After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 26 A strange combination of circumstances

The crowd's gaze followed the movement of the butterfly queen, and as it flew toward Chu Xinyao, the original clamor was gradually replaced by an expectant silence.

Chu Xinyao was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Butterfly Queen to take an interest in her. She was dressed simply, without the breezy animal skin skirt, and her skin was several shades darker from the ink spell. Compared to the meticulously dressed girls around her, she was utterly inconspicuous. However, the Butterfly Queen seemed unaffected by these external adornments, as if she could see through all illusions and strike straight to the soul.

The butterfly queen flew to Chu Xinyao's front and slowly flapped its wings. It seemed to be able to see through the mask and illusion and see Chu Xinyao's true appearance.

"Ah, Sister Xinyao, the Butterfly Queen has chosen you! I knew it! How could someone as beautiful as Sister Xinyao not be chosen?" Xiaohua excitedly tugged at Chu Xinyao, her eyes full of surprise.

Chu Xinyao smiled slightly. She reached out her hand, and the butterfly gently landed on her fingertips. The touch was as soft as a falling petal.

"Huh?" After a moment of confusion, Chu Xinyao suddenly felt a sense of calm, as if she had an unspeakable connection with the Butterfly Queen.

The butterfly lingered on Chu Xinyao's finger for a moment, then took flight, circling in the air a few times before seemingly making a decision. Finally, it flew back to Chu Xinyao's side and gently touched her mask.

Golden light began to emanate from the mask, and gradually her entire body lit up.

"Oh my god, the Butterfly Queen has been chosen."

"She is the most beautiful female at this year's Flower Spirit Gathering."

"Look, the Butterfly Queen has also chosen her orcs. Let them go up on stage; they are definitely the perfect match."

The people around her chattered and pushed Chu Xinyao forward, heading towards the place where the Flower Spirit Girl had danced before. The beastmen had already cleared a wide open space there, with a simple wooden platform built in the center, decorated with spirit flowers and their vines all around.

Chu Xinyao was pushed and shoved by the crowd, and involuntarily followed everyone's pace.

"Xiao Hua..." Chu Xinyao was flustered. She didn't want to go on stage, much less be paired with any beastmen for a display. She wanted to discuss it with Xiao Hua, but the petite Xiao Hua had already been pushed to the edge of the crowd and was trying her best to say something to her. The noise of the crowd made it difficult for her to hear Xiao Hua's words.

Amidst the surging crowd, Chu Xinyao's gaze swept through the throng, searching for the beastman chosen by the other butterfly queen. When she finally saw the familiar hempen robe radiating golden light, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was him.

"Oh no!" Xiao Hua thought to herself, the air around her suddenly felt heavy. Mo, whose handsome face was even blacker than his black clothes, walked over, ripped the spirit flower off his head, and said coldly, "Why didn't you stop her?"

"I... how could I stop her?" Xiaohua's eyes were full of grievance. In such a short time, her master had even changed her clothes to look pretty, causing Sister Xinyao to misunderstand that her master had been chosen, which was why she went on stage with her. How could she be blamed for this!

Mo knew he was a step too late, but he was filled with resentment. His face was as dark as an impending storm, and his sharp eyes pierced the chosen crane feather. He crushed the spirit flower in his hand into powder.

A-Da, noticing his loss of control, quickly pulled Xiao-Hua behind him to prevent her from becoming a victim of his master's wrath. He then respectfully addressed Mo, saying, "Master, you should still be prepared. We need to prevent the Butterfly Queen from revealing Lady Xin-Yao's true appearance after merging into the mask."

Mo Wei nodded slightly. He understood that the Butterfly Queen's power was mysterious and unpredictable. Once it merged into the mask, Chu Xinyao's true appearance would likely be revealed. Even if he had fooled everyone, he couldn't stop He Yu's true eyes from seeing Xinyao's face clearly. Worried about Chu Xinyao's identity as a saintess being exposed, he was extremely uneasy. But this was the only way for now; at worst...

With his crimson eyes narrowed, he secretly made a decision: he would absolutely not allow Crane Feather to ruin the return of his Ink Serpent Tribe to glory!

Standing on the stage, Chu Xinyao stared in astonishment at the person in front of her. This person was tall and upright, and even with a mask on, his innate handsomeness could not be hidden.

The mask was similar in style to hers, but beneath it, her glassy eyes were like a bottomless spring, clear yet full of stories, seemingly able to see into people's hearts, yet unfathomable.

His hair was jet black and glossy, slightly curly, and hung casually down his back. The mask could not conceal his high nose bridge and sculpted features; his jawline was firm, and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he were extremely dissatisfied with being chosen by the Butterfly Queen to be paired with her.

Chu Xinyao felt dizzy. She had actually seen wrong. Although the person in front of her was also wearing a very similar linen dress to Mo, the two had completely different temperaments.

This person has a clean and pure temperament, like a mountain spring, fresh and pristine. He stands there, seemingly blending into his surroundings. His presence is like a crane in the forest, noble and elegant.

Cranes? Yes, cranes.

Chu Xinyao didn't know why she associated the man before her with an elegant crane, perhaps because of his composed demeanor and seemingly innate noble air. He simply stood there, like a crane gracefully strolling through the forest, maintaining his elegance even in a noisy environment.

Chu Xinyao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. After all, she had Mo's shapeshifting ability. And she believed that no matter what, Mo would protect her safety.

He Yu seemed to notice Chu Xinyao's change. The female was initially uneasy, but quickly regained her composure. Appreciation flashed in his eyes; he was surprised by the female's adaptability.

He looked at Chu Xinyao, who was petite but had a head of seaweed-like black hair, which was his favorite hair color. Her linen clothes, which were made of a similar material to his, could not hide her curvaceous and beautiful figure.

As for skin color, it's a dull, dark color... wait, it's actually a shapeshifting spell.

Crane Feather's eyes suddenly emitted a golden light, which was not easily noticed by others amidst the golden light emanating from his entire body, but it could not stop Snake Ink, who was also a powerful being.

Mo's body trembled. Sure enough, He Yu had detected the illusion spell he had cast on Chu Xinyao. A sense of vigilance flashed through his mind, and he quickly summoned A'Da, whispering a few instructions in his ear. A'Da's eyes flashed with determination, and he nodded. Then, he silently retreated into the crowd.

Mo's gaze shifted back to He Yu, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

He Yu felt Mo's gaze and a smile appeared on his lips. This is getting more and more interesting.

His gaze fell on Chu Xinyao beside him again, his eyes growing even more profound.
