In what seems to be a vast academy, elves, humans, dwarves, half-humans, gnomes, and even domestic fairies all appeared before her eyes, speaking in the common tongue with a Carterburg accent. "Hey, Ginny, dear little one, did you fall asleep in the lab again today?" A particularly beautiful Thainan girl was greeting Rewo. This made Rewo realize—she must be possessing one of her descendants, likely named Ginny. So she nodded and hurriedly pushed the chair to run over, while searching her memory, which helped her recall her name: "Mami, what’s wrong with you." Today she was not wearing the academy uniform, and the mage robe Rewo wore was not actually a mage robe, but the distinctive clothing of domestic fairies. "I’m going to transfer to New Hangzhou." The girl said with a smile. "Transfer? Why?" Rewo asked curiously. "My father asked me to become someone’s adopted daughter, perhaps it will be a few years before I return." As she mentioned this, the girl’s face was somewhat gloomy, but she still smiled at Rewo: "Ginny, I’m not like you, you are the rising star of the Gaiates." At that moment, the world seemed to have paused, and Rewo turned her head, seeing a black-robed figure standing at the academy’s entrance. "Rewo... why have you come?" There seemed to be some confusion and surprise in his voice, but ultimately he shook his head: "Fate has changed, go back, my beloved, do not delve deeply into this era anymore, this is the future era, the era of those who come after, not our era." ... Malin! My beloved! You still exist in this era!! Upon recognizing the black-robed figure before her, Rewo felt a sensation of weightlessness. The next second, she struggled to sit up from her chair, looking at the familiar laboratory before her, she finally thought of that black-robed figure... no, it must be the most familiar person, though there was a feeling just out of reach, Rewo could still discern that she was losing all memories of him. What is going on, why is she beginning to forget that black-robed person, why? "Madam." The laboratory’s door was opened, and her Chief Apprentice looked at her, face full of joy: "We have new business again, Madam, the Eastern Kingdom has sent a new order." "I know, tell the potion factory to work overtime, I will pay everyone overtime wages." After saying this, Rewo furrowed her brows, she seemed to remember what she had just been thinking about, but didn’t know why, she had forgotten it all again. After thinking for a while longer, Rewo finally stood up—rather than worrying here over forgotten matters, she might as well go back to rest. Hmm, what is Malin doing now. As she closed the lab door, Rewo suddenly pondered this inexplicably in her mind. My beloved, may the Goddess of Fate bless your safety, may you achieve your wishes, may we... truly not lose you. By five in the morning, Malin was already up, the outside of the camp was very calm, Malin walked outside, from waking up, he felt the presence of life outside the camp, he saw a small thick tail exposed in the frost-covered grass. Little Spotty followed beside Malin, it examined the tail, until the owner of the tail was startled awake by Malin throwing a piece of meat onto it, little snow leopard jumped up, followed by its mother. Snow Leopard lady and Snow Leopard miss instinctively wanted to flee after jumping up, but under Malin’s comforting, they realized that what landed on them was food, so the little leopard indifferently began to eat, while her mother sat there waiting. Her wait was rewarded by Malin, who turned his head, stretched out his hand, a silly roe deer came rushing from the woods, under Malin’s spiritual energy arrangement, it placed its neck into Malin’s hand. Malin twisted its neck and then threw it in front of this mother, this mother did not immediately eat, but looked at little Spotty, after little Spotty displayed a disinterested manner, she lowered her head and voraciously devoured. And Spotty’s elegance also gained Malin’s approval, stroking and the best wild boar hind meat comprised Spotty miss’s breakfast. After the two big and one small snow leopards finished eating, Malin turned back to camp, the little cub scampered ahead of Malin, Malin turned his head, saw the mother sitting there, she did not move, the owner of the shrunken abdomen and frail body watched her child, but did not utter a summon. "You, are you intending to entrust your child to me?" A hint of solemnity appeared on Malin’s face, he examined the lady, finding she was indeed too thin, and her child seemed not in good shape either, compared to Spotty miss, this cub was smaller, which represented this mother-daughter pair suffered from hunger. The mother lowered her head, uttering a cry nearly pleading from a mother, Malin could feel her meaning, she was bidding farewell to her child. That cub ran back too, it arrived at its mother’s feet chirping, seemingly wanting to call its mother to enter the camp together, but its mother finally nudged it with her head, then turned to walk toward the fields without a moment’s hesitation. Malin reached out, grabbed this little fellow, which struggled and howled, until its mother disappeared into the tall grass. Malin carried the little fellow back to the camp, spiritual energy replaced her mother comforting her, the cub slept on Malin’s shoulder, after he returned to camp, he found Maya was already up, she looked at the cub on Malin’s shoulder, showed a smile that seemed just as predicted. "Malin, you are deeply loved by snow leopards." "Indeed, so are they, and so are you." Malin smiled as he handed the cub in his arms to Maya, under Maya’s comforting the cub quickly fell asleep, and after checking the little fellow, Maya reported it was somewhat malnourished. In Malin’s view, these creatures existed as pets for humans a long time ago, even after such a prolonged time, when real humans appear before them, mothers unable to sustain their own cubs ultimately choose to trust the humans in front of them—that should be a sense of trust engraved in their genes. Even with such trust, Malin would never betray it. Thus, when the Rhinoceros Team set out again, the nest originally belonging to Pip on Malin’s rhino back had a small new resident, named by Maya as Mushroom field Snow Leopard sharing it with Pip. As the Rhinoceros Team passed through the tunnel under the highway and ran uphill along the road, Malin saw the mother on the distant hillside top, tearing a deer apart. Perhaps noticing Malin’s gaze, she raised her head. At that moment, the lady licked her bloody lips, once the burden of a child disappeared, the pride of a huntress enabled her once again to be the freest and most unyielding hunter in this world. Malin smiled and patted Mushroom’s head sticking out from the nest, the cub still recognized her mother, she chirped until the Rhinoceros Team moved far away, she reclined back in the nest, the lamenting cub curled into a ball, until being embraced by Malin. Child, do not grieve, come before me, your mother altered the destiny where you would inevitably die of starvation, some lifeforms perhaps cannot walk together, even with ample food, you and your mother cannot live together forever. You and her will eventually separate, you will have your life, your offspring, your future, so too will your mother, you were once the most beautiful hunters on the plateau, humans give you a broader hunting ground, make the most of it. Remember, child, all creatures compete freely beneath the frosty sky.
