Chapter 1

Unexpected Turn of Events The sudden change in events can only be described as misfortune never coming singly. Having finally settled down in the orc camp and thoroughly enjoyed playing with the beautiful Yu Xiaomei from head to toe, I was feeling quite smug when I suddenly discovered Ah Xue, who was about to be offered up to the old demon of ten thousand beasts for defilement, in the now-enemy city of Skeva. I frantically ran back, but before I could even think of a solution, I was immediately informed that Yu Hong had been captured by the tiger clan for trying to escape, and a three-race conference was to be held to discuss the matter.

The most fortunate thing at the moment was that Yu Hong's identity had not been leaked; the orcs only thought they had captured a previously undiscovered winged beauty.

Unlike other winged people who grew up in the southern barbarians, after the crisis in Skeva was resolved, the Neon Sisters would have to return to the outside world, and if people knew that they were half-orcs, their movements would be greatly inconvenient. Therefore, during their recent battles with the various beast tribes, the sisters deliberately concealed their wings, or wore masks while displaying them. Thus, the beastmen always believed that Yu Ni and Yu Hong were human, merely accompanying Fang Qingshu to assist Katrina.

The snake tribe might know the truth, I'm not sure, but at least the other three tribes, when hunting the Ni Hong sisters, targeted two beautiful human women. Yu Hong wasn't stupid, so during her escape and capture, she acted as a winged creature. The beastmen were surprised to find such a beauty among the captured winged prisoners, but never suspected her true identity.

However, this didn't mean the situation had improved.

With the bear, tiger, and leopard tribes united, and thousands of beastmen gathered together, what good could they possibly do? If not drinking and revelry, martial arts battles, or a naked mating convention.

The rules of the orcs are vastly different from those of humans. Captured prisoners, before being distributed as private property, are the common property of the entire tribe. Every orc warrior can freely defile them without even looking at them from afar, let alone a beautiful woman like Yu Hong. If you were to ask any of the orcs present if they would be willing to indulge their lust on her, probably not a single one out of thousands would say no. If Yu Hong hadn't claimed to be a tribute to the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts, she would have been gang-raped by the tiger-tribe orcs the moment she was captured.

However, the situation wasn't much better. As the orcs said, even a sex slave intended for the Venerable One is meaningless until she is presented. Even if all three tribes took advantage of the beauty, the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts, though displeased, wouldn't kill all three tribes. Moreover, they heard that the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts only cared about the robustness of the tribute, not its "use record," which made the orcs even more unscrupulous.

The leaders of the three beast tribes are currently gathered together, and nine times out of ten, their discussion revolves around allocation—which tribe will go first, or whether the three tribes will draw numbers to determine who goes first. Either way, Constable Yu Er will undoubtedly be utterly defeated.

I don't know what I can do. Yu Hong's affairs have never been my concern. From the beginning until now, the only thing between us has been mutual animosity. Seeing her in this predicament, I should have just stood by and watched with a smile. However, seeing the scenes in Skeva's City, seeing Ah Xue in the blood pool, I suddenly felt a strong urge to do something.

But that was ultimately just an irrational impulse. What reason do I have to save an enemy who hates me? Moreover, if I were to do anything, I would have to fight against thousands of beastmen in this camp. Even the three leaders—Bai Lan Xiong, Wu Zi, and Qi Lisi—wouldn't dare to incur such public wrath. To attempt to save someone from among thousands of beastmen on my own, unless one possesses the cultivation of a top-tier expert or a sorcerer, is certain death.

The five strongest individuals could probably do it, but of the two I know, one isn't here, and the Dragon Girl sister who was supposed to come is nowhere to be found. And of the other experts I know… where is Fang Qingshu? Perhaps this top expert of the younger generation could also do it?

For a reason I didn't want to think about it too deeply, this thought made me very unhappy. Fang Qingshu could do it, but I couldn't. Although I understood this long ago, the unpleasant feeling was still hard to shake off.

"How pathetic, the weak resisting the strong… it's just a defeated dog barking…"

I mocked myself, feeling my own contradictions and ridiculousness once again. Putting aside these pointless thoughts, as Bai Lanxiong's current advisor, I had to report this to him. When I arrived outside the tent, I saw Wu Zi and Qi Lisi lift the curtain, greet me, and then hurriedly leave.

Wu Zi, Qi Lisi, and Bai Lan Xiong, the three young orc leaders who will soon command their tribes, are on good terms. However, it seems that Bai Lan Xiong is the most senior among them. In other words, perhaps in three to five years, Bai Lan Xiong will be the second most important figure in the Southern Barbarian region, second only to the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Bu Er, you're here! I've been waiting for you." Seeing me lift the curtain and enter, Bai Lan Xiong said, "You've done a great service this time. As soon as Wu Zi caught that girl, he was amazed by her beauty. Knowing that she was the sex slave we were going to give to the Venerable, he immediately sent a sorcerer to relay the news. We just received an urgent report as well. The Venerable was overjoyed upon hearing the news and said he would reward us handsomely and that we should send the girl over as soon as possible without any delay."

The Bear, Tiger, and Leopard tribes originally planned to use the opportunity of sending a beauty to win the favor of the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts and regain the upper hand over the Snake tribe in the power struggle within the Fire Worshiping Cult. Now that the girl hasn't even been sent yet, the other party is already so eager for her, which is naturally a good sign. No wonder Bai Lan Xiong is so happy.

"However, you're too good at keeping secrets. You actually picked such a beautiful little girl to train. It's really strange. How did such a beautiful girl suddenly appear in the Feather Clan?"

According to the customs of the beastmen, if I knew about it and did not report it, and privately took an important female captive, it would be a crime. But I am not a beastman. My true identity has not been exposed yet. It's just that Yu Hong has not said anything. If the beastmen knew my identity, I would be able to get away with a crime ten times worse than this. So I shook my head without hesitation and denied it.

"I...I really don't know. When I went to the prisoner-of-war camp to pick someone, I just picked one randomly. After I went back and cleaned her up, although I thought she wasn't bad-looking, I really didn't think..."

Bai Lanxiong stopped my explanation with a hand, saying, "No need to explain, it's not a big deal. Beastmen don't doubt their good brothers."

After spending some time together, I knew that Bai Lanxiong's thoughts were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. He might have seen something, but he still handled it in this way, which, to be honest, was quite admirable.

Bai Lanxiong said, "Let's not talk about that. We just decided that before sending the Feather Clan beauty away, we should have some fun. It's probably all prepared now. Bu'er, come with me to see."

This was expected, and given the current situation, if we didn't arrange it this way, the three beastmen races would become restless, and even they, as leaders, wouldn't be able to quell it. I just wonder what kind of state such a weak girl would become after experiencing this ordeal?

Since Bai Lanxiong had spoken, I had no reason to avoid it. I was a little worried; what if Yu Hong revealed my identity in public? But Bai Lanxiong pulled me along, so I could only walk out reluctantly.

"Ah, there's one more thing..." Before leaving the tent, Bai Lanxiong stopped. This usually decisive and efficient bear-man was unusually talkative today.

"Bu Er, you and this little beauty have been together for so many days, and now she's being sent away. People are saying in private, do you... feel reluctant to part with her? Do you feel even a little bit of reluctance or... heartache?"

This question directly addressed the core of a doubt that had been nagging at me these past few days, one I'd been reluctant to delve into. For a moment, I was completely stunned, unable to answer, until I noticed the mocking look in Bai Lan Xiong's eyes, which forced me to regain my composure.

"I..."

"No need to say anything, I can probably guess what you'll say. Save yourself the trouble, friend."

Bai Lan Xiong grinned, his two sharp teeth gleaming, and laughed as he walked out. I followed behind, utterly bewildered, a deep sense of confusion slowly festering in my chest.

Thousands of orcs had already gathered at the outer camp. Even if it were some kind of mating contest, it was impossible for so many to participate at once. But seemingly eager to catch a glimpse of the Feathered Clan's beauty, the orcs thronged outside, shouting and demanding that the woman be brought out quickly.

Wuz, Qilis, and several of their tribesmen were discussing something when they saw us approaching. They waved and ordered their tribesmen to bring out the female captive.

"Brothers of the beastmen, please be quiet! You've all been waiting long. Now, let's begin, to satisfy you all!" Chiris shouted. "Bring her up!"

Amidst the commotion, the beastmen slowly parted to make way, and after the creaking of long shackles, a large wooden frame slowly appeared before us.

During my imprisonment, Yu Hong hadn't been covered in a single garment. When she escaped, she must have been naked as well. Even if she had tried to steal some clothes to cover herself, in the beastman army, she could only manage to steal some oversized, crude leather armor. Therefore, when I vaguely saw the woman's snow-white skin on the wooden frame, I wasn't too surprised.

But as I got closer, I realized that Yu Hong wasn't actually naked on the frame, revealing her smooth skin. Although she was completely naked, her delicate body was wrapped in layers upon layers of gauze, from her neck to her arms and calves, tightly bound together in a tight-fitting gauze garment.

There was no bloodstain or wound; the tight bindings only slightly concealed the beauty of her exquisite body, though they couldn't hide the prominent, rounded shape of her breasts. Her

breasts were only wrapped with two layers of gauze; her slender waist was similarly bound with several layers, her navel half-hidden; further down, her legs were covered by layers of gauze, and although no beautiful flowers were visible, the sight of her body writhing on the wooden frame, the chains and gauze creating an alluring symphony, was enough to make one's mouth water.

Yu Hong was thus bound to the wooden frame, her hands tied to a horizontal beam, rendering her immobile. Her wings were also bound, and ropes were tied to her knees, one end of which was tied to her knees, the middle section of which went up and around the back of the frame, just long enough for Yu Hong to spread her legs wide.

Watching a delicate, flower-like girl struggle on a wooden frame, seemingly to her amusement, appears inhuman. Yet, any male would feel a surge of desire at such a sight.

The sun blazed overhead, its intense rays, amidst the clamor of thousands of orcs, reddening the girl's face and revealing a strange, alluring beauty. Her closed eyes, illuminated by the sidelight, made her even more stunning.

The roars of the tiger, leopard, and behemoth orcs nearly shook the entire camp. Many orcs pounded their chests, emitting the furious howls of mating beasts; their intentions were clear to everyone.

While there were many beauties among the various orc races, the majority were women of half-orc descent, possessing exceptional looks. The beauties of the Feathered Clan, Fox Clan, and Snake Clan are among the best of the half-orcs. Therefore, in the period following the conquest of Skeva's Song Tower City, the Tiger, Leopard, and Behemoth clans of orcs were able to enjoy women of a completely different caliber from their previous captives, naturally feeling incredibly proud and blissful.

Among the Feathered Clan, the most beautiful woman was undoubtedly the twin rainbow-colored beauties. Just seeing Yu Hong's delicate face was enough to arouse the orcs' lust, let alone the exhilarating feeling of unleashing their bestial desires upon her later.

Even I have to admit that the Leopard Clan member who helped Yu Hong wrap herself in gauze seemed to be the most thoughtful of the three clans. This attire further stimulated the orcs' destructive desires, making the scene even more heated.

However, when Bai Lanxiong took the stage and spoke, his words caused the thousands of orcs present to turn pale, and after a moment of silence, erupted into a clamor.

"As you all probably already know, this woman is the concubine we're going to give to the Martial Venerable. Since she belongs to the Martial Venerable, we can't just touch her and offend him."

For the thousands of beastmen who had been eagerly waiting below the stage, this explanation was naturally unacceptable. A chorus of clamor erupted, creating chaos that even made me break out in a cold sweat. I couldn't understand why Bai Lanxiong would risk such a blatant act of defiance, daring to incur the wrath of the crowd. But judging from the expressions of Wu Zi and Qi Lisi, it seemed they already knew beforehand; in other words, it was a pre-arranged plan by the three race leaders.

Bai Lanxiong explained slowly and methodically. The Beast Venerable is getting old. In recent years, besides indulging in pleasure, he also hopes to have his own offspring to inherit his unparalleled martial arts and power. To ensure the quality of the next generation, and to avoid giving birth to an ugly, weasel-faced creature that would be killed by him with a single blow at birth, the choice of the woman is extremely important.

A beautiful woman, trained and knowledgeable in matters of love, in the prime of her youth—such a body is most to the liking of the Beast Venerable. Upon receiving the news, he immediately issued an order for the three great beast tribes to send the female captive as quickly as possible, without hesitation or injury.

If thousands of beastmen were to take turns torturing her before sending her, wouldn't her bones be shattered? How could she possibly escape injury? Furthermore, there was another issue Bai Lanxiong hadn't explicitly stated: if she were to be tortured like this and then sent to the Beast Venerable already pregnant, it would surely backfire, and the Beast Venerable, enraged, might immediately lead the snake tribe in a massacre of the three tribes.

The beastmen revered the Beast Venerable like a god; hearing Bai Lanxiong's explanation, despite their complaints and roars, no one dared openly object.

I fell silent, my gaze shifting to the girl chained to the platform, a jolt running through my heart. Throughout the entire process, Yu Hong kept looking in my direction, but turned her face away whenever I turned my head. Being spared the public humiliation of thousands of orcs should have been a cause for celebration, but hearing about her future fate from Bai Lan Xiong's words, she was now pale and trembling, clearly gripped by fear.

Yu Hong's mouth was also wrapped in gauze, perhaps stuffed with something to prevent her from biting her tongue. In truth, even without being chained to the wooden frame, with insects implanted in her wrists and ankles, she wouldn't have been able to escape.

Bai Lan Xiong seemed to say something else, but I didn't hear it clearly. Even with the joint statement from the three race leaders and the backing of the Beast Lord's order, completely quelling the orcs' anger stemming from their dashed hopes was no easy task.

"This tribute is a rare opportunity for our three races. I've heard the Snake Clan has also prepared a docile and beautiful slave, a rare and exquisite tribute among the best of the last ten years, to win the favor of the Venerable One. If the Snake Clan gets there first, not only will our three races' achievements in this battle be in vain, but the consequences will be dire."

