I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

There was no turning back now. Everyone followed Xue Youyou's example, lying flat on Tian Yubai's palm, closing their eyes, and waiting for the unknown impact to arrive.

Finally, Tian Yu Bai's enormous body, along with everyone in its palm, was completely swallowed by that bird's beak that seemed capable of devouring everything. Boundless darkness surged in from all directions like a tide.

I don't know how much time has passed.

It could be a fleeting moment, or it could be a considerable period of time.

When Xue Youyou opened her eyes again.

What comes into view is a rather old ceiling, bearing the marks of time. There are even a few fine cracks in the corners, like wrinkles etched by time.

Xue Youyou blinked, and a rare look of confusion and bewilderment appeared in her usually calm eyes.

Who is she?

Where is she?

What happened?

Her memory seemed to falter at some point, as if a piece had been neatly cut off with scissors. Her last memory was of being sucked into a bird's beak and swallowed by darkness.

She had no recollection of what happened after that, and then... she ended up in this state.

Xue Youyou sat up slowly, and the somewhat rough thin blanket covering her slipped off. She found herself lying on a simple iron-framed bed with clean, moon-white sheets.

The space she was in appeared to be a room. More accurately, it resembled a prison cell.

Because when Xue Youyou looked up, she could clearly see the cold, solid iron bars behind the bed, which isolated the place from the outside world.

The sudden sight of tears behind bars made Xue Youyou tilt her head, a big question mark appearing on her little head.

She subconsciously moved her neck and immediately felt a cool, icy sensation against her skin.

She reached out and touched it; it felt cold and hard, like a metal collar.

However, it does not affect breathing or cause any discomfort.

Xue Youyou decided to ignore it for the time being. After all, figuring out the current situation was more important than dealing with the collar around her neck, whose purpose she didn't know.

Just as Xue Youyou lifted the blanket, preparing to get out of bed and explore, a soft voice came from the opposite bed, carrying three parts probing, three parts unease, and four parts bewilderment.

"A... a haunting sound?"

"Yes, I just woke up." Xue Youyou paused for a moment, then calmly replied.

She noticed when she woke up that there was another person in the bed opposite her. She wasn't alone in being locked up here; she had a fellow inmate.

Lu Yutang poked half her head out from the opposite bed, her long hair a little messy, her face still showing the sleepiness of just waking up and a trace of lingering panic, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.

Xue Youyou glanced at her, knowing in her heart that she probably wouldn't get anything out of her, but out of caution, she still asked, "Do you know what happened?"

As expected, Lu Yutang knew nothing about it either, and just shook her head blankly.

Her memory, too, stopped at the moment Tian Yubai was sucked into the bird's beak. Everything after that was a blank.

"Maybe everyone is in the same boat as us now."

As Xue Youyou spoke, she nimbly climbed down the ladder beside the bed.

The bunk bed structure was somewhat similar to the student dormitory in her previous life, giving her a strange sense of familiarity.

However, this dormitory is much more spacious than I remember. At least I don't have that cramped feeling of bumping into things when I turn around. Compared to that, the student dormitory in my previous life was much sturdier.

Under the bed, right next to the table, there was a simple storage cabinet. Xue Youyou walked to the table and glanced at the surface.

There were only three things on the table: a blank sheet of paper, a black ballpoint pen, and a bottle of blue medicine of unknown purpose in a transparent test tube-shaped jar.

The medicine sloshed gently in the bottle, emitting a dim, slightly metallic glow.

Xue Youyou picked up the bottle of blue potion and examined it carefully for a while.

Even with her experience and knowledge from both lifetimes, she couldn't identify what it was.

Naturally, she dared not try the unknown potion lightly, so she carefully put it back in its original place.

After checking her own desk, Xue Youyou walked to Lu Yutang's bedside and looked at her desk, where the same three items were placed.

Then, Xue Youyou began a thorough search of the entire room.

The room was small and its layout was extremely simple; she finished inspecting it in no time.

The result was as she had expected: it was just an ordinary, bare room with no secret passages or mechanisms. The only exit was the tightly locked iron gate.

At this moment, Lu Yutang finally became more sober and, seeing Xue Youyou's actions, understood her current situation.

In other words, everyone lost consciousness after being sucked into the mouth of that strange bird.

Now she and Xue Youyou are in the same room.

This thought immediately brightened Lu Yutang's eyes, and she felt overjoyed.

Regardless, if everyone was in the same situation as them, being locked in a room in pairs, then her being assigned to the same room as Xue Youyou was undoubtedly an incredibly lucky event.

Lu Yutang immediately became extremely alert, her lingering confusion vanishing completely.

She threw off the blanket and hurriedly climbed off the bed, her movements filled with an indescribable joy.

As she walked up to Xue Youyou and stood face to face, she saw that Xue Youyou seemed to be about to say something.

However, Lu Yutang's gaze was first firmly captured by something on Xue Youyou that she had never seen before.

She was startled by the dim light emanating from the blue potion on the table.

At this moment, Xue Youyou's clothes were completely different from the Lanzhi Academy student uniform that she was so familiar with.

It was a moon-white princess dress that she had never seen before.

The dress was intricately and exquisitely designed, perfectly complementing Xue Youyou's slender figure and highlighting her naturally aloof and ethereal气质, making her appear like a fairy from the moon palace.

On the soft fabric, there are subtle silver moonlight patterns, and every slight movement brings up a shimmering moonlight.

The skirt reached to the ankles, with delicate, frosty lace adorning the edges, yet it featured two elegant slits at the waist, subtly revealing the lines of the calves as the wearer walked.

Lu Yutang's gaze lingered uncontrollably on Xue Youyou, and for a moment she was completely mesmerized.

But what caught her most attention was a design detail at the lower abdomen of the dress—a delicate openwork area. The edges of the openwork were embroidered with intricate patterns in silver thread, and beneath it, Xue Youyou's crescent-shaped mark, radiating an eerie red light, was exposed to the air without any concealment.

"what……"

Lu Yutang subconsciously let out a soft cry, and then, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.

She suddenly looked down at the clothes on her body.

really.

Her clothes had also been changed.

Her original Lanzhiyuan uniform was gone, replaced by a blue tight-fitting leather outfit that was completely different from her usual style. On the inside of her thigh, there was also an exquisite cutout, through which the red moon mark was now emitting a faint light.
