In her previous life, Song Yu was a top actress, popular across the land, but ultimately, due to the intense competition ("involution"), she overexerted herself and dropped dead on the red ...
Most exotic beasts, like humans, possess high intelligence and are capable of independent thought. They can also understand human speech through mental contracts and daily interactions. Conversely, humans can also learn some common animal languages through long-term contact and learning.
But none of these include the fact that cat-like creatures can speak human language!
Bai Yuhan's eyes were fixed on the furry and cute little kitten opposite him, which seemed to have no killing power at all.
He concentrated his mind to a high degree, and was secretly frightened in his heart.
There are at least millions of known species of exotic beasts in the world today, but among these exotic beasts, except for some bird-like creatures that can speak human language, other exotic beasts are unable to imitate human speech.
This is because other beasts, especially mammals, do not have the nervous system to learn to vocalize, while many bird beasts do have this ability.
Because of this, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and the other two can understand what he says and know what he wants to express every time, but they cannot speak human language.
Even the dragon beasts can't do it, but this little white cat in front of you can!
Bai Yuhan took a deep breath and subconsciously pressed the tip of his tongue against his hard upper palate.
I'm afraid that this harmless-looking, furry little creature in front of me is indeed just as it says... It makes people feel horrified, but also curious about its true identity.
"Huh? Are you trying to guess my identity?"
The little white cat's voice was still gentle as it spoke. It squatted on its hind legs and found the ground with its front feet, making a standard squatting posture, with its furry white tail swaying gracefully.
The little white cat tilted its head and smiled. "Actually, you don't have to guess... Although you and your parents have been hiding away for years, and you haven't received any elite family education, as a descendant of the Qin family, you should have heard of the legends about the mythical beast, right?"
"I remember that what you people love most is to record your past achievements... one by one in history books and embellish them."
"I've seen this level of books in the Jin, Yan, and Ye families. I'm sure your Qin family has some too, right?" The kitten tilted its head and spoke slowly, seemingly without any killing power. It gracefully swung its tail and slowly walked forward...
“Crash—”
However, as the white cat gradually approached, Xiaobai, who was originally flying in the air, seemed to have suffered a severe impact and was so shocked that he couldn't even flap his wings.
With a loud crash, it fell straight down from the sky and hit the ground!
Fortunately, after Xiaobai shrunk his body, he was less than two meters from the ground. Otherwise, the image of the Void Dragon as a ninth-level beast would have been instantly destroyed.
But even so, Xiaobai stuttered and folded his wings.
“…” Bai Yuhan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
There were already turbulent waves rolling in his eyes, and at this moment even his breathing was almost stagnant.
A pair of golden eyes of rules subconsciously dilated their pupils slightly.
Bai Yuhan suddenly recalled the story his father told him when he was sick as a child and slept with him...
A story about a mythical beast.
"Yu Han, Daddy is telling you something. When I was little, your grandfather once told me a story. Legend has it that in ancient times, before humans appeared, there was a mythical beast..."
"It created the universe and is almighty. Its flesh and blood can heal any injury, and it can also instantly transform a novice beastmaster into a formidable, high-level beastmaster."
——"Dad, what next?"
"...And then? Of course, it was because it was so powerful that everyone thought it was dangerous. Their presence was terrifying, and they couldn't sleep peacefully... Then, those people looked for an opportunity to kill this mythical beast."
——"Dad, how can we do this?"
The little boy was very angry, and his burning red cheeks were stained with layers of anger. He clenched his little fists, as if he was standing up for the divine beast.
However, the father lying next to the little boy was very calm, and even had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end. He looked at the little boy as if he was looking at a child who had not grown up yet, his eyes full of tolerance.
"Why not this?"
The father patted the little boy's head and didn't give him a perfunctory answer. Instead, he said seriously, "There is nothing impossible in this world. It's only because you don't have enough strength. Once you have enough strength, you can even kill a divine beast."
