Chapter 796 - 788: Transformation
The system immediately used the System Power to quietly probe the surroundings.
It didn’t dare to release too much System Power, only cautiously and bit by bit.
After probing, it hurriedly retracted its power.
Because the system knew that in the Taixu Secret Realm, for some reason, there was a power suppressing it.
If it was found out, it might fall into slumber again.
"Host, I felt a gaze from the top of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, that person’s aura is very dangerous, somewhat dark and cold, I didn’t dare to investigate further."
Su Muyao’s expression became grave.
Even the system felt it was dangerous, it must be that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion indeed hides some unknown secrets.
Su Muyao raised her head, looking towards that pavilion not far away.
Although she couldn’t clearly see who was on the top floor, she instinctively felt uneasy.
Yue Wuhen and the others had their attention on Su Muyao, listening to her words, Yue Wuhen said, "It should be someone from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"That gaze is coming from over there."
"But that person hides in the shadows, the aura is cold and indistinct at the moment."
Teng Lixuan, seeing that Su Muyao’s attention was not on the jewelry, looked in the direction she was gazing and naturally saw the tower-like building.
Teng Lixuan looked in that direction and explained, "That is the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"It’s built on seven levels; reportedly, the first three floors contain treasures for sale, the fourth floor is accessed only by people of noble standing, and the top three floors are for the internal personnel of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."
"Miss Su need not worry, the rules here at the Ten Thousand Treasures Collection are set by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, they won’t break their own rules, let alone do anything to us here."
Thus, Su Muyao temporarily put it out of her mind.
However, she was concerned that if the Beastmen of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were watching them, it would be challenging to investigate the secrets behind it.
With these thoughts, Su Muyao looked towards the place not far away where the Cat Clan Beastmen set up their stall.
She saw Mao Xize busy at work, his profile in the sunlight becoming more like ice and snow, a cold, clear aura.
Su Muyao became momentarily absent-minded.
Why in her absent-minded state, did she think there was a slight resemblance to Xie Guixue’s aura?
But how could it be possible, no matter what, Mao Xize had no relation to Xie Guixue.
Yue Wuhen said, "We should also find a place to set up a stall."
Su Muyao replied, "Alright."
They arrived a bit late, so the stall they set up was a bit off the main path.
Shen Ci’an wasn’t worried at all about the stall being in a remote location.
His wife was capable of making the business thrive.
Whether it was in the past in Yunxiao City or now.
If the goods are good, they won’t fear an out-of-the-way location.
Su Muyao directly took out the medicine and Purification Elixir.
Mei Qingchen’s sacred and profound phoenix eyes moved, "Wife is taking out the Purification Elixir already?"
The original plan was to sell ordinary medicines first.
Su Muyao explained in a low voice, "Since the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has taken notice of us, just as well, I’ll use the Purification Elixir to draw them out."
"To see what their purpose is."
"Or build the plank road overtly while secretly crossing the Wei River to catch the enemy off guard."
Su Muyao’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Upon seeing this smile, Shen Ci’an knew she had a plan.
Teng Lixuan said, "Then I’ll also gather the Vine Clan Beastmen, ready to act at any moment."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, turning to Teng Lixuan, "You..."
What Su Muyao wanted to ask was, that he actually mobilized his people’s power because of her decision.
She knew how much Teng Lixuan cherished his people.
Teng Lixuan, seeing Su Muyao’s gaze, knew he’d made the right decision, and in a low voice, said, "Miss Su, if you feel touched, how about letting me be your Beast Husband."
"I can do more for you."
Listening to these words, the corners of Su Muyao’s mouth twitched.
Mei Qingchen stepped forward to block Teng Lixuan.
Preventing Teng Lixuan from showing his face before the wife.
"If you wish to become the wife’s Beast Husband, you’re dreaming."
He had employed all his skill before the wife would overlook past grievances, not drive him away, and be willing to let him be the true Beast Husband.
And now Teng Lixuan wanted to become the wife’s Beast Husband just like that.
If it weren’t because Teng Lixuan was left by the wife, Mei Qingchen would have used every method to drive him away long ago.
Shen Ci’an further stepped forward and gently embraced Su Muyao, moving her slightly to the side, then lazily holding her, releasing a charming aura, "Wife, Teng Lixuan is doing this with a purpose."
"My heart for my wife is sincere; my wife must not be moved."
"I will protect the wife; my life belongs to the wife."
As Shen Ci’an spoke, his entire being emanated an enchanting aura, almost unable to help attaching himself to Su Muyao.
Holding Su Muyao, he lowered his head, his breath fell on her neck.
What to do? The wife’s aura was too enticing, being close to her was unbearable.
