Chapter 570 - 566: Blood Emperor
She did not move, just held her breath, not saying a word, her whole body tense.
His voice was particularly alluring, seductive yet magnetic, "Are you angry?"
"Do you still hold a grudge for what I said on our wedding night?"
She looked up and studied him carefully. Though he was flirting, the disdain and mockery in his eyes seemed especially evident.
He looked down on her, there was no tenderness in his eyes at all.
"Or is it that you fear me, like everyone else, and think I’m a Fierce Beastman?"
She spoke, "No, I’m not afraid."
She had never feared him.
It’s just that he naturally carried a vicious energy, inherently fierce and violent.
Changing that was easier said than done.
"Ha!"
He looked down at her like that, never touching her, seemingly not even a strand of hair, just let out a chuckle.
It seemed like mockery, like disdain, as if he didn’t believe a word she said.
"Don’t think that by saying this, I’ll believe you."
"Don’t think I don’t know your motives, you just want to get me, want me, but I tell you, you can dream on!"
...
For some reason, when this flash of light and shadow appeared in her mind, Su Muyao felt as if it was a deep memory from her own mind.
But this vague memory and the unclear figure all made her feel a chill over her body, and a pain in her chest.
Why was that?
"Host, host, what’s wrong?"
The system kept calling by Su Muyao’s ear.
In a daze, when Su Muyao heard this voice, she snapped back to reality, then that flash of light and shadow immediately dissipated from her mind.
The figure of that man also gradually became more obscure.
That girl, she felt as though it was herself.
As for who that man was?
Looking back at the sculpture, she felt as if it was a Chaos Wild Beastman.
Also called a Fierce Beastman by the beastman legend.
But now, there’s no such thing as a Fierce Beastman in the Beast World, and she had never heard of one.
"System, do you know about Fierce Beastmen?"
The system replied, "I don’t know, host. Why are you asking this?"
"Not to mention there’s no Fierce Beastman now, there hasn’t ever been one even in the ancient Beast World."
"Only fierce beasts, there’s no way there could be Fierce Beastmen."
Listening to the system, Su Muyao explained, "I just have this subtle feeling."
"Just like how Blood Clan Beastmen were once called Evil Beastmen."
She learned this from the Witch Clan Ancient Bamboo Slips translated by Yue Wuhen.
The Blood Clan Beastman was also of the same era as the Ancestor Dragon Clan Beastmen.
"And clans like the Ice Wolf Clan and the Blood Clan all have their primitive descendants, do you think they might have come from somewhere else, different from the survival environment of this continent?"
"Remember the information we learned before, that there’s a passageway from the Endless Sea to somewhere else."
"The Wushan Divine Hall was established precisely to seal this passageway."
Listening to Su Muyao’s analysis, the system roughly understood her point, "Host, are you saying that the so-called Fierce Beastmen and Blood Clan Beastmen might come from elsewhere, so Fierce Beastmen need to break through the void to enter our realm?"
"So he is the embodiment of the Destructive Black Lotus’s will?"
Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I don’t know. Now is not the time to think about this, whatever it is, it’s hard to figure out."
"With these things, let’s leave early."
Su Muyao always felt as though the sculpture’s eyes were on her, causing a pain in her heart; she wanted to leave this place.
"Alright, then let’s find a place to get out of here first."
Su Muyao was also very worried about Wen Nanxi, "Wen Nanxi also fell in here, and I don’t know where he is."
The system said, "As long as you’re close, you’ll sense each other."
After Su Muyao left the passageway, she didn’t know that the stone door behind her had automatically closed.
Looking again at the stone pillars above, she said, "This Spirit Pillar can be used as a cultivation resource for normal beastmen, and the Black Demon Stone is what the Dark Beastman of the Demon Clan needs, so what about the Blood Stone?"
Actually, Su Muyao already had a guess in her heart, but she still needed to ask the system to confirm it.
"It seems like it should be the cultivation crystal stone needed by Blood Clan Beastmen."
"I want to take all of these back."
Once she met Shen Ci’an, she would give the Blood Stone to Shen Ci’an to help him cultivate and enhance his strength.
And the Black Demon Stone could also be given to Xie Guixue, even though Xie Guixue is cold and unfeeling now, she’ll still take the Black Demon Stone out.
Perhaps one day, he would use it.
And Xie Guixue just has a dual personality; she’s still hoping one day he’ll return to his original self.
The normal Spirit Stone should be usable for her beast husbands.
But Su Muyao was also worried that moving these stone pillars would cause this place to shake.
"Then, host, let’s search and see if there are any mineral veins in the other passageways."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, "Indeed, maybe there’s some other treasure as well."
Su Muyao then, following her intuition, walked into another passageway.
Upon entering this passageway, there was no light.
At the end of the passageway was a door with stone art, but it wasn’t beast-shaped, just a red-robed man depicted, with an ambiguous appearance, yet with eerie blood-colored eyes and sharp blood-colored claws.
This must be the true appearance of a Blood Beastman.
Su Muyao also thought of Shen Ci’an’s true form.
For her to fly into the high sky, he deliberately transformed into a flying form.
She also missed Shen Ci’an.
Su Muyao reached out to touch the door, and as soon as she touched it, the Blood Clan mark from the contract with Shen Ci’an on her collarbone suddenly heated up, and then the door seemed to sense something, and just directly opened automatically.
The system said, "How magical."
Su Muyao was stunned, she touched her collarbone with her hand, where the contract mark from Shen Ci’an was now giving off a burning sensation, causing her to feel parched and dizzy.
When the door opened, inside was astonishingly a completely different room, built from blood stones.
Specifically, this was a blood stone mineral vein.
"There are only blood stone mineral veins here, and besides the blood stone mineral veins, there’s only the sound of wind; I don’t know where the wind comes from."
Seeing no danger, Su Muyao mentally manipulated to load the blood stones into her space.
She found no obstruction whatsoever, as these mineral veins were moved into Su Muyao’s space.
Then she also saw on the ground a gorgeous flower seemingly dripping with blood and a peculiar herb.
"These are the Blood-colored Glaze Flower and Nine Yang Blood Ginseng."
Both treasures are extremely beneficial for Blood Clan Beastmen.
Especially the elixir refined from Nine Yang Blood Ginseng, which can make Blood Clan Beastmen strong enough not to fear sunlight even at their peak strength.
This was also known from the content translated from the Witch Clan Ancient Bamboo Slips by Yue Wuhen.
Without hesitation, Su Muyao took these two medicinal herbs into her space.
"Since you are the destined bride of the Blood Emperor of the Blood Clan, these things naturally belong to you, just hope you will be kinder to our Blood Emperor."
Hearing this voice, Su Muyao trembled slightly.
Where did this voice come from? Although it bore no malice, it carried a chilling air.
"You... who are you?"
As the sound of wind arose, a transparent and stunningly beautiful blood-colored figure floated down from the air.
"Hehe, don’t be afraid, as long as you carry the mark of my Blood Emperor, I won’t harm you."
