Free Web NovelChapter 750: Chapter 742: Unable to Tell Apart
When Mei Qingchen spoke, he also transformed into his original form, the Golden Leopard.
Although Mei Qingchen couldn’t fly, as a Golden Leopard, his speed was incredibly fast when he sprinted.
"Besides, in this forest, it’s safer to stay hidden on the ground than to fly."
"There are many large birds and beasts in Taixu Secret Realm; it’s dangerous in the air."
"Shen Ci’an’s current strength may not be sufficient to protect the wife in the air."
Shen Ci’an was so angry upon hearing this that his face turned white, "Mei Qingchen, don’t attack people like that."
"You speak as if you’re very strong. If you’re so strong, how did the wife almost get harmed by Teng Lixuan?"
"Besides, the dangers on the ground are greater, and plant-type beastmen are best at controlling spirit plants on the ground..."
The two of them started arguing again.
Seeing their argument getting more intense, Su Muyao quickly reached out, saying, "Stop, stop..."
No matter how much they argued, they still listened to Su Muyao.
When Su Muyao asked them to stop, they really did stop and said nothing.
But the looks they gave Su Muyao were filled with deep affection and anticipation...
Facing their gaze, Su Muyao couldn’t bring herself to say no.
"Well, how about you draw lots to decide?"
Back in the Beiluo Tribe, whenever there was a dispute, they settled it this way.
This method worked very well.
Shen Ci’an’s narrow eyes sparkled as if emitting electricity, and he said softly and affectionately, "I’ll listen to the wife; whatever she says goes."
Mei Qingchen also nodded, "Alright."
Su Muyao took out some items from her space for drawing lots and let the two of them draw.
In the end, Shen Ci’an won.
So Su Muyao sat on Shen Ci’an’s back and was taken into the air by him.
Mei Qingchen ran swiftly on the ground, always keeping an eye on Su Muyao’s position in the air to ensure her safety.
Though Shen Ci’an won the draw, he knew that the wife’s safety was the top priority.
He didn’t fly very high and matched Mei Qingchen’s direction and speed.
It was as if they had reached a mutual understanding.
Sitting on Shen Ci’an, Su Muyao could feel him shielding her from the wind.
Shen Ci’an controlled their flying speed, cautiously protecting her.
Su Muyao also saw a few birds, but before the birds could approach, Shen Ci’an dealt with them using his superpower.
Halfway through the flight, Su Muyao suddenly thought of Xie Guixue for some reason.
She remembered when Xie Guixue once transformed into his original form and flew with her in the air on the Mortal Beast Continent.
But later...
Thinking of Xie Guixue brought up many complex emotions within Su Muyao.
There was sadness, regret, love, and unwillingness...
So many emotions that she couldn’t even distinguish them.
Especially whenever she thought of Xie Guixue, her heart ached with bitterness, and her eyes felt sore.
She tried to distract herself from thinking about it.
Flying with Su Muyao, Shen Ci’an was always focused on her and could sense something, softly asking, "Wife, what’s wrong? What makes you unhappy?"
Su Muyao knew the beast husbands had keen perception, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and said, "Nothing much, just recalling the time in the Beiluo Tribe."
"Back then, everyone was together, and it was nice."
Shen Ci’an sighed, "Yes, it was nice back then. I blame myself for returning late and delaying for a long time."
Otherwise, he could have spent more time with the wife.
He never expected that the previous "her" would disappear and such a wonderful wife would return.
Shen Ci’an paused and said, "Wife, after everything is settled, we can still go back to live in the Beiluo Tribe."
"We can expand and renovate the house, and by then, the children will have a place to stay."
Undoubtedly, Shen Ci’an was quite good at comforting people.
Imagining that scene, with everyone together and the children playing happily.
The Beiluo Tribe may be cold, but with heated kangs, woodfire cooking, and snow falling outside, it’s beautiful.
Su Muyao’s mood lifted immediately.
"Mm."
"The house in the Beiluo Tribe is always there."
"Aren’t you curious about how our little one is doing?"
