Chapter 562 - 558: Hatred
Xie Yanran almost spoke with a madness in her tone: "Don’t be foolish, suppressing your Demon Clan bloodline and cultivating like a normal Beastman, weak as anything. Look at me, strengthening my Demon Clan bloodline, cultivating Demon Clan techniques, my power increases rapidly."
"The weak are devoured by the strong; only power allows us to survive."
"Why should the Demon Clan be despised and oppressed? Look, I made Gui Xue return to the Demon Realm, and it has been revived."
"Our Demon Clan will rise and become the supreme of the Beast World once more."
Xie Yanran kept saying these things, not knowing if she was speaking to the ’her’ in her mind or to herself.
She actually had no choice; her father taught her this way.
Because Demon Race Beastmen were despised, oppressed, and slaughtered by Beastmen, few Demon Race Beastmen remain in the world.
To survive, Demon Race Beastmen have to rely on other means.
So her father seduced her mother, the previous Family Head of Xie Family, and then had her.
But because it was a union of Demon Clan and Spirit Beastman bloodlines, she was born a mixed-blood of both clans.
Her body couldn’t withstand the conflict of these two bloodlines; hence at first, she was very weak and unable to awaken her Demon Clan bloodline.
At that time, it was ’her,’ possessing a normal spirit bloodline, existing.
She was weak and kind.
But the Xie Family was fiercely competitive; as long as one was female, one had the right to inherit, even weak, others wanted to harm her.
But her father, a pure-blood Beastman of the Demon Clan, merely looked at ’her’ coldly, disdaining her for being ’weak,’ disdaining her inability to awaken the supreme Demon Clan bloodline.
Though her father didn’t speak much, she could feel it all through his gaze.
So subconsciously, as Xie Yanran, she yearned for power.
Moreover, after her mother discovered her father’s deep-seated indifference and cruelty, she no longer invested any affection in him, divorced him and also disregarded her.
"I have never felt love; only heartlessness can make me stronger."
"She" spoke: "Previously, you didn’t feel love while living in the Xie Family; neither father nor mother treated you well, but Aling truly loved Xie Yanran."
"You can feel his pure and accepting love; you know pure-blood Ice and Snow Beastmen are sincere and passionate, once affectionate, they are unswervingly loyal."
"He disregarded even his life for us, even when he had some doubts about us, he was still willing to risk his life to protect Xie Yanran."
"No one can love Xie Yanran like he does without reservation; you hurt someone who loves you..."
Xie Yanran couldn’t bear these words, she spat out blood again.
"Xie Yanran, look, you feel you don’t regret, believing you are cold-hearted and ruthless enough, but in reality, you will still regret."
Xie Yanran was so weak she collapsed to the ground, clutching her head and said: "Shut up, don’t say it, don’t say it anymore."
"Back then, it was because I was ruthless enough that I survived."
"I want to live, Gui Xue is his son, you know how well I treat Gui Xue."
"She" continued: "That’s not treating him well, that’s controlling him under the guise of what you think is best for him."
"Just like father used the excuse of doing what’s best for us, making us do things he arranged, having no choice."
"But father wanted to see the dark side of you even more."
"The way father treats us, is how you treat Gui Xue."
In fact, when Xie Yanran was young and naïve, she liked a male who was kind to her.
During that vague stage of affection, in her youthful longing phase, her father had someone kill that male.
In hatred, she awakened the dark bloodline.
However, now their father is dead, and there’s no place for that hatred.
It just drives her mad.
"You clearly hate how father treated you and him, but later, you learned father’s methods."
Xie Yanran suddenly screamed loudly, "Ah..."
She couldn’t bear it and screamed, her vision darkened, nearly fainting.
"She" stopped speaking, no longer provoking her, just sighed.
Who knows how much time passed before rustling sounds reached her ears.
When Xie Yanran regained some composure and looked clearly, she saw two large spiders appeared before her.
"You’re here!"
She chose this place because it was Liu Mengyan’s lair.
The spiders transformed into two human shapes, one being Liu Mengyan, the other Liu Mengyan’s subordinate.
This place was her territory, surrounded by dark aura, of course, she could sense it and came out herself to check.
Unexpectedly, it was Master Xie.
Liu Mengyan could hardly believe, said: "Didn’t expect Master Xie could end up looking so miserable."
"Let me guess, did Su Muyao discover your secret?"
This guess arose because Liu Mengyan previously learned through her clone Xia Min that Liu Mengyan was present in the Mortal Beast Continent.
Moreover, with Xie Yanran’s means and ability, ordinary people couldn’t harm her.
Furthermore, she hadn’t returned to the Xie Family, but came here, which explained a lot.
Xie Yanran coldly said: "Stop talking nonsense, take me to your place to heal."
She needed time to heal and recover from her injuries.
Liu Mengyan’s eyes narrowed, she disliked Xie Yanran’s attitude towards her, but the clan members of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land needed to unite with the Dark Beastmen to have a chance to open the Sealing Barrier.
According to news from the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, the Demon Realm has restarted.
Only those with noble Demon Clan bloodlines can revive the Demon Realm, allowing Demon Race Beastmen to return.
According to clan member’s reports, Xie Yanran’s Demon Clan bloodline is not ordinary, though she is mixed-blood.
Especially Nalan Gui Xue who returned to the Nalan Family, awakened an even stronger Demon Clan bloodline.
Although Nalan Gui Xue is mixed-blood, oddly, he could previously be a pure-blood Ice and Snow Spirit Beastman, after awakening the Demon Clan bloodline, he suppressed the pure-blood Ice and Snow Spirit Beast bloodline, almost becoming a pure-blood Demon Clan member.
So even though Xie Yanran looked very weak at the moment, Liu Mengyan didn’t dare do anything to her.
Xie Yanran knew Liu Mengyan and the Insect Clan’s concerns, which is why she dared to come here.
"Follow me!"
In the depths of this dense forest, there were several houses built, Liu Mengyan usually used this place to reside, and arranged her subordinates to carry out tasks.
This place’s terrain was unique, and it was set up with a special barrier array from the Insect Clan, making it nearly impossible for others to find or sense the unique aura here.
As they reached the residence, a fully green insect flew in from a distance.
It fluttered its wings and landed.
Liu Mengyan reached out and took it, communicating with the insect in a low voice.
After a while, Liu Mengyan turned her head to glance at Xie Yanran, sneering: "Xie Yanran, did you know, the Nalan Family arranged for people to enter the Mortal Beast Continent, intending to take your life."
Xie Yanran’s pupils trembled, the Nalan Family, it was Nalan Ling’s family.
Also, one of the top clans with substantial influence on Cang Beast Continent.
If they send someone to kill her, even with all her Secret Technique, she wouldn’t be able to withstand.
She didn’t doubt Liu Mengyan’s words because the insect in her hand was a famous information insect from the Insect Clan, specifically for gathering various messages.
She never underestimated the foundation of the Insect Clan.
"The Nalan Family is the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast Family, Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts place great importance on bloodlines and most detest Demon Race Beastmen."
"And Nalan Gui Xue, having awakened Demon Clan Dark Bloodline, was expelled from the Nalan Family, lowering the Nalan Clan’s reputation."
"Some forces are rallying under the pretense of eradicating Dark Beastmen, banding together to attack the Nalan Family’s Beastmen outside."
"With such circumstances, wouldn’t they hate you?"
