Xi Qingqing woke up from a strong, strange fragrance.
The first thing she saw was a man’s clear, muscular abs. Drops of sweat slid down his body. Without thinking, her eyes moved lower…
“Get lost!” the man growled, his voice hoarse, his whole body flushed pink as if he were holding something back.
Xi Qingqing was shocked. The man did not have normal legs—he had a thick, black snake tail!
What was going on?!
Wasn’t she already dead, surrounded and killed by zombies in the apocalypse?
Confused, she looked around. The place was old and broken. The roof was made of straw, and water dripped down as if it had just rained.
The man beside her seemed to have taken some kind of drug. Sweat covered his body. His long eyes were red at the corners, and his gaze was soft and wet, making people feel pity—and even want to jump on him.
Even Xi Qingqing, who had avoided romance for over ten years, felt her heart beat fast because of his extremely handsome face.
She quickly grabbed a blanket and threw it over him.
“Uh… A gentleman doesn’t take advantage of others. Cover yourself first.”
“You!” The man was covered by the torn blanket, embarrassed and furious. He could barely speak.
“Xi Qingqing! Weren’t you the one who drugged me?!”
His hoarse breathing made her feel dizzy. Then a light voice sounded in her head:
【Hello, Host. I am System 001. Congratulations, you have entered the book “Soft Female: After Rebirth, Conquering Beast Men with Spiritual Power” and become the villainess.】
She entered a book?! And a world she had never heard of?
“Female?” she asked. “So… Is this man a snake?”
【More precisely, he is a snake beast. He is one of your beast husbands, Mo Fuqing.】
【In this world, females are rare and males are many. Each female has at least seven beast husbands.】
“Beast husbands? More than one?!”
【Yes. You currently have five. According to the law, you must marry at least two more.】
Xi Qingqing had never seen anything like the scene before her. She wanted to ask more, but the strange smell became stronger.
A shadow rushed toward her. Her vision went black as her head hit the ground hard.
The man pressed down on her. His body was burning hot, tears almost falling, yet he still held back.
“Xi Qingqing… I don’t want to… with you… you… forget it…”
The pain suddenly disappeared. Shocked, she saw him lower his head as if humiliated, offering his lips to her.
!!!
If not for the large snake tail hitting the floor behind him, she might have felt a little tempted.
What bad luck! She had just arrived and was already being forced by a snake?!
【Warning! In this world, if you form a relationship with a male beast, you will be deeply bonded. If you become strong, he becomes strong. If you become weak, he becomes weak!】
Xi Qingqing: “!!!”
What a strange rule!
She tried to sit up, but his cool tongue touched her cheek. She shivered and saw his eyes change.
His pupils turned into narrow vertical slits, glowing red as he stared at her.
She could clearly feel something pressing against her thigh.
“No!” She suddenly woke up fully. She used all her strength and hit the back of his head with her elbow.
The man blinked, looked at her with a hurt expression, then collapsed softly to the ground.
Ignoring the system’s teasing, she adjusted him and covered him with the blanket.
Wiping her sweat, she looked around. She was clearly in a deep mountain range. The straw hut was fragile—one fire could burn them both.
Strangely, the hut was large, as if more people lived here.
“What exactly is going on?” she asked.
The system immediately sent the world’s story into her mind.
She learned that this body also belonged to someone named Xi Qingqing, a royal from the Beast Continent. Her beast core was taken when she was young, so she had little status.
The real problem was the female lead—her servant, Xi Yuanyuan.
Xi Yuanyuan was born with strong spiritual power. After saving Xi Qingqing once, she became a princess.
From then on, whenever people mentioned Xi Qingqing, they also mentioned Xi Yuanyuan.
What Xi Qingqing never knew was that Xi Yuanyuan’s power originally belonged to her.
Xi Yuanyuan was reborn. After returning, she worked with her mother, a palace doctor, to remove Xi Qingqing’s beast core and take her place.
Xi Qingqing frowned. Someone who steals from others—how can she be the heroine?
The system explained:
【Because the story became too immoral and killed too many chosen people, the world was destroyed.】
【Your task is to take back your fate, save the chosen people, and become the empire’s God of War.】
【If you succeed, you can return to your original world and be reborn. If you fail, you will stay here forever and repeat this world.】
Xi Qingqing relaxed a little.
“Who are the chosen people?”
【They will only be revealed when they are close to death.】
So for now, she could only focus on becoming the God of War.
【To do that, you must purify all the pollution in the Beast Continent. The nearest mission is the Snake Tribe in the Clear Water region.】
Realizing she had a lot to do, she asked for more information about the original body.
The system quickly sent it.
On her coming-of-age day, she was falsely accused and sent to prison. Upon her return, she found that two of her five beast husbands had left her for Xi Yuanyuan.
The remaining three stayed only because they were bound to her.
After a year in prison, her body was weak. When she caught a cold, she died.
Xi Qingqing sighed. She decided to build a grave for the original owner later.
After all, she had taken over her body. She should at least seek justice for her.
She checked her body and found her spiritual sea empty. At the center was a deep hollow—the place where her beast core used to be.
She tried to use her ability. Her power was healing. She wasn’t sure if it still worked.
Her gentle spiritual power flowed into the hollow. It absorbed everything greedily.
After using all her strength, a small green sprout finally appeared.
It worked.
She collapsed to the ground.
The system was shocked:
【Host, are you S-level spiritual power?】
A beast core is the source of life, and each person only has one. But she could regrow it!
Xi Qingqing smiled.
“I’m above S-level.”
The system: 【!】
She prepared to pick up the snake beast. Since she had inherited him, she should treat him better.
But as she bent down, she suddenly felt danger behind her and turned around.
A large fox tail was already in front of her face. She grabbed it and threw it hard to the ground.
The attacker moved smoothly and came at her again.
But she had used up all her power. She could only watch as a giant fox raised its claws.
Just as the claw was about to hit her face, it suddenly stopped.
She could even feel the wind from it brushing her eyelashes.
“You… Why didn’t you fight back?
