Free Web NovelChapter 751: Chapter 743: Possession
Su Muyao still remembered Xuan Che and knew that Shen Jinsuo was the fusion of Shen Ci’an and Xuan Che.
Hearing about Xuan Che’s sacrifice, her heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Shen Ci’an thought of Xuan Che, and he also felt uncomfortable.
His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "I don’t know."
"Perhaps he can come back, perhaps he cannot."
"But I will find a way to bring him back; there will always be hope."
"If we can find out the origin of that Holy Tree, there might be a way."
Su Muyao listened to this, and her eyes emitted a light of hope, "Where did your Blood Clan Holy Tree come from, and what kind of tree is it?"
Su Muyao had stayed in the Blood Race Holy Mountain before and didn’t know there was such a tree; she hadn’t seen that Holy Tree either.
She didn’t know what it looked like.
"When I was with the Xuanyuan Clan on the Cang Beast Continent, they worshiped their Holy Tree, called Xiao Xing, and I could communicate with it using my mind."
"But later I heard it disappeared along with Yun Qinglan when the Ascension Road was opened, vanishing with the Xuanyuan Tribe."
Thinking about Yun Qinglan, Su Muyao also felt a sense of melancholy.
They had a childhood sweetheart affection.
Shen Ci’an said, "Sacred Trees may not be the same as each other."
"Since I can remember, the Blood Clan Holy Tree has already withered, and it left very little information."
"From the time it could remember, it had been on the Blood Race Holy Mountain; it might not even know where it came from."
As the Blood Emperor back then, after awakening, Shen Ci’an had a virtual image of the Holy Tree in his divine sense.
Once, it had guided him in his divine sense.
It also communicated about some things, but the origin of the Holy Tree, not even the tree itself had a complete memory of.
Su Muyao focused and said, "The Xuanyuan Tribe’s Holy Tree, Xiao Xing, also has incomplete memories, forgetting much of the past."
Pausing for a moment, Su Muyao had a thought, "You said they could communicate and speak, do you think they could be plant-type beastmen?"
"I remember when Mei Qingchen’s Spirit Sea was about to collapse, I saw a tree in his Spiritual Sea. Later, Mei Qingchen told me that it was the original form of his Jinglian Beastman ancestor..."
"And his Purification Power comes from the ability of his ancestral Plant System Beastman; when he awakened that part of his bloodline power, that’s how he possessed the Purification Power..."
Su Muyao briefly explained the matters concerning Mei Qingchen.
Listening to this, Shen Ci’an was shocked, his actions during flight even halted for a moment as he realized something, nearly losing his balance.
"Could he be our ancestor? If not an ancestor, then what kind of plant-type beastman would he be?"
Before entering the Taixu Secret Realm, Shen Ci’an didn’t even believe in the existence of plant-type beastmen.
In their understanding, there were only animal-type beastmen.
Shen Ci’an was absolutely unwilling to believe that their ancestor could be from a plant-type beastman.
Yet, from the time he could remember, he had no parents, as if born from thin air.
Blood Clan Beastmen seemed to be like this.
Even Chaos Wild Beastmen were like this.
In his previous understanding, he was born from heaven and earth.
He was a beastman from the beginning of creation.
But now it seemed otherwise.
Perhaps before them, there were plant-type beastmen.
Perhaps that was a previous era of civilization.
They simply didn’t know.
Or perhaps many plant-type beastmen had perished?
For instance, the likes of Jinglian Beastmen no longer existed.
Su Muyao said softly, "Creation Green Lotus and Destruction Green Lotus, they both sound like plant systems."
Su Muyao felt her understanding of the Beast World was still too limited.
Shen Ci’an’s eyes filled with a complicated look as he said, "Their power is very strong, not something regular beastmen can compare to."
"Regarding matters of the plant system, perhaps only plant beastmen would know."
Su Muyao nodded, "Indeed, when I checked ancient texts in your Holy Mountain and even in the Cui Residence, there was no record of plant-type beastmen."