Mei Qingchen was initially on guard against Teng Lixuan, only to turn and find Shen Ci’an clinging to the wife.
Mei Qingchen tugged on Shen Ci’an and softly said to Su Muyao, "Wife, don’t worry, I’ve already sent a message to the tribe, everyone will arrive early and be ready in the vicinity."
After they dealt with the Feng Clan, Mei Qingchen used the Secret Technique inherited from the Golden Lotus Beastman to quickly send a message to the Golden Leopard Clan.
In matters concerning Su Muyao’s safety, Mei Qingchen naturally had to be prepared ahead of time.
The matter of protecting the wife cannot be casually handed over to others.
Shen Ci’an raised an eyebrow and looked at Mei Qingchen, unmoved.
After seeing the wife once more, Shen Ci’an hadn’t had a proper intimate moment with her.
Being this close, he felt a tide of emotions stirring within.
Su Muyao could feel the heat rising from Shen Ci’an’s body, realizing something, she began to push Shen Ci’an away.
"Wait a minute, I still have to set up the stall."
Shen Ci’an glanced at Yue Wuhen, who was seriously busy, and said, "Yue Wuhen is arranging the stall, there’s no need for you to do it."
"Wife, I’m in pain..."
When Shen Ci’an said this, his voice carried a husky and deep tone, as if a veil was stirring the heart, particularly enchanting.
It made Su Muyao’s heart quiver, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
"Shen Ci’an, this is a marketplace."
"What’s the big deal, holding my own wife is perfectly normal."
Su Muyao knew that the customs of the Beast World were relatively primitive, and for a Beastman to hug their wife or even kiss in public was considered normal.
But Su Muyao still felt embarrassed.
Besides, Yue Wuhen and the others were around.
"Actually I’m just in pain, feeling uncomfortable all over."
"Wife, just let me hold you for a bit, really, just for a moment."
These days, the wife was also busy, and he hadn’t had a good intimate time with her.
In the Golden Leopard Tribe, the wife was mostly busy preparing potions, even refining elixirs.
For some reason, hearing Shen Ci’an’s pleading tone, Su Muyao’s heart softened.
She couldn’t bear to push him away.
Su Muyao felt a sensation on her neck, as if she could feel Shen Ci’an’s teeth emerging.
Su Muyao asked, "Didn’t you take the Blood Pill I newly formulated for you?"
Earlier, it was known that the Blood Pill with purifying tea water could suppress Shen Ci’an’s bloodthirsty instinct, so Su Muyao refined such a Blood Pill.
Shen Ci’an sighed and said, "Does the wife not know, I can’t resist the wife’s allure."
The deeper the love, the harder it is to control the bloodthirsty instinct.
"I need more of the wife’s love..."
Shen Ci’an whispered this in Su Muyao’s ear.
Mei Qingchen, seeing this scene, was absolutely furious, "Shen Ci’an, you’re doing this on purpose."
In his presence, occupying the wife like this, Mei Qingchen almost couldn’t stand it.
It just felt incredibly glaring.
At this moment, he couldn’t maintain calm and reason.
Teng Lixuan, watching this scene, also for some reason, felt it was an eyesore.
Is this the possessiveness of a Beastman over his wife?
He had never understood this feeling before.
Now he seemed to understand a bit, yet found it an eyesore.
But why?
Why did he feel it was an eyesore?
For a moment, Teng Lixuan was also puzzled.
He absolutely couldn’t believe that he’d largely changed his perception of animal-type females, that his attitude towards Su Muyao had long since changed.
It no longer was a resistant attitude.
Yue Wuhen was taking items out of the Space Ring and placing them properly.
Watching them vie for favor, his fingers trembled slightly, yet he continued to act nonchalant.
...
As for the other side
The Cat Clan beastman Mao Xize, who was setting up a stall, didn’t know why, but when he looked up and saw the stall of Su Muyao and the others not far opposite, seeing Shen Ci’an, such a tall man, lowering his head to almost tightly embrace Su Muyao, he was startled.
At that moment, he seemed to be frozen, as if some dark aura was surging out from his body.
His appearance faintly had some strange changes.
At this time, the Great Elder saw him standing rigidly, looking at him, his face changed, and quickly slapped Mao Xize on the face.
"Wake up quickly."
Mao Xize was stunned, a bit dazed, "Great Elder, why did you hit me?"
"It’s broad daylight, not night, you almost transformed just now, did you know?"
The Great Elder always felt that Mao Xize’s appearance at night seemed more like he was possessed.
But it wasn’t possession.
He couldn’t say for sure.
Just felt that Mao Xize’s transformed appearance made them feel afraid and terrifying.
