Mo Xiao couldnât be bothered to respond to Xuanyuan Shen.
Without another word, he broke the iron rope on Annaâs body and hugged her.
Only then did Mo Xiao turn around and say to Xuanyuan Shen, âXuanyuan Shen, you know very well whether Anna is a fiendish cultivator or not. You seem anxious to get rid of her. Do you really think no one knows what youâre planning?â
An apprehensive look flashed across Xuanyuan Shenâs eyes. He straightened his neck and said in a rough voice, âAnna awakened her demonic beast form, the Mutated Devouring Beast, and even cruelly devoured the spiritual power of three of Xuanyuan Clanâs guest elders, causing them to die one after another! Grand State Master, I have surveillance camera footage as evidence. How can she get away with this?!â
Mo Xiao sneered. âIt was Su Xuanye who caused Anna to lose control. Instead of fighting Su Xuanye to the death, you brought a group of righteous people here to attack a little girl. What is this?â
Mo Xiao turned around and looked at Liao Xingzhi and the others.
Under Mo Xiaoâs gaze, this group of people lowered their heads in shame.
Mo Xiao bent down and picked Anna up. He said, âFrom now on, I will be Annaâs guardian. If Anna dares to devour the lives of innocent people again, I will personally⦠crush her bones and scatter her ashes!â
Xuanyuan Shen only frowned and lowered his head unwillingly.
Mo Xiao continued, âHowever, as long as Anna hasnât become a demon, as long as Iâm still alive, if anyone dares to bully Anna under my watch, I wonât let him off easily!â With that, the Grand State Master carried Anna and flew into the forest before taking the Icy Night T-Rex away.
Xuanyuan Shen stared solemnly in the direction where the Grand State Master had left. He gritted his teeth and could only return in disappointment.

After failing to subdue the demon, Xuanyuan Shen returned to the Xuanyuan Clan dejectedly. The moment he entered his room, he saw an illusory man standing in the room.
Seeing that man, Xuanyuan Shen immediately knelt down on one knee without a word and said in fear and trepidation, âMy lord, I failed my mission. The Grand State Master Mo Xiao suddenly appeared and saved that fiendish cultivator!â
âTrash!â The man flung his sleeve and Xuanyuan Shen was immediately sent flying against the door frame.
Xuanyuan Shen fell to the ground and got up on all fours. He knelt on the ground and tried his best to get his forehead closer to the ground to show his loyalty.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the manâs feet move. Only then did Xuanyuan Shen carefully raise his head. Just as he saw the manâs featureless face, Xuanyuan Shen lowered his head in fear again and didnât dare to make a sound.
The man had no facial features, but he could speak in a human voice. He said, âEveryone thinks that the Mutated Devouring Beast is a demonic beast, but they donât know that itâs actually a divine beast form! The Mutated Devouring Beast can use everything in the world as nourishment, be it spiritual power, magic power, or poisonous gas. As long as everything in the world enters its body, it can automatically transform into an energy body and absorb it.â
âThe Mutated Devouring Beast is the same as the Eternal Eye. They are both the lifeline left by the heavens in the human world. What a joke. Everyone in the world actually treats such a holy object as a demonic beast form! Hahaha, what a bunch of ignorant country bumpkins!â
What?
The Mutated Devouring Beast was actually a divine beast form?
No wonder he had repeatedly requested he capture Anna alive. It turned out that he had designs on Annaâs beast form!
âBut, my lord.â Xuanyuan Shen had to be careful every time he spoke to this lord. He asked in fear and trepidation, âEven if that girlâs beast form is a divine beast form, thatâs still her beast form. Could it be that you can snatch her beast form and use it for yourself?â
âHeh! Beast forms only recognize one master in their lives. How can I snatch it away?â The faceless man let out a vicious laugh. He said, âAlthough I canât directly snatch her beast form, I can tame her into my puppet and let her help me complete my revival!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut youâ¦â The faceless man lowered his eyes and âlookedâ at Xuanyuan Shen. He shook his head in disappointment and said in disdain,â Youâre useless. Get lost! â
Xuanyuan Shen immediately rolled on the ground twice before swiftly opening the door and slipping out.
Xuanyuan Shen only heaved a sigh of relief when he stood under the sun and breathed in the fresh air. He felt ecstatic, as if he had survived a calamity.
Xuanyuan Shen stood on the lawn and glanced back at his room. When he thought of the faceless man in the room, he shook his shoulders in fear.
He had met this faceless man when he was participating in the Saint Tomb when he was young. At that time, the man called himself the heavens. Xuanyuan Shen really thought that he was the chosen one who had become the darling of the heavens. He foolishly formed a contract with the heavens and fantasized that he could become the strongest person in the Holy Spirit Continent.
Later, as they interacted more and more, Xuanyuan Shen realized that this person wasnât the heavens, but Satan!

When Anna woke up, she was lying in a guest room in Yu Huang and Sheng Xiaoâs villa.
