Chapter 776 - 768: Familiar Aura (Second Update)
Su Muyao tried several times to get up, but it was useless.
Moreover, she couldn’t just ask Teng Lixuan to help her up, so she had no choice but to continue lying down, reluctantly accepting the situation and letting Teng Lixuan feed her the medicine.
Fortunately, Teng Lixuan seemed calm and didn’t have any ulterior motives towards her.
She pondered many things in her heart.
Especially regarding the issues of Plant-type Beastmen.
Teng Lixuan mentioned that their ancestral teachings forbid them from experiencing love or emotion.
Could it be that the Plant-type Beastmen went through some experience in the past, leading to such ancestral teachings?
How strange.
Teng Lixuan said he was feeding Su Muyao medicine, but in reality, the spoon was practically shoved into her mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
"I say, Young Master Teng, do you even know how to feed medicine?"
If she managed to drink half of the bowl of medicine, it was already considered good.
Teng Lixuan, looking apologetic, hurriedly wiped the medicine from Su Muyao’s mouth. "I’m truly sorry, I’ve never actually taken care of someone like this before."
As the Young Master of the Vine Clan, he was usually the one being taken care of by others.
He never needed to take care of anyone himself.
Even when someone in the clan got injured, there were others to care for them and no one would trouble him.
If not for the Holy Tree’s demand, he wouldn’t have come to Su Muyao’s side at all, let alone brew medicine and feed it to her.
To be honest, he had spent a long time mentally preparing himself before coming here.
Who would have thought, something seemingly simple became awkward as he tried to handle it.
Su Muyao was helpless.
Now, she missed Yue Wuhen and the others even more.
Seeing the flustered Teng Lixuan, Su Muyao understood he didn’t do this on purpose.
"Young Master Teng, have you never learned these things before?"
Teng Lixuan replied, "Naturally, I haven’t learned."
Su Muyao softly said, "My Beast Husbands had to learn many subjects since they were young, including how to take care of their wife."
Teng Lixuan was a bit surprised but soon understood, considering that Animal-type males vie for affection before their wives.
Females are undeniably spoiled, thus they have to learn how to take care of their wife.
Though Teng Lixuan was disdainful of this, he still said, "I should have learned these things earlier."
Su Muyao spoke, "No, that’s not what I meant."
"I just suddenly feel sorry for them, feeling they shouldn’t have to work so hard."
"I should treat them better, even better."
This was Su Muyao’s true feeling.
At this moment, reflecting on this, she had such a sentiment.
She really missed them now.
Teng Lixuan, though not understanding emotions, thought a male might be happy about this.
"If your Beast Husbands knew, they would be very happy."
Su Muyao thought about preparing more delicious food for them when they returned.
And hoped they wouldn’t get hurt.
Whenever she thought about them getting injured, her heart twisted painfully.
Su Muyao’s heart twisted, causing her body to hurt as well.
Her injury was indeed severe.
Su Muyao took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm and not think about it.
She had to recover quickly.
"Blood Spirit Clan!"
Teng Lixuan knew the previous question hadn’t been answered yet.
"I don’t know what kind of race the Blood Spirit Clan is, but it must be a Plant System race. When they transform into humanoid form, they have eerie blood-colored eyes called blood pupils. They possess unique pupil skills that can see through many things, their power is extremely formidable."
"So judging by the appearance of your Beast Husband, I thought he might belong to the Blood Spirit Clan."
Su Muyao’s heart stirred, Shen Ci’an could indeed see through many things, and through close contact, he would read minds.
Due to her request, Shen Ci’an refrained from using Mind Reading Technique on her anymore.
But he did have this ability.
"Is there more?"
Teng Lixuan said, "Soul Capture, the extraction of other people’s memories."
Su Muyao’s heart skipped a beat, Shen Ci’an indeed could obtain others’ memories through Soul Searching Technique.
However, using such a Soul Searching Technique demanded high superpower requirements, and each usage left Shen Ci’an extremely weak, needing many days of rest.
Could it be, Shen Ci’an had some Blood Spirit Clan blood in him?
