Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 367 - 366: Intense Feelings
Su Muyao paused and turned to Jing Chu, "Witch Clan?"
Jing Chu nodded and said: "Mm, it is said that the Witch Clan is born with powerful Divine Skills, capable of communicating with all beings and the Power of Heaven and Earth."
"Nowadays, some abilities used in rituals by various tribes come from the Witch Clan."
Su Muyao was a bit curious, because the Witch Clan has long ceased to exist after a hundred thousand years.
However, though the Witch Clan no longer exists, traces left by them can still be found everywhere.
Many ancient city gates and some powerful Sealing Arrays have talismans left by the Witch Clan.
"Have you ever seen a Witch Clan Beastman?"
Jing Chu shook his head and said, "No, my father saw one. When I was in the egg, I vaguely heard my father mention the Witch Clan."
"My father said the Witch Clan are the deities of the world, mostly hidden in a remote southern corner, unrevealed to the world unless something significant happens in the Beast World."
"My father said he actually met a Witch Clan Beastman once, who fortune-told a dire event, saying he would die at the hands of a female, and warned him not to make contact with a female."
"So for ten thousand years, my father stayed hidden in the deep mountains, but ultimately, he met my mother and died by her hand."
He was hatched by his father.
Inside the eggshell, his father would talk to him as he hatched him.
His father said a lot.
People say Snake Beastmen are Cold-blooded Beastmen, cruel and murderous, sparing no one, not even their kin.
But it’s not true. He could feel his father’s love for him.
His father probably wasn’t good with words, but he talked to him a lot every day.
Sadly, his father was killed.
Also in this cave, tricked by that female with witchcraft medicine, captured inside.
That female used him to threaten his father, leaving his father no choice but to comply.
His father died to ensure he would survive.
Every time he thought of this, Jing Chu felt very sad, his heart aching.
He desperately wanted to change this situation, to improve the plight of snake beastmen, but it was too difficult.
Jing Chu’s heart bled but did not shed tears.
They seem naturally unable to cry.
Su Muyao sighed, "Indeed, the Witch Clan has some abilities."
This immediately reminded her of Yue Wuhen, who seemed to have Witch Clan blood.
Just after saying this, Su Muyao felt something, she stepped forward and gently hugged his snake body.
Jing Chu, originally absorbed in his grief, suddenly stiffened at the unexpected hug, not daring to move, even his emotions interrupted.
He looked at Su Muyao, wanting to approach but not daring.
He could only let her hold him like that.
Su Muyao said softly, "Were you crying just now?"
"Don’t cry, everything will be okay."
"I will surely take you away from here."
Jing Chu said, "I was just thinking about my father; he died here."
"I couldn’t even collect his bones."
His father was a thousand-year-old Snake Beastman, cultivating for millennia, possessing an inner core and powerful Bloodline Power.
Even his bones held power.
Su Muyao said, "I will help you collect your father’s bones and give him a proper burial."
When she first crossed into the Beast World, when she wasn’t strong enough, Wen Nanxi had always cared for her.
After becoming emotional and attached, she didn’t know what she could do for Wen Nanxi.
Because she didn’t know his background or family, she wasn’t sure he had anyone.
Now, at last, she can do something for him.
She has a strong feeling that Jing Chu is somehow related to Wen Nanxi.
Jing Chu spoke, "They say there’s a way to refine bones into Magic Artifacts, and they want to try it."
"This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing."
Su Muyao listened more, feeling it’s ruthless.
No wonder the artifact refining methods have been lost after a hundred thousand years; it’s truly too cruel and against the Heavenly Dao.
After chatting with Jing Chu, a method to break the talisman restrictions flashed in Su Muyao’s mind.
She used her blood to draw talismans on the ground to break the array and lift the seal.
The instant the seal was broken, Jing Chu could move freely.
He transformed from snake form to human form and stood up.
Simultaneously, the cave erupted with a loud rumble, beginning to collapse.
Su Muyao consumed substantial Power to break the powerful hundred-thousand-year-old talismanic seal.
Moreover, she was suppressed by the world consciousness, rendering her Power very limited.
Hence, after breaking open, her body grew weak, and she started to feel dizzy.
Jing Chu appeared beside Su Muyao as swiftly as the wind, grabbed her and ran outside.
It was still early dawn, and the sky was dark, but the cave’s commotion was so great that it startled the entire tribe of beastmen.
Everyone woke from sleep and ran towards the cave.
"Quick, stop them."
"They actually broke the Array seal."
"They can’t be let go."
Everyone grabbed weapons and began pursuing Jing Chu.
Jing Chu’s injuries had slightly recovered, but his Power hadn’t fully returned.
He couldn’t clash head-on with these beastmen, even though he wanted mutual destruction, he dared not stop seeing the weakened Su Muyao in his arms; he had to take her away.
Unknowingly, she became exceedingly important to him, surpassing the hatred in his heart.
He held Su Muyao tightly, using his back to shield her from all attacks from behind.
"Jing Chu, be careful."
Su Muyao clutched Jing Chu’s neck tightly, wanting to help, but having little strength at the moment.
Jing Chu was injured again.
Seeing his back pierced by a Bone Knife, feeling him stagger, Su Muyao’s eyes reddened, filled with tears.
If she were not affected by the world consciousness, she could kill those beastmen.
In her eyes, anyone harming Jing Chu deserved death.
But no matter how Jing Chu ran with her, those with Jade Bone could precisely locate Jing Chu’s direction.
Su Muyao realized the Jade Bone was likely the refined Magic Artifact using Jing Chu’s father’s bones.
She bit her finger, drawing a mark on Jing Chu’s forehead, instantly severing a certain connection.
Now they could not track Jing Chu anymore.
...
No one knew how long, Jing Chu dragging his injured body, holding Su Muyao finally escaped the pursuit.
They fled into the deep mountains.
After finding a cave, Jing Chu gently placed Su Muyao down.
Su Muyao regained some strength at this moment and used Wood Element Ability to heal Jing Chu.
They recovered in the cave for two days, until Su Muyao regained some strength and treated Jing Chu’s injuries.
Su Muyao knew her time was limited; she might soon leave this world.
But she wanted to help Jing Chu quickly boost his Power, and she wanted to avenge him.
Thus, Su Muyao roamed the forest every day, searching for herbs and Spiritual Medicine.
She began concocting various elixirs.
Including poisons, sedatives, and medicines for common ailments.
While gathering materials, she let Jing Chu watch and learn.
If a beastman is powerful, their lifespan can be prolonged.
She hoped he’d always be well.
She also set several traps, using wild beast meat as bait, smeared with medicine to attract animals, while the traps were intricately arranged, "perhaps these can catch some stronger beasts."
The main goal wasn’t to hunt beasts, but to catch beasts with Crystal Cores.
Though superpowers couldn’t be fully utilized, she could still concoct and compound medicine.
Fortunately, three days later, they indeed caught a thousand-year-old beast.
However, the beast was unknowingly injured fighting another beast, making it easier for Su Muyao’s traps to kill it.
After obtaining the Crystal Core, Su Muyao had Jing Chu try to absorb its Power.
Looking at the Crystal Core and then at Su Muyao’s expression, Jing Chu felt uneasy for some reason.
He learned to read people’s expressions from a young age, and felt her peculiarity, Jing Chu couldn’t help but ask, "Once I become stronger, you won’t leave, right?"