She opened her eyes and saw the clean room. She was in a daze for a while before she remembered the details of the battle.
Her mother was dead, and she and the T-Rex were taken away by the Grand State Master.
T-Rex!
Anna was concerned about the T-Rexâs situation. She quickly lifted the blanket on her body and sat up to look for the Icy Night T-Rex.
Anna slid off the bed barefooted and saw a pair of rabbit-shaped open-toed slippers by the bed. Her movements instantly slowed down. Not many people knew what she liked. Other than her mentor, there was only Yu Huang.
Could she be in Yu Huangâs house?
Anna looked down at the pajamas she was wearing and realized that she was wearing a cotton-collared pajamas with a big white rabbit printed on it. The pajamas were in the size 160. It was obvious that they had been specially bought for her.
Anna suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. As she smiled, her eyes couldnât help but turn red.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and the door handle was turned. Anna turned around and looked at the door, and saw Yu Huang standing under the door frame.
Yu Huang was wearing a sports bra. Her long legs were wrapped in a pair of military green work pants. Her abs were hidden under the waist of her pants, and her good figure was discernible. She was wearing a pair of military green fingerless gloves on her hands. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was a green headband on her forehead. She looked valiant, cool, and beautiful.
Yu Huang had just finished practicing shooting in the basement. She was going upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. When she passed by the guest room on the second floor, she came to see Anna.
Seeing that Anna was awake, Yu Huang smiled.
âAnna, youâre awake.â
Yu Huang was about to walk towards Anna when she saw Anna jump onto the bed quickly. Then, she jumped towards her from the bed.
Yu Huang was shocked. âBe careful. Youâre still injured!â
Anna spread her legs and hung onto Yu Huangâs waist like a child. She hugged Yu Huangâs neck tightly and called her name while sobbing. âYu Huang!â
After shouting, Anna cried.
The strange experience during this period of time had really frightened Anna. When she finally saw her good friend, Anna finally relaxed. She couldnât control her emotions and hugged Yu Huang while crying.
Yu Huang hugged Annaâs butt with one hand and patted the back of Annaâs head with the other. âStop crying. Youâre already safe. In the future, no one will dare to bully you!â
âYes!â
Annaâs snot and tears were rubbed against Yu Huangâs neck, but neither of them cared about these small details.
After the calamity, they reunited. This made them cherish this friendship even more.
Sheng Xiao walked up from downstairs with a delivery box in his hand. He coughed when he saw Yu Huang and Anna hugging each other affectionately.
âCough.â
Anna blushed when she heard Sheng Xiaoâs cough. She quickly jumped off Yu Huang.
Anna wiped her tears and snot and bowed to Sheng Xiao. âHello, Professor Sheng!â In Annaâs heart, Sheng Xiao would always be the discipline professor of Divine Realm Academy. She had to greet him.
Sheng Xiao looked at Anna with some affection.
Back then, he and Yu Huang had brought this child back from the Broken Cliff. At that time, he had even joked that they were like a family of three. Now that the three of them were standing together, the feeling that they were a family of three became even stronger.
Sheng Xiao walked over with the delivery box in one hand and rubbed Annaâs hair with the other.
Anna, who was 158 centimeters tall, stood in front of Sheng Xiao, who was almost two meters tall. She only reached Sheng Xiaoâs chest. He could touch her head with his arm.
Anna was flattered when Sheng Xiao touched her head.
Sheng Xiao sighed in relief. âItâs good that youâre back. You can stay here from now on. You must have been tired. Rest well.â
Anna knew how bad her reputation was now. Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang daring to take her in at this time was the greatest kindness.
Anna wanted to cry again, but she knew that Sheng Xiao hated girls crying the most. She tried her best to hold back her tears. âThank you!â
Yu Huang patted Annaâs face. âDonât mention it. Weâre good friends!â
âYes.â
âBy the way, the class monitor, Vivian, and the others will start school the day after tomorrow. They heard that youâre injured and not feeling well, so they decided to come to Jingdu to visit you a day early.â Yu Huang looked at the time on her watch and said to Anna, âTheyâll be here in about two hours. Weâll eat hotpot together at noon. Of course, you can only eat porridge.â
â⦠Okay.â
Anna was extremely anxious when she didnât hear about the situation of the Icy Night T-Rex.
Anna could no longer hold it in. She grabbed Yu Huangâs hand and asked anxiously, âYu Huang, my T-Rexâ¦â After a pause, Anna said,â Whereâs the little T-Rex? Is the little T-Rex still alive? â
Hearing this, Yu Huang revealed an ambiguous smile. âI thought you could hold it in for a while longer. You finally remembered your T-Rex.â
Yu Huang pointed at the pool downstairs and said, âThe T-Rex is seriously injured and needs to stay in the water to recuperate. Didnât you notice that the temperature in this villa is a little low? Isnât Professor Sheng wearing a windbreaker? Thatâs because my pool has been frozen by your T-Rex.â
Only then did Anna notice that Sheng Xiao was wearing a windbreaker over his shirt.