"My Beast Husband Shen Ci’an is from the Blood Clan, an Animal-type male, and his inherited memory doesn’t mention the Blood Spirit Clan."
Teng Lixuan calmly said, "Then I don’t know. I merely saw a few simple records on an ancient parchment."
"Are they bloodthirsty? Do they lurk by day and go out by night?"
Teng Lixuan shook his head and said, "This I don’t know."
"But they wield a superpower that is red, that much is indisputable."
It was precisely because of this that he thought of the Blood Spirit Clan.
"I also don’t know where this race is located."
If it’s a Plant-type Beastman, might it be within the Fusang Forest?
...
Su Muyao spent another day and night in this house, drinking a lot of medicine. By the following morning, she was finally able to move.
Once she was able to move, Teng Lixuan urged her to use the Heart Blood Contract.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Teng Lixuan replied, "Naturally, to give you the Vine Heart Pearl sooner. If it stays exposed too long, its power will dissipate."
Actually, Teng Lixuan received news that the Thorn Flower Clan’s matter was nearing its end.
When Su Muyao’s Beast Husbands return, what if they don’t agree to his terms with Su Muyao?
Though he wouldn’t become Su Muyao’s Beast Husband, as a male’s territory instinct, he wouldn’t want other males near their wife.
If only he had changed to a female during his coming-of-age ceremony.
Instead of remaining male.
Su Muyao naturally didn’t know Teng Lixuan’s little scheming, so she agreed.
Su Muyao used heart blood to establish a contract for Teng Lixuan, and Teng Lixuan then gave the Vine Heart Pearl to Su Muyao without hesitation.
When Su Muyao held the Vine Heart Pearl, she felt its essence and was suddenly struck by a familiar aura.
She realized something, and her heart trembled.
"Sang Yao?"
Why would it have Sang Yao’s aura?
"This Vine Heart Pearl is the Vine Clan’s treasured clan artifact. Do you know where it came from or who forged it?"
As previously mentioned, it seemed akin to a Magic Artifact.
But this thing should hail from a very ancient era, beyond a hundred thousand years ago.
It shouldn’t be related to Sang Yao.
But this aura was unmistakable.
Teng Lixuan shook his head and said, "That I’m not sure about. My clan’s origins and past events are unknown to all clan members."
Su Muyao was silent for a while, suppressing her thoughts temporarily.
She thought of something and continued to ask, "By the way, do you know what happened to the Thorn Flower Clan? Are my Beast Husbands okay?"
She realized now that she was staying in a remote valley within the Vine Clan.
Usually, Teng Lixuan received quite a bit of news through Vine Clan Beastmen.
Teng Lixuan said, "Do you have anything to identify or a letter perhaps, I can have someone send word to them."
At this point, Su Muyao trusted Teng Lixuan, knowing he wouldn’t dare harm Yue Wuhen and the others, so she wrote a letter.
Teng Lixuan was so proactive because he was eager to leave the Taixu Secret Realm and go outside.
...
That evening, Su Muyao met Yue Wuhen and the other three in the valley.
Even though Yue Wuhen read in the letter that the wife was fine.
They still worried the letter might be false, so seeing Su Muyao healthy in person, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These past days, they’ve been fighting the Thorn Flower Clan, supplementing spirit stamina with elixirs without rest.
Now their spirit had finally relaxed.
Su Muyao excitedly approached, "How are you all, are you injured?"
Yue Wuhen softly replied, "We’re fine."
Though they suffered some injuries, nothing was seriously wrong.
The most important thing was securing the Thorn Flower Clan’s clan treasure, the Thorn Flower Illusion Moon Liquid.
Yue Wuhen took out a vial to show Su Muyao.
Inside was precisely what they needed.
"That’s wonderful, now we can free Qing Chen from the Youluo Fragrance."
Yue Wuhen carefully observed Su Muyao, "Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"
Su Muyao had previously told Teng Lixuan not to mention to Yue Wuhen and the others that she had been hurt by Ci Zhuo.
She didn’t want Yue Wuhen and the others to worry.
Moreover, after drinking the medicine, she could use her Wood Element Ability to heal the outer injuries, leaving no visible traces.
