Chapter 306: Chapter 306: The Most Handsome Man

After asking, Su Muyao felt that her question was quite inappropriate, claiming not to know Nalan Gui Xue, yet asking such questions.

Just as she was about to make a slight correction.

But the masked man already started to answer her, "It’s said that Young Master Nalan strongly refused at first, but the clan elders kept pressuring him, forcing him to agree."

"As for what happened afterward, I am not sure."

Su Muyao didn’t expect this man to have such a good temperament. Whatever she asked, he answered.

Moreover, he was quite courteous. Ever since she woke up, it was always her asking various questions, and each one was patiently answered without any sign of impatience, nor did he ask about her background or matters.

Su Muyao gratefully said, "Thank you, benefactor, for telling me this."

"My name is Su Muyao. May I know the benefactor’s name?"

"Ye Ying."

"Ah?"

"That’s my name."

Su Muyao never expected the man’s name to be Ye Ying, quite an unusual name.

She muttered softly, "Ye Ying, it sounds lovely."

"Are you also an Ice and Snow Spirit Beast?"

Ye Ying spoke, "No, I am a Black Swan Beastman."

Su Muyao was surprised to hear Ye Ying, looking at him in disbelief; she never expected him to be a Black Swan Beastman.

"Don’t swans prefer warm environments?"

"How can you stay in such a cold place? Can you adapt to such a freezing climate?"

No wonder he wore such a thick cloak.

According to Su Muyao’s understanding, swans are gregarious, migrating together as a group.

Ye Ying was silent, keeping his head down as he continued to slice rabbit meat and place it on leaves.

Looking at his graceful yet silent demeanor, Su Muyao’s mind instantly filled with various thoughts, "Were you abandoned by your group?"

She knew that many concepts of Beastman in the Beast World differ from humans.

In the Beast World, if a group has a sickly beastman holding them back, it’s highly likely they will be abandoned by their group.

It’s the same on the Mortal Beast Continent; if a tribe or family has such a beastman, the tribe or even the family might make a similar choice.

Unless the parents really care and cherish them.

Ye Ying wrapped the rabbit meat with leaves and handed it to Su Muyao, "You should eat a bit more."

Su Muyao wasn’t very hungry now. Those meat pieces had filled her stomach, and at the moment, her body was still brimming with a faint spiritual power.

Realizing something, she paused with a look of surprise, "Does this rabbit meat naturally contain spiritual energy?"

"Meat from non-mutated wild beasts carries spiritual energy, not only filling your belly but also replenishing spiritual energy."

Su Muyao was stunned, "Are there also mutated wild beasts here?"

Ye Ying nodded, "Yes, but there are fewer in the Xuanbing Snowfield. Due to the harsh climate here, there are fewer mutated wild beasts."

"Other places have relatively more mutated wild beasts."

The system murmured in Su Muyao’s ear, "Didn’t expect the Cang Beast Continent also has mutated beasts invaded by darkness. I wonder if the mutated beasts here are the same as those on the Mortal Beast Continent."

Su Muyao handed the wrapped rabbit meat to Ye Ying, "You eat too."

"I’m not hungry, you go ahead."

Just as Ye Ying finished speaking, sharp bird cries suddenly came from outside.

A huge bird, probably attracted by the aroma, flew towards their cave. But due to its large size, it crashed directly at the cave entrance.

Its movement was extremely fierce, causing the stones on the cave wall to start falling.

Ye Ying quickly unfurled Black Swan wings to shield Su Muyao from the stones, like a giant umbrella protecting her from all the falling stones.

All the stones fell "pounding" onto Ye Ying’s wings.

Su Muyao listening could only imagine the pain.

Although she couldn’t see his facial expression clearly, she felt he must be in pain, "Are you alright?"

She was about to offer healing with her Wood Element Ability, but Ye Ying, clutching a flying knife, swiftly shot it towards the bird at the entrance.

The bird seemed to be hit by the knife, screeched, and flew away, leaving the cave.

The vibration sensation instantly vanished.

Ye Ying chased after, transforming into a giant swan and flew away.

Su Muyao sat in the cave, dazed.

The system gasped, "Host, didn’t expect Ye Ying’s true form as a Black Swan is so big, several times bigger than the swans from our Mortal Beast Continent."

"That bird too, so large in size."

"Could it be that the wild beasts and beastmen of the Cang Beast Continent are all large in size?"

"No, Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts aren’t large in size."

"That bird beast only knew how to attack brutishly."

"The spiritual energy here is abundant, and beasts growing in such an environment have meat naturally carrying spiritual energy. Roasting it smells particularly fragrant, perhaps that’s what attracted it."

After a while, Ye Ying returned and spoke, "Miss Su, this place isn’t suitable for a long stay. Let me take you away from here first."

Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."

But when she rose and approached Ye Ying, she smelled blood, "Are you injured?"

"It’s nothing, just a minor wound."

Su Muyao held his sleeve, "Don’t move, I know a bit about medicine; let me take a look first."

Ye Ying stopped moving, and Su Muyao checked his pulse, discovering his body was extremely weak, his pulse somewhat peculiar and complex. For a moment, Su Muyao couldn’t discern the uniqueness of his pulse, so she used the Wood Element Ability to heal him.

However, his body was strange, so weak, even though her Level 10 Wood Ability should have helped him recover.

But when she infused her Wood Element Ability, his body only improved slightly, seeming like a leaking vessel.

"Thank you, Miss Su, I feel much better now."

"Let me lead Miss Su away from here; the snowfall outside is getting heavier."

"Head to the nearest city first."

Watching the snowflakes falling outside, Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."

Ye Ying transformed into his true form carrying her for flight, against the wind and snow, but using his power to shield her from the elements.

Leaning against Ye Ying’s true form, Su Muyao looked down and saw tall, robust trees, thick snow, and wild beasts running in the forest.

Also, many beasts she had never seen on the Mortal Beast Continent.

The system marveled repeatedly, "Host, I discovered there are many large, fierce beasts here."

"And some of their eyes seem abnormal; they must be mutated. No wonder the fighting is so fierce."

...

After flying for two days, Ye Ying finally arrived at the nearest city.

"This is the Snow Domain Central City, White Snow City."

The city gate was tens of zhang high, built with massive white stones, carved with mysterious talismans.

Su Muyao looked at the talismans, sensing they reinforced defensive power, able to ward off attacks.

Ye Ying explained, "This city existed since ancient times, and was later reconstructed after being destroyed during wartime."

"It used to be a huge tribe that gradually evolved into a city."

Ye Ying explained as he handed identification to the gate guards, and they entered.

"Local beastmen can freely enter and exit, but beastmen from other areas need to pay some Spirit Stone to enter."

The system commented, "This Ye Ying is interesting, as he seems to know what you want to know and directly explains it to you."

Su Muyao looked at Ye Ying, and she couldn’t deny, he felt comfortable and at ease.

Once inside the city, she found most of the buildings were stone houses, constructed spaciously, otherwise similar to Mortal Beast Continent city.

"Miss Su, my residence is on the east side."

Su Muyao followed Ye Ying towards the east but soon encountered a convoy.

"Oh my, it’s Young Master Nalan’s carriage."

"Young Master Nalan."

"Ah! Ah! Ah! We might see Young Master Nalan."

"I heard Young Master Nalan is exceptionally beautiful, the most handsome man, but we’ve never seen his appearance."
