"The food in the Interster therian world is so gross... Even the vegetables and fruits taste a little different from how they did back in the human era."


    But then Analise thought-what if the Aetherwell Space could help boost her mind essence?


    After a long internal struggle, she finally chose the Aetherwell Space.


    Sure, the food here tasted bad, but it was still packed with nutrients and actual benefits.


    However, if she ever got injured or her mind essence was overly drained, only the Aetherwell Space could heal and restore her.


    With it, she''d never have to worry about running out of mind essence again. She could purify freely, watch her Purification Value skyrocket, and convert those into points. At that rate, she''d be able to buy anything.


    Having made her decision, Analise spent 275 points to purchase the Aetherwell Space.


    The Aetherwell Space was a small model with limited space, but it was enough for her current needs.


    Afterward, Analise pulled the nket down a little and peeked at Fiy and Scott by her bedside.


    "You''re both asleep?" she whispered quietly.


    She shifted her body a little to reach out and stroke Fiy''s fur, then squeezed Scott''s ear.


    "What''s wrong, Ana?" Both of them asked.


    They weren''tpletely asleep and opened their drowsy eyes to look at her.


    "The floor''s cold. You two should go back to your own cabins to sleep," Analise said with a soft smile.


    "It''s fine. I want to stay with you," Fiy said, nuzzling into her palm.


    Scott twitched his ears and looked at her with a hopeful gaze.


    Analise sighed and gave his head a gentle pat again.


    Once both of them settled back down, Analise turned to her remaining 225 points and started browsing what else she could buy.


    Half an hourter, she had picked up several small self-defense and life-saving gadgets, plus a few different pills.


    Among them was the Body Strengthening Pill, a Reward Store exclusive item that was rather affordable-just five points per pill. Analise bought one to try.


    After finishing her shopping, she peeked out from under the covers and turned


    over to look at the sleeping wolf and tiger by her bed.


    They must''ve been exhausted since both werepletely out cold.


    Analise yawned and finally closed her eyes too.


    When she woke up, Fiy and Scott were already gone from her cabin.


    After getting up and washing up, Analise sat down with the Body Strengthening Pill, studied it for a


    moment, and then popped it into her


    Qu


    mouth.


    It was slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness. The pill melted on her tongue instantly.


    Warmth spread through her entire


    body.


    hade felt as though someone


    had just beaten her up, and every part


    her body was being eaten


    away by ants.


    Sweat beaded up and trickled down her back. But once the heat faded, Analise could feel a noticeable change in her body.


    Catching a faint whiff of sweat, she quickly filled the tub and soaked in a hot bath.


    Once clean, she stepped out of the bathroom wearing only a camisole sleep dress.


    At the same time, Fiy happened to open the door and enter.


    "Ana, you''re awake," he said, Adam''s apple bobbing as his gaze fluttered, unsure where to look.


    Analise''s skin was smooth and fair. Although it wasn''t glowing, it was definitely fairer than most females.


    Her damp hair was draped over her shoulders, and as she moved, her corbones peeked through. She wasusing her soft, fair hands tob through her hair.


    Fiy quickly looked away, his ears and cheeks flushing red. "Ana, are you hungry? I brought you some food. Eat it while it''s hot."


    "Thanks." Seeing his reaction, Analise suppressed her smile as she sat down to eat quietly.


    She could feel Fiy stealing nces at her, so she looked up to meet his eyes. The moment she did, Fiy looked down.


    They repeated this back-and-forth a few times until Analise simply locked eyes with him, not letting up.


    Fiy started feeling ufortable under her gaze and finally blurted out, "Ana... You... You''re really beautiful."


    "Oh? So, I wasn''t beautiful before?" Analise deliberately misinterpreted his words.


    "No! You''ve always been beautiful! I just meant... Today... You''re especially..." Fiy stammered, his ears burning.


    "What about today?" Analise leaned in close to his ear and then gently nibbled on his earlobe.
