Chapter 359 Teasing
"If he truly wants to atone for his sins, then let him go."

Ye Ling's voice was indifferent. He didn't have much affection for Mu Han. Although he thought the other party was someone important, he was quite muddle-headed.

Being loyal and righteous is not wrong, but you also have to consider whether the person deserves it.

Chu Youyou is clearly not worth it.

As for the plague caused by the killings, although it was Mu Han's fault, given the circumstances at the time, the other party had no other choice.

If Mu Han doesn't retaliate and kill those people, he will die on his own.

The mistake was that they were blinded by rage, couldn't stop themselves, lost their reason, and failed to dispose of the bodies in time.

This led to the outbreak of the plague.

Su Xiyue nodded, her expression tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Everyone has their own choices and destiny. Since Mu Han has chosen this path, let him go.

The two didn't talk much, exchanged a few more words, and then went their separate ways.

Ye Ling went to Su Lie to discuss something.

Su Xiyue returned to her room and looked at the book on sound transmission techniques that emitted a faint golden light on the table.

Just as he was about to reach out and pick it up.

Sudden.

"Whoosh-"

A sound breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a small pebble flew in through the window and landed steadily on the table.

She paused for a moment, picked up the pebble and looked at it, discovering that a palm-sized piece of animal hide was tied to it.

She unfolded it with a puzzled look, and there was a line of crooked words written in charcoal: "Back mountain woods, come quickly, urgent matter."

The handwriting was hurried, clearly indicating that it was written in a great hurry.

"The woods behind the mountain?"

Su Xiyue raised an eyebrow slightly. Who would deliver a message to her?

Could they be orcs from the tribe?
But if the orcs in the tribe needed something, they could just go to her directly. Why would they invite her to the woods behind the mountain for no reason?
Although she had doubts, she still decided to go and take a look.

I want to see who it is.

She casually tossed the stone aside, and as for the animal skin with writing on it, she tossed it into her spatial storage.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered the book on sound transmission techniques on the table that was emitting a faint golden light, and his hand just touched it.

It transformed into streaks of golden light that shot into her mind.

She felt a cool sensation before her eyes, and a profound incantation appeared in her mind.

I instantly understood how to use it.

You can communicate telepathically simply by silently reciting the other person's name in your heart, without any hindrance.

A thought struck her, and she silently uttered Ye Ling's name.

"Night Feather".

At the same time, Ye Ling, who had just arrived at the entrance of Su Lie's courtyard, froze in his tracks. He looked around blankly, his eyes full of confusion.

Why did he hear Yue'er calling him?

He looked left and right, but couldn't see Yue'er anywhere.

But I clearly heard it.

The voice seemed to be right next to his ear, yet also seemed to be in his mind.

Ye Ling had no idea what telepathy was, mainly because such things didn't exist in the Beast World, and she had no concept of it.

"Strange, am I hallucinating?"

He frowned, raised his hand to rub his ear, and then stepped into the courtyard.

Su Xiyue didn't care that Ye Ling didn't respond. Ye Ling didn't know how to use telepathy, so of course he couldn't respond to her.

She couldn't help but ask the system, "System, can Ye Ling hear me?"

"Of course I heard it, but since I didn't see you, I thought I had encountered a ghost or was hallucinating."

The system's voice quickly appeared in her mind, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Su Xiyue's lips twitched. What do you mean by encountering a ghost and having hallucinations?

Her eyes darted around, and she tried to communicate with Mo Lin telepathically, "Mo Mo, what are you doing?"

Mo Lin, who was training his cubs in the tribal square, suddenly froze, a rare look of astonishment appearing on his usually stern face.

He looked around instantly, even glancing up at the treetops in the distance, but he couldn't find Su Xiyue anywhere.

But that sound just now
It's clearly the moon!

Why can we only hear their voices but not see them?
Su Xiyue hid at the entrance of the courtyard, watching Mo Lin's bewildered expression in the distance, and found it amusing.

Then, it sent a telepathic message to the bamboo not far away, "Little bamboo, there's a leaf on your head."

Qingzhu was talking to Feng Su when she heard this and subconsciously touched the top of her head, only to find that there were no leaves at all. Her emerald green eyes were full of doubt.

"what happened?"

Feng Su raised an eyebrow at him.

"nothing."

Qingzhu shook her head slightly, but her eyes couldn't help but scan the surroundings, and she couldn't see Yue'er at all.

A look of doubt appeared in his emerald eyes.

He frowned and muttered to himself: Strange, that voice was right next to my ear, but I didn't see anyone.

Su Xiyue, in a playful mood, continued to send a telepathic message to Feng Su, "You show-off, there's bird poop on the back of your feather robe, it stinks! Go wash it off right now!"

Feng Su's expression changed instantly. She turned around with a "whoosh," frantically trying to pull at the feathered robe behind her. "Where? Where is the bird poop? Which damned bird dared to poop on my clan leader?"

Finding nothing there, he instantly realized he had been tricked by Xiaoyue'er.

I was just about to go and settle accounts with that girl.

He found no one around. He froze instantly, his eyes showing the same bewildered look as Qingzhu's.

Qingzhu and Fengsu looked at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

Did you hear Yue'er's voice just now?

They both spoke at the same time.