Thinking of Ah Xue, now in the hands of the Snake Clan, my heart trembled again. Even though I was anxious, I didn't know what I could do. Let alone help Ah Xue, I was completely clueless about what to do right now.

When Bai Lanxiong mentioned the Snake Clan's name and explained the stakes to the beastmen, the atmosphere in the camp eased slightly. Although the beastmen were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey their leaders' decisions. Not to mention them, I think Bai Lanxiong and Wu Zi are both lecherous men. If not for the circumstances, how could these two beastmen possibly give up what was already in their mouths?

"...Thank you all for your understanding. However, we can understand your feelings. Although the person is about to be sent away, we decided to make something small for entertainment before that happens."

It was Wuz who spoke. Looking at the lecherous grin on the stage, one could tell he was about to come up with some clever ideas. However, if they didn't do something to quell the discontent of their tribesmen, it wouldn't do. The question was, what exactly were they planning to do?

Wuz said that the Venerable One was in a hurry for the people, and delaying too long wouldn't work, but there was still some time. He suggested a friendly match. Taking physical action at this time would be too rough, so to make things more interesting, the three tribes decided to play a unique friendly ball game.

The orcs were represented by a team of strong warriors selected from the tiger, leopard, and behemoth tribes; but the half-orcs were represented by twelve winged female warriors led by Yu Hong.

Almost all the orcs, like me, were completely baffled by this nonsensical ball game. But when Wuz announced that, to ensure fairness, every player would have to voluntarily remove an item of clothing if the opposing team scored a goal, the orcs understood immediately. A roar of cheers erupted, and they hailed their leader's wisdom.

(Damn, how did they even come up with that…)

In my past impressions, orcs were always direct and crude in matters of sex. If they saw a female they liked, they would simply push her down and have sex with her; if she resisted, they would either pin her down or knock her unconscious and force themselves on her; if there were other males around, or if she was already the property of another male, they would directly challenge her owner, knock him down, and have sex with him on the spot.

Forget foreplay, orcish sexual culture was utterly devoid of any romance, utterly vulgar and laughable in the eyes of humans. So, I was genuinely surprised to hear Wuz propose this humiliating idea of a striptease ball game. However, this surprise was quickly replaced by anticipation. After all, I'm a normal man, and hearing about a competition that would excite any male, I had no reason not to be happy.

...That should be it. But, despite my experience with such things, I felt an inexplicable tension and restlessness in my chest. I couldn't explain why, so I took a deep breath to suppress this unease.

The bear-men around me cheered loudly, clapping enthusiastically to urge the game on. I could clearly feel their impatience.

The rules of the ball game were a hybrid, a hodgepodge, learned by the beastmen from the human world. A point was scored by getting the wooden ball into the opponent's goal; there were no other restrictions or rules. It was a savage game perfectly suited to the fierce spirit of the Youli people.

Preparations proceeded quickly. Twelve beastmen from the Tiger, Leopard, and Behemoth tribes, clad in leather armor, arrived at the specially drawn temporary playing field, shouting and yelling. They clasped their fists to their tribesmen, pounding their chests, their imposing aura no less than that of warriors on the battlefield.

On the Winged Clan's side, eleven female prisoners were chosen, none of them important figures. Each was disheveled, their hair loose, and although their shackles had been removed and they had donned light armor, their hands and feet were still bound in chains to prevent them from flying. The chains dragged on the ground, clanging as they walked, clearly indicating their limited mobility. Playing ball in such attire meant they were doomed before the game even began.

However, no one paid attention to the Winged Clan female warriors, as all the orcs' attention was focused on the second beautiful woman, Yu Er. Watching her, still wrapped in her gauze robe, being untied from the wooden frame, her steps faltering, and imagining the ball game to come, the orcs' breathing grew heavier with each passing moment, as they scrambled forward to get a better view.

(If I don't leave now, it will be too late...)

I wasn't in a good mood. Once Yu Hong could move, my identity could be exposed at any time. It was best to get away as soon as possible. So the beastmen surged forward, but I retreated alone.

"How about it? Bu Er, aren't you going to grab a better spot at the front?"

Just as I was about to slip away, a bear paw slammed down on my shoulder. It was Bai Lan Xiong. I didn't know why he was giving up such a good view and standing with me at the back. I immediately said, "Oh, no, I'm not going. I've seen enough these past few days. If I were to rush to see more, wouldn't that be letting down the brothers?"

Bai Lan Xiong glanced at me and said indifferently, "What a pity, Bu Er. You're a good brother, but what you said just now... was a complete lie."

Before I could ask what he meant, I saw Yu Hong and her female comrades reunite. The look in their eyes was so sorrowful, as if they were mourning the end of the Feather Clan. Then, Yu Hong started looking up, as if searching for something.

Her gaze stopped when it fell on me. Yu Hong stared intently at me. I don't know how she recognized me from such a distance, still wearing the stone hat. Perhaps, after these days of intimate contact, there's an unspoken understanding between us.

As with every night these past few days, the girl's eyes held naked hatred. The gag in her mouth had been removed; if she shouted and revealed my true identity, all the orcs would tear me to shreds.

I knew this, but even if I wanted to escape, it was too late. I hate doing pointless things, so I didn't avoid her gaze, simply staring back.

However, shortly after our eyes met, a pleading look suddenly appeared in Yu Hong's eyes, almost a humble gazing at me, as if begging me to do something.

If I maintained the impression from our first meeting, I would have taken it as a plea for my help. But after spending time together, I knew very well that beneath her seemingly delicate and beautiful exterior lay an extremely persistent and determined heart. She endured my merciless humiliation, yet never asked me to let her go. But if she didn't want me to save her, what did that look mean?

"Ding!" I didn't have time to think. The bell, signaling the start of the game, rang, interrupting our gaze. The beastmen, having grabbed the wooden ball, launched a rapid attack, charging straight towards the Feathered Warrior's side. Yu Hong had to move her no longer agile feet, trying to get a position to stop them.

And until the very end, Yu Hong didn't pull me out. Why did she, who hated me so much, give up her last chance for revenge? This was something I couldn't understand.
Chapter Two: The Beast Ball Game

The game was one-sided from the start. This kind of game, with no restrictions except for getting the ball into the opponent's territory, was essentially a disguised martial arts festival. The Youli region often used such games to arbitrate disputes between the two tribes, so as far as I knew, it wasn't uncommon for a game to end with both sides bleeding profusely, and even deaths and injuries.

Compared to the orcs, the exhausted winged female warriors, bound by iron shackles, were not only sluggish but also utterly vulnerable in the shoving and pushing. Except for Yu Hong, the most skilled warrior, who offered some resistance, the rest were simply pushed and groped.

To say they were groped was no exaggeration, because in a situation where defeat was impossible, the atmosphere of the ball game, which should have been filled with the spirit of battle, became strangely tense. When the ball landed in the hands of a winged girl, before she could even react, two tiger-men and bear-men standing nearby rushed over, pinching her waist and slapping her buttocks hard.

The loud sound of the slap echoed, and the orcs roared with lewd laughter. The winged girl, who appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, crouched on the ground in shame, tears welling in her eyes. But this allowed the orcs to snatch the ball and turn the tables on them.

The Feathered Clan wasn't simply taking the beating. With their superior lightness skills and agile movements, they had many opportunities to steal the ball, and their passing techniques were quite skillful, making them difficult for the orcs to stop. If they were playing in their prime, unbound, and with a skilled player like Yu Hong leading the team, the outcome would be uncertain.

However, the current situation was different. Their movements were greatly hampered by the shackles. Sometimes, when they jumped up to pass the ball, an orc rushing from behind would slap them on the buttocks or thighs, or pull them down by their shackles.

Even after gaining possession of the ball, before she could pass it, the orcs pounced on her with overwhelming force. The winged warrior, already weakened by days of rape, was utterly defenseless and easily knocked to the ground, allowing the orcs to ravage her as she wept.

Amidst this series of disadvantages, Yu Hong seemed to be the only hope. Her delicate and charming beauty was already the focus of everyone's attention. Although her wrists and ankles were implanted with insectoid bodies, she could still flap her wings and rise a foot and a half high, performing graceful maneuvers like soaring and aerial turns, even with the orcs watching her intently.

Facing the orcs' charge, the girl not only dodged but sometimes also cleverly used the force of their attacks to her advantage, causing the orcs to collide and allowing her to seize the ball and create opportunities for her allies to attack.

With sharp eyes and skillful movements, some of the more knowledgeable orcs in the audience were astonished by the woman's martial arts skills, which far surpassed those of their companions. However, most of the orcs focused their attention on the girl's delicate body, watching her tightly bandaged form unintentionally display various alluring and sexy movements as she ran and jumped.

Yu Hong's performance was extremely eye-catching, but one person's strength was ultimately insufficient. Judging from the rapidly soaking and discolored stains on her bandages, one could tell how much she was sweating and how much physical exertion she had expended. Although she repeatedly tried to create opportunities for her side, she still lost points repeatedly.

According to the rules, every time a point was lost, one had to remove a piece of clothing. The orcs naturally wouldn't allow small items like hairbands or rings to be used as substitutes, but fortunately, the winged female warriors all wore full armor, so starting with elbow pads and leg wraps, they weren't immediately left naked.

Yu Hong's situation was much worse. She was completely naked except for her bandages, and she couldn't just rip them off all at once. Finally, Wuz and Qilis arbitrated, treating the bandaged garment as armor and slowly tearing it off piece by piece.

Compared to the other orcs who were only thinking about seducing women, these two leaders were more sophisticated in matters of the heart. Yu Hong avoided the worst-case scenario, but with each point lost, her wrists, arms, calves, and smooth, flat abdomen were gradually exposed.

Later, when the winged warriors had to remove their boots, the barefoot Yu Hong had nothing left to take off. The girl pursed her lips, her eyes filled with anger mixed with shame, scanning the orcs before her, awaiting their decision.

The decision was quickly made. The two leaders on the platform announced that because this female player had a good figure, the tight bandages would cause chest pain during strenuous activity. To alleviate her discomfort and allow her to perform at her best, she would have two wraps of cloth around her chest removed.

The orcs grumbled, clearly dissatisfied with the overly conservative ruling, but powerless to resist. I, however, secretly nodded in approval. It wasn't a sudden, complete removal, but a slow, agonizing process of tormenting the woman's shame—a remarkably skillful method of discipline.

That said, strangely enough, when a lucky orc player was lewdly ordered to unwrap two layers of bandages from Yu Hong's chest, I strangely felt a strong urge to chop off his filthy tiger arm.

"What's wrong? Bu Er, you don't look too good," said Bai Lan Xiong, who had been standing beside me, preventing me from escaping.

"It's alright. Every normal bear warrior would change color at the sight of a beautiful woman showing her breasts."

Bai Lan Xiong nodded and said, "That makes sense. Actually, these winged sluts are quite troublesome. When asked to come up and compete, they all resisted to the death. In the end, it was Qi Lisi who came up with a solution and made a deal with them, and only then did they agree."

"What deal?"

"If they go up to compete and lose, they'll end up lying down and being raped. But if they score, for every point they score, we'll release ten winged children and one adult. We learned this trick from you, and it really works. Those winged sluts agreed to anything as soon as they heard about releasing the children."

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood why Yu Hong had looked at me like that. She knew that I was entrusted by Katrina and was very likely the only hope for the survival of the next generation of the winged race. So in the end, she still didn't expose me, not wanting to cut off the last hope of her people while seeking revenge.

The orc grinned and reached out. In this situation, if Yu Hong resisted, she would only give the orcs an opportunity to ridicule her, and more of her breasts would be torn off. So, before the orc could approach, she reached behind her back, grabbed the bandage, and with a jerk, tore off two loops of the bandage binding her chest in front of thousands of orcs.

I was too far away to see clearly, but all the orcs watching fell silent, staring intently at the girl tearing the bandage.

The bandage was tightly wrapped around her chest; even if she was careful, such an action would still expose her. With two loops torn off, a patch of snow-white skin was revealed, and most of her round, jade-like breast was exposed, with only the last loop remaining, supporting a third of the breast and covering the two tender pink nipples.

Yu Hong naturally knew that all the orcs were watching, but she pretended not to. Clutching the two strips of bandage she had just torn, she tossed them to the ground, tilted her head back with dignity, and gave an encouraging smile to her worried comrades, saying, "Don't give up, we'll try again!" However, the fleeting shyness that crossed her face after her companions turned away didn't escape the notice of observant people. Her

bright and spirited demeanor, coupled with her sexy attire, and the restrained timidity and shame, made the half-naked winged girl a beacon of light, attracting everyone's attention. From the heavy breathing of the beastmen, I guessed many of them were already aroused. At that moment, I suddenly felt a surge of pride, a sense of honor to be the only man in this girl's life so far.

"Ding!" The starting bell rang again, and all the players ran and chased each other across the field.

Although not fully exposed, with two layers of bandages removed, the girl's 33b breasts were round and white, swaying up and down as she dribbled, sexy and alluring. The orc players passing by stared, mesmerized, and even the spectators couldn't concentrate on the game; they only wanted to find an opportunity to pounce on this beauty and have their way with her.

Under these circumstances, the chances of the ball ending up in Yu Hong's hands were particularly high. The orcs even actively delivered the ball to her, looking for opportunities to get close to the girl and make intimate physical contact.

At first, it was just a sneaky bump or a quick grope before they ran away with lewd grins. The referees, Wuz and Qiris, naturally didn't stop them; they wanted to use this eye-catching spectacle to satisfy the three orc races. With

the referees silent and the audience shouting enthusiastically, the orc players' actions naturally became increasingly bold. As Yu Hong floated down after passing the ball, an orc suddenly grabbed her soft yet firm breasts, kneaded them for a while, and even tore off a bit of the bandage before laughing and running away.

The winged warriors gasped in surprise. Yu Hong's face flushed crimson, filled with shame and resentment, yet she still forced a smile for her comrades to ease their unease.

