Synopsis

Genius youth and black-bellied big shot (Zhuxing @& Blazing Grudge) Zhuxing had failed halfway through his transformation and was thrown into the demon beast shelter by his parents. The conditions there were extremely harsh. In the extremely dark shelter, Zhuxing did not give up and planned to escape many times. In the end, they escaped from the shelter, but they were chased by the shelter's guards into the desert and fell into quicksand. The immense pressure of the quicksand crushed his body into pieces, but he didn't die in such an environment and ended up in a small village.

Chapter 11. Transformation failed

It was a story of a super big shot hiding his identity and accompanying a newbie to level up and fight monsters.

A cute little brother in front of people, a big general attack that kills without blinking behind people

A young brother who only wanted to become a super expert!

…………………………

"Have you heard about the peacock clan?"

"Damn, I'm afraid everyone knows about such a big matter. Their peacock clan has always been strong. The success rate of each generation's transformation is as high as 80%. In the end, the clan leader's youngest son failed to transform. It's simply embarrassing!"

"That's right. I heard that the youngest son was picked up by the shelter today. When he left, his feathers were still bloody. He had clearly transformed into half of his human form. You can even see his human face and human form!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Maybe his parents have committed too many sins, and retribution is on him!"

Two burly men were drinking at a roadside stall and chatting about current affairs with interest. In fact, other than this kind of indecent occasion, there were also online media. Many upper-class occasions also treated this matter as a joke.

Of course, the peacock race would not be affected by an insignificant child. In this world, the strong were still respected, and the peacock race was powerful. There were dozens of demon-level experts. Therefore, many large families would keep their mouths shut about this matter.

A demon was just a very ordinary living being before it took human form. After it took human form, it was called a demon spirit. A demon core would be formed in its body and it would have demon power. At that time, it would produce its own talent. A powerful talent was enough for a family to focus on nurturing it. However, once the transformation failed, it would become a demonic beast without any demonic power. There were also some demonic beasts that possessed demonic power, but that demonic power was extremely weak. They did not even have a demonic core. As time passed, they would grow ferocious. If those demonic beasts with demonic powers were free, they would cultivate into demons. They were a species that loved killing and blood, which was very different from the demon race.

Therefore, no matter which family it was, as long as they failed to transform, they would throw their biological children into this iron cage like trash, so that they would not have the chance to cultivate and become demons.

The large truck from the demon beast shelter slowly drove into the large prison built in the middle of the desert. Because most of the people locked up here were small demon beasts that had failed to transform and lost their lives, the guards were relatively weak. There were only a few people patrolling, and many of the guards were middle-aged demon spirits. The only purpose of the Demon Beast Shelter was to provide a prison for children who failed to transform to fend for themselves. They would not have the chance to cultivate and become demons. Moreover, the shelter was located in the center of the desert. Once one entered, they would be trapped here. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, there was an endless desert outside. The terrifying aura of death was everywhere.

"Yo, is this the youngest son of the peacock chief?" A middle-aged guard with a beer belly grabbed a demon beast from the cage. The demon beast had a human form, but its green wings were covered in a layer of blood. Its old eyes were filled with sarcasm. The Peacock Clan was powerful. In the past, he had been looked down upon by such a large clan in the city. Therefore, he was jealous and hated. The result of his jealousy was that he smashed the little peacock demon beast to the ground and stepped on its face.

"Hahaha, there's no such thing as a peacock young master. They're all lowly demonic beasts here. Their lives and deaths are their fates!" Another guard laughed.

"Bah! You filthy thing!" The middle-aged guard kicked the little peacock away again with disgust.

"Alright, throw it in and let's go drink?"

"Alright, this time I won't go home until I'm drunk, hahaha!"

After going around for a long time, it was finally locked in a small room. There were still a few demon beasts inside that were motionless. It was unknown if they were alive or dead.

Sensing that there was no longer any threat around him, the little peacock demon beast slowly opened its eyes. Its face was already like a human's. Its eyes were dark blue, like the sea and the night sky. However, there were no stars in the night sky, making it seem so dead silent.

Yao transformed at the age of five, so it was equivalent to him being five years old. In the past few years, he lived with the peacock true body, but it did not mean that he did not have consciousness. His parents liked to call him Xiao Ying and liked to show him the lake in front of the door. Sometimes, his brothers and sisters would secretly take him for a walk, like walking a dog…but he was very happy at that time. Many uncles and aunties would smile when they saw him. Although he sometimes felt uncomfortable, that period of time was undoubtedly the happiest. Therefore, he really hoped that he could transform soon. With a human body, he could study with his brothers and sisters and be with his parents forever...

"Wu…wu wu…" Tears rolled down its dirty face, but it couldn't move. It had wasted too much of its physical strength when it had just transformed. It had been kicked and thrown along the way, and at least two of its ribs had been broken. Grievance, sadness, unwillingness, and unwillingness to believe…His parents were clearly so good to him, but he still had a glimmer of hope that his parents would come and pick him up until the last moment…

But…the moment she found out that he had failed to transform, her mother beside him clearly looked very disappointed. That gaze…it was as if she was looking at trash…she was clearly her child too…

"Maybe…I'm really a good-for-nothing. I disappointed my parents and embarrassed them…Maybe I shouldn't have lived in this world at all. Why am I still alive…" Her small body curled up into a ball and soon stopped moving.

In the dream, Pei Ying had successfully transformed. Many adults in the family celebrated his birthday and celebrated his successful transformation. His brothers and sisters had also prepared gifts for him. There was his favorite flying skateboard and the latest combat experience game console.

Pei Ying hugged her brother Pei Yuan's hand and said coquettishly with a tender voice,"Then, brother, can you teach me how to cultivate?" I also want to be a demon like Mom!"

