Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 2

Seeing her own relatives pressuring her like this, Mi Yue felt a sharp pain in her chest.

They had once been close family. Why had their faces changed so drastically after her parents’ death, all of them eager to snatch the inheritance from her hands?

The more Mi Yue thought about it, the angrier she became. Her already overburdened body couldn’t handle the consequences of her rage, and soon, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Gasping violently, she dialed the number of her assistant, Li Xiangyang.

At the top floor of a high-rise building in City A, the understated yet luxurious office was silent except for the rustling of papers and the swift strokes of a pen.

Ding-ding-ding…

An ordinary, unremarkable ringtone broke the quiet of the room.

“Young Miss.”

Mi Yue’s weak voice came through the phone. “Suspend… all business dealings with the second branch of the Mi family. Remove their people from the company.”

Li Xiangyang frowned slightly. “Young Miss, are you feeling unwell? Let me take you to the hospital-”

“I’m fine, just a little tired. Do as I say!”

“Young Miss, the second branch is still your uncle’s family. Wouldn’t this be a bit too…” Li Xiangyang adjusted his slightly drooping gold-rimmed glasses and spoke cautiously.

“They’re practically grinding my bones to ashes. Why should I spare them any face?”

“Li Xiangyang, remember this… even if I die, I won’t let them take a single advantage!”

The thought of how the second branch had immediately begun scheming to seize the family assets on the very night her parents died in a car accident, without even waiting for their bodies to grow cold, filled her with unbearable bitterness.

“Understood. I’ll remember.”

“Young Miss… How is your health? I recently contacted a hospital in Switzerland. Would you like to-”

“No need. Just manage the company well for me.” Mi Yue suppressed another violent cough, deliberately softening her tone to reassure him.

If there was anyone left in this world she still trusted, it was Li Xiangyang.

He had been a poor student sponsored by her father. After graduating from university, he had trained under her father and was groomed specifically to be her vice president.

After hanging up, Li Xiangyang remained deeply troubled, his handsome brows knitted tightly together.

[Feeding target confirmed: Tiger Tribe male, Xiu Ka.]

[Ding! The Feeding System has been activated!]

[You have successfully added Xiu Ka as a friend. You may now begin chatting.]

A new messaging app (Feixun) appeared on her phone, with a newly added contact in the friends list.

[Received 10 gratitude points from Tiger Tribe male Xiu Ka. Current gratitude points: 10.]

[Received 10 virtue points from Tiger Tribe male Xiu Ka. Current virtue points: 10.]

[Host’s remaining lifespan: 400 days.]

[Special reminder: Gratitude points can strengthen the host’s mind and body, super useful! Accumulating 100 virtue points can exchange for one year of lifespan. Keep striving for virtue points, and living a long life is no longer just a dream!]

“Can gratitude points cure my illness?”

[Yes, Host. However, your remaining lifespan is only 400 days. Even if the physical pain is eliminated, you will still die after 400 days. The only way to prolong your life is by accumulating virtue points to exchange for lifespan.] The system kindly reminded her.

“Is what you’re saying really true?” Even now, she still found it hard to believe she had acquired such a cheat-like ability.

“Of course it’s true. The system will now use gratitude points to enhance your physique, allowing you to experience it firsthand.”

Mi Yue was skeptical, but then she felt a warm current flow through her limbs, and the pain in her body genuinely lessened. The lung pain that had accompanied every breath actually disappeared. After a long while, she realized how free and effortless breathing could truly be.

This system was telling the truth!!!

Then the life-exchange feature must also be real!!!

Mi Yue quickly studied the Feixun app, learning about the background of the Beast World where Xiu Ka lived.

The Beast World resembled a primitive society, existing in an era where hunting was the primary means of survival.

In the Beast World, females were called “little females,” and males were referred to as “males.”

Males were born in beast form and would evolve into humanoid shapes as they aged, allowing them to switch between human and beast forms.

Little females were born in humanoid form. However, their survival rate was low, making them rare in the Beast World. With more males than females, a polyandrous social system had developed.

The original body she had replaced was Yue, the shaman of the Tiger Tribe.

Yue was born with black hair, which was seen as an ill omen. Because she was a little female, her parents abandoned her in the forest to fend for herself. Fortunately, the kind-hearted shaman Jie of the Tiger Tribe found and took her in.

To ensure Yue’s survival, Shaman Jie concealed her identity as a little female. Before his death, he passed the shaman title to her, securing her future.

From then on, Yue lived disguised as a male shaman in the Tiger Tribe. But when a great drought struck the Beast World, the tribe grew desperate. After her rain-prayer ritual failed, they knocked her unconscious and tied her up.

Yue had always been frail, and that blow ended her life, prompting the system to select her identity for Mi Yue.

All Mi Yue could say was that the original host had been dealt a bad hand.

After reviewing the world’s background, she also noticed five “feeding targets” listed in the app. Only Xiu Ka was currently unlocked; the other four remained hidden.

Now that she was bound to this feeding system, she could travel freely between the Beast World and the modern world, with time flowing at nearly the same rate in both.

The prospect of continuing to live thrilled Mi Yue. She couldn’t put down the Feixun app, exploring each of its functions.

Like WeChat, it had features for chatting, video calls, voice calls, and sending “red packets.”

But while WeChat red packets contained money, this app could transport modern items to the Beast World and vice versa.

“Huh? Why is Xiu Ka’s profile picture flashing? What’s going on?”

Buzz buzz buzz~~~

Buzz buzz buzz…

Her phone vibrated intensely.

[Host, your feeding target is in mortal danger. Please rescue them immediately. If the feeding target dies, all system rewards will be revoked. Note: Excludes natural deaths.]

Mi Yue jolted upright and hurriedly checked Xiu Ka’s status through Feixun.

She saw several beast-inflicted claw marks on his back, the wounds red and swollen, a clear sign of infection.

Mi Yue: Xiu Ka, Xiu Ka.

Dazed, Xiu Ka heard a clear, melodious voice, Shaman Yue’s.

Confused, he tried to speak but was interrupted by coughing.

Xiu Ka: Cough cough cough.

His cheeks flushed, his breathing rapid.

“System, what’s wrong with him?”

[Host, the feeding target has an infected wound and is currently running a 40-degree fever.]

Upon hearing this, Mi Yue hurriedly rummaged through the household first aid kit. Due to her illness, she occasionally fainted and often got bumps and bruises, so she had stocked up on plenty of medicine and medical supplies at home.

Bandages, fever reducers, everything was ready. She clicked the instant messaging function to teleport to the Beast World.

A flash of white light streaked before her eyes. When she opened them again, she found herself in a dilapidated thatched hut.

In the Beast World, adult males would leave home and build their own houses. But Xiu Ka’s dwelling looked far from impressive.

Calling it a thatched hut was generous, it was more like a fenced enclosure patched together with wooden branches and dry grass, topped with a makeshift roof.

The hut was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything. She had no choice but to turn on her phone’s flashlight for illumination.

In the corner of the hut, a tall male lay collapsed on the ground, his arms wrapped tightly around himself as he shivered uncontrollably.

Mi Yue rushed forward to check on him. The moment she touched his skin, the intense heat radiating from his body nearly scalded her hand.

His fever was dangerously high, she had to bring it down immediately.

With great effort, she propped him up and pressed two fever-reducing pills to Xiu Ka’s lips.

“Xiu Ka…”

[Ding! Reminder to the host: According to Beast World rules, a shaman must never speak aloud in their lifetime. To avoid exposing your identity, please abide by this regulation.]
