Free Web NovelChapter 754: Chapter 746: Setting the Trap
Su Muyao remembers Mei Qingchen saying that the puppet was made using his Heart Blood and Pure Lotus Golden Branch.
Looking at the golden branch in Yue Wuhen’s hand, which was emitting a faint golden glow, Su Muyao found it quite miraculous.
This is the Golden Lotus Branch, or rather, the Pure Lotus Golden Branch.
Thinking about the puppets made from these things, shouting and killing at her, Su Muyao’s mood was quite complex.
However, there were faint black lines entwined on that golden branch.
This should be the result of Youluo Fragrance.
Mei Qingchen looked at the Heart Blood and Golden Branch, his expression changed, "This is indeed mine, used to make the puppet."
Yue Wuhen handed the items to Mei Qingchen.
Mei Qingchen looked at Yue Wuhen, hesitating to speak, wanting to ask something but feeling it inappropriate.
Shen Ci’an raised the corner of his long eyes and said, "Well done, Young Master Yue."
"Creating such a puppet to shout and kill at the wife, it’s truly unforgivable."
"Even if it’s just a puppet, it’s made by you, Leopard."
"If it were me, even if just a puppet, it’s related to you personally, I wouldn’t forgive it even once or twice."
Shen Ci’an, inherently indifferent, only cared about Su Muyao.
If not for Su Muyao, he wouldn’t peacefully coexist with other males.
Yet this Leopard treated the wife like this once or twice, he wanted to act, give the Leopard a beating.
Sadly, the wife probably doesn’t like them fighting for real.
Mei Qingchen’s face turned even paler, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know."
At this moment, Mei Qingchen felt even more unable to face Su Muyao.
He never expected that despite ordering the puppet not to harm Su Muyao, it would still draw its sword.
Mei Qingchen directly took out a knife and handed it to Su Muyao, "Wife, strike here with the knife, as long as it relieves you, just don’t ignore me."
Otherwise, he might act on his own.
Shen Ci’an was directly angered, snatching the knife and punching Mei Qingchen in the face, "Leopard, are you crazy."
Mei Qingchen was completely unprepared, staggering back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
Blood stained the corner of his mouth, showing Shen Ci’an’s true anger.
"You’re pressing the wife to act, how is it different from shouting and killing with a sword at her?"
Mei Qingchen only felt unable to face himself.
Pain in his heart he couldn’t soothe.
He always wanted to love the wife, to be good to her, yet unexpectedly ended up hurting her.
And during the wife’s time of greatest need, he wasn’t there at all.
Shen Ci’an knew these things because he heard about them when he went to Luomu City.
Su Muyao was initially a bit confused, but quickly reacted, hurrying forward to pull up Mei Qingchen, "Mei Qingchen, don’t blame yourself."
"I don’t blame you, it’s not you, I know."
"Besides, it hasn’t truly hurt me."
"Every time it strikes, it hasn’t really fallen on me."
"Perhaps it’s also controlled and coerced without memory, not knowing to protect me."
"I’m also glad it was just a puppet, not you, don’t blame yourself, don’t carry everything on yourself."
Su Muyao also reached out to hold Shen Ci’an’s hand, gently comforting his emotions, asking him not to be angry.
She knew Shen Ci’an acted for her sake.
Mei Qingchen covered his face with his hand, "The wife doesn’t blame me, I’m only blaming myself."
Inside, he felt truly unbearable.
But after Shen Ci’an’s punch, Mei Qingchen regained a bit of composure.
Realizing he had indeed been pressuring the wife just now.
"I’m sorry about earlier, I acted impulsively."
Not knowing why, as long as it’s related to the wife, he couldn’t stay calm and easily felt vulnerable.
"It’s alright, those things are in the past."
Yue Wuhen explained, "After entering the Taixu Secret Realm, he was led out by the disciples of Youluo Sword Sect who revealed Youluo Fragrance and made him lose control, setting up a siege formation."
"Their preparations were thorough, the puppet was defenseless."
"Actually, the existence of the puppet was also good, it died once in your place."
Otherwise, if something happened to Mei Qingchen, the wife would undoubtedly be sad.
Yue Wuhen’s biggest concern was seeing the wife sad.
Yue Wuhen hadn’t acted because the Taixu Secret Realm suddenly opened, Su Muyao was swept into it unexpectedly.
At that time, Yue Wuhen had no intention to fight the puppet, he only wanted to grab Su Muyao.
Because if their entry times into the Taixu Secret Realm differed too much, they would land in different places.
At that moment, the puppet desperately tried to stop him, striking at him.
He indeed had the urge to kill.
But ultimately didn’t act because it was a puppet made by Mei Qingchen.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t act, but after entering the Taixu Secret Realm, the people from Youluo Sword Sect made their move.
Mei Qingchen’s expression flickered several times, his eyes dark and gloomy, "The reason Youluo Sword Sect is named that is due to its connection with Youluo Tree, it was founded by Youluo Tree supporting Black Panther."
"The sect has methods to control Youluo Fragrance."
Mei Qingchen placed his hand on the Heart Blood and Golden Branch, beginning to receive the puppet’s memories.
In the midst of receiving the puppet’s memories, upon seeing what the puppet did to Su Muyao, Mei Qingchen felt the fury burning in his chest, nearly spitting out blood.
Afraid of scaring Su Muyao, he fiercely held back to prevent blood from rushing up, not letting himself vomit blood.
Luckily, the affairs of Youluo Sword Sect helped him calm down.
He set the puppet into Youluo Sword Sect to investigate some of their secrets.
After viewing the memories, Mei Qingchen had completely calmed down.
"Youluo Sword Sect is a sect controlled by Black Panthers, existing on Fusang Continent for a long time."
"These Black Panthers are of the same ancestry as my great-grandfather, splitting apart due to internal conflict long ago."
"Youluo Tree Beastmen likely hated my great-grandfather and great-grandmother, hence supported the Black Panther Beastmen of that time to fight against our lineage."
"However, on Fusang Continent, there is no Golden Leopard Clan, nor on Cang Beast Continent and Mortal Beast Continent, only in Taixu Secret Realm, so their methods to control Youluo Fragrance weren’t used."
"It’s my appearance that made them reuse this method."
Indeed, the puppet died once on his behalf, also uncovering some secrets within Youluo Sword Sect.
He managed to connect with the Golden Leopard Clan.
Su Muyao remembers Mei Qingchen saying that his great-grandfather was a Black Panther.
Upon merging with a Golden Lotus Beastman, the offspring became Golden Leopard Beastmen.
No wonder Youluo Sword Sect wanted to target Golden Leopards.
They also wanted to obtain the power of Golden Leopards.
Likely aware of the Pure Lotus power in their blood.
After a pause, Mei Qingchen continued to add, "Also, Youluo Sword Sect took the puppet’s blood to make medicine, intending to increase their own power, but these powers will only backfire on them."
"In the short term, nothing can be seen, but over time, once they activate their superpower to fight, it will show effects."
Mei Qingchen, due to previously having Divination Power, deliberately set a trap against Youluo Sword Sect.
Only in matters concerning Su Muyao did he lose his composure.
In other matters, Mei Qingchen arranged everything meticulously.