"If I had to say, what's wrong with that divine beast...it's probably that it's guilty of possessing a treasure."
The father raised his hand to tuck the little boy's quilt in and slowly said, "Just like us... in order to protect our eyes, we need to run around all year round."
"But if we have enough strength, we won't have to worry about enemies, let alone divine beasts..."
"Just like the history book I read from your grandfather when I was a child, it records... our ancestors killed the mythical beast, ate its eyes, and possessed the Eye of Rule... Okay, okay, the story is over for today, you should go to bed early."
…
My father's deep voice still seemed to echo in my ears.
When Bai Yuhan recalled what his father said now, he could clearly feel that when his father said these things, he was lamenting that their family's Eye of Rules was like the flesh and blood of a divine beast. Not having the strength to protect it would be a crime to possess a treasure.
But now, as the little white cat in front of him slowly stepped forward, Bai Yuhan, who happened to be standing directly in front of the little white cat... could clearly feel the pressure brought by the little cat's front paws stepping on the ground every time! And in his mind, those sentences, the historical materials that his father used as bedtime stories...
The young man subconsciously pursed his lips, and looked deeply at the white cat with his deep eyes: "You say that this pair of eyes of rules are yours? What evidence do you have? You can't just say whatever you say is true."
Although Bai Yuhan was half squatting, he was able to stand straight because of the squeeze.
His expression was indifferent, and he seemed nonchalant and calm, but in fact he had already believed most of it in his heart.
He felt that the little white cat in front of him was most likely the original owner of these eyes.
Otherwise, why can the Eye of Rules see through the information of all people and monsters in the world, but can't see through the little white cat in front of it?
Otherwise, why could the cat in front of him speak human language and accurately reveal his identity as a member of the Qin family?
Otherwise, why would Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and the other three, who have already evolved to the ninth level and are the most powerful dragon beasts among all the beasts, be afraid of the little cat in front of them?
All of this shows that the cat in front of him is not simple, and its strength level is definitely above level nine.
The ninth-level beast is recognized as the highest-level and most powerful beast in the world today.
But Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and Qi Cai are afraid of the white cat in front of them.
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be so calm... I thought you would either turn around and run away like a coward. Or you would yell and scream like those members of the Yan and Jin families did before, shouting that you wanted to kill me." The little white cat shook its pink little ears and chuckled softly, as if it had seen a very interesting little toy.
“…” Bai Yuhan remained silent and said nothing.
But his eyes became more and more profound. He half-knelt beside the corpses of Mr. Jin and Mr. Yan, and didn't care about the bloody scene around him, as if even if he squatted in a sea of corpses and blood, it still couldn't shake his emotions at all.
"Can I ask a question? Were you hunting other members of the Jin and Yan families before?" Bai Yuhan had sharp eyes and did not miss the bloodstains under the right hind paw of the kitten opposite him.
The boy's gaze was direct. Baiyue, as a divine beast, was also exceptionally sensitive. He lowered his head to look at his right hind paw, nodded with a smile, and said, "Ah, you really are worthy of my eyes... Even observing small details can accurately grasp them."
“…”Bai Yuhan.
Why does he feel that this divine beast is a bit narcissistic?
If you think about the characteristics of cats, aren’t they arrogant and confident?
Is it normal to think about narcissism?
Bai Yuhan's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he regained his composure immediately. He blinked his deep eyes and asked, "Can I ask what happened to them?"
Little Black and Little White were trembling slightly. The once aloof and slightly irritable dragons now resembled three quiet, timid rabbits, with none of their former killer selves. Bai Yuhan sighed inwardly... Seeing their current state, even if he didn't want to admit the identity of the little white cat before him, it was difficult.
"What will happen?"
The little white cat gracefully wagged its tail and shook its whiskers with a smile. Its slightly hollow, pale golden eyes were filled with joking as it said, "Of course, it decomposes into superphosphate and returns to nature."
