330: Chapter 6 The World-Destroying Demon
"Lord Longyan, Lord Longyan!"
Bao Yang carried Yun Tiankai on her back, followed by four or five Female Beastmen, and knocked on Tang Longyan's door.
They generally would not come to disturb him.
Lord Longyan hated it when these Female Beastmen got close to him.
Last time, there was a Female Beastman who stood a little too close to him.
She was separated from him by a ribbon of fire he created.
That Female Beastman actually had feelings for him.
Between the shock and the sadness, she went back and cried all night.
But they could not just leave Yun Tiankai alone.
Because, it seemed she had died…
Auntie Hua checked Yun Tiankai's breath again.
She touched her hand.
Auntie Hua abruptly pulled her hand back.
She shook her head at Bao Yang.
"She's really dead? She was perfectly fine just a moment ago—"
Bao Yang couldn't help but raise her voice, but upon seeing Auntie Hua's gesture, she hastily stifled it.
She was afraid of disturbing Lord Longyan and making him angry.
But how did she suddenly die?
Although they had only spent a day together, watching a vibrant life suddenly vanish before her eyes was heartbreaking.
Bao Yang still felt very sad.
The Female Beastmen who came along all understood what Auntie Hua meant.
Everyone turned around, preparing to find a place to bury her.
She had not yet shifted into her Beast Form, so they all thought there might still be a glimmer of hope.
But she no longer had any breath…
It was estimated that she would soon transform into her Beast Form.
Just then, the stone door behind them opened with a 'hum'.
Tang Longyan stood in the doorway, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the group with some displeasure.
"What is it?"
The moment he spoke, the aura radiating from his body made several of the Female Beastmen unable to help themselves and kneel.
Bao Yang, carrying Yun Tiankai on her back, couldn't easily kneel, so she trembled and said, "She is dead."
Tang Longyan frowned slightly, his gaze landing on Yun Tiankai's pale face.
He reached out his hand to check her breath.
Her cold, small nose tip touched his warm hand…
Yun Tiankai suddenly felt a surge of Energy rush into her body.
Her consciousness, located in a void of darkness, saw the trading system once again.
[What happened to me?] Yun Tiankai asked.
She saw that three progress bars had appeared directly above the trading system.
They were: Existence Value, Emotional Activity, and Trading Activity.
The little system's tearful voice came through: [Wuwu… It's all my fault.
I applied for a trading supervision function yesterday, but I didn't expect them to discover the anomaly.]
[What anomaly?]
[It's just that…]
Yun Tiankai: [Did I just die? Tell me the truth!]
She was too familiar with that feeling; she was 100% sure she had died again!
Seeing that it couldn't hide it anymore, the little system told the truth.
It turned out that Yun Tiankai was not the originally intended transmigrator for the Beast World.
The originally intended transmigrator was a girl with great merit who, after dying, was supposed to transmigrate into the body of a White Fox Female Beastman and gain a chance at rebirth.
But because this girl was too kind, she was deceived right at the start by a White Tiger Beastman who was pretending to be injured.
The next day, he wanted to mate with the girl.
On the third day, while he was out hunting, the girl used a knife exchanged from her newbie gift pack to cut the ropes and ran away.
She was discovered by the White Tiger Beastman and, while fleeing, fell off a cliff and died.
Because she had only transmigrated for three days before dying from the fall.
If "the higher-ups" found out, they would charge the little system with "improper guidance."
They would revoke its system status and send it to be an NPC in a horror world.
So, in order to keep its job.
The little system found Yun Tiankai, who had just died and looked exactly like the White Fox Female Beastman, to take her place.
Originally, everything was seamless.
But because Yun Tiankai had no worries about food or clothing as soon as she transmigrated.
The little system was afraid that if she didn't trade items, the higher-ups would discover the anomaly.
So it applied for the trading supervision function, which meant that every so often, if there was no trade, it would punish her.
Then, the higher-ups discovered it—she didn't seem to be "her."
Although the higher-ups reluctantly believed it under the little system's repeated assurances.
However, three extra progress bars appeared.
Trading Activity: Filled based on the quantity and value of traded items.
Emotional Activity: Filled based on the emotions brought to the Beastmen.
These two, combined, are used to judge whether the transmigrator is a "real person" and whether they are still "alive."
Finally, they combine into "Existence Value."
If the Existence Value is zero, she is judged as non-existent.
And Yun Tiankai would be completely dead.
The fuller the Existence Value, the longer she lives.
Yun Tiankai after listening to the little system's explanation: …
Yun Tiankai: [So I'm a substitute.]
She knew it!
She only read novels and hadn't done any particularly great deeds, so how could she have transmigrated to the Beast World she wanted to go to most?
The little system: [Don't be too sad.
Although you are a substitute, but—]
[I'm really damn lucky!] Yun Tiankai said suddenly, excited.
The little system: …
The little system: [Aren't you sad?]
Yun Tiankai retorted: [You're queuing for hotpot, the person in front suddenly decides not to eat, and the last spot is given to you.
Would you be sad?]
The little system: …
What she said made so much sense!
This girl really doesn't have any internal conflict at all…
Yun Tiankai: [So from now on, I need to work hard to improve my Emotional Activity and Trading Activity.
To ensure my Existence Value keeps increasing, right?]
[Mm-hmm!]
[Then what happens if the Existence Value is full?]
[I don't know yet, but I guess that if it's full, it might trigger some new functions.]
[That's great!]
Seeing Yun Tiankai so motivated, the little system felt like it had been injected with adrenaline.
[Host, let me remind you.
Emotional Activity refers to the emotional influence on Beastmen; happiness, sadness, both work.
But "love" increases the activity the most.
So, you can find a few Male Beastmen to fall in love with you as soon as possible.
It's best if they are powerful Male Beastmen, because powerful Beastmen are like strong characters in a game.
They are easier to detect.
The Emotional Activity given by the system will also be higher.]
Yun Tiankai nodded and looked at her 0.1% Emotional Activity and 0.01% Existence Value.
Suddenly, she noticed a small window had appeared on the left side of the trading system.
Inside the window, it was playing the scene of Tang Longyan carrying her back to his cave.
He placed her carefully on a bed.
Then he pulled up one of her hands and closed his eyes.
The little system: [External Viewing function, I used my personal authority to temporarily open it for you.
It can only be used for a while.
You don't have this function yet, oh!]
Yun Tiankai glanced at it and saw her Existence Value suddenly increase to 0.2%.
[Why did my Existence Value increase?]
[Because those Female Beastmen are worried about you.]
Yun Tiankai: [No! It's not just the Female Beastmen; Tang Longyan is also worried about me, right?
He is a powerful Beastman, so his emotional fluctuations can affect my Existence Value more, right?]
The little system stopped talking.
After a long while, it let out a [Mm].
Then it added: [But Host, I have to remind you again.
You two are not suitable.
According to the data, although this Beastman hasn't killed many others, his parents were both earth-shattering Great Demon Kings in the Beast World.
If the Host accidentally provokes such a terrifying guy, in a matter of minutes you'll be—]
The little system's voice came to an abrupt halt.
Because Yun Tiankai had already jumped out of her consciousness.
She wrapped her arms around Tang Longyan's neck and blinked at him!
