"What do you mean by that you know her?" Levina asked in surprise as Kai shook his head.

"Too many people are looking here. Wait a second." Kai said as he bent down and drew an x shaped symbol on Lana's forehead.

A bright flash of light suddenly covered the group as a formation sprung to life around them. Qin's eyes widened as she could no longer see Kai or anyone else as the formation blocked her eyesight.

"Now tell us how you know her?" Levina then asked as Kai sighed and sat down. The others followed his example and sat down.magic

"I might be wrong about her but still. Many years ago, I was on a visit to the half-beast realm as Risea had sent me there to gather some rare herb that grew there. The herb was incredibly rare and was not present in the wild. Only the ruler of the realm had the herb as it grew in her special garden. Instead of telling you let me just show you though I won't be with you." Kai answered as the world swirled.

The arc will be told from past Kai's perspective.

"Risea could have just come here herself." Kai sighed as he landed on the surface of the animal realm.

'The question is will I be able to get the herb and leave this place without causing any trouble?' He wondered as he took out the map Risea had given him.He didn't understand how Risea had a detailed map of the place but never came here herself. He looked at the map while wondering how easy it was to enter the half-beast realm.

Most of the other realms had powerful cultivators using their spiritual sense around the entire realm and these people would quickly catch anyone who was trying to enter the realm illegally.

But the half-beast realm had no such things as nobody came to restrain Kai as he looked at the map while walking.

He was wearing a black hooded jacket to hide the fact that he didn't have half-beast ears and he was wearing casual jeans since there were a small number of half-beast who didn't have a tail.

The place where he had landed was known as Xixaon but was commonly known as the catgirl heaven throughout the other realms.

This was because this continent had the highest number of catgirls available anywhere. But the surprising thing was that the entire continent only had three cities each with a different name.

The first one was called Nyander and was the capital of the continent and that was where Kai was going. The half-beast realm was considered the wildest of all realms where brothels were as numerous as sects on the other realms.

'I wonder why the ruler doesn't do anything about it.' Kai wondered but little did he know that he was in for a surprise.

"This is weird. I have been walking for so long and I still haven't encountered anyone here. Furthermore, the surroundings are still the same. Don't tell me…" Kai said as he looked at the map and realized that he had been roaming round in circles.

He just sighed and used the map to teleport a few meters at once as he kept going in the same direction. He ended in a desert first before continuing his journey as he reached Nyander in five days.On his way to the capital, he didn't encounter any small villages or even a single half beast. It was as though everyone lived in the three cities.

But when his gaze fell on the capital. He checked the map twice to make sure that he was at the correct place. After making sure, he could only stare at the place with wide eyes.

Billboards upon billboards of brothels hung all around the place. Some had catgirls on them while some had wolf girls, dog girls, lizard girls, etc. Some places even said that they had every type of girl one could possibly want.

Kai was watching this from a hill which was a few kilometers away from the city and he was already wondering whether coming here was the right thing.

The entire city was covered with a masked formation and didn't have any visible borders so if someone tried to enter it without paying, they would get burned by the formation but Kai could easily see it.

"I wonder what will happen if someone kidnaps me. Will Risea finally leave her home then and come searching for me." Kai muttered to himself as he walked towards the entrance of the city where two bulky guys with cat tails were grinning in front of a group of fox girls.

"Please let us enter the city. We don't have any money but if you let us enter the place then we might consider helping you a little." A girl with a red tail blood-red split pupil eyes asked the guards with an innocent-looking smile on her face.

"Okay, girls you can enter the place. Just remember to come back and help us later on." One of the guards said as he took out a scroll and bit his finger as he dropped his blood on the scroll.

A golden formation appeared behind them as a small space opened in it. The girls moved inside with smiles as the formation closed up as soon as the last one of them0 entered the place.

The guard put the scroll back inside his clothes as Kai moved towards them. The guards looked at Kai with bored expressions as they saw him wearing a hood.

"50 soul stones for entrance." The one who had let the girl enter for free said as Kai shook his head and touched their foreheads with his hands. Their entire body froze as he took out the scroll used by the guard and dropped a drop of blood of the guard's blood on it.

"I wonder if you will unfreeze when those girls will come back." Kai said with a chuckle as he dropped the scroll back and entered the city.

"Hey, what is your cultivation? Wanna spent a night with us?" The red-haired ox girl from earlier suddenly stopped Kai as she eyed his body with a hungry smile.

"If I wanted to spend a night with someone, I would rather spend it with my harem." Kai said as he teleported away and left behind a baffled group of fox girls.
