It seemed like I had overdone it a little?

Looking at Vivian, who had fainted beside him, Liao Zixuan scratched his head with one of his forepaws in a very humanlike manner.

Sigh.

Life was hard. The wolf sighed.

The sun had long since set, and night quickly enveloped the forest. Judging by the look of things, the little girl who had fainted from fright probably would not be waking up anytime soon.

With no other choice, Liao Zixuan could only begin preparing to spend the night here.

There was no need to worry about being attacked by monsters.

That was because his recent large-scale Void Ignition had already turned every monster within several miles into roast meat.

As for the remaining high-level monsters with some actual strength, once they sensed the aura and magical fluctuations he was giving off, any that had even a little sense would flee as fast as they could, not daring to approach in the slightest.

In other words, just a few minutes ago, this girl's location had already become an absolute "forbidden zone" in the eyes of the forest's monsters.

Ensuring that no monsters would disturb them was only the first step. Liao Zixuan also had to take the girl's frail body into account.

Not long after night fell, the unconscious girl began to shiver all over. The temperature, which had plummeted during the night, was more than her scrawny little body could bear.

At first, Liao Zixuan tried carrying branches over in his mouth to assemble a fire, but he soon realized that it was far too inefficient.

So...

Boom!

Rumble!

Several ancient trees around them, each seemingly over a hundred years old, were mercilessly ignited by Liao Zixuan. The ancient trees, blazing with roaring flames, crashed to the ground with tremendous noise, sending clouds of dust flying.

The warmth produced by burning a few branches was completely different from that produced by burning several ancient trees.

The effect was astonishingly obvious!

Wave after wave of heat rolled toward them. Sure enough, the little girl's body on the ground immediately stopped trembling. Her brows even unconsciously furrowed, and her small mouth parted, as if she were about to be woken by the heat.

There was one thing that needed to be clarified here. The saying that setting fire to a mountain would land one in prison did not apply to Liao Zixuan. As a Dark Flame Wolf, controlling the fire element was his specialty.

So although it looked as if a huge fire had broken out here, if one viewed it from high above and far away, one would discover that all the flames seemed to be covered by an invisible dome. They were completely confined to one area, showing no sign of spreading at all.

Once he had finished all this, Liao Zixuan nodded in satisfaction. He then leaned his body against the girl and began sorting through the spoils from the battle.

Your Summoned Beast killed "Crimson Winged Beast" and gained 3 Experience Points Your Summoned Beast killed "Green Skin Snake" and gained 5 Experience Points Your Summoned Beast killed...

The game panel—the greatest cheat in all those game-world novels—had also been brought over with Liao Zixuan.

No, more accurately speaking, it had been brought over, but not entirely.

Because Liao Zixuan had discovered a tragic fact.

As a Summoned Beast, he was not qualified to possess his own game panel. Thus, the actual owner of the game system was not him. Instead, it had been transferred to Vivian, the silly girl beside him!

The subject in the battle records was "you," which made it clear that this country village girl was the primary holder, while Liao Zixuan, as a Summoned Beast, could only rank second.

Fortunately, because the girl was a native of this world, she could neither use nor sense the game system at all.

Thus, after all was said and done, Liao Zixuan had indirectly become the system's sole user. Simply put, he could control both his own panel and the girl's at the same time.

Sigh.

Although he felt frustrated, Liao Zixuan understood that this was actually a wonderful thing.

After all...

Would you like to invest all 103 Experience Points into the "Summoner" class?

Liao Zixuan selected "Yes" without hesitation, investing all the Experience Points he had gained from his killing spree into the girl.

It was not because he was generous. It was purely because this amount of Experience Points was not even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of a dignified Dark Flame Wolf like him. He might as well improve the girl's strength first.

Soon, two flashes of white light passed over Vivian's body.

Congratulations, you have leveled up. Your primary class, "Summoner," has reached Lv3. Your total level has increased to Level 7. Current remaining attribute points available for allocation: 2 Would you like to allocate your attribute points?

As expected.

This native girl, Vivian, had also gained the game system. That meant she would possess a leveling speed far beyond that of the natives of this world, becoming just like a player, without any bottlenecks and with an absurd growth rate.

At the same time, she possessed a privilege that players did not: her level cap would not be locked by game-version updates!

At that thought, Liao Zixuan could not help throwing his head back and howling.

What did it mean to be the favored daughter of heaven—the Daughter of Destiny?!

He looked at the still-unconscious country girl with a resentful little gaze. She did not even know which shabby little village she had come from.

A dark thought began to slowly take root in Liao Zixuan's heart!

He was going to turn this pure and flawless village girl who had never seen the wider world into an ultimate Witch feared by everyone, dreaded by all, and capable of making the entire world tremble!

The feeling of personally luring a white lotus into darkness and gradually turning her into a dark queen made Liao Zixuan incredibly excited just thinking about it!

And so, it was happily decided!

Thus, as his first step, Liao Zixuan chose to pour all the attribute points Vivian had gained from leveling up into Elemental Affinity!

Witchcraft was all about magic! Strength, Agility, Vitality, and all those mud-legged attributes could stand aside!

While Liao Zixuan was wantonly carrying out his grand Witch-making project and transforming the girl's body...

Vivian seemed to sense something as well.

Her unconscious state gradually turned into sleep. In a daze, the little girl rolled over and instinctively hugged Liao Zixuan with both arms as if he were a pillow, pulling him into her embrace. He had originally been lying beside her, still having a great time.

In theory, this should have been a very enjoyable moment.

But in reality...

Ouch.

That was hard!

Why was he so damn bony?!

The little wolf cub in the girl's arms, Liao Zixuan, wore a highly humanlike expression of struggle.

His little wolf legs twitched nonstop. The reason was simple: there really was not a bit of flesh on him. It was all hard bones! Bones!

No! No!

At that moment, Liao Zixuan realized the serious mistake he had made. He had overlooked a crucial problem!

Namely, before launching his grand Witch-raising project, there was another matter that was far more urgent to take care of!

And that was...

To first fatten up this silly girl, whose bones jutted out and whose entire body was scrawny and shriveled.

Fatten! Her! Up!

After all, she was going to become a great Witch in the future. It would be utterly embarrassing if word got out about this!
