Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Chapter 249: It’s Nothing

Bai Su asked, "You’ve all been patrolling near the Infinite Abyss recently. Did something happen inside the Abyss?"

The soldier looked at her nervously. "You don’t know? Beasts have been mutating recently and hurting the nearby villagers."

Bai Su frowned slightly. Of course, she knew about that.

She shared a telepathic link with her main body; any information her main body knew, she knew as well.

But she felt that since these soldiers patrolled here every day, they must know more than what was being reported online.

Her eyes turned cold. "Weren’t there mutated beasts in the Abyss before? Why have so many suddenly appeared and started hurting people, when they never came out before?"

A flash of hesitation crossed the soldier’s face. "This... I-I don’t know either."

Bai Su’s voice grew even colder. "Soldier, if you don’t tell me the truth, I can’t guarantee your safety."

She pulled Lu Tingyan out from behind her.

Lu Tingyan thought it was his cue to act and was about to swipe at the soldier with his claws.

The soldier trembled in fear, his head throbbing as if it would split open. "I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

Bai Su held Lu Tingyan back. "Go on."

The soldier had no choice but to confess, "I’m not entirely sure about the specifics. I only know that the higher-ups said there would be a major disturbance in the Abyss soon, something about a seal loosening. I also heard that the Beast God Crystal Stone prophesied that our Young Miss is the savior."

"Before, whenever ferocious beasts attacked Beastmen and we couldn’t handle it, we’d send for the Young Miss. She took care of it every time."

Lu Tingyan caught the key points. "What seal? And what’s this prophecy from the Beast God Crystal Stone?"

The terrified soldier quickly scrambled back, stammering in fear, "I... I don’t know! That’s not information a low-ranking soldier like me would have access to."

Seeing Lu Tingyan’s expression darken, the soldier hurriedly added, "But I heard that the savior in the Beast God’s prophecy can make all beasts willingly submit and await their command."

"Only when the savior appears can we be saved. Otherwise, the Dark Power will break through the seal, and one day it will drag the world into destruction. Everything will be... will be finished!"

Lu Tingyan pondered for a moment, recalling Qin Nuo with a hint of disgust. ’Her? The savior?’

Bai Su, however, was suddenly reminded of Rosa Meiya.

When she and Rosa Meiya first met, they didn’t get along.

She hadn’t paid him much mind, and Rosa Meiya hadn’t liked her either.

But then he had suddenly changed his secondary gender and started pursuing her.

At the Qin Family banquet, both Rosa Meiya and Li Chenlin had explained the Beast God prophecy to her. This was why all the nations of this world respected the Qin Family: they were the generational guardians of the Beast God Crystal Stone, which could communicate directly with the god.

Rosa Meiya had changed his secondary gender and started coming to her restaurant.

The moment her Healing Power entered his body, she sensed his physical condition.

Rosa Meiya hadn’t truly undergone a second differentiation; he had used some kind of drug to temporarily change his secondary gender.

He went to such lengths just to get close to Bai Su. His motives were definitely not pure.

To lower his guard, Bai Su deliberately allowed him to get close to her.

At first, she thought Rosa Meiya was approaching her for the key Hua Hua had given her. It was only later, when Rosa Meiya accidentally let it slip, that she vaguely understood it was because of a mysterious prophecy.

But she still hadn’t managed to pry the details of that prophecy out of Rosa Meiya.

And now, coincidentally, the Qin Family also had a prophecy.

Previously, after Yelias compared her genes with Leia’s and confirmed they were biological sisters, it was also confirmed that they both shared the Qin Family’s bloodline.

This was Bai Su’s trump card, and she was in no hurry to acknowledge her connection to the Qin family.

’What if...?’ she thought, a bold idea forming. ’Rosa Meiya suddenly changed his attitude toward me because of a prophecy, even faking a differentiation into a male just to pursue me. And I just so happen to be related to the Qin Family.’

’Could this prophecy from the Beast God Crystal Stone have something to do with me?’

Seeing her silent for a long while, Lu Tingyan patted her. "What’s wrong?"

Bai Su came back to her senses and shook her head. "It’s nothing."

’It’s too complicated,’ she thought. ’And with Lu Tingyan’s amnesia, I wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly anyway.’

Bai Su explained, "My Purification Power can restore their sanity."

But she didn’t know if a beast, once purified by her, could be contaminated again. And if not, how long the "immunity" would last.

Lu Tingyan entered his Full Beastification State and carried Bai Su on his back.

Aided by Bai Su’s Purification Power, the two quickly reached the bottom of the Abyss.

The bottom of the Abyss was pitch-black, far darker than the last time Bai Su had been here.

A black mist permeated everything.

The mist carried a thick, foul stench that was so acrid it made one’s eyes sting.

Lu Tingyan’s true form was a wolf, and his sense of smell was keen. The overpowering stench made him dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Su thought for a moment, then tore off a piece of her T-shirt, wet it with water, and fashioned a simple mask for him to wear.

Lu Tingyan shook his head awkwardly. "I’m not wearing it."

Bai Su said, "This isn’t the time to be picky. If you pass out from the smell, who’s going to be my muscle?"

Lu Tingyan said, "It smells like you."

Bai Su asked, "You dislike my scent?"

Lu Tingyan replied, "I’ll... have a reaction. It’ll affect my combat ability."

Bai Su was speechless. "...Can’t you control yourself?"

Lu Tingyan sounded a little wronged. "It’s not something I can control."

Bai Su was at a loss for words. "Well, can you endure it then?"

The stench made Lu Tingyan’s brow furrow, but he still nodded. "I’ll be fine as long as you stay a little closer to me."

He shifted back to his human form and, in the darkness, accurately found Bai Su’s hand, lacing his fingers with hers. "This way, we won’t get separated."
