Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite
Chapter 657 - 653: Substitution
Realizing this, Su Muyao’s body tensed up, and she became wary.
However, she remained calm on the surface, saying, "Thank you, granny, I’m fine. There’s no need to take the medicine right now."
The old woman looked normal, smiling as she said, "Alright, since the young lady just woke up, you must be hungry. Let me pour you some water and prepare some food for you."
As the old woman was about to leave, Su Muyao hurriedly asked, "Granny, have you seen any other male Beastmen around here, as well as two children...?"
"We are all together."
Su Muyao briefly described the features of Yue Wuhen and the two treasures.
The old woman showed a trace of surprise, shook her head, and said, "Many of our tribe members have been around these mountains since early morning, but no one has seen any other living Beastmen, nor the bodies of the three Beastmen you mentioned. They shouldn’t be around here."
Hearing this, Su Muyao’s heart sank.
She couldn’t use her superpower now, nor could she sense their locations.
She didn’t know where they were at the moment.
She had to find them as soon as possible.
Her parents and grandfather should also be in this tribe.
"Granny, do you know about the Phoenix Tribe?"
Now that the Blood Clan was like this, and with Shen Ci’an becoming the Blood Emperor, perhaps it’s just like Xie Guixue becoming a Demon Realm Beastmen, definitely different from before. The Blood Clan also has this blood night patrol, and she dared not look for Shen Ci’an.
But finding her family certainly wasn’t a problem.
The old woman looked at Su Muyao with an odd gaze, muttering, "Phoenix Tribe?"
She looked toward the direction outside the window, as if seeing far, far away, "That’s a legendary Beastman."
"A Beastman from a long time ago."
"It’s said that a Phoenix can be reborn from its ashes and might turn into an Immortal Phoenix, but no one has ever seen one."
"Alas, in any case, on this continent, there are no Divine Beasts. All the territories are governed by the major powers."
"We Beastmen from small tribes can only live dependent on major powers, having no knowledge of what the outside world is like."
"The young lady mentions the Phoenix Tribe right away, could it be that you’re from the Phoenix Tribe?"
"Even though no one has seen a Phoenix Beastman, who knows if the Phoenix Clan has any Secret Techniques to keep Phoenix Beastmen alive."
Seeing the old woman’s reaction, Su Muyao felt that the questions she asked might seem strange to them.
This might also make them suspicious of her.
Su Muyao wanted to ask more questions but held back.
After the old woman left, Su Muyao also got up from the bed and did a simple wash beside the basin.
Then she walked out of the courtyard and saw a small tribe outside.
There were several towering peaks in the distance, indistinct in appearance.
The tallest peak seemed hidden in the clouds, with a faint red glow in the clouds.
She wondered if that was the Holy Mountain the old woman mentioned.
Bells were ringing in her ears, and she couldn’t help but walk forward, seeing several Beastmen of the tribe wearing sacrificial clothes, singing and dancing around a palanquin, shaking bells in their hands.
"Young lady, young lady, why are you out here?"
At this moment, a young woman came over and spoke to Su Muyao.
"Who are you?"
"I’m Qing Cui, the one who brought you back. I didn’t expect you to wake up."
Su Muyao understood that this person should be the granddaughter the old woman mentioned, so she cupped her hands in thanks.
The woman said, "No need to thank me, I just happened to bring you back."
"As long as you don’t blame me next."
At that moment, Su Muyao suddenly felt dizzy and fainted again.
But this time, she seemed still conscious.
"Miss Qing, she’s fainted."
"Thank you all. I’ll change her into my clothes and carry her to the palanquin. The Steward of the Fierce Beast Clan will be here shortly."
"Thank goodness we have this female to replace Miss Qing. Otherwise, our Miss Qing would be in danger."
"Indeed, Miss Qing and our tribe’s Young Clan Leader are in love; she naturally can’t go."
"But the Fierce Beast Clan doesn’t care about these; they just want the chosen females to be sacrificed to awaken their master."
"What awakening? I think it’s for sacrifice. Isn’t it said that the master of the Fierce Beast Clan has been trying to resurrect someone?"
"I heard it’s to revive his most beloved female, which is why they need a vessel..."
"Ridiculous, how could a Fierce Beastman feel love, let alone their master, that rumored Chaos Wild Beastman."
"Be careful what you say. If you’re heard, it could cost your life. Fierce Beastmen won’t care about these things..."
Listening to the chatter, Su Muyao vaguely understood what was happening.
She had already planned to approach the Chaos Wild Beastman to solve the problem of the Destruction Tribulation.
Now it seemed to be a coincidence, she wouldn’t reject it.
Let alone now, she couldn’t do much.
Somehow, the Spiritual Energy on the Fusang Continent was rich, but mixed with other auras, making it impossible for her to absorb and use her superpower.
It was as if under the Heavenly Dao Rules here, her power was sealed and unusable.
...
Thus, Su Muyao was taken into a room in a residence.
In fact, Su Muyao had already awakened halfway through.
She heard the conversations of these managers of the Fierce Beast Clan along the way.
"I wonder if this batch of females will work this time."
"If it doesn’t work, will the Guardian be angry and punish us?"
"If our master doesn’t awaken, our living environment as the Fierce Beast Clan will be continuously compressed. The Blood Clan is already against us, and if things continue like this, everyone will die. So, we have to try, we must awaken the master."
"It’s said that tens of thousands of years ago, the master was about to awaken normally, but was caught in a love tribulation and fell into a deep sleep, unwilling to wake."
"Yeah, back then, there was a big battle with the Blood Emperor, causing problems in this world, and the master didn’t have an issue, yet couldn’t get through the love tribulation..."
"It’s odd, how could our Fierce Beastmen genuinely fall in love, especially our master, that Chaos Wild Beastman."
"So back then, the married-in female was so crafty that her death left a thorn in our master’s heart, never to recover."
"Hush, this is confidential. If my master wasn’t Guardian Luo, I wouldn’t know this. Alas, my master is gone, so these things can’t be leaked..."
Listening to these words, Su Muyao became even more amazed.
She could hardly understand these words before.
But now, hearing them talk about the married-in female from tens of thousands of years ago,
it reminded her of the scenes she saw in her dreams.
After these managers placed her on the bed and left, apparently to attend to some matters, Su Muyao quickly regained consciousness.
For some reason, after entering this residence, her superpower became usable.
She tried it out. Though she could only use part of her superpower,
it was still better than nothing.
Su Muyao looked around and found that the females on the beds beside her were still unconscious, without any movement.
She stealthily left the room.
She discovered that the house and courtyard had Restrictions, but they seemed ineffective against her.
Moreover, looking at the surrounding architectural environment, a strong sense of familiarity surged within her, making her head throb for a moment.
She involuntarily headed toward one direction.
As if something was attracting her, summoning her over.
It felt like this place would uncover some secrets.
And the further she walked, the more it felt identical to the scene of the courtyard and building environment she had seen in her dream.
