Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human

The bottom of the cup struck the saucer with a crisp sound, as if leaving an imprint on this silent oppression.

The wolf cub's howl stopped abruptly.

It shook off its ruffled fur, lowered its head and walked out, its taut hind leg muscles like cast iron, and the arch of its spine held the power to tear through cowhide.

Although no harmful commands were heard.

But everyone could see that the wolf's golden eyes narrowed into two vertical slits, and the fur on its nose wrinkled, constantly radiating the most primal excitement of a beast, a forest predator.

"Your Highness!" Fiss's composure crumbled, and she demanded, "What do you mean by this?"

Xia Yangyang rested her chin on her hand, took a sip of hot tea, and all the fatigue of the day disappeared: "Don't worry, I told it not to hurt you. Madam, come here quickly, don't you still need to trim its nails and chew its teeth?"

"Make it step back!"

"How can you cut your nails after you've left? Doesn't Madam want to complete the Queen's orders as soon as possible and return to report?"

"You—!" Mrs. Fies' composure was about to crumble, the lines on her face trembling with suppressed anger. She stared intently at Xia Yangyang's unchanging face, as if trying to see through the truth in her words.

Just two weeks ago, the weak princess who threatened suicide to end her engagement with King Baholis suddenly changed her attitude. Is she truly fearless, or just a paper tiger bluffing?

She's someone close to the Queen, so I don't believe she'd actually dare to do anything.

"Alright, then I'll believe the princess." Fies reached behind her and took the nail clippers handed to her by the male servant. They were still stained with Hati's blood. She then walked towards it.

Even when the two were face-to-face, the wolf cub, poised to pounce, did not launch an attack.

Fies felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as her hand was about to touch Hati, its hind leg tendon suddenly twitched.

In the blink of an eye.

So fast that there's no time to react, no chance to catch the afterimage.

The white figure soared into the air, and Mrs. Fies's body fell backward uncontrollably, her large, sharp left forepaw hovering in mid-air, beneath which were Fies's wide-open eyes in terror.

The beast's steep shoulder blades slid under its fur, followed by a loud "thud".

The piercing screams mingled with the screams, sending the eagles circling and perched above the princess's palace flying.

"I forgot to mention, although it recognizes its master, it may not necessarily understand human speech." The slow, deliberate female voice echoed in the hall.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Xia Yangyang's lips curved into a smile: "After all, you just said it yourself, it's just an animal."

Everyone was startled by this scene and broke out in a cold sweat.

Angie suddenly looked at the princess, feeling a pang of heartache for the princess he served.

It was at this moment that Angie truly realized that the princess before him was no longer the same person he once knew, inside and out, from top to bottom.

Hati bit Mrs. Faith's left arm, biting off her second finger on her left hand, and then chewed and swallowed it in front of everyone.

Blood trickled down the marble floor of the princess's palace.

Like a scarlet ribbon being roughly torn open and spread out.

System: [Warning! Character deterioration level 30%! A 50% deterioration will trigger a random penalty! Please maintain the character immediately!]

Hati returned to Xia Yangyang's back, squinting his wolf eyes, and licked his injured left hand.

It took several male servants to help Fies up from the ground.

Faith, his face covered in blood and sweat, his old face pale, glared at her with a hateful, vengeful look, as if he wanted to devour her flesh and drink her blood.

"I...I will definitely report everything that happened today to the Queen, down to the last detail!"

With a polite smile, Xia Yangyang stood up and walked slowly to Mrs. Fies. Her chin was slightly raised, and her elegant gown was clean and spotless.

"Lady Faith, I met King Baholith, whom you and Mother chose for me, today. He is very pleased with me, and Mother is very happy."

Mrs. Faith continued to glare at her with piercing eyes, not understanding the meaning behind her words.

No matter what she said, she couldn't reverse the grudge caused by the severed finger.

"Baholism is extremely cold and harsh, and the people are even proud to abduct women. But fortunately, my mother has allowed me to bring a maid of similar age to Baholism on my marriage. I think I need to bring a maid who will be devoted to serving Saint Sveta."

