CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 183: THE FEMALE’S BATTLE_1

How could I possibly forget. In Myriad Beasts City, for over twenty years, the unceasing abuse. It gave her PTSD. It made her fear her own cubs, made her hurt Xi Qing.

"Which tribal wild female are you, and what are you doing here in Myriad Beasts City?!" Bao Lin glared with hostility.

Dark Saint, the male she had set her sights on, hoping he would become her Zheng Xiong, had his gaze fixed on that female the entire time! So what if she looks a bit better? What else does that female have that could possibly compare to me!! And that Purple Crystal Beastman snake on her back. She actually has a Purple Crystal Beastman as a Beast Husband!! Why does *she* get to have one!!

The snake Beastman on Si Yan’s back slightly lifted his eyes, his cold gaze falling upon the Kylin female before him.

The male’s lethal gaze made Bao Lin flinch inwardly.

But she quickly composed herself. What did she have to fear? She was the esteemed Lady Kylin of Myriad Beasts City! Why is this female before me so detestable? And why has she captured all of the Black Dragon’s attention? This feeling of disgust... it’s exactly like how I feel about my second sister. So hateful! Why do others always get all the good things! No matter what, I must maintain my composure for now. Once I secure Dark Saint, I can properly teach that Black Dragon a lesson and vent all my anger!

Si Yan quickly composed herself, revealing no flaws as she said, "You must be Lady Kylin of Myriad Beasts City. I am the Lady of the Lord from the Delusional Domain. My name is Si Yan."

Si Yan? Why that name? It sounds just like my second sister’s name—both are awful! Females with names that sound like that are always particularly detestable!

Dark Saint glanced at Bao Lin.

So, she isn’t the Second Miss; she’s the Eldest Miss. Then is this female before me the Second Miss of Myriad Beasts City? Why do they act as if they don’t know each other?

A flicker of interest sparked in Dark Saint’s usually unperturbed heart.

Si Yan slowly turned her head. "Yes. I’m here to participate in the Wan Cheng Gathering."

Participate in the Wan Cheng Gathering, and incidentally, exact revenge for past grievances! For all the insults and wrongs I’ve suffered, I will repay them tenfold!

Bao Lin scoffed. "I know of the Delusional Domain. A remote, backward place, full of selfish and savage cold-blooded snake Beastmen!"

Bao Lin added sarcastically, "Why would Myriad Beasts City ever allow a group of cold, cunning, cold-blooded snake Beastmen to participate in the Wan Cheng Gathering?"

Si Yan replied calmly, "I heard that Myriad Beasts City is the ’City of Myriad Beasts.’ It’s said to be the most inclusive city, welcoming all beasts. Is that not so? Why does what Lady Kylin says differ from what we’ve heard?"

Si Yan’s demeanor was composed. The purple snake draped over her shoulders only added to her aura, making her seem even more fiendishly charming and terrifyingly powerful.

"I was never aware that Myriad Beasts City, while accepting all manner of beasts, excludes snake Beastmen. This is something I believe I’ll have to ask Lord Xue Lin about. Also," Si Yan produced a wooden token, turning it towards Bao Lin with a slight smile. "Please don’t misunderstand, Lady Kylin. We from the Delusional Domain received an invitation from Myriad Beasts City. We entered openly and honorably."

Her words left Bao Lin speechless.

Si Yan continued, "Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be on my way."

Si Yan had only taken a few steps when Bao Lin roared, "Stop! Stand right there!"

Si Yan stopped. She turned, regarded Bao Lin with indifference, and smiled again. "What is it, Lady Kylin?"

Suddenly, a long whip flashed in Bao Lin’s hand, and she lashed it out towards Si Yan!

"Ugly female! Vile female who associates with snake Beastmen!"

Si Yan leaped back a considerable distance.

"Can’t win an argument, so you’re resorting to violence?"

The cold-blooded snake Beastman on Si Yan released a potent killing intent.

