Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Trapped Like Rats in a Jar

Because some of Su Muyao’s childhood memories have recovered, she feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity facing Yun Qinglan.

Thinking about the words he said to her, she couldn’t bear to refuse.

Perhaps there’s no reason to refuse.

She just hasn’t decided whether to take another Beast Husband.

Su Muyao looked up and met Yun Qinglan’s worried expression, and said, "I’m fine, those soldiers are mainly looking for Yan Zhaoye and incidentally captured Liu Mengyan."

Yun Qinglan’s clear eyes carefully examined her, confirmed that she was really fine, and then relaxed, "As long as you’re okay."

The only person he worried about was her.

"I know the Liu Family has been sealed, so I speculated that some matters might be related to the Liu Family."

"After arriving at the Beast Emperor City, I heard about some past events and learned that Liu Mengyan always troubles you. I was worried she might have done something to you again."

Yun Qinglan wasn’t very familiar with many past events in Beast Emperor City.

This time coming to Beast Emperor City, he had people gather a lot of information, all concerning her.

Knowing what she had experienced before, he felt distressed but didn’t know what he could do for her.

Su Muyao explained, "She did want to do something to me, but didn’t have time to carry it out."

"She’s not the real daughter of the Liu Family; her true form is a Spider Beastman, just using a Magic Artifact to conceal it."

Su Muyao trusted Yun Qinglan and was willing to tell him these things.

Upon hearing "Spider Beastman", Yun Qinglan, despite his usually calm demeanor, was shocked.

"According to Ancient Books, over ten thousand years ago, Spider Beastmen belonged to the Insect Clan beastmen. Their tribe possessed a unique Secret Technique, enhancing their strength by harming innocent Beastmen, thus being suppressed by the powerful of Wushan Divine Hall in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land."

"The Nine Nether Forbidden Land seals many Sinful Beasts. It’s said that the environment there is dangerous, resources and Spiritual Energy extremely scarce, surrounded by the Endless Sea, its seabed filled with Ancient Fierce Beasts, brimming with endless danger. Even if the seal of Nine Nether Forbidden Land were lifted, those Beastmen couldn’t cross the Endless Sea. It is logical to say that the Beastmen of Nine Nether Forbidden Land shouldn’t be able to come out, much less reach the Beastman Continent."

Yun Qinglan, having had poor health previously, was accustomed to reading all kinds of books, including Ancient Books of the Yun Family.

Listening to these words, Su Muyao’s expression turned solemn, pondering aloud: "Perhaps when they were sealed there were some that slipped through the net, or maybe they have some Secret Technique to send Beastmen out."

Su Muyao thought it likely that the Spider Beastmen sent Liu Mengyan out.

Because when using Time Reversal to view Liu Mengyan’s secrets, she and her servant said they must complete the task for the sake of her tribe.

Seems like the Spider Beastmen sent them over.

Yun Qinglan’s clear eyes also carried a trace of seriousness, saying, "If that’s the case, then perhaps there are other hidden Spider Beastmen on our continent."

Su Muyao said, "Liu Mengyan has been caught, her identity should be quite extraordinary to the Spider Beastmen, so she can be used to lure out other Spider Beastmen."

Currently Liu Mengyan is still in prison being interrogated, once all the information is extracted, she can be used to lure out and capture the Spider Beastmen all at once.

Even saying so, Yun Qinglan still worriedly said, "We still need to be careful."

"If there’s anything you need me to do, just tell me."

For some reason, Yun Qinglan had a persistent feeling of unease, worried about Su Muyao, fearing she might get hurt.

He wanted to stay by her side, but he also didn’t want to be presumptuous and abrupt.

Moreover, now she has a Beast Husband to protect her.

Su Muyao nodded, "Mm, I know, don’t worry, you have to protect yourself too."

Yun Qinglan felt Su Muyao’s concern, a warmth bubbling in his heart, even somewhat flattered.

He put down the snacks he made, "These are medicinal snacks I made, hope you like them."

Yun Qinglan knew Su Muyao was a good cook, able to create various delicacies, but he wanted to be good to her, not knowing how, so he learned to make some medicinal snacks.

"Try one and see."

Yun Qinglan looked at Su Muyao with expectant eyes, Su Muyao nodded, picked one up and ate it.

She smiled with eyes curved, "Mm, the texture is great, thank you."

"No need to thank me, as long as you like it."

Yun Qinglan stayed with Su Muyao chatting for a while, then reluctantly prepared to leave.

Actually, they’ve known each other since childhood, spending a lot of time together, as she had said some things to him back then.

He still remembers, but since she doesn’t, he refrains from saying much.

He doesn’t want to bring her pressure and burden.

Su Muyao met Yun Qinglan’s deep-seated affection in his eyes, and suggested, "Why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, joy instantly spread in Yun Qinglan’s eyes, as if immersed in the gentle thaw of March spring waters.

"Okay."

Wen Nanxi and the others finding out Yun Qinglan stayed for dinner weren’t surprised.

At times in the Beiluo Tribe, Yun Qinglan also stayed for meals.

Su Muyao took everyone to have a hotpot meal.

Wen Nanxi recalled Su Muyao saying that after winter, hotpot is most suitable, after having hotpot twice, they learned how to make it.

On normal days, Wen Nanxi and the others made some meatballs and stored them. They can be taken directly for hotpot meals.

At dinner, everyone gathered to eat, a scene of harmony and joy.

Yun Qinglan loved this lively and warm atmosphere, wishing deeply to become her Beast Husband and integrate into it, yet unsure if he could have the chance.

After dinner, Yun Qinglan helped tidy up a bit then left.

Leaving Su Mansion, amidst the wind and snow, he suddenly seemed to sense something, his superpower burst forth, directly striking towards the darkness.

Countless black-clad figures hidden in the shadows suddenly emerged, many Spider Beastmen also transformed into their true forms and attacked Su Mansion.

Yun Qinglan used his superpower to fend off these black-clad assassins while shouting, "Assassins!"

Su Muyao heard Yun Qinglan’s words, leapt from inside the house to the courtyard, activating an array already set upon the ground with a light step.

A Protective Shield gathered over Su Mansion.

Wen Nanxi and the others instantly appeared by Su Muyao’s side, surrounding her, forming a protective circle.

Su Muyao said to Yun Qinglan, "Quick, into the yard."

Yun Qinglan dealt with two black-clad figures, then leapt into the courtyard.

Su Muyao held him at a certain spot, saying, "Stand here, don’t move."

"Their arrival is convenient, we can catch them in a trap."

Since returning to Beast Emperor City and residing at Su Mansion, Su Muyao had been prepared early on.

She set up a Protective Array.

This array serves to protect, preventing them from intruding on Su Mansion, harming its innocent servants.

As the array activated, dozens of Spider Beastmen charged in, manipulating Spider Silk to attack Su Muyao.

But they were repelled by the barrier’s power.

"Kill her!"

The Spider Beastmen stared intently at Su Muyao, targeting her for elimination.

But under the protection of the barrier, Wen Nanxi and the others shot out Hidden Weapon, several Spider Beastmen instantly perished.

Then a black-clad figure among the Spider Beastmen stepped forward, enveloped in a black cloak, yet possessing Level 12 superpower pressure.

His voice cold and sinister, "Hmph, trifling techniques."

As he spoke, his Earth Element Ability erupted, the ground cracking like a spider web, with a piercing sound, countless Earth Spikes burst forth like fangs soaked in cold light.