Thinking of his child, Shen Ci’an’s narrow eyes softened with a warm glow, a remarkable sensation.
I have a child in this world, sharing my bloodline, born by my beloved wife for me.
Actually, the day when Shen Jinsuo formed the contract with the wife, his consciousness was the clearest.
"I know that the wife must have settled him well."
Thinking of the child, Shen Ci’an felt his love for the wife growing even stronger and more profound, along with a sense of gratitude.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Wife, aren’t you afraid the Blood Clan child’s presence might put your life at risk?"
They are Blood Clan Beastmen, and he is a pure-blooded beastman. Previously, as the Blood Emperor, nurturing a Blood Clan child was even more challenging.
Because the child’s nature was more bloodthirsty.
Blood Clan females don’t want to make any sacrifice, let alone females from other clans.
Therefore, there aren’t many Blood Clan beast children.
Females from other clans, upon hearing about Blood Clan males, even if the males were beautiful and powerful, were unwilling to choose them as beast husbands.
Su Muyao replied, "I didn’t think too much about it. I love you and the child."
"Although he was bloodthirsty while in my womb, after being born, he’s very smart and sensible, very adorable."
Thinking of Ruirui, Su Muyao missed him dearly.
Ruirui was so sensible that it made her heart ache.
"But don’t worry, Shen Yi and Shen Qi are guarding him in the residence you arranged, along with Di Fu Yuan..."
Su Muyao explained briefly.
But no explanation was necessary; Shen Ci’an was reassured.
Deep down, he’s cold and emotionless, but because he loves the wife, he loves the child too.
So, after resolving matters of the Holy Mountain, his first thought was to find the wife.
As for the child, he came after the wife.
And she’s truly a wonderful mother.
Many female beasts, after giving birth, leave everything to the father beast to handle.
The Blood Clan is even more so.
"Wife, thank you."
Shen Ci’an suddenly seemed serious, catching Su Muyao off guard.
Holding his neck, Su Muyao whispered by his ear, "Shen Ci’an, why suddenly thank me like this? That’s not like you."
"The wife had a hard time giving birth to the child for me."
Su Muyao said, "It wasn’t difficult. I adore the child."
In the Beast World, giving birth is much easier, taking only a month.
Shen Ci’an was deeply moved, feeling his love for the wife growing stronger each day.
Remembering something, Su Muyao asked, "By the way, didn’t you fuse before and become Shen Jinsuo? Why did you suddenly change back?"
"And your strength has regressed quite a bit. Did something happen?"
Su Muyao knew that under normal circumstances, once fused, there would be no Shen Ci’an, only Shen Jinsuo.
Unexpectedly, he came back.
Su Muyao was both happy and a bit worried.
Shen Ci’an stayed silent for a while, unsure how to explain to the wife.
"The Pavilion Master of the Blood Killing Pavilion is a pure-blooded beastman. Normally, pure-blooded beastmen cannot be killed by other pure-blooded beastmen. But after becoming the Blood Emperor, I gained the heritage belonging to the Blood Emperor, which was passed down for a long time. That hereditary memory comes from the Holy Tree of the Holy Mountain, and a sacrifice is needed to obtain the power bestowed by the Holy Tree, which can kill that pure-blooded beastman..."
"Originally, it was supposed to be my sacrifice, but in the end, it was Xuan Che who sacrificed himself and left me behind."
He knew that Xuan Che also loved the wife.
In fact, they were of the same lineage and shared the same emotions; moreover, after the fusion as Shen Jinsuo, he naturally developed feelings during the time spent with the wife.
Normally, emotionless Blood Clan pure-blooded beastmen only considered themselves, being selfish and indifferent.
But precisely because of the emotions, they were willing to sacrifice for each other.
Pausing for a moment, Shen Ci’an still said, "Wife, Xuan Che had the same feelings as me; he also loved the wife."
Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao’s lashes quivered, her expression changed a few times, and her heart sank. She couldn’t help but softly ask, "Will he... will he ever come back?"