"After all... time alone is not enough to restore your original body."
"Aren't you right? Boy from the Qin family." When the white cat said the last sentence, his voice was light and soothing, and he spoke slowly, word by word.
Bai Yuhan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses that calcium phosphate = ashes.
He subconsciously opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before the words even reached his throat, he was choked back by the sudden change in front of him...
I saw in front of me the white cat that originally looked like a small fluffy ball...
It expanded and deformed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Bai Yuhan only felt as if a strong white light flashed before his eyes, and then the white cat opposite him, which was previously a small ball, instantly changed into a blond boy with a slender figure, delicate eyebrows and handsome eyes, and delicate skin like fine white jade.
The boy was wearing a pair of white sneakers and the simplest clothes, a black sweatshirt and jeans.
Just like the outfits of countless high school and college students in the world, they look plain and simple... But when these clothes are worn on the young man in front of him, it seems as if there is an air of nobility and laziness lingering around him.
He raised his eyelids slightly, but his golden eyes, which looked a little empty, made Bai Yuhan a little dazed for a moment.
The blond boy's long hair moved without wind, as if it was born to glow, making Bai Yuhan's pupils shrink slightly.
"...You are... Baiyue?" Bai Yuhan narrowed his eyes and uttered four words with difficulty.
He never imagined that the girl who was previously in the National Talent Training Camp with him would be the divine beast that turned into a teenager in front of him!
——From a cat to a human.
Even if Bai Yuhan couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes, he couldn't hide the fact that the other party was a divine beast.
Presumably, only divine beasts far above the ninth level in the world can transform from alien beasts into human appearance!
His delicate and gentle face was similar to that in the National Talent Training Camp, but his brows were obviously tougher than when he was wearing women's clothing.
It was just Bai Yuhan, but upon closer inspection it was not difficult to discover the other person's narrow and long eyebrows, sword-like brows, and cold, porcelain-white skin that was obviously a little sickly pale, but his aura was not as gentle as the other person's tone. Instead, it was like a sharp sword that was about to be unsheathed with a cold glow!
"You didn't admit your mistake this time." Bai Yue nodded indifferently, and curled the corners of her lips towards Bai Yuhan, revealing an elegant arc.
He tied his long golden hair slightly behind his back, and said as if explaining, or perhaps talking to himself, "Actually... according to my original plan, I should be assigned to the same dormitory as you."
"But...humans are really hard to understand."
Baiyue stroked his chin, his face lost in memories. "That day at the National Talent Training Camp, I wanted to just be casual and go through the motions... but unexpectedly, one of the students who came along turned out to be quite annoying... so after thinking about it, I decided becoming a woman wouldn't be so bad. At least no one would constantly look at my hair... or ask me why a man with such long hair would do it."
The slender fingers with distinct joints tapped lightly on the forehead.
Baiyue's face seemed to hold a mixture of mockery and amusement, with a hint of the gentle smile he had developed over the past few days. "...Some things are too troublesome to explain to people...What I hate most is trouble."
"After finally being resurrected, I still have to waste my time on guys like you. What a shame..."
Bai Yue's eyebrows curved, a smile on his lips, and he casually said the cruelest words: "So... I'm sending you on your way now? I've seen enough of your cat-and-mouse game with those two old guys. It's time to take back my own eyes."
Baiyue slowly walked forward, stretched out the slender white index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and poked Bai Yuhan's eyes.
Bai Yuhan clearly didn't seem to be moving, but at that moment, he felt as if his body weighed a thousand pounds. This invisible force pressed down on him, instantly rendering him unable to move. The colorful creatures beside him, which had been flapping their wings and flying in the air with a sad look on their faces, were already being crushed by the gravity, unable to breathe! With two thuds, they fell to the ground!
