 Chapter 1

Planet K-0218.

A remote and primitive asteroid located in the northern part of the Beast Empire.

The technology here was far behind. With luxuriant vegetation and mutated beasts everywhere, the entire planet was full of dangers. It was the designated planet for the annual combat assessments of major imperial military academies.

In the primitive jungle with tall trees, the vegetation was extraordinarily prosperous. From time to time, one could hear the roars of beasts. In the early morning, the dappled sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves and shone directly on a piece of grass.

On the grass, next to the rocks, a disheveled and blood covered female was lying on the ground, completely unconscious.

Four-five meters away from the female, three men and one woman were packing their luggage.

These people were wearing the combat uniforms of the Imperial Royal Military Academy, with particle guns and laser swords around their waists, looking neat in the wartime attire. After a simple packing and putting tents and other items into the space, the four of them planned to leave.

Before leaving, the petite and cute long-haired female seemed a little hesitant. She tugged on the sleeve of the leading man, her voice was soft with a hint of guilt, "Elder Brother Fang, Miss Ye hasn't woken up yet and we're leaving like this, right? This can’t really do? … There’s so much blood on her head. Wouldn’t something happen?”

The female on the ground was in a very bad condition. There was still blood on her forehead, her lips were pale, and her long black hair was stained with blood and stuck to her pale cheeks. The bright red blood was dripping down from the wound. The red, black and white colors were distinct and shocking.

"Wanqiu, you don't have to worry about this matter. If she dies, she can only blame her own bad luck." The leading man had heroic features. A slight frown and an indifferent expression like a thousand years of frost. When looking at the female on the ground, it was as sharp as a knife.

"But, but...if anything happens to Miss Ye, the Ye Family will definitely put the blame on Elder Brother Fang. At that time...what should we do? After all, she is still Elder Brother Fang's fiancée. ..." The petite female bit her lip, with worry on her face, "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't help but be with Elder Brother Fang just now, Miss Ye wouldn't have been hurt..."

"Ha! Wanqiu, you are too kind. If she really dies, she deserves it!"

Before the leading man could speak, a young man with short short hair next to him immediately sneered: "Who in the entire Royal Military Academy doesn't know that our boss hates Ye Wenya? It was already said the engagement will be broken off, but she happened to rely on Marquis Fang’s debt of gratitude toward her parents and not let go and kept pestering. It’s enough that she always finishes last place in every pharmacy exam. This time, she deliberately squeezed Old Zhao out of the team and got in. Truly stupid and vicious!"

"What's more, even if she dies..by the time the exam ends in half a month, the body will have been eaten by mutated beasts...There is no evidence that the Ye Family can use to cause trouble for us."

"If Ye Wenya can wake up, even better... she can just use the contact device to inform the teacher to abandon the exam and get picked up?"

"Wanqiu, for your sake... these leftover prey we hunted last night can be regarded as our last gift to Ye Wenya." The young man with scattered hair brushed the bangs in front of his forehead and sneered. He raised his legs and kicked the half-eaten big-antlered deer they had hunted from the forest last night.

On a planet like K-0218 where the temperature was high all year round and contained mosquitoes and bacteria that multiplied very quickly, this ordinary beast that didn't contain any energy started to smell faintly in just one night. 

Wasn’t it perfect to match rotten meat to this disgusting stinky woman?

The young man with scattered hair sneered maliciously and subconsciously glanced at the little black cat that was thrown next to the big horned deer like a rag to the corner. This was a seriously injured black cat with its fur all knotted, looking extremely disheveled and unable to move. Its slightly undulating chest and abdomen showed that it still had a glimmer of hope.

"Tsk! What bad luck!"

The young man with scattered hair spat and kicked the black cat!

"Bang--" With a sound, the black cat's body became like a rag, flying high and heavily hitting Ye Wenya.

Planet K-0218 was a dangerous place. Ordinary beasts with little ability could only survive on this planet by relying on their strong reproduction and numerical advantage. When he picked up this lone black cat by chance yesterday, he thought it was a powerful mutated beast cub and wanted to eat it to replenish energy. However, he didn't expect that when he came back to get the instrument to test, he discovered that it was the lowest level ordinary beast!

"What a waste of my time!"

The young man with scattered hair still hadn’t vented out enough and cursed again.

 Beastmen need to replenish a large amount of energy when practicing. Ordinary beasts without energy could only simply fill their stomachs.

The leading man indifferently looked at the cat on the ground, turned around, and notified the others: "Let's go, time is tight...can't waste it on these small things. We will strive to reach the top 10 in points in the school by the end of the assessment. This assessment is for the first time being held jointly with senior students. Even the military department will come to screen, so you must seize the opportunity. "

"Let's go, let's go. What the Boss said is right!"

……

The buzzing sound of voices kept reaching Ye Wenya's ears. Her originally fuzzy consciousness gradually became clearer.

The burning pain on her forehead made Ye Wenya slowly open her eyes. In her hazy vision were the blurry back figures of the four people gracefully leaving.

By the time Ye Wenya woke up completely, covering her head and sitting up with heavy breathing, it was already noon.

The scorching sunlight penetrated the lush green woods and shone on the ground. The steaming high temperature made people sweat and a strong putrid smell spread in the air.

Ye Wenya saw the half of the big-antlered deer that was starting to rot at a glance and subconsciously frowned.

Obviously, a moment ago, she had self-destructed and died because she was collecting high-level magic plants in the Magical Beast Forest and encountered an enemy. Unexpectedly, now, she inexplicably arrived in an interstellar beast world and became the granddaughter of a third-class earl.
