Chapter 827 - 815: Identical (Second Update)
After bathing, Su Muyao came out of the next room, her expression having returned to normal.
Yue Wuhen naturally picked up a towel to help her dry her hair.
Currently, Yue Wuhen’s mystical powers haven’t recovered, and he can’t use them to dry her hair.
Shen Ci’an’s blood-colored superpower also can’t be used to dry hair, so he joined Yue Wuhen to help Su Muyao with it.
Su Muyao said, "I can handle it myself, you should both sit down and eat together."
As she spoke, Su Muyao gently used some immortal power, a full spectrum of light enveloping her hair, and in no time, her hair was dry.
As she performed these actions, Su Muyao also thought of Hua Linye; he possesses the Fire Ability.
Every time after washing her hair, he would help her dry it.
Perhaps, what she misses isn’t just this ability, but Hua Linye himself.
During the meal, Yue Wuhen and Shen Ci’an kept serving Su Muyao food, barely attending to their own meal.
A warm feeling of emotional warmth rose in Su Muyao’s heart.
She felt grateful that they were still by her side.
Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to carry on.
She used her chopsticks to serve them food as well, "You should eat too, don’t just focus on serving me."
"You need to take care of yourselves; you can’t afford to get into any more trouble."
Yue Wuhen didn’t have much of an appetite.
Shen Ci’an, as a Blood Clan Beastman, had little need for food.
Yet they both were willing to keep Su Muyao company at the meal.
Seeing her eating well, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Su Muyao understood that she had to take care of herself well in order to better search for Xiao Jihan and the others.
After the meal, Su Muyao urged Yue Wuhen and Shen Ci’an to go rest and sleep.
They had been watching over her and hadn’t properly rested.
Though Su Muyao had slept a long time, she found it hard to fall asleep.
She picked up the mysterious scroll of the Ice Wolf Beast God, which depicted the Ice Wolf Beast God’s long hair with a snowy sheen and the shadowy beast god apparition of the Ice Wolf Beast Body beneath.
It looked exactly like Xiao Jihan.
Su Muyao reached out gently to touch the scroll, softly murmuring Xiao Jihan’s name, "Jihan..."
"Where exactly are you?"
"I miss you very much and am very worried about you."
She felt as though it had been ages since she last saw Xiao Jihan.
As Su Muyao looked at the scroll, her longing intensified, and memories of the past few moments surfaced in her mind with her fingertips brushing over the scroll, unconsciously releasing a trace of immortal energy.
At this moment, Su Muyao’s yearning merged into the scroll, and she felt an exceptionally pure warmth climbing up her fingertips, mingled with the aura of Divine Blood, as if ancient powers were awakening after a long slumber.
Her Divine Sense was suddenly gripped, dragging her out of the constraints of reality.
The surrounding light and shadow abruptly twisted and shattered, and the surrounding sounds seemingly receded into the distance.
Her Divine Sense seemed to have been pulled into a particular place.
The moment her Divine Sense landed, Su Muyao saw the scene before her clearly.
This was a primitive tribal environment, a tribe of Wolf Beastmen, dwelling within caves.
Her Divine Sense seemed to be guided toward an isolated cave.
The light within the cave was dim, with only weak light through the entrance barely illuminating the interior.
Inside the cave, she saw upon a piece of Beast Skin lay a fully snow-white Ice Wolf Beast, its fur pure without a trace of impurity.
Its beautiful white fur was drenched with thick black-red blood, revealing fierce wounds.
Its foreleg twisted at an eerie angle, clearly broken, and its formerly tall back was now slightly hunched, its chest feebly rising and falling.
Its icy beast eyes were half-closed, bearing an undeniable exhaustion and pain, each breath accompanied by faint gasps, each rise and fall seemingly agonizing.
Even so, it still emitted a powerful aura of pressure.
It seemed exhausted beyond measure, yet dared not close its eyes fully, remaining half-asleep and half-alert.
Seeing this, Su Muyao’s complexion changed drastically, her heart feeling as if it were being hammered.
"Jihan, is that you?"
She couldn’t be mistaken; this was precisely what Xiao Jihan’s true form looked like.
Su Muyao felt an overwhelming heartache, wanting to reach out to Xiao Jihan.
But in her current state of being only a Divine Sense, she couldn’t touch him, her fingers merely passing through his body.
"Jihan..."
No matter how Su Muyao called, Xiao Jihan couldn’t hear her at all.
At that moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps and aggressive shouting near the cave’s entrance reached her.
Su Muyao’s Divine Sense instinctively drifted toward the entrance, where she saw several adolescent Black Wolf Beastmen approaching a fox cub, each holding weapons made from beast bones.
"Hand over the thing."
"I saw him dig red fruit from the ground; that must be food."
"Give it over."
"You can’t be hoping your dying wolf beast father will save you, the fox cub, can you? Your father beast and female mother certainly abandoned you; you’re just picked up by your wolf beast father."
"He’s injured from hunting and is dying, can’t use any abilities, won’t take care of you, give us the thing."
The fox beast cub was shrinking in the corner, its red fur in disarray, with blood marks on its mouth, its beautiful fox eyes full of coldness and vigilance.
"You’re talking nonsense; my Xiao’s father will definitely be fine."
"That thing is for my Xiao’s father to eat."
The red fox cub glared angrily at the Black Wolf Beastmen.
Initially, they welcomed Xiao’s father into the tribe voluntarily; Xiao’s father came here for him.
But these Beastmen were malicious and harmed Xiao’s father.
Yet he promised Xiao’s father not to expose his real strength.
He couldn’t use his Fire Element Superpower now.
Because it’s something that the Beastmen here fear.
He’s still young, he can’t do that.
But they pushed too far.
The adolescent Black Wolf Beastman revealed a fierce look, "If he’s not willing to hand it over, let’s not be polite."
"Yeah, with Snow Season approaching, if we don’t want to starve, let’s act."
Su Muyao watching this scene felt her heart exploding with pain, "No, no..."
"Da Bao, Da Bao..."
Su Muyao’s pain brought tears to her eyes as she wanted to help but couldn’t do anything.
This was her Da Bao, unmistakably, this was Da Bao.
But Da Bao clearly had nine tails, how did it become six?
At that moment, a majestic wolf’s roar rang out.
Following that, Xiao Jihan emerged from the cave.
His icy gaze swept over the wolf beastmen, causing their legs to buckle with fear, sitting on the ground, unable to act.
"Isn’t he supposed to be a cripple?"
"I... don’t know..."
They learned from their elders that the fox cub’s wolf beast father was severely injured and became a cripple, leading them to provoke.
They couldn’t tolerate the tribe having such a Fox Beastman.
Moreover, the Ice Wolf Beastman treated him like a treasure.
Their father beast and female mother never treated them like that.
They couldn’t help feeling jealous.
But they instinctively feared this mighty Ice Wolf Beastman.
Previously, the tribe got plenty of food because he led the hunts.
