"Xiao Ran, are you sure you want to do this?"

The enormous snake in front of her sat quietly inside the transparent glass cabinet, showing no signs of life, yet its appearance was still vivid.

"Of course, otherwise why would we go through so much trouble to sneak in here?"

I see Gu Ran carefully lifting the head of the snake, then swiftly making a cut at its heart. She rotates her wrist skillfully back and forth, and a thin film of cold sweat has already formed on her forehead.

Such is the Twin-Headed Snake King!

As a scientist who is recognized as eccentric by the public, she felt compelled to cut it open, or else her spirit might forever be trapped on this snake.

"Let's go back. I promised your brother to take good care of you!"

It wasn’t just because of Gu Yichen's request, Yu Kexin was fully aware of the importance of this snake to the American Biological Research Institute.

This was no ordinary snake. It was said to be brought back from a primitive tribe in Bangladesh. The military even deployed a significant amount of force just to capture this snake.

Legend has it that the snake was worshipped as a deity by the tribe. Another legend says that the snake carries an unknown curse...

In any case, it is a very unusual creature.

Unfortunately, Gu Ran was so focused on the scalpel in her hand that she couldn't hear a word Yu Kexin was saying.

Finally, the heart was skilfully removed from the snake’s chest cavity. Fresh blood stained Gu Ran's fingers. All of a sudden, the heart shockingly resumed its strong and powerful beating.

"Ah! Xiao Ran...the eyes, the eyes!!!"

"What's the fuss for?"

Gu Ran forced herself to stay calm, with trembling hands she skillfully stowed the heart into the backpack, only then did she lift her head.

Following Ke Xin's pointed direction, she saw a pair of blood-red pupils, unwavering, watching her; from the depths of those eyes, a maelstrom spread with the swift ferocity of a thunderbolt.

Like a massive tsunami seen in sci-fi movies!!!

She instinctively wanted to run, but found herself immobilized.

A heatwave hit her face, her entire body felt as though it was shattering, the air around her gradually thinning.

The world before her turned black, her hand still clutching the backpack tightly, and Gu Ran was instantly engulfed by a scorching wave.

The Continent of Overbearing

The legend is King of Kings, Tian Long, traded his lifespan with heaven to create this fictitious world parallel to reality, the whole continent of Overbearing stood on four pillars, the most powerful of which was the Overbearing Dynasty.

However, after his younger brother, the Ruler of Overbearing took power, he turned unkind and indulged in magic. His real dragon-like body began to transform into a savage black flame-covered serpent.

Although he was eventually destroyed, the nine-tailed fox tribe that was responsible for his demise was wiped out overnight.

No one knew why. Such a mystery eventually led to various rumors, a resurgence of the fox tribe would signify the return of the magical serpent.

Hence, a fox in the Continent of Overbearing is deemed as an absolutely prohibited existence.

Gu Ran only learned about these rumors later, causing her to almost chop off her own tail, of course, all these came afterwards.

The viewpoint now shifts to the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, a forbidden area of this continent. The vast natural hot spring is spewing heat, but what lies beneath the drifts of mist is tumultuous blood water.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, a robust man emerged from the water. Red droplets rolled down his well-defined muscles. His honey-colored pectorals, topped with two points of melodramatically appealing, indescribable temptation, led further down to a six-pack, showcasing the power of masculinity.

Suddenly, the man's eyes narrowed sharply, emitting a strong current of energy around him that created an invisible protective barrier.

In no time, a white mass descended from the sky, landing precisely on the barrier above the man's head.

Upon discerning the white mass, the man grinned mysteriously as the energy slowly dissipated. He accurately caught the falling figure-- a woman.

Observing Gu Yan's sleeping face, the man's expression softened, unbeknownst to himself. In the next second, he took her into his arms and deftly dropped her onto the large bed next to him.

"Mmm..." A rough finger slid across her skin, causing a burning sensation. Gu Yan uncomfortably whimpered.

However, it quickly drew annoyance from the man above her, who stopped her mewling with a kiss, taking his time to savor the sweetness of her lips.

As her consciousness slowly returned, the suffocating pressure in her chest nearly caused her to faint again. Gu Yan squirmed, instinctively trying to push off the massive figure looming over her.

"Woman, don't test my patience!" The man irritably grabbed her stirring hands and began nipping at her neck. Her scent was too intoxicating to resist.

When Gu Yan finally managed to open her eyes, they met a pair of star-bright eyes. A silver mask concealed his face, leaving only a pair of sharp, burning eyes that roamed freely over her.

Feeling a cold sensation, only then did Gu Yan realise she was trapped underneath someone.

"Ah... What are you doing?" Gu Yan was stunned, her eyes nearly bulging out and her lips twitching uncontrollably. Who could tell her what was happening?

"What do you think?"

The mask-clad man's eyes darkened, revealing a sly smirk that sent chills down her spine.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Despite her best efforts to remain calm, Gu Yan couldn't hide the fear in her eyes. Her trembling body gave her away.

The man seemed to enjoy her resistance quite delightfully. Slowly, he could feel her hands resting on his chest, teasing him like a kitten, seemingly provoking his *\* with her useless pounding.

But the moon was about to ascend right to the zenith. If it wasn't for such an important moment today, he would certainly be happy to have a longer foreplay with her.

Suddenly, the man easily immobilized her hands above her head, applying strong pressure. His powerful legs held her tightly, leaving her powerless to move. Furious and humiliated, she could only glare at him.

His hand roamed under her robe.

"Ah, very good," the man satisfyingly 'inspected the goods.'

She had never been treated with such indignity. In an instant, she blurted out the nastiest and most shameful words she'd ever used in her life, even cursing his ancestors eighteen generations back. But the man acted as if he hadn't heard a word and spread her legs.

"It hurts, you damn man, get out now or I'll castrate you!!"

"Stop, it really hurts!! So painful..."

The woman named GuRan couldn't even muster the strength to speak anymore, grinding her teeth together. Just how big was that man, she wondered because she felt like she was about to be split in half.
