She had truly become part of the beastkin race! The white wings on her back appeared to be an inheritance from her chick genes.

  Not only were they aesthetically beautiful, but more importantly, with these wings… she could fly!

  For someone like Ye Lan, who had once been human, the ability to fly was nothing short of enviable. Although she had now become very powerful, and she could suspend herself in the air with just a push. That was still just a jump, not true flight.

  A professional study once revealed that the three most desired superpowers among people were X-ray vision, flight, and teleportation.

  Back then, Ye Lan had chosen flight. Just imagining herself unbound by Earth's gravity, soaring freely through the sky, and even racing airpnes if she wanted… it was simply exhirating!

  Chuyue bounced on her feet, excitedly fpping her pristine white wings as she proudly dispyed them to Ye Lan. Though they called her a 'chick' those wings were breathtaking.

  Her transformation had changed her in many ways, and the most striking difference was her aura.

  Of course, her golden hair and the unruly strand on her head also surprised Ye Lan. Before, in her heart, Chuyue had already been a solid 95 out of 100. But now?

  She had completely surpassed all standards!

  "Mama! Mama! Do I look good? I feel so light, like I could fly at any moment!" Chuyue excimed as her feet lifted slightly off the ground.

  Ye Lan, barely hiding her envy, stood on tiptoe and ruffled Chuyue’s hair. "Incredible, truly incredible"

  Chuyue ughed as she zipped back and forth around the room. Meanwhile, Ma Mian lifted his head proudly, after all, this was his masterpiece.

  "Miss Priestess, my abilities are limited. If the elder had done this, he could have elevated this child's bloodline to that of a high-level beastkin. But since both Niu Tou and I are only mid-level ourselves, I could only raise her to that rank. Even so, right now, Chuyue already has enough strength to dominate human territory" Ma Mian decred, pounding his chest.

  Blood, or more precisely, bloodline, was an extremely rigid cssification among the beastkin race. The purer the lineage, the greater the innate abilities, and the easier it was to grow stronger in the future.

  Conversely, the weaker the bloodline, the lower the innate talents, making progression much more difficult.

  For this reason, high-ranking positions within the species, such as that of the priestess, were typically reserved for high-rank beastkin or even those of royal lineage.

  First, to ensure that the priestess would possess superior strength. Second, to guarantee her unwavering loyalty to the species. And stly, to preserve the purity of noble bloodlines.

  Niu Tou and Ma Mian were around level 80, but their age had already surpassed 300 years. That was the limit of the innate potential for mid-lineage beastkin.

  And Ye Lan’s talent… After being analyzed by the sanctuary’s crystal, it was confirmed that she possessed the potential to become the most powerful priestess in history. Even when compared to all other high-ranking figures within the beastkin race, her talent still ranked among the top five.

  "There are still remnants of other beast bloodlines within this child’s body. Once we return to the Kingdom, she can ask the elder for another refinement. With his abilities, raising her to a high-level beastkin should be possible, difficult, but possible, allowing her to stand on equal footing with the priestess"

  Ma Mian spoke humbly. After all, before the priestess, he was nothing more than a mid-level beastkin.

  Ye Lan looked at Niu Tou and Ma Mian with a smile.

  "If I truly have that ability, then when we return, I’ll ask the elder to help elevate your bloodlines as well" she said cheerfully.

  "Really?!" Niu Tou and Ma Mian excimed in unison, their eyes shining with excitement.

  "Of course. But before that… You two stole the boss I was about to defeat, which means I didn’t get any experience. Regarding this matter, don’t you think you owe me some kind of compensation?" Suddenly, Ye Lan's tone changed, revealing a mischievous smile.

  Ma Mian's body trembled, and he quickly spped Niu Tou.

  "Quick, the Crystal Fruit!"

  "Uuuh… (┯_┯)"

  With tears in his eyes, Niu Tou reached into his pocket and pulled out a transparent fruit.

  "What is this?" Ye Lan asked curiously.

  "This is the Crystal Fruit! It’s a common food among beastkin that increases experience points. We left in a hurry, so we didn’t bring much with us, but once the priestess returns, she’ll have access to plenty of these, along with many other resources" Ma Mian handed the Crystal Fruit to Ye Lan with great reverence.

  She hesitated for a moment before taking a bite, only for her eyes to widen in astonishment because… It was delicious!

  At the same time, she noticed her system interface updating rapidly. Her experience shot up, breaking through level 10 and reaching level 11 in an instant.

  "This is amazing! Are you telling me that when I return, I’ll be able to eat these all the time?" Ye Lan asked with her mouth full, like a true glutton.

  "Of course! And not just this. The Crystal Fruit is a common market item, once you inherit the priestess position, you'll have access to even more exquisite food" Ma Mian assured immediately.

  There was truth in a certain human saying. The way to someone's heart is through their stomach.

  And Ye Lan’s heart had been thoroughly won over. No wonder Lian and Rin, the elves, had always said that beastkin were masters of cooking, their food really was on another level!

  Initially, Ye Lan had pnned to visit the Beastkin Kingdom simply to expand her horizons. But now, her priorities had shifted. Exploring the world could wait, when it came to food, she had to take this seriously.

  "Then there’s no time to waste, let’s go!"

  Brimming with excitement, Ye Lan instinctively headed for the door. But just then, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway. A group of figures appeared before her, led by none other than General Ironblood.

  "Miss Priestess! While we appreciate your efforts in defeating the monster, we must insist that you return Subject Z to us. She is, after all, human, and you beastkin have no right to interfere" General Ironblood said, coughing before speaking in a stern tone.

  Hearing this, Niu Tou and Ma Mian instantly bristled with anger. A mere level 48 human dared to speak with such arrogance? Even the king himself wouldn’t address the priestess so disrespectfully!

  Just as they were about to act, Ye Lan calmly raised a hand to stop them.

  "Stop always thinking about fights and bloodshed… Watch and learn~" With a pyful smile, she turned to face the human soldiers. Then, she casually raised a finger and pointed at Chuyue. "You cim that Chuyue is human? Open your eyes and take a good look! Tell me, who here is human?"

  "Subject Z is human, that is an undeniable fact… a hu… a hu… WHAT?!" General Ironblood’s words caught in his throat.

  Everyone looked at the small blonde girl in front of them and activated detection. However, the result was undeniable.

  Race: Beastkin.

  "Th-this… this is impossible!"

  "Haha, well, now that Chuyue is a beastkin, you don’t have any reason to bother her anymore, do you? Of course, if you still want to cause trouble, we wouldn’t mind stretching our muscles a little~" Ye Lan snapped her fingers with a smile.

  Niu Tou and Ma Mian did the same and positioned themselves on either side of Ye Lan. The pressure of their level 82 and 83 auras was unleashed in an instant.

  "So? Do you want to py with us?"

  "……………"