"Ah, I didn't expect you to be crushed into a pulp by this gravity yet... I thought you'd be shattered by it. It seems you have more eye fragments in your body than others... After all, my domain always likes to be lenient with my flesh and blood..." Bai Yue muttered to herself, not needing Bai Yuhan's response. With a mere raise of her eyebrows, an even more intense gravity pressed down on Bai Yuhan. The three little creatures, Xiaobai and Xiaohei, who were also being crushed by this gravity, were subconsciously hurt and screamed in pain.
"You...!" Bai Yuhan glared at him angrily when he saw this.
But the strong gravity pressing on him made it impossible for him to say a word. Bai Yuhan's face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blue veins on his forehead were jumping and standing out due to the strong pressure!
Bai Yuhan released his mental power and instantly took Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Qicai back to his own beast-controlling space.
Bai Yue curled the corners of his lips and chuckled, "You're quite quick to react... But I didn't expect that the first thing you thought of wasn't to escape, but to actually take them back to the Beast Taming Space."
Gravity can be applied to objects, but it cannot be applied to mental power.
Mental power cannot be seen or touched, and cannot be touched at all, let alone affected by gravity.
But Baiyue didn't care about the departure of Xiaobai, Xiaohei and the other three...
What he wanted was only the piece of flesh and blood on Bai Yuhan's body that contained the eye fragment, not any other strange beast.
The powerful pressure made it difficult for Bai Yuhan to even open his eyes. Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead with blue veins. The dense sweat instantly gathered into a small stream. Bai Yuhan tried hard to resist the powerful gravitational pressure and looked at Baiyue and spoke word by word.
"They are all strange beasts... I, uh... I hope you can let them go after I die..." With every word Bai Yuhan spoke, he felt his body getting heavier. When he uttered the last word, Bai Yuhan's sportswear was completely wet with sweat. His face was even paler than Bai Yue's at this moment, his lips were bloodless, and his internal organs seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible big hand, as if these internal organs would be crushed into pieces by gravity in the next second!
"...Haha, you can rest assured about this. I don't have any habit of eating raw food now." He has long been accustomed to human food, especially the delicious dishes carefully cooked by Chef Jin, the well-made cat cans, and the fragrant, chewy and crispy dried fish, which are his favorite foods now.
Baiyue chuckled, and her white and slender jade-like hands slowly approached Bai Yuhan's eyes again.
Suddenly, just as Baiyue's fingers were digging into Bai Yuhan's eyeballs, the blond boy suddenly slapped his forehead and sighed, "Oh, I forgot... Eye fragments are inherited through blood from generation to generation. It's not that only your eyes contain my flesh and blood... but they are dispersed in every cell of your body."
"It seems that the Burning Heaven Divine Fire is more suitable for killing people."
Bai Yue raised his hand, and a white energy flame suddenly enveloped his palm. The blond boy stretched his hand forward again, and the white energy flame touched Bai Yuhan's head...
The eyelids scratched by the sharp claws of the divine beast left streaks of blood, and drops of blood fell from Baiyue's eyelids...
It directly dyed Bai Yuhan's pale skin red, which was shocking.
But he just gritted his teeth and stared at the blond boy in front of him without saying a word.
When the time came, Bai Yuhan found that he didn't feel much fear or shock in his heart... Instead, he felt a little regretful.
He felt a little regretful about breaking off the engagement with Song Yu.
If the engagement had not been cancelled, would his name after death have become - Song Yu's unlucky fiancé?
Taking out the two characters "unlucky" in the middle, Bai Yuhan thought this name was quite good...
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Bai Yuhan closed his eyes and no longer looked at the blond boy in front of him.
Facing the death in front of him calmly is the last thing he can do now.
He's been hiding from place to place for so many years, and he's been on constant alert. He's exhausted...
However, just as Bai Yuhan faced death calmly...
However, he did not wait for the scorching heat to fall from above his head. Instead, he suddenly felt that the gravity and magnetic field on his body seemed to become lighter and lighter.
