163: drought demon

Su Ze looked forward to seeing what kind of monster beast would hatch from the first God-Beast level demon beast egg he had obtained from the system.

Lin Xi, on the other hand, was eagerly anticipating whether Great Xia could be protected as the threat of the Monster Beast World loomed.

Although based on its performance, the egg alone had completely crushed Yamata no Orochi and shouldn't be lower than a Moonlight Level God-Beast, he was still somewhat apprehensive.

As for Feng Qingyi, while looking forward to her new companion, she was also a bit worried about whether her position as the boss of the beast taming space would be snatched away.

After all, she had dominated the beast taming space alone for a long time; the Shadow Moon Wolf King could only stay in the Shadow Realm, and the Void Spirit Turtle had it even worse, constantly being carried around in a bag.

This time, Su Ze had been kidnapped to Fuso, and the Void Spirit Turtle had even been left behind in Great Xia, separating them.

But there was an advantage to this: through the Void Spirit Turtle's condition, Xu Yao and Wang Zi back in Great Xia could judge his safety status at any time.

Amidst the anticipation of the three—one human, one beast, and one half-human half-beast—the red light finally dissipated, revealing its true form.

However, what appeared before them was not some hideous blood-sucking monster, but a curvaceous woman dressed in green.

Her appearance was as moving as a celestial maiden's; although most demon beasts were beautiful when transformed into human form, like Feng Qingyi, she was even more stunning.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair cascaded down her back, making her look pure and lovely. However, her eyes were an eerie blood-red, adding a touch of Charm.

Su Ze shook his head to clear his mind.

He warned himself inwardly, "What am I thinking? This is just a demon beast's transformation. Since she loves drinking blood so much, her true form might be a giant mosquito or a vampire bat. Su Ze, you can't let appearances cloud your judgment!"

"But then again... if mosquitoes could look like this, they probably wouldn't be so annoying..."

At this moment, the woman in green floated down from above, bowed slightly, and said politely, "This humble one greets the master."

Perhaps due to her ability, Su Ze felt a wave of heat.

He swallowed and said, "No need to be so formal. By the way, I still don't know what your true form is..."

The woman in green glanced at him and said with a hint of displeasure, "master, you're being a bit rude. Besides, I don't have a so-called true form; I was born looking like this."

Su Ze naturally didn't believe her. How could a demon beast be born in human form? She just didn't want to say.

Could it be because her true form was too ugly?

Since she was female, her love for beauty was understandable. If she didn't want to say, so be it.

Although Su Ze thought this, he had already opened the system panel in his mind.

Before the system panel, her true identity would be exposed!

"Come, let me see what your true form is..."

"Race: Hanba;"

Bloodline: Corona Level;

Level: Mid-stage Star Radiance;

Skills: Essence of Heat, Blood Manipulation, Descent of the Blazing Sun, Corpse Transformation, Charm...;

Talent Skills: Thousand Miles of Barren Land, Ancestor of Zombies..."

"So she's a Hanba!" Su Ze's heart raced with excitement.

The Hanba is a monster from ancient Chinese mythology that causes droughts, and Great Xia in this world had the same legends.

Legend has it that during the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor sent Yinglong to the wilds of Jizhou to fight against him.

Yinglong was a winged dragon that unleashed a massive flood to trap Chiyou.

Chiyou called upon the Lord of Wind and the Master of Rain, and Yinglong's army became lost in the overwhelming wind and rain.

The Yellow Emperor then sent the Celestial Maiden Ba to join the battle. Ba was dressed in green and could emit intense light and heat.

She arrived at the front lines and unleashed her divine power; the wind, rain, and mist instantly dissipated, and the Yellow Emperor finally captured and killed Chiyou.

Yinglong and Ba performed great feats, but they lost their divine powers and could no longer return to the heavens.

Yinglong remained in the south of the human world, and from then on, the south was filled with water and rain.

Ba stayed in the north, and since then, the north has been plagued by droughts. Wherever she went, people cursed and drove her away, calling her "Hanba."

After that, the divine aspect of the Hanba was gradually denied by people, and her image shifted toward a more evil persona.

She became the King of Zombies, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Corpses!

This meant that Hanba hadn't lied just now; she truly had looked like this since birth and didn't have a so-called true form.

"But a zombie..." Su Ze still felt a bit apprehensive.

Based on the zombie movies he had seen before transmigrating, zombies were all blue-faced with fangs, hopping around, with two large teeth almost poking their chins.

However, the Hanba before him, known as the King of Zombies, didn't seem to have any of those characteristics. The only thing that matched was probably the blood-sucking.

After all, the scarlet blood egg required blood to hatch.

Hanba seemed to have sensed something as she glanced at Su Ze and said, "It seems the master has already sensed my true identity. Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Su Ze nodded.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi, who was nearby, had also guessed Hanba's identity.

A humanoid God-Beast that sucked blood and brought droughts—it could only be Hanba, the King of Zombies!

Hanba then approached Su Ze and lifted his right hand; he had accidentally sustained a minor injury during the earlier melee.

The injury wasn't serious, just a cut on his index finger, but the blood hadn't clotted yet.

Suddenly, Hanba licked Su Ze's wound and even began to suck his blood.

This strange sensation made Su Ze want to pull his hand back, yet he was also somewhat reluctant.

When Hanba stopped, he withdrew his hand with a lingering sense of wanting more, only to find that the wound had healed unknowingly.

"master's blood is very delicious, much better than the foul blood of that ugly snake from earlier."

"Unfortunately, you're just an ordinary human. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and might hurt you, so I healed your wound for you."

Su Ze raised an eyebrow. Was this how Hanba helped heal wounds?

This time it was only his finger; what if he were injured somewhere else?

Su Ze's mind began to wander with imagination.

Meanwhile, Hanba had already approached Feng Qingyi.

She provocatively tilted Feng Qingyi's chin up and said, "Little Phoenix sister, your blood is also quite good. Big sister will have to rely on you from now on."

Hearing this, Su Ze knew Feng Qingyi had a fiery temper and might start a fight over it.

Just as he was about to intervene, he saw Feng Qingyi staring uncontrollably at Hanba's exquisite face and nodding gently.

"What the heck? Is this what they call a high-rank God-Beast controlling a lower-rank one?"

After all, Hanba's bloodline was the legendary Corona Level, which was extremely rare even in the Monster Beast World, while Feng Qingyi was just a Little Phoenix who had become a Star Radiance Level God-Beast by purifying her bloodline.

But then he noticed something was off; Feng Qingyi didn't look like she was being forcibly controlled.

Instead, she was blushing and looked a bit shy. She was completely captivated by the other's beauty!

Being beautiful really does allow one to do whatever they want!
