Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Deep and Tender Affection

Su Muyao saw that the one in the center responsible for the ritual was a Golden Crow She-beast, her clothes luxurious, exuding an air of dignity.

Fire emanated from her hand, lighting the torch, and after saying a few words to the tribe, she led everyone in performing the ritual.

A very peculiar ritual.

Su Muyao stood below the Sacrificial Altar, watching everything.

The dance of that She-beast was also very strange; she held a scepter, muttering words as if communicating with the gods.

Su Muyao watched intently, feeling a sense of spiritual resonance.

At that moment, the She-beast on the altar suddenly looked in her direction.

Meeting those beautiful eyes, Su Muyao’s heart stirred.

Then she saw her bow toward her direction.

Su Muyao looked around, realizing no one saw her.

Su Muyao thought it was just a coincidence.

Moreover, she was transparent, witnessing these scenes in a dream, with time dimensions not aligning.

No one should have noticed her seeing her.

However, she could hear the people below kneeling and praying.

That She-beast seemed to be the leader of the Golden Crow Bird Beast tribe.

After the ritual ended, the She-beast in charge returned to her stone house, where there was also a Beastman.

He held a needle and thread, sewing something swiftly.

She glanced at it, feeling that this sewing technique resembled Hua Linye’s very much.

Su Muyao’s heart trembled, "Could there be a connection between them?"

The She-beast went to her Beast Husband and said, "No need to sew so many clothes, take a rest, don’t tire yourself."

The Beastman smiled and said, "I can’t help much with the tribe’s affairs, but I excel at sewing these clothes, making more for our child."

The She-beast anxiously said, "Who dares to say that to you, you are the Young Master of the Fox Clan, skilled in many things. You even gave up your inheritance to marry me. You’ve done a lot for me, and I won’t allow you to belittle yourself like this."

The Beastman laughed, "Okay, I know you’ve done a lot for me too. You are a noble Golden Crow Beastman, the leader. The people wanted you to marry a Golden Crow Beastman, so the children would be guaranteed pure bloodlines, yet you defied everyone’s expectations by marrying me, causing dissatisfaction."

"Our child, I don’t even know whether they’ll be a Golden Crow Beastman or a Fox Beastman."

The She-beast touched her belly, "No matter if they resemble me or you, they’ll be great, and I like them all."

Watching the scene before her and listening to their conversation, Su Muyao could feel the deep affection between the two.

She didn’t know when this was, but Golden Crow Beastmen seemed to have vanished hundreds of years ago.

According to the records of Beast World Continent, several hundred years ago, some beasts with strong bloodlines and noble forms often married within their kind to ensure pure bloodlines. Should a noble Beastman combine with another beast, it was hard to guarantee the purity of bloodline strength, easily facing opposition.

Su Muyao didn’t know why she was seeing these scenes either.

Soon after, a mist appeared before her, and when it cleared, the scene changed again. The once peaceful and prosperous Golden Crow Beastman Tribe had suffered countless beast casualties, the ground trembling incessantly.

As the tribal leader, the She-beast had just given birth to a child inside the house, a Nine-tailed Fox Beast entirely fiery red.

She handed the child to her Beast Husband.

Her Beast Husband, the Beastman, transformed into his true form, becoming a Nine-tailed Red Fox. "Wife, hurry up, get on, I’ll take you and the child away from here."

The She-beast looked into the distance, a sorrowful expression emerging, "It’s too late."

The Beastman placed the child into the She-beast’s hands, "Wife, you take the child away, I will block them."

The She-beast grabbed him, using a power to restrain him.

"Wife, what are you doing?"

The She-beast showed a determined look, then drew out a knife and stabbed it into her heart, extracting her Heart Blood, and painted a strange symbol onto her Beast Husband, "This way, the Heavenly Dao restraint is lifted, you take the child and live well, forget me..."

As she spoke, she also poured her Power into the child.

"Wife, no."

The She-beast said reluctantly, "I have given the child my clan’s unique strong Bloodline Power, only sealing their strength."

"Allow them to live an ordinary life as a beast. If one day, their descendants are gifted, under unique circumstances, the seal can be lifted. Once the bloodline awakens, they can inherit this Power, acquiring Inheritance Power and Inheritance Memory..."

As she spoke, the She-beast opened a light circle, pushing her Beast Husband and child into it, sending them to safety.

She then turned to fight.

As for who attacked the Golden Crow Tribe, Su Muyao couldn’t see.

Only knowing, the Beastman later reappeared in front of the She-beast.

The She-beast was shocked that he came back.

The Beastman simply said, "I said from the start that we would live and die together. Rest assured, I have settled the child well. He will live a peaceful ordinary life."

Su Muyao witnessed them die together with her own eyes.

The entire Golden Crow Beastman Tribe was destroyed in an instant.

...

When Su Muyao woke up, the sky was already dimly lit.

But as she opened her eyes, she discovered Hua Linye was sitting quietly by her side, his head lowered, watching her silently.

His fox eyes were deep and unfathomable, unknown what thoughts occupied his mind. Just as she awoke, tenderness instantly filled his eyes, brimming with intense affection.

"Wife, you’re awake so early?"

"Won’t you sleep a little longer?"

Hua Linye lowered his head, lovingly kissing her brow, then gradually downward, kissing her brow line, and his breath brushed over her lashes, carrying a warm breeze.

Everything was wrapped in an ambiguous atmosphere.

Only he knew how much he loved her.

Only by being entirely open could he express his emotions.

Furthermore, he advanced two levels last night, going from Level 3 straight to Level 5, as if the seal within was broken, and acquired Inheritance Memory, of both the Fire Fox and Golden Crow Bird Beast.

It made him understand many things.

His breath was fiery as flames, igniting Su Muyao’s passion in a heartbeat. She murmured, "Mm, I’m not sleepy."

"Since Wife is not sleepy, how about you accompany me more?"

Saying this, he gently embraced her in his arms, surrounding her in his breath like a web.

Su Muyao listened to his deep, husky voice, and emotions wrapped around them like vines.

Thinking of something, Su Muyao blushed deeply.

"Linye."

"Mm, Wife, I love you, love you so much."

Listening to these words of deep affection, Su Muyao’s heart strings were strummed intensely. Looking at him, she felt that his fox eyes were different from last night’s cautiousness, now layered with profound, tide-like brilliance, imbued with affectionate warmth.

His eyes were full of longing.

His heated breath descended, whispering her name hoarsely, "Wife."

Truly bonding, his emotions exceeded his imagination.
