Free Web NovelChapter 757: Chapter 749: Extremism
Teng Lixuan struggled to wake up.
Because he was extremely resistant to this matter.
The Holy Tree said, "Don’t be anxious. If you want to save your people, change the environment here, and alter the invisible suppressive rules, that glimmer of hope lies with that female."
Teng Lixuan didn’t believe it at all, "How is it possible? How could changing all of this rest on a single female?"
"Don’t think just because you are the Holy Tree, you can fool me."
He grew up in the Vine Clan, adopting the thoughts of the Vine Clan, with an inherent aversion to Animal Beastmen.
Probably because they are from different perspectives.
"The Clan Leader said, the current environment of our Vine Clan and Plant-type Beastmen likely stems from the ancient grudge against Animal Beastmen."
"I could never fall for an Animal Beastman, let alone such a female."
"She already has two beast husbands. For me to like her and become her beast husband is an insult to me."
Teng Lixuan, influenced by deeply ingrained thoughts, naturally rejected Animal Beastmen to his core.
"Not to mention, I’ve been up in arms against her and even fought with her beast husbands. It’s not about whether I like her, she won’t possibly accept me."
Teng Lixuan knew that among Animal Beastmen, females were extremely revered.
After attacking that female and giving such a bad impression, how could one even like?
It’s simply laughable.
As Teng Lixuan spoke, he let out a snort of derision.
He felt what the Holy Tree told him was a ridiculous idea.
He didn’t believe that hope lay with such a female.
"That female is so weak, relying on beast husbands for protection, what can she do?"
"She can’t do anything."
Teng Lixuan didn’t think much of Su Muyao at all now.
"And all those foreign females are so pampered."
"The females of the Lion Tribe have so many beast husbands, they’re spoiled beyond belief, easily angered, and even abusive to males, just the same as those Animal Beast females. I wouldn’t go to humiliate myself."
Previously, the Lion Tribe attempted to seek refuge with the Vine Tribe, establishing some contact between the two tribes.
Before that, a female from the Lion Tribe had visited and seen him.
That female was captivated by his beauty, even attempting to ingratiate herself with him.
Later, by chance, he visited the Lion Tribe and realized how arrogant and domineering the Animal Beast females were.
Speaking of which, Teng Lixuan held deep disgust.
He thought all Animal Beast females were the same.
With so many beast husbands, they didn’t know how to cherish them.
Moreover, those females were very selfish and heartless, fundamentally devoid of any real feelings.
The Holy Tree sighed, "You’re too extreme."
It knew that the prejudices between Plant-type Beastmen and Animal Beastmen were deeply entrenched.
There were also profound misunderstandings.
Especially since the Plant-type Beastmen’s ancestral teachings forbade them from loving Animal Beastmen.
It knew there was an ancient grudge between the two tribes.
"Teng Lixuan, you need to calm down and not act on impulse."
"Some things need to be looked at with the heart, not concluded with eyes and prejudice."
The Holy Tree sensed he was still resisting and said helplessly, "That female is not ordinary, she carries the fate of the Beast World."
"Do you know why you and I descended here?"
"Though many memories are gone, I know our descent here was because someone paid a great price to bring us, seeking that sliver of life."
"My mission is to protect you, to let you live well. Your mission is to become her beast husband."
"Do you know why this place, as a secret realm, must find every possible way to open periodically?"
"It’s to attract outsiders to come in, in order to find that female."
"And now that female has arrived, she is Su Muyao."
Teng Lixuan understood what the Holy Tree meant, "So you mean, by falling in love with her and becoming her beast husband, I can save everything here, save my people. What will she use to save, the fate of the Beast World on her?"
"If it weren’t for her beast husbands protecting her, she would have died at my hands. Are you sure you didn’t see wrong, didn’t judge wrong?"
"It would be better to do as the Clan Leader said, with that Destructive Black Lotus ending the world, recreating the Beast World, maybe the environment would be different."
These last words were almost spoken in a resigned tone.
The Holy Tree said, "Don’t be naive, the Beast World cannot be destroyed. If it is, all beastmen will die."
"The Beast World may not restart."
"Don’t trust the Destructive Black Lotus, that power only destroys everything."
"Are you willing to give up on those who protect you?"
Teng Lixuan was silent.
The Holy Tree said, "Didn’t you say that to change everything, you would stop at nothing, that you wouldn’t miss any hope?"
