Chapter 7: Lu Ruxin Astonished

"Alright." Lu Ruxin continued to watch the fierce battle from the wall. The lion gained the upper hand again, leaving deep blood marks on the bull's body with its razor-sharp claws.

The bull's eyes turned crimson, realizing it couldn't defeat the lion. Attempting to escape, it was swiftly tackled by the lion. The lion began tearing into its flesh, ending the bull's life.

As the battle concluded, the lion transformed into a handsome man right on the spot – over six feet tall, with a model-like physique. He had golden tousled hair, two standing hairs on his head, a well-defined face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a prominent nose, slightly thick red lips, and a slightly open collar revealing a glimpse of sensual skin.

His clothes were a bit tight, hinting at the muscular build underneath. He exuded a natural nobility, as if he were the ruler of the world, inspiring awe.

The golden lion produced a handkerchief, wiping the blood off his mouth and hands. Lu Ruxin couldn't help but be captivated by his long, powerful fingers, forgetting her fear.

"Why hasn't this handsome guy made his debut? He would definitely overshadow all the young idols. I'm not one to judge based on looks, but he naturally drew me in," Lu Ruxin thought.

Suddenly, his sharp gaze swept toward Lu Ruxin's hidden location. Lu Ruxin felt like her throat was being squeezed.

"Quick, run, or you'll be discovered."

Snap out of her trance, Lu Ruxin held her breath and sprinted away. After running a considerable distance, she dared to breathe again, murmuring, "That was so dangerous. I almost got caught. Why did the lion turn into a person? Aren't animals forbidden to evolve after the founding of the country?"

Not only was Lu Ruxin catching her breath, but Xiaomengmeng also trembled, saying, "Terrifying. The aura of this beast person is too powerful. I risked my life protecting you; otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped."

"Xiaomengmeng, is this creature called a beast person? Seems quite formidable."

"When encountering a beast person of this level, you must escape. Well, encountering such high-level beast persons is rare."

"Xiaomengmeng, you haven't answered my question. What's the deal with that beast person? Will I have to face them in the future? The bull with long spikes seemed quite powerful?"

Taking a moment, Xiaomengmeng explained, "Let me educate you. Beast persons are evolved demonic beasts. Some demonic beasts can't evolve and become the lowest level of the food chain, like that bull. There are also half-beast persons who evolved halfway. Their strength is inferior to beast persons. Generally, when we hunt demonic beasts, it's those that haven't evolved, known for preying on humans. Sometimes, we need to eliminate some evil beast persons, those with sentience but nefarious intentions. To cut it short, go deal with the lowest-level demonic beasts first and activate the learning system. The bull earlier was just a low-level demonic beast, though the boss among them. You can handle it in the future."

Lu Ruxin slowly stood up. "Take me to find some low-level demonic beasts. What level does that lion belong to? Do beast persons also have demon crystals?"

"They do have demon crystals, but it's rare to hunt beast persons. That lion is formidable. Don't challenge him. Judging by your infatuation earlier, I'm more worried you'd pounce on him."

Lu Ruxin walked leisurely into the alley. "I did want to pounce, but I dare not. Forget what I said about touching the lion's fur. I want to live a few more years; the bull died too tragically."

The big lion on the other side paid no attention to Lu Ruxin's escape, finishing off the demonic beast, using its claws to open the creature's belly, searching for the demon crystal.
