Chapter 941 - 927: Ghost Ruins Canyon

Listening to these words, Su Muyao’s spirit was stirred.

Her eyes lit up.

It would be great if that were the case.

She thought she needed the Twelve Beast Gods to mend the Divine Domain.

Turns out six Beast Gods would suffice.

"So does the Divine Domain only need six Beast Gods?"

Xiao Xing shook its leaves and replied, "No, it’s just that this piece of Divine Domain Fragment is repaired, allowing the master to leave. To save the world, it still requires the Twelve Beast Gods."

"That means the master must have twelve Beast Husbands at least."

"Yes, that’s how it is."

Even if Xiao Xing couldn’t remember many things and its memories were foggy, this was an innate understanding.

It needed twelve Beast Gods.

Su Muyao’s eyes widened as her whole body trembled, as if struck by lightning, immobile.

She calculated her current Beast Husbands, far from reaching twelve.

With a trembling voice, she asked, "Xiao Xing, are you mistaken?"

"I don’t have twelve Beast Husbands."

Xiao Xing replied straightforwardly, "The master can gather enough, that’s all."

As if it was extremely simple.

Su Muyao’s mouth twitched fiercely.

It’s not that simple.

"But I don’t want to take in more Beast Husbands."

She’s already given her feelings to the Beast Husbands; there’s no room in her heart.

Moreover, she felt indebted to the Beast Husbands.

She always thought she spent too little time with them, yet due to her inherent responsibility of saving the world, they took on that duty for her.

Perhaps, they too weren’t willing to become Beast Gods, but for her sake, they did.

Xiao Xing said, "Master, don’t be sad. When the time comes, someone will naturally become your Beast Husband."

"They have bonds with the master."

"The master just needs to keep moving forward; your twelve Beast Husbands will naturally come together."

Even with blurred memories, Xiao Xing knew this instinctively.

When Su Muyao asked more questions, Xiao Xing didn’t know the answers.

Su Muyao spent some time with Xiao Xing before returning with Yun Qinglan.

Yun Qinglan saw her serious expression and assumed she was worried about Xiao Xing, not realizing she was communicating with it through her consciousness earlier.

"Don’t worry too much, Xiao Xing will grow back, it’s like a rejuvenation."

Yun Qinglan’s words made Su Muyao laugh.

"Indeed."

No wonder Xiao Xing liked this state.

Su Muyao said, "I just communicated with Xiao Xing through consciousness, it told me some things..."

Su Muyao briefly told Yun Qinglan what Xiao Xing had shared.

She didn’t mention the part about gathering twelve Beast Husbands for the moment.

She didn’t want Yun Qinglan to be upset.

Although Yun Qinglan acted gentle and generous, he might not express his true feelings.

After hearing her, Yun Qinglan’s expression changed, his clear, elegant eyes reflecting a deep color, "Wife, since Xiao Xing said so, it indicates that Cangwu Luoxia Mountain might have been where you once lived."

"As for the Phoenix Tree Beastman, you’ll encounter him sooner or later."

Perhaps the tree branch that emerged that day was from the Phoenix Tree Beastman.

"When the time comes, you’ll know what you need to know; don’t overthink it now, wife."

Once the six Beast Gods gather, the Divine Domain Fragment will be repaired, the gateway to this world will open, and the wife can leave here.

There’s no need to be trapped here.

Yun Qinglan guessed the six Beast Gods should be able to resolve the hidden Demon Beasts within the Divine Domain Fragment.

Or close the passage for Demon Beasts to enter here.

With Yun Qinglan’s comfort, Su Muyao’s heart settled, "You’re right, if it doesn’t make sense, don’t think about it now."

It’s better to solve present issues and cherish present people.

As for the Phoenix Tree Beastman, no matter what history or ties exist, since there’s an effort to kill her, they can only be enemies.

No wonder she felt uncomfortable when Teng Lixuan first mentioned the Phoenix Tree Beastman.

Thus, in the days to follow, Su Muyao mainly focused on eating well and taking care of her health, reading ancient books and various documented materials.

Sometimes she would go out with Yun Qinglan to visit the marketplaces.

Since Hua Linye became a Beast God, there were no more disturbances by Demon Beasts near the Imperial City, attracting many out-of-town Beastmen doing business here, along with many marketplaces.

Yun Qinglan worried she might get bored, so he accompanied Su Muyao out to shop, going out to see the sights.

On this day, while Yun Qinglan accompanied Su Muyao in the marketplace, the system suddenly exclaimed in her mind, "Host, that’s the Ten Thousand Spirit Soil, quickly buy it."

While wandering the marketplace, Su Muyao casually looked around without intending to buy anything.

She just enjoyed the feeling of shopping, a sense of relaxation where she could feel the firework atmosphere.

Though she was shopping, the system scanned the surroundings for treasures. If there were any valuable items, it would inform Su Muyao to purchase them.

"What did you say? Ten Thousand Spirit Soil?"

Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel excited.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Soil is something Xiao Xing needs; once obtained, placed in a flower pot, Xiao Xing could stay by Su Muyao’s side.

Xiao Xing won’t need to stay in the spiritual energy-rich area.

With the Ten Thousand Spirit Soil, no matter what happens, Xiao Xing will be fine.

"Yes, the stall on the far right, the soil in the wooden basin there."

Su Muyao swiftly walked over, deliberately browsing other items first, then casually asked about the basin of soil, "How much for this soil?"

She worried her strong intent would cause the stall owner to raise the price.

So she pretended to look at other items while casually checking the soil.

"Fifty Green Crystal Stones."

Green Crystal Stones are highly valuable here.

Because Green Crystal Stones possess healing power.

"Just this bit of soil, for that many Green Crystal Stones?"

Yun Qinglan was ready to pay with the stones but was surprised to see his wife haggling.

Seeing her enjoying it, Yun Qinglan quietly pocketed the stones for now.

The stall owner said, "This soil isn’t ordinary; it emerged during the celestial phenomenon at the Ghost Ruins Canyon in the west, definitely a good thing."

He didn’t grab the treasure but picked up the soil.

Though he didn’t find anything extraordinary, he brought it to sell, thinking that with all the nobles in the Imperial City, maybe someone would recognize its value.

"Did you say the Ghost Ruins Canyon in the west?"

The seller continued, "Yes, three months ago, the Ghost Ruins Canyon opened, many Beastmen gathered there, and many spirit treasure medicinal materials emerged, though also came many Demon Beasts, but a powerful Golden Leopard Beastman handled them all."

"Thanks to that, we managed to get the treasure, shouldn’t expect to find such soil again."

"Next time Ghost Ruins Canyon opens, who knows when."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression tightened, guessing the Golden Leopard Beastman was Mei Qingchen.

Yun Qinglan explained, "I had speculated the emergence of a treasure, a pathway might open, possibly allowing Demon Beasts in. Mei Qingchen and Jing Chu went on a hunt for Demon Beasts, and it turned out to be at Ghost Ruins Canyon."

Though Su Muyao was worried about Mei Qingchen and Jing Chu, she knew she couldn’t travel.

...

Time passed quickly; a month later, Su Muyao gave birth to a Bai Ze Divine Beast female cub.

Before she could hold her cub longer, a celestial glow descended, following the phenomenon, Yun Qinglan along with the cub became a Beast God.

As he became a Beast God, able to eradicate Demon Beasts over a larger area, the Beast World rules became more complete.

That night, Su Muyao dreamt.

In her dream, she married a Phoenix Tree Beastman as a Beast Husband.

He seemed like an extraordinarily beautiful man, donning a green brocade robe like a celestial under the moon.
