Chapter 218: Chapter 218: This is... the Grand Finale?
Yu An paused. Lord Mo thought she was wavering and continued, "Consider it a favor for all the meals you’ve cooked for me. I’ll let you keep your superpower and your space."
"That previous world was a bit chaotic, but your superpower is already at Level 12. You can live just fine anywhere."
"What about everyone else?" Yu An turned around. "Never mind the people who have nothing to do with me—what about my family, my Beast Husbands, and my children? Will they come with me?"
Lord Mo frowned. "As long as you’re alive, you can just find other Beast Husbands and have more children in the future. As for your family... your Female Mother and Beast Father would surely want you to be safe."
"So, what do you say? Just release me and stay out of this, and I’ll send you away immediately."
Yu An said coldly, "Impossible."
Lord Mo’s expression darkened. No matter what else he said after that, Yu An turned a deaf ear, ignoring him completely.
This grassy field seemed to have no end. Yu An walked for a very, very long time without reaching its edge. Lord Mo couldn’t help but say, "Give up. You’ll never find my weakness. Instead of wasting time, you might as well..."
"Shut up!"
After saying those two words, Yu An ignored him again. She walked a while longer, then stopped, staring blankly at the grass beneath her feet.
Lord Mo thought she was about to give up. Just as he was about to continue his persuasion, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Yu An remained motionless, her eyes fixed on the ground. Lord Mo watched her, and suddenly, as if realizing something, his expression changed.
To prevent others from finding his weakness, he had forced himself to forget its location.
But seeing the way Yu An looked, the seal on some memories buried deep in his mind began to loosen.
His weakness was...
"Underground."
The moment she spoke, a thick vine shot out of the ground. The vine was coiled around a small box, about the size of a one-year-old child’s palm.
Yu An caught it. Just as she was about to open it and see what was inside, Lord Mo lunged at her. "Yu An, give it back to me!"
His voice became shrill, seemingly furious, but because he was bound by vines, Yu An dodged him easily.
CLICK. The small box opened, revealing a round, smooth... seed?
Yu An froze for a moment, then pulled out the seed Lu Lu had given her from around her neck.
Lu Lu had given her a seed before, saying it was the only one of its kind, and she had promised Lu Lu she would always wear it.
When Lord Mo saw the two identical seeds, the fury that had just been building up instantly deflated.
He stared at Yu An in astonishment. "There’s only one of these seeds! How do you have one?!"
Instead of answering, Yu An retorted, "I was about to ask you the same thing. Where did you get this seed?"
Lord Mo opened his mouth, about to speak, when the vines around his body suddenly began to tighten, digging straight into his flesh.
Yu An was startled by this sudden turn of events. Just as she was about to order the vines to loosen, the seed in her hand suddenly merged with the one on her necklace.
Then, the seed rolled into her collar on its own. The next second, a familiar figure appeared before Yu An.
"Beast God?!"
"It is I," the Beast God said, his face kind and smiling. "Good child, you’ve done it. Crush that bead, and the Demon will disappear completely."
’A bead?’
’What bead?’
A hard object suddenly appeared in Yu An’s hand. She picked it up and saw it was a green bead, similar to the seed from before.
She was a little dazed. Seeing her hesitation, the Beast God urged her on.
"Hurry up and do it! Any later and he’ll wake up!"
Yu An subconsciously glanced at Lord Mo. She couldn’t see his face clearly, but for some reason, she sensed a deep sorrow from him, and also... joy.
*Crush it.*
A gentle voice echoed in Yu An’s mind. As if guided by an unseen force, Yu An did it.
The moment the bead shattered, Lord Mo’s body slowly began to turn transparent.
The Beast God didn’t spare him a glance. "Child, you’ve done very well. Once he disappears completely, you can reclaim your body. I will be waiting in Coral City for you to rescue me."
With that, his figure vanished on the spot.
To be honest, Yu An’s head was spinning.
’Lord Mo, a Demon powerful enough to injure and seal the Beast God, just vanished like that?’
While she was still in a daze, Lord Mo staggered two steps toward her, as if he wanted to say something.
But he couldn’t get any words out. He only held Yu An’s hand until the very moment he disappeared.
The next second, Yu An opened her eyes and found herself on top of the Array.
The eight beams of light on the Array were gone. Yu An looked around in a daze.
’Lord Mo was gone, just like that?’
’Is this... the grand finale?’
The barrier surrounding the edge of the Array had also vanished. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Mo Yan and the others running over with the Zaizais.
"An’an!"
Ao Wu casually shoved Fuzai at Mo Yan and hurried forward to hug Yu An. "An’an, I’m so glad you’re okay! Also, the Invincible Alliance has fallen!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Yu An’s blank expression, Ao Wu explained, "Two days ago, a voice appeared in the skies above Invincible City. The voice claimed to be the Beast God and announced all the evil deeds committed by Lord Mo and the Invincible Alliance to the public."
"He also said that Lord Mo was gone and the Invincible Alliance had lost its backing. The Beastmen who had been forced to work for the Invincible Alliance rebelled and captured all its members."
Yu An quickly asked, "What about Ao Yin?"
"Ao Yin tried to run, but Beast Father caught him."
Ao Wu snorted. "His spiritual power has been crippled. Tomorrow, he will be beheaded in front of everyone in Invincible City, to appease the spirits of the Beastmen he victimized!"
Feng Xuan added, "An’an, the Beast God told us to come find you now, saying you would wake up at this time."
A thought struck Yu An. She checked the time with them and discovered that half a month had actually passed in the outside world!
Once the adults had finished their serious discussion, the Zaizais all swarmed Yu An, vying for her affection. Fuzai wrapped herself around Yu An’s arm, rolling around and begging for pets.
Yu An pushed aside the strange feelings from before and patted Fuzai’s little head. "Oh, Zaizai, you’re the only one who hasn’t shapeshifted yet."
"Female Mother, Zaizai can shapeshift now! I wanted Female Mother to see my first time."
As she spoke, Fuzai immediately transformed into her human form. A child suddenly appeared in her arms, and Yu An nearly dropped her.
Sure enough, Fuzai looked just like her—a miniature version of Yu An. The only difference was the few strands of gold mixed into Fuzai’s hair.
She also had two small horns on her head. Yu An quickly took out a small dress for her to wear.
As the only female cub in the family, everyone from Yu Huang and Ao Jin down to Da Hu and the others would spoil Fuzai with treats from time to time.
As a result, the little girl’s cheeks were plump and chubby—you could tell just by looking that they’d be wonderfully soft to the touch.
Yu An tied her hair into two little pigtails and put in a cute hair clip, finally satisfying her long-held desire to play dress-up!
The male Zaizais were cute too, but once they got a little older, they refused to wear little dresses or hair clips, which had been a source of lasting regret for Yu An.
