221: Chapter 221 The female died on her way to escape.
Due to the restrictions of the Beast God Contract, Prince Jiaoli could not mate with a Female Beastman before reaching adulthood.
Therefore, King Jiao could only wait while searching the entire Beast World for a Female Beastman with a powerful Beast Form.
He heard that only Cubs born from a Female Beastman with a powerful Beast Form could better preserve the Power of the Beast God.
Finally, he waited until Prince Jiaoli reached adulthood.
He couldn't wait to have Prince Jiaoli perform the Binding Ceremony with a Female Beastman as soon as that soul appeared.
However, no matter how many Female Beastmen he brought back.
That soul never appeared again.
Until one day, a member of the Jiao Clan found a Female Beastman with a massive Beast Form.
But she was a fool.
She had forgotten who she was, remembering only that she needed to find two people—Fentian and Heng Zhou.
Yet, even though she was a fool, King Jiao, seeing that her Beast Form was powerful, still let Prince Jiaoli meet her.
But the moment Prince Jiaoli saw her, that soul appeared again.
Thus, King Jiao immediately held the Binding Ceremony for them.
Thereafter, that soul began to appear frequently.
The Power of the Beast God in Prince Jiaoli's blood also became increasingly strong.
In order to prevent the two of them from breaking free of his control.
He not only used the Jiao Clan's sorcery to Seal the Energy within Prince Jiaoli.
But also deceived her into letting him Seal her Energy and Beast Form.
Because her Beast Form was simply too large.
Even with her Energy Sealed, she could still turn the Jiao Clan upside down.
But not long after.
The Seal confining Prince Jiaoli seemed to stop working.
He bewitched the gatekeeper.
And escaped with that Female Beastman.
But because both of them had their Energy Sealed.
They were quickly captured and brought back.
King Jiao discovered that even though Prince Jiaoli's Energy was Sealed, when that soul appeared, his eyes still possessed the ability to bewitch.
Therefore, he immediately covered his eyes.
He had originally intended to gouge them out.
But he was afraid that those eyes contained immense Power of the Beast God. If he gouged them out, he wouldn't be able to let his blood continuously produce Energy.
A few days later, the Female Beastman laid an egg.
Perhaps because her Beast Form was Sealed, the egg did not develop well.
However, King Jiao still took it away as if it were a precious treasure and found someone to incubate it properly.
Half a year later, it was Prince Jiaoli's birthday.
In previous years, King Jiao would pretend to celebrate his birthday for him.
Saying things like, "Taking your blood is for the future of the Jiao Clan. It is your responsibility as a prince..." and so on.
The innocent and obedient Jiao Clan prince would believe it to be true.
However, ever since that Female Beastman arrived.
Even his easily deceived son seemed to have seen through his conspiracy.
He begged King Jiao to release that Female Beastman.
King Jiao did not agree.
Therefore, he stated a second wish.
"I want to see you, Father. I have lived in darkness for too long. What you want to cover is that soul's eyes, not mine. Can I look at you? Do you not want to look at me?"
The Supernatural Ability of that soul was only effective when it occupied the Jiao Clan prince's body.
Therefore, perhaps out of a sliver of remaining fatherly love, or perhaps just out of curiosity.
He removed the covering from his eyes.
That day.
The soul inside Prince Jiaoli switched out the moment the cloth was removed.
He caused King Jiao to fall into an eternal slumber.
And made the royals of the Jiao Clan slaughter each other.
At that time, she was fortunate enough to be the only royal to survive.
Although she survived.
She still feels that a portion of her memory is missing to this day.
She remembers standing before Prince Jiaoli with her father and sisters.
Seeing his purple eyes.
In that moment, she was certain that she was looking at her younger brother, not that soul.
But after that... why couldn't she remember?
She couldn't even recall the face of that Female Beastman.
The Supernatural Ability of the Servant of the Beast God is to probe thoughts and make beastmen see their inner fears, causing them to slaughter each other.
It cannot erase or modify memories.
Then why couldn't she remember?
Jiao Luo snapped out of her memories.
She pounded her temples hard, but still couldn't recall what happened after that.
But it didn't matter anyway.
Anyway, that Female Beastman had already died on the road while escaping.
