Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Mysterious Beast Husband Mei Qingchen

He was dressed in a black brocade robe, with dark patterns embroidered on the hem and a white jade waist ornament.

His long black hair flowed down his back, giving a sense of exquisite beauty like an ink painting.

His aura was noble and elegant, but his phoenix eyes were narrow and deep, like an ancient pond, harboring intrigue and mystery.

Yet his beauty was cold and magnificent, with a strange black and red pendant on his forehead, adorned with intricate patterns.

He also seemed to be releasing some sort of superpower aura, as if surrounded by a black mist, giving an extremely oppressive feeling.

At the moment she saw him, Su Muyao’s face changed.

Through the memory of her predecessor, she knew this was Mei Qingchen, one of her five current beast husbands.

His true form was a Netherworld Black Panther Beast and he was the designated heir of the noble Mei Family.

The Mei Family was an ancient clan with extremely mysterious family power.

Her predecessor had seen Mei Qingchen once at an imperial palace birthday banquet and was shocked by his heavenly appearance, determined to have him.

For this, she even went on a hunger strike.

No one knew what method the father of this body used to make the Mei Family agree to marry Mei Qingchen to her as a beast husband.

In any case, Mei Qingchen was carrying a mysterious power.

Every time her predecessor tried to get close to him, her body would feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, up until now, her predecessor hadn’t even touched the sleeve of Mei Qingchen.

Unlike Hua Linye, Wen Nanxi, and Xiao Jihan who all wore beast skins,

Mei Qingchen wore a very noble brocade robe, with a faint luster emitting from the quality, and patterns embroidered on the hem.

This was a family totem symbol.

Only noble families with enough heritage had such unique marks.

"Mei... Mei Qingchen?"

Su Muyao’s eyes were trembling.

This person gave her the feeling of being powerful, with an overpowering pressure even stronger.

His phoenix eyes looked at her with extreme disgust, followed by indifference.

"Host, you need to be careful!"

"Host, her predecessor had always failed in trying to sleep with this beast husband and hadn’t even touched his clothes. In anger, she tried to retaliate by throwing Mei Qingchen’s very important Lifebound Sword off the cliff on the Exile Road."

"Oh, Mei Qingchen was protecting her predecessor from numerous Mutated Beasts on the Exile Road and was severely injured. Her predecessor took the opportunity during his unconsciousness to act."

"He’s certainly come back this time to kill you."

Su Muyao knew that the Lifebound Sword was a Magic Sword with which its owner had been bonded since childhood and it was sensitive.

When Su Muyao heard this from the system, her face changed.

Her mouth twitched; her predecessor was really courting death.

She quickly wanted to absorb the Wood Element Ability around her to increase her strength.

"Something’s wrong, system, why hasn’t my Wood Element Ability increased much despite the lush vegetation and rich natural aura here?"

The Space System said: "Host, it could be because the Heavenly Dao Rules in the Beast World Continent are different."

"Here, the she-beasts generally don’t have superpowers, only spiritual power, which is mainly used to soothe the beast husband’s raging Spirit Sea."

"Your superpower is quite unique, so it might be hard to upgrade."

"Maybe the Wood Healing Ability also requires the host to get closer to the beast husband to level up."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao almost fainted.

Mei Qingchen’s lips, as exquisitely beautiful as roses, curled slightly, with a cold yet gorgeous arc, truly dangerous.

As if emerging from the darkness, filled with murderous aura, his voice mocked, "So the wife still remembers me!"

As he spoke, Mei Qingchen moved his finger and took out a sword.

However, the sword was surrounded by a black aura, and the blade seemed decayed and broken.

The once sharp sword energy and Spiritual Sword Light seemed to be gone.

"I suppose this sword is not unfamiliar to the wife!"

Su Muyao looked at the sword, her pupils contracted.

She knew from memory how good this sword had been.

Now it looked like it had been seriously injured and was also invaded by the black aura.

Logically, this sword was now a ruined sword.

Su Muyao felt it was such a pity!

The Space System exclaimed, "Oh my, host, such a good sword has been invaded like this."

"The Lifebound Sword can sense its master, Mei Qingchen must be very angry now."

"Host, you better hide!"

Watching Su Muyao’s expression, Mei Qingchen’s phoenix eyes were dyed with a bloodthirsty gloom.

"It seems the wife remembers, so let’s also settle our old accounts."

Mei Qingchen looked like he was about to make a move.

Su Muyao indeed wanted to hide, to enter the space.

"Huh, why can’t I enter the space?"

The Space System said in a helpless tone, "Host, Mei Qingchen’s strength is very powerful, he has sealed this place, so you can’t hide."

"But rest assured, host, there’s a contract binding between beast husband and wife, he can’t kill the wife."

Su Muyao said, "He’s Mei Qingchen, didn’t the Sharp-beaked Bird Beast say before that they have a way to counter the contract?"

Just then, Xiao Jihan blocked in front of Su Muyao.

"Mei Qingchen, calm down!"

"She is our wife!"

Watching Xiao Jihan blocking in front of her, Su Muyao’s expression changed slightly.

She almost forgot about Xiao Jihan.

Or perhaps subconsciously, she didn’t think Xiao Jihan would protect her.

Unexpectedly, he still stood in front of her.

Su Muyao comforted herself, thinking he must be afraid she’d die and implicate him.

Mei Qingchen’s hand paused slightly, looking at Xiao Jihan with a strange expression, "Just in name."

"I don’t acknowledge her as my wife."

"Xiao Jihan, do you really want to stop me?"

Xiao Jihan stood his ground, his whole body surging with Ice Element Ability, condensing an Ice Blade aimed at Mei Qingchen.

"Mei Qingchen, if you want to hurt her, you’ll have to kill me."

Mei Qingchen and Xiao Jihan had no actual conflict.

Moreover, on the Exile Road, they had fought together.

The dark whirlpool in Mei Qingchen’s eyes grew thicker.

"Xiao Jihan, don’t forget what she did to us all before."

"On the Exile Road, we protected her with all we had, but she did what she did while we were injured; have you forgotten?"

"Keeping her is a disaster."

Su Muyao watched the confrontation between Xiao Jihan and Mei Qingchen, wanting to say something.

"Mei Qingchen, calm down."

"As long as you don’t attack or kill me, I can end our relationship, then you won’t be my beast husband anymore."

Listening to these words, Mei Qingchen’s eyes were like swords, "Ha, you said that before too, do you think I’ll still believe you?"

Su Muyao was taken aback by these words, seeing the killing intent solidified in his eyes.

A memory surged in her mind.

To make the five beast husbands protect her on the Exile Road,

Her predecessor indeed said the relationship would end upon reaching the tribe.

She tricked them, initially acting well to gain their trust.

But when they let their guard down, she did many unforgivable things.

Ah!

She wished she could cover her face and find a place to hide.
