In the spacious interrogation room, another enormous creature appeared.
Yun Manman didn't know how long this snake was, but its body coiled and twisted, occupying nearly half the space in the room.
Its body was so thick that a person could barely wrap their arms around it.
The jade-white scales glinted coldly under the lights, while its pale red underbelly slowly expanded and contracted with each breath.
Most peculiar were the pair of wings on the snake's back, which when spread, were as fiery red as a sunset's glow.
Its crimson vertical pupils, like the finest rubies, glared with disgust at the Beastfiend.
Yun Manman had never seen such a creature before.
It was fierce and brave, yet exquisite and elegant. As soon as it appeared, the air seemed to carry a faint scent of blood from the battlefield.
As if a legendary divine beast had suddenly leapt out of an ancient tome, Yun Manman was utterly shocked, frozen in place as she stared at the giant snake.
The more she looked, the more familiar its eyes seemed.
The white snake's powerful body constricted tightly around the Beastfiend, squeezing so hard that the creature let out agonized howls.
Surprisingly, the Beastfiend still had some strength to fight back, extending its sharp claws through the gaps in the snake's coils and viciously scratching at its body.
But the snake's scales were extremely hard, and the Beastfiend's claws only left shallow white marks.
The giant snake disdainfully curled up the Beastfiend and hurled it forcefully to the ground.
For a moment, the interrogation room echoed with loud thuds.
Hearing this, Yun Manman felt as if she could feel the impact herself, her head buzzing.
The Beastfiend, battered by the snake, lay on the ground gasping for air, blood flowing from its nose and mouth.
The giant snake brought its head close to the weakly breathing Beastfiend, suddenly opening its mouth wide and sinking its sharp venomous fangs into the creature's body.
In its mind, it chanted: "Scum, scum..."
In no time at all, the Beastfiend's life was extinguished.
During the giant snake's battle with the Beastfiend, Yun Manman had quietly made her way to Yuan Qing's side.
The Leopard Cat was severely injured.
Her fur was corroded in multiple places by the Beastfiend's bodily fluids, and there were scratch marks from their fierce fight that were still bleeding.
Yuan Qing hadn't completely lost consciousness, but affected by the Beastfiend's influence, her mental sea was churning, causing her head to throb.
Seeing Yun Manman approach, she forced her eyes open and asked, "Are you alright...?"
Tears rolled down Yun Manman's face like falling beads: "I'm fine."
"That's good," Yuan Qing sighed in relief, but then warily eyed the giant snake. "Do you know that Beastman?"
Why would such a powerful Beastman suddenly appear in an interrogation room that even the police couldn't enter?
Friend or foe?
Yun Manman cradled the Leopard Cat's large head in her arms: "I don't know."
Her mind was in complete chaos.
She remembered bringing Qiqi in with her, but now Qiqi had vanished without a trace.
And this giant snake was clearly an enlarged version of Qiqi...
Yun Manman's sweet scent enveloped Yuan Qing. Inexplicably, Yuan Qing felt her mental sea gradually calming down.
As her mind relaxed, Yuan Qing passed out.
Yun Manman was startled and checked the Leopard Cat's breathing, finding that she had merely fallen asleep. Only then did she feel relieved.
The giant snake, having finished its battle, was extraordinarily quiet, its body still turned away from them.
For a moment, the air in the interrogation room seemed to freeze.
Yun Manman cautiously said, "Hello... excuse me..."
Startled by her sudden voice, the giant snake turned and glared at her fiercely, then quickly slithered to the door.
Its powerful tail struck the heavy door repeatedly, breaking it open in just a few hits.
As the door opened, it revealed a group of anxious-looking police officers behind it, who were pushing a battering ram, intending to force the door open.
Unexpectedly, as the door suddenly opened, a huge snake head emerged from inside, startling them into quickly drawing their weapons, aiming their gun barrels at the giant snake.
"Who are you! Stop right there, don't move!"
"Freeze! Or we'll shoot!"
They clearly remembered that there were no snake Beastmen among those who had entered the interrogation room!
The giant snake cast a particularly disdainful glance at them, not stopping its movement, continuing to slither out at its own pace.
The police officers: Feeling utterly disrespected.
No one noticed the panic and embarrassment hidden in the depths of the giant snake's eyes.
Just as half of the giant snake's body had exited, a sudden flash of white light appeared.
Catching everyone off guard, the giant snake suddenly vanished, replaced by a completely naked man.
Due to the sudden transformation to human form, the man wore not a stitch of clothing.
Unruly short hair, skin pale as snow all over, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, toned muscle definition...
The human form lasted only for a brief moment before the man suddenly disappeared again.
A small snake fell to the ground with a "plop," motionless.
The highly alert police officers: ? What the hell
Lu Qi: Never hated my beast form for being so long before.
Just kill me now. Damn it.
Yun Manman: !
Qiqi?
From her angle, she had only seen the giant snake's back as it left, and then the back of the man after the flash of white light.
Although it appeared for just a second, she clearly saw his naked, athletic physique, and the snake tail that hadn't fully retracted at his rear.
Judging from the excellent back view, it wasn't hard to imagine that this must be a handsome Beastman.
Then she saw the small snake sprawled on the ground.
So the giant snake and the man were both Qiqi...
Yun Manman felt her worldview crumbling. Wasn't Qiqi supposed to be a pet snake?
Huh???
She watched woodenly as the police picked up the small snake, then saw Jin Luo rush over to her with reddened eyes...
His mouth kept moving, but Yun Manman couldn't hear what he was saying.
She felt like she was about to faint too.
Today had truly been a tumultuous and dangerous day.
Everything would be fine after a good sleep, maybe she'd even wake up back on Earth.
I'd rather go back to being a corporate slave, waaah! Beast God, I can't handle this kind of trial!
Yun Manman's thoughts were in disarray, as tangled as a ball of yarn that had been played with by Aunt Zhou's cat grandson.
Her last thought was of that flash of white.
So white and perky...
Then she completely blacked out.