Bai Yuhan: “……?”
Bai Yuhan slowly opened his eyes and raised his head slightly.
Just a slight movement of raising his head made Bai Yuhan feel the heavy weight coming from his neck and head again.
Looking up from Bai Yuhan's perspective.
Baiyue, who had a calm and gentle expression just now, suddenly lost his smile a little bit. He moved his ears slightly and raised his eyebrows.
Although there was nothing around, Baiyue felt like the Monkey King in the TV series, who suddenly heard a message coming from thousands of miles away.
“Hmm…”
Bai Yue lowered her head, her light golden eyes looking slightly empty as she scanned Bai Yuhan from the top of his head down to his skull, cheeks, and then all over his body...
He looked at Bai Yuhan as if he was looking at goods.
Bai Yuhan: “……?”
Baiyue: "Ah, you do look pretty good."
Bai Yuhan: “……?”
Bai Yuhan was in a daze and didn't quite understand what Baiyue meant by this.
He felt as if he had suddenly switched to another channel and had missed a large part of the plot.
But just as Bai Yuhan pursed his lips slightly and frowned in thought.
Bai Yue looked down at Bai Yuhan who had been pressed to the ground by gravity. There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and he curled his lips lightly. His previous gentle and elegant appearance now completely turned into another cold and indifferent expression.
A gorgeous palace chair suddenly appeared behind Baiyue. The chair was completely black and inlaid with complex golden thorn flower patterns, just like an ancient royal palace chair.
He sat on the chair with his legs raised and crossed like a king, sneering, "I originally thought that no one would like someone like you... and no one would plead for you."
"After all, a lone wolf always has no friends or companions."
"But I didn't expect... my clone told me that Song Yu had been looking for you."
"I can give you a chance to choose..."
The blond boy looked at Bai Yuhan with a malicious smile and said gently, "This morning, ever since Jin Hui and the other old men led their men into the tundra secret realm... I sealed off the entire secret realm... As a conclusion to this incident, I've already written a script for it~"
"I plan to merge this five-star secret realm with the other five six-star secret realms at the same time to guide the beast tide."
"By then, anyone who appears within this secret realm will be targeted by the beast tide." The blond boy smiled, then spoke the coldest words in a gentle voice. "After all, only the dead can keep secrets. I still have a part of my body lost outside, and I don't want anything to go wrong... Searching the world for the target is too troublesome. However, the funerals of the Jin and Yan family heads can bring back all the descendants who are away."
"As Song Yu's roommate, I'm not so heartless. I originally planned to spare her life." The blond boy's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly, "But she keeps nagging in my clone's ear. So I'll give her a chance and fulfill her wish... let you go."
The blond boy raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Bai Yuhan, curled his lips and smiled, "So you choose."
"It's either you who leaves, or she who leaves... For the sake of the training camp's reputation, I can only let one person go back alive~" The blond boy's voice was light and joyful, and he didn't care about the lives of other people in the secret realm at all.
Bai Yuhan moved his cold hands and feet and exhaled deeply the foul air in his lungs.
Bai Yuhan raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Baiyue with his pale golden eyes: "You are such a mean person... You are just like a cat, always enjoying playing with your prey before it dies."
Baiyue tilted her head and smiled: "Oh, what do you mean?"
The long golden hair fluttered gently in the breeze, becoming more and more brilliant and charming.
"Your question, in fact, leaves you with no choice from the beginning to the end." Bai Yuhan said coldly, "I have a fragment of your eye in my body, there's no way you'll let me go. Besides, we didn't have much interaction in the genius training camp. On the other hand, Song Yu treated you very well, accompanying you to class or dining with you every day... She's so lazy, if it weren't for you, she'd probably be sleeping in the dormitory every day."
"In this case, do you think there are other answers to this question?" Bai Yuhan's tone was dull and without any warmth, but he coldly expressed the blond boy's thoughts.
