Chapter 2: World One — The Human Bride of the Mutated Demon King
Nan Xun let out a cold heh in her heart and said in an exceptionally gentle tone inwardly, “Sweetheart, come out here. I promise I won’t beat you to death~”
A white jade bracelet had appeared on Nan Xun’s wrist. It felt slightly warm, and the Void Beast’s voice rang directly inside her mind.
“You may address this divine beast as Eighth Master,” the Void Beast said.
The corner of Nan Xun’s mouth twitched, “Little Eight, Eighth Master—come on, explain to your big sister exactly what kind of situation this is.”
The Void Beast snorted smugly, “It’s exactly what you see. Considering that you previously questioned this divine beast’s abilities, I directly sent you into a high-level world. This place is very similar to the world I inhabit. You can carefully experience Master’s overwhelming power for yourself, hehe.”
That single hehe instantly shattered the Void Beast’s aloof, high-and-mighty image, making it sound inexplicably down-to-earth.
“Cousin Xuan’er, are you all right?” A flustered male voice suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, Nan Xun felt her wrist tighten as a tall man pulled her behind him.
She was still somewhat dazed when a massive wave of memories was forcibly poured into her mind.
Looking at the tall figure standing protectively in front of her, Nan Xun subconsciously called out,
“Cousin?”
Qin Yuexuan turned his head to glance at her and smiled gently.“Don’t worry, Cousin. With me here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
His eyes curved upward slightly, a smile playing at the corners of his lips—innately charming and romantic.
Qin Yuexuan set up a protective barrier around Nan Xun, then turned to deal with the group of monsters before them.
Nan Xun searched through the memories she had just received. These monsters seemed to be called Demon Moon Wolf Beasts—extremely ferocious creatures that always appeared in packs.
This was a Xuanwu world. The land they were on was called Silver River Continent. Cultivators here were known as Xuan practitioners, and strength was everything—the strong reigned supreme.
At present, Silver River Continent had no emperor. Instead, it was ruled by numerous great aristocratic families, with the Five Great Families at the top.
These Five Great Families were distributed across the east, west, south, north, and center of the continent. Among them, the most powerful family bore the compound surname Zui Li. They were the main lineage of an exceptionally formidable Beast-Taming clan.
What was a Beast-Taming clan?
They were a human tribe born with the ability to communicate with all kinds of beasts, masters of countless heaven-defying witchcraft and secret techniques. Even demon beasts and divine beasts feared them to some extent. They were outrageously powerful.
The body Nan Xun had transmigrated into belonged to the only daughter of the Zui Li clan leader. She ranked ninth within the clan and was named Zui Li Xuan. Her beauty was said to be devastating—so breathtaking it could bring ruin to nations.
Unfortunately—tsk—she was nothing but a pretty pillow: beautiful on the outside, useless on the inside.
Zui Li Xuan hadn’t inherited even the slightest bit of the Beast-Taming clan’s ability to control beasts.
Because of this alone, she became the disgrace of the Zui Li family.
However, now that Nan Xun had taken over this body, she knew better than anyone that this young beauty wasn’t incompetent at all—she was simply too kind-hearted. She couldn’t bear to enslave spiritual beasts, and so she would rather be seen as a useless idiot than force them into submission.
Naturally, the “good-for-nothing” Zui Li Xuan was abandoned by the Zui Li clan and became a sacrificial pawn.
Although her parents loved her dearly, they were powerless against the pressure from the clan elders and the other four great families. In the end, they could only hand her over to be married off to the Demon Beast King—
A being feared by both humans and divine beasts alike: a Four-Clawed Crimson Blood Soaring Serpent.
“Little Eight, is this Four-Clawed Crimson Blood Soaring Serpent… a snake?” Nan Xun asked the Void Beast.
“Yes, hehe,” it replied. “Don’t worry. Although the Demon King’s true beast form is a bit ugly, once he transforms into human form, he’s extraordinarily handsome—elegant, tall, and godlike in beauty. Tsk tsk, you should know that the number of little demons who admire the Demon King could line up all the way from here to the far northern lands—too many to count. You definitely won’t lose out by marrying him. And with your beauty and intelligence, getting that Four-Clawed Crimson Blood Soaring Serpent to abandon darkness and turn toward the light is just around the corner. Master’s merit points are all counting on you.”
Nan Xun’s mouth twitched again.
Why did she suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to hang this round, ball-shaped Void Beast up and whip it a few times?