The ten-year-old Pei Yuan pouted."Hmph! I'm only a level 1 demon spirit. It's still too early for me to become a demon like my mother!"

"Hahaha, you can work hard. Work hard to surpass your parents. You can do it!" His father rubbed Pei Ying's head, looking very pleased.

The family was happy and harmonious, as if everything was real…

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, as if it had split the entire world in half. The entire world was trembling, and Pei Ying was also a little unsteady. "Trash! Wake up! Do you want to stay in a dark place for the rest of your life?" A voice sounded from the sky.

This voice was so powerful that it sounded like thunder in his ears. He couldn't help but tremble. He looked at the sky in fear. Who was that person? Why would he make such a terrifying sound?

He knew everything…He knew that he was a good-for-nothing who had been abandoned by others. Now, he could only seek comfort in his dreams. But who was he? Why did he have to take away even this little bit of warmth…Although he was very afraid, he pointed at the place where the lightning struck and said loudly,"No, I won't! Who are you?"

The sound just now had disappeared, but the thunder was louder. Bolts of lightning struck down, and one bolt of lightning struck his body. His limbs and bones seemed to be about to explode…

Pei Ying suddenly woke up and sat up with difficulty. He looked around and then looked at himself. His body was still numb, as if everything in the dream was real. But there was no pain like in the dream. But why would he feel pain in the dream?

He was suddenly too lazy to think. A five-year-old child couldn't think of anything no matter how much he thought. However, he did think about the words in his dream. Was he really going to wait for death here…How could a child of the peacock clan be so useless!

He slowly stood up. He was not so familiar with the use of his legs. Although the lightning was too terrifying, his body miraculously recovered a little. At least he could stand up.

The door was made of iron bars, and besides him, there were six other demon beasts lying on the grass. The situation on the other side was probably the same. Could they really escape…

Green Feather Castle

"Patriarch, if you're worried about the young master, we can entrust the demon beast shelter to take care of him." An old white-haired old man looked at Patriarch Pei Ling, who was sitting on the main seat of the castle.

When she heard the words "Little Young Master", it seemed to have touched a certain part of Pei Ling. Her eyes darkened and the surrounding air became colder, causing the servants beside her to shiver.

"Young Master? I don't know who the young master that Third Elder is talking about is." The woman sitting on the main seat looked to be in her thirties. Her figure was one of the best in the entire demon world. Her light blue hair was as beautiful as the lake in front of the castle. After she was tied up, she looked more mature and sexy. Her long and narrow eyes were slightly raised, and every frown and smile was charming.

The Second Elder immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not normal. He immediately stopped the Third Elder. The Second Elder explained,"The Third Elder is just concerned about the chaos. However, we all know that our Little Young Master has always been Young Master Pei Yuan."

"Third Elder is really kind-hearted. Ever since that demon failed to transform, it was no longer our peacock clan. Could it be that the Third Elder has developed feelings for a monster?" The Fourth Elder laughed mockingly.

"You..." Third Elder glanced at Fourth Elder. If Second Elder hadn't held him down, he would have attacked.

Ever since Pei Ying was born, it was indeed Third Elder who accompanied him every day. He was especially optimistic about this child. He had not transformed yet, but his spirituality was something that no peacock cub had. Little Pei Ying would smile at him, and he would also be interested in some of the more profound cultivation manuals. With Pei Ying's little cub accompanying him, Third Elder suddenly felt that these few thousand years of living had become interesting. However, such a smart little fellow actually failed to transform…It could only be said that the world was unpredictable.

Pei Ling smiled in satisfaction."From now on, if anyone mentions Pei Ying's name again, don't blame me for being merciless." Pei Ling smashed the fan in his hand onto the ground. A part of the light green floor cracked, and a cold air rose from the crack.

"Master, the White Tiger Clan's Patriarch, Bai Hengyun, invites you to discuss some matters." A bird suddenly flew in front of her and said to her.

Pei Ling nodded and said coquettishly,"Let's go."

The man and bird quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

The few elders were sweating profusely. They only relaxed after Pei Ling left."Sigh, a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs." Third Elder sighed.

The Second Elder looked around in fear and quickly reminded the Third Elder,"Shh! The Clan Leader is very good-tempered. If we really anger her, she will do anything." Moreover, the clan leader had valued Xiao Ying in the past, so he hated him now. Regardless of whether it's a big or small family, they all attach great importance to the transformation, especially for a family like ours. The reason why we can establish ourselves in the Demon Realm isn't because we're compassionate."

"Alright, after today, there won't be such a person in our clan. Everyone should think about how to control the gossip on the Internet. After all, gossip is terrible." A young man in the middle fanned himself and slowly left.

"Yes, Great Elder," the elders said in unison.

Demon Beast Shelter

"Hey, are you guys…still alive?" Pei Ying cautiously called out to the few demonic beasts lying in the corner.

There was no response from the other side.

Pei Ying approached them and turned them in front of him. It was fine if they didn't see him, but when he saw them, he was almost scared to death.

He was so frightened that his body went limp and he sat on the ground.

The demonic beast he had just helped up was already dead. Its face had completely turned into white bones, and there were a few maggots squirming on its face.

Pei Ying was so nauseous that he wanted to vomit, but there was nothing in his stomach. He just squatted in another corner and retched.

Pei Ying did not dare to sleep the entire night. He was in the same room as a few children of similar age, and those children were all dead. A trace of despair rose in his mind. Would he become like them in the future? How miserable would that be…

"No…no, I must escape!" Pei Ying secretly made up his mind.

In a child's world, there was no such thing as bad people. However, Pei Ying's world seemed to be filled with bad people. After failing to transform, they were all bad people. His only thought now was to try his best to survive.

As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)
