Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

The beast in front of Ye Tian Yun had brownish-purple fur, but that was only on its back.

Its chest was covered by silvery skin, which looked like a rack and seemed pretty tough.

A loud clang echoed throughout the hall as the spear hit the wolf's chest.

"GRRRRRRR!!!"

The beast winced and jumped to the other side.

But as soon as it jumped, it swiped its paws horizontally and slapped the person in the air, throwing her right in Ye Tian Yun's direction!

Ye Tian Yun immediately lowered his body and hid with his back against the wall. He had no plans to reveal himself just yet.

-BOOM! 

The person landed on the wall, making it tremble as cracks formed due to the impact.

"Ha…. Hhah…Ha..."

Ye Tian Yun could hear her trying to catch a breath.

He hid and immediately began to look for a new spot to hide.

He knew the beast was about to come here, and the wall was most likely going to be collateral damage in this fight between the person on the other side of the wall and the beast.

"You should save her." Wang Yao said.

"Why?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "This is not an adventure story, and I am not a hero. I haven't even seen the beast carefully enough, and you want me to go and fight it?"

Wang Yao shrugged, "It was just a suggestion. But why don't you make—"

Just then, Ye Tian Yun raised his hand, gesturing him to stop.

And then turned around and stared at the wall with a deep frown.

"What happened?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask.

"This person… who's on the other side…." Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "Her aura is quite familiar. I don't remember where I have encountered this aura, but it feels familiar."

Wang Yao shook his head, "That's impossible. People who use Hunter Mecha are not cultivators."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then why does she have cultivation?"

"Cultivation?"

"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It's the First Level Foundation Establishment Realm, but it's not stable. She most probably had a breakthrough some time ago, most probably while fighting that beast."

Wang Yao pursed his lips, "You should interfere in this fight. This girl is not that powerful, and you can easily eliminate her if she tries anything funny."

Ye Tian Yun thought while rubbing his index finger and thumb of his right hand for a moment.

Just then, Black-yellow lightning sparks flashed between his index finger and thumb.

…

Gao Suyin was tired and heavily injured.

Lying on her back, she stared at the Burning Wolf King, Fenrir, as the latter slowly got up. Her hunter mecha was already heavily destroyed, and now after going against this wolf, it was on the verge of total wreckage.

'Shit….'

As she lay helpless with her back against the wall, she knew it was only a matter of time before she died.

'To think I would die against a mere Burning Wolf King….'

She couldn't help but sigh at the situation.

Because of her transmigration into a new body a year ago, she had to start from scratch.

The only advantages she had were the Token Of Reality and her soul-bound Hunter Mecha... 

She wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible, but after a year in this world, she now needed to handle a lot of things first.

Like the Gao Clan whom she felt indebted to, and her new enemies who had almost killed her as soon as she opened her eyes in this world, and even more important was her own strength.

She was at the bottom of the rug and didn't even have 0.1% of her peak strength. 

It was not wrong to say that her journey would be a long and arduous one.

But this didn't discourage her. Earth needed her, and she had to return. There were even some answers she wanted to know, including the incident right before she transmigrated.

Thus, returning to Earth was her main priority.

Her first step after coming to this world was consolidating her strength and looking for a way to return. She was confident that there was a way out because her Hunter Mecha was still soul-bound. This was the only indicator and hoped that there could be Soul Gates in this world too! 

And she chose to hold on to this hope, even though the likeness of it coming to fruition was minimal.

She even formed an information organization with the sheer goal of finding her way back.

This wasn't her first time forming a secret information network. This was why she knew what needed to be done.

Thus over the past year, she formed connections, amassed wealth, and looked for any possible way to become powerful and reach the top of this world to find a way to get back to Earth.

But things didn't go as she had expected.

At first, was a problem she faced in the Xin-Wu Battlefront about a year ago.

She overcame the issue, but then she encountered something while returning to the Capital city.

In a certain tavern in the Barren Fields, she was having her lunch when suddenly a middle-aged man barged in, occupied the central table, and began throwing spirit stones to anyone who provided him with the information about the happenings in the lower heavens.

One must know that the Token of Reality is quite mysterious and has a few handy abilities, one of them being able to see through any disguise!

And at that moment, she noticed that the middle-aged man was actually a young boy of her age!

She didn't know who the young man was, but his true appearance and the aura around her were something she had never come across.

None of the heirs of powerful guilds on Earth, or Young Masters of big clans in this world, bore such an overbearing aura.

However, that wasn't enough to make her curious until she found another thing about him.

'He's twenty-three years old but looks only fourteen...'

Who was he? She was curious and decided to look more into the matter in her free time. Somewhere in her heart, she truly hoped him to be a transmigrator like her.

Later she even saw him killing a few Xin Royal Clan guards who tried to rob him after he flexed his wealth in the tavern.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the time to observe the young boy for long and had to return to the capital.

A year passed, and with a twist of fate, she was about to get married to the young boy!

Maybe if she didn't find old writings about the strange white gateway in the Gao Clan's ancestral lands, she might not have even come here for her death!

'If he hadn't confirmed the presence of high-tier Spirit Vien, I may not have ever found this place so early.'

The 'he' she was referring to was, of course, the person who was disguised as her fiance and had met her a few months ago in the Gracious Sword Sect at her restaurant.

'Ye Tian Yun…'

She couldn't help but smile as his face flashed in her mind. 'Never thought I would remember someone's face before dying...' 

"Grr...."

A sudden growl snapped her back to reality.

Her smile receded as she stared at the beast in front of her.

Burning Wolf King. D Rank Soul Beast.

'I failed….'

Not only was she going to fail to return to Earth, but Ye Tian Yun also didn't know who she really was.

'In a way, it's good that he doesn't know me well… I just have immense curiosity about him... It's better if he never knows who I am.'

'I am sorry, Father… Second Brother… I couldn't avenge the First Brother and Fourth Brother….'

She sighed as the beast pounced on her, ready to tear her into pieces!

But just as it pounced, black-yellow lightning suddenly covered the hall!

'What…'

This sudden change confused her, but before she could react, someone jumped in front of her and slashed at the beast!

///Trivia:

- If you haven't noticed, Gao Suyin saw Ye Tian Yun for the first time when the latter came to the Lower Heavens after rebirth in Butler Liu's disguise and was throwing spirit stones at the people in the room for information about the state of Lower Heavens.

- One thing I want to make clear is that Gao Suyin is inherently a very curious person. And that was the reason why she found out a lot about Ye Tian Yun - first, she looked for Butler Liu's information, and then it wasn't long before she found out about Ye Tian Yun's identity. 

- In earlier chapters, it was mentioned that Gao Xuan (Gao Suyin) had successfully escaped from this situation, but in this chapter, we found out that the future has changed and she has entered the dungeon when she was just at the Peak of Tri-Qi Realms. This is why her life fell in danger.

- Another thing to note is the age of Ye Tian Yun - it's similar to Gao Suyin's actual age, which was what made her curious and is the main reason she became curious about him. Gao Suyin herself will explain this further in the future.