I watched Yu Hong's movements closely and noticed she was panting heavily, looking extremely tired. The unusual flush on her face was very familiar to me and her bedmate, with whom I had shared many intimate moments—it was almost like the blush during intercourse. Then I remembered that after days of training, the girl's body had become extremely sensitive, her desire burning fiercely. The slightest teasing would elicit a reaction. Now, with the bandage rubbing against her sensitive areas, and the vigorous movements of playing ball, how could she not be affected?

The game continued, and the orcs' harassment grew increasingly brutal. Not only Yu Hong, but all the other winged girls were subjected to the orcs' wanton sexual assault. When their wooden balls were snatched from their hands, they were powerless to protect their breasts, allowing the orcs on top of them to fondle them at will, their milky white breasts changing into various alluring shapes.

Soon, the winged race lost another point. As all the winged female warriors endured humiliating tears, allowing the orcs to remove their breastplates, exposing their fair, snow-white breasts, Yu Hong also faced an embarrassing situation.

The final verdict was to remove the bandages wrapped around her thighs and buttocks. However, to the orcs' surprise, beneath the bandages was a plain white towel, neatly wrapped around her hips, forming a thong, sparing her the humiliation of immediate exposure. The orcs

roared in anger, their disappointment evident, but even so, the scene was still quite a sight. Naturally blessed with long, beautiful legs, the winged girl already possessed an exceptionally beautiful lower body curve; now, with her pink legs fully exposed, her flawless white legs were like a work of art.

Although the thong served as a final line of defense, where the thong couldn't cover, her two plump, firm buttocks, white and smooth, were like a beautiful object to be admired, stimulating the primal desires of the audience. Moreover, the towel was damp, suggesting not only sweat but also the girl's own secretions.

"Give it your all! Strip that chick naked!"

"Why aren't we continuing? We're still waiting to see!"

"Strip! Strip! Strip! Strip!"

The beastmen's heavy breathing, like muffled thunder, rose and fell across the field, and their urging shouts were deafening, fully conveying their boiling lust. Under this constant urging, the bell rang again, and the game continued.

"All heroes are lustful, and non-heroes are lustful too." Bai Lanxiong patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "If there were a pretty, half-naked chick like that, and she'd strip you naked if you lost a point, even a Venerable One couldn't stop this team that's risking their lives to win."

There was a considerable truth to this joke, which I could only bitterly admit.

Eleven winged female warriors, all with bare breasts, ran back and forth on the field. The sight was undoubtedly spectacular, but the audience seemed oblivious, their attention focused entirely on Yu Hong, watching her swaying breasts that seemed poised to bounce at any moment, and her pinkish-white buttocks that threatened to tear off their blouses with every movement.

The tattered bandages fluttered in the wind, making it clear to everyone that this still-fighting young woman was completely naked beneath the few remaining bandages. Her

fair, beautiful skin, glistening with fragrant sweat, glowed an unusual pinkish hue in the sunlight, creating a sensual stimulation. This attire completely revealed Yu Hong's beautiful figure, no wonder it aroused such lust and madness in these orcs.

Driven by an impossible victory, Yu Hong exerted every ounce of her strength, running back and forth across the field, repeatedly breaking through the orcs' blockade. Her cheeks flushed crimson from the intense movements, and her half-open lips exhaled hot breaths, emitting soft "ha-ya-ha-ya" moans, utterly alluring.

I, however, was somewhat worried. Knowing Yu Hong's body intimately, I had already discerned that besides the immense physical exertion, Yu Hong was undoubtedly gritting her teeth, enduring the ever-increasing fire of desire within her. Compared to the orcs' humiliation and laughter, the swollen chest rubbed raw by the bandages, the damp heat and itching between her legs, were the real issues that caused her unbearable shame and humiliation, especially since, given her pride, she certainly didn't want to be humiliated in front of her own kind.

But this perseverance, like the experiences of the past few days, was destined to be short-lived. My original intention in training Yu Hong was to turn her into a "constantly aroused slut who spreads her legs at the sight of a male," a goal that had already been achieved in the past few days.

Her body became abnormally sensitive, and her body absorbed a large amount of aphrodisiac mucus secreted by the lustful insects. This mucus circulated through her blood vessels with the intense movement. Any other normal woman would have already pounced on the beastman with bloodshot eyes, grabbing his penis and thrusting it between her legs. Yu Hong's willpower was incredibly strong to have held on this long, but a breakdown was only a matter of time.

"What's wrong? Bu Er, you seem worried about something? You should be tired of this woman by now, right?"

"It's none of your business. Just watch, why are you bothering me?"

Frustrated, I even yelled at Bai Lan Xiong in a gruff voice. Although surprised, I still couldn't calm down.

"By the way, let me tell you something interesting. Your training skills are truly impressive," Bai Lanxiong said. "I heard from Wu Zi that the slut you trained has really good lightness skills and agility. Wu Zi couldn't catch her at first, but this little slut got aroused herself, and while running, she became so wet that her legs went weak, which is why she was caught."

Seeing Bai Lanxiong's admiring expression, I didn't know what to say. The aphrodisiac fluid secreted by the lustful insects caused a buildup of desire in the body. Unless there were special medicines to suppress it, the only way to satisfy it was through intensive masturbation or intercourse. I wasn't surprised that Yu Hong failed because of this. However, thinking about the look she gave me just now, her eyes filled with resentment, I felt very uncomfortable.

On the field, the women, being more observant, noticed the unusual behavior of Yu Hong. While the orcs remained unaware, the winged warriors gradually discerned what I had anticipated. They sensed Yu Hong's strange behavior, guessing why she was blushing and panting, and why her usually swift legs had suddenly slowed, rubbing together incessantly.

The number of passes to Yu Hong decreased, partly because the orcs were marking her closely, leaving few opportunities, and partly because the winged warriors were providing less support. When the oldest winged warriors showed expressions of disdain and contempt, I knew the worst was yet to come.

Yu Hong also noticed this change. She felt like a lone warrior, wearily running alone against the entire orc horde. She still tried to change the situation, but at that moment, a bear-like figure who had been clinging to her from behind suddenly grabbed her from behind, his hairy hand reaching down to her crotch. Through the sweat-soaked towel wrapped around her hips, he touched the girl's genitals and exclaimed in surprise,

"Wow, what's going on? It's sticky and slippery! This girl was peeing while playing ball, her crotch is completely soaked!"

His intelligence was so low he couldn't distinguish between vaginal fluid and urine. The bear-like figure yelled and raised his arm, revealing a glistening patch, causing a stir among the crowd.

Her tender, sensitive crotch had been constantly rubbed by the towel, and the wide leg-spreading movements during the game had made her lose control despite her efforts to restrain herself. But the bear-like figure's touch caused Yu Hong to immediately lose control, her legs spreading weakly, and vaginal fluid flowing out. The half-wet cloth covering her was quickly soaked through.

In an instant, she became the focus of all the beastmen's attention, and everyone's gaze was fixed on the gauze scarf that was quickly soaked with moisture. The girl, ashamed to the point of wanting to die, painfully closed her eyes. Countless greedy gazes and the mocking and hateful whispers of her kin seemed to want to tear her body to shreds.

The direction of the training these past few days had been such that the more her body was exposed to others, the more uncontrollable Yu Hong's lust became. So, with this secret exposed, everyone's eyes were fixed on her naked skin, and the burning desire that had been barely suppressed in their hearts exploded. Seeing her covering her chest and legs with her hands, her fists clenched tightly, and her panting heavily, it could be inferred that she was trying her best to restrain the urge to reach out and knead her nipples and caress her vulva.

If things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before her reason was consumed by lust, and she actively pursued the orcs on the field seeking pleasure. Given Yu Hong's pride, having made such a fool of herself in front of her people, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Of course, none of this concerned me, but the waves of anxiety still made me quite unhappy.

The game continued, and the half-naked beauty, wearing only breast bandages and a sweat towel around her hips, ran back and forth on the field, not only to grab the ball but also to evade the orcs' pursuit. The twelve orcs of different races couldn't resist such temptation, openly touching Yu Hong's small, fragrant buttocks, even deliberately thrusting their backs into her, their intentions blatantly obvious.

A moment later, Yu Hong's strange behavior became increasingly obvious. Her once swift movements slowed completely, her steps became unsteady, she was covered in sweat, panting like an exhausted ox, and her eyes gleamed with undisguised lust. Even the winged female warriors who had been ignored to the side could see it clearly; the sweat towel between her legs was so soaked it could be wrung out, her swollen, honeyed lips were clearly visible under the semi-transparent gauze, even showing a pink color, and her crotch glistened in the sunlight.

The beastmen no longer needed to compete with her in speed, and leisurely surrounded her, taking advantage of the opportunity to steal the ball and deliberately pass it to her, wantonly caressing her snow-white breasts, slapping her firm little buttocks heavily, doing everything they could to provoke her.

Yu Hong's eyes were filled with confusion, and besides panting, her cherry-red mouth slowly emitted a soft moan, like that of a woman longing for love, a sound that was both plaintive and sorrowful. Anyone who had experienced the pleasures of love would know what this meant. Her small hands, which had initially resisted the orcs, were pushed away by the leopard's arm and landed on her chest. She couldn't help but pinch her nipple, barely wrapped in bandages, between two fingers and gently teased it.

One of the tiger-men, aroused by Yu Hong's alluring face, his arm-sized member already hard as steel inside his hip armor, unceremoniously pushed aside his companion and stepped forward. Taking advantage of the moment when her tiger paws were playing with her pink buttocks, he pressed his member against the girl's cleft through her hip armor, rubbing it back and forth while letting out strange cries. The entire orc community cheered loudly.

Perhaps they were having too much fun, because the ball was taken by a nearby winged female warrior, who then joined the attack, approaching the orcs' area for the first time.

The beastmen hurriedly returned to defend, and the tiger-man who was simulating ecstasy had no choice but to reluctantly stop. But as he withdrew, the girl, who had almost lost her mind, involuntarily thrust her pink buttocks back to invite him. Although it was only for a moment, the beastmen all saw it.

"So slutty! I've been with a lot of winged women lately, but I've never seen one so slutty!"

"Is she a hybrid of fox and winged women? The winged women I've been with in the past were all cold and lifeless, more like corpses than living people. This winged girl is so slutty, I should be the one to mess with her, that way..."

"Go to hell! The young clan leader said that she is to be offered as a sex slave to the Venerable One for breeding. You're not good enough to mess with her, you piece of trash!"

Yu Hong could no longer care what they were saying. Her dizzy mind tried to retain a sliver of reason, but the boiling lust within her consumed everything. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

On the other side of the ball game, the winged female warriors fought extremely hard, but when the ferocious orc players rushed back with even greater speed and ferocity, they faced obstacles, and the wooden ball quickly fell into the hands of the opposing team.

An unexpected result occurred: the orcs had clearly gone too far, especially the tiger-man player, whose hands were covered in the girls' vaginal fluids, making him slippery and almost unable to hold the ball. In that moment of carelessness, the ball was snatched from his hands and shot into the orcs' penalty area, giving the winged race their first point of the game.

However, this was not good news, because according to the secret agreement between the two sides, while this would allow the orcs to release some of the winged people, according to the rules of the game, it meant the orcs had to start undressing. The orc players acted extremely directly, without a word, immediately pulling off their hip armor, throwing it on the ground, and laughing triumphantly.

Anyone could clearly see that between their thick, fur-covered groins, massive, human-arm-thick phalluses stood erect, partially hidden by the fur. Although the scene seemed incredibly lewd, to the winged female warriors, it was a threat more terrifying than anything else.

"Dong!" The bell rang again, this time sounding more like a death knell than before. Seven or eight beastmen, already unbearably aroused and eager to find females for release, roared and pounced on the winged female warriors.

Unlike their previous charges, this time they knocked their opponents down and pounced on them, ignoring the screams and resistance of the winged female warriors below. They tore off their hip armor, adjusted their positions, and began to have sex brazenly on the field.

Even among the orcs, there were differences in skill. Those with less patience, unable to touch Yu Hong, sought to vent their desires on other female players. However, the more patient ones felt they would never see such a beautiful woman again, so even though they couldn't truly enjoy themselves, they still clung to Yu Hong, indulging in their lustful desires.

This made the scene extremely lewd. The orcs, driven by their bestial instincts, pinned the Feather Clan female warrior down, making her scream in agony. Only five ferocious orcs, their hip armor removed and their massive penises erect, remained, chasing after a nearly naked beauty on the field.

The five orc players were busy groping the girl's fragrant body. Knowing time was running out, they boldly parted the gauze already soaked with honey-like fluid, reaching for the girl's vulva, their hands becoming slippery with moisture. Her long,

slender thighs were wet, a mixture of sweat and vaginal fluid, it was impossible to tell. The girl, on the verge of collapse, slumped to the ground, eyes closed, her breath sweet and fragrant. As the beastmen roughly fondled her, she automatically spread her legs, allowing them direct access to her sensitive spots.

Due to her earlier vigorous running, the damp gauze scarf had wrung into a thin rope, huddled between her swollen labia, completely useless for concealing her private parts. Her tender vulva and golden pubic hair were almost entirely exposed. A large amount of vaginal fluid continued to flow through the strip of cloth between her labia, leaving glistening stains on the inside of her two white thighs.

I could see that Yu Hong was completely aroused. Her eyes were hazy, her expression one of ecstasy. As the beastmen grinned and thrust their hips, she didn't flinch at all, gazing at the five strangely shaped, ferocious penises with the rapt attention of admiring her spoils.

Seeing her lingering, reluctant expression, I worried that she might just grab any thick enough one and shove it into her tender little hole.

The situation had deteriorated to the point that no one was interested in playing ball anymore; it had turned into a humiliation of the female players. The orcs were on top of them, seven orcs on top of eleven winged warriors, some even on top of two at once, their bodies piled on top of each other, thrusting and pounding amidst their incessant screams, reveling in their pleasure.

The situation on Yu Hong's side wasn't much better. Five orcs surrounded her, grabbing her firm, smooth breasts and slapping her round, tender buttocks, while simultaneously rubbing her vulva with the gauze rope deeply embedded in her lips.

The girl moaned with pleasure, her legs going weak from the ten large, hairy hands, unable to rise from her knees. The gauze rope offered almost no cover, and the girl's tender pink vulva was being violated by the orcs, constantly flowing with hot, sweet fluid.

