A world of humans and animals.
Chu Xinxin is human, so the male protagonist must be a beast!
That's what the system said.
"Go to hell." Looking at her tattered clothes and messy face, Chu Xinxin really wanted to die together with the system.
"Stop talking, sister, let's run away!"
Chu Xin is currently being hunted by the beastmen.
As for why they were hunted, weak humans are prey for powerful beasts; it's simply a matter of the survival of the fittest.
Chu Xinxin ran barefoot through the forest, her body already bearing several marks.
The plant that cut her seemed to be poisonous; the area around her wound became increasingly itchy, and she found it harder and harder to stop scratching.
Those orcs were fast, and Chu Xinxin was caught up in an open space.
Three tiger clan members surrounded Chu Xinxin, trapping her in the center.
"These humans are really fast runners."
"He's just too skinny, not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
"Enough with the nonsense, let's take him back first."
Chu Xinxin was carried back to the Tiger Clan camp on his shoulders.
The tiger cubs in the camp saw food and happily built a fire.
"I want to eat human legs!"
I want pig brains!
"I want...I want to eat her heart!"
Chu Xinxin couldn't help but tremble as she listened.
The little tiger clan member who said he wanted to eat her legs was actually quite clean. Seeing that she was all dirty, he poured a basin of cold water directly on Chu Xinxin.
In the dead of winter, Chu Xinxin wiped her face and could only say "Damn it."
"Hmm? It's a female!"
The tiger cubs shouted loudly, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"If it's a female, then we can't eat it."
"Tsk, after chasing you for so long, why didn't you say you were female sooner!"
Chu Xin smiled insincerely: "What, you'll let me go just because I'm a woman?"
Before she could finish speaking, the tiger tribesmen stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe their eyes.
"You can speak animal language!"
"I've never heard a human speak animal language before. She must be the person the king is looking for!"
"Wash her clean, I'm taking her to the palace now!"
The tiger tribe immediately became flustered.
Once they quieted down, Chu Xinxin had changed into a white gauze dress and sat in the tiger clan's sedan chair.
They took her to a beach, then knelt down and worshipped, muttering incantations.
Chu Xinxin couldn't understand what they were saying and was about to ask them what they were doing when suddenly she was lifted up.
Two strong tiger-men placed her on a small boat and told her not to panic no matter what happened, and to stay in bed and not move.
Chu Xinxin was filled with doubt, but these tiger people had no intention of answering her questions. They pushed hard, and the small boat swayed into the sea.
A robust singing voice came from the shore, a scene reminiscent of a movie Chu Xinxin had seen.
She suddenly thought with a smug smile, maybe the male protagonist of this world is a giant dragon, whose enormous claws will suddenly appear from the sky, grab her small boat, and then...
Chu Xinxin's fantasy was only halfway through when suddenly, she found herself sinking into the sea...
I'm really hooked.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!"
Holy crap, it wasn't a dragon, it was a river god!
Seawater surged up from both sides of the ship's hull, obscuring the blue sky, and forming a wall of water above Chu Xinxin's head.
The fear of confinement made her sit up involuntarily, and the seawater instantly invaded her mouth and nose.
Chu Xinxin lay back on the boat, coughing as she realized a truth: people really do need to listen to advice.
......
Before the ship sank to the bottom, Chu Xinxin was knocked unconscious by a sudden sound wave.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a palace.
"This is......"
Chu Xinxin raised her hand. She was certain that she was surrounded by water, but she could breathe and move around in the water without any hindrance.
"You're awake?"
A beautiful woman with a human body and a fish tail swam over, her cheeks adorned with pearly fish scales that were particularly striking.
Chu Xinxin immediately leaned closer: "Sister, where is this?"
"The royal palace, didn't anyone tell you when you came?"
The beautiful woman looked at Chu Xinxin with scrutinizing eyes, and after a while she said, "She really does look like that person."
That person?
Which one?
Chu Xinxin replied calmly, "I was captured, I don't know anything."
The beautiful woman flicked her tail and said, "Let's go. The king has woken up and wants to see you."
Hmm? There are other poor little things?
Chu Xinxin obediently followed the beautiful woman into a palace adorned with luminous pearls.
She arrived last, and there was already a long queue in front of her.
The beautiful woman had her stand at the back of the line and wait for the king's summons.
The only sounds in the empty hall were footsteps and a dignified female voice from the front: "...Stay...Send back..."
Basically, everyone said "send it back," but Chu Xinxin only heard two "stay."
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xinxin finally moved forward a little.
However, there was a screen in front of her, and she had to wait for the people in front of her to come out before she could go in.
"They're being so secretive; I didn't even wait this long to see the chief physician."
Chu Xinxin's legs were aching from standing.
Just as she was about to move, a pale-skinned merman came over, holding a thin, long leather whip with barbs hanging from it.
It seems like he wants to teach Chu Xinxin a lesson.
The beautiful woman accompanying Chu Xinxin immediately stepped forward to stop her, whispering, "Are you crazy? What if she's the person the king is looking for..."
The merman gave Chu Xinxin a warning look before returning to his original position.
So fierce.
"Send it back."
The girl's whereabouts were now known, but the next second, a piercing wail rang out: "I don't want to go back! If I go back, I'll be eaten right away! Please, let me stay..."
"Disrupting order deserves to die!"
The screams rang out, then abruptly stopped.
A body was carried out from behind the screen; it was the girl's body.
Chu Xinxin's nonchalant expression vanished, and the person inside called out, "Next."
When she went in, the smell of blood in the room had not yet dissipated.
Chu Xinxin raised her eyes and saw a silver-haired man with a silver tail reclining on the seashell bed, holding a wine glass in his hand. His indifferent and handsome face looked noble and aloof.
The bare upper body did not contain the pattern Chu Xin had hoped to see...
"How dare you! You dare look directly at the king! You're courting death!"
The lady-in-waiting beside her raised her whip, about to strike her, when the sound of glass shattering on the floor stopped her.
The female official turned around, but the man turned into a blur and appeared in front of Chu Xinxin.
Long, strong fingers gripped Chu Xinxin's chin, bringing his face close to hers for a closer look.
The man's aura was icy, so cold that Chu Xinxin trembled uncontrollably.
The more he looked at Chu Xinxin, the stronger the pressure became from her fingertips.
Chu Xinxin couldn't help but frown.
“Send her to the second palace.”
"yes."
The man released Chu Xinxin, but his gaze remained fixed on her.
It's like looking at her, yet it's also like looking at someone else through her...
Chu Xinxin stepped into the second palace, filled with suspicion.
Everyone inside turned to look at her...
Chu Xinxin felt a chill run through her body, because all the women here had a face that looked remarkably similar to hers...
