Chapter 574 - 570: Longing
Su Muyao looked in the direction of the voice.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept from the depths.
This wind carried a fierce aura, sweeping around the Spirit Plant.
A gust quickly severed all the vines entangled around her.
The wind surged forward, transforming into swirling Wind Blades, slicing the attacking Spirit Plant leaves to pieces, forcing them to retreat underground.
No longer surrounded by attacking Spirit Plants, Su Muyao looked up to see Wen Nanxi walking towards her.
His figure was tall and straight as a pine, with ink-black hair flowing in the breeze, while Wind Ability whirled around, clearing a path.
He did not make a move, only surrounded by Wind Ability, seemingly able to restrain these Spirit Plants.
Those ferocious Spirit Plants, under the influence of his Wind Ability, curled their branches and leaves in fear, as if meeting their natural enemy.
"Nanxi!"
Su Muyao quickly ran forward.
When Wen Nanxi saw Su Muyao, the harshness in his eyes instantly softened.
He opened his arms to catch Su Muyao, feeling her warmth, and his heart settled, "It’s me, are you hurt?"
"I’m fine, what about you?"
"I’m fine too, let’s leave here first."
Su Muyao nodded, and she and Wen Nanxi returned through the stone gate, closing the Star Constellation Mechanism, sealing the door again.
Su Muyao briefly explained to Wen Nanxi what had happened after entering.
"The most crucial thing is that I found Chaos Soil and Soul Crystal Stone."
"Perhaps we can soon gather Yue Wuhen’s soul, allowing him to come back to life."
"What about you, did anything happen?"
Wen Nanxi showed the Space Ring to Su Muyao.
Su Muyao was amazed upon seeing it, "So many medicinal herbs?"
"Earth Store Spring, Snake Spirit Flower, my goodness, so many herbs! Only one Nine Netherworld Lotus is needed to refine the Seven-orifice Body Condensing Pill for you, enabling you to fully merge your other avatars."
The Nine Netherworld Lotus might be in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.
But once gathered, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.
Their specific trip with Zhuang Beiyuan was also in hopes of finding the necessary herbs for the Solidification Pill.
Unexpectedly, they found them.
Not only these herbs, but many rare ones recorded only in the Alchemy Book given by Di Fu Yuan, unknown in the Beast World today.
Therefore, Su Muyao couldn’t be more excited.
"This trip wasn’t in vain."
Seeing Su Muyao’s excitement, Wen Nanxi also showed a gentle expression.
"How did you find them?"
"At the center of that Spirit Plant area, guarded by attacking Spirit Plants."
He was swept into the center of the Spirit Plant region.
Luckily, his strength had reached the Spirit Transformation Mirror stage, enabling him to use Secret Technique attacks stored in his Divine Soul Memory, hence he was unharmed.
Su Muyao said, "It’s good you’re safe. I just don’t know how to get out."
Wen Nanxi noticed the Star Constellation Plate, "This should open the passage out, just find the Life Gate."
Listening to Wen Nanxi, Su Muyao seemed to hear a faint voice again.
Her mind suddenly flashed with a light shadow, and her fingers began to turn on the Star Constellation Plate.
"This should be the Life Gate button."
Once Su Muyao pushed it, bright light emitted beneath their feet.
After the light flashed, they were swiftly sent out by a force.
"Ah!"
This force was gentle, not discomforting Su Muyao.
As she landed, the force seemingly placed her steadily on the ground.
"Sister Su, you’re okay, thank goodness."
Xie Xiaoqi and Zhuang Beiyuan had been anxiously searching for them ever since they vanished.
But no matter how many methods they tried, they couldn’t find this place.
After Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi were swept away, the ground collapsed, causing Zhuang Beiyuan and Xie Xiaoqi to fall into a cave. When they managed to climb out, finding Su Muyao seemed impossible.
The tree seemed to be missing.
Now seeing Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi reappear, their expressions relaxed.
Since everyone was unhurt, Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi returned to the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe.
Su Muyao used the herbs Wen Nanxi provided to brew potions.
She made many elixirs, gave some to Zhuang Beiyuan, then prepared to leave with Wen Nanxi.
They couldn’t waste any more time here.
Though Zhuang Beiyuan and Xie Xiaoqi felt reluctant, they understood that they couldn’t keep Su Muyao.
"Don’t worry, Crown Princess, the Phantom Golden Lion Tribe will no longer remain hidden and will contribute to protecting the Dongning Beast Kingdom."
Su Muyao knew Zhuang Beiyuan’s abilities.
Xie Xiaoqi had tears in his eyes, fond of Sister Su, unable to let go.
"Sister Su, will I see you again?"
She patted Xie Xiaoqi’s hair, "Chance will bring us together again."
...
Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi returned to the Moon Clan, using the Moon Clan’s altar to go back to the Cang Beast Continent.
Even though Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi tightly held hands, bodies locked on Magic Artifact, upon landing on the Cang Beast Continent, Su Muyao couldn’t find Wen Nanxi around.
The system said, "Host, Wen Nanxi might have landed elsewhere."
Su Muyao nodded, "Okay, we’ve agreed if we don’t land together, we’ll meet at the Fox Clan."
"But before that, I need to visit the Sea Clan first and give the Soul Crystal Stone and Blood Stone to the High Priest to quickly gather Yue Wuhen’s soul."
She hoped Yue Wuhen could return soon.
She thought she’d cherish Yue Wuhen this time for sure.
The system supported her, "Since you’ve notified Wen Nanxi earlier, he knows you need to stop by the Sea Clan first, plus, with Wen Nanxi’s condition, it’s unsuitable for him to enter the Sea Clan, he promised to wait at Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, so don’t worry."
"With Wen Nanxi’s strength and the Secret Technique recorded in his Divine Soul Memory, self-preservation is no issue."
Su Muyao nodded and prepared to head to the Sea Clan.
She landed in the Xuanbing Snowfield, governed by the Nalan Family’s territory.
She knew Xie Guixue wasn’t here, so she felt no attachment to this place.
Passing the city where the Xiao Family’s main house used to be, she found it gone.
"The Xiao Family’s main house was consumed by a great fire."
"They say the Spider Beastman from the Spider Gang did it, but details remain unknown."
Su Muyao didn’t linger, heading to the seaside to dive into the ocean towards the Sea Clan Palace.
As Su Muyao entered the sea, within a palace hall, Wei Jinmo, closing off to incubate an egg, sensed something and swiftly opened his eyes, glazed blue beauty illuminating brilliantly.
Within them was an intense longing.
His heartbeat quickened.
"Wife!"
He whispered these words, unable to hide the longing in his voice.
His excited emotions caused his shark tail to sway the egg slightly.
