After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 181 The Current Saintess

In Chu Xinyao's room, light shone through the half-open window onto the wooden table in front of her, making her appear exceptionally gentle.

She held a stone cup in her hand, half-filled with warm tea, which Yu Paopao had just poured for her, so that she could slowly savor it during her afternoon rest.

Then, the moment she heard the news, her body felt as if it had been struck by an invisible force, all her attention was drawn away, and her fingers unconsciously loosened their grip.

With a loud "bang," the stone cup slammed heavily onto the ground, making a dull thud. The tea inside splashed everywhere, like a flower suddenly blooming, only to vanish instantly on the cold ground.

Chu Xinyao's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't make a sound. Her eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to swallow the air in front of her.

Her brows furrowed, as if she was trying to process the news but couldn't accept it at all.

His gaze wandered around the room, as if searching for something to lean on, yet he couldn't grasp anything.

Her throat tightened, her chest heaved violently, her fingers curled slightly, and her nails left shallow marks on her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

Chu Xinyao's mind was in complete chaos. How could this be?

Who leaked it? It couldn't be one of their people, so it must be...

Her gaze fell once more on the shards of the stone cup on the ground, the fragments reflecting blinding rays of sunlight as if mocking her bewildered state.

Her shock stemmed not only from the news itself, but also from her complete lack of knowledge on how to respond.

The Holy Maiden is the hope of all tribes across the continent, and the target of all eighth-tier powerhouses and fallen beasts.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shiver, as if a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight up to the top of her head.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

She felt her legs go weak and she could barely stand. She wanted to sit down, but she didn't dare, as if sitting down would make the news even more real and inescapable.

Just as she was about to be devastated by the news, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

“Yao,” She Mo rushed forward and grabbed Chu Xinyao, who was about to fall, “Don’t be afraid. Have you forgotten? We will always be by your side.”

He reached out and stroked Chu Xinyao's slightly cold arm for a moment, then pulled her to sit down.

His hands were warm and strong, each rub seeming to soothe her panicked heart. His gaze never left Chu Xinyao's face, as if silently conveying his warmth.

[Ah, ah, that little brat, I'm going to kill him!]

Chu Xinyao sat in the chair, leaning slightly forward, her hands gripping the armrests tightly. Her fingers trembled, her nails almost digging into the wood.

Her eyes were dazed, but she seemed less panicked. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Mo, what... what exactly happened? How could it have been leaked so suddenly?" Chu Xinyao finally spoke, her voice still trembling slightly, but no longer as panicked as before. She looked up, her eyes filled with expectation, as if hoping he would tell her that it wasn't true.

Snake Ink sat beside her, his eyes flashing with helplessness and worry. "Yao, I know this news is sudden for you, and we don't know why this happened either. But Tiger Roar and I have come up with a plan," he said calmly, trying to convey his composure to Chu Xinyao. "We'll leave here tonight and go back to the Yao Tribe Alliance."

Chu Xinyao frowned slightly, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Go back?"

Shemo nodded. "Yes, the Yao Tribe Alliance is our strongest backing. There, we have enough power and resources to protect you. Moreover, after returning to the alliance, we can better investigate the source of this information and find out who is plotting against us."

"But how do we get back?" she asked in a low voice, biting her lip. This place was too far from the Yao Tribe Alliance.

"Don't worry, we have a plan." Shemo touched Chu Xinyao's face and smiled. "Yao, don't worry, no matter what happens, we will be by your side."

"Yes, little female, and me too. I will always be by your side."

"Mo, Paopao, thank you," Chu Xinyao said softly. Their companionship gave her a lot of courage and made her less afraid.

"We'll set off tonight, Yao, you should get ready!"

"Okay." Chu Xinyao agreed, her gaze sweeping across the room as she silently packed the things she needed to take with her.

Fortunately, they had only been in the Holy City for a few days, and many things hadn't been taken out yet. Looking at the supplies they needed to bring, she breathed a sigh of relief; her spatial storage was finally coming in handy.

......

That night, a light drizzle fell like silk threads, gently tapping on the window and making a soft sound. The raindrops intertwined in the night sky, as if draping the whole world in a thin veil of mist.

The autumn wind carries a chill, rustling the branches.

Chu Xinyao stood by the window, gazing at the rain outside, her heart filled with complex emotions. Rainwater slid down the windowpane like countless transparent threads.

His gaze pierced through the rain, his brow furrowed, and a sense of unease settled in his heart.

Just then, Long Tingting's voice, which had been quiet for a long time, rang in her mind.

[I'm sorry, I didn't know Long Yuan would act this way.]

Her voice was filled with apology, striking straight to Chu Xinyao's heart.

Chu Xinyao remained silent for a moment, her eyes darkening slightly, as if tinged with a profound hue by the night. She took a deep breath and replied calmly.

I roughly know what he wants to do.

[? ]

"[He...]" Chu Xinyao slightly raised her eyelids, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, and sighed.

[He just wants to gain points quickly so he can give you a physical body.]

Long Tingting was slightly taken aback, then frowned and pondered.

She tried to understand Chu Xinyao's words and figure out Long Yuan's true intentions.

What exactly is Long Yuan trying to do?

[When I mentioned this to him before, he intended for me to have more children, rather than focusing my attention on producing fertility pills.]

Long Tingting was even more puzzled, and shock flashed in her eyes. What was Long Yuan trying to do?

[Why?] After thinking for a moment, she still couldn't figure it out.

Chu Xinyao shrugged. Who cares what he thinks! She'll have the baby according to her own feelings.

[Sister Ting, let's ignore him. What he does is none of our business. He'll be leaving soon anyway. If we can't afford to mess with him, can't we just avoid him?]

[Yes, I know, but I just feel that it's all because of me that you've suffered...]

"[Sister Ting!]" Chu Xinyao quickly interrupted her, "[You can't say that between us. How could this be your fault? Long Yuan's ambition is his own problem; we can't control it. Besides, we're not without ways to deal with it. With the support of my beast husband and the Yao Tribe Alliance, we won't be controlled by him.]"

Upon hearing this, Long Tingting laughed.

[You're right, we shouldn't let his actions control us; we should live life our own way.]

That's right!
