Free Web NovelChapter 752: Chapter 744: Without Competing
Yue Wuhen was adorned with silver ornaments, dressed in a purple robe, tall and graceful, with a visage as immaculate as snow, exquisite beyond compare.
His already stunning appearance, under the pouring moonlight, was as beautiful as the moon itself, more akin to the faint drizzle of spring, leaving onlookers entranced.
He stood there quietly, like a spread ink painting, exuding an impressionistic beauty.
He looked at Su Muyao, his light purple eyes gleaming with a gentle smile, like snow melting in spring.
So pure, gentle, and beautiful.
With the temperament of a pine crane, carrying a gentle and accommodating aura.
"Wife."
Even his voice was so clear and gentle.
Su Muyao heard the voice and at the sudden sight of Yue Wuhen, thought it was an illusion.
But upon hearing his voice, Su Muyao realized it was not an illusion, it was real.
She put down the chopsticks in her hand, quickly got up, came before Yue Wuhen, her eyes turning red, "Wuhen, is it really you?"
Seeing Su Muyao’s red eyes, Yue Wuhen felt a pang in his heart.
He reached out to embrace Su Muyao, gently stroking her head with one hand, "Wife, it is me."
Yue Wuhen wanted to pull Su Muyao into his heart, yet couldn’t bear to use force, merely holding her tenderly.
Feeling her warmth, her scent, he sighed inwardly.
He had finally found her.
The anxiety and unease in his heart finally calmed down at this moment.
Su Muyao leaned in Yue Wuhen’s arms, listening to his heartbeat, inhaling the pleasant scent from him, feeling a sense of peace.
Su Muyao probably didn’t even notice her natural dependence on Yue Wuhen.
With him by her side, her body and mind would involuntarily relax.
"Have you been well these days?"
These days, Yue Wuhen still felt a lingering fear.
Afraid that something might happen to Su Muyao.
He never imagined the Taixu Secret Realm would open early, dragging Su Muyao into it.
At that moment, Yue Wuhen’s heart seemed to stop beating when he saw it happen.
After entering the Taixu Secret Realm, he tried all means to find her.
Within the Taixu Secret Realm, the Witch Clan’s power seemed suppressed, making it hard for him to detect her aura throughout the realm.
Fortunately, although suppressed, the contract between him and his wife maintained a connection, allowing him to find her.
"Hmm, fortunately, after entering the Secret Realm, I woke up under a Holy Tree near the Spirit Rabbit Clan..."
Su Muyao raised her head from Yue Wuhen’s arms, briefly explaining the process to him.
"By the way, how did you find me?"
Yue Wuhen replied softly, "I used witch power based on the bond from our contract to find you."
Yue Wuhen’s words were simple, but the process was actually very difficult.
But luckily, finding her had brought Yue Wuhen some peace.
Thinking of Su Muyao’s experiences, Yue Wuhen said, "The Holy Tree is sentient. It sent you to Mei Qingchen’s side, both to protect you and to save Mei Qingchen."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, "You mean that Holy Tree knew everything, so it sent me to Mei Qingchen in this way to save him?"
Su Muyao never thought of this, only believing it was a coincidence she entered the Secret Realm, and that the Holy Tree used some blinding technique to make the Spirit Rabbit Clan Beastman think she was Miss Ayao from their tribe.
"But according to what you said, it was indeed quite a coincidence, when I was sent to the Golden Leopard Tribe, Mei Qingchen almost completely lost control and sanity."
If she hadn’t appeared in time to soothe Mei Qingchen’s Spirit Sea, his Spirit Sea might have truly collapsed, losing sanity completely.
Thinking about it, Su Muyao felt a wave of lingering fear.
It seemed quite fortunate that she appeared in time.
Yue Wuhen’s eyes held a faint lavender gleam, "Perhaps the Taixu Secret Realm opened early as well because it sensed something, something that swept you in."
"If my guess is correct, the entrance to the Secret Realm was right in front of you, and you were the first to be brought in."
"Ordinarily, the entrance to a Secret Realm wouldn’t open in such a place."
Su Muyao’s expression trembled, murmuring softly, "All things have spirit, the Holy Tree has spirit."
"We should go back to see that Holy Tree, I wonder if it can speak, or communicate through consciousness or mindfulness."
Yue Wuhen said, "Hmm, we can go see what’s going on."
Yue Wuhen looked in the direction of the distance, his expression somewhat profound.
He always felt there might be some hidden connection between Spirit Plants and Su Muyao.
"Earlier you mentioned that dense forest, it might also be related to the Taixu Secret Realm. That place, others couldn’t find it, possibly because only you could enter under such serendipitous timing."
