Chapter 291 Untying
Since building animal pens must be useful, Yingyue repeated the price quoted by Su Xiyue in detail.

"Twenty ferret pelts for a cartload?"

Xuan Yuanhao raised an eyebrow, a mocking glint in his eyes, "Let's trade using beast crystals."

He flicked his finger and tossed out a purple crystal the size of a pigeon egg, saying, "Based on this quality, one is worth five cartloads."

"Yes, patriarch."

Yingyue took the purple crystal, the size of a pigeon egg, and looked at the halo flowing on its surface. "Chieftain, the Wolf Tribe has some rather novel items."

"No need to say more."

Xuan Yuanhao raised his hand to interrupt, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. "Even if a mere lower-level tribe manages to concoct some novelties, it's not worth the Dragon Clan's trouble."

Seeing the clan leader's attitude, Yingyue said no more and withdrew, holding the pigeon-egg-sized purple crystal.

Night Owl and Remnant Star followed closely behind and retreated.

As the three guards left the Dragon Abyss Palace, they unsurprisingly spotted Xuan Yuanming leaning against a pillar in the outer corridor.

The three of them, Yingyue and the others, were all stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that Shaojun would be eavesdropping.

"Greetings, Young Master."

Shadow Moon, Night Owl, and Remnant Star bowed respectfully at the same time.

Xuanyuan Ming raised his hand to signal them to dispense with formalities, his dark golden eyes fixed on the purple crystal in Yingyue's hand: "So, Father is planning to exchange the beast crystals for those blue bricks?"

Yingyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the clan leader said that one beast crystal can be exchanged for five cartloads of green bricks."

Xuanyuan Ming sneered, his long, dark hair fluttering in the wind.

He withdrew his gaze from the purple crystal, frowned, and asked, "What you just said, was it all true?"

Remnant Star was about to speak subconsciously.

Stopped by Yingyue, he put the crystal into his pocket and said respectfully, "If Young Master asks about Su Xiyue, the truth we have found is indeed as it is."

Xuanyuan Ming's sneer deepened, his fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.

No wonder he had such complicated feelings for that female from the lower realm.

There is love, hate, and resentment.

He suddenly ripped open the animal skin coat on his chest, revealing the small Candle Dragon mark on his chest, which was also the mark of his and Su Xiyue's partnership.

I didn't know the truth before, so I kept this partner mark, but now it's really unnecessary.

"Young Master?"

Night Owl sensed something was wrong and instinctively spoke up.

"Since it's a fake..."

Xuanyuan Ming condensed a golden light at his fingertips and pierced the mark on his chest. "There's no need to keep this partner mark."

Shadow Moon, Night Owl, and Remnant Star exchanged bewildered glances, not expecting Young Lord to be so decisive.

The more passionately you loved before, the cleaner and more decisively you'll break up now.

It can be said that love and hate are just a matter of a single thought.

However, the three of them also felt that Su Xiyue deserved it.

It's one thing to take over someone else's body, but she even tried to deceive the young lord's feelings and covet love that didn't belong to her. The fact that the young lord didn't kill her directly is too lenient on her.

Although it was Shaojun who took the initiative to pester her, Su Xiyue should have explained the truth when the two met earlier.

This indicates that she is not the little female who saved the young master when they were children, and it is likely that the young master will not bother her or do anything to her.

Although Shaojun is insane, he is not a person who indiscriminately kills innocent people or is unreasonable.

To use someone else's body as a cover and then deceive them about their love is going too far.

Such a woman is not worthy of the young lord at all.

However, the novel gadgets they came up with were quite good.

The backlash from forcibly removing the partner's mark comes very quickly.

Xuanyuan Ming grunted, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His aura instantly weakened, and his strength plummeted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank.

"Ming'er!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Xuan Yuanhao rushed out of the main hall. His expression changed drastically upon seeing the scene. "Are you crazy? Forcibly removing the mark will damage your foundation!"

Xuan Yuanming raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression indifferent: "He's just a liar, why would he keep this mark?"

As he said this, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest, as if something important had been forcibly ripped away.

