Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite

Lin Zhuang shook his head and said, "No, it wasn’t intentional. I met Brother Zhuang by chance after his caravan was ambushed and injured, and I happened to pass by and saved him. He is a very good person. He acknowledged me. That was the first time someone trusted and acknowledged me, and I truly considered him a brother."

"Even when I later learned how powerful his tribe’s Illusion Technique was, I never thought of exploiting it."

"However, once when our transported herbs were ambushed, the enemy was somewhat strong, and to save the wounded team and protect the herbs, I had no choice but to use the Dark Power."

"He saw it then, he was very shocked, but he didn’t say anything."

"I was also very panicked at the time, but somehow Xie Yanran found out about this. He learned about the Illusion Technique of that tribe, understood their ability."

"Xie Yanran wanted to use Brother Zhuang’s ability to do things, but Brother Zhuang refused, so Xie Yanran ordered me to kill him. After that, Xie Yanran let me stay here and made me the tribal leader."

"Zhuang Beiyuan, the most talented in the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe, Xie Yanran wanted to marry him to acquire his Illusion Technique..."

What happened after that, Su Muyao also knew.

Su Muyao interrogated further about many things, and after confirming there was nothing more to ask, she wanted to kill Lin Zhuang.

Such people cannot be kept alive.

Wen Nanxi stopped Su Muyao and said, "Let me do it."

He thought people like Lin Zhuang should not sully Ayao’s hands.

Zhuang Beiyuan spoke respectfully, "Crown Princess, Mr. Wen, please let me do it, let me personally avenge my father."

Su Muyao nodded.

Zhuang Beiyuan personally killed Lin Zhuang.

After Lin Zhuang and his subordinates were dealt with, Lin Zhuang handled the tribe’s matters.

Lin Zhuang resolved the tribe’s traitors, taking over the tribe again and establishing new rules and order.

As for that night when Lin Zhuang wanted to question his great-uncle, it turned out his great-uncle had long betrayed them and sided with Lin Zhuang.

Fortunately, these traitors were all dealt with.

Zhuang Beiyuan took several days to manage the tribe’s affairs and asked the surviving elders, who were persecuted by Lin Zhuang with severe injuries and abolished cultivation, to help manage the tribe temporarily. Su Muyao healed them with the Wood Element Ability, enabling them to continue serving the tribe.

When Zhuang Beiyuan, as the leader, held a meeting in the tribe, he stated that he and his son were saved by the Crown Princess, henceforth the tribe would pledge allegiance to the Crown Princess, which is Su Muyao.

Everyone had no objections and even strongly supported Su Muyao.

Because Su Muyao indeed saved the tribe, saving many people.

Had they not come, who knows what would have happened to the entire tribe?

As Lin Zhuang had already caused the death of many tribesmen.

...

After the tribe’s issues were temporarily resolved, Lin Zhuang took Xie Xiaoqi and Su Muyao, Wen Nanxi to the place he mentioned before.

The deeper they went into the dense forest, the thicker the fog became.

Su Muyao felt lost in the fog, unable to discern direction, and couldn’t hear any sound.

Luckily, Zhuang Beiyuan used his Illusion Technique to guide them at the front.

Zhuang Beiyuan explained, "Without using Illusion Technique, one would get lost here."

"I came here when I was young, always wandering in circles within, later using Illusion Technique to find a way out."

Zhuang Beiyuan carried Xie Xiaoqi, and Wen Nanxi also held Su Muyao’s hand tightly, following Zhuang Beiyuan’s steps.

He could sense that the fog here wasn’t normal, it seemed to emit a faint herbal scent, very subtle, but with Wen Nanxi’s current strength, he could smell it.

Zhuang Beiyuan’s Illusion Technique ability could shield the dense fog, revealing a clear path.

Su Muyao noticed many herbs by the roadside.

If picked and taken out, these herbs could cause a stir.

The further they traveled in, the more she felt the chill, and the temperature kept dropping inside.

However, Su Muyao’s heart was beating faster, for some unidentified reason, she sensed a summoning power.

Coming from deep underground.

The system detected the problem and said, "Host, I think there’s something wrong here. It doesn’t seem like a normal place. The fog and plants here make it feel like an Illusion Realm."

"No wonder Zhuang Beiyuan could bring you here. His ability happens to counter such illusions."

"However, I sense there’s probably some treasure here, some natural and earthly treasure."

Now the system could sense some things as well.

Su Muyao said, "If we find the herbs needed for Wen Nanxi’s Body Condensation, that would be good."

The system said, "There might indeed be the treasure mine Xie Yanran is searching for, there could really be Black Demon Stone."

"But if there’s a Black Demon Stone Mine, the Dark Aura would be dense, ordinary people really can’t get close because the Black Demon Stone usually emits an intense Dark Aura that easily invades and affects the minds of normal Beastmen."

Su Muyao asked, "Why can’t I sense the Dark Aura?"

The system replied, "That’s because something is suppressing the Dark Aura of the Black Demon Stone, achieving a state of balance."

Su Muyao communicated with the system, and soon, they stopped at a certain place where Su Muyao saw a large tree ahead.

Su Muyao asked, "What’s wrong?"

Zhuang Beiyuan said, "I can see that strange power is emanating from under this tree. This tree can open a passage, but I don’t know how to open it."

Su Muyao looked at the tree, and for some unknown reason, a voice in her mind seemed to be constantly summoning her forward.

Inexplicably, Su Muyao extended her hand to touch the tree.

"Be careful!"

Zhuang Beiyuan just saw, through the eyes of his ability, the tree branch extend and touch Su Muyao.

The branch moved silently, and by the time Zhuang Beiyuan noticed, it was already too late.

In the thick trunk of the tree, a vortex suddenly appeared and swallowed Su Muyao inside.

"Ayao!"

Wen Nanxi, holding Su Muyao’s hand tightly, was also pulled in.

Zhuang Beiyuan tried to grab them, but the tree’s devouring force was too strong and fast.

Moreover, the ground beside the tree suddenly collapsed, causing Zhuang Beiyuan to fall in with Xie Xiaoqi on his back.

Zhuang Beiyuan’s attention was entirely on rescuing Wen Nanxi and Su Muyao, so he didn’t notice the change in the ground beneath him.

The moment he fell in, the collapsed ground instantly returned to its original state.

When Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi were swallowed by the vortex, it was like falling into a black hole vortex, with a feeling of being swept into a void, caught in a whirl of air.

Su Muyao immediately unleashed her entire superpower to protect her abdomen.

And at the moment of falling, some invisible force instantly separated her from Wen Nanxi.

After an unknown amount of time, when Su Muyao finally hit the bottom, there was only a slight bump.

She didn’t feel any pain, as if she landed on something soft and cushioning.

Su Muyao found it very strange, as if some force gently supported her.

"Host, how are you?"

The system was very worried about Su Muyao.

Su Muyao had a severe headache, almost drifting off to sleep, but hearing the system’s voice, she held her head and slowly opened her eyes, then immediately saw the stalactite-like pillars above her.

These pillars were enormous.

There was a glow within, allowing her to see the color of the pillars.

Some were black, some were blue, and others were crimson, like blood.

She could even feel the intense energy aura on them.
