Chapter 281 Why Cry?

Su Xiyue followed the others back to the mine, remaining silent the entire way.

Ye Ling's silver eyes swept over her pale face, a hint of heartache flashing in them. He gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear and said softly, "Are you still thinking about that mad dragon?"

She looked up at him, forcing a smile: "No."

"lie."

Qingzhu walked over and spoke coolly, her emerald green eyes fixed on her, "You even sway when you walk."

Su Xiyue pursed her lips and didn't argue further.

Bai Qi chuckled, his ten tails swaying gently, and said slowly, "Since Yue'er couldn't bear to part with him, she should have just killed him earlier to avoid future trouble."

That's truly what I thought. Killing him would end it all, saving Xuan Yuanming from future troubles and also preventing Yue'er from worrying about it...

"Bai Qi!"

Mo Lin warned coldly.

Bai Qi smiled faintly, knowing that Yue'er was reluctant to part with him, and said no more.

With such a commotion, almost everyone in the wolf tribe who came to mine at Qingyan Mountain knew about it.

When the group returned to the mine, everyone's eyes were drawn to her, with strange expressions.

But he didn't show any resistance or treat her like a monster.

Compared to the Su Xiyue of the past, who was hated by everyone, this one is clearly more likable and knows more.

Although it brought disaster to the wolf tribe, it also made the wolf tribe better and better.

Life is so much better than before, and there's so much more food available.

They will soon be able to live in houses they never dared to dream of before.

They are also about to create powerful and sharp weapons.

They genuinely like the Su Xiyue she is now and wholeheartedly accept her, regardless of who she was or where she came from.

In short, she is Su Xiyue, and Su Xiyue is her.

However, if the clan leader knew the truth, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

Anyone who finds out that their own daughter has been possessed by a wandering ghost would probably find it unacceptable, even if the daughter is despicable and repulsive to animals.

What everyone else could think of, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and others could naturally think of as well.

Ye Ling's silver eyes swept coldly over all the orcs in the mine, her voice laced with chill: "Who dares to utter a single word about what happened today—"

The ice crystals that formed at his fingertips instantly pierced through the nearby boulder and exploded with a deafening roar.

Xuanfeng and Jinyu exchanged a glance, then immediately knelt on one knee, placed their right hand on their left chest, and said:
"I, Xuanfeng, swear in the name of the Beast God that I will never reveal the slightest secret, or I will be reduced to an ordinary wild beast and torn apart by all beasts."

"I, Jin Yu, swear in the name of the Beast God that I will never reveal a single word, or my soul will be scattered."

Upon seeing this, the other orcs all knelt down and swore an oath.

Su Xiyue felt a mix of emotions as she watched this scene.

She wasn't burned at the stake as an outcast or a monster. Instead of being rejected or disgusted, people genuinely accepted her and made solemn vows.

I feel that everything I've done in the past was worthwhile.

Her throat felt like it was stuffed with a wad of waterlogged cotton; it was sour and astringent, and she couldn't utter a single word, only choking back sobs.

She suddenly turned and ran deeper into the mine, her animal-hide boots making a clattering sound as they pounded over the gravel.

"Yue'er!"

"Little Moon".

"Little Moon~"

Ye Ling, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and the others were worried and wanted to chase after them.

But Mo Lin raised his hand to stop the crowd from chasing after them, his dark eyes unfathomable: "Let her have a good cry."

Bai Qi looked toward the mine, his expression complicated, and sighed softly, "It's better to cry it out than to keep it inside."

Deep inside the mine, Su Xiyue huddled in a corner against the stone wall, oblivious to the fact that her animal skin skirt was covered in slag.

She bit her hand hard, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

So this is what it feels like to be hated and loathed by someone you love; it's more painful than having your heart ripped out.

Suddenly, the fragrance of bamboo wafted from outside the cave. Green bamboo leaned against the shadow of the rock wall, its fingertips plucking at a withered leaf, which then turned to dust.

Hearing the suppressed sobs from inside the cave, his heart ached with each beat. His emerald eyes darkened, and he finally stepped inside.

Su Xiyue hurriedly wiped her face, but when she looked up, she was met with a cool, refreshing green.

Qingzhu looked down at her, then suddenly knelt down, her cool fingertips gently wiping away the tears on her face: "Why are you crying?"

"I"

"She cried so ugly."

He spoke words of utter disdain, but his actions were unusually gentle. He took out a clean animal skin cloth and gently wiped away the tears on her face. "That mad dragon isn't worth it."

Su Xiyue stared blankly as he wiped away her tears, forgetting even to cry, and instead inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Qingzhu was as sharp-tongued as ever, saying things that sounded like she was complaining even when she was trying to comfort someone.

She lowered her eyes, and finally couldn't help but ask, "You knew all along that I wasn't the original owner of this body?"

Qingzhu froze instantly. A deep voice came from outside the cave: "Does Yue'er really think we can't even detect that the person next to us has had their soul swapped?"

She looked up towards the mine entrance.

Ye Ling's tall figure came against the light, her silver eyes surging with an undercurrent she had never seen before. "From the first time you kicked me off the stone bed, almost causing me to lose my ability to have children, I began to have doubts."

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment. Was this the first time she had kicked Ye Ling off the stone bed?

That's because when I first transmigrated, the original owner gave Ye Ling a love potion.

