Chapter 942 - 928: Wu Loteng

Su Muyao couldn’t clearly see his specific features, just felt they were somewhat blurred, but subconsciously, she thought he seemed very beautiful.

It was as if she was called Su Qicai in Luoxia Mountain because her body emitted a rainbow-colored light.

The Phoenix Tree Beastman became her Beast Husband, but their relationship seemed very cold.

To be precise, it was this Phoenix Tree Beastman named Wu Loteng who was cold to her unilaterally.

At first, she diligently did many things, picking gifts for him, but he didn’t like any of them.

She learned he liked reading, so she racked her brains to gather various books to win his favor.

But he never smiled at her, and he seemed to dislike everything she touched.

She cooked meals for him with care, only for him to say they weren’t good, telling her not to bother doing them anymore.

Upon knowing he liked Youtan flowers, she transplanted them throughout the yard and took care of them meticulously.

Even though she didn’t like their strong fragrance, she still cared for them wholeheartedly.

She did many things for him, but to little effect.

A year later, her power aura hadn’t changed at all, so the Heavenly Destiny Book discovered a problem.

They had never formed a contract.

The Heavenly Destiny Book descended a voice of authority to question them about this matter.

"Wu Loteng, since you have become Su Qicai’s Beast Husband, you should fulfill your duties. You need to form a contract, and after doing so, she can awaken the Immortal Phoenix’s ability to protect the entire Beast World."

"This is not just your issue alone."

After the authoritative voice left, Wu Loteng and Su Muyao returned together to their courtyard room.

It was supposed to be their shared room.

But only on the first day of marriage did they stay there, and later Wu Loteng voluntarily moved to the furthest room away.

They seldom even met while eating.

Upon entering the room, Wu Loteng said coldly, "Su Qicai, what you want is nothing more than my body. You can say it directly; no need to complain to the Heavenly Destiny Book."

Su Qicai shook her head and said, "Wu Loteng, it’s not like that, I’m not trying to form a contract with you."

"I did those things purely to be good to you."

Wu Loteng looked at Su Qicai with eyes of disgust and said, "Good to me, Su Qicai, you have no heart at all."

"Don’t you understand what I want?"

Su Qicai asked, "Then what do you want? Tell me, and I will fetch it for you."

Wu Loteng said coldly, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand."

Su Qicai looked at his eyes, reached out to pull his sleeve, but he flung it away.

His hand seemed to unintentionally hit her hand.

Su Qicai’s hand turned red at once.

"Wu Loteng, you..."

Wu Loteng looked at Su Qicai’s hand, his chest tightened, avoided looking at it, and averted his gaze.

"I don’t like people getting close to me suddenly."

Su Qicai murmured, "But... in the past, you used your Wutong Tree form to carry me, providing energy so I could grow into shape."

"Why was that okay then?"

Why couldn’t she touch him after marriage?

She, being an Immortal Phoenix, needed to sleep on the Phoenix Tree Spirit, which could supplement her energy and allow her to rest better.

That’s why she could transform into human form at adulthood.

She thought he liked her, so she prepared for a long time and prepared many betrothal gifts to marry him.

Who would have thought he was different from what she imagined?

At this moment, Su Qicai felt many things were not as she imagined.

She thought he liked her, but only after realizing did she discover it wasn’t so.

Wu Loteng said, "That was merely the Wutong Tree I created with my Essence Blood, it wasn’t me at all."

"Otherwise, why hadn’t I met you with my transformed form, and why have you always seen that Wutong Tree?"

Su Qicai thought carefully and indeed it was so.

Before the marriage, she had only seen his human form once.

At that time, she was captivated by his face.

Even after seeing many stunningly beautiful male beastmen, she still felt his presence was unique, like the bright moonlight on Luoxia Mountain, pure and untainted.

"You don’t like me."

It was the first time Su Qicai had this realization.

Wu Loteng didn’t answer, which amounted to acquiescence.

Su Qicai said, "If only you had told me earlier."

"If you had told me earlier, you wouldn’t have to be my Beast Husband."

She could marry another beast husband.

To awaken the Immortal Phoenix’s ability, it wasn’t necessary for him to be the Beast Husband, right?

A trace of loathing flickered in Wu Loteng’s eyes as he said, "Do you think I can refute and change what the Heavenly Destiny Book decides?"

Su Qicai looked at the loathing in his eyes, not understanding what about her made him dislike.

If he hated her, she didn’t need to be good to him, didn’t need to like him.

Though now newly transformed, many things she didn’t understand, she knew if someone disliked her, she’d stay far away from them.

"I can talk to the Heavenly Destiny Book about this matter."

Wu Loteng sneered mockingly, "You tell the Heavenly Destiny Book; it favors you greatly and will naturally pressure me."

"Since this is what you want, then let’s form a contract."

Wu Loteng, as if in self-abandonment, began to take off his clothes.

"Don’t, don’t force yourself to do such a thing."

Previously, he was cold to her; she thought it was his nature, but now it seemed he truly didn’t like her.

Even though he was taking off his clothes, she could see he was very resistant.

His entire body was filled with vigilance, his eyes carrying a hint of shame.

With such an expression, Su Qicai lost any intention.

With a self-deprecating smile, Wu Loteng said, "Of course it’s reluctance, Qicai, the person I like isn’t you."

Su Qicai curiously asked, "Then what kind of person do you like, what do they look like?"

At this time, Su Qicai was simply curious.

...

When the dream reached this point, Su Muyao woke up suddenly.

Upon waking, she found Wu Loteng’s appearance in the dream was blurred.

But she knew he was extremely beautiful.

And he had long, beautiful, green hair like seaweed.

Feeling similar to Teng Lixuan’s hair, but their temperament and appearance were different.

After waking, Su Muyao was still in a daze.

The system looked at Su Muyao’s distracted appearance and comforted her, "Host, don’t be sad, Yun Qinglan and Zaizai have become Beast Gods, now there are four Beast Gods, the Divine Domain fragments are almost repaired, take a look, your space has been released, you can use the space now."

"Your strength has also recovered to Level 20 Superpower."

Listening to the system, Su Muyao hurried into the space, finding the space really had been released.

"Great, the space has been released, and the resources inside can be used."

She had stored many things in the space.

Including Spiritual Spring Water.

This month, she had been nurturing Xiao Xing with Ten Thousand Spirit Soil.

"System, can I put Xiao Xing into the space?"

The system spoke, "Of course, Xiao Xing can communicate with your consciousness, and it also seems to have some Great Dao Rule Power; growing in space benefits it and also benefits the host."

Su Muyao then moved the Ten Thousand Spirit Soil and Xiao Xing into the space.

After Xiao Xing entered the space, it could feel the spiritual energy inside was extremely abundant.

It even sensed a stronger, more mysterious aura.

This feeling made Xiao Xing’s mind flash with some vague memories, as if some important memory was triggered.

It murmured, "The scent of the Heavenly Destiny Book and Heavenly Dao?"
