Chapter 741: Chapter 735: A Hidden World
In the end, after discussing it well, Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen set off together.
After taking care of the tribe’s matters, Mei Qingchen went out with Su Muyao.
Mei Qingchen briefly told Su Muyao about the forests in various directions on the outskirts.
Su Muyao pointed to the forest on the far east and said, "Let’s go and check out this forest first."
The one to the east was the East Yang Mountain Forest that the system had mentioned to her.
Su Muyao didn’t want to waste time and wanted to precisely find the Concealing Breath Tree and return early.
She could really feel how strange the Taixu Secret Realm was.
Standing on the outskirts, even the air carried a scent of pollution and decay.
The Spiritual Energy was all covered up.
"Alright, let’s go there."
In front of Su Muyao, Mei Qingchen completely followed her lead.
Even if the forest she selected was extremely dangerous, Mei Qingchen didn’t care.
As long as his wife was happy.
Su Muyao said, "I’ll transform into my original form and fly you over."
Mei Qingchen’s expression changed, and he pressed down on Su Muyao’s shoulder to stop her, saying, "Don’t."
"Once the Immortal Phoenix’s aura leaks out, it will attract countless beastmen to fight over it."
The Immortal Phoenix Beastmen are extremely valuable, even in the Taixu Secret Realm.
If beastmen drank her blood, it could help them enhance their strength.
Mei Qingchen immediately transformed into his Golden Leopard form, looking at Su Muyao, he said, "Wife, let me carry you."
At this moment, Mei Qingchen’s voice was gentle and full of expectation.
Su Muyao looked at Mei Qingchen’s Golden Leopard form and found it really beautiful.
She had never been carried by Mei Qingchen like this before.
Su Muyao stepped forward to stroke his fur, and Mei Qingchen felt a sense of joy and comfort in both mind and body.
Then, his Golden Leopard form squatted down to make it easier for Su Muyao to get on.
Su Muyao said with a smile, "I can jump right up."
Though he knew this, Mei Qingchen was still willing to lower his head and kneel for his wife, inviting her to get on.
After Su Muyao climbed up and sat on the Golden Leopard, Mei Qingchen stood up and headed into the depths of the forest with her.
Mei Qingchen didn’t walk fast, "Wife, is this pace alright?"
He was afraid that too much bumping would make Su Muyao uncomfortable.
Actually, back when they were in the Beiluo Tribe, when Wen Nanxi and the others carried the wife out, he was extremely envious.
Back then, he also wanted to carry his wife, but he wouldn’t express it or please his wife.
He even offended his wife, making her unwilling to be close to him.
He ultimately felt regret in his heart.
But at this moment, carrying his wife in his original form seemed to suddenly make up for the past regrets in his heart.
Su Muyao felt that this pace was perfect for traveling and sightseeing.
But now, she wasn’t in that mood, and moreover, the forest of the Taixu Secret Realm, with its dense vegetation, blocked out the sky and sun, with many plants exuding an eerie aura, seemingly ready to transform at any moment to attack them.
Su Muyao wrapped her arms around the Golden Leopard’s neck and said, "Mei Qingchen, you can speed up a bit."
"I like it faster."
The speed of rushing forward, feeling the wind blowing, would feel wonderful.
Upon hearing Su Muyao’s words, Mei Qingchen didn’t know what he thought of, his ears turned red.
However, his original form’s speed was indeed very strong, "Wife, hold on tight."
"Mhmm."
Mei Qingchen leapt up, seemingly breaking free from shackles, racing swiftly through the forest.
With vigorous Qi, it seemed like a stream of light streaked past.
His beautiful golden fur exploded into a stream of glows amidst the forest shadows.
In just a moment, he had already darted several feet away.
Su Muyao, holding onto Mei Qingchen, felt the wind whistling past her ears.
The spirit plant brambles in the forest became blurred shadows, rapidly retreating backwards.
It seemed as if the entire forest was flowing along with the leopard’s sprint.
Surprise emerged in Su Muyao’s eyes.
She hadn’t expected the Golden Leopard’s speed to be so fast.
Faster than the running speed of her other beast husbands in their original forms.
Holding onto his original form, feeling the fur on the Golden Leopard, it was clean and fragrant, carrying a refreshing subtle scent.
The fierce wind, however, would fill the mouth and nose.
After a while, Mei Qingchen realized something, emitting a light to shield Su Muyao from the wind power.
Even though Mei Qingchen was fast, he was stable and strong, maintaining a steady pace, not letting her experience any bumps.
Each time Mei Qingchen leaped, he stepped on a peculiar rhythm, dodging sudden rock peaks and slanted branches, like a golden lightning bolt, clearing a path through the dense forest without hesitation.
"Wife, should we keep going?"
Mei Qingchen asked as he ran, constantly observing his surroundings, sensing for any Concealing Grass.
Su Muyao consulted the system.
The system said, "Host, keep running northwest in this direction, and I’ll inform you when we near the Concealing Breath Tree."
Su Muyao directed Mei Qingchen according to the system’s guidance.
...
A few days later, they reached a valley area, following the water flow inside, spotting a crevice in the middle of the cliff.
If it hadn’t been for the system’s guidance, Su Muyao wouldn’t have noticed this crack.
Following it inside, it was like a dark tunnel, revealing a whole new world of scenery when entering.
The air became fresh.
"This... what beautiful scenery."
Here, the mountains, rivers, and bird songs were harmonious, the Spiritual Energy abundant, completely unmatched by the outside world.
There were also many trees.
Su Muyao immediately spotted the Concealing Breath Tree.
"Mei Qingchen, look, there’s the Concealing Breath Tree, we really found it."
Excitedly, Su Muyao stepped forward to pick the leaves.
After picking, she directly stored them into her space.
Mei Qingchen looked at the environment here, with his phoenix eyes shimmering.
"Wife, thank you for finding such a place."
Mei Qingchen possessed the Purification Power, feeling that the pollution here was minimal.
The spirit plants thrived in lush abundance, the soil was fertile, and there was a waterfall, suggestive of ample mountain spring water.
An environment with such minimal pollution would only be found towards the central area of the Taixu Secret Realm.
However, this place was obviously far from the central area.
It could only be said that this was a forgotten place.
If his wife hadn’t led him here, he might not have found this place even if he wandered around the valley.
Su Muyao took a deep breath of fresh air, "I also found this place by sensing the aura and happened to locate it."
Mei Qingchen knew his wife had secrets, but he wouldn’t inquire about them.
"Qing Chen, I think the land here is very good, with mountains and water, suitable for farming."
"Given the shortage of food resources, food can be provided through planting."
She had many grain seeds in her space, which could be taken out to grow.
This place seemed like a Peach Blossom Spring.
Mei Qingchen looked at Su Muyao with warm affection, "It indeed is, the Golden Leopard Tribe can migrate here for survival in the future."
But they wouldn’t migrate immediately as it would attract other tribes’ attention.
Su Muyao climbed up a tree and looking aside, saw several trees not far away.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed, "Qing Chen, look over there, those are tea trees."
Su Muyao didn’t expect to find tea trees here.
The system exclaimed, "Host, those aren’t ordinary tea trees. Oh my! The light emitting from those trees can purify the surrounding environment."
"If the leaves are made into tea and drunk by beastmen, it could purify the pollution aura."
"Even if they consume some slightly polluted beast meat or even mildly mutated beast meat, they can drink this tea to purify it."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao was naturally excited.
She thought she saw some beet leaves too, which could be used for sugar, and she excitedly said, "There might be many ingredients here, let’s explore and see later."
