Chapter 274 The visitor is not friendly.
The scene before them was incredibly impactful.
Even though they had received a premonition from Xue Youyou, the sheer absurdity that overwhelmed everyone when they actually saw the Marquis of Purgatory and the Marquis of Nine Netherworlds prostrating themselves at the feet of that strange girl still made them gasp for breath.
The feeling was like two majestic mountains that I had looked up to since childhood were suddenly molded into two inconspicuous lumps of earth like clay.
One Duke and Four Marquises—that was the supreme existence in the hearts of all Beast Tamers in Yuelan Prefecture. It was a symbol of order, a benchmark of power, and a goal that these students dreamed of reaching.
But now, these two role models are kneeling on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the cold moonlight, looking even weaker, more pitiful, and more helpless than a little girl who has made a mistake.
"This...this really is..."
Su Wanrou's voice seemed to be stuck in something. She swallowed hard, but found her throat was extremely dry.
No one answered her. Because everyone's reaction was similar—mouth agape, eyes wide, mind blank.
Only Xue Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but hum softly to herself.
"Hmph, even gods can't escape my calculations!"
She naturally didn't know any breast-observation techniques; she was simply making a simple perspective-taking based on the information she already had.
If she were that heroine, she would probably do the same.
After all, the best and most direct way to demonstrate divine power is to shatter the strongest figure who originally stood in people's hearts.
The impact of a new king ascending the throne and the old king kneeling on the steps is far more powerful than any lengthy declaration.
Combined with Meng Tianxiang's account of her experience last night, all this information leads to only one conclusion—as long as the Hero King girl isn't stupid, she will make good use of Lin Yan and Manzhu by her side.
Of course, Xue Youyou also admitted that there was an element of gambling in her words.
But that's just her personality.
I just like to take small risks from time to time.
If she gets it, she'll feel good for several minutes.
Xue Youyou's lips curled up slightly, less than a millimeter, before she quickly suppressed it again. She maintained her calm and composed expression, as if everything happening on the screen was within her expectations and not worth making a fuss about.
Only she knows how happy she felt.
It's installed! It's installed for her again!
After a brief moment of smugness, Xue Youyou's gaze returned to the screen, landing on the girl lounging on the throne of the star debris. Her expression shifted from smugness to pure curiosity and scrutiny.
The person before her was undoubtedly the girl who had guided her in the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts.
That mysterious girl, barefoot, dressed in extremely revealing ancient clothing, with a somewhat sly smile.
She had once given her directions in the corridor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts, speaking in a light and airy tone, completely unlike a staff member of the Alliance. At that time, Xue Youyou only felt that she was a little strange, but she never expected that she was actually the one Meng Tianxiang had mentioned—the hero from the ancient era of Yue Lanzhou.
Xue Youyou still remembered the story Meng Tianxiang had told her a few days ago.
That was the first time she entered the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Meng Tianxiang inexplicably handcuffed her, saying that the ancient heroes of Yuelanzhou once wore these mithril handcuffs and stood up in the dark ages, leading humanity to rebel against the beasts that ruled everything, ending the long era that was later called the "Dark Age".
"This is a relic of our ancestors. We are having you wear it so that you can emulate them."
Meng Tianxiang said this in a solemn and dignified tone, as if she were performing some kind of sacred inheritance ceremony.
Xue Youyou was quite touched at the time.
But now—
Xue Youyou stared at the "sage" on the screen, who was lazily swinging his toes and almost stuffing them into Lin Yan and Manzhu's mouths, and only one thought came to her mind.
Is this the "sage" from the past?
Her lips twitched uncontrollably, and she felt that the awe she had felt at the beginning was now crumbling in an extremely absurd way.
The other party's appearance was completely unrelated to the words "virtuous" and "hero".
Look at her now—leaning back on the throne, one hand lazily twirling her hair, the other casually resting on the armrest, legs crossed, bare feet swinging in the air.
Those two delicate white feet swayed wildly, almost brushing against the faces of Lin Yan and Manzhu, who were kneeling on either side of the throne, several times.
Whenever her toes passed in front of Lin Yan or Manzhu, both of them would lower their heads even further, their noses almost touching the flowing moonlight liquid on the ground.
Xue Youyou watched this scene, her urge to complain almost bursting out of her skull.
Is this the hero who ended the Dark Ages? Is this the sage who led humanity in rebellion against the rule of beast beasts? Is this the role model that Meng Tianxiang spoke of, one that "all beast tamers should learn from"?
This is clearly a major villain!
And she's the kind who really knows how to put on airs!
This elaborate and smooth display doesn't seem like something a respectable person would do.
Finally, perhaps sensing that all the eyes of all living beings in Yuelan Prefecture had been focused on her, the Hero King girl stopped her swaying feet.
She slightly raised her head, her dark golden eyes piercing through the barrier of the screen and the barrier of space, as if, in that instant, she was looking directly at every beast tamer in Yue Lanzhou who was looking up at the screen.
There was no hostility, nor goodwill, in that gaze. There was only a condescending, nonchalant look, as if he were observing an ant.
Then, she spoke.
The sound wasn't loud, yet it seemed to resonate simultaneously on every screen, every wristband, every television, and every large street screen. Without any electronic processing, it struck the deepest recesses of every listener's mind, as if someone had gently tapped their soul with their fingertips.
"The people of Yuelan Prefecture must have many questions in their hearts now."
Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Let me explain it to you."
Everyone in the room held their breath.
Su Wanrou gripped Meng Yanqing's sleeve tightly, Lu Yutang's hands were clasped tightly in front of her chest, and Cui Yelan leaned against the television, having forgotten that he had just been questioning Xue Youyou. His gaze was fixed on the screen, and the figure on the throne was reflected deep in his pupils.
Lu Yuan opened her mouth, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but she couldn't make a sound.
"First, about who I am—"
The Hero King girl paused, raised her hand, and gently tapped her finger in the air.
A golden ripple spread from her fingertips, across the screen, across space, and landed on the hearts of everyone watching the live stream.
"I am the chosen beast tamer of the gods, and also a hero of mankind."