The orcs surrounding her, not yet satisfied, grabbed their genitals and began masturbating in front of her. The girl kept her eyes closed, but inhaled deeply, as if savoring the metallic scent of the male phallus.

This sight was, of course, extremely unpleasant to the other winged female warriors who were being raped. Their screams and cries found a new outlet, as they shouted insults at the girl who had fought alongside them not long ago.

"You vile harlot!"

"How can you be worthy of being a winged warrior when you're so cheap?"

"Traitor, you have no shame!"

The insults were unremarkable; I don't know what right they had to speak like that. However, their angry accusations and curses, mixed with the rapid thrusting and slapping sounds of the orc, and the shrill cries of pain from being violated, sounded somewhat comical.

The girl, immersed in the sweet pleasure within her, showed a deeply troubled expression under the accusations of her comrades, but the rising lust within her clearly overwhelmed her reason.

As the beastmen roared excitedly, spraying large amounts of thick, viscous semen onto her face, neck, hair, chest, and thighs, the girl let out a joyful moan. Not feeling disgusted at all, she stuck out her bright red tongue and, starting from her mouth, licked the warm semen from the penises of the three different races of beastmen on her body with an extremely provocative motion.

At this moment, in the eyes of the entire audience, this alluring young woman, covered in semen, with seductive eyes and bare breasts, possessed a more provocative and seductive charm than any prostitute. She seemed to have transformed into a female beast in heat, exuding a feminine fragrance to all the males.

The orcs in the arena erupted in clamor; they could no longer restrain themselves. The entire order was thrown out of control because of this alluring young woman. The orcs in the front row all crossed the sidelines, rushing forward to ravage this piece of flesh that was about to be offered to the Venerable One.

Wuz and Chiris shouted loudly to stop them, sending out their personal guards to block the orcs from entering the arena and forcibly bringing the out-of-control order back under control. For a moment, the scene was utterly chaotic.

Bai Lanxiong, seemingly indifferent, said with an admiring tone, "Bu Er, truly remarkable! I never imagined that a woman could actually be turned into this. Is this what you call 'training'?"

"You're such a strange bear. Why have you been bothering me all day? I told you I didn't know, didn't you understand?"

"Why such a big reaction? I was just asking, conducting an experiment. No need to get angry."

The unease that had been bothering me was now boiling over to the point of extreme disgust. I didn't know what to do. One impulse made me want to be like those beastmen, rushing to the front, pinning this woman down, and brutally raping her; but another feeling of nausea made me want to run away from this place as quickly as possible, to escape forever from what I was seeing.

Inside the arena, chaos reigned. The orc players, initially intending to fight recklessly, were forced to give up under the restraint of the remaining guards. But before they turned to leave, the girl, slumped on the ground, struggled to sit up and boldly grabbed the still-erect, thick penises of two orc players, one in each hand.

The soft touch of her small hands caused the two orcs to roar loudly, but judging from Yu Hong's actions, she wanted more than that.

As if completely unconscious, drool dripped from the girl's mouth, her gaze unfocused, her expression extremely alluring, yet she seemed dazed, giggling as she put one penis in her mouth while shifting her body, trying to insert the other into her tender orifice.

I didn't want to watch any longer and was about to turn away when I suddenly saw a string of crystal-clear tears silently sliding down Yu Hong's beautiful, dazed face.

In an instant, I could hear nothing more. In the utter silence, I felt a tight grip on my arm, and a voice chuckled sneer, "Bu Er, didn't you say you had no feelings for this little slut? Before she's sent away, how about I give you another chance to fuck this little whore?"

I knew I would regret it, but while my mind was still reeling, I delivered a powerful punch to Bai Lan Xiong's face, sending him flying. Then I charged into the beastmen's ranks.

"Get out of my way! Don't touch my woman with your filthy hands!"

Chapter Three: The Platinum World.

After being struck by me, Bai Lan Xiong rolled away, crashing into a large tree, and collapsed unconscious, limbs outstretched.

But fate was kind to me; when I made this irrational, unethical, and unprofitable deal, I didn't lose everything.

Because of the presence of the guards, Yu Hong's plan was thwarted. Although they were momentarily distracted by her alluring beauty, they didn't forget their mission and promptly struck down the two orc players, who were blinded by lust and eager to defile the important tribute.

Just as they were about to lift the girl up and carry her away from the crowd, my roar pierced the air, drowning out all other sounds. All the orcs froze, looking towards the source of the sound.

It was too late for regrets. As I vented my frustration, I immediately took action. Without turning to run, I charged into the orc horde.

Because of the chaos, I didn't stop until I reached the center of the field, where I encountered the guards and was discovered. I unleashed my Beast King Fist and struck a tiger-man charging towards me. Although he was skilled, my full-fledged fourth-level strength should be enough to send his heavy body flying.

"What?" Things didn't go as I expected. This incredibly serious punch only made the tiger-man lean back slightly, then charge forward even more fiercely. My Beast King Fist had absolutely no effect!

I've spent more time with Yu Hong these past few days, and with proper concealment, I haven't had much time to condense the Beast King Fist energy. I only realized now that my Beast King Fist energy had significantly weakened, a world of difference compared to when I fought Natasha a few days ago.

Why did this happen? I had no time to think. Facing the straight-on fist, I instantly drew the divine sword Hyakkimaru from my sleeve. Predicting the attack, I parried and deflected it. Blood splattered, and as the tiger-man clutched his wrist and cried out in pain, I relied on the sharpness of the divine weapon to break through several obstacles and snatch Yu Hong away.

"Hey, you filthy bitch, are you still awake?" A nearly naked girl clung to me, begging for a kiss. It would certainly be a very erotic thing, but unfortunately, the time and place were wrong. If she continued like this, we would both be doomed here.

One bad thing after another happened. The orcs' eyes were focused on the center of the commotion, and the noise in the entire arena suddenly stopped. I was confused, looking at their surprised and furious expressions, as if they had seen something incredible. But they were clearly looking at me and Yu Hong. Were we that strange?

(Ah! Could it be...)

I subconsciously reached up and touched my head, only to find that the stone hat that should have been on my head was gone. It must have been knocked off when I rushed in. Where was I going to find it now? Without the stone hat to conceal my identity, the truth that I was human was out of the question, and what was worse was... that in this very situation, the three races of orcs had seen through my true nature.

"W-how can there be a human?"

"A man? How can there be a man among the Feathered Clan? How did a human appear here?"

"I recognize him. He's a helper the Feathered Clan invited. He fought against the Snake Clan. His name is something like Lan..."

Although they couldn't remember my alias, the beastmen had undoubtedly recognized me. Although they didn't associate me with "Bu Er Xiong," that didn't help much. In the beastmen's eyes, a hateful enemy had appeared, and openly provoked them in this situation where all three major beast clans were present. In order to completely annihilate the Feathered Clan's forces, they wanted to tear this human to pieces. Before their

leader could give the order, the beastmen rushed towards them almost frantically, coming from all directions. Because I hadn't brought any weapons in the rush, I didn't have to face heavy weapons like spiked clubs or spears, but the beastmen channeled their strength into their arms, forcing out their claws. Taking a heavy blow would still tear my skin apart.

Even if my power hadn't been depleted, I still wouldn't be able to handle so many orcs. Besides, I was currently just blindly swinging my sword while also trying to take care of the lustful woman in my arms who kept groping me. There simply wasn't enough time to cast a spell. With large numbers of orcs constantly surging in from all sides, the effect of a single sharp divine weapon was far too limited…

Being able to wound more than ten orcs in succession was probably my current limit. Especially since I had to protect one more person, my weaknesses were further amplified. After about the fifteenth orc fell with a scream, my wrist was swept by a beast's claw. The force was extremely strong; Hyakkimaru lost his grip and flew into the air. Yu Hong and I were also pushed backward.

(Damn it, impulsiveness really does ruin things. My life…)

In the past, I've faced life-or-death situations many times, but this time, I felt ridiculous. As my back hit the ground, Mao Yan'an's dying smile suddenly flashed before my eyes. He must have felt the same way I did, right? Because he realized how absurd his death was, that's why he showed that bitter smile...

Hyakkimaru's sharp blade whistled as it flew upwards, while the beastmen's claws and heavy legs lashed out at me. It seemed I was about to be torn to pieces and die a gruesome death when suddenly a loud shout drowned out Hyakkimaru's piercing whistle.

"Whoever dares to touch him, I'll kill them!"

With this shout, a black shadow leaped out, appearing from who-knows-where. He fell straight down from mid-air, landing steadily in front of me and Yu Hong like a mountain. With a sweeping leg, the force was astonishing, sending seven or eight beastmen surrounding us flying backwards, knocking down a group of beastmen behind them as well.

(Wow! This isn't just level four, it's at least level five! Who is this person?)

Because of the backlighting, I couldn't see very clearly, but I could still make out a burly human man guarding us. I'd never seen this figure before, yet… there was a strange sense of familiarity.

Pushing aside the orcs around him, the man flicked his wrist, handing me the Hyakkimaru. A purple cloak cascaded down, covering Yu Hong's naked body. I finally had a chance to strike back, knocking the unsuspecting Yu Hong unconscious, reducing obstacles to our escape.

"Go!" the man roared, charging ahead and leading the way. I couldn't discern his martial arts style, but it was expansive and powerful, displaying the air of a master. The force he unleashed was terrifying. No master I knew possessed such astonishing strength. I didn't understand why a mysterious expert would suddenly appear at this critical moment, covering our escape.

But compared to my doubts, the orcs were even more astonished, because they soon recognized that the human man was using the most powerful martial art in the Southern Barbarians—the Beast King Fist!

"Brahma Skin Technique!"

The burly man took a deep breath, and the beast claws that had been pounding him suddenly lost their grip, sliding off to the side. He seized the opportunity to counterattack with his "Vajra Ape Arm," sending the beastmen flying with a punch. When Yu Hong and I were in danger behind him, he didn't even turn his head, unleashing a powerful "Antelope Chain Kick," turning the two tiger-men into rolling gourds.

The Beast King Technique, which greatly increases one's strength, is a skill almost every orc in Youli must master. But this burly man not only possessed immense strength, but his application of various finger, arm, leg, elbow, and knee techniques was also incredibly fluid. It transcended the scope of the Beast King Technique; it was the true ultimate technique of the Beast King, the Beast King Fist.

"Why, why does this human know the Beast King Fist?"

Recognizing this, the clamor among the orcs was even louder than during the ball game. I had used the Beast King Fist in my previous battle with Natasha, and now another human knows it. The first divine skill of the Southern Barbarians has been passed down to an outsider—how could the orcs not be astonished?

This man's Beast King Fist is extremely refined, even more domineering than the one I used before. With each swing, a charging, battle-hardened spirit is revealed, yet it doesn't deviate from the fundamentals of orc martial arts, constantly radiating a ferocious, savage killing intent that intimidates the enemy.

Under the sweeping force of this Beast King Fist, propelled by fifth-level power, the orcs couldn't stop us, and we broke through the crowd. If this continued, we could escape the encirclement and engage in a long chase with the orcs behind us. However, the orc leaders joined forces to stop this.

Seeing the power of the man's Beast King Fist, Chiris and Wuz attacked together, coming from the left and right respectively. The tiger and leopard, though only having mastered the Beast King Technique, possessed formidable power. The burly man didn't engage in a direct confrontation; instead, he used the Brahma Skin Technique to absorb and deflect the force before counterattacking with the Vajra Ape Arm. As he himself staggered back two steps due to the immense impact, Chiris and Wuz were also propelled into a more advantageous position by his Vajra Ape

Arm. The burly man retracted his arms, his breathing becoming unusually deep. When

this

breath reached its peak, he unleashed a ferocious roar like a wild beast. "Ora ora ...

The orcs' gasps of astonishment once again shook the heavens. Legend had it that when one mastered the Beast King Fist to the sixth level or higher, they would evolve from their original beast form into a Beast God, unlocking new ultimate techniques. When the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts instructed the successors of various races, he at most taught the basic Beast King Techniques, never passing on the authentic Beast King Fist to outsiders. Therefore, in the orcs' minds, this was the first time they had seen anyone other than the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts wield this "Platinum Fist."

Simultaneously with the punch, the power also surged to the sixth level. In the Southern Barbarians, besides the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts, only a handful of people possessed power exceeding the fifth level, and now there wasn't even half. The divine fist's overwhelming power, coupled with the surging, explosive sixth-level strength, left every orc touched by its force only able to collapse to the ground with a series of "whoosh whoosh" sounds.

Among the orcs, the most intelligent and talented in martial arts was the Leopard Clan Chief, Qiris. Taking advantage of the weakened momentum of the Platinum Fist, he swiftly attacked from a blind spot in the punching technique. Leveraging the leopard's incredible speed, he had a good chance to deliver a heavy blow before his enemy could recover, overcoming the power difference.

"You worthless piece of trash! Today I will surely blast you to pieces, defeated by my Golden Leopard..."

It was unclear what the Golden Leopard was, as Chiris was struck on the left cheek by the large man's ever-present left arm just before he could land his blow, his words cut short.

"Useless, useless, useless, useless, useless, useless, useless, useless~~~~~"

Another series of thunderous roars followed, and the large man's fists unleashed a different kind of power. Unlike the previous rapid, frenzied punches, this wave of fists was quite slow and restrained, only unleashing its devastating force after striking the enemy's body.

The masculine Platinum Fist and the feminine World Fist—these are two divine fists in the advanced application of the Beast King Fist. Legend has it that the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Beasts once said, "Only those who comprehend Platinum can master the World," but apart from him, no orc has ever been able to cultivate this advanced fist technique. Furthermore, no one expected that today, a powerful figure who had mastered both of these divine fists would utterly defeat the three races of orcs.

Platinum on the right, World on the left—the burly man's fists, like a barrage of crossbow bolts, relentlessly attacked everything within their range. Clearly unwilling to inflict further casualties, he held back, but amidst cries of "Ora ora ora!" and "Useless, useless!", the orcs were overwhelmed, allowing us to break through their encirclement.

