The Prehistoric System in the world of Fantasy-Chapter 177: Level 30 Nebula

After a while;

Xuan Hei, filled with satisfaction, curled on the bed beside him in its small wolf form, belly full from spirit cores, eyelids heavy. He reached out to stroke the pup for a while before he mumbled. "Alright, now for the next..."

"Summon, Activate. Select Nebula."

Thousands of kilometers away, back in Huaxi City's Fang Fang Pet store, Nebula was seen sleeping on the couch of his private residence on the sixth floor, curled in one of the blankets that had his scent.

Since he spent much of his time on the couch, whenever he stayed in the private residence, it gave him less anxiety compared to other places.

Her breath had been slow, steady… until the call reached her mind, like a jolt.

"Come..."

Her crimson eyes snapped open. Unlike lesser-grade beasts, she could resist a summon. But she didn't.

She answered.

In the next instant, darkness folded around her like a cocoon and then peeled away inside the hotel room, revealing Nebula standing on the carpet.

The demonic mist dissipated in a soft pulse of violet light, leaving her naked, and trembling with emotion, she spotted Lin Fang sitting there a few feet away from her, in his bathrobes.

For a heartbeat, she simply looked at him—no words, no hesitation.

Then she moved.

"Master…" Her voice cracked as she rushed forward with her juggling mounds, pushing Lin Fang back onto the mattress with more force than she intended.

Her arms wrapped tight around his neck, her warmth flowing against his chest as if she feared he might vanish again.

Lin Fang blinked, startled, but his hands instinctively stabilized her waist.

She pressed her forehead to his jaw. "I missed you… I missed you so much."

Her breath shook against his skin. "Atleast before, even if you had stayed away, I could have sensed your presence. But during the past few days, I couldn't sense you at all. Not even the faintest thread. I thought something had happened. I couldn't sleep unless I stayed where your scent was strongest."

Her fingers curled into his back, not seductive—desperate.

However, for Lin Fang, his mind was in a mess.

Nebula's naked breasts pressed against his bare abdomen, as the bathrobe tie was loosened earlier by her sudden lunge.

As heat built up in his body, and blood rushed to the lower part of the waist, Nebula blinked for a second in surprise, feeling something of a bulge, hitting her stomach. Sensing arousal in Lin Fang, she looked back at him and asked innocently, "Master, have you finally decided to mate with Nebula?"

"No," he said quietly, clearing the heat from his voice and trying to suppress his desires and temptations.

Forget the fact that he wouldn't want to go down into the depravity of sleeping with the demon, even if it is someone else; he would still refuse her advances, as he is in a relationship right now with Li Liu. He wouldn't think of cheating, and just the fact that he was sexually aroused disgusted and embarrassed him.

"I'm not… interested. Sit up." In the end, as he forced out those words,

She froze in slight disappointment but obediently sat up. Lin Fang then rose from the bed, straightening the robe clinging to his skin, and crossed to the hotel closet. The wooden door creaked open, and he pulled out a spare bathrobe, soft and unused.

"Wear this."

Nebula watched the fabric settle into her hands. She slipped into the robe with deliberate grace; even that small motion carried an instinctive sensuality she never seemed aware of. Once tied, she sat where he pointed—on the edge of the bed, posture neat as if awaiting command.

Lin Fang exhaled and knelt on the carpet. With a flick of his wrist, he then summoned a small mountain of spirit cores from his inventory—glowing stones tumbling across the floor like scattered stars. Their radiance painted the room in fractured colors.

Xuan Hei reacted instantly, waking up from the sleep it was having earlier.

The little wolf cub's nose twitched, and its pupils dilated, and it padded forward with a greedy gaze. Saliva already gathered at the corner of its jaw.

"Xuan Hei." Lin Fang's tone lashed through the room. "Dinner is over. Sit."

The cub froze mid-step, ears flattening guiltily before it slunk back to Lin Fang's side.

Nebula, on the other hand, gazed at the spirit cores with an expression between hunger and reverence. Her demonic instincts flickered beneath her skin like embers.

Lin Fang gestured to the feast. "These are for you. Eat. Consider it your treat for looking after our store..."

A soft glow rose in Nebula's eyes. "Master rewards Nebula?" Her voice dipped low, touched with gratitude that felt deeper than any hunger.

"Grow stronger," Lin Fang said. "In the near future, you won't be a guard but you will follow me to the dungeons and help me get stronger too."

"can't wait for that day, Master."

Nebula then dipped her head… and then she changed. her horns came back.

Her fingers sprouted faint claw-lines, not grotesque but elegant, shaped for breaking stone and delicate enough to hold glass. She picked up the first core and consumed it. A flash of demonic fire ignited in her throat—quick, contained, efficient.

One by one, the pile shrank.

One by one, her aura swelled.

The room vibrated faintly each time her level rose.

Level 4…

Level 5…

Level 16…

By level 28, every rare-grade core had vanished. Nebula steadied her breath, sweat forming at her temples as her body adapted to the rapid infusion of power.

Lin Fang frowned. "Still short…"

He hesitated only a moment before pulling out seven epic-grade spirit cores he thought of putting away for store sales.

Nebula took them without fear.

When the sixth core dissolved into her body, her aura erupted, almost causing the entire building to tremble just like Xuan Hei, but it was only for a fraction of a second before her aura returned to normal.

While she pushed back her horns and her claws to appear like a giant lady, as her master always wanted to appear, Lin Fang waited for a notification that he reached S-rank, but that notification didn't appear.

However, other notifications chimed in his head.
