Upon hearing this, the man frowned but said nothing more.
With a soft, warm body in his arms and a sweet, cloying fragrance filling his nostrils, Xiao Hechuan knew it was coming from the woman in his arms.
When she appeared last night, she carried this fragrance, which was captivating.
Thinking of this, the man suddenly recalled the scene of their first meeting last night.
Even he himself did not expect that the creature he summoned at his coming-of-age ceremony would not be his companion beast, but a very beautiful and delicate woman.
Orcs can indeed transform into humans, but they must be at least level ten Beast Kings to do so.
On the Xuanwu Continent, everyone can summon their own companion beast on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony. Xiao Hechuan didn't think he was that powerful enough to summon the Beast King.
Moreover, she looked very weak and had little strength; her body was also very limp.
Apart from that beautiful and endearing face, there seems to be no other difference. Perhaps, one could add that she is a little clingy.
That's why he told everyone that he hadn't summoned anything on his coming-of-age ceremony. Even if it meant admitting his uselessness, it didn't matter.
After all, Xiao Hechuan knew that once he exposed Liu Yin, she would have nowhere to hide from him from then on.
She was just a frail woman and shouldn't have had to endure all this.
There's no real affection between aristocratic families, especially since the Xiao family wants to maintain its foothold in the Xuanwu Continent. So, what his father values is definitely strength.
Actually, he had already anticipated today's situation when he sent out the news last night; it's just that things happened faster than he expected.
His father didn't come to see him either.
There was a hint of unreadable emotion hidden in the man's eyes, and Liu Yin gently smoothed the furrow between his brows.
"Why bother getting angry with those outsiders? Anyway, Brother A-Chuan, I'll always be with you."
The woman in his arms had a sweet, seductive voice, and Xiao Hechuan couldn't help but look down at her.
Can we really take what you say seriously?
Even his family was ready to give up on him. He had only met her yesterday, and Xiao Hechuan couldn't believe it, nor dared to believe it.
He considered her appearance as an accident.
"Brother Achuan, so you're such a timid person?" Liuyin asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"You brought me here, so you were supposed to take responsibility for me."
003 originally sent her to another place, namely the Realm of Return to Nothingness, where she lived quite well.
However, there were too many options available, and since there were no monsters in her area that could transform into human form, she was holding a martial arts contest to find a husband during that time.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the event, she was suddenly drawn into a black hole and brought before Xiao Hechuan.
Seeing that Liuyin was taken out of the Guixu Realm, 003 quickly came out to explain to her that it had only sent Liuyin there before, and it had nothing to do with the plot of the world line, so it didn't say anything more.
"Host, this is the Xuanwu Continent, the other side of the world."
"Xuanwu Continent? Are people living there?" Liu Yin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, the Xuanwu Continent is inhabited by humans, while the Guixu Realm is inhabited by beastmen. Should I send you back?"
We haven't reached Xuanwu Continent yet, so 003 can still interrupt the process.
"No need," Liu Yin shook her head. "I'll go take a look."
To be honest, Liuyin had always thought that 003 had sent her to the Beast World, where she seemed to encounter beastmen who couldn't transform into human form.
She was even preparing to hold a martial arts contest to choose the most powerful man to marry, but she never expected that there were actually humans in this place.
Since there were already some ready-made ones, Liuyin was too lazy to wait for those beastmen to successfully transform.
003 hesitated for a moment, "But host, you're going there this time as a companion beast."
"Every time a person on the Xuanwu Continent comes of age, they have one chance to summon their companion beast."
Even though she had never heard the word before, Liuyin could understand its meaning after just a little thought.
Liu Yin's smile froze. What if the person opposite her was ugly?
"003, do you know who that person is?"
"I don't know, we're not part of the story."
"Then you block my way later. If he looks ugly, I'll electrocute him, and then we'll leave."
"Okay, host."
Inside the somewhat quiet room, a figure sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a circle of strange runes.
The candlelight flickered without wind, and 003 quietly peeked out from the darkness, but quickly retreated after seeing the man's face.
"Host, you don't need to use electricity."
After seeing the man's face, 003 also looked up his storyline.
"His name is Xiao Hechuan. He was originally the designated heir of a family of summoners, but on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he failed to summon anything and was abandoned. Later, he became possessed by a demon, made a deal with a nightmare beast, and was eventually defeated by the male protagonist."
"He's the main villain in a male protagonist's script!"
"It does sound rather pitiful," Liu Yin smiled gently. "However, since he was able to find me, perhaps it's fate."
003 nodded. "Indeed."
It never intended for the host to get involved in the male protagonist's affairs, but unexpectedly, this villain managed to bring the host here.
If he were ugly, that would be one thing, but he was quite good-looking, and because he came from a prestigious family, he had a noble air about him.
Seeing the smile on Liu Yin's face, 003 wisely refrained from saying anything more.
It only sent her to the Realm of Return to Nothingness because it thought she liked that kind of thing since she had stayed in the previous world for so long.
The beastmen there, and others, can still transform into human form.
After all, those who had successfully transformed into human form had long since left the Realm of Return to Nothingness.
——
A faint fragrance wafted in the air. The man with his eyes closed frowned slightly, thinking it was just his imagination.
He summoned a companion beast, so how could it possibly have a fragrance?
As the breathing grew closer, Xiao Hechuan suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a beautiful face.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
The man instinctively tried to stand up, but in his haste, he stepped on the hem of his own clothes, knocking Liu Yin to the ground.
Her clothes were already loose and baggy, so they couldn't cover anything up.
The man's face visibly turned red, and Xiao Hechuan himself could also feel his face getting hot.
Even Xiao Hechuan, who was usually indifferent to women, had to admit that this suddenly appearing stranger was indeed stunningly beautiful.
However, considering why she was there, Xiao Hechuan asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Liu Yin reached out and gently stroked the man's cheek. "Before answering your question, shouldn't you get off me first?"
"If you do that, I have no way to answer your question."
Liu Yin looked at him meaningfully.