Su Muyao furrowed her brow, "No wonder so many people from the Blood Clan were deployed, yet they couldn’t find any trace of that mysterious forest."
Her expression shifted as if she had thought of something, "Oh, right, the hidden weapons in that forest seem to be related to the Spirit Plants."
"The Spirit Plants there can attack people, and as I ventured deeper, I seemed to hear a strange language. I couldn’t quite understand it, but I vaguely grasped words like ’kill her’ and ’sacrifice.’
Yue Wuhen’s incredibly beautiful eyes showed a hint of gravity, "That might be the language used by the Plant-type Beastmen."
"Just like the Witch Clan, they have their own unique language."
Su Muyao’s face changed, "Could it be the legendary lost Fusang Forest?"
It’s said that the Fusang Forest had vanished long ago.
Yue Wuhen also had a theory, "Perhaps, but it’s uncertain."
Su Muyao’s heart was beating a bit fast.
If it truly was the Fusang Forest, she indeed accidentally entered it.
"But why is Di Fu Yuan’s Dragon Body there?"
If Fusang Forest and Fusang Continent were separate, Beastmen shouldn’t have entered Cang Beast Continent to obtain the Dragon Body.
Yue Wuhen said, "It’s highly possible that it was transmitted there by some kind of power."
But this, too, is just speculation, and even Yue Wuhen couldn’t be certain.
Su Muyao said, "Back then, the Dragon Clan was exterminated because of the Chaos Wild Beastmen. I thought the Dragon Body fell into their clan."
"Who would’ve thought it wasn’t."
Yue Wuhen pulled Su Muyao to sit by his side, speaking softly, "Cui Liyi has the Destructive Black Lotus on him."
Su Muyao’s eyes trembled, "Are you saying the Destructive Black Lotus transported the Dragon Body into that mysterious forest?"
"Indeed, the Fusang Forest is likely inhabited by Plant-type Beastmen, and since the Destructive Black Lotus itself is a Spirit Plant, perhaps it used the power of the Chaos Wild Beastmen to transmit some things into the dense forest."
"Of course, this is just speculation."
"Cui Liyi never mentioned any of this either."
When she was at the Cui Residence, Cui Liyi seemed unaware of many things.
Even their Chaos Wild Beast Cub, he seemed to have no memory of.
Yue Wuhen had a bold guess in his heart, but he didn’t know whether to say it.
Because there was also a contract bond between Cui Liyi and Su Muyao.
Speaking of unprovable matters would only add to Su Muyao’s troubles.
Su Muyao sensed Yue Wuhen’s silence, looked up at him, and said, "Is there something you want to say but are hesitating to share?"
"I want to know."
Yue Wuhen could never refuse Su Muyao.
"The Destructive Black Lotus and the Chaos Wild Beastmen both possess the Power of Destruction. Their sources of power might be from the same origin. When the Destructive Black Lotus manipulates the Chaos Wild Beastmen’s bodies to do things, their consciousness might be sealed or fall into slumber."
"So, he might not know."
Thinking this way, Su Muyao felt she should ask Cui Liyi.
But she was reluctant to face Cui Liyi.
At this moment, the "bang bang" sounds of fighting could still be heard in the yard.
Actually, the moment Yue Wuhen appeared, Mei Qingchen and Shen Ci’an had noticed.
But at the crucial moment of their fight, neither wanted to stop.
Seeing Yue Wuhen holding Su Muyao all the time, as the Blood Moon Scimitar and Mei Qingchen’s sword clashed once again, neither giving way, Shen Ci’an spoke, "Enough, let’s stop."
"There’s no use in continuing."
Mei Qingchen looked at the intimate scene between Yue Wuhen and Su Muyao, feeling a twinge in his heart, seemingly puzzled.
"I say, you clueless Leopard, you really don’t know anything."
"Now that Yue Wuhen is here, there’s no point in competing. Even if we do, it wouldn’t matter."
Mei Qingchen looked at Shen Ci’an, "You don’t seem like someone who’d back down."
After entering the Cang Beast Continent, he hadn’t been separated from Su Muyao, and he didn’t know exactly what happened afterward.
But he knew that his wife and Yue Wuhen had formed a contract.
Yue Wuhen came later, and given Shen Ci’an’s nature, he wouldn’t give up so easily or stop competing.
So something must have happened that he wasn’t aware of.
Shen Ci’an’s long, blood-red eyes showed a sorrowful and complex expression, "Only if he’s with my wife, am I willing to step back and not compete."
Moreover, he felt gratitude towards Yue Wuhen.
Though he couldn’t help wanting to strive for and possess his wife, his rational mind told him what to do.
