12 Dragon and Phoenix 1 (1/2)

”Soul transfer was a success. Downloading soul data. Please wait.”

The voice of the system echoed in the darkness, and before long Yin Mei opened her eyes. Thank god it was a success! She would seriously cry if she ended up failing and had to go to the punishment world after struggling for so long to complete the mission here. But, this was just the first step of things. She needed to thoroughly prepare to aid the demon king to the dragon throne, only then could she consider the mission done.

Information poured into her head as she fully regained her consciousness. She could feel that she was on a high quality bed, and the decorations around her were even more luxurious than before, and it was a turn around from the dark gloomy toned demon king's palace, instead decorated with beautiful golds and bright reds.

Sitting up, Yin Mei only felt that words couldn't describe how beautiful the room was. She felt that only the beauty of the demon king could match it. If he was placed inside this room, it would immediately become a hundred times more glamorous and beautiful of a scene.

She took her mind off of that, moving on to review the information.

This was the upper realm, ruled by the Jade Emperor. Under the Jade Emperor, there were still kings such as the dragon king, the demon king, the beast king, and etc. The mission was to have the demon king become the dragon king.

But, the problem was, was that the dragon king was a title passed down through blood lineage. There was no way that it would go to a serpent that had become a dragon by passing through the dragon gate without some serious work.

But, not only that... it seemed that Yin Mei discovered what the system met by ”new” plot. She didn't know the exact reason why, but this upper realm had its very own brand new male and female leads. Yin Mei felt murderous intentions rising, as she wanted to punch the system, if only he was a solid object and not a floating orb of light.

That's right, she would not only have to help the demon king obtain the dragon throne, she would also have to deal with the male and female leads. Especially since both of them were smack in the middle of the route to victory, blocking the way splendidly.

The main obstacle was, once again, the male lead. The male lead was the prince of the dragon clan, Long Aotian, and was the general of the Jade Emperor's army. He was the number one most desired man in the upper realm, but his heart was stolen by some insignificant member of the medicine king's clan. This girl didn't have outstanding medical talent, nor did she have country destroying beauty. Her talent in medicine could be said to be passable, and her looks could be said to be delicate and pretty, but she was by far not the most beautiful girl in the realm. At least she wasn't another transmigrated something or another, or Yin Mei might have thrown a fit.

Anyways, why had Long Aotian fallen for her?

It was because after a long battle with the devils at the devil's seal near the edges of the upper realm, Long Aotian had been fatally injured. The one to find him and nurse him back to health was the girl, Yao Ling. Don't ask Yin Mei what she had been doing there in the first place, these sort of plot holes were always just lightly skimmed over.

Anyways, Long Aotian had been moved by Yao Ling's constant dedication and white lotus personality, falling in love with her and bringing her back home to declare that he would marry her.

This brought not only the outrage of the dragon clan, but also that of the phoenix clan, whose little princess was in a marriage agreement with Long Aotian.

As for that supposed little princess, that was in fact that body that Yin Mei was now inhabiting, Feng Hua. Feng Hua was the youngest daughter of the phoenix clan, and the only new child born in thousands of years. Because of this, she was especially spoiled and doted on. The phoenix was already a very vain and proud beast, so it resulted in Feng Hua becoming even more proud and vain. When she heard that her fiancé, Long Aotian, had actually broken their engagement for some no name girl, she was immediately outraged and set out to sort them both out.

Alas, Feng Hua didn't have the protagonist's aura, so she ended up defeated and humiliated at every turn, dying under the hands of the devil invasion after some underhanded tricks by Long Aotian (although phoenixes are immortal to an extent, they can be killed by devils).

”The next dragon king is my fiancé?” Yin Mei immediately made an expression of distaste. Not only that, but he was a bastard that would cheat on her before marriage, and still maintain that righteous position as if he wasn't in the wrong. Yin Mei could only solemnly say... all cheaters deserved to die!

It was too bad that the period in which Long Aotian was fatally injured and doing XX and OO with that Yao Ling was already over, so Yin Mei couldn't take the opportunity to strike when the enemy was down. She didn't realize just how vicious her thoughts had gotten after spending several years in this xianxia world, only taking killing the male lead as the natural course of action now.

But, things probably wouldn't go as easy as in the lower realm in this case. Everyone here had great power, and Long Aotian was the only son of the dragon clan. There was no way they would let things go if their heir was killed. Plus, if someone that high up died, the powerful Jade Emperor would personally take action against the criminal.

Yin Mei could only abandon such thoughts. But, if the dragon clan didn't perish, how else could the demon king ascend the dragon throne?

”What do I do...?” Killing the male lead wasn't an option, killing the entire dragon clan was even less of an option... there was no solution that Yin Mei could see.

And, the mission this time was just the main mission. There was no first mission to help give Yin Mei clues on how to proceed.
