Nine Hot Therians and Their Only One Queen novel Chapter 75

**Chapter 75: A Gene Disorder**

The message that arrived from “A Beast Without Huntress” was both enigmatic and electrifying, a secret that resonated with deep significance within the Suncrest Lineage on Central Planet. The sender, identifying themselves as a member of the Suncrest clan, had shared insights that sent a shiver down Edric’s spine, both alarming and intriguing. “As for the last situation,” the message stated cryptically, “that’s a secret of the Suncrest Lineage on Central Planet. I only know about it because I’m from the Suncrest clan myself. No one from any other tribe has a clue.”

Edric leaned back in his chair, the weight of those words pressing heavily on his mind. An unsettling feeling gripped him; this was not mere gossip but a thread that could unravel a much larger tapestry of truths. The message continued, “I’ve heard that this human female had much weaker senses than beastfolk, but her genes were flawless. She not only trained incredibly fast, but even more importantly, her blood could help males level up.”

His heart raced as the implications sank in. A human? With perfect genes? The notion sent icy chills coursing through his veins. “Man,” the message went on, “I’m only telling you this secret because you seem so genuine. Don’t spread it everywhere.”

A surge of gratitude swirled within Edric, but it was quickly overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of anxiety. He had been entrusted with information that could alter everything, yet the burden of keeping it was a weight he wasn’t sure he could bear.

“There was a story going around,” the message elaborated, “saying that one of our Suncrest clan members had a terrible talent. But after using the blood of a human female, he made it all the way to level 13.”

Level 13? Edric’s mind raced, the gravity of this achievement dawning on him. Yet, it was accompanied by a wave of foreboding. “But something happened after that,” the sender warned ominously. “Not long after he hit level 13, he ended up meeting the Beast God. I read all this in our clan’s library, but there’s only a little bit written down. Whether it’s really true or not, I can’t say.”

As soon as Edric received the message, it vanished, deleted by the sender in mere seconds. A sense of unease washed over him. What kind of status did “A Beast Without Huntress” hold within the Suncrest tribe? The username suggested a life marked by struggle or perhaps disgrace.

After receiving a reward of ten million star coins, it was no surprise that the sender would divulge such a significant secret. A gene disorder? A human? Neither of these revelations aligned with the hopes Edric had harbored. The thought of a gene disorder spiraled his mind into dark territory. Emma’s health was at stake, possibly even her very life.

But if she was indeed human, the implications became even more convoluted. Why would a beastfolk from the Suncrest clan possess knowledge of the superiority of human female genes? And how could they know that their blood could enhance the abilities of beastfolk? It was unfathomable. If a human with such perfect genes had ever existed within the Empire, the uproar would have been deafening. The only explanation for the silence surrounding it would be a cover-up by a powerful beastfolk, someone capable of manipulating the truth.

“Where did that human female in the story go?” Edric pondered, his thoughts racing wildly. If a human with flawless genes and the ability to elevate beastfolk ever appeared, she would undoubtedly become the eye of a terrifying storm. The consequences would be dire.

The Empire had a notorious history of violence against females, a dark legacy that haunted its past. Countless cases had been documented, each more horrific than the last. Edric recalled the chilling tales of beastfolk who, dissatisfied with the huntress chosen for them by the Beast God, resorted to bribing outcast beastfolk—those banished from the Empire—to do their bidding. These outcasts would be sent after the females they wished to harm, often resulting in tragic outcomes. Even the Interstellar Hunter Alliance had been known to harbor such exiles in the outer regions, a grim reminder of the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of their society.

Desperation clawed at Edric’s insides as he clung to the hope that Emma’s troubles were merely the first kind. She had fought valiantly against countless beasts, living in solitude, and perhaps her diminished senses were simply the result of an old injury. Maybe she just wanted to keep it hidden, to shield herself from the judgment of others.

In the aftermath of the revelations that weighed heavily on Edric, the emotional landscape of the chapter culminated in a tumultuous blend of hope and despair. The cryptic message from “A Beast Without Huntress” had opened a door to a world fraught with danger and uncertainty, yet it also ignited a flicker of determination within him. As he grappled with the implications of Emma’s potential genetic legacy, he found himself torn between the dread of what could befall her and the fierce desire to protect her at all costs. The urgency of his feelings crystallized in the chaos of the moment, as he witnessed Emma’s fierce defense of Coalball, a testament to her unwavering spirit. This small act of courage reminded him that even in the face of overwhelming odds, there was strength to be found in vulnerability and connection.

As the chapter closed, Edric recognized that their journey was just beginning, fraught with challenges that would test their bond and resolve. The stakes had never been higher, and the shadows of the Empire loomed large over their lives. Yet, amidst the swirling uncertainties, he felt a burgeoning sense of purpose. Emma’s struggle was not just hers alone; it was a call to action for him, a reminder that love could thrive even in the darkest of circumstances. With the weight of the Suncrest lineage pressing upon them, Edric was determined to uncover the truth, to shield Emma from the horrors of their world, and to forge a path forward together. Their lives were intertwined in ways they had yet to fully understand, but he knew one thing for certain: they would face whatever came next side by side, ready to challenge the very fabric of their fates.
