Trash Heir: My System is Different

Chapter 32: The Wind Wolf Evolution

"You're awake! You're awake!" Kael Stormwind jumped back like a startled rabbit, his face turning red as he stammered, "I... I just happened to pass by. The moon is so beautiful tonight, so I came out to take a look!"

"It's getting late, I should go back, right?"

"Right!"

In a flash, Kael Stormwind dashed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him, as if escaping from a ferocious beast. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.

"Calm down, calm down!" Kael Stormwind splashed cold water on his face, taking deep breaths. The moonlight illuminated the courtyard, and the sound of crickets filled the air. Under the moonlight, Kael Stormwind's handsome face was like a piece of fine jade, glowing softly.

Looking closely, his facial features were extremely delicate, with skin as smooth as jade. His eyes were clear and bright, like the most beautiful gemstones, and his thin lips curled into a faint smile. At this moment, he was like an immortal descending to earth.

Kael Stormwind wasn't the type to be easily flustered by such things. He quickly adjusted his mindset, not letting this small incident affect his plans for the night.

After much thought, Kael Stormwind decided to channel his energy into the Forest Wolf.

To make things easier for himself that night, Kael Stormwind had asked Hugo to release the Forest Wolf before he started drinking.

At this time, the Forest Wolf was lying in Kael Stormwind's backyard.

The reason Kael Stormwind could form a contract with Blaze was with the help of a contract scroll. However, Hugo was just an ordinary person with poor talent, so directly upgrading the Forest Wolf to mid-rank Mortal Level wouldn't be good for him.

Entering the beast space with his consciousness, Kael Stormwind took out a Breeze Herb and a Healing Pill. Then he retrieved a high-quality first-rank wind-type beast core from his storage ring. With his enhanced strength, first-rank beast cores were still easy to crush. Kael Stormwind took out a stone hammer and slowly crushed the beast core, grinding it into powder after a long time.

The reason he took so long was that Kael Stormwind was afraid that hitting it with a hammer would wake everyone up.

Collecting the powder, Kael Stormwind accidentally mixed in a little lime from the ground, but it didn't matter since he wasn't the one who would be eating it.

Kael Stormwind put the beast core powder, Breeze Herb, Healing Pill, and other ingredients into a pill bottle. He pulled a straight branch from the green tree in the courtyard and stirred the mixture in the bottle for a while, then added pure water.

Now the liquid in the bottle was dark green, and Kael Stormwind nodded in satisfaction.

To be safe, Kael Stormwind prepared some healing honey in case of any accidents. This husky... wolf had been with Hugo for a while, and as Hugo's first beast, Kael Stormwind didn't want anything bad to happen to it.

The Forest Wolf was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly. Kael Stormwind was speechless—did this guy have no sense of vigilance at all?

The sound of grinding was so close, yet it didn't wake him up.

Under the bright moonlight, the Forest Wolf's brown-black fur fluttered in the wind.

"Too bad it's not silver; that would look much better..."

Kael Stormwind pinched the Forest Wolf's mouth. The wolf woke up with a start, struggling frantically and emitting low whimpers.

"Shh, don't make noise, it's me!"

Hearing Kael Stormwind's familiar voice, the Forest Wolf stopped struggling. A wise light appeared in its eyes, and it seemed to instantly understand the situation.

At this moment, Kael Stormwind was holding its mouth with one hand and a bottle of dark green liquid with the other, which emitted a strange fragrance.

"He wants to poison me!"

Kael Stormwind had just activated the telepathy function to see what this silly dog was thinking, and this was the first thing he heard.

"As soon as he lets go, I'll run! This stupid kid can't catch me!"

"But that poison smells so good, maybe I should drink it before running?"

Kael Stormwind wasspeechless. This guy was really "wise"—didn't he realize he had no chance of escaping?

Using his leg to hold the Forest Wolf down to prevent it from escaping, Kael Stormwind used two fingers to open its mouth and poured the evolution liquid in before it could react.

After finishing, Kael Stormwind released the Forest Wolf.

The Forest Wolf tasted the "poison." Although the process was wrong, the result was the same—it ran away without thinking. A warm current flowed through its body, making its steps gradually lighter.

It ran faster and faster, but it didn't realize it was just circling around Kael Stormwind and not getting far at all.

Kael Stormwind couldn't help but worry about Hugo's future life. This guy was now an evolved husky—when it started demolishing houses, Kael Stormwind wondered if Hugo could handle it.

A breeze blew around them. The Forest Wolf's fur turned slightly green, and its body became larger and more muscular.

Kael Stormwind immediately checked its information.

[Name]: Gale Wolf
[Quality]: Low-rank Mortal
[Realm]: Common Beast
[Evolution Path]:
Swift Gale Wolf → Cloud Gale Wolf → Wind Spirit Wolf (Low-rank Spirit)
[Evaluation]: A wolf with wind power, capable of manipulating wind elements in battle.

It was the first time Kael Stormwind saw a beast with so many evolution steps. This guy seemed a bit special.

He looked back, feeling like someone was watching him earlier, but now that faint feeling of being watched was gone. Kael Stormwind wasn't sure if he was just imagining things.

There was no System reward this time—apparently, these things were one-time achievements.

The Gale Wolf was still running around. Kael Stormwind decided not to bother with it; after it was done entertaining itself, it wouldn't have the energy to tear up the house.

Kael Stormwind went back to his room to sleep. He hadn't had a good rest in days.

When he entered the room, he smelled a faint fruity fragrance. He shook his head, thinking he must be hallucinating—he was even smelling Lira's scent here.

"I really need to find a chance to start a relationship," Kael Stormwind thought to himself.

For some reason, Lira's shadow appeared in his mind again. Kael Stormwind quickly cleared his thoughts.

"This maid has been with me for so long. If I had any feelings for her, I would have acted long ago."

With that thought, Kael Stormwind lay down and closed his eyes, drifting into sleep after a while.