But this feeling was fleeting, so quick that he thought it was an illusion.

Looking at his son's pale face, Xuan Yuanhao's eyes flashed with heartache: "Someone, take the young master to the Sacred Pool to heal his injuries!"

"No need."

Xuanyuan Ming pushed away the attendant who came forward to help him, "I'll go myself."

As he turned around, his dark gold beast robe fluttered in the wind, and his back was as straight as a pine tree, showing no sign of the backlash he had just suffered.

As Xuan Yuanhao watched his son's departing figure, tears suddenly streamed down his face: "He's finally, finally come to his senses."

The three of them, Yingyue and Yingyue, looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.

"Pass the order."

Xuan Yuanhao quickly composed himself, his voice regaining its majesty, "The Dragon Clan will hold a grand banquet in three days, inviting noble ladies from all clans to attend. Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Bai Ze Clan, Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Tengshe Clan, White Tiger Clan, Kunpeng Clan—not one can be absent!"

"Yes!"

Yingyue bowed in agreement.

Xuan Yuanhao added, "Take out that ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng from the storeroom and send it to the Sacred Pool to heal Ming'er's injuries."

Night Owl asked cautiously, "Chieftain, what about the lower realms?"

"Stay as planned."

Xuan Yuanhao's eyes turned cold. "Send the Xuanjia Guards to teach those arrogant brats a lesson. Remember, don't let anyone die."

"My subordinate understands."

The Dragon Clan's Sacred Pool is filled with a misty, spiritual aura that permeates the entire cave.

Xuanyuan Ming was immersed in the milky white pool water, and the wound on his chest was slowly healing.

He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. The memories that had been cut from his mind seemed to be reviving, with fragmented images flashing through his mind—

A pair of smiling eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

Soft lips, with a sweet fruity scent.

And then there was that tearful cry of "Xuanyuan Ming".
The fragmented images were unfamiliar, and he couldn't make out the other person's face, only vaguely recognizing that it was female. He suddenly opened his eyes. "What's going on? Who are those fragmented images of people?"

I tried several times to recall, but I couldn't see it clearly at all; in fact, the more I thought about it, the more blurred it became.

Xuanyuan Ming slapped the water in frustration, splashing water that dampened the luminous pearl on the stone wall.

He stared at his slowly healing chest, where the mark of his partner was no longer visible.

But the inexplicable emptiness grew stronger, accompanied by a piercing pain.

The pain came on inexplicably, and he himself did not understand why.

As the pool water rippled, a servant respectfully approached, carrying a jade box: "Young Master, the clan leader has sent over a ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng."

Xuanyuan Ming didn't even look at it: "Just leave it there."

The servant dared not say anything more, put down the jade box, and left.

Xuanyuan Ming closed his eyes again, forcing himself to calm down.

Now that the partner mark has been removed, the female named Su Xiyue has nothing to do with him anymore.

Once he recovers from his injuries and a suitable wife is chosen, everything will return to normal.

After more than a decade of madness, it's time to wake up.

……

Meanwhile, on the open ground west of the Lower Domain Wolf Tribe, newly built cattle sheds and sheep pens were neatly arranged.

Xuanming was directing several orcs to drive the wild buffalo they had just captured into the shed, sweat dripping down his bronze chest.

"Wait! This cow is pregnant!"

Xuanming grabbed the rope, stopping the young orc's violent actions.

What if the cow goes into premature labor?
Mu Han silently carried a bundle of hay over, his golden eyes sweeping over the restless herd of cattle: "Tie up their hind legs, and they'll behave."

The sounds of grunting came from the pigsty not far away.

Qingzhu is using a hammer to hammer wooden stakes to reinforce the fence.

Hearing the commotion, she turned her head and looked over, a hint of surprise flashing in her emerald eyes: "You actually caught a pregnant cow?"

"Little Moon said she wants to produce milk."

Xuanming immediately looked at Qingzhu, "If we don't catch pregnant cows, how will they produce milk? Once they give birth, the tribe will have fresh milk to drink."

