Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 318 - 207: Secret and No Trace of Her Aura
Among the crowd of stunned males, Chi Li’s own expression was one of utter shock. He heard Song Yi mutter softly, "So she’s from the Feather Clan? I don’t remember any of them having such pure white wings..."
"Of course she isn’t from the Feather Clan..." Chi Li’s expression was complicated. His fists, clenched tightly at his sides, were slick with sweat, the knuckles turning white.
A female capable of transforming into a beast form, and one with such large, pure white wings at that... In his memory, there was only one such female—
Ze Sheng’s partner, Wamiya.
But hadn’t she already...
"From the sound of it, you know which race this is?" Mi Yin’s expression turned dangerous, his blood-red, reptilian pupils narrowing as he stared coldly at Chi Li.
The others also turned to Chi Li, their faces filled with curiosity.
But he simply turned his head and smiled, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes. "I have no idea," he said in a light, playful tone. "Did I say something ambiguous? Sorry to give you that impression. I was just making a casual remark."
"This feels so magical! A moment ago, it hurt like hell, then this thing suddenly grew out, and now the pain is gone..." An Jin tried to flap her big wings, which were still a bit unruly. "And I feel so light now, like a bird."
"I want to try flying outside!"
Song Yi said, "I can fly with you. You might not be used to it at first and could crash into trees."
"No." Mi Yin stopped her. "Jin’er, have you forgotten what I said before? Females who can take on a beast form are incredibly rare. I’m not sure I can protect you, so... it’s best if no one else knows."
His personality was usually impulsive and carefree, and he was rarely so hesitant and cautious. But he didn’t want to allow even the slightest possibility of her getting hurt.
The excitement from her successful transformation was doused as if by a bucket of cold water. The happiness in An Jin’s eyes quickly faded. She tried to lift her drooping wings. "If that’s the case, what’s the use of having them? It’s like there’s no difference between having them and not having them..."
"This is only temporary." Mi Yin ruffled her hair.
[Host, Mi Yin is right. Although I also don’t know why this is happening, based on the system’s precise calculations using all available data, it is best not to reveal your identity. Otherwise, you will invite a fatal disaster.]
’A fatal disaster?’
An Jin was instantly on high alert.
[After your successful transformation, your aura has also changed. The store has a potion that can conceal your aura. One bottle costs 500 gold coins and lasts for 5 to 8 months!]
[500 gold coins! You can’t lose, you won’t regret it! A true value for your money, an absolute bargain...]
’So this was all just a sales pitch.’
An Jin was speechless for a moment, then nodded and mentally recited, "Purchase."
With the notification tone of a successful purchase, the potion was temporarily stored in her spatial inventory, as it was inconvenient to take it out with so many people around.
An Jin also retracted her wings.
Last night, the pain had made her cry out, waking all of them. Now, seeing the exhaustion and sleepiness in their eyes, she couldn’t help but feel apologetic.
"Why don’t you... go rest first? I’m so sorry, I didn’t expect what happened last night..."
"It’s fine. I’ll stay and take care of you. You still look very pale," Ling Hong said considerately. He then brought a bowl of steaming brown sugar water from the side room and fed it to her.
Mi Yin nodded with a grim expression, but his mind had already drifted miles away. As a fellow King Beast, he could sense that the energy fluctuation An Jin had just released was at the level of a King Beast.
As the Witch Doctor, it was only right for Chi Li to stay and monitor her condition and recovery.
Seeing there was nothing left for him to do and hearing the commotion outside the castle, Song Yi said to An Jin in a deep voice, "That energy fluctuation was too abrupt. The beastmen in the city must be in an uproar, wondering what happened. I’ll go and disperse the crowd."
"Wait."
An Jin stopped him. "You need to think of a plausible excuse, or someone will definitely get suspicious."
"Just say I had a small accident while absorbing a Beast Crystal, but everything is back to normal now," Mi Yin added immediately.
Song Yi nodded and left.
After just a moment, the commotion outside the castle disappeared. It seemed the crowd had been successfully dispersed.
After confirming there were no other issues with her condition—though she remained somewhat weak—Chi Li prescribed a few medicines and then departed, looking heavily preoccupied.
"That fox is hiding something from us," Mi Yin said coldly, making no effort to hide the malice in his speculation.
Ling Hong also nodded lightly.
"Everyone has their secrets. If he doesn’t want to say it, we shouldn’t force him." An Jin still trusted Chi Li a great deal; she believed he wouldn’t harm her.
Mi Yin immediately set aside his suspicious nature and nodded slightly, his gaze falling on her with worry. "Just focus on resting at home for a while. Don’t go to the school. With the two of us here, you can tell us whatever you want to eat."
"You two should go get busy. I’m really fine!" An Jin blinked, then hopped off the bed and bounced a little, trying to prove how great she felt.
Mi Yin and Ling Hong both smiled, their worries easing considerably at her energetic and lively display.
But Mi Yin couldn’t help but add, "Regardless, rest for the next few days. After all, you’ve been too tired lately..."
They left her with plenty of time to rest and quickly departed—one to cook, the other to handle various matters outside.
But An Jin, lying in bed, couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Her whole body felt like it was brimming with endless energy that she wanted to vent. Full of vigor, she wanted to go out and fly a few laps!
’Hmm, if I can’t fly, it should be fine to just go for a walk, right?’
So, An Jin climbed out of bed and went for a stroll in the nearby woods. She happened to run into a wild boar, and with one punch, the boar was knocked out cold.
Originally, she had just wanted to use the boar to test her reflexes, planning to call for Mi Yin and the others if she couldn’t defeat it. She never imagined she would actually finish it off with a single punch!
An Jin looked at her hands in amazement.
’Since when... have I been this strong?’
Meanwhile, high up in the sky, Ze Sheng—his presence and aura concealed—had been searching the area for a long time. The energy had vanished with astonishing speed, not leaving so much as a trace for him to follow.
After a fruitless search, his gaze finally landed on the forest and on the female who had just killed a wild boar with a single punch.
A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
It was impossible for a female who couldn’t transform to possess such strength and speed.
But her aura was ordinary, just that of a typical Beast World female. It carried neither the aura of a soul from the Otherworld, nor the aura of Wamiya.
Reason told him he should leave immediately, but when he got a clear look at the female’s face, he froze. It was actually the young female City Lord of that city.
"This wild boar... did you hunt it?"
An Jin was very inelegantly dragging the boar by its leg when a clear, pleasant chuckle suddenly sounded from behind her.
She turned her head instinctively.