The situation looked promising, but I knew it was just luck. The orcs' fear of the Beast King's Fist and this man's swift and decisive attack allowed us to catch them off guard in the chaos. If Chiris and Wuz had calmed down and abandoned their individual bravery in favor of a coordinated attack, even with Fang Qingshu's seventh-level strength, he would have suffered a crushing defeat and fled. How much more so for us?

Fortunately, this big man was not just a man of strength. When we finally broke through the encirclement and the orcs behind us hadn't yet recovered and caught up, he gave a whistle, and a six-legged leopard clad in saddle armor quickly ran out of the woods. He pulled me and Yu Hong onto it, shouted loudly, and the six-legged leopard's six hooves flew, quickly running away and leaving the orcs behind.

The orcs snapped out of their daze and chased after them, shouting and yelling. But the six-legged leopards were incredibly fast, quickly leaving the orcs far behind. Although they immediately called in their own six-legged leopard cavalry, they were too late. In just a few moments, all that remained were a series of angry and resentful roars, and the orcs disappeared from sight.

Trees and scenery rushed past as the six-legged leopard ran with all its might. After a quarter of an hour, we arrived at a dense forest. The burly man pulled on the reins, and the six-legged leopard stopped. All three of us dismounted.

"I don't know why you helped me..." I said, looking at the burly man, "But could you take off that hat? It's the first time I've seen someone wear it."

The "burly man" transformed into a "giant bear" the moment he took off the hat, tossing the stone hat from his bear paws and smiling at me. It wasn't hard to guess. Even at my strongest, I wasn't arrogant enough to think I could knock out the young master of the bear clan with a single punch. Yet, in that fierce battle just now, Chiris and Wuz had both made their moves, but the White Orchid Bear was nowhere to be seen.

The Beast King Fist was a unique martial art of the beastmen. Apart from my successful reverse training using the Great Sun Mirror, it was impossible for any human to master it under normal circumstances. Looking across the Southern Barbarian lands, aside from a few elders below the Beast Master, among the younger generation, Bai Lanxiong likely possesses the highest cultivation and strongest martial arts. If anyone could lead us out of this encirclement, I can't think of a second candidate besides him.

Therefore, even with the stone hat concealing his identity, I still recognized him. However, I still couldn't fathom why he would do me such a huge favor.

"The stone hat has countless uses. With proper settings, it can specify the race after transformation. You, Bu'er, seem unaware of this? If I hadn't secretly adjusted it for you, you would have already given yourself away."

"What?" I anticipated what Bai Lanxiong would say, but his opening line left me utterly astonished. This guy… actually knew how to use the stone hat?

“Don’t be so surprised. You’re not the first human to enter the Southern Barbarian Lands wearing a stone hat. I saw Teacher Mao use one when I was a kid. You’ve masked your body odor very well with your Beast King Fist, but you don’t know that the stone hat itself has a special smell. It’s very faint, and you can’t smell it unless you pay special attention. Even I spent several days to confirm that you are a human who transformed using a stone hat.”

Bai Lanxiong said, “I didn’t know you before. You came to help the Feather Clan. Logically speaking, we are enemies, but since you are wearing a stone hat, you must have a connection with Teacher Mao. I can’t just stand by and watch his relatives and friends die.” I

really didn’t expect that this white bear’s mind would be more meticulous than I thought. He saw through my identity early on. What I didn’t expect was that I escaped a disaster because of Uncle Mao Yan’an’s influence. It seems that in the Southern Barbarian Lands, being a rock star is more advantageous than being a strongman.

"That's how it started, but you've helped me a lot during this time, and I'm very happy to finally have someone to talk to like this. So, Fuji... we're friends now."

Shaking hands with such a burly bear is a strange thing, but during the handshake, I could feel his sincerity and friendship. Perhaps, for this extraordinary polar bear, finally having a friend wise enough to understand him is the most precious joy.

"Is this slut the older or younger sister of Twin Rainbows?" White Bear asked with a smile, pointing at the still unconscious Yu Hong.

Since he could see through my lie, guessing Yu Hong's identity wasn't difficult. After I gave my answer, White Bear smiled strangely, "Normally, I'd sleep with her at least ten or eight times, but she's your woman, so you should follow human etiquette. A friend's wife is not to be trifled with, right?"

I suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. So this was the absurd reason he'd been using to provoke and test me these past two days, and finally stepped in to help at this crucial moment.

"I've heard so many stories of powerful figures in the past. Besides deeply admiring them, I'm also moved by their love stories. A successful powerful figure must have had life-and-death romances with more than ten beauties, and fathered ten times as many illegitimate children. I really hope to have such a romance with a beauty, but I've only ever seen sluts with legs spread and moaning, never a woman worthy of my love. So I envy you, Bu Er..."

Bai Lan Xiong's expression was almost tearful. He slapped my shoulder heavily and said, "You must cherish this. Please remember this ancient saying from the Southern Barbarians: 'Even if the earth grows old and the heavens wither, love will never die!'"

I mean... it's because you beastmen only know how to pounce on women and force yourself on them that we have no romance to talk about. But looking at Bai Lan Xiong's impassioned expression, clearly a heavy addict to romance novels, I could only lament the future of the Southern Barbarians.

"But do you know how dangerous this is? You saved us. Chiris and Wuz aren't stupid; they'll figure it out sooner or later. If you let go of the slave girl meant for the Beast Lord, and things get out of hand, your position as the heir of the Bear Clan will be in jeopardy."

Basic morality compelled me to worry about Bai Lan Xiong, but this guy laughed heartily, saying, "Just say you knocked me unconscious. It'll be embarrassing, but everyone's in a bad situation, so it won't be too shameful for me."

"Such a lame lie..."

"Don't forget, there aren't many Youli Beastmen as smart as me. Wuz and Chiris are my brothers; they won't betray me."

"You're quite capable. I'll tell you something that should improve your situation."

It was rare for a beastman to be so loyal, so I couldn't leave without repaying him. I told him everything I'd seen and heard during my infiltration of Skeva Song Tower City, including the Snake Clan's intention to attack the three clans and their rebellion against the Beast Lord, so he could be prepared.

"This is indeed very valuable intelligence. Let's make good use of it. Maybe we can catch those vile snake clan members off guard and ensure they never have a chance to rise again in Youli."

Bai Lanxiong said, "Bu Er, do you know? I was designated as the heir of the bear clan when I was very young. Although I was born the eldest son, a big reason I was chosen to inherit the position was because of Teacher Mao's recommendation."

Mao Yan'an? What does this have to do with him?

I was completely puzzled by Bai Lanxiong's sudden mention of my uncle at this time.

Bai Lanxiong then explained that a long time ago, when Mao Yan'an and two companions were performing in Youli and became very popular, the various beast clans, who had never had a good impression of intellectuals, welcomed them very much and took advantage of their intelligence. At that time, in front of the elders of the Bear Clan, Mao Yan'an praised the young Bai Lanxiong for his intelligence and said that he would surely bring glory to the Bear Clan and enhance the prestige of Behemoth in the future. The chieftain and elders of the Bear Clan were overjoyed. From then on, Bai Lanxiong stood out from the other sons and became the heir.

"I've always been grateful to Teacher Mao, but it's a pity I've never had the chance to express my gratitude to him," Bai Lanxiong said. "However, there's something few people know..."

"..."

"Teacher once prophesied for me that my achievements wouldn't be limited to the Southern Barbarians. One day, I would dominate half of the North and become the first overlord of my Behemoth race."

Perhaps seeing my expression as I was trying hard to suppress a laugh, Bai Lanxiong laughed and patted me on the shoulder, saying, "Why that expression? Do you think the orcs can never expand their influence beyond the Southern Barbarians?"

"No, but what would it be like for a perfectly normal white bear to dominate the North? An Arctic White Rotten Bear?"

Bai Lanxiong frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'rotten'? A strong person's life is all about becoming a king or a hegemon. You should at least add the word 'hegemon' to make it sound more respectable."

"Then... Arctic Hegemon Bear?"

"That name is so vulgar. How about the reverse... Arctic Hegemon, what do you think?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like crying... This name sounds like some outdated gang leader."

Bai Lanxiong is gone. Watching his dashing figure as he departs, I suddenly feel that perhaps one day, this white bear will truly leave the Southern Wilderness and carve out a foundation for himself in the outside world. For a hero like him, Youli… no, the Southern Wilderness is too small. It is

widely rumored among the beast races that the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts personally said, “Only those who comprehend the Platinum can master the world.” That’s why Bai Lanxiong’s Platinum World Fist technique just now amazed everyone. However, Bai Lanxiong told me that many years ago, when the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts summoned the successors of various beast races to impart martial arts techniques, he added, “After understanding the world, the one who wields his fist will be invincible.”

The successors of various beast races practice according to the techniques, but at most they can only master the Beast King Technique. Only Bai Lanxiong has extraordinary talent and comprehends the parts beyond the techniques, truly mastering the Beast King Fist and even raising it to the sixth level of Beast God Transformation, able to wield the Platinum, World Fist. He said he hadn't fully grasped the mysteries of the world yet, but one day when he completely mastered these two divine fists, he would see the world beyond the Southern Barbarians.

Grandpa Lust once said that no matter how history changes, the heroes of the past and present always carry the same wind in their hearts—a transparent wind called ambition. When Bai Lanxiong steps out of the Southern Barbarians, it will surely cause quite a stir in the outside world…

But that's all for later. Right now, I'm only thinking about how to get Ah Xue out.

When Bai Lanxiong left, he asked me if I had a place to hide. Because if Yu Hong and I escaped, the beastmen would quickly organize a search party, searching every corner nearby. With just the two of us on foot, it was impossible to escape before they caught up, and Bai Lanxiong couldn't attack a second time, so we had to find a place to hide for a while.

I told him I did; actually, I already had a plan in mind at that time. The Serpent Clan is clearly plotting something against the three races. Knowing this, Bai Lanxiong will almost certainly strike first, then gather evidence. In other words, a fierce battle between the three races and the Serpent Clan is inevitable within two days. In the chaos of war, I'll have a great chance to rescue Ah Xue. Therefore, my immediate priority is to infiltrate Skeva's City again via the Valley of the Dead.

To infiltrate Skeva's City, I need to be prepared to fight. Hyakkimaru's sharpness can be a great help, but…

I secretly tried to gather my strength twice, but my dantian was completely empty; I couldn't muster anything. The Beast King Fist energy that was so abundant until two days ago had vanished entirely. That bitch Phoenix is almost certainly plotting something again. Even if a demon's byproduct isn't malicious, it's most likely a flawed product, and my current experience is the best proof.

"Are you awake? Hold your cloak tighter. I'm not interested in seeing you naked right now. If you still crave a man with you, just grab a twig and prop yourself up for now."

The faint sound behind me told me that Yu Hong had woken up, and her breathing was gradually returning to normal. Clearly, the cold wind had cleared her head.

Even without the Beast King Fist's protection, I wasn't afraid of Yu Hong's sneak attack. Yu Hong, whose virginity had been lost and whose vital essence had been greatly depleted by days of indulgence, was still a formidable opponent compared to me, who had lost the power of the Beast King Fist. However, bound by the insects in her wrists and ankles, Yu Hong was definitely no match for me, who wielded the Hundred Demon Pill.

Turning my head, I saw that Yu Hong had already covered her body with her cloak. Her face, stained with grime, still seemed somewhat dazed, but her eyes had regained the deep-seated hatred I knew so well.

I don't like being glared at like I'm my father's killer, but at this critical juncture, traveling with a woman who hates me to the core is at least better than traveling with a lustful woman whose mind is only focused on mating.

"I don't know why I saved you. You can come up with a thousand reasons, and I can come up with a thousand reasons, but the only truth I can tell you is that even I don't know why I did it."

There's no time for guessing each other on this question; I need to clarify the situation as soon as possible and get to work.

Chapter Four: The Birth of a Fierce Bird

"Believe it or not, I'm going to start fulfilling my promise to Katrina now. Saving people from the three beast tribes is almost impossible, but your kin are still in the hands of the snake tribe. If we can rescue them and combine our strength, perhaps we can achieve something... You can stand by and do nothing, but if you also want to see your kin escape their suffering, then cooperate with me and sneak back to Skeva's Song Tower City."

Speaking half-truthfully, at this moment, I really needed help. Although Yu Hong was hampered by the insectoid body, as long as she could calm down and not go into heat so easily, she could be considered a valuable asset. She would be suitable to infiltrate the city with me for guerrilla warfare, and, if necessary… to serve as a sacrificial shield.

We shared a common goal, but neither of us had a better option, so cooperation became an inevitable conclusion. Together, we first took advantage of the bright sunshine and sneaked back to the Valley of the Dead along the path. Although we heard some noise from orcs chasing us, we avoided them all.

When I opened the secret door of the tomb and entered the secret passage with Yu Hong, the orcs' pursuers were no longer a concern. Firstly, this valley was extremely well-hidden; they hadn't found it before, and now, in such a rush, it would be even more difficult for them to find it. Secondly, with the war between the Tiger, Leopard, and Bear clans and the Snake clan imminent, I didn't believe that Bai Lan Xiong wouldn't immediately gather every bit of strength and resources at hand to prepare for war; there simply weren't enough people available to search.

For safety's sake, Yu Hong walked in front, and I, following behind her, inadvertently caught sight of the red birthmark on her shoulder again. Noticing this, she quickly pulled her cloak over her shoulder, disregarding the exposed thigh. The

palm-sized red mark, though marring the beauty of her fair skin and appearing unsightly, didn't seem to warrant such a hasty attempt to conceal it. I suspected it might hold some secret, but now was certainly not a good time to delve deeper.

I could sense she had many things to say, and I also loathed this oppressive, eerie atmosphere, but besides silently continuing to grope our way forward in the darkness, we had nothing else to do. Neither of us could guarantee that this fragile partnership wouldn't crumble the moment we opened our mouths, leading to a deadly battle.

Before achieving our respective goals, neither of us wanted to risk a premature breakdown and a complete breakdown in relations.