Bao Lin felt a flicker of fear from the snake Beastman’s murderous aura. But then she remembered she was a female, and the esteemed Lady of Myriad Beasts City, so her fear lessened.

"I see," Si Yan remarked. "So you want to fight."

Si Yan turned her head to Wang Dao. "Great Demon King, endure it for a moment. I’m going to fight. I’ll be back quickly."

The snake Beastman was taken aback. She was going to fight by herself? She was pregnant, yet she intended to fight personally? He suddenly felt a pang of regret for feigning injury. Still, that female opposite her couldn’t possibly be Si Yan’s match.

Si Yan set Wang Dao down. The snake Beastman coiled into a sulky heap, feeling even more dejected.

Si Yan patted his head soothingly, then stood up and slowly turned back.

"May I ask why Lady Kylin wants to fight me?"

Bao Lin declared haughtily, "I just don’t like the look of you. Do I need any other reason?"

"I see," Si Yan replied.

Si Yan walked forward calmly. "So, just because you don’t like the look of me, you think you can bully me? You want to fight me, even though I’ve done nothing to offend you."

"Si Yan! Don’t be so arrogant! Even if you have a snake Beastman as a Beast Husband, it doesn’t mean you’ve managed to connect to his power. Unlike me—I can borrow the strength of several of my Beast Husbands!"

Si Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "That’s good. How about I let you attack first?"

Not far away, Dark Saint watched the two females prepare to battle.

In the Beast World, males gain strength through cultivation, while females gain strength by contracting with males. However, after contracting with a male, it wasn’t just about the male becoming hers. It also depended on whether the female possessed the talent to connect with the male’s strength and use it as her own. This involved the female’s innate talent. A female’s talent was also a crucial factor for males when considering if she was a suitable mate.

Dark Saint, his expression unreadable and brows furrowed, watched the unfolding confrontation between the females. He was a Black Dragon, naturally exuding a cool aura, which seemed even colder at this moment.

"You’ll let me go first?" Bao Lin scoffed. "Since you’re so arrogant, I won’t be polite!"

Bao Lin dashed forward, her steps swift!

The Black Dragon’s eyebrow twitched as he watched.

That must be a leopard Beastman’s power. She seems to have borrowed her male’s strength. Judging by this speed, she’s accessed over fifty percent of it.

Bao Lin quickly flashed in front of Si Yan, her hand lashing out for a slap.

But Si Yan’s body instantly dodged, and she countered with a slap of her own!

PIA!

Bao Lin’s slap missed, but Si Yan’s slap landed firmly.

PIAPIAPIA!

After several consecutive slaps from Si Yan, Bao Lin stumbled back repeatedly, touching her stinging face. "You..."

Her face flushed crimson as Bao Lin exclaimed, "How dare you! Whose Beastman’s strength did you borrow?!"

Dark Saint was also shocked.

Bao Lin had borrowed the speed of a leopard Beastman, making her incredibly fast.

Yet, Si Yan seemed even faster!

Si Yan laughed, a sound both arrogant and calm.

Borrowed strength? What’s that? I don’t need to borrow anything. My own power is more than enough to deal with her!

"Lady Kylin, shall we continue?"

"Of course, we continue!" Bao Lin suddenly let out a lion’s roar. She then shot towards Si Yan, sharp claws, more formidable than those of ordinary beasts, sprouting from her hands!

She had managed to simultaneously borrow the Special Abilities of two of her Beast Husbands!

As long as the Black Dragon sees me defeat this female, he’ll definitely recognize my worth!

The Golden Crystal Beastman remarked with satisfaction, "Lady Bao Lin has borrowed the strength of the lion Beastman. Using the power of both the lion and leopard Beastman simultaneously... she has grown considerably."

Si Yan retorted, her voice cold and disdainful, "Is that all the strength you possess? What a letdown. Truly uninteresting."

Si Yan gently raised her hand. "Since you’re so eager to see, I’ll let you witness the strength *I’ve* borrowed!"
