Chapter 2 —

Blue Star, Yuejiang City, Kyushu Continent, in an unfinished building on the outskirts, several black-robed men covered in blood aura surrounded a red-haired girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old. They stood ramrod straight as if waiting for something.

"Zhao Leyun, you shameless woman, how dare you have someone harm Brother Feng Ye! After tonight, you spoiled Zhao family girl will be my puppet and obediently serve Brother Feng Ye!"

The voice preceded the person.

A swarm of bats flew in from outside the building, gathering in front of the tightly bound Zhao Leyun, and finally magically coalescing into a petite figure—silver hair, red eyes, and pointed ears. Clearly, the person was a vampire from the Illusionary Continent.

“Emily Marlene?!” Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhao Leyun immediately recognized her—it was her classmate, the princess of the vampire clan from the Illusionary Continent:

“This is the Nine Provinces Continent—our human territory! Even if you are a vampire princess on the Illusionary Continent, here you are just an ordinary student! How dare you lay a hand on me? Aren’t you afraid of incurring the **** of the Zhao family?!”

As the apple of the eye of the Zhao family patriarch in Yuejiang City, Zhao Leyun might have the confidence to speak like this. However, she, who was used to being spoiled, probably hadn’t realized that she was now in a precarious situation, and such arrogance would only arouse the other party’s disdain and resentment. "Invite retaliation? Ridiculous!"

As expected, Emily Marlene scoffed, hooking her chin with her hand and mocking, "The Nine Provinces Continent is vast, and your family is nothing more than a small local bully in a city. You dare to retaliate against this princess? Once I turn you into a seductive garment and have my subordinates wear it to obtain your memories—do you think anyone will notice that there's a different person underneath your skin?"

"You, you madman!" Hearing this, Zhao Leyun turned pale with fright, struggling and cursing, "Jiang Fengye really is a traitor to humanity! I only had someone beat him up, and he actually conspired with you, an alien race, to steal my body and infiltrate us humans!"

"Don't try to intimidate me with that so-called racial conflict!" Hearing Zhao Leyun insult Jiang Fengye, Emily Marlene lowered her hand, her eyes suddenly turning fierce: "Don't try to portray me as despicable as you. I was just repaying Brother Fengye's life-saving grace—on the contrary, you're a useless piece of trash who hasn't awakened your abilities, with strong jealousy and no ability, what right do you have to talk about him who has awakened an S-class spatial ability?"

"You—" Touched by the other party's words, Zhao Leyun was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Zhao Leyun's setback, Emily pressed her advantage: "Also, I heard that your father, Zhao Wenhao, is a perverted pedophile—all the servants he hires are eleven or twelve-year-old girls... Heh, although you're an adult, you look like a child, your perverted father wouldn't have laid a hand on you, would he?"

"No way, what business is it of yours, you alien!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Leyun seemed to have been stimulated, her voice suddenly rising, her teeth clenched tightly. Clearly, the truth wasn't so simple.

"Tch, even if he didn't actually sleep with you, that old bastard definitely did his fair share of touching you!"

"..." Zhao Leyun gritted her teeth, falling silent.

Emily raised an eyebrow mockingly at Zhao Leyun on the ground, then said impatiently, "Alright, I'm not interested in your family's petty squabbles, but I'm very interested in your body—that's enough of what I've said. If we delay any longer, your perverted father will probably send people looking for you."

With that, Emily stepped forward and lifted Zhao Leyun off the ground with her bare hands, then bared her sharp fangs at her neck.

"You, you can't do this! If you take my body, my father will definitely find out! Then he'll definitely investigate and lock you vampires in jail!"

Seeing that the other woman was about to attack without warning, Zhao Leyun immediately began to struggle frantically, swinging left and right. However, as an ordinary person, her struggles were destined to be futile in front of Emily, who possessed the strength of a third-tier superhuman.

"You chatter so noisily—"

Emily glared fiercely at Zhao Leyun, then quickly moved close to the other's neck and bit down mercilessly!

"Ugh!" Zhao Leyun let out a shrill scream, her whole body trembling violently as if she had been electrocuted.