Despite being deep underground where no sunlight could reach, the crystal mirror's function seemed to only activate when the moon was high in the sky. So, we wasted a considerable amount of time waiting for the moon to rise. Naturally, since neither Yu Hong nor I had much desire to talk, this became a truly long wait.

However, during the wait, I used the herbs I had on hand to concoct a small antidote to slightly suppress the aphrodisiac effects of the lustful insects' secretions, which I gave to Yu Hong. The effect wouldn't be great, but at least she wouldn't become weak in the knees after just a few moves due to accelerated blood flow, aroused lust, and profuse ejaculation.

When I handed her the antidote, Yu Hong swallowed it without even asking a question.

When the moon was high in the sky, through the mysterious crystal mirror, we traversed space to reach the underground chamber of the city. However, although we were prepared this time, our luck was terrible; we didn't get any treasures, unlike last time when we at least earned a box.

The pairing of the winged girl and the human man seemed to have failed to attract the favor of the goddess of fate. When we emerged from the crystal wall, I almost thought I had been transported to a different place, because the scenery was different from when I last came out; something was missing.

After running a few steps and looking around, I was certain that this was the underground chamber of the city I had visited not long ago, and the sliver of light shining through indicated that the chamber had been discovered and opened.

"What's wrong? Is something amiss?" Despite her extreme aversion to speaking to me, Yu Hong still asked the question when she noticed my extremely strange expression.

"Gone..." Instantly, Katrina's sorrowful expression flashed before my eyes, and I said bitterly, "The winged eggs, all of them... are gone."

Yu Hong quickly grasped the gravity of the situation. After we walked around the secret chamber together, we discovered that the passageway had been opened and the explosives at the door had been removed, but almost all the explosives remained in their original positions, indicating the haste of the operation.

I had indeed closed the door properly when I left the chamber, but the snake clan's sense of smell was extremely keen. Perhaps after sensing an intruder, they began searching the entire city, noticed the unusual smell, and thus found this secret chamber, disarmed the mechanism, and took the winged child's egg.

"We can't do anything here. Let's go outside and check the situation."

Actually, I really wanted to stay in the secret chamber and wait for the three beast clans' attack, but that would make it difficult to monitor the outside situation. If the snake clan moved the hostages' location, it would be very bad. So, using the excuse that there were still winged children being imprisoned, I asked Yu Hong to come with me.

I tucked the stone hat into my pocket. Since we were traveling as a group, and I couldn't use my Beast King Fist to create a scent, wearing the hat wouldn't necessarily make us safer.

Leaving the secret chamber and reaching the surface, I worried about a surprise attack, but the snake clan seemed busy with something. Once outside the chamber, besides seeing many messy crawling tracks on the ground, indicating their haste, we couldn't see anything else.

(Strange, where did they go…)

Not seeing any trace of the snake clan, I wondered. I remembered they were preparing some powerful weapons to deal with the three major beast clans. Could it be that they were speeding up preparations because they were wary of their secret being leaked?

The transformed Great Sun Mirror was also an important weapon for them. Yu Hong and I had wasted a lot of time in the valley waiting for the moon to rise, and now there were less than twelve hours left until Natasha's promised completion time for the modification—it was incredibly tight.

Leaving the White Building, we headed towards the Red Building. Yu Hong's strengths became apparent at this moment. Having consumed herbs to suppress the aphrodisiac and recovered her strength after rest, she folded her wings and moved with agile, swift movements, like a wisp of smoke, silently approaching the Red Mansion.

Her steps were clearly unsteady and weak, contrary to the essence of superior lightness skill—a result of her severely depleted power over the past few days. Yet, each step landed silently; this skill, untrained by orthodox lightness skill, was likely her professional ability as a constable.

Avoiding potential combat, we crept into the Red Mansion, sniffing the persistent stench of blood emanating from within. Yu Hong's expression was quite anxious. The scene in the blood pool might be too stimulating for her. I considered whether to let her approach, but I was still a step too late.

The enormous blood pool churned like a hot spring, its surface bubbling with fist-sized blood bubbles. The Great Sun Mirror, immersed in the blood pool, had also changed after a day and night of tempering; its entire surface was covered with a layer of dark, ebony-like aura, extremely sinister.

Ah Xue's body was mostly submerged in the blood pool, several thick iron chains binding her to the Great Sun Mirror, her head drooping limply, as if she had lost consciousness.

This wasn't the most shocking sight, though. The truly horrifying scene was at the pool's edge: two winged girls lay intertwined, impaled by a spear, pinned to the ground. Their lifeless bodies and heads were unnaturally twisted, their small necks twisted and bleeding faintly. Shocking, dried bloodstains were imprinted on the stones by the pool, and the dozens of child corpses piled up nearby confirmed the origin of these bloodstains.

The snake clan must have sensed the intrusion and quickened their pace. The girls I had seen when I left last time had all been killed prematurely, their blood flowing into the pool.

Yu Hong's eyes suddenly widened in utter horror, and I immediately decided to act, pressing my hand firmly against her mouth, leaving no gap. Soon after, the immense impact I felt in my palm proved I had acted correctly.

The cruel massacre of the Feather Clan children was a tragic event. However, that's how war between two races is. Anyone who expects to see the Snake Clan treat their captives kindly and play affectionately with the enemy children is definitely more confused than I am.

Regardless of the reason, war itself is cruel, and if you don't want to see such scenes, you should prevent war from happening in the first place. Of course, such words are meaningless at this moment.

If Yu Hong's screams had gotten out, we would both have been in serious trouble. Luckily, I acted quickly. Now, looking more closely at the scene below, I saw a stone altar on the other side of the blood pool. Two snake women were using ladles to scoop up the resentful blood from the pool and pour it onto the runes engraved on the altar. An elderly snake woman was chanting some ancient incantation that I couldn't understand, while gesturing with her hands to cast a beast demon.

Orcs and half-orcs cannot cultivate magic like humans; when casting spells, they can only convert magical power through beast demons. On the old snake woman's right palm was a hideous beast demon resembling a toad; judging from the magical fluctuations, it was likely some kind of sinister and evil magic. But what truly startled me was the object on the altar: a pure white winged race egg.

Catalyzed by the snake race's incantation, the runes on the altar emitted black smoke, guiding resentful blood and continuously gathering evil power at the egg in the center of the altar. The eggshell's original crystalline luster quickly dimmed, turning a filthy blackish-red, and soon cracks appeared. With a

piercing scream from the old snake woman, something hatched, rapidly growing larger on the altar, doubling in size in the blink of an eye, becoming a creature the size of an infant.

It had a human form and wings, but it wasn't the winged race that should have hatched; instead, it was a hideous, grotesque human-faced bird. Its mouth, which should have resembled a human's, was replaced by a sharp, curved beak; the fair skin between its waist and abdomen had transformed into ugly, dark blue scales.

So this was the origin of the human-faced bird. In that instant, I understood many things. Why did the Feathered Clan consider the creation of the human-faced bird a taboo? Why did the human-faced bird cease to appear after Phoenix Island vanished? Why did the Phoenix Goddess absolutely forbid the appearance of human-faced birds among the Southern Barbarians? Why did Katrina entrust me with destroying the embryonic egg as a last resort? The reason was entirely because the human-faced bird was created from a Feathered Clan embryonic egg—an incredibly insidious and evil beast magic technique.

Perhaps because it had just hatched, the human-faced bird, unable to even open its eyes, didn't seem particularly ferocious. But this little angel, who should have arrived in the world with blessings and anticipation, was cursed from birth, becoming an evil and ugly life form. For the Feathered Clan, who placed all their hopes on the next generation, this was truly the greatest tragedy.

The old snake woman grabbed the human-faced bird with her withered hands and said a few words to the two snake women beside her, seemingly instructing them to take the newborn creature away to prepare it for refining a beast demon.

Even I, witnessing this scene, felt as if I had inhaled a mouthful of poisonous gas; my mind was a little confused, and I was so distracted that I neglected my grip, allowing Yu Hong to break free.

The girl's reaction in that instant was like that of a raging, enraged female leopard. Ignoring her physical condition, she leaped directly from the crack in the first-floor floor, her movements light and agile, arriving like an arrow before the three snake women could react.

The old snake woman was the first to notice and seemed to try to chant some incantation to stop her, but Yu Hong was one step ahead, using the powerful force of her dive to strike her first with a heavy punch.

It was hard to believe this was a fist still restrained by the insectoid body. The girl's intense grief and anger allowed her to unleash power beyond the limits of her physical body. The sound of bones shattering rang out clearly. The old snake woman howled and leaned back, just in time to be hit by the second half of the girl's sudden attack.

After the punch struck its target, Yu Hong spun in mid-air, her movements incredibly light. Her naked, fragrant body under her cloak transformed into a sensual dance, while her long, beautiful legs became the most lethal weapons, delivering a heavy, grappling kick to the enemy's neck.

Even for powerful creatures like the snake race, a heavy blow to the neck can be fatal. The ugly, elderly snake woman died instantly, but Yu Hong, who had achieved this impressive feat, immediately faced a pincer attack from two snake women who had recovered from their shock.

Whether due to insufficient ability or something else, the two snake women did not use their beast demon techniques, but simply attacked from both sides. If Yu Hong still had half of her original martial arts skills, she should have been able to win easily, but her power had greatly diminished, and she was bound by the insect body. Having exhausted all her strength in that furious attack, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, staggering backward.

Barely defeating one was probably the limit of her ability. Just as she was exhausted and fell to the ground in a sorry state, about to be strangled by the last snake woman, foul-smelling blood gushed from the enemy's chest, and she fell down. Having successfully carried out the sneak attack, I forcefully pulled back the Hyakkimaru and delivered a few more blows to the head of the dead snake woman.

If the battle is prolonged, it will only alert a large number of the Serpent Clan's forces. If I were to allow that to happen, something truly sinister would occur. Only by quickly eliminating them can we have time to deal with other matters.

Actually, acting now is not my intention, because even if we can save them, it will inevitably alert the Serpent Clan,

leading to a large-scale manhunt, which would be disastrous. It would be much safer to act after the three clans have taken action and the situation here is in chaos. However, things are developing too quickly, and there's no one else guarding this place, so I have no choice but to improvise. Yu Hong lay to one side, panting heavily. She glanced at me before shifting her gaze to the embryonic eggs on the altar. Whatever she intends to do, I know very well that we have absolutely no chance of taking these embryonic eggs away now.

The blood pool was still bubbling and boiling. I endured the nausea and jumped in, the overflowing blood soaking up to my chest. The pungent stench of blood was nauseating, but that wasn't the worst part. The malevolent aura of the resentful blood in the pool, combined with some kind of sinister and evil energy, made one feel hot and cold, as if all the vital energy in their body was being drained away, causing extreme discomfort.

Ah Xue, head bowed, remained semi-conscious, groaning in pain. I didn't call out to her, but tried to use the Hundred Ghosts Pill to cut at the chains binding her. However, the divine weapon, which was supposed to be as sharp as cutting through iron, failed this time. The chains, soaked in resentful blood and wrapped around the Great Sun Mirror, were protected by some kind of cursed power and couldn't be destroyed by physical force alone.

"Damn it, why can't I cut them?" I didn't have Ah Xue's divine strength. If I couldn't cut the chains, I couldn't carry her and the Great Sun Mirror away. Moreover, being immersed in the blood pool, vaguely sensing the resentment of dozens of wronged souls, my body was involuntarily sweating profusely, and I wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

I swung a few more times, but the chain remained unmoved. Hyakkimaru didn't even manage to strike the chain before the cursed power blocked his attack. Just as I was getting anxious, the semi-conscious Ayumi gradually regained consciousness.

"...Master...Master..."

"Stop yelling. If you have a way, help me get you out of here quickly."

Shorter than me, the resentful blood in the pool had already soaked up to Ayumi's neck, covering most of her body. Because of this, I couldn't confirm what kind of modifications the snake clan claimed to have done to her. But Ayumi, who originally looked completely human except for her fox ears and tail, suddenly felt like she was touching animal fur when I touched her pink back, which told me something was wrong.

Looking up, Ayumi, who had suffered these days of torment, looked extremely haggard. Her once vibrant eyes were now dull and lifeless, especially the tears that kept overflowing, which were particularly heartbreaking.

"Master...over there...there were lots of children there...these past few days, they've been cheering me on, and I've been comforting them...I laughed with those children...I promised I'd rescue them all..."

Once you understand this girl's personality and use your imagination, the whole situation becomes clear. The girl imprisoned in the cage, the young woman locked in the blood pool—two people in the same predicament, supporting each other through their expressions and encouraging glances. To

be on the verge of death and still have the heart to smile at the prisoners beside her—only someone as simple-minded and optimistic as Ah Xue could do that. But for the winged children, captured in this eerie place, their entire tribe missing, filled with panic and fear, this seemingly simple-minded older sister desperately trying to soothe their anxieties with a smile might seem like a gentle and kind angel. It's not surprising that a friendship could form between them. But… this is the worst environment and situation for making friends…

“Those snake women came, they took those children one by one… I, I wanted to stop them, I told them not to, but they still… Neon and the others taught me the incantation to pray to the gods, I prayed with the children, we were really sincere, but… why are the children still gone one by one? They were just smiling at me, but now… why are they all gone?”

At this moment, a person's strength is more important than anything else. When I was raping Yu Hong, I never heard her pray to the gods, I believe she has understood this principle.

But I can't reprimand A Xue. Although we have different views on life, for this girl who is trying to ignite a small glimmer of light in the boundless darkness, I can't bring myself to say anything harsh.

“Those snake women… every time, every time they put the blood in the pool, they force me to drink it first… I… I’m so sad, Master, Master, waah…” Ah Xue couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and burst into sobs. Crystalline tears stained with blood streamed down her pale cheeks, making her look truly blood-stained.

My heart ached, but I knew that if I let her cry like this, it would soon alert the snake clan. And at this moment, there was only one thing I could do, so the best thing to do was…

“Hmm…” Given the intimacy of my physical relationship with Ah Xue, such a simple kiss was nothing, but as I gently touched her soft rose lips and stroked her delicate cheeks, I suddenly felt a flutter in my heart.

