Chapter 139 A Promise of Candy

The therian looked completely puzzled.

Matthew said simply. “He’s hungry.”

The therian leaned closer to the child. “You’re hungry?”

Finished

Startled by the sudden closeness, the child immediately stopped crying. His face flushed red as he bit his lip and nodded. “Yeah… my stomach’s growling.”

The therian smiled. “Wait here.”

The mountain path was difficult to walk, and the child was young, stumbling along clumsily. Within moments, he had already fallen twice. The therian simply scooped him up and held him in one you a sub-therian or a therian?”

The child didn’t understand.

The therian pinched his cheek. “Don’t tell me you’re a little fool?”

arm

“Are

That part, the child understood. Knowing it wasn’t something nice, he quickly defended himself. “I’m not a fool.”

Matthew followed beside them and asked quietly, “Why don’t you know your own tribe then?”

“I…” The child couldn’t explain and grew flustered, his eyes reddening again. “A tribe is… a home… My home is in Highland Creek Village. If you take me back, my grandma will cook you a big, fat chicken…”

Father and son exchanged a glance, their expressions complicated.

The highland climate was cold, and the child was shivering violently. The therian had no choice but to tuck him into his beast-hide robe.

Not far away stood a tree with a few sparse fruits hanging from its branches. Matthew climbed up with remarkable agility.

The child poked his head out from the robe, eyes wide with amazement. “You’re so amazing! Just like Molly from my house.”

Molly was the tabby cat Zachary’s grandparents kept-she could climb trees to catch birds and hunt mice on the ground, a true little tyrant of the village.

The more Zachary watched, the more something felt off. That child was clearly himself as a boy. Could it be…. Had I once come to this world before? The thought made his heart tremble.

Matthew didn’t understand the child’s chatter. Standing on his toes, he handed him a fruit. “Eat.”

The child looked at the fruit in his hand and swallowed. After crying for so long, his throat was parched.

“Thank you.” He quickly took a bite. “It’s so sweet! Just like candy.”

Matthew looked up. “What’s candy?”

Chapter 139 A Promise of Candy

“Candy?” The child paused. “Candy is… candy. It’s sweet and really tasty! You’ve never had any?”

Matthew shook his head.

Finished

The child immediately felt sorry for him and said earnestly, “When I get home, I’ll buy you lots of candy. My grandpa always sneaks me pocket money, and I’ve been saving it. I’ll buy you lollipops, malt candy, plum candy…” As he spoke, he started drooling.

The therian found it amusing. Even if the kid was a little slow, he was still pretty adorable.

Seeing the child still chatting with Matthew, he crouched down while holding him. The next second, the child reached out his small hand and, like an adult Matthew’s head. “I keep my promises.”

Chapter 139 A Promise of Candy

“Really?!” The child’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Really.”

Thinking about seeing the boy turn into a “big kitty,” the child gathered his courage, clenched his teeth, and jumped with his eyes shut.

But his beast-hide clothing snagged on a branch, leaving him dangling in midair, swaying back and forth. He kicked his legs, confused-something didn’t feel

1. ht. The moment he opened his eyes, he burst into loud sobs.

The therian hadn’t expected this either, and Matthew froze for a second. Father and son quickly got him down, flustered as they tried to comfort him.

“Don’t cry anymore. I’ll pick more fruit for you

in a bit.”

The child sniffled, lips trembling. “I want to see the big… big kitty…”

“Stop crying. I’ll show you.” Matthew untied his beast-hide clothing and transformed into a small black panther, walking over to him.

“Big-no, no… a little kitty…” The child’s eyes widened in awe as he stretched out his small, pale hands. “C- Can I pet you?”
