Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 224 - 165: A Mysterious Heart Flutter and Beast King Ze Sheng
An Jin’s gaze fell on the Demon Beast corpses that had been instantly slaughtered before her, the surprise in her eyes fading.
Discreetly retracting the blade of energy in her hand, she reached up to wipe away the black blood splattered on her face. She couldn’t get it clean; the torrential downpour smeared it until her face was a mess.
’This man...’ 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
An Jin’s gaze fell upon him. The man was completely covered by his clothes, even his long, slender neck meticulously hidden, as if he were afraid of anyone seeing a single inch of his skin.
Only the tips of his fingers peeked out from beneath the wide Charming Purple Cloak. They were long and coolly pale, looking as if they were bathed in moonlight—utterly beautiful.
This inexplicably ascetic and sacred aesthetic was completely out of place in the primitive, rugged Beast World.
’System, are there any other transmigrators here? Say, someone from a Cultivation World?’ The untimely thought suddenly popped into An Jin’s head.
"I’m the only system on a mission in this plane!" Mirror Mirror grumbled. "Logically, there shouldn’t be any other transmigrators, but we can’t rule out an accident in a space-time tunnel or other such possibilities."
"My dear Host, don’t overthink it. This man is a bona fide Beastman. His soul power belongs to this world."
An Jin nodded and lowered her gaze, her hand resting over her chest. A thoughtful look filled her eyes.
For some reason, ever since this mysterious silver-haired man appeared, her heart had been pounding nonstop...
’Is this what having a crush feels like?’
’To hell with these schoolgirl thoughts.’ She refused to believe it. An Jin could sense an inexplicable aura about the man, one that held a powerful allure for her.
"Are you hurt?" the man asked gently, looking down at her.
His deep, cool voice rang in her ear—clear and pleasant, like an icy spring melting in the faint warmth of the morning sun.
An Jin wiped the rain from her face, soaked to the bone by the downpour. She raised an arm to her forehead, her rain-soaked eyelashes trembling as she looked up at the man. "No, I’m not. Thank you for showing up and dealing with that Demon Beast for me."
’Truthfully, even if he hadn’t shown up, I could have killed that Demon Beast myself.’
Still, basic courtesy was necessary.
The man landed beside her, his snow-white wings unfurling to shield her from above. The torrential downpour was instantly cut off.
As if feeling it was too stuffy, he reached up and removed the intricately embroidered Charming Purple Cloak. A thick mane of silver hair, vast as a snowfield, cascaded like a waterfall to his waist. The face he revealed was so exquisitely beautiful it was enough to make gods and mortals alike weep with envy.
He had a high-bridged nose, deep-set eyes, and elegant, thin lips. And in the center of his forehead was a mysterious, graceful purple mark.
The man looked down, his long, captivating purple eyes gazing at her gently, as if assessing her injuries to confirm she wasn’t lying.
An Jin was speechless.
’It’s over. My heart is beating even faster. This face is easily on par with the legendary beauty of the Mermaid Clan.’
The scene, a tapestry of dream and reality woven together, gradually came into focus.
"Watch out! There are more Demon Beasts over there!" An Jin hurriedly averted her gaze, only to see a massive swarm of Demon Beasts still pouring through the breach in the city wall, blocking the path completely.
The silver-haired man’s gentle gaze fell upon the horde of frenzied, brutal Demon Beasts, yet he showed no sign of alarm. A faint smile touched his elegant lips as he raised a long, slender, pale finger.
The next moment.
A blazing white beam of Energy suddenly swept across the land.
Vast swaths of Demon Beasts were instantly vaporized, not a single speck of dust or drop of blood left behind.
’...Is this power really not from a Cultivation Plane?’
Hiding behind the man, An Jin felt her entire understanding of the power levels in this Primordial Beast World shatter. She’d thought everyone here was a physical damage dealer, but then a spellcaster had suddenly popped out of nowhere.
...
「A few seconds earlier」
Beast Gathering City had fallen into an unprecedented state of panic.
The Demon Beasts had come... thousands, nearly ten thousand of them, a swarming black tide that surrounded the city, sealing it off completely.
Every face was steeped in despair.
A horde of Demon Beasts was one of the most terrifying things on the continent, leaving nothing but death and destruction in its wake.
A common Demon Beast was comparable to a Fourth Rank Beastman.
The combat strength of a Mid Rank Magical Beast was equivalent to that of a powerful Sixth Rank Beastman.
And now, within the city, besides the thousands upon thousands of Demon Beasts, there were also more than a dozen High Rank Magical Beasts?!
The combat strength of a High Rank Magical Beast was comparable to that of the exceedingly rare High Rank Beastman.
Among their several thousand Beastmen, only Ling Hong and Song Yi were High Rank Beastmen. Unless a dozen more Advanced Beastmen appeared, or a legendary King Beast descended, the city could not escape the fate of being annihilated by the Demon Beasts.
But where would they find a King Rank Beastman?
The noble and powerful King Beasts were the mightiest beings on the continent. There were no more than ten in the entire Beast God Continent, and most were proud and aloof, rarely making an appearance.
A King Beast ruled over its own Royal City; they wouldn’t concern themselves with the survival of an insignificant town like this one.
Just as the Beastmen’s hearts were sinking into despair,
A blinding white light suddenly pierced the sky. The murky gray firmament was violently split apart by the radiance, which then exploded outward, sending a terrifyingly powerful wave of Energy shuddering across the entire land.
"It’s a King Beast!"
And it’s the legendary Purification Power, no less.
"It’s the Beast King from the Unicorn King City in the Central Plain! That powerful King Beast who has lived for over a hundred years! Why would he come to our Barbaric Land in the Southwest?!"
In a dim cave, the darkness was pierced by the sudden flash of light. A look of delight appeared on Chi Li’s face as he rose and looked outside. "Ze Sheng..."
’He’s finally here. The world’s only Unicorn King Beast, capable of dealing a devastating blow to Demonic Qi and possessor of the purest Purification Power.’
"The Demon Beasts have been eliminated. Everyone, gather your things. We can return to the city now."
...
The Demon Beasts had been wiped out so completely that not a trace of Demonic Qi remained amidst the city’s ruins. The battle-worn Beastmen hid by the walls, peeking from afar at the sacred figure in the square.
’So this is a King Beast?’
They’d barely seen a handful of High-level Beastmen in their entire lives. To think they would one day see a legendary King Beast with their own eyes?
Song Yi came up behind them and warned in a low voice, "Proud King Beasts don’t like being spied on."
The Beastmen scurried away, abashed.
The first thing Ling Hong did after leaving the battlefield was search the crowd for An Jin. Following a feeling in his heart, he found her in the square—but to his surprise, the legendary King Beast was there as well.
A deep sense of wariness bloomed in his heart.
The allure of a powerful, perfect King Beast was practically irresistible to any female. Although Ling Hong had always revered the strong, he couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of defeat at this moment.
Compared to the legendary, centuries-old King Beast, he was still young. He had more opportunities and trials ahead of him, and he would work hard to one day become the strongest King Beast, able to protect his own mate.

Author’s Notes
1. Why doesn’t the Unicorn have a horn in his human form?
Ze Sheng: It’s too heavy on my forehead, and it doesn’t look good, so I retracted it.
2. Why does the Unicorn also have wings?
Lianzi: I don’t care! The unicorns in My Little Pony have wings, so unicorns have wings!!!