After taking a bite, Emily immediately removed her mouth from Zhao Leyun's neck, disgustedly wiping her mouth with a handkerchief. She said haughtily, "Feel honored. Although you're not the first human I've turned into skin using my secret magic, your skin is meant to serve my dear Feng Ye brother ❤~ If it weren't for your useful identity, I would have had my men suck you dry long ago!"

"It's Jiang Feng Ye again..." After being bitten by Emily, Zhao Leyun collapsed weakly to the ground. Thinking about everything that had happened around her recently, she couldn't help but roar inwardly,

"I really don't understand how Jiang Feng Ye, that poor bastard, has such good luck—not only is he the son-in-law chosen by the Xia family patriarch before his ****, but he also inexplicably saved this vampire princess's life, turning her into a complete simp..."

"On the contrary, so what if I am the apple of the Zhao family's eye! I have been subjected to sexual harassment and all kinds of pressure from my perverted father since I was a child. Ha, if I didn't take advantage of my status to bully others to relieve my pressure, I would probably have gone crazy long ago!"

She roared in her heart while looking at her arm. She could clearly see that her arm was collapsing and shriveling at a visible speed, as if the inside of a cotton coat had been emptied out, leaving only a layer of soft clothing without cotton filling.

She tried to cry for help, but found herself unable to speak. In despair, she could only let out a **** wail from the depths of her heart:

"No, no! I don't want to be turned into human skin and worn by those alien races—I want to personally avenge myself on that beast in human form, Zhao Wenhao! I want to make Jiang Fengye never be able to hold his head up again! Anyone, anyone can save me, anyone will do anything—!!!"

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps her life was spared—as soon as she finished speaking, a portal of light suddenly appeared above Emily's head. Before the surrounding black-robed figures could react or warn her, a ring shimmering with an eerie purple light flew out of the cave, striking Emily squarely on the forehead. "Ugh!" The ring seemed to have traveled with great ****; Emily let out a muffled groan upon being hit, then collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" The black-robed figures around her immediately rushed forward—two to check on Emily, and two to keep a watchful eye on the ring lying on the ground and the light hole that had just appeared and vanished into thin air.

"Hiss—I'm fine." Supported by the two black-robed figures, Emily slowly stood up, rubbing her forehead with concern as she subconsciously looked at the ring on the ground: "What just happened? Did this thing hit me?"

"Your Highness, there's no one else around. We can rule out an ambush." ​​The black-robed figure on guard reported, also mentioning the appearance of the light hole.

"Your Highness, this ring…it doesn't look like an ordinary object." Another black-robed figure carefully bent down, picked up the ring, and handed it to Emily. In the twilight's afterglow, the eerie purple light on the ring flickered in the dim, abandoned building, trembling slightly as if alive.

Emily didn't touch the ring, but instead circled it, examining it closely. "This ring...it looks like a high-grade storage ring crafted by a master artisan. Even my father doesn't have many of these."

Looking at the ring, Emily thought of the precious storage rings her father, the Vampire King Ilmin Marlene, always wore.

A man in black robes glanced at the ring, then at Zhao Leyun lying on the ground, her face filled with resentment. He speculated, "The portal just now was too strange. It resembled that extremely dangerous Beast Rift, but apart from a ring emerging from it, no evil beasts were seen crawling out."

The Beast Rift the black-robed man referred to was a "natural disaster" that had plagued humans and other races for nearly a century. It appeared randomly, and each appearance signified an impending bloody massacre.

The Beast Rift tears open the veil of reality, spewing forth countless bizarre and powerful twisted creatures from unknown dimensions. These twisted creatures belong to none of the currently known species; they are extremely aggressive, annihilating or preying on humans, other races, and even animals alike, collectively known as "Evil Beasts."

Emily rubbed the red swelling on her forehead, narrowing her crimson pupils, staring at the ring again for a moment. Her nostrils twitched slightly as she sniffed the unusually unfamiliar scent emanating from the ring, and she couldn't help but frown:

"Perhaps. The energy aura on this ring is very unfamiliar; I've never encountered it before… It must indeed come from another world, perhaps the world where the Evil Beasts reside?"