The sound of crying was silenced by a kiss, turning into a faint, unspoken sob. Only when their lips parted did Ah Xue lift her tear-streaked face, half-crying as she said, "Master... your breath tastes so strange, it's all bloody..."

"Fool, that's all from you!" There was no time for further words. I sensed that the snake clan was approaching, so I hugged Ah Xue in this extremely awkward position and whispered, "You have to believe me, I will definitely rescue you. Even if it's not here, I will definitely..." As

I spoke, I suddenly realized that our bodies couldn't be pressed tightly together. Her large, round breasts, whose exact size couldn't be seen underwater, were firmly pressed against my chest. Just the touch alone was enough to fill one's imagination.

(God, what did they do to you?)

I couldn't say these words again, lest they cause Ah Xue further grief. Since I couldn't break the chains, I had to think of another way. I had to leave immediately and hide again. I offered Ah Xue a few more words of comfort and was about to leave when I suddenly heard a cracking sound. Looking to the side, I was immediately horrified.

Yu Hong, gritting her teeth, tears of regret streaming down her face, picked up a stone with her weak, aching hand and tremblingly smashed it against the white embryonic eggs beside the altar, breaking them one by one.

"Are you crazy! These are the embryonic eggs of your Feather Clan! Isn't this what you risk your lives for?" I rushed towards the blood pool, leaping towards the altar, grabbing Yu Hong's hand, about to scold her, but she seemed to have completely collapsed, just like Ah Xue before, bursting into tears.

My mind cleared instantly, and I immediately understood her intention. Logically, she should have realized that we, struggling even to protect ourselves, had no chance of safely taking these embryos away. So, rather than letting these children be cursed, turning into corrupted, evil beings, destined to be refined into beast demons from birth, it was better for us, as fellow Winged Race members, to personally liberate them… And this was precisely the request Katrina had made of me.

The crawling of snakes outside grew closer, while the two women inside and outside the blood pool wailed loudly. My mind was in turmoil.

Indeed, given the reality, we had no other choice. But since humans possess intelligence and the ability to think, shouldn't we strive to improve the situation even in the worst circumstances?

(That's it! Perhaps…)

I snatched the stone from Yu Hong's hand, forcefully smashing several Winged Race embryos, mixing them with the others, breaking them as much as possible. Then, I gathered the remaining embryos, divided them into several batches, and submerged them all in the blood pool.

If all goes well, ninety percent of the embryos can escape this calamity. Although this clumsy illusion isn't guaranteed to work, at least we tried.

After doing all this, the crawling of snakes outside was clearly audible. I grabbed Yu Hong, who was crying uncontrollably, and, wielding the Hyakki Maru, rushed down the stairs.

Luckily, we only encountered a few large pythons, not the intelligent snake woman. Yu Hong, now slightly more lucid, channeled all her anger into the pythons. With her attacking and me assisting with my divine weapon, we quickly dispatched the pythons one by one. Staying

as far away from the Red Mansion as possible is advantageous for us. I haven't figured out how to break the chains yet. The Hyakki Maru is a divine weapon originating from the Cihang Jingdian Palace, and is itself a magical artifact. However, due to my insufficient power, it only possesses sharpness in my hands, lacking supernatural abilities. If it were wielded by another skilled sorcerer or martial artist, it should be able to break the chain's curse with the sword's spiritual power.

Unable to think of a solution, Yu Hong and I continued our escape, trying to return to our original hiding place in the underground chamber. It wasn't safe there, but in the rush, I couldn't think of anywhere else.

Our escape was quickly forced to a halt when a swarm of snakes discovered us and gave chase, hissing and summoning reinforcements.

We were soon surrounded by the snakes, and several snake women approached from afar, but I couldn't see Natasha, Yalanja, or any of the other snake clan leaders. I wondered what they were doing.

(Could it be…)

Although I was just a third-rate, mediocre mage, when I concentrated, I could still sense some magical fluctuations coming from the west. I deliberately rushed in that direction, straining my eyes, and vaguely saw a gigantic object, about ten feet tall, enormous in size, somewhat resembling a giant stone statue, but the Feathered Clan shouldn't have such a thing.

(What kind of magic is this? How strange…)

There was no time to see clearly; we were already engaged in combat with the attacking snakes. While Hyakkimaru was sharp, cutting snakes like vegetables, even he couldn't hold back against the dense swarm. Yu Hong was even worse off, completely lacking the ferocity she displayed earlier in her battles. Surrounded by two giant pythons and a snake woman, she was in dire straits.

“Damn it, you bitch, where did your skills go? Do you really want to die here?”

A curse escaped my lips, and I could only manage a bitter smile. Wasn't I the one who weakened Yu Hong, leaving her helpless and in this predicament? What could I say besides blaming myself for my own self-inflicted wound?

The result, though unwilling, was that I bore the brunt of the enemy's attacks. If my Beast King Fist power hadn't been lost, I could have fought back, but now all I could think about was escaping.

The swarm of snakes grew increasingly dense. In the heat of battle, Yu Hong was caught off guard when a venomous snake coiled up and bit her leg. Staggering, the snake woman seized the opportunity, her tail sweeping across and sending Yu Hong flying.

"Ahhh!" she screamed, but before she could land, the snake's tail coiled around her, tightening its grip.

The situation changed too quickly; I couldn't intervene in time. Seeing blood trickling from Yu Hong's mouth, as if her internal organs were rupturing from the snake's tight grip, I didn't hesitate and threw the Hyakkimaru sword.

Blood splattered, and the aimless throw struck a giant python beside her, but it tore a gaping hole in the snake woman's throat. A dark shadow suddenly darted out, nimbly pouncing on her at that critical moment and biting through her throat.

The snake woman let out a mournful howl, convulsing as she died. I rushed over, drew my sword, and slashed at her snake tail, pulling the nearly unconscious Yu Hong back to safety.

The "benefactor" who had just bitten the snake woman's throat and helped me so much, coordinated with my movements, spewing brilliant flames that turned the snakes on the ground into rolling fireballs. Then it turned its head and glared at me fiercely. I looked at it, unable to understand why this companion who had fought alongside Ah Xue for days in guerrilla warfare was here.

"Violet..."

Chapter Five: Using the Same Old Tactics

For some time, Violet and Ah Xue had been fighting guerrilla warfare together in the city, causing chaos among the snake tribe. Later, Ah Xue was captured, but Violet escaped and disappeared, infuriating the snake tribe. During this time, this psychic dragon-leopard had been hiding in the city, lying in wait. When it saw Yu Hong and me in danger, it rushed out and bit the snake woman to death, breathed fire to drive away the snakes, and led us away to safety before the other snake women arrived.

The hiding place was in the collapsed and ruined Jade Pavilion. The crumbling ruins were partially obscured by fragments of earth and stone, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. However, a small gap allowed a glimpse outwards. Looking around, the semi-rotten food, relatively clean water, and not-too-crowded space made it an ideal hiding place.

Looking out, I saw the Serpent Clan carrying something—large boxes, one after another—hurriedly moving westwards. Among the workers were even shackled slaves from other races, indicating the Serpent Clan's urgency.

"Strange, outsiders have entered the Serpent Clan's territory? What's going on?"

Although the Serpent Clan was currently short-handed due to the search for intruders and the performance of magical rituals, this scene still raised many questions.

(Could it be that they knew the three races were about to take action and were preparing to retreat...?)

I thought to myself, but couldn't find anyone to discuss it with. After Violet led us to this shelter, she arrogantly walked away from the other side, completely ignoring us, and disappeared without a trace. As for Yu Hong, exhausted both physically and mentally, she collapsed on the ground after being brought here, unable to get up again.

Neither of us can be considered combatants. My Beast King Fist suddenly malfunctioned, making me unsuitable for head-on combat, and Yu Hong is still bound by the insect body… and according to my estimation, even if the insect body is removed, she probably only has level three strength left, about the same as me, only having the advantage of techniques and the Beast Demon.

Now, it seems the only thing we can do is wait for things to get chaotic in Loucheng. But the situation seems to be developing beyond our control; it might even turn into the Serpent Clan launching a preemptive strike. Moreover, if we are discovered before the battle breaks out… I don't want to become raw material to replenish the Blood Pool.

(Damn it, that bitch Phoenix, there must be something wrong with the freebie she gave me, otherwise why would the Beastmaster Fist suddenly disappear?)

Speaking of freebies, I suddenly remembered the "Willful Hand Jar" she gave me. This thing had come in handy twice before, could it conjure something good to turn things around now?

I took the jar out of my pocket, closed my eyes, shook the jar while praying, and also cursed that cunning female demon Phoenix. After a short while, the empty jar suddenly made a crisp sound, and something appeared.

I shook the jar vigorously, trying to get the contents out, and to my astonishment, a small wooden box larger than the jar's opening emerged.

How did this thing get through the jar's opening? I was extremely puzzled, but since it was a matter of the demon's technology and not mine, I didn't bother thinking about it.

However, even in the dim light, the little box looked increasingly familiar. With a suspicious heart, I reached into my pocket and almost cursed aloud, because this little box had been kept close to my body just moments before—the very thing I had retrieved from the crystal during my nighttime raid on the Feather Clan's secret cave. Phoenix had used this as a gift, a clever and efficient scheme.

(You filthy bitch, trying to fool me with this kind of trick?)

I cursed inwardly as I bent down to pick up the box, but to my surprise, the wooden box, which I had previously been unable to open no matter how hard I tried, opened with a "click." In the dim light, inside was a thumb-sized, blood-red, rhomboid gemstone.

(What was that female demon trying to imply? Could this stone really help me?)

With doubt in my mind, I examined the stone closely. It wasn't an ordinary ruby. When I held it in my palm, besides feeling a distinct warmth, I also sensed a magical fluctuation, slowly rippled through the air.

Was it some kind of high-performance, high-quality magic stone? However, while high-quality magic stones could concentrate and even multiply the energy they passed through, it was all auxiliary. They only worked when set into a powerful artifact; they themselves had no offensive power. The only artifact I had was Hyakkimaru. Did I have to set the gem in it, so that the greatly enhanced sword could cut the chains and rescue Yuki?

A good idea, but I'd have to rush down the mountain, perhaps even out of Youli, all the way to the southern border, to find a workshop with sufficient technology to complete this weapon modification that required considerable forging and magical skill. Right now, this method was far too slow.

(Damn it... what a terrible idea...)

Gripping the gem tightly, I considered many possibilities. Perhaps I was going in the wrong direction, because this gem gave me a sense of déjà vu. I had seen something similar before, but I couldn't remember where... Was it in a magic item shop? Or at an exhibition at the Alibuda Magic Academy?

But at least the box was opened, so it wasn't a complete loss...

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard a soft, rapid breathing beside me. Turning my head, I saw Yu Hong hugging her calf, curled up in a corner, sweat pouring down

her forehead, seemingly in considerable pain. I immediately remembered that she had been bitten by a snake during the battle and hadn't received any treatment, so it was probably a problem now. Without further ado, I rushed over, ignoring her struggles, grabbed her ankle, and lifted her delicate, smooth calf.

Yu Hong was only wearing the cloak Bai Lanxiong had given her. With my forceful grip on her ankle, her posture was extremely awkward. Not only were her two round, pert buttocks exposed, but between her forced-open legs, her delicate lips still glistened with half-dried dew, incredibly sexy and alluring.

"You..."

"Stop talking nonsense. You know your relationship and the situation. Unless you beg me, I won't touch you."

Making this assurance, I took out a small knife, first making a cross on the already blackened wound, then reluctantly sucking out the venom from her pink leg. Travelers in the Southern Barbarian lands always carry some life-saving herbs, including magical potions specifically for snake venom. I applied the medicine to Yu Hong, and thankfully, her internal energy was quite good; she had been circulating her energy to resist the poison. Otherwise, with such a long delay, her leg would have been ruined long ago.

The entire process was eerily silent. Since Yu Hong was willing to cooperate and didn't take the opportunity to kick me in the face, I didn't use the chance of her legs being spread to stick my fingers into that pink, tender flesh and stir them around. But perhaps because it was too dull, I couldn't help but speak up.

"Actually, I really don't understand you. The child wasn't born by you, the egg wasn't laid by you, is it necessary to make such a sacrifice?"

"You don't understand because you don't understand love, so you won't sacrifice for what you love, you can only use despicable means to plunder..."

It had been a while since I'd heard her speak in such a forceful tone. I glanced at her, to see what other criticisms she had to offer. Yu Hong seemed to be avoiding a confrontation with me, turning her gaze away and changing the subject.

"Even if I don't understand, how are you, a rich young lady, any better than me?" I said. "If you weren't born into a prestigious family, had a first-rate master, and had the Palace of Light as your backer, would you be so naive as to play the game of justice? You must regret it now, right? If you hadn't come to the Southern Barbarians to be a messenger of justice, you stupid little girl could still be having a lesbian relationship with your sister all day long!"

I knew these words were very vicious, so after saying them in one breath, I immediately took two steps back to guard against Yu Hong turning her shame and anger into action.

But Yu Hong didn't get angry as I expected. She simply placed her hands on her knees, as if deep in thought. After a long while, she sighed softly and said, "Foolish? Perhaps so..." "

Huh?" "

I... don't like saying things like this all the time. Do you think my sister and I don't know? You always laugh at us behind our backs, treating us like two brainless, stupid girls. Even Senior Brother Fang... although he didn't say it out loud, he must have seen us as some kind of martyr. I know the look in his eyes." She

started by sobbing, but by the end, Yu Hong burst into tears, saying, "But there's nothing we can do. If we can't even believe that justice will ultimately prevail, then we don't know what to believe in to live on..."

With this sentence as a starting point, I touched upon a part of Yu Hong's heart that had always been unknown to others. It was the deepest side hidden beneath her spoiled, girlish exterior, and it made me understand why there had been so much discord in her behavior these past few days. Why does her strength and resilience repeatedly exceed my expectations? And why does she always break down and succumb for reasons that surprise me?

