The ground, which should have been dark, shimmered with an ethereal glow. As the aircraft descended, Liao Ning’s gaze pierced through the darkness, revealing a surprising sight.
Nestled deep within the forest, a hidden camp unveiled itself before her eyes. Countless airborne vessels dotted the sky, accompanied by vigilant patrol teams on the ground. The emblem of Earl Sam’s clan, an “S” symbol, fluttered proudly on the camp’s flag.
Liao Ning wasn’t the only one taken aback. Sami, too, was filled with astonishment. She was aware that the Sam Family possessed a mercenary army, but such militaristic might was not unique to them; many noble families enjoyed similar privileges, overlooked by the royal family.
However, the Sam Family’s presence was different. Their camp teemed with hundreds of soldiers and housed an impressive arsenal, indicating a formidable strength that surpassed expectations.
Nervously, Sami queried, “Mom, are all these forces part of our army? Are we here to rescue Dad?”
Although she doubted the depth of Liao Xi and Count Sam’s love, she hesitated to suggest that the Sam Family might be engaged in rebellion. During her time in the rebel army, she had noticed the Sam Family making calculated moves. It was evident that these soldiers and weapons had not materialized overnight.
Liao Xi remained silent, instead directing the aircraft to land near a towering structure. She disembarked first, and the soldier, upon sighting her, promptly holstered his weapon. “Madame Countess!”
Acknowledging the soldier’s greeting with a nod, Liao Xi gestured behind her. “Escort this woman to the dungeon and deliver her to Parson. Inform him that she belongs to the Liao Family.”
The two soldiers swiftly escorted Liao Ning away.
Liao Ning found herself transported to the depths of the underground complex, the third level below ground. Unlike the dank and dimly lit prison within the royal castle, this dungeon resembled a scientific laboratory. Soft, white lights adorned the walls, and even the sensor doors emitted a pristine white glow.
She was ushered into a room enclosed by bulletproof glass, with only a single recliner in its midst.
“You hail from the Liao Family? And your hair, too, is white?” A man’s voice reverberated from the loudspeaker.
Liao Ning raised her gaze and encountered a young man with disheveled white hair and black-framed glasses. His white coat was rumpled, clearly reflecting his careless demeanor.
“May I ask your age? You appear to be an adult female wolf, am I correct? White fur, hmm? How potent is your attacking ability?” The man inquired, diligently recording the information in the Al system as part of his planned procedure.
Liao Ning brooded silently, aware of her inability to transform and uncertain of what awaited her. However, she refrained from uttering a word.
“The Liao Family is renowned for their obstinacy; I understand,” the man commented, adjusting his glasses before pressing a button beside him. Instantly, a dense mist enveloped Liao Ning, filling the room with the acrid scent of medicine.
“Fret not, this is an enhanced version of the inducer designed to expedite your transformation. I have other experiments to conduct, so time is of the essence. ”
A repugnant odor assaulted Liao Ning’s senses, and she suddenly felt a wave of weakness sweep over her, causing her to collapse onto the recliner.
“What’s happening?” The man outside swiftly deactivated the button, swung open the glass door, and inhaled the scent of the inducer. He morphed into a scrawny white wolf.
Yet, his fur exhibited a mixture of white and gray hues, uneven and disheveled, reminiscent of his untidy hair.
“You can’t shift forms?” the white wolf queried, trembling as it circled around Liao Ning.
The white wolf sniffed at Liao Ning, expressing helplessness. “I am Parson, possessing the bloodline of the Liao Family. But why do you appear so feeble?”
“Parson!”
As Liao Xi’s voice resonated, Parson reverted to his human form. Utterly helpless, he inquired, “What purpose does such a feeble woman serve? It feels like a waste of time.”
Liao Xi offered him a cold smile and cast a disdainful gaze upon Liao Ning. “She is our remedy.”
“Remedy?” Parson readjusted his glasses, perplexed. “She doesn’t possess the ability to shapeshift. Besides her striking appearance, I fail to discern any usefulness in her.”
As Parson spoke, his eyes widened in disbelief, his expression transforming into one of horror. He stared at Liao Xi, searching for answers. “How did you awaken? And how did you regain your youth?”
Liao Xi rolled her eyes, exasperated. “You’re only realizing this now? That’s precisely why I referred to our beloved Lady Liao as our remedy..”
