claws and went out to take a stray dog to the doctor while Hao Ren worried about Izax exploring the city. After bickering with the Data Terminal over Raven 12345’s unhelpful response, Hao Ren realized Lily had not returned for lunch.

• Vivian’s grilling-skewer plan failed because Lily ate every batch, including the charred meat, while Lily happily practiced using her new claws.
