She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 104 – Mutated Devouring Beast

Chapter 104: Mutated Devouring Beast

 

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

On the Holy Spirit Continent, there were many people who knew that the Prime Master had a personal disciple. There were also many people who knew that the personal disciple's name was Linyuan, but there were very few people who knew that Linyuan's surname was Ji.

Apart from his master, Yin Mingjue, only Yin Mingjue's personal attendant, Yin Donghai, knew.

But how did that young lady know his name?

Ji Linyuan couldn't figure it out.

Sheng Xiao was surprised to hear Ji Linyuan's name from Yu Huang. He asked Yu Huang, “You know his name?”

Yu Huang felt strange when she heard Sheng Xiao's question. According to her father, she was kidnapped by Yin Mingchong's people when she was only three months old. But what kind of memories could a three-month-old baby have?

Yu Huang shook her head and explained, “I don't know his name. I just think the name Linyuan will be more beautiful with the surname Ji.”

In order to hide her guilt, Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, “Don't you think so?”

Sheng Xiao nodded. “That's a good name. Let's get down to business.”

Yu Huang had been to the Myriad Book Pavilion once and was familiar with the layout.

The Myriad Book Pavilion was divided into Bird Pavilion, Sea Beast Pavilion, Plant Pavilion, and Beast Pavilion. The insect-type beasts were temporarily stored in the Plant Pavilion because of the small number of species.

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao went straight to the plant store. They found the insect file on the west side of the second floor according to the instructions.

Yu Huang said to Sheng Xiao, “You read it from the left while I read from the right.”

“Okay.”

Although there were fewer types of insects in the beast form, there were still two bookshelves full of them. The two of them started reading from 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the morning. They did not rest for more than 15 minutes during this period. However, they did not find a beast form that was completely compatible with Anna Tao's beast form.

After reading the last book, Yu Huang still did not find the answer she wanted. She closed the book and looked up at Sheng Xiao. She muttered, “Perhaps her beast form does not belong to the insect specialization.”

Yu Huang's eyes lit up when she thought about how Mr. Zhong was a mobile encyclopedia. Perhaps he knew Anna's beast form. She said to Sheng Xiao, “If only we can contact Mr. Zhong. We can ask him.”

Sheng Xiao looked at the long corridor outside the hall of the Myriad Book Pavilion and said softly, “You don't have to ask Mr. Zhong. It's the same if you ask the gatekeeper.”

Senior Brother?

“Let's try our luck.”

After leaving the botany hall, the two of them stood on the stairs outside the gate of the hall of the Myriad Book Pavilion. Sheng Xiao said to the empty night sky, “Mr. Linyuan, I have something that I don't understand. Please enlighten me.”

The empty air suddenly distorted as an old man's figure slowly condensed.

Ji Linyuan lowered his head and stood below. He walked up to the two of them.

Ji Linyuan stared at Yu Huang thoughtfully for a while before nodding at Sheng Xiao. “What is it?”

Sheng Xiao asked Ji Linyuan humbly, “I would like to ask Mr. Linyuan if there is a beast that looks like an ant but has teeth?”

After hearing Sheng Xiao's description, Ji Linyuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he opened his eyes and said with certainty, “There is indeed such a beast form. Follow me.”

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked at each other in joy.

The two of them hurriedly followed behind Ji Linyuan and arrived at the Beast Hall.

Standing in front of the Beast Hall, Yu Huang could not help but suspect that Ji Linyuan had remembered wrongly.

Yu Huang reminded Ji Linyuan, “Sir, my friend's beast form is very small, and her beast form…”

Ji Linyuan interrupted her. “Some ferocious beasts are growth-type.” He glanced at Yu Huang and said meaningfully, “For example, the Divine Feather Phoenix Clan.”

Yu Huang's pupils dilated slightly. She guessed that her and Lin Jiansheng's every move in the Myriad Book Pavilion last time was under Mr. Linyuan's surveillance.

Without questioning Linyuan's professional judgment, the two of them followed him into the Beast Hall.

Lin Yuan stood in the hall of the Beast Hall and thought for a moment before walking up the stairs. He walked straight to the fifth row of bookshelves on the left of the fourth floor of the building and stood on his tiptoes to take a black book at the top of the bookshelf.

The book said—

[Catalogue of mutated beasts].

“Let's see if there's anything you want in here.” Ji Linyuan handed the black book to Sheng Xiao and was about to leave. He took a few steps and suddenly turned around to ask Yu Huang, “Young lady, how old are you?”

Yu Huang met Ji Linyuan's thoughtful gaze. She hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, “I turned 19 this year.”

Ji Linyuan looked at her with a deeper gaze. “Oh, based on your accent, you don't seem to be from Jingdu. Which family are you from?”

Yu Huang told her, “My surname is Yu, and my father is Yu Donghai. I'm from the Prosperous Capital.” She deliberately mentioned Yu Donghai's name to test Ji Linyuan's reaction.

She noticed that when Ji Linyuan heard Yu Donghai's name, his eyes clearly flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Ji Linyuan didn't continue asking and only said, “Call me if there's anything. I'll take my leave first.”

