The man had long, golden hair that shimmered as it pooled on the ground. He wore a white robe, and his appearance was fair and handsome. His eyes were at half-mast as he looked at Xue Ling, his expression and movements extremely gentle, but Xue Ling inexplicably felt that the person in front of him was a little cruel.

The system trembled in his mind and informed him, “Host, let me tell you an unfortunate piece of news. I just detected the power of one of your tails on this person…”

Xue Ling: “…” Couldn’t the system just stop talking? He now wanted to hit something every time it opened its mouth!

“Why didn’t you come in with your human form? You are very welcome here.” The man ignored Xue Ling’s struggling, restrained his four legs, and forcibly carried him into the castle.

“Let me go!” Once his demonic core had been restored, Xue Ling was once again able to speak. His four paws had been locked in place, and there was nothing he could do, so he glared at the man to express his anger.

“Don’t struggle, and don’t look at me like that.” The man freed up a hand and pinched Xue Ling’s nape, making his entire wolf body tremble. “I don’t like disobedient little things very much. You probably don’t want to experience the pain of having your demonic core destroyed again, so behave. Understood?”

Xue Ling: “…” This man… Why did he seem so wrong in this world… The original text said that the Beast God was a very gentle person, and because he stayed in the inner layer of the Demonic Beast Forest all year round, he was very lonely. Ivan’s arrival had given him a brand-new outlook on the future, which was why he came to love Ivan. But the man in front of him seemed to have turned rather dark…

“It should be because he was affected by your tail’s power. Your power does not belong to the world, and now that he has this power in his body, he has become an existence that can stand side by side with the heavens. The will of the world has no way to control him, and as time goes on, he will have realized that this world is not right. I had wondered before about why this world’s settings involved the fall of gods. If it had been set up this way so that Ivan could become a god, it would make sense. But even by the end of the story, Ivan had still not recovered, so there was no way that would happen… The author did not explain too much about the settings, but based on the present situation, this world’s settings might have been caused by the world itself, and is very likely to be related to the person in front of you.”

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. “What kind of influence did my power have when it entered his body?”

“It seems to have caused a slight change in his personality, and affected the sentiment between the two of you…”

“Sentiment?”

“Well. Normally, he should fall in love with you at first sight and then dance in the palm of your hand the way he did in the previous worlds~”

“What’s abnormal then? Didn’t he fall in love with me and then toss me straight into the Sacred Pool to stew?”

“No… He might have fallen in love at first sight and then planned to lock you up and fuck you for a lifetime?” The system was uncertain. It hesitated for a moment, then carefully continued, “After all, doesn’t he look scary right now?”

“Do I look scary right now?” Xue Ling’s voice carried a trace of amusement. The system discreetly retreated and did not dare to speak again.

Xue Ling looked up at the man thoughtfully, and met his gaze when he looked his way. He considered it, then blinked and tried to make the expression on his face a little cuter. “Where are you taking me? And… Who are you…?”

It was probably a good idea to confirm the man’s identity in this world again. The current situation was indeed beyond Xue Ling’s control. The system had not discovered that this world had been affected by the power in Xue Ling’s tail before they entered, and his tail had now suddenly shown up. Perhaps it had been suppressed by the man’s own power, which was why the system had no way to sense it until they came close.

“You can call me ‘Xi’. I am the only God that still remains in this world.” Xi did not have any intention of concealing his own identity. When he saw that Xue Ling had calmed down, he also loosened the hand that was restraining Xue Ling’s body and cuddled him gently against his chest. “For the time being, don’t change into your human form as your body is too weak. If you want to make further progress, you’ll need to soak in the pool every day for the next half-month. Only in this way will you be able to obtain a demigod’s body.”

Xue Ling was at a loss for a moment, “I didn’t want to become a demigod…”

When the man stopped his steps, Xue Ling thought he was going to stop and teach him a lesson. Instead, he turned around and opened the door in front of him.

Every door in the castle looked exactly the same, and Xue Ling couldn’t figure out what Xi relied on to distinguish what lay behind each door. Everything that Xue Ling saw on the way over looked mostly the same, and if he were to walk this way by himself, he would probably have gotten lost.

The man entered the room, and the scene before Xue Ling’s eyes suddenly changed. Compared with the cold exterior, the decoration in this room was obviously more personalized and at least looked more welcoming. The man placed Xue Ling on top of the big bed in the room, then watched as Xue Ling shifted his legs to stand up and silently reached out a hand, pressed down on his back, and pushed the little wolf cub back down.