"Senior Brother Fang said that there isn't a single instructor named Blue Eagle in the Kingdom of Alibuda, so you're not some kind of officer. But judging from your words, you must be an educated nobleman, right?"

"Hmm...yes, aren't you?" Education isn't a universal right. Apart from nobles, only commoners with a certain level of wealth can afford high tuition fees; this is true in every country.

"No...not at the beginning. After Phoenix Island disappeared and the Feather Clan disintegrated, no one in the clan has had a good life, and my sister and I are no exception."

"My sister and I never saw our parents after we were born, and we still don't know who they were... Perhaps they were killed somewhere long ago. My sister and I were raised by a group of elders from the Feathered Tribe. They found a bamboo basket left at the door containing my sister and me, along with a note from our mother... Back then, these kinds of things happened a lot. Because they became targets, they entrusted their children to their tribesmen deep in the mountains, then became bait themselves, sacrificing themselves so that their daughters could grow up safely under the protection of their own people."

As if immersed in memories, Yu Hong's words... With a sob in her voice, she said softly, "My sister and I weren't the first pair adopted there, nor will we be the last. Until we were two years old, there were dozens of little sisters there. We didn't have much time to play because we had to hide from being tracked. Almost every few days, we had to secretly escape into the mountains, otherwise the beastmen would find us. Whenever we couldn't escape, one of our kind would sacrifice themselves, taking a little sister chosen by lottery as bait to lure the enemy away."

Recalling Katrina's self-sacrifice to protect Yu Hong, I could easily imagine the situation at that time.

"So-called life is just a constant escape, hiding, sacrifice, and then another escape... My sister and I secretly swore that when we grew up, we would only chase others and never be chased again. Back then, we were terrified every time we had to draw lots, but no one ever ran away, because sacrificing ourselves for the continuation of the group was a glorious thing. We never lost hope either. Our elders always said that good will always prevail over evil, and one day, we would see justice and righteousness prevail again in the Southern Barbarian lands, that evil would be punished as it deserved, and that the Feathered Clan would be reborn in the light."

Yu Hong said, "You think it's silly, right? That's what we thought back then. That kind of nonsense that even a child couldn't believe... Who would believe it? If the gods and justice could really prevail and the Feathered Clan could be reborn in the light, then why didn't they just let the Feathered Clan live in peace from the beginning? Mother wouldn't have separated from us, and we wouldn't have nightmares every time we drew lots. Even now, every morning when I wake up, I'm still afraid that I'll become a prisoner of the beastmen as soon as I open my eyes..."

I was speechless. At that moment, I had absolutely no idea what to say. Perhaps… this girl didn’t need me to say anything; she just didn’t want to leave a bad impression on people until her death.

“But what good is disbelief? Later on, we earnestly prayed like that, because… if we can’t even believe in the dream that good will prevail over evil and that justice will ultimately triumph, then where can we find hope? What reason can we use to tell ourselves why we should continue living?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, and the girl’s seemingly calm narration contained countless pains. From her increasingly clenched fingers, I could feel her desperate attempt to suppress her emotions.

“What can’t be escaped will eventually be escaped. When I was two years old, I drew a lot and was chosen to go out as bait. My sister didn’t want to be separated from me, so she left with me. Not long after, we were captured by orcs… We were both terrified. But we were really lucky because just as the orcs were handing us over to the slave traders, our master happened to pass by, rescued my sister and me, took us as his disciples, taught us martial arts, and gave us a new life in the human world.”

Yu Hong took a breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and said, “Our master wanted us to forget our unhappy childhood, and my sister and I have always wanted to forget.” I remember, but the more I try to forget, the more I can't. Finally, my sister and I decided to uphold justice and apprehend the criminals. I don't believe in this story, but there must be people in this world, there must be children who hope that justice will come tomorrow and reverse today's nightmare. Although my sister and I aren't fortunate enough to have such a dream, at least we can help other children fulfill their dreams and let them sleep soundly.

Knowing full well that what she believes is ridiculous, yet repeating lies she herself doesn't believe, living like this—what kind of life is that? What kind of girl is she?

This shouldn't be a problem for me, but…

“Our Feather Clan seems to be endlessly repeating the same lives, constantly sacrificing the lives of the previous generation for the next. Everyone places their hopes on the future, surviving by devouring the lives of their mothers and clansmen. But why doesn't everyone think about those left behind before sacrificing themselves? Why didn't Mother and Aunt Katrina ask me before they sacrificed themselves? I'd rather be captured with them than be rescued alone and survive all alone. I used to hate this practice the most, and before coming here I swore to my sister that I would never let anyone be sacrificed like this again…”

The girl's crystal tears traced heartbreaking marks on her pale cheeks. Exposing these unhealed wounds, she must be very sad, but why… do I seem to see her smiling?

"Ha... But none of that matters anymore. Returning to Youli to help my people was my own choice. What was destined to happen will happen. Even after running away for over a decade, it's still the same. Evil cannot prevail over good, nor can it overcome the law of the jungle. Those who overestimated themselves received their just deserts. They couldn't protect their people, nor could they protect themselves. My soul, my dreams... they're all tainted and rotten. My body has become like this, never to be the same again. While I'm still useful and have value to be sacrificed, I'll use them however I want."

The girl smiled and looked at me, and I found myself unconsciously wanting to avoid her gaze.

"Heh, maybe I should chuckle with gratitude. Losing my virginity to a human is at least luckier than to an orc. Humans aren't so crude, and they're quite skilled, so I actually had a really enjoyable time. And you? What does it feel like to rape a girl? Was it enjoyable? I bet you enjoyed it a lot, right? Because every time you pinned me down and did it to me, you laughed so happily..."

"Enough!" I should have been the one to assert my dominance and yell back, but instead, I was at a disadvantage amidst the girl's mocking laughter. I've faced many accusations in the past, but I've never seen such an unbearable smile.

"Why do you have to shut up? Even a night of marriage is a hundred days of kindness. We've slept together so many nights, and I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet... Haha, I don't even know your name! You know what? Every night when I wake up from a nightmare, what I fear most is seeing an orc next to me. But... it's really funny. I've prayed so hard, why do I still wake up to find you, this beast, sleeping next to me?"

"Stop talking..."

"It's so strange. I prayed earnestly every day, hoping you would choke to death, fall to your death, be torn to pieces by the orcs, and die with them... Why, why don't you die? Why do you keep appearing next to me? And... why do I have to be rescued by you? I'd rather die among those orcs, just to see you torn to pieces too..."

After saying these words in a dreamlike voice, the girl's suppressed tears burst forth, and she covered her face with her hands, wailing loudly.

A mournful sob, through the hand covering her mouth, echoed softly in my ears. I unconsciously walked slowly towards Yu Hong, my feelings a complex mix.

The law of the jungle was a principle I believed in; because of my cunning and opportunistic nature, this girl's virginity and body were my deserved spoils, and I felt no guilt. Yet, looking at Yu Hong's tears, I suddenly felt a strong urge to wipe them away…

I acted on that thought.

"I'm sorry…" I didn't truly mean it, but at that moment, I couldn't find any other words. At least, "I'm sorry" was more appropriate than "I love you," right?

"Wow!" A quick wipe, a few gentle pats—the seemingly impossible happened. The girl buried her face in my chest, crying uncontrollably, her tears quickly soaking my clothes. When her cloak slipped down, revealing her alluring, sexy body, I felt no lust, only the gentle patting of her bare back like a kitten.

Regardless of who hates whom, or who wants whom dead, we are currently just two people who need to support each other, nothing more.

"Please, please help me save those children. Save one more member of our tribe, one more child, or even just one more egg. I can't let so many of my compatriots sacrifice themselves like this. If the Feathered Clan is finished, then everything we've done in the past will have been meaningless."

Yu Hong, tears streaming down her face, swallowed her pride and pleaded with me, her enemy. But this request wasn't for jewels or cosmetics. The undeniable fact was that we were just two weak beings, unable to fight the Snake Clan, and powerless to save anyone from the Beastmen.

"I'm sorry, but we really can't do it right now..."

"No, you must have a way. At least, you can help me undo the insect body. Although my power has weakened a lot, as long as I undo the insect body, I can still do something. You created the insect body, so you must have a way to undo it."

I wanted to make amends to Yu Hong and really hoped to do something for her. However, the insect body came from Phoenix, and unless a master of divination or a martial artist with sixth-level cultivation could undo it, it was impossible to undo it.

Seeing my hesitant silence, Yu Hong assumed I was deliberately making excuses and pleaded even more humbly, taking my hand and placing it on her soft, firm breasts.

"I swear a solemn oath that if you help me untangle the worm's body, I will absolutely not harm you, nor will I seek revenge. You really want to save your female disciple, don't you? If you untangle my worm body, I can help you save her. And, if you're willing to untangle the worm body and help me save her, this body of mine... from now on, you can do whatever you want with it, please..."

The girl's pleas troubled me, various thoughts racing through my mind, yet I couldn't come up with a feasible solution. Even if I summoned Phoenix, I wasn't willing to be extorted for a wish by her to untangle the worm's body, but the rest...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind. Perhaps this was a hint from the witch; I knew what that ruby was.

I pushed Yu Hong away, took out the crimson rhombus-shaped gem, and examined it closely. After recalling and comparing, this gemstone from the Feather Clan's secret cave was strikingly similar to something I remembered.

Similar hardness, similar warmth, similar color, similar magical fluctuations…

"If this really is the Dragon's Soul, then perhaps we can…"

"I must say it again, we're in this together now, and I genuinely want to help you, but this method is extremely dangerous. If we make a mistake, you'll lose everything, with no chance of recovery, and you'll die. Are you really willing to gamble this?"

Unwilling to take unnecessary risks, I carefully explained my concerns to Yu Hong.

This rhombus-shaped ruby, I didn't know its actual origin or purpose, but judging from its shape and feel, it closely resembled the Dragon's Soul from a dragon's brain. The Dragon's Soul, a polymer containing the essence of a giant dragon, is a priceless treasure. Combined with a unique spell, I once implanted the Dragon's Soul of a Water-Fire Demon Flood Dragon into my beloved concubine, Zhizhi Lonia, causing her magical power to surge overnight, transforming her into a Water-Fire Dragon Warrior. Yu Hong

's martial arts skills far surpass Zhizhi's. If this ruby truly is the Dragon's Soul, after being infused into her body through magic, the surge in power might allow her to break free from the insect's shackles. However, this alluring possibility clashes with too many realities. First, I'm completely unsure about this gem. What if it's not the Dragon's Soul? Wouldn't recklessly casting spells be asking for trouble?

Even if it truly is the Dragon's Soul, the troublesome problems have only just begun. The implantation of the Dragon's Soul requires the use of the Lustful God Spell from the Lustful Magic Book. The main catalyst for this spell is the celestial blood taken from A Xue. I've always kept some on me as a precaution, and I still have some on hand, so it's not a problem.

However, the Dragon Soul is something that compresses the essence and energy of an entire dragon into a small pebble. If it's not sealed with a Dragon-Sealing Seal beforehand, along with other items to suppress it, the host will be subjected to extreme heat the moment the energy is released, resulting in an instant and gruesome death.

The Dragon-Sealing Seal I applied to the Water-Fire Demon Dragon's Soul was cast by Nalivia's monks; I myself don't possess such a high level of skill, and naturally, I couldn't apply a Dragon-Sealing Seal to this nameless ruby. Furthermore, we lack at least forty other auxiliary herbs, ores, and animal parts. In our haste, we also couldn't coordinate with the timing and circumstances. To cast the spell so recklessly is practically suicide. Even if we forcibly fuse them successfully and our power increases significantly, we might not last more than a few hours before exploding and dying a gruesome death.

After much deliberation, I was extremely unwilling and told Yu Hong that I didn't want to take the risk.

“You don’t need to think too much. Even if there are any problems, you won’t be the one to sacrifice yourself,” Yu Hong said. “Even if you only have a few hours of power, that’s enough. As long as I help you rescue Sister Xue, you won’t suffer any losses, right? As for the rest… what happens to my life and my body is my own business.”

Yu Hong started calling Xue “sister” again. Xue’s sacrifices and tears for those children had fully proven her innocence and earned Yu Hong’s respect again.

I found it hard to refute Yu Hong’s words. It was obvious that she was in a state of self-abandonment. However, the purpose of this kind of magic was to drastically shorten lifespan in exchange for greater power. When she herself had such a plan, I didn’t know what to say. Besides, I did need a skilled person to help me defeat the enemy and rescue people.

Yu Hong said, “If you want to help me with anything, use this method. I will bear any danger myself.”

“I understand. Then let’s give it a shot.”

I reluctantly began to prepare to cast the spell. Things were fraught with difficulties from the very beginning; even drawing the magic circle proved technically challenging. This wasn't a shrine, nor was it a spacious place; it was just a half-ruined room, not exactly cramped, but not spacious enough to draw a magic circle either. Usually, magic circles are drawn with blood or ink, but I had neither on hand.

Finally, looking at the hastily drawn magic circle on the ground with the wooden stick, the runes almost all crammed together, blurry and indistinct, my palms were sweating profusely, and I almost wanted to ask to give up.

(This method actually succeeds? Then there's nothing unreasonable in the world…)

I wanted to persuade Yu Hong again, but her expression was resolute. She had no hope that the spell would succeed this time; instead, she awaited the worst possible outcome. Even if she could only recover power for a few hours, that would be enough for her. Even if she didn't recover even that, she had no will to live and planned to end it all.

After I finished drawing the magic circle, Yu Hong followed my instructions, took a few deep breaths to regulate her breathing, and then lay down in the center of the magic circle. I placed the ruby into her warm vulva and pushed it in slightly with my fingers.

Her sensitive body still retained the lingering warmth of the pleasure she had just experienced. As the foreign object entered her jade valley, my fingers teased her clitoris, and her nectar quickly moistened the walls of her flesh, allowing the ruby to slide slowly in along the mucus.

Lying in the center of the magic circle, Yu Hong closed her eyes, and her beautiful legs, bent and stretched out, slowly parted in front of me, revealing her beautiful pink flower.

"I'm ready, you... come on up."
