After Lan Yan fainted from a headache, she woke up again to find herself lying in a cave.
She looked around, and outside the cave, a palace was suspended in mid-air. Many people were standing on swords, dressed with an ethereal air, and a character "灵" was carved onto their sleeves.
My goodness, what new world had she arrived in this time!
Just then, a low growl came from behind her. The growl was filled with a sense of brokenness. She turned her head and saw a male "person" chained behind her.
The "person's" face was covered in blood, making it impossible to see his true features. He had two horns on his head, one of which was broken in half. Moreover, he had a pair of wings behind him, but they were tattered and torn, with several holes in them.
His collarbones were clamped by two large hooks, which were connected to chains that bound his hands and feet to the wall behind him. The wall was also adorned with strange patterns, and with each flicker, the chained person would furrow his brow a little more.
Going by her intuition, this must be her target, Jun Yelan.
This time, she had transmigrated into a disciple of a cultivation sect, the strongest beast tamer at that. The person in front of her was an ancient mythical beast, who had previously been besieged by the cultivation sects. Using ancient artifacts as sacrifices, they had imprisoned him here and sent her to tame him.
"This is truly sinful!" she couldn't help but exclaim her thoughts aloud. The person in front of her raised his head slightly.
Jun Yelan stared at Lan Yan, and as Lan Yan froze, he let out another roar from his throat. This roar seemed to use all his strength, followed by blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with ferocity.
Lan Yan could also tell that Jun Yelan detested her, but she had a mission to complete. She wanted to approach Jun Yelan and walked forward, only to be blocked by an invisible wall.
She held her forehead. This was a restriction set by the original host's master, preventing anyone from approaching Jun Yelan. It was said that although Jun Yelan was chained, he was still a mythical beast and full of danger.
Seeing the blood on Jun Yelan increasing, she remembered the storage pouch the original host wore. She quickly rummaged through it, finding only small whips, sticks, and chains.
"What are all these things! Found it." She searched to the very back and finally found a spirit herb, which she tossed towards the barrier in front of her.
However, the spirit herb landed about ten paces in front of Jun Yelan.
Lan Yan immediately cried out, "My luck!" She could only sigh. Looking up, she saw Jun Yelan still staring at her and gave an awkward smile, "Um, this spirit herb is for you, but I don't have enough strength."
Fearing Jun Yelan would misunderstand, she explained further, "I'm just here to give you medicine and have no ill intentions towards you." Although the original host did, she couldn't say that now.
Jun Yelan's gaze shifted back to the spirit herb on the ground, and he let out another roar. The blood he coughed up landed on the spirit herb.
These so-called cultivators were all bad people! They had taken his horns and wings to refine medicine, and now they were plotting wicked schemes!
Seeing Jun Yelan grow weaker, Lan Yan called out, "Wait, don't get angry yet. That spirit herb is the only one I have, so don't waste it. You're already like this, and harming you wouldn't do me any good. Why don't you try?"
Fearing that Jun Yelan was holding back because she was present, she turned around and sat down against the wall, muttering, "Jun Yelan, in the stories I've heard, there were tales of enduring hardship for revenge and turning defeat into victory."
"So please don't give up, you can definitely leave here."
But these words fell on Jun Yelan's ears like silent wind. His ears had been injured by these cultivators, rendering him unable to hear anything. He could only see the woman in front of him talking incessantly.
He frowned, his gaze falling on the spirit herb again. He tugged at the chains on the wall, activated his palm, and the spirit herb instantly came into his hand. He put it into his mouth with difficulty, and his throat immediately stopped bleeding.
As he was chewing, he saw Lan Yan turn her head and quickly averted his gaze.
Lan Yan chuckled, not exposing him. Seeing that Jun Yelan had closed his eyes, presumably to rest, she called out, "Well then, Jun Yelan, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
She put away the things she had tossed out of the storage pouch earlier, patted the pouch, and walked briskly towards the outside of the cave.
A young man in sect robes suddenly appeared outside the cave and shouted at her, "Senior Sister, you're finally out."
Lan Yan patted her chest. This person was even more energetic than herself. He was Lin Qian, the original host's junior brother. She maintained the original host's cool demeanor and coughed twice, saying, "I chatted with him for a while longer."
Lin Qian's face showed surprise. "Senior Sister, are you not feeling well? That mythical beast's hearing is damaged, he can't hear any sounds." Strange, Senior Sister usually didn't have so much patience; she would directly use an artifact to make the beast submit.
"He can't hear!" Lan Yan froze on the spot. The thought that all her talking earlier was in vain made her feel dejected. "Ah, all my efforts were for nothing."
She drooped her head and walked towards her room.
Seeing her so dejected, Lin Qian behind her called out firmly, "It must be because the mythical beast is too difficult, that's why Senior Sister is like this. Senior Sister, I believe you can do it."
Lan Yan waved her hand behind her and walked back to her room dejectedly. She immediately summoned the system and cried out, "System, you must have a grudge against me, otherwise why would you always give me such difficult tasks?"
System: "Host, you are mistaken. Because your abilities are strong, the difficulty of the task has increased. You don't need to worry too much. Although you are currently a beast tamer and Jun Yelan is a mythical beast who cannot hear, you can think of other ways."
Lan Yan was speechless. She sat at the table, propping her chin with one hand. "You also only revealed a part of it, and I still can't touch Jun Yelan." She needed to think of a good way to communicate with Jun Yelan.
System: "Host, the original host was the strongest beast tamer, she must have collected many good things. Why don't you go look for them?"
"Heh, you've finally offered a suggestion." Lan Yan got up and walked towards the cabinet. As soon as she opened it, she was almost blinded by the brightness. Half of the cabinet was filled with various shaped artifacts used for taming beasts.
In the corner lay a box, containing various spirit herbs, which were the rewards the original host received after taming beasts. She took out the box and put all the spirit herbs inside into her pouch, smiling, "These should be enough for Jun Yelan to heal."
"However, to heal his hearing, a special spirit herb called Phoenix Grass is needed. In the original host's memories, this grass was given by the Sect Leader to his daughter, Xiao Lingling. It seems I need to think of a way to retrieve that spirit herb."
System: "Congratulations to the Host for coming up with a brilliant plan. Please continue to work hard in this new world, I am logging off."
"Wait." Lan Yan called out to the system, remembering something else. "In the last world, I had a terrible headache when I left, and some memories remained. Now my headache is gone, what about the memories?"
The system was instantly speechless. Last time, the host almost discovered the truth. He quickly brought the host to the new world, thus avoiding the situation of memory confusion. "Host, that was just a side effect, please do not worry."
With that said, he logged off immediately.
Lan Yan called out a few times but received no response. She raised her fist and said, "This damned system, I'll settle with you sooner or later." She then lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next morning, on her way to see Jun Yelan, a person suddenly appeared and blocked her path.
