Chapter 832 - 820: Calm (First Update)
Ruirui looked at Su Muyao, Su Muyao nodded to her and said, "What your father Yue gave you, you can take it."
Ruirui heard his mother speak, so he accepted it, showing a joyful smile, "Thank you, Father Yue."
"If you like it, I’ll make you more."
While in the Taixu Secret Realm, time was rushed, and he could only do this for now.
Yue Wuhen knew that when he returned, he would see Ruirui, so he took the time to personally make these.
It was also a token of his affection for Zaizai.
Seeing Ruirui’s bright smile, Yue Wuhen couldn’t help but think of his own two Zaizai, missing them dearly, but to avoid worrying Su Muyao, he never showed these emotions.
Ruirui felt Father Yue was really good, he didn’t know why, but he just liked being close to Father Yue.
Because he felt there was a comforting aura around Father Yue.
Just staying near Father Yue felt wonderful.
At this moment, Ruirui didn’t understand that part of it was due to Yue Wuhen’s witch power, which naturally carried an affinity.
Ruirui looked at the toys in the box, showing a child’s joyful and excited expression, eager to play with them.
Shen Ci’an reached out his slender fingers to pinch his brow.
He wasn’t really a patient person, and when it came to Zaizai, he wasn’t meticulous or attentive enough.
But this was due to the inherent coldness in their Blood Clan roots.
He felt he was quite good to Zaizai, but he couldn’t compare to Yue Wuhen, it seemed.
However, he wouldn’t compare, for his patience and love were almost entirely given to his wife.
Of course, he loved Zaizai too, since Zaizai was born from his beloved wife.
He didn’t experience the love of a father-beast or female mother growing up, like being born of heaven and earth, so he didn’t know how to care for Zaizai.
But he would try to learn.
Shen Ci’an patted his hair and said, "Go play, your father and mother have things to discuss."
Ruirui obediently nodded, eagerly grabbing the toys to play.
Shen Yi and Shen Qi watched him, and there wouldn’t be any issues.
...
Su Muyao, Yue Wuhen, and Shen Ci’an discussed and then prepared to leave here, heading to the Baili Family.
Coincidentally, Teng Lixuan woke up, and naturally wanted to go along.
He could conveniently guide them too.
Su Muyao first sent Ruirui back to the Holy Mountain, Shen Ci’an arranged for all the Blood Shadow Guards to protect Ruirui.
Su Muyao set protective energy on Ruirui.
Yue Wuhen arranged for the defense and protective Magic Artifact from the Wushan Divine Hall.
After everything was arranged, they set off.
...
With Teng Lixuan leading the way, they quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Baili Family’s territory.
The system marveled, "Who would have thought that the Baili Family’s residence is behind this remote and eerie black mist."
"This black mist is all Blinding Techniques, arrays block everyone’s sight, if not for Teng Lixuan guiding, it would be hard for others to find this place."
Su Muyao’s expression changed several times.
Even with her immortal power, she might not be able to detect such a place.
Su Muyao looked at Teng Lixuan and said, "Escaping from the Baili Family must have been exhausting, with so many arrays outside, it’s easy to be trapped in them."
Teng Lixuan’s eyes gleamed with a hint of exotic, rippling light, "I am a Plant-type Beastman, with so many vines in the forest, it’s essentially my home turf, these arrays are merely Blinding Techniques, how could they trouble me."
Moreover, he had numerous Secret Techniques from inherited memory, his fingers touched the ground, releasing countless vines, manipulating the plants allowed him to discern the layout of the forest.
"Thank you this time."
Teng Lixuan curved his lips into a bewitching smile and said, "Miss Su, you see now I am useful, don’t you."
"Look at your Beast Husband, all Animal Beastmen, you actually need a Beast Husband like me, you should really consider it..."
Before he could finish, Teng Lixuan felt a cold gaze from behind, a chill swept over him.
No need to guess, it was Shen Ci’an’s gaze.
Even if Shen Ci’an was dissatisfied, he had to listen to Su Muyao.
As long as Su Muyao agreed to him being a Beast Husband, Shen Ci’an’s opposition would be useless.
Of course, he understood Shen Ci’an, a good wife should be possessed, not shared with others.
Su Muyao said, "Sorry."
Grateful for Teng Lixuan was genuine, but she couldn’t respond.
Because she had no such thoughts at all now.
All she could think about was rescuing Xiao Jihan and the others.
Teng Lixuan had been rejected many times, but he didn’t mind, he would keep demonstrating his value.
Shen Ci’an clenched his fingers, producing a "crack" "crack" sound, wishing he could break Teng Lixuan’s neck.
Yue Wuhen pressed his arm, shook his head at him, "Calm down."
Shen Ci’an’s bloodthirsty impulsive Vicious Energy was suddenly interrupted by Yue Wuhen, he regained calmness, suppressing that emotion.
With Teng Lixuan’s guidance, they quickly passed through the layers of array defenses set by the Baili Family.
The outer arrays were mostly Illusion Realms, similar to Blinding Techniques.
If anyone accidentally approached here, they would be swallowed by the black mist, actually entering the array illusion, and killed within the Illusion Realm array.
To outsiders, this place seemed eerie, and average people wouldn’t approach.
Probably this was how the Longevity Family could conceal their family territory.
Just after passing through the arrays, reaching inside, they saw dozens of beastmen emerge from the Baili Family’s main gate, leaving.
As they hurriedly traveled, they talked about the matter at hand.
"Baili Xu’s Life Token extinguished, meaning he is dead, this mission is important, everyone must be cautious."
"How could it be, how could Baili Xu die?"
"Even the clan’s treasure can be stolen, it’s possible they were killed, so we must bring back the item, kill all beastmen involved in this, especially that bizarre green-haired man."
"That man is extremely beautiful, skilled at bewitching hearts, the young miss was controlled by him, allowing him to escape."
Su Muyao heard these words, looked at Teng Lixuan beside her, and felt they were talking about him.
At this moment, they hid in the shadows, Su Muyao concealed everyone’s aura, temporarily avoiding detection.
Once these people left, Su Muyao and the others quietly approached the Baili Family’s gate.
The Baili Family was truly worthy of being the Longevity Family, their entire estate occupied the whole mountain.
Moreover, there was an Energy Shield surrounding it.
If they entered recklessly, they’d be easily discovered.
Teng Lixuan said, "My vines previously opened a tunnel, we can go through the tunnel."
With the tunnel, they could avoid the Energy Shields.
Teng Lixuan understood that Su Muyao currently didn’t want to engage the Baili Family head-on.
Not that they couldn’t fight, but it would consume ability and waste time.
Su Muyao now understood why he was so disheveled before.
Yue Wuhen couldn’t bear to let his wife crawl through a tunnel, so he said, "Let me."
Su Muyao replied without thinking, "No, your witch power hasn’t fully recovered."
Though he rested for a while, Yue Wuhen’s witch power only partially restored.
She couldn’t let him break the array again.
Yue Wuhen gently smoothed her furrowed brow, "This time, without witch power, these Energy Shields are nothing, the Witch Clan Seal can open an entrance without detection."
Yue Wuhen looked at her worried expression, his eyes softened with water-like ripples, "Believe me, this time it really is fine."
Su Muyao knew Yue Wuhen wouldn’t deceive her, so she nodded.
Yue Wuhen released the Witch Clan Seal, which rotated, and the Witch Rune appeared on it.
Yue Wuhen orchestrated hand seals, chanting ancient Witch Clan language.
Soon, the Energy Shield opened a circular entrance.
Su Muyao and the others easily entered the Baili Family’s area.
