She finally realized the dead grass around him was smoking-not because it was burning, but because the freezing air met the scorching heat radiating off him, turning the grass brittle and ashy.

“Wait… you’re that hot?”

Annelise reached out to check again, and this time the heat actually made her yelp. “Ow- seriously? Dude, are you sure you’re not a phoenix? With that temperature, you’re gonna give me blisters.”

Then, a very uncharitable thought crossed her mind: If I cracked an egg on him right now, it’d probably fry on the spot.

Her mouth even watered a little. It’s been ages since I had a fried egg. When things calm down, I should try it on each of them-well, except Evan.

Riven was panting, his breath ragged as he forced out, “I’m not a phoenix. I’m… I’m a brimel. Have you ever heard of a brimel? A brimel’s flame is harsher and way more dangerous than a phoenix’s. So you need to leave right now before you get cooked alive!”

He explained that males of his race went into heat differently. Ordinary males just ran a little hotter, nothing unbearable. But brimels were born with extreme internal heat, and when they went into heat, it spiked to its peak.

Even without bursting into flames, they could easily roast small animals just by being nearby. That was why they usually submerged themselves in the ice pits of their tribe.

Where he came from was five to ten times colder than this place. Winter here didn’t even come close to cooling him down. That was why he’d told Annelise to leave.

Annelise had a bold idea. If I touch him without using my spirit energy, I get burned. But what if I use it?

The last time his clothes caught fire, she’d used her spirit energy to keep him from burning through his pants. If it worked again-and considering she had already bonded with Rokky— then maybe her spirit energy was naturally suited to restraining males. That would basically make her the chosen one!

So Annelise slowly reached out, releasing her spirit energy before touching him again. Huh?! Didn’t burn my fingers!

“Well, I’ll be d*mned. I’m not one of those cliche heroines, am I? The kind everyone thought was useless until she suddenly turned out to be the chosen one. Yesterday you all couldn’t be bothered with me, today you can’t even handle me-mwahahaha!”

She grabbed Riven’s wrist and said, “Alright, hand it over. I’m checking your pulse again. I’m not scared of being burned anymore. If I help you through this and you dare snap at me later, I’m telling everyone exactly how pathetic you were today. Right to your face.”

More importantly, Annelise wanted to examine more shifters. The more cases she saw, the more useful she’d become in this world. Now that Snowball had arrived, there wasn’t anything holding her back. She might as well enjoy the good life-well, the good shifter life.

And so Annelise sat there checking his pulse while studying Riven’s body. He struggled at first, but soon the heat had completely fried his senses. He was practically delirious, mumbling only, “Go… Leave…”

By noon the next day, when the sun was bright overhead, Riven slowly opened his eyes. He squinted against the light, then his vision settled on his own arm.

“Huh? Where are my clothes?”

He sat up. First, he saw his bare, long legs, then is abdomen, then his chest. Then it hit him. Riven roared, “Annelise! Crawford, get up-why am I completely naked?!”

Annelise jolted awake, totally disoriented. She stumbled upright. “Who?! Is the chief here? I swear to God, I’ll stab her…”

She ran out of the cave ready to fight, only to find nothing but sunlight. After patting her head, she went back inside.

Even seeing Riven was butt-naked, she acted like nothing was wrong. “What was that for? You scared the sh*t out of me! I thought the chief discovered my plan.”

Sure, she didn’t look scared, but of course she was. Plotting against people wasn’t exactly relaxing.

Riven had curled his long legs up and was frantically searching for his clothes. Then, he finally spotted them under Annelise’s foot, which happened to be where she’d been sleeping. His voice went even colder. “You. Move your foot. And bring my clothes here!”

“Why are you so grumpy? You were shirtless when you followed me home last night.”

Riven pointed at her. “Shut up! Say one more thing, and I’ll make you pay!”

But the moment he lifted his hand, he immediately snatched it back to cover himself. Panic flashed across his face as his imagination ran wild.