"For you to approach that female, to love her and become her beast husband, isn’t so difficult."
"You will discover her goodness, her ability to change everything. She has great chances and great fortune. By becoming her beast husband, if she loves you, she will help you save the Vine Clan."
"Someday, you will thank me."
When the Holy Tree said the last sentence, its voice was extremely certain.
Teng Lixuan was indifferent.
He didn’t take it seriously, thinking about shouting and fighting before, and then becoming her beast husband afterwards, it would be strange if he wasn’t beaten out.
Somewhat aware of Teng Lixuan’s troubles.
The Holy Tree said, "One of Su Muyao’s beast husbands has Youluo Fragrance, a means used by the Youluo Tree to control others."
"If you help him deal with the Youluo Fragrance, they will thank you."
"Of course, the secret on that female must not be told to anyone, or it will only bring her danger."
"And you, you must find ways to protect her."
Teng Lixuan hummed, "I know, you just want me to protect her. By calling it beast husband, you just want me to help her."
"I really wonder what her relationship is with you, to make you act this way."
The Holy Tree remained silent, saying nothing.
This was an underlying command, almost as if a strong force had issued an order.
Subconsciously, it knew that this female would face many dangers.
Before she fully grows, she indeed needs to be protected.
Teng Lixuan said, "The Youluo Tree has long been destroyed. To deal with Youluo Fragrance is not that easy.

Elsewhere
Golden Leopard Tribe
At night, Su Muyao naturally slept in the same room as Yue Wuhen.
Leaning in Yue Wuhen’s arms, Su Muyao felt incredibly at ease.
Yue Wuhen found a comfortable position for Su Muyao, carefully tidying her hair, tucking her in, holding her as she slept.
Actually, Yue Wuhen wasn’t very sleepy, just wanting to hold her, protect her.
As for the other two rooms, they were occupied by Shen Ci’an and Mei Qingchen.
Neither of them could fall asleep.
Previously, Mei Qingchen had slept alone without feeling anything, but lately, each day he had been able to sleep holding Su Muyao, sharing intimacy and love, and he had grown accustomed to it.
Suddenly sleeping alone, he found he couldn’t fall asleep.
Thinking of Su Muyao together with Yue Wuhen next door, thinking of them forming a Contract, he felt incredibly restless inside.
Although there was no sound, he felt certain that Yue Wuhen must have set up a Barrier, making it impossible to hear anything.
Mei Qingchen lay in bed, gently massaging his aching temples, trying hard to calm down.
Moreover, learning from Shen Ci’an during the day that the wife had died once pained his heart greatly.
His heart was still aching now.
It was like scratching an itch you can’t reach.
He didn’t know who had attacked his wife, but he felt like killing.
This feeling was uncontrollable.
Shen Ci’an couldn’t sleep either.
Finishing their return, finally seeing the wife, he wanted nothing more than to hold her tightly.
But he hadn’t even managed to embrace her much.
Finally, both of them came out of their rooms.
They stared at each other.
They almost wanted to have a fight, to expend some energy.
Shen Ci’an looked at Mei Qingchen and said, "Leopard, you look like you need to vent some of that pent-up frustration too."
Mei Qingchen glanced at the closed door where Yue Wuhen and Su Muyao were, and said, "The Lion Tribe often provoked the Golden Leopard Tribe, always wanting to annex the tribe and seize tribal resources. I think it’s time to teach them a lesson."
"Count me in."
The injuries that both of them had sustained had been healed by their wife’s Wood Element Ability, and their strength had recovered, along with their combat abilities.
Also, they now had Concealing Breath Leaves in hand, allowing them to hide their presence and enter the Lion Tribe unnoticed.
Mei Qingchen added, "Moreover, they’ve had communications with the Vine Tribe before and should know some information about the Vine Clan."
"Fighting is secondary; the main goal is to capture a Lion Beastman to gather some information."
Not everything should rely on the wife to handle.
She was tired and needed rest.
And he had a map of the Lion Tribe, knew some of their information, and knew what to do.
Other tribes had previously planted spies within the Golden Leopard Tribe. Finding these spies wasn’t solved so easily.
After interrogation by the tribe, they had obtained quite a bit of information.
Of course, he had also planted spies in the Lion Tribe in return.
Now was the time for them to serve their purpose.
