After transmigrating into the body of a wicked female, her beast husband's affection level incr

Xu Wan took two steps back and quickly estimated the distance out of the corner of her eye.

It's too close. Before she can even draw her weapon, the other person's claws will already be slicing open her throat.

【Chief, what should we do?】

【Xu Wan, try controlling your supernatural abilities, just like last time in the forest.】

Her eyes lit up slightly; she hadn't used it in so long that she had almost forgotten about it.

But before that, she had to find a way to lower the other party's guard.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

The other person moved their wrist, seemingly surprised that she wasn't too frightened to speak, and a hint of interest flashed in their eyes.

Aren't you scared?

"I'm scared." She made her voice tremble slightly, trying to appear calm.

"But I don't want to die without knowing why. At least I need to know who's trying to hurt me, right?"

"Harm?" the other party scoffed.

"Little female, it seems you haven't grasped reality yet. I... am here to kill you."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, she collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Impossible... If you kill me, the Ancestor will punish you!"

The other person seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter.

"The progenitor? The progenitor has been dead for so long, and you still believe in this kind of punishment?"

After laughing enough, he looked at her with a hint of pity. "Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"With the protection of the Beast King, even if I kill you, nothing will happen to me."

Xu Wan's expression froze for a moment.

"The Beast King? Wasn't it killed by the Primordial Ancestor?"

"As long as there is war and darkness, the Beast King will never perish!"

The other person opened their arms wide, their tone carrying an almost manic certainty.

He looked down at her, and the smile on his lips slowly turned cruel.

"As long as I kill you, Du Yu and the others will die, and I can become the new master of Dark Night City. At that time, the Beast King will surely descend!"

He squatted down and shook his head regretfully.

"Although you're ugly, you have beautiful eyes. After I kill you, I'll gouge them out and keep them carefully."

He revealed his sharp claws.

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being the mistress of Wataru and Byakuya..."

It's now!

Xu Wan closed her eyes tightly and hissed, "Stop!"

The expected pain did not come.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked at the claw that was less than two centimeters away from her, and swallowed hard.

The other party clearly did not expect that he would be controlled by a weak female.

He tried to break free, but his body seemed to be firmly nailed down by something unseen, unable to move an inch.

"Who...who are you?!"

Xu Wan propped herself up and took two steps back. With a flick of her wrist, the Flaming Gun appeared in her hand.

With the gun pointed at his forehead, she chuckled softly, "Let me give you a piece of advice: villains... die from talking too much."

"Bang!"

The gunshot startled many birds in the forest, and Du Yu and Bai Ye, who had come looking for her by following the scent, naturally heard it as well.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong, and quickened their pace.

A dark bullet hole appeared between the man's eyebrows, and he fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Xu Wan poked his body again with the gun barrel.

Once it's confirmed that the person is absolutely dead and there's no possibility of them coming back to life.

All her strength was instantly drained, and she collapsed straight to the ground.

The gravel cut her knee, but she could no longer feel the pain.

She was very close when the shot was fired, and inevitably her clothes were stained with blood and other substances.

The air was now thick with the lingering stench of blood.

Her stomach, which had finally calmed down, convulsed again, and the nausea she had suppressed surged back up.

She lay on the ground, but couldn't vomit anything.

"vomit……"

【Xu Wan…】

The system stood in the space, looked down at its hand that could not materialize, and lamented that it could do nothing.

"I'm fine."

She replied in a hoarse voice, wiped her mouth, and took out two more tonic pills from her backpack, forcing herself to swallow them.

The sweet and sour taste of hawthorn slightly lessened her nausea.

She stood up, swayed a couple of times, picked up her musket, turned and left without giving the corpse on the ground another glance.

If she wasn't mistaken, some major forces within Beast City had already pledged allegiance to the Beast King.

Even worse, the entire city may have already been infiltrated.

Yun Shu and the others going to the prayer meeting... was just sending themselves to their deaths!

She shook her head. "We can't delay any longer. Once we find the item, I have to go back and stop my mother and the others!"

My mental strength gradually recovered, and my mind became much clearer.

She put the firearm back in her backpack, took a deep breath, and started running towards her destination with the navigation on.

When Du Yu and Bai Ye arrived, there was only a cold corpse on the ground.

Bai Ye lowered his eyes and stared for a while. "He is one of ours. I guessed right. Someone has betrayed Dark Night City."

Wataru's gaze, however, fell on the muzzle of the gun on the corpse—it was burned through by flames.

Last time in the forest, there were identical marks around the fourth-tier ferocious beast that was blown to pieces.

He had met the little female fox-woman beast mate, and she did indeed possess fire-based abilities.

He initially thought he killed the ferocious beast, but now that he thinks about it carefully...

The other party's superpower and this kind of fire are completely different.

If it wasn't that fox, then who was it?

A sudden answer popped into his mind that he himself couldn't believe.

"Bai Ye, do you think a female can kill a fourth-tier ferocious beast?"

The other person seemed to have heard something absurd and glanced at Du Yu.

"I may call you crazy, but you're not so delusional as to be talking nonsense, are you? A female killing a ferocious beast? How can you put those two things together in one sentence?"

"Other females can't do it, but she can?"

Bai Ye paused for a moment, then looked down at the corpse in front of him again. The fatal wound between his eyebrows was indeed somewhat strange.

"You mean... this was dried by the little female?"

Du Yu didn't respond, but turned around and chased after the fading fragrance.

After walking quite a distance, he finally replied, "Besides her, I can't think of any other answer."

Little female, how many secrets do you still hold? And where are you going now?

Du Yu didn't know the answer. He felt that even if the other person stood in front of him, they probably wouldn't tell him.

They're not that close yet...

Xu Wan stood outside the cave, hesitating for a long time before daring not to go in.

The insects she encountered last time left her with a deep psychological scar.

Based on her level of acceptance of this kind of thing, it's estimated that she would be alone without anyone by her side.

She might be so terrified that she would blow the hole apart with a fireball.

She swallowed hard. "Master, do I absolutely have to go into this hole?"

Is there some kind of magic spell like "Open Sesame" that will make the things in the cave come out to find her?

Just as she was lost in thought, the stone in the animal skin bag seemed to sense something and moved a few times inside the bag.

She took the stone out and held it in her palm, a sudden inspiration striking her. "Will you take me to find it?"

The stone bounced twice, as if in response.

It has been fed its fill with beast crystals every day during this period. As the king, it should take care of its feeder.

People, follow me, and I'll take you to find some good stuff!
