311: Chapter 311 Twenty Years of Hidden Momentum

Sure enough, by doing this, she encountered far fewer troubles.

However, new problems arose.

She had no fame, no reputation, and even fewer connections.

When she tried to anonymously post speculations online like "Spirit beasts might reincarnate as magic beasts after death," "The Demon Abyss Cult might be involved in this," and "The magic beasts appearing in this world might all be deceased animals or spirit beasts."

No one believed her at all; instead, she drew a wave of ridicule and verbal abuse.

Everyone thought she was a delusional lunatic with something wrong in her head.

Of course, this was quite normal.

After all, the idea that "spirit beasts generate magic beasts after death" was simply a pipe dream under the cognitive system of that time, more absurd than a ghost story!

Magic beasts have been appearing for five thousand years; why are you the only one with memories of a past life?

In the long river of history, so many spirit beasts have fallen; why did only you succeed in reincarnating?

And you even reincarnated as a Demon Emperor!

If anyone believed such talk, then they would be the one with something wrong in their head!

Thus, Shi Yuying decided to change her plans once again.

After a period of lying low and experimenting, she discovered that the Inverse Source Attribute she possessed was one of the highest-level attributes capable of reversing rules to a certain extent!

And as a Demon Emperor, she inherently possessed a contract method similar to that of a Beast Tamer—the Demon Seed Origin!

With her Inverse Source Attribute combined with the Demon Seed Origin, she was able to inversely establish a special Demon Seed Contract with Spirit Beast Girls, simulating the effect of a Beast Tamer contracting a spirit beast!

Combined with her own powerful combat strength as a Demon Emperor, it was more than enough to disguise herself as a gifted SS-rank Beast Tamer!

Perhaps the only difference was that she lacked a man's confidence!

But none of that mattered; as long as she could form contracts, it was fine!

She decided to first break into the upper echelons of human society, and after gaining enough fame and a voice, she would find the right opportunity to reveal the truth!

In the eight years that followed, that was exactly what she did.

She traveled everywhere, and with her powerful strength and dashing looks, she attracted six Spirit Beast Girls with SS-rank Bloodlines and formed her own team.

As for any questions regarding her contract method, she brushed them off by saying her talent was quite special.

In any case, she really could guide spiritual power and build Affinity with her spirit beasts like a normal Beast Tamer—albeit in a 'yuri' fashion!

Since SS-rank Beast Tamers already held a highly respected status in Japan, it didn't cause too much suspicion!

Thus, eight years quietly passed by.

Until not long ago, news of the Antarctica secret realm opening arrived.

Shi Yuying realized that this was a perfect opportunity!

A stage that could make her name quickly resound throughout the world!

So, through various efforts, she successfully set out for the Antarctica secret realm as a representative of Japan.

Having been a member of the Dragon Country Allied Forces in her past life, she had a blood feud with the Demon Abyss Cult and naturally could not have any goodwill toward the Sect.

She had also recently heard that Chen Yi had repeatedly thwarted the Demon Abyss Cult's plans in Yanjing, Dragon Country, showing amazing strength and potential.

Naturally, this caused her to feel great curiosity and admiration for this young man from Dragon Country!

At this moment, Shi Yuying was sizing up Chen Yi with a beaming smile.

In those clear black eyes, admiration and curiosity were almost overflowing.

It was as if she were looking at a kindred spirit.

Chen Yi knew she was a female Demon Emperor, so regarding this overly enthusiastic admiration, his heart held more vigilance and confusion, and he didn't think of it in any other way.

However, in the eyes of Chen Yi's Contracted Girls, this was a completely different matter!

A male Beast Tamer who looked elegant and handsome—even prettier than a woman—was staring straight at their Chen Yi with such undisguised interest—

Could this guy be gay?

This thought instantly spread through The girls' minds!

At the thought of this possibility, all The girls' sense of crisis exploded!

They were even more nervous than when encountering a powerful enemy!

“Hey! What are you looking at!”

“Exactly! Brother Chen Yi belongs to all of us! You're not allowed to look at him with those eyes!”

“This—Mr. Shi Yuying, please mind your behavior.”

“Little Brother Chen Yi's charm really kills both men and women~ But this won't do~”

“Hubby is ours!”

—

The girls all took a step forward, shielding Chen Yi behind them.

Even Lin Mengxue, who had just rushed back, joined the defensive line!

Shi Yuying was stunned by this sudden display, then she chuckled and quickly waved her hands to explain: “Sorry, sorry! Ladies, don't misunderstand! I'm not gay. My feelings toward Mr. Chen Yi—are purely admiration between the strong, and respect for what he did in Dragon Country! Nothing else!”

However, her explanation only made things worse; The girls were even more triggered!

Purely admiration and respect between the strong?

How is that not gay?

What normal man would so bluntly express such admiration and respect for another man?

If you said you wanted to kill Chen Yi, they might not have such a strong sense of crisis!

If Chen Yi were to be turned gay, what would happen to their future nightlife?

This was a major matter concerning their lifelong happiness!

Chen Yi looked at The girls who were acting as if they were facing a great enemy, then at the innocent and wryly smiling Shi Yuying, and couldn't help but rub his brow helplessly.

But this was also fine; The girls' overreaction somehow made the atmosphere feel less confrontational.

It was much better than meeting the kind of enemy who is murderous at first sight and insists on a life-or-death struggle.

The Spirit Beast Girls Shi Yuying brought along, seeing their master being misunderstood, also couldn't help but step forward to help explain and bicker.

After all, they didn't know about the existence of the Demon Seed Contract, nor did they know Shi Yuying's true identity; they simply thought Shi Yuying was a Beast Tamer with a special talent whose body had inevitably become somewhat feminized.

With The girls on both sides talking back and forth, the atmosphere was a bit strange, but it could be considered lively?

Interestingly, Black Rose and Shi Yuying, these two Demon Emperors, were within arm's reach yet neither noticed the other's true identity.

After all, their methods for hiding their presence were all taught by that Queen.

They were essentially from the same school!

Plus, both sides started with the assumption that the other was a normal spirit beast and Beast Tamer, which led to this dramatic scene.

Thus, in a subtle and slightly chaotic atmosphere, over half an hour passed.

Finally, the topic was brought back on track.

Shi Yuying cleared her throat and pointed at the continent ahead shrouded in a light shield, saying seriously: “Brother Chen Yi, ladies, let's get down to business!”

“I presume you've also realized that to enter this place, we need to break this barrier, right?”

“According to my previous research, to enter this continent and reach the entrance of the final Ultimate Darkness Zone, one needs to unleash power exceeding the eighth rank!”

“As long as one can use power exceeding the eighth rank, they can shatter this barrier and enter!”
