The moment Yu Ling entered her new body in the mission world, she felt excruciating pain—a physical pain, the kind that felt like it was going to kill her! When she looked down, she saw that a huge hole had been torn open in her chest, and a huge fox demon claw was pressing on her beating heart and trying to pull it out.

Wow~ What a thrilling scene! They really poured their hearts out to the original owner! What deep-seated grudge could they possibly have?!

God, you're really something! If you didn't want me to advance to a higher-level survivor, just say so. Giving me this kind of opening kill makes the game meaningless!

The system watched silently, not daring to utter a sound.

In the previous world, it complained frantically to the main god about its storage space swallowing gold coins and causing 404 errors.

I wonder if this is why the host is being treated unfairly...

Although the situation was critical from the start, with the original owner's life nearing its end, Yu Ling had to find a way to save herself!

She didn't have time to access her memories, so she could only barely grasp the hand of the half-human, half-demon fox demon that was tearing out her heart, and stammered:

"Wait, wait! You want to become human, don't you? I have a way!"

[Host, you haven't even received the memories yet, how do you know she wants to be human?] No matter how urgent the situation, it can't stop the system's loose tongue.

"Nonsense! Which young, ignorant demon hasn't envied humans, the darlings of heaven? But once they transform and gain intelligence, they'll understand that humans aren't all good," Yu Ling replied in her mind.

What else can she do about this crappy system?

"Heh, I know the method you're talking about. To turn humans into demons, we need to get them to willingly give up their hearts."

Upon hearing this, the fox demon lowered its head, looking at the heart in its claws with eyes full of covetousness.

"But true human sincerity is so rare... However, these fresh hearts are enough for me to maintain my life, and no one can stop me from being with Zhang Lang!"

"Who cares what cockroach she-wolf you are! You can do whatever you want! I can give you my heart to help you grow into a human, but on the condition that you replace the heart of that red fox demon next to me!" Yu Ling cried out sadly, afraid that the other party would rip her heart out in a fit of anger.

But what the heck is this? Why is it another love-obsessed protagonist? Why doesn't she want to be a powerful and beautiful monster? Instead, she's rushing to fawn over humans. What's so great about being in love?!

Beside them, the red-skinned fox demon, inexplicably tagged by Yu Ling, panicked and glared at Yu Ling with her large, expressive eyes, sending her a flurry of sharp glances...

"Huh? You mean it?" This fox demon, who was 99% likely to be the protagonist, seemed a little dim-witted and immediately took the bait.

“Of course! If you fail, you can kill me again! How could I dare to lie to you?!” Yu Ling assured her.

Seeing Yu Ling's sincere expression, which didn't seem like she was lying (she was definitely a pure actress), the fox demon's eyes lit up. This deal was a good one!

She released her grip, then ripped out the heart of her henchman—the red-skinned fox demon—and handed it to Yu Ling, saying, "Here, take this! Give me your heart."

After giving the original owner's heart to the fox demon and quickly performing a heart transplant on herself using the red-skinned fox demon's heart, Yu Ling immediately began chanting incantations and hand seals before the person cooled down:

"All demonic forms have vanished, the Celestial Master has specially decreed this incantation, human form with demonic heart, transform into my body... My mouth speaks the words of the three realms, my ears hear the sounds of all things, subduing demons and monsters to bring good fortune, breaking through the many karmic obstacles of past lives... Hurry, hurry, so be it!!!" (Friendly reminder: This is all made up, no need to consult Baidu)

By the end, Yu Ling's voice was almost cracking from shouting.

The first half was about enabling himself to transform into a demon to save his life; the rest was entirely the fault of the original owner's body. After rambling on and on for a while, he suddenly burst out out of habit.

The fox demon, who was holding a sincere heart and was about to ask for food, almost got angry.

The truth is out: the original owner was apparently a professional exorcist, which explains why he would run into a fox demon who frequently engages in human-demon romances.

"Cough cough, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, look at me... I've even given you my heart, so, so I'll be going now~" Having successfully survived, Yu Ling covered the huge hole in her chest and retreated step by step.

"Wait—hmm? What's wrong with your mind?"

The fox demon wanted to tell Yu Ling to wait until she successfully transformed into a human before leaving, but the original owner's heart in her hand had already turned into a stream of light and entered the fox demon's body. The dazzling golden light enveloped the fox demon's entire body and she flew into the air. Her entire demon form had begun to transform into a human.

As the light faded, the fox demon—no, the beautiful woman—who had transformed into a human, slowly descended. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin was fair, her captivating fox eyes were clear and bright, her nose was straight and high, her lips were red, her cheeks were rosy, and her naked body exuded a charming aura.

Unfortunately, she is now a pure human, without any demonic powers. At best, she is a little healthier than an ordinary person. Moreover, if she gets her hands dirty again, she will revert back to a fox, in short—back to square one.

Yu Ling did not witness the erotic scene of the fox demon transforming into a human, because after realizing that the fox demon could not keep her, she had already taken the opportunity to run away. She was currently hiding in a secluded cave on the mountain where the original owner was, and was also receiving the original owner's memories.

The original owner was named Du Shuangyu. She was apprenticed to an unknown demon hunter. When she was young, her village was slaughtered by evil demons. She survived by playing hide-and-seek in the granary. Afterwards, she was adopted by her master and became a celestial master herself.

The villain's obsession is formed gradually from life experiences. Having seen many evil monsters committing wicked deeds with his master, he comes to believe that all monsters in the world are evil. As a result, the original owner of this body finds the love-struck protagonist, who is single-mindedly focused on invading human territory, extremely displeasing.

From the moment the fox demon was still unmoved by mortal desires, to her falling in love, and then to the on-again, off-again relationship between the two, the series relentlessly thwarted their romance in every episode, simultaneously capturing the demon and persuading the human scholar to settle down. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought the original owner had fallen for one of them...

So, the fox demon, who had been holding back for so long to avoid karmic burdens, finally got angry because the original owner had caused her to reveal her fox characteristics. She turned around and tried to kill the original owner, taking a human heart as medicine so that she could return to her original beautiful appearance and be intimate with the scholar.

Then he was tricked into becoming crippled by Yu Ling, who was desperate to obtain a demon's heart to survive.

Being human isn't so easy. This time, the fox demon was tricked badly by Yu Ling, and she can't back out now unless she's willing to be reduced to her original form and start all over again.

"Phew—thankfully I'm smart. Although I've become a bit demonic, it's not a big problem. As long as I intercept the demonic energy, I can continue to walk in human form and continue to be the Celestial Master as the original owner."

Yu Ling sighed.

"That's right... this monster's heart is equivalent to another demon core, so the red fox will probably need a long time to recover."