"..." Mrs. Faith paused for a moment, her expression blank.

"Madam, isn't it a coincidence that your only daughter is Miss Freya?"

"..."

"She's on the list of maids too."

Xia Yangyang smiled, her eyes curving into two crescent moons, yet devoid of any warmth. Instead, they resembled a beast lurking in the shadows, silently baring its fangs.

A chill ran from Fiss's head to her feet. She froze for a moment, then suddenly turned and glared at Xia Yangyang with even more ferocity, her fierce protectiveness almost driving her to the brink of death.

"You dare!!!!"

But she was held back by two male servants. If the princess were harmed, everyone would be doomed. Fies could only watch helplessly as Xia Yangyang turned and calmly walked away.

It's strange that he would fight tooth and nail just to mention that kind of place to his own daughter, yet he would happily recommend that the original owner of this body, who was a princess, be married off to a political marriage.

"Madam, you should think this through carefully. Was your finger bitten off by one of the wolves in my palace, or did you accidentally cut it off yourself while clipping your nails because of your failing eyesight?"

"You can say whatever you want, but destroying the deep affection between me and my mother is not something that can be solved by cutting off one of your fingers."

After Fez and his party left, the hall returned to a deathly silence.

Angie summoned two maids to clean the floor, tidying up and replacing the tables, chairs, and carpets splattered with blood and bearing traces of wolf claws.

Hati lay in the shadow of the table, oblivious to the maids' shoes circling around it. Its golden, beastly eyes widened into circles as it intently licked its injured, massive left paw.

The servants worked quickly, and within minutes the palace was transformed.

As usual, Angie helped the princess remove her dress and comb her long hair.

"Oh dear!" Angie's expression changed several times as she looked at the white lace stockings stained red, a pang of sorrow rising in her heart. "Your Highness, the bandage is bleeding. The Queen treated you today..."

Hattie, who was licking his paws, twitched his ears twice, diverting a little attention to listen to what was happening on this side.

"It's the same old trick; you know that's all she can do."

"Sigh... I'll massage your legs for you in a bit."

"Um."

"I'm really worried about you because of what you did today. Faith isn't someone who's easily fooled; what if she tells everyone about what happened today..."

"Anji." Xia Yangyang rested her elbows on the table to relax her neck and shoulders, her fingertips kneading her brow, her eyes half-closed. "Since Mother passed away, we've been hiding. Have they toned down their behavior?"

"I...I just hope you'll be alright."

Xia Yangyang recalled the lingering bitter taste of poison in her throat when she first transmigrated, shook her head and chuckled, then fell silent.

"Your Highness..." Angie lowered his voice, "The origins of that lowly... beastman need to be thoroughly investigated. Although I have never kept a beastman slave, I know that no beastman would act like that. I can't feel at ease having it by your side like this."

Orcs have interbred with humans for countless generations and have long since lost the genes to revert to their beast form.

Furthermore, having been raised in slave markets since childhood and instilled with the idea that they were of lowly status and that human blood was supreme, they knew from birth that they were meant to serve humans. Each one of them was trained to be more obedient than a rabbit, so how could they possibly attack humans? Let alone bite off a human's finger.

This orc is just like a wolf... no, to be more precise, his appearance inevitably evokes some mysterious ancient legend from the last century...

Even a pure-hearted person, someone who never forgets to pray at night, will transform into a wolf on a full moon night when the aconite blooms.

They attack villages and eat livestock and humans.

Angie's thick hands, which were tying up the princess's hair, clenched involuntarily, and she dared not let them loosen any further.

Xia Yangyang sat in front of the dressing mirror, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze slightly tilted to the corner of her eye as she swept over the little wolf reflected in the mirror.

"Yes, it looks quite unusual, doesn't it?"

*

Hati is a pure white wolf with a red eyeliner that slants across each eye and extends to his cheeks, adding a touch of allure to his handsome appearance. His large pink paw pads further indicate that he is underage.