Little Moon explained to them that milk is the most nutritious food and is especially suitable for babies.

Su Xiyue walked over carrying two woven chicken coops and saw Mu Han holding down the struggling cow with one hand.

Sunlight fell on his taut muscles, outlining smooth lines.

"They've all been brought back?"

She placed the chicken coop beside the fence, and with a burst of supernatural power at her fingertips, several vines immediately wrapped around the coop door.

We're going to put the chicken coop here.

Mu Han looked up at her, his golden eyes reflecting the morning light, a smile that was hard to detect: "As you said, three cows, five ewes, and two sows with piglets."

He pointed to the lakeside, "The wild ducks are penned over there in the reeds, and the clucks have their wings tied up."

Although he knew that "gugu ji" was just a wild chicken, he still habitually called it "gugu ji".

Yunxiang and Suqing each brought over two chicken coops, knowing that this was to provide a home for the clucking chickens.

The gugu chicken can lay eggs, so the tribe will have eggs to eat in the future, and they will no longer have to search for them in the forest like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

When you're lucky, you might find a few eggs to eat; when you're unlucky, forget about it.

The chicken coops in their hands were made by Su Xiyue, and although they weren't very pretty, they were still quite presentable.

"Xiyue, where should we put this chicken coop?"

Yunxiang shook the chicken coop in her hand, the morning light shining on her very ordinary face, and shouted to Su Xiyue with a smile.

Su Xiyue looked up and replied, "Put them with my two."

I was just about to go over and help.

"Ding! Detected that Xuanyuan Ming forcibly removed the partner mark."

A system voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Does the host wish to unbind Xuanyuan Ming as the sixth beast husband?"

Su Xiyue staggered backward, her face suddenly turning pale.

Qingzhu noticed that something was wrong with her, and quickly came over to support her. Seeing that her face was pale and unwell, she felt a pang of heartache.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

He touched her forehead and felt that the temperature was normal and there was nothing wrong with it, so why did her face suddenly look so bad?

Su Xiyue had no interest in paying attention to Qingzhu, and sneered inwardly, "Untie her? Why keep this lunatic around for the New Year?"

"Ding! Unbinding successful. Xuanyuan Ming and the host will have no further relationship from now on."

The system's voice rang in her mind again, seemingly sensing the host's low spirits and comforting her: "Host, there are plenty of handsome men in the beast world, there's no need to take it too hard. Your current six beast husbands are quite good. If you feel it's not enough, you can continue to add more if you see someone you like. Mu Han is quite good, and he likes you a lot, and his favorability rating is also very high."

Her lips twitched. "Forget about Mu Han. The Guardian role is fine."

Although she sometimes enjoyed flirting with Mu Han, she never considered taking him as her boyfriend.

It wasn't that she hated or disliked it, but Chu Youyou felt uneasy after using it.

Even after physical reconstruction, I still feel unclean.

"If you don't want to accept it, then don't. It seems that Mu Han's love life is destined to be bumpy."

The system chuckled mischievously in her mind: "Host, we've detected a rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure. We recommend taking 'Forgetfulness Potion.' You'll immediately receive the Forgetfulness Potion as a reward once you've won over Mu Han!"

"roll!"

Su Xiyue almost laughed out of anger, seriously suspecting that the dog system was a pimp. "Do you think this is a romance novel? I admit I have feelings for Xuan Yuanming, but I haven't reached the point of drinking the potion of forgetfulness."

Looking up, they met Qingzhu's concerned gaze. Xuanming and Muhan stopped working and looked at her with worried expressions.

Yunxiang and Suqing, having finished setting up the chicken coop, also came over, and they could clearly see that something was wrong with her expression.

Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, she felt a warmth in her heart and forced a smile: "It's nothing, it's probably just from the sun."

Qingzhu frowned and touched her cold wrist: "Where did this scorching sun come from this morning?"

Xuanming snatched Su Xiyue from Qingzhu's hands and suddenly picked her up horizontally.

"Little Moon, don't push yourself. I'll take you to see a witch doctor."

After saying that, he ignored her struggles, grabbed her, and ran away.
