Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Fully Prepared
Su Muyao paused as she heard these words.
She turned her head to look at those discussing, wanting to confirm she hadn’t misheard.
That day in the dream, she recounted past events to Nalan Gui Xue. Every word he spoke to her afterwards is etched clearly in her memory.
He asked her to return to him, he begged her not to leave.
She agreed. Last time, when he was unconscious, she wrote the Divorce Letter without any respect for him.
But this time, she had agreed to his request, so she would not back out.
That’s why, for these three days, she hadn’t left; she was waiting for him.
Waiting for the real him to come searching.
But she hadn’t anticipated something like this.
Miraculously, Su Muyao felt very calm inside.
The system urgently asked, "Host, are you alright?"
It sensed that its host was too calm at the moment; it was a little worried.
"What exactly happened in the dream, what was said?"
"Did the host tell Nalan Gui Xue about the past, and he didn’t believe you? Or does he know about the past and has truly said goodbye to it, agreeing with ease to marry the Holy Female?"
"Also, marrying their clan’s Holy Female is beneficial and not harmful to him, the host comes from the Mortal Beast Continent, he might even look down on that."
The system could only speculate with the worst intentions about Nalan Gui Xue; otherwise, it couldn’t understand why Nalan Gui Xue previously strongly refused the marriage, yet now agreed.
The system knew that Su Muyao was supposed to travel early to find Yun Qinglan at the Xuanyuan Family, but because of Nalan Gui Xue’s situation, Su Muyao hadn’t set off yet.
Su Muyao always believed in Nalan Gui Xue, believed in every word he said.
Su Muyao pondered solemnly for a while and said, "I feel something’s off."
The system asked, "What feels off, host, were you shocked? He is about to marry the Holy Female."
Su Muyao confirmed, "I believe he wouldn’t do such a thing."
In the dream, even if Nalan Gui Xue lost his memory and became darkened, he still spoke those words to her.
Even if there were no feelings, she believed in his noble character, his word is his bond.
Su Muyao disregarded her shopping plans and headed towards the residence of the Nalan Clan.
"No, host, what are you doing? You wouldn’t be heading to the Nalan Family, would you?"
"Host, this is the Cang Beast Continent. Over three days, you’ve gathered quite a bit of information by roaming around. On the Cang Beast Continent, Level 10 power is just ordinary strength."
"The elite guards of the Nalan Clan are beyond Level 10 strength, not to mention the Clan Elders. Meeting Nalan Gui Xue is too difficult."
Otherwise, over these three days, the host wouldn’t have had to wait for Nalan Gui Xue to come looking.
The system worried the host was stimulated, about to do something impulsive.
Su Muyao understood the system’s concern for her and soothed, "Don’t worry, when has your host ever acted impulsively?"
"I need to find a way to meet Nalan Gui Xue. I’m worried he encountered some danger."
"Or has been controlled by someone."
"Now his mother doesn’t care for him, essentially abandoning him, and his father who hadn’t appeared for years suddenly showed up to bring him back to the clan. The purpose is still unknown."
"I can’t just stand by and watch him be in danger. Even if it’s a mere suspicion, I have to confirm it."
The system said, "What if he is fine, with no danger and no one forcing him? He might have simply figured it out, willingly choosing to marry the Holy Female."
Su Muyao calmly and seriously stated, "If that’s the case, then I will leave, never to have any ties with him again."
And she will entirely remove him from her heart.
Su Muyao arrived outside the Nalan Clan Mansion, silently observing the large stone estate.
From the outside, the gate appeared lofty and towering, and the courtyard walls were equally high.
She activated her own Wood Element Superpower, using the energy of nearby plants to sense the aura of the Nalan Clan’s surrounding guards—at least Level 10 superpower strength, with many at over Level 10 superpower strength—making the mansion’s defense formidable.
Meeting Nalan Gui Xue wouldn’t be easy.
While silently observing the area, many pedestrians moved along the road. As they passed the Nalan Mansion, discussions revolved around Nalan Gui Xue’s engagement to the Holy Female.
"Wonder what the Nalan Clan’s Holy Female looks like; no one has ever seen her."
"Naturally, an ordinary beastman wouldn’t get to see the Holy Female. It’s said this Holy Female is the granddaughter of the Nalan Clan’s Seventh Elder, and she wasn’t living within the clan before; she was brought back on her coming-of-age day. Once brought back, it was discovered she was the Holy Female, destined to become the Young Master’s Wife and future matriarch."
At this moment, two beastmen came out of a small door within the Nalan Clan Mansion.
"Tomorrow is the Young Master and Holy Female’s engagement ceremony; all preparations must be complete."
"Of course, this is a grand event for our Nalan Clan. With offspring possessing strong talent in the future, our Nalan Clan’s strength will be even greater..."
Listening to these words, Su Muyao’s gaze grew somber. After a moment’s thought, she planned to return. Just as she turned a corner, a group of black-clad individuals suddenly charged at her.
"It must be her, named Muyao, take action!"
These black-clad individuals were of strength ranging from Level 10 to Level 12, immediately surrounding Su Muyao for the kill.
"Host, what’s going on, why did these people suddenly appear to attack you?"
The system exclaimed.
"Ahhhh, so many people to kill you, including several Level 12 experts."
Su Muyao’s expression turned cold as she swiftly engaged in combat, her clothes stirring with no wind, and her Wood Element Ability erupted instantaneously.
Tendrils shot up from the ground, but as they did, they were shattered by two crimson blade energies at the forefront.
At the same time, Su Muyao lightly tapped her toes, flipping into the air, firing hidden weapon blades in shower like a storm of pear blossoms.
The Soft Sword at her waist was swiftly unsheathed, sweeping like an afterimage—the flash snuffed out a Level 10 Superpower User.
Facing so many stronger opponents, she attacked decisively and efficiently, with speed, force, and precision.
She harnessed the surrounding Wood Element Superpower to use, counterattacking these black-clad experts.
Seeing Su Muyao’s moves, these black-clad individuals returned shocked gazes.
They realized if she wasn’t killed, this female would definitely be a formidable opponent for the young lady.
"Make sure to kill her, attack!"
Their leader shouted angrily, one of the black-clad beastmen wielding a Flame Palm, another injected superpower into his blade fiercely slashing towards Su Muyao.
Others surrounded her even more.
Su Muyao’s Soft Sword entwined around the nearest black-clad one, while her Wood Element superpower tendrils wrapped around other assassins.
These black-clad ones quickly hacked down the tendrils, but two slower ones were pierced through their meridians by the tendril’s sudden barbs.
Normally, their superpower wouldn’t cause any harm, but as they exercised superpower, their complexion changed, "Poison?"
"How could you be a Poison Pharmacist?"
These words were very familiar to Su Muyao; when she saved Hua Linye’s grandparents on the Mortal Beast Continent, facing those experts, it was the same speech.
A Poison Pharmacist?
"No, this poison doesn’t ordinarily have such lethal effects. This poison is indeed domineering."
"Movements are slowed."
Their superpower movements slowed significantly. In that instant, Su Muyao swiftly killed three black-clad assassins.
"Ah..."
While killing rampantly, Su Muyao coldly demanded, "Reveal the person behind you, and I’ll grant you a swift end."
She made ample preparations for coming to the Cang Beast Continent; relying solely on force couldn’t secure a foothold.
