“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
Seeing Aslan’s greed, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was a smart man and knew what to do. “Indeed, a few energy stones aren't worth much. I can consider giving you something else if you can tell me more information.” Yule patted Aslan’s shoulder, trying to gloss things over. “No problem. As long as the price is right, everything can be discussed. To tell you the truth, this woman is nothing worth mentioning. “She’s not as beautiful as in the portrait. On the contrary, she’s very ugly. At least for me, I’ve never seen such an ugly woman in my life, but she’s quite powerful. Don’t think you can mess with her just because she’s ugly.” Yule frowned at this unexpected situation. “Are you saying that she looks different than in the portrait? If that’s the case, why—” Yule was interrupted before he could finish his words. “Now that I’ve given you such important information, you need to pay me or I won’t be happy about it.” Aslan beckoned Yule, waiting fo
Foxy was having tea with Philip, smiling brightly as she did. “So, this is tea made by humans. It smells pretty good. I wonder what it tastes like.” Foxy swallowed the tea in one gulp. Since tea leaves were quite precious, Foxy knew that she was in for a treat. After drinking the tea, Foxy was shocked to find some changes in her body and felt that she had become stronger. At this time, Aslan rushed over anxiously, staring at Philip in disbelief. “Philip, guess what I just heard?” Aslan was very worried about this development. Philip was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Aslan to say this to him. “Well, since you didn’t guess it right, let me tell you. Someone is making inquiries about Foxy outside.” Philip and Foxy frowned, not expecting this turn of events. “What? What's going on? Tell me in detail. If someone is asking about Foxy, has she been exposed? How is that possible? We've been very cautious about it. How did this happen?” Philip was confused. They covered
“Hey buddy, you seem very troubled. Do you know something? Why don’t you tell me about it?” Yule asked curiously. “There’s no point in doing this. You can't find this woman even if you know anything about her.” Philip rolled his eyes. He had matched his testimony with Aslan before this, so he knew exactly what to say. Yule was very excited. He looked at Philip curiously, waiting to hear what he had to say. “This woman has been living in a remote place for a long time, and she’s very powerful. You’re no match for her. I saw her in the beast forest before and know she’s a force to be reckoned with because she almost killed me. Besides, this portrait is too bland. In reality, she has five eyes and looks very scary. “Forget it, I won’t say anymore. It freaks me out just talking about her.” Philip took the money and left, unwilling to stay a second longer. Seeing Philip’s hasty retreat, Yule felt that something was not normal. If this woman was so mysterious, why would so many
The other party quickly told them about the situation, and everyone was fascinated. Suddenly, a roar came from the side. “Arden!” Everyone jerked awake from their enthrallment. They were familiar with this voice and found it odd to hear it. “Did you hear a voice just now?” “I think so. Is it our boss’ voice?” “How is it possible? Are you drunk? Why would he appear in this place?” They knew that their boss was a gentleman and would never step into this place. At this time, the man named Arden was pulled out by his hair. “Ouch!” he screamed in pain, unable to react. More terrifyingly, the person doing it was his boss. He turned and glanced at Yule anxiously.“What’s up with the information you gave me? Why is it different from what I've been hearing? Everyone said there’s no beautiful woman in the forest, only a powerful but ugly woman!” Yule roared as he wrecked the place. Seeing this, the others ran for their lives. Arden was knocked to the ground and had no idea
“Hey buddy, I’m sorry to bother you.” Yule's attitude was quite nice. He approached Lyle and looked at him anxiously. Lyle was at a loss to see the guy at his feet. He had no idea why he encountered this mess when he was only here for a meal. “What’s up? I remember you, but the deal between us is over. Don’t try to rip me off,” Lyle exclaimed in mock horror. Yule quickly explained, “I’d like you to explain the whole situation to me again. I can consider giving you another sum of money if you can match the testimony with my man.” Hearing that, Lyle shook his head. He had no time to waste on them. “Forget it, your rough actions have ruined my appetite. I don't want your money. Please don't follow me anymore. It’s annoying.” After saying this, Lyle walked away. Lyle seemed very unhappy as if he was done talking to them. Yule scowled at his disrespect. “Don't you think you've gone too far?” Yule frowned and said unhappily as Lyle tried to leave. Lyle did not look back. He d
Lyle returned to Philip’s side happily and spoke to him excitedly. Philip frowned at Lyle’s quick return and scowled at the crowd. “Brat, you’ve really been slacking off nowadays. You didn't even notice that you were being followed.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Lyle was too oblivious to his surroundings. Lyle was surprised to hear that, and he was embarrassed to find someone targeting him. “No way, how is that possible? I was very careful on my way back. There’s no way anyone could've followed me.” Lyle looked around carefully. He was nervous and felt that something was wrong. At this time, Aslan said helplessly, “You're too careless. I can detect a strange scent on you. Clearly, someone sprinkled some powder on you and tracked you all the way.” Lyle scowled at this development. “This is outrageous. Who did this to me? I’ll rip them into pieces.” Lyle was very angry and wished he could give the other party a good beating. He easily guessed who was following him.