Because of the potent effects of the love potion, even though Ye Ling loathed himself, he still couldn't control his urge to have sex.

She had just transmigrated and had no idea what was going on.

She saw the man taunting her while pressing towards her. In a moment of panic, she kicked him away and ran away.

Later, no one knew how Ye Ling managed to break free from the effects of the love potion.

I never expected him to start having doubts so early on.

She just stared at him blankly, her expression one of astonishment.

Ye Ling took in her astonished expression, a hint of a smile flashing in her silver eyes. "The original Su Xiyue only knew how to please me. She couldn't wait to get close to me and mate with me. She was the one who administered the drug, so why would she suddenly kick me away? Coupled with the change in your eyes and the things you said, I became suspicious."

Su Xiyue looked up at him, gazing into his smiling eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Since you already knew, why?"

Why don't I expose you?

Mo Lin appeared behind her without her noticing. "You've heard how despicable the original Su Xiyue was. We were forced to become her partners out of gratitude to the leader, but we were filled with resistance and disgust in our hearts. As for whether the body and soul have been replaced, we don't care at all. We have always loved you."

Xuanming suddenly burst in from the cave entrance, his wild and flamboyant face full of disgust: "That filthy female can go half a year without bathing, her body is covered in black mud and fleas, and the place she lives in is also stinking. She will grab food whenever she sees it and never knows what politeness is. No wonder we would like a female like that. Only a blind man like Xuanyuanming would like her."

Bai Qi walked in with a smile, glanced at Xuan Ming indifferently, and said, "Xuan Yuanming only loves the little female who saved him when he was a child. If he had seen and met Su Xiyue after she grew up, he might not like her."

Fantasy is always wonderful, but reality is not always like that.

Su Xiyue seemed to be comforted by them, and her mood improved considerably.

She thought of Su Lie.

Since Ye Ling and the others were able to notice, did Su Lie also notice it a long time ago?
Thinking of this, she felt a little flustered and asked, "Then what about my father...?"

"The leader doesn't know."

Qingzhu knew what she wanted to ask, and said firmly, "No one would believe that their daughter was possessed by a wandering spirit. The leader would only believe that his daughter was guided by the Beast God, which is why she is getting better and better. If he really had any doubts, he would have already taken action against you."

Su Xiyue was slightly taken aback, and upon thinking about it, it was indeed true.

If Su Lie knew he wasn't the original owner of this body, he definitely wouldn't be so calm.

Ye Ling suddenly knelt on one knee, staring intently at her with her silver eyes: "No matter who you are or where you come from, the only partner I, Ye Ling, have chosen is this female who kicks me, scolds me, and leads the tribe to a better life."

A dashing voice came from outside the cave: "Oh dear, how could I miss such a touching scene?"

A figure in a fiery red feathered robe swept in.

He lightly lifted Su Xiyue's chin with his fingertip, "Little Yue'er, I even gave you my natal feather, you don't think I gave it to that ugly monster from before, do you?"

Looking at the sincere and affectionate faces before her, Su Xiyue felt as if her heart was filled with honey, and she was very happy.

She never imagined that the secret she had carefully hidden had already been seen through by them.

What was even more unexpected was that they could accept this absurd truth so readily.

"you."

Her voice was hoarse, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "Aren't you afraid I'm some kind of evil spirit possessing your body?"

Mo Lin suddenly pulled her into his arms, his deep voice filled with an unprecedented intensity of emotion: "Even if you are an evil spirit, I will accept it."

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment, not expecting Mo Lin to say that.

Just about to speak.

A series of system notifications suddenly rang in my mind:
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Mo Lin's favorability has increased by 10. Currently, the favorability has reached 100, the maximum value, reaching the level of 'unwavering until death'. The host is rewarded with the ultimate gift package."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Feng Su's favorability has increased by 5, currently at 90, entering the deep love stage. The host is rewarded with [Blessing of the Beast God], which permanently increases the host's luck by 30%, and [Heart of All Beasts], which permanently increases the host's favorability by 50% unconditionally. [Complete Guide to Agriculture, Cultivation and Irrigation] 1 copy. The rewards have been sent to the system inventory. Please check it automatically later."

"Ding! The ultimate reward package is now being distributed."

Su Xiyue was buzzing from the series of system voices in her mind.

Completely unexpectedly, Mo Lin's favorability rating, which had remained unchanged, suddenly skyrocketed from 90 to the maximum value.

Along with this, Feng Su's favorability rating also reached 90, indicating she was deeply in love.

Suddenly, three radiant treasure chests appeared before them.

I just picked one randomly, it's all down to luck anyway.

The treasure chest exploded, sending fireworks flying everywhere.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Time Reversal Mirror], which allows you to view the past and future. It requires spiritual power to use. The reward has been sent to your system inventory. Please check it automatically later."

Su Xiyue was overjoyed. A Time Reversal Mirror? It could see the past and the future?
This sounds incredibly impressive; it truly lives up to its reputation as a super gift package with generous rewards.

Unfortunately, it's not convenient to check the rewards right now.

As the shimmering treasure chest before them vanished.

Feng Su's smiling voice rang in her ears: "Why is Little Yue'er spacing out again? Are you so moved by us that you've gone mad?"

Su Xiyue came to her senses and looked at the six beastmen surrounding her, their expressions full of worry. She felt a warmth in her heart.
