Chapter 775 - 767: Favoring Females (First Update)
No matter how much Su Muyao’s body hurt at the moment, and despite her extremely pale complexion, she couldn’t help but worry about Yue Wuhen and the others.
The first thought on her mind was to find out how they were doing.
Teng Lixuan looked down at Su Muyao and found her worried expression quite astonishing.
In his understanding, animal-type females were selfish and indifferent, treating their Beast Husbands with extreme cruelty and coldness; they only cared about themselves, disregarding the life and death of the Beast Husband.
When a Beast Husband was injured or involved in an incident, they would abandon him.
After all, females were precious, and they could always marry a more handsome and powerful Beast Husband.
But this female was somewhat different.
"You’re in this condition, yet you’re still worried about them. No matter their situation, it is certainly better than yours."
Su Muyao softly replied, "It’s different, they are very important to me."
"Please tell me how they’re doing."
Su Muyao used a sincere and pleading tone.
Teng Lixuan clicked his tongue a few times, finding it odd, "You really are different from other females."
Su Muyao frowned slightly; she always felt that Teng Lixuan’s tone carried a prejudice against females.
"What’s wrong with other females?"
Teng Lixuan said, "Selfish and ruthless, only considering themselves during crucial moments of life and death, ignoring the life and death of the Beast Husband."
"I’m not talking nonsense; I’ve seen such situations several times."
Precisely because of this, he despised females, and during the coming-of-age ceremony, chose to become a male Beastman.
Su Muyao fell silent for a moment.
She knew that in Beast World, many females were indeed like this, which was also the rule of Beast World.
Even the Heavenly Dao favored females and did not allow male Beastmen to harm their wife, while allowing females to mistreat Beast Husbands.
It was indeed somewhat unreasonable.
Su Muyao asked, "Are plant-type Beastmen like this too?"
She knew little about plant-type Beastmen.
One of the reasons she agreed to Teng Lixuan’s terms and decided to take him out was to learn more secrets of plant-type Beastmen through him.
There’s even a possibility to learn about the path to Fusang Forest through Teng Lixuan.
"Your plant-type Beastmen can choose to become female or male, such cases should be rare."
Teng Lixuan replied, "Not all plant-type Beastmen can do so, the Thorn Flower Clan cannot."
"Their gender is determined at birth, either female or male."
"Our Vine Clan also has weak Beastmen like this. Only the Beastmen with strong talents have one opportunity to change their gender during the coming-of-age ceremony."
"Females in plant-type Beastman tribes are quite delicate, though not as merciless towards Beast Husbands as animal-type females, they’re not much better."
Although he chose to become a male Beastman, he never planned to develop feelings.
"Plus, due to our clan’s ancestral teachings, people generally do not fall in love or have feelings. Even when forming contracts, it’s because it feels appropriate."
"Unlike your animal-type Beastmen, males fall in love easily with their wives."
Su Muyao listened carefully, feeling it differed somewhat from Mei Qingchen’s words.
Sure enough, plant-type Beastmen understand plant-type Beastmen the best.
The information known to outsiders is always partial.
Pausing for a moment, Teng Lixuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with bewilderment, "Miss Su, I always feel it wasn’t like this in the past."
"In the past, females wouldn’t treat their Beast Husbands so excessively."
"I haven’t fully awakened to receive the Vine Clan’s inherited memory, but I vaguely sense that things weren’t like this before."
"For some reason, opinions shifted."
Teng Lixuan looked at Su Muyao, seeming to hope she could solve his confusion.
Su Muyao was taken aback as well.
Teng Lixuan’s thoughts were the same as hers before.
She too felt perplexed that the Heavenly Dao favored females.
Could it be that Beast World wasn’t naturally like this?
Su Muyao pondered and speculated, "Could it be that in the past, males harmed their wives, harming females, causing the Heavenly Dao rules to change?"
Teng Lixuan’s eyes shifted upon hearing this statement, "Oh, I really hadn’t considered this possibility."
He touched his chin, his gaze deepening, "However, this speculation is quite reasonable."
As the topic changed, Su Muyao reminded him, "Quick, tell me how my Beast Husbands are doing?"
Su Muyao’s heart was on edge, unable to suppress her worry for them.
Teng Lixuan’s expression remained indifferent, "Rest assured, your three Beast Husbands are remarkable. They’ve been battling with the Thorn Flower Clan for two days now."
"The Thorn Flower Clan suffered significant casualties but couldn’t deal with them."
"Among your Beast Husbands, there’s someone with a unique ability unlike other Beastmen; he can break Illusion Mirrors."
"The Thorn Flower Clan’s greatest strength is setting up illusion techniques in Illusion Realm domains. Without that, their combat abilities cannot affect your Beast Husbands."
"But to dissolve Youluo Fragrance, the Thorn Flower Clan’s treasure, Thorn Flower Illusion Moon Liquid, is needed, which isn’t easy to obtain."
Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured that they were alright.
At the moment, she was in no condition to help.
Staying there meant less trouble for them.
Thinking of something, Su Muyao asked, "What did you mean by Blood Spirit Clan earlier?"
Previously, when Teng Lixuan was about to attack her, Shen Ci’an happened to appear and fought with Teng Lixuan.
Seeing Shen Ci’an’s ability, Teng Lixuan mentioned the Blood Spirit Clan.
Teng Lixuan watched Su Muyao’s expression, with a smile tugging at his lips, "Miss Su, you’re in this state, and instead of thinking about resting, you’re just worried about your Beast Husbands, shouldn’t you consider yourself a bit more?"
Su Muyao was truly an anomaly, treating her Beast Husbands differently.
Su Muyao replied, "I’m fine, didn’t you bring the medicine? I’ll drink it!"
Su Muyao figured that if Teng Lixuan really intended to harm her, he wouldn’t go to such great lengths.
Besides, she knew healing techniques herself; the aroma she smelled from the medicine indeed came from quality spirit medicines, without issues.
Seeing her willingness to drink the medicine, Teng Lixuan took the bowl in his hand.
However, the medicine had cooled down, so he slightly catalyzed his superpower to warm it up.
Then he scooped a spoonful and brought it to Su Muyao’s lips.
Su Muyao felt uncomfortable, "I can do it myself."
Speaking, Su Muyao tried to sit up on her own.
Fortunately, she could still use a bit of superpower, but moving felt like her body was breaking apart.
Watching her struggle, Teng Lixuan said, "Miss Su, in your condition, you can’t move and drink the medicine yourself; let me feed you."
"Rest assured, since you don’t want me to be your Beast Husband, I have no improper intentions towards you."
"For now, we’re in a cooperative relationship. Your health is beneficial to me, so let me feed you."
He really didn’t know what Su Muyao was being stubborn about.
Had it been any other female hearing he was willing to be her Beast Husband, regardless of feelings, they would be delighted.
With his looks, strength, and background, gaining him as a Beast Husband should be nothing but beneficial.
Even if a Beast Husband Contract was formed without a substantial relationship, it wouldn’t matter; it would mean an additional fighter.
Su Muyao seemed to have a mindset he couldn’t understand.
But her uniqueness piqued Teng Lixuan’s curiosity, making him eager to explore her, even longing to understand her thoughts.
How could she be different from other females?