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
“Can you tell me what’s going on now? The merfolk isn’t your enemy only. My little apprentice has a grudge against them too.” Philip patted Katie’s head expectantly. There must be a cause for this. Philip could not wait to find out more. Hearing that, Marina finally let down her guard and stopped behaving like a pampered princess. “To tell you the truth, the merfolk is an extension of the mermaid clan. Back then, our people gave birth to offspring with other races, but the offspring was ugly because they combined the shortcomings of the two families.” Hearing that, Philip finally knew what was going on and felt sorry for the merfolk. The fusion of two races would usually produce powerful offspring that could overturn the world at any minute. However, this union produced the opposite effect instead, resulting in ugly offspring. “Who did you hook up with to produce those weird things? I'm quite curious. After all, I fought those merfolk before, and that ugly appearance re
“Uncle, have you gone bonkers from the fight with the merfolk? I’ve taken such pills in their world before. It doesn’t affect us. I know you want to make me happy, but you don’t have to do this!” Seeing Marina’s disbelief, the old man jumped out and displayed his strength. Due to their past acquaintance, they knew each other’s strengths quite well. After feeling the old man's increasing strength, Marina looked in amazement at Philip who gave him the pill. “Your pill is different from the ones I’ve seen before. What's going on? Do you have a miracle pill that can turn the tables around?” Marina had no intention of doubting Philip, but the effect of Philip's pill was so good that she could not believe it. Aslan smiled calmly at Marina’s ignorance. “What do you know? Don’t compare the pills made by ordinary people to Philip’s pills. You’re simply ridiculous. Do you know how many people would kill for Philip’s pills? You really don’t know how to appreciate a good thing when i
Katie stood aside in disbelief, appalled by the disgusting merfolk. “Tom, don’t be sad. We’ll take revenge someday. The merfolk killed my family too. I won’t let them off either!” Katie clenched her fists angrily. Under normal circumstances, Marina would retort at this point. After all, Katie was just a normal human with an ordinary status. There was no way she could go against the ferocious merfolk. Even their noble and powerful bloodline might be no match for the disgusting merfolk, not to mention Katie. However, she was not in the mood to say anything now. It was useless to scorn Katie. It would not bring her family back. “As expected, every creature in this world is as insignificant as ants. Only strength is everlasting.” Philip shook his head helplessly, not expecting to see this scene as soon as he arrived. Marina was puzzled by Philip’s enigmatic words, but she simply buried her dead comrades without a word. Many of them had been seriously injured and could n
“I finally realized why we couldn’t breathe normally in that strange sea area. It’s because our strength isn’t there yet, not because there’s a problem with it!” Lyle shared with everyone his discovery via voice transmission. Everyone ignored his jokes. They looked around curiously, trying to see what was going on. They stopped when they came across some mermaids in a miserable state. The mermaids were seriously injured with their scales ripped off. Tom rushed over in a panic, wondering what was going on. “Lady Marina is back. She escaped the merfolk's pursuit and came back!” someone shouted excitedly after seeing Marina. An elderly man rushed out from a corner. “Tom, take Lady Marina and leave. This place isn’t safe anymore. Many of our people have left. The merfolk will come back again if we don’t leave now. We can't fight them!” The old man was obviously seriously injured. After speaking so anxiously, he coughed blood and looked very miserable. Marina shed tears
“Are you planning to bring her along?” Marina pointed at Katie standing behind Philip in surprise. In Marina's opinion, a powerful practitioner like Philip should not have any dealings with these ordinary women. “Yes, I’ll bring Katie with me and practice with her. Do you have any objections?” Marina shook her head. She did not have any objection but felt pity for Philip. “Forget it, you’ll regret your decision to bring such a burden with you when you reach the world of the gods.” After saying this, Marina fell silent as if she was unhappy with Philip’s stupid decision. Philip simply took out the stone from his pocket and poured some energy into it. “Get ready to leave.” As more energy was infused, a portal soon appeared, and everyone was excited to see the door. Marina dashed inside without hesitation and disappeared behind the door. Philip and the others walked in one after another. After a short wave of dizziness, Philip and others saw the world in front of the