After saying that, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

Clearly, they all heard Su Xiyue's voice, but they could only hear her voice and not see her.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Su Xiyue secretly watched and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her playful mood was aroused, and she continued to send a telepathic message to Xuan Yuanming, who was washing his hands by the lake, "Xuan Yuanming, there are snakes in the water. Be careful they don't bite you."

Xuanyuan Ming immediately withdrew his hand. It wasn't that he was afraid of snakes, but being bitten would be troublesome.

His dark golden eyes were fixed on the clear lake water in front of him, and he found that there was no snake at all.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked around, his voice dangerous, "Moon, where are you?"

She wasn't foolish enough to show up at this time, and she stopped teasing them and turned to go to the back mountain.

Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something and asked the system in his mind, "System, who invited me to the back mountain?"

Knowing who it is beforehand gives you peace of mind.

"It's Mu Han."

The system didn't hide anything and told her the truth.

Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that the person who asked her to meet at the back mountain would be Mu Han. Why was he looking for her at this time?
Despite some doubts, I didn't stop and continued on to the back of the mountain.

The woods behind the mountain are not far from the village; it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

She stood at the entrance to the woods, her gaze sweeping over the lush trees and the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, her expression somewhat complicated.

I was just about to check where Mu Han was.

Then a deep, husky voice came from ahead, "You've come."

Immediately afterwards, a tall and slender figure emerged from behind the trees.

The newcomer was wrapped in a black animal skin cloak that covered almost his entire body, and his head was covered by a hood and his face was also covered.

Upon seeing her appear, he instantly pulled off his hood and the covering on his face, revealing a handsome and resolute face with smooth lines. His eyes were as deep as pools, as if they held a thousand unspoken words. He stared intently at her with inexplicable emotions.

Who else could it be but Mu Han?
After not seeing each other for a while, the other person had lost a lot of weight, become much darker, had several more scars on their body, and looked more weathered.

Su Xiyue's gaze instinctively fell on the top of his head, and she was instantly stunned.

Mu Han's luck was as black as ink; this was the worst kind of luck.

Most people in the tribe are dressed in white, and even the few unlucky ones are only dressed in gray.

It was so black and thick, like ink, that it was the first time I'd ever seen anything like it.

Her expression was complicated. She was clearly one of the original male leads, but her life was more bitter than bitter herbs.

Such a fate is destined to be full of hardships, and one may die a violent death at any time.

Su Xiyue didn't know that Mu Han's destiny wasn't originally like this; otherwise, he wouldn't have been one of the original male leads and wouldn't have evolved into the divine beast, the White Tiger.

His original fortune was light purple, almost the same as that of green bamboo.

However, due to the karma created by Chu Youyou, the endless killing, and the innocent lives lost in the plague, her fortune turned dark.

She felt uneasy, but showed no sign of it on her face. She simply asked softly, "What did you want to see me about?"

Mu Han swallowed hard and pulled out a leather bundle from his robes. “I heard that Xuanming has given birth to two cubs. This is a sacred fruit that I obtained by chance. It can improve the aptitude of the cubs and strengthen their bones. Give it to Xuanming’s two cubs.”

He untied the animal skin with his scarred hands, revealing two crystal-clear purple fruits.

The surface of the fruit shimmers with a strange, iridescent halo, radiating brilliance.

Her expression was complicated. Wasn't this the legendary Purple Crystal Sacred Fruit? It seemed to only appear in the Thousand Soul Stone Forest.

The Thousand Soul Stone Forest is also one of the ten most terrifying forbidden areas on the Beast World Continent, and few beastmen dare to set foot there.

Did Mu Han accidentally wander into that place, or did he deliberately pick these fruits?

But he also knew that the other party was repaying a debt of gratitude, after all, Xuanming had saved his life.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically said that it was to be saved for Xuanming's two cubs to eat.

Her expression was complicated as she reached out and took it, saying, "Okay, I'll save it for Xuanba and Xuanyan to eat."

"Xuanba? Xuanyan?"

Mu Han softly murmured the two names. Although he had never heard of or seen the two children, he knew that they were the names of Xuan Ming's two children.

His gaze fell on Su Xiyue's face, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it all turned into a soft sigh, "Thank Xuanming for me, I owe him a life."

Su Xiyue nodded slightly and carefully put away the two amethyst sacred fruits. "I will tell him."

She wanted to suggest that Mu Han go and thank Xuan Ming directly, but considering Mu Han's current situation, it might not be suitable for him to enter the tribe to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, so she didn't say anything.

Her gaze fell on the top of his head again, looking at the pitch-black aura of fortune, and she sighed inwardly.

This kind of luck is as if the whole world has rejected it, and the slightest carelessness could lead to utter ruin.

She couldn't help but speak, her voice soft and gentle, "Mu Han, life is unpredictable, but it's still long. Do more good deeds and accumulate blessings, and perhaps the road ahead will be smoother."

Mu Han's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He raised his head, and his once spirited eyes were now as still as a deep pool, reflecting the sparse light and shadow in the forest, as well as Su Xiyue's beautiful but aloof face.

She got it.

She must know that the source of this disaster that swept across the entire lower realm was his out-of-control killing spree, that he personally ignited the plague that consumed countless lives.

"Accumulate virtue and do good deeds..."

He repeated it in a low voice, hoarse and dry, like the friction of gravel.

These four words, falling into his ears, were nothing short of the sharpest accusation, yet also seemed to point him to the only path he could take.

That is atonement.