“Take care, Sir.”

Sheng Xiao only opened the book after Ji Linyuan left.

Sheng Xiao had long hands. His right fingertip landed on the ancient and slightly yellow page, making it appear even fairer.

Yu Huang stared at the beautiful right hand in a daze.

The book recorded some mutated beast forms. These beast forms had all kinds of strange appearances. At first, they looked like monsters, but on a closer look, one could find the semblance of a normal beast form on their bodies.

Sheng Xiao quickly read the contents. He flipped through more than sixty pages and finally found something. “Yu Huang, look at this!”

Sheng Xiao quickly read the contents. He flipped through more than sixty pages and finally found something. “Yu Huang, look at this!”

There was a creature that looked like an ant on the page, but in the close-up picture, it had teeth in its mouth.

Beside the picture was the name of the creature—

Mutated Devouring Beast.

Mutated Devouring Beast?

This name sounded awesome.

Yu Huang hurriedly flipped to the back and saw annotation regarding the Mutated Devouring Beast—

The Mutated Devouring Beast looked like an ant, but it had sharp teeth. There was a chance that a Mutated Devouring Beast would be awakened in every hundred thousand ant beast forms. It was a high-level beast.

Its teeth were extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

Note: This beast can absorb everything in the world. If it consumes spiritual force, it can increase its cultivation. If it consumes poison, its lifespan will decrease. It is both a good beast and an evil beast.

After reading the notes, Yu Huang's eyes were filled with shock. Even Sheng Xiao was shocked. “This thing increases its cultivation by consuming spiritual energy. No wonder your friend's cultivation level did not improve after cultivating for half a year. This thing is really a evil beast.”

Yu Huang was unhappy when she heard Sheng Xiao's evaluation of Anna Tao. She could not help but retort, “But from another perspective, a mutated devouring beast can be a good beast. The book said that a mutated devouring beast can remove poison.”

Sheng Xiao understood Yu Huang's protection of Anna Tao as a friend, but he still pointed out a key question mercilessly. “Yu Huang, if your beast form is a Mutated Devouring Beast, do you want to be a super-powerful person? Or do you want to be a saint and use your life to save those poisoned strangers?”

Yu Huang was momentarily speechless.

Sheng Xiao closed the black book and stuffed it back onto the shelf.

He looked up at the carved pillar at the top of the building and sighed softly. “Yu Huang, human nature is sometimes very great, but sometimes it's very selfish. I'm seven years older than you. I've lived for 26 years. Among the Beast Tamers I've seen, there's only one person who is truely selfless.”

At the mention of that person, Sheng Xiao, who had always been quiet, started to talk non-stop. “That person is my idol. In the Central Pagoda Protection War, in order to protect the Holy Spirit Continent, he sacrificed his beast form and blocked the space-time gate with his flesh and blood. When you successfully enter the Divine Realm Academy, I will bring you to worship him. He is a person worthy of admiration and love.”

At the mention of that person, Sheng Xiao, who had always been quiet, started to talk non-stop. “That person is my idol. In the battle of the Central Pagoda, in order to protect the Holy Spirit Continent, he sacrificed his beast form and blocked the space-time gate with his flesh and blood. When you successfully enter the Divine Realm Academy, I will bring you to worship him. He is a person worthy of admiration and love.”

However, she could only hear information related to her father from the descriptions of others, yet she was unable to see it with her own eyes, and this caused Yu Huang to feel sad and dejected.

Yu Huang hid her thoughts and asked Sheng Xiao, “Is the person you're talking about the Prime Master?”

Sheng Xiao admitted it openly. “Yes, it's him. But I've never seen many people who are as selfless as him. Most of them are selfish people. Do you think she will still be as calm and composed as she is now after your friend knows her true identity in her beast form?”

Yu Huang retorted Sheng Xiao's opinion of Anna Tao. “Anna is not that kind of person! She is very kind!”

Sheng Xiao did not argue with Yu Huang when he saw that she was agitated. He analyzed rationally, “Anna Tao was bullied by many people during the past half a year because of her weak beast form.”

“This might not be the first time she's faced such a situation in the screening test. Do you think a girl who's always bullied by others can still remain unmoved after suddenly finding out how powerful her beast form is?”

Sheng Xiao was familiar with human nature.

His words directly rendered Yu Huang speechless.

Yu Huang had lived during the end of the world. She had seen countless sins in that base. She knew that Sheng Xiao was not exaggerating the truth. He was just stating the truth as a rational adult.

Yu Huang could not help but change her position and think about it. If she were Anna Tao, would she still be able to maintain a normal mindset after suffering those unfair treatment?

Probably not.

Just what happened at the screening test today was enough to plant a seed of hatred in her heart.

At the thought of this, Yu Huang felt a chill down her spine.

She was suddenly confused and didn't know if she should tell Anna Tao the truth about the Mutated Devouring Beast.

If she said it, she was afraid that Anna Tao would go astray in the future. If she did not say it, then Anna Tao would not even have a chance to choose.

In her life, Anna Tao could not be a bad person or a good person.. She could only be an ordinary person with mediocre talent.
