Inside a bar.
Several men exchanged glances as they watched a drunken girl at the bar. "Alright... it's about time."
A man with dyed blonde hair stretched and walked over to the girl.
Just as he was about to reach out, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a man in a raincoat.
"Huh?"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Trying to steal my kill, huh?"
The man in the raincoat didn't say anything, but with a gentle flick of his wrist, he broke the other man's arm.
Crack!
"Ah... damn it!"
The blonde-haired man cried out in pain, then knelt on the ground clutching his wrist. He cursed at the man and, without another word, called his brothers behind him!
But when the group behind him saw Li Yuan, they all froze.
"Uh... Brother Hao, maybe we should just forget it?"
"Damn it, what are you talking about? My hand was just snapped!"
For some reason, except for the blonde-haired man, the rest of them seemed terrified of Li Yuan.
It wasn't the first time they had seen Li Yuan.
Once, they found a severely injured old dog and were about to have some fun with it, to send it on its way.
Li Yuan happened to pass by at that moment and beat them up.
They were not convinced at the time and called for a group of people to wait for Li Yuan.
They called the local boss and dozens of people.
The result was the same.
Li Yuan single-handedly took them all down.
After that, the boss called another boss, and another group of people came.
This continued for five or six waves, and all the thugs in the area were defeated.
After that, Li Yuan became the boss of that area.
This was why the men were afraid of Li Yuan.
The men recounted the incident to the blonde-haired man, and he panicked when he heard some familiar names.
He could only slink away.
Li Yuan remained silent. He walked over to the girl and saw her look at him.
Then, she drunkenly said:
"Hmph, even if you came to apologize... I, I won't forgive you, Li Yuan..."
"Unless you... have a drink with me."
The bartender looked at Li Yuan. "Customer, what would you like to drink?"
"No need."
Li Yuan refused directly.
Water was his greatest taboo. He wouldn't drink water, and of course, he didn't need to.
The girl looked at Li Yuan with a hazy expression. "Then why are you here..."
"Just passing by."
Hearing Li Yuan's words, the girl pouted. "Where's your phone... give me your phone."
"Afraid it would get wet, so I didn't bring it."
Li Yuan hadn't touched a phone in a long time. The reason was his previous experiences.
His phone got wet and ruined, or it was accidentally destroyed during a fight, and he had to reapply for a new SIM card.
Because it was too troublesome, Li Yuan simply stopped carrying a phone.
The girl continued to talk incessantly, and Li Yuan responded intermittently.
Until the girl slumped over.
Li Yuan said nothing, just lifted the girl with one hand.
"Where do you live now?"
"Mmm..."
The girl was groggy and couldn't form a complete sentence.
Li Yuan shook his head and took her to a hotel.
As he was about to leave, the girl suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Where... are you going?"
"I..."
Just as Li Yuan was about to say something, the girl suddenly grabbed his collar and kissed his lips.
Her tongue probed into Li Yuan's mouth, but surprisingly, Li Yuan's mouth was very dry, without a trace of saliva.
And in that instant, fish scales began to appear wildly on Li Yuan's face, and his teeth started to sharpen!
Feeling his body transforming into a Fishman, Li Yuan directly pushed the girl away and quickly expelled the liquid from his mouth.
The girl was stunned for a moment, "Do you hate me that much?"
"Then why did you still come to find me?"
Li Yuan didn't know how to answer the girl, so he turned and left.
Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly shouted, "If you leave today, don't come to find me again."
"Okay."
Li Yuan said and pushed the door open to leave.
He didn't hesitate at all, his movements were very decisive as he exited.
Here's a piece of trivia: when a person is in close physical contact with someone of the opposite sex, their mind subconsciously relaxes, and they sweat during the activity.
This was quite fatal for Li Yuan.
Perhaps this was the best outcome.
For Li Yuan to kill someone, all he needed to do was tell them his biggest secret.
And if he wanted to protect someone, the only thing he could do was to stay as far away from that person as possible.
Other monsters wouldn't consider Li Yuan's feelings, just like the Queen Bee's decision before.
Regardless of what Li Yuan thought, since this girl might have discovered their secret, she had to die.
Li Yuan walked down the street with his hands in his pockets when suddenly, a man walked up to him.
He came in front of Li Yuan and then knelt down with a thud.
"Boss, I... I want to turn back into a human, please... please turn me back into a human!"
Hearing the man's words, Li Yuan turned his head coldly.
"If I can't even turn myself back into a human, why do you think I have a way to turn you back into a human?"
"The world is unfair, but the power granted by that person is fair."
"To gain something, you must lose something. The price of power is just like this."
"You begged me back then, saying you wanted to gain the same power as me. From that moment on, you should have been prepared to lose something."
With that, Li Yuan turned and left directly.
The number of his subordinates kept increasing, mingling in the streets and alleys of the city. Some people even took the initiative to become his subordinates.
But they never considered what the price of obtaining this power was.
"Hmm?"
Just then, countless transport helicopters suddenly flew overhead.
Li Yuan looked up at the sky. These transport helicopters came suddenly, and it felt like something big was about to happen.
"Sizzle..."
"Calling the commander, this is Nine-Tailed Fox Brigade 01, I am the frontline commander Zhang Jinsong. We have successfully reached North Ridge City. Over."
On the transport helicopters were a group of fully armed soldiers.
Every inch of their skin was tightly wrapped, and the helmets they wore included tactical goggles and communicators.
They could function as night vision and thermal imaging devices, and also display a satellite map.
The weapons in their hands were also sophisticated, all standard medium-caliber assault rifles.
"We are three hundred meters from the target, Nanyan. Estimated arrival in five minutes."
"SRW designation 004—Mother Nest."
"According to intelligence provided by Chu Yang, the target is a voluptuous female with withered, bone-like hands, from which she can shoot stingers with neurotoxin."
"This neurotoxin can control a person's mind and senses, and can transform all male life signs into female life signs."
"It has been confirmed that some influential figures in North Ridge City have been mentally controlled by 004 and are acting as unconditional shields for the target. They have now been detained."