Her foolish younger brother had also fallen into a deep slumber due to sustaining heavy injuries.
As the "sole surviving" royal, she became powerful by consuming the Power of the Beast God remaining in King Jiao's blood.
And ruled over the Jiao Clan.
But after tasting the flavor of becoming stronger, she wanted more.
She yearned for that soul to appear again.
At the same time, she studied the egg he had produced with that Female Beastman.
She used a massive amount of Energy to nourish it, and it took several years to finally hatch the egg.
Unfortunately, that egg was produced by the Female Beastman and her younger brother.
The Cub that hatched was just as useless as her younger brother, with absolutely no Energy at all!
What a waste of her Energy!
However, it was fine now.
Her younger brother's body had healed, and the soul had completely disappeared.
The soul of the Servant of the Beast God could finally completely occupy this body.
Jiao Luo snapped back from her long memories.
Only to suddenly realize that everything she had just thought seemed to have been manipulated by someone.
She looked sharply at Prince Jiaoli.
The corners of Prince Jiaoli's mouth were curled in an infuriating smile.
"So it was you—Princess Jiao Yi, is your younger sister's body comfortable to use?"
Being exposed to her face, Jiao Luo angrily retrieved her scepter from her space and pressed it against Prince Jiaoli's neck.
"If you dare to pry into my thoughts again, I will kill you!"
Prince Jiaoli's neck immediately sank in.
He couldn't breathe well and began to cough.
While coughing, he let out a burst of wild laughter, "You can't bear to, you are still counting on my blood to help you live forever. Besides, your two younger sisters were already going to die at that time, so what is wrong with making use of them?"
Jiao Luo was stunned, not expecting Prince Jiaoli to say such a thing.
But she immediately realized that those were her thoughts, and he had seen through them again.
"Cover his eyes with a few more layers for me!"
It must be that the cloth was not thick enough, which is why he could see.
The Witch Doctor tremblingly took out a piece of white cloth and wrapped it around Prince Jiaoli's eyes several more times.
Wrapping him until only his nose and mouth were left exposed, only then did she feel relieved.
Jiao Luo put away her scepter.
Seeing Prince Jiaoli shake his head from side to side, appearing as if he wanted to probe her inner thoughts.
Determining that he could not probe them anymore.
She then triumphantly patted his face with the scepter and said arrogantly: "Behave and listen, let me take your blood. Once I become stronger. I will tie up the guy who killed me and bring him over to take his blood as well. By then, you won't be so lonely."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Luo saw shock on "Prince Jiaoli's" face for the first time.

When Tang Ruan and her party arrived at the Beast King Palace, Yan Qing was preparing to discuss matters with the batch of city lords who had just arrived.
According to the plan, the city meeting for Lang Lie and the others still needed to be delayed by a few days.
However, perhaps they felt that the discovery of the sea beasts was very important, so after She Mu reported it, they walked in together with this batch of city lords.
Seeing them go in, Tang Ruan originally intended to return to her room to wait.
Who would have thought, She Mu called out to stop her.
"Goddess." She Mu bowed and saluted, "The Beast King wants you to go in as well."
"Now?"
Tang Ruan felt somewhat troubled while holding Guo Guo.
Guo Guo looked so much like her; if she carried her in, she would definitely be misunderstood!
Everyone knew that she and Yan Qing did not have any Cubs.
"You can first entrust this Cub to my Mistress to look after," She Mu said understandingly.
"Your Mistress?"
A trace of a blush appeared on She Mu's face, with a hint of showing off and a hint of shyness.
"I have already completed the Binding Ceremony with Hu Niu."
Tang Ruan: "Oh! Is that so!"
She Mu, who had intended to show off properly: ...
He couldn't help but ask.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Tang Ruan shrugged, "Uh-huh!"
When she had the two of them test the love-testing stone, the love-testing stone had shattered into such a state, so what was there to be surprised about?
But since the honest man rarely wanted to show off, Tang Ruan decided to play along with him.
"I just didn't expect you two to be so fast! Quickly tell me, how did it happen?"
Just as She Mu was about to speak, Yan Qing's voice came from inside the Beast King Palace.
"Ruan Ruan, come in."