"My palace is full of maids, so it's inconvenient for you to share a bath with them. Just wash here for now, and I'll have the craftsmen build you another bath in a couple of days."

Xia Yangyang led it to her bathing pool and talked to a wolf, which looked very strange.

Hati looked up at her and raised his injured left front paw.

Xia Yangyang pointed to the table in front of its left: "You're so smart. The clothes I prepared for you are on the left. You can wash them and change into them."

Hati Wolf's eyes gleamed, and he bent his left paw, limping around Xia Yangyang once.

Xia Yangyang was amused by its comicality and smiled, "Now is not the time to perform acrobatics. Even if you are a four-wheel drive, you can easily slip in such a wet place."

"Awoo~~~~" The little wolf shook its fur and pointed to the pool.

"Are you saying there's a difference between men and women, and it's inconvenient for you to go into the water while I'm watching?"

"Awoo awoo awoo~~" The little wolf shook its head.

Xia Yangyang nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

"Awoooooo!"

She teased him a couple more times, making the little guy furious, before Xia Yangyang turned and walked towards the exit.

Xia Yangyang felt numb and cold all over: [It wanted to lure me into the water to help it bathe, and then drown me.]

System: [110% environmental hazard level is normal.]

Xia Yangyang: [Why? I just rescued her!]

System: [The thoughts of your target are like a needle in a haystack; you'll have to figure them out yourself.]

Xia Yangyang truly couldn't understand why it wanted to kill her so badly. Perhaps it thought she would mistreat it? But she hadn't done that at all, nor had she shown any terrifying aura.

Why would someone want to kill her? Xia Yangyang couldn't understand.

Just as her hand rested on the handle—

"Splash!" A heavy object fell into the water.

Of course, one has to get into the hot spring to take a bath, but what's abnormal is that there are constant loud splashing sounds, accompanied by the little wolf's intermittent howls as it chokes on water.

Xia Yangyang suddenly stopped, her downward-spinning wrist stiff as a freak.

Seeing that Xia Yangyang hadn't made any move, the system quickly issued a warning: [The target of your pursuit has fallen into the water! She's fallen into the water!]

Xia Yangyang: [No, he's trying to force me to go over by making me fall into the water.]

System: [Huh???]

Xia Yangyang: [Otherwise, why can't it transform back into human form? The pool is only waist-deep.]

System: [Damn! What if it isn't?]

Xia Yangyang: [No, I'll pretend I can't hear you.]

The system, watching the plummeting health points, thought: [His health isn't down to 85% yet?! He wouldn't kill himself if he wanted to kill you!]

Xia Yangyang stepped out with one foot, calmly analyzing: [This further demonstrates his deep cunning.]

The system was dumbfounded: [Your health has dropped to 70%!]

Xia Yangyang gripped the doorknob tightly. After hesitating several times, she closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and ran back.

You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth. There's an old saying: fortune favors the bold.

Sure enough, when we got back, we found it struggling in the water, unable to touch the bottom or grab the shore, choking and thrashing about in a sorry state.

Give me your claws!

She didn't care that her nightgown was getting wet from the splashing water, and knelt by the pool to reach out and grab its paw.

Hati understood her words and reached out his hand to her.

But the moment their hands touched, the furry, snow-white wolf paws suddenly changed, and a long, slender hand with a faint blue tinge grabbed her wrist.

Xia Yangyang's eyes widened, and before she could see what was happening, she felt herself being pulled by a strong force, losing her balance and falling into the pool.

A large hand in the water supported her waist and turned her body around.

The warm water reached her chest, and she could even feel the water pressure coming from all directions.

When I looked again, I was met with a wet, smiling, handsome face.

Her back was against the edge of the hot spring, and the culprit had her injured left leg draped over his shoulder. She was under him, and could only avoid slipping by holding onto his shoulders with both hands.

"Your Highness, do you trust all your friends this much?"
