Chapter 879 - 865: Aura

Xuan Yan desired deeply, because his love surged within him, just holding his wife filled his heart with endless undercurrents, his eyes reflecting waves, as if a whirlpool was churning, hoping to completely swallow Su Muyao.

Yet he still maintained a graceful and enchanting demeanor, gently soothing Su Muyao’s back, whispering, "The environment here is too harsh; I can’t bear to let you suffer here."

"But I don’t feel it’s a hardship."

Su Muyao genuinely did not feel aggrieved; she could sense Xuan Yan’s immense restraint.

However, Xuan Yan felt he should handle her with utmost care; she deserved the best of everything.

He yearned to return to the Bird Clan, where he had established a luxurious treehouse atop the best and tallest tree.

Moreover, there were many surrounding rooms, ready to arrange for Zaizais, so he and his wife could properly form their Contract.

He could offer everything he had in the Bird Clan to his wife, including various Crystal Stones.

He wanted to give his wife the most beautiful experience.

Afraid that during their Contract, it’d be insufficient, giving his wife an unpleasant experience, diminishing her feelings towards him.

Due to lacking memories and the brief interaction with his wife over a few months, Xuan Yan was always cautious, filled with worries and anxiety.

And he knew Xiao Jihan knew his wife from the very beginning, their affection was deep, a comparison he couldn’t make.

Through Xuan Yan’s gaze, Su Muyao saw the determination within and understood his resolve.

So she quietly stayed in his embrace, listening to him for the time being.

For three consecutive days, they stayed in the cave waiting for the rain to stop.

But the rain kept pouring; it never ceased.

Su Muyao began to feel anxious and frustrated.

For Xuan Yan, as long as he was with his wife, anywhere was fine.

Even staying in a cave, he was willing.

He endeavored to take good care of his wife and Zaizais.

But food consumption in the cave drew large beasts from the rainforest, including a Demon Beast, which attacked the cave.

Xuan Yan unleashed pressure and fought with his Fire Ability.

However, in the rainforest, the power of Fire Ability was significantly diminished.

Yet thinking of his wife and Zaizais in the cave, Xuan Yan’s combat strength erupted repeatedly.

Unlike when facing Su Muyao and Zaizais, Xuan Yan’s blood-colored eyes now carried fierce killing intent, though injured, he grew more valiant as he fought.

He knew he absolutely must not fall.

Simultaneously, he realized that he alone, as a Beast Husband, was insufficient to protect his wife and Zaizais.

If they returned to the Bird Tribe, it would be fine, but currently, they were still on the road, needing quite some time to reach the Bird Tribe.

Su Muyao frequently used Wood Element Ability to assist Xuan Yan, cooperating in battle.

At the same time, seeing Xuan Yan injured while protecting her made her eyes redden.

After struggling to deal with the beasts and Demon Beast, Xuan Yan was left with scattered feathers, his whole beastman form looking devoid of spirit, blood-colored eyes turning bleak.

"Xuan Yan, don’t be hurt."

Su Muyao hurriedly employed Wood Element Ability to heal Xuan Yan.

Fortunately, with her Level 2 Wood Element Ability, Xuan Yan was quickly healed.

Xuan Yan saw the female shedding tears for him, tenderly lowering his head to kiss her eyes, "Don’t cry, I’m fine."

"But we mustn’t stay here; this blood scent will immediately attract more beasts, even Demon Beast, we must leave at once."

"Alright."

Su Muyao hurried to pack in the cave, taking Da Bao and the others to set off.

In the rainforest, Xuan Yan’s true form was inconvenient for flying, only able to traverse through the forest.

Xuan Yan concentrated, "I remember there are several tribes nearby; follow this path, we’ll arrive soon."

Previously worried about the tribe environment’s safety, they couldn’t afford such concern now.

At least the wife and Zaizais should live well.

After a day of walking, they finally arrived at a stone gate at the entrance of a tribe, precisely a deserted tribe.

The snake totem on the stone gate was shattered, with the tribal name at the top.

Su Muyao’s face changed, "Is this the Green Snake Tribe?"

Because of Wen Nanxi’s Beast Husband, Su Muyao wasn’t afraid of snakes, rather she felt Snake Beastman were quite decent.

They were just misunderstood.

"How could this happen?"

Su Muyao and the others stepped in, discovering the stone houses empty, with many scattered items on the ground, some stone houses bearing battle marks.

For some reason, Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel worried.

"Are there any Snake Beastmen left?"

Su Muyao wanted to find some Snake Beastmen, but only saw some fallen green snake scales on the ground, the color identical to Wen Nanxi’s.

Su Muyao’s fingers trembled involuntarily.

With Level 6 strength, Xuan Yan’s perception was more remarkable, sensing the area, "There’s no aura of Snake Beastman around; there was a fierce battle here, likely causing them to flee the tribe."

"There are quite few Snake Beastman corpses in the tribe."

"Most likely they survived; Snake Beastmen are fast, probably alright."

Xuan Yan knew his wife had a Snake Beastman as a Beast Husband, aware of her anxiety, trying to comfort her.

Su Muyao felt slightly relieved hearing this, yet couldn’t help worry.

Subconsciously, she desired to find Wen Nanxi.

It had been some time since she last saw Wen Nanxi; she didn’t know how he was now.

At that moment, the system spoke, "Host, ahead, there’s a faint aura of Wen Nanxi; I can sense it."

Hearing this, Su Muyao couldn’t care about anything else, rushing madly towards the tribe’s center.

She saw a pond in the center.

"Wife..."

Xuan Yan and the three Zaizais hurriedly followed.

Upon reaching the pond, Su Muyao did not find Wen Nanxi’s figure, she jumped by the pond’s edge to look, finding nothing, except a Snake Shedding.

Seeing the Snake Shedding, Su Muyao was thrilled, "This is... Nanxi’s Snake Shedding."

She judged it correctly, it was the aura from Nanxi’s body.

The system also excited, "Correct, it’s Wen Nanxi’s aura, from the Snake Shedding."

"Host, this means Wen Nanxi is also in this world, which is wonderful."

"It signifies he has stayed in the tribe, though might have left now."

"Nonetheless, having clues is beneficial; it makes finding easier."

Xuan Yan saw his wife so elated, feeling somewhat silently sorrowful, realizing she was so good, undoubtedly having many Beast Husbands.

His wife like this was a deeply affectionate, loyal female.

"Don’t worry, we’ll search; surely, we’ll find him."

"Perhaps there are traces of him within the tribe as well."

The three Zaizais were a bit bewildered, but sniffed the Snake Shedding’s aura and followed it to search within the tribe.

Eventually, Xuan Yan found some traces of aura in a central stone house.

"Wife, there are traces of him here, indicating he once lived here."