"It seems, only by interacting with plant beastmen could we understand them."
"Fortunately, now that we’ve collected Concealing Breath Leaves, we can hide our presence and infiltrate the Vine Clan quietly without being easily discovered..."
Su Muyao chattered on, telling Shen Ci’an many things.
Shen Ci’an listened seriously.
He liked listening to his wife’s voice; no matter what she said, he found it pleasing.
...
Only upon reaching the Golden Leopard Tribe did Shen Ci’an bring Su Muyao down from the sky.
When Mei Qingchen transformed into human form, he immediately approached, looking at Su Muyao and asking, "How are you, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mei Qingchen’s stunning eyes carried a look of worry.
Su Muyao shook her head, "I’m fine."
"Okay, you must be hungry, let’s go back and eat something."
Mei Qingchen led Su Muyao forward. When they reached the gate of the Golden Leopard Tribe, Su Muyao turned to look at Shen Ci’an.
She found Shen Ci’an standing still.
"What’s wrong, come on."
As soon as Shen Ci’an saw Su Muyao turn to notice him, his narrow eyes immediately revealed a bewitching smile, "This is the Golden Leopard Tribe; I wonder if I’m welcome here."
Su Muyao looked at Mei Qingchen.
Mei Qingchen felt that Shen Ci’an was deliberately seeking attention.
"If I said unwelcome, would you go live in a cave?"
"No way, where my wife is, that’s where I am, where my wife is, is my home."
Shen Ci’an didn’t care about what others felt.
He just wanted to feel how much his wife cared for him.
Once they returned to their residence in the tribe, Mei Qingchen let Su Muyao rest, while he went to prepare the meal.
Shen Ci’an said, "I’ll cook for my wife."
Caring for his wife was a task he eagerly took on.
During mealtime, the two sat around Su Muyao, each taking turns to fill her bowl with vegetables and meat.
Before long, Su Muyao’s bowl was filled to the brim.
"I... I can’t eat this much."
With a captivating look, Shen Ci’an propped up his chin, gazing at Su Muyao, speaking in a teasing voice, "It’s fine, I love eating my wife’s leftovers most; if you can’t finish, I’ll eat it."
The hand Mei Qingchen held his chopsticks with was gripping them tightly.
He took a deep breath and said gently, "Wife, no rush to eat, have a sip of soup first."
As he spoke, Mei Qingchen ladled some soup and brought it directly to Su Muyao’s lips.
Shen Ci’an’s gaze instantly changed.
Su Muyao coughed lightly, "I can do it myself, I got it."
She took the spoon, lowered her head, and drank by herself, focusing on eating without looking at the two of them.
Mei Qingchen found his wife so adorable this way, and couldn’t resist reaching out to gently stroke her hair.
Shen Ci’an couldn’t stand Mei Qingchen being so close to their wife in front of him, occupying her space, and angrily said, "Darn leopard, where’s your hand going."
Mei Qingchen didn’t even raise his head, "Shen Ci’an, matters between me and my wife are none of your business."
Their gazes clashed fiercely in the air.
In the end, both of them snorted coldly, reaching a mutual understanding to go outside and fight it out.
Su Muyao sighed, "System, is there any way to make them get along peacefully?"
The system responded, "No way."
"Host, male beastmen have a territorial instinct towards their wives."
"As long as everyone is together, they’ll definitely find ways to vie for your attention."
"Perhaps with other beast husbands, it would not be so intense, but Shen Ci’an and Mei Qingchen have both not seen you for a long time, and naturally want to spend more time with you."
"Especially at night, who you choose to sleep with is very important to them."
"Their vying now is to determine a victor, to see who will accompany you at night."
However, unexpectedly, while they were fighting, a purple shadow appeared like a gust of wind in the house.
The purple mist fell, transforming into a human form.
It turned out to be Yue Wuhen who showed up.
