Chapter 242 Think Twice Before Acting
The moment the words "unknown zone" were mentioned, everyone's expression changed.

No one expected that the Xiao family would be involved with the Unknown Zone.

The Unknown Zone is a very mysterious place in their minds. They had tried to find out about it before, but to no avail.

I never imagined that Madam Xiao had been to the unknown area.

Although Su Muyao had some guesses in her mind, she was still shocked to hear Old Madam Xiao say this.

Even Xiao Jihan looked at his grandmother with a shocked and incredulous expression.

“Grandmother, I have never heard you mention these things before.”

Madam Xiao sighed and said, "Because you were young and weak back then, telling you some things would only add to your troubles."

"Moreover, if your heart is not stable enough when cultivating, you are also prone to going astray in your cultivation of supernatural abilities."

"The timing wasn't right then, so I couldn't tell you."

“I thought I could wait for you to grow up, but I never imagined that during the year you went to the border, someone would be so impatient as to drug me.”

Madam Xiao was wary of no one but Xiao Lao Er, who was Xiao Jihan's nominal second uncle.

She was unconscious when she heard them talking by her bedside and that's when she realized what had happened.

It turns out that the real second son had been switched and killed by those people in the family.

Now, this second son is a pawn planted by her family to protect her.

No wonder they're the kind of people who would do something like this.

Thinking of these things, a cold killing intent welled up in Madam Xiao's eyes.

Xiao Jihan quickly calmed down and asked, "Grandmother, what exactly happened back then? What did they do to you?"

Madam Xiao sneered and said, "Your father was born a pure-blooded ice wolf, with an extremely rare ice spiritual root, which means he has the strongest talent. He can cultivate the family's ice-type techniques and can easily awaken the ice-type supernatural power inherited from his ancestors. However, our family wants to strip him of his ice spiritual root. We even think that after stripping him of his ice spiritual root and making him a cripple, his blood can be used to refine pills."

"When I discovered it, they had already stripped it of half. Your grandfather and I fought to the death and led your father away from our family and also away from the unknown territory."

"However, after this battle, I also suffered severe internal injuries, and my cultivation level dropped. I can no longer easily use my special abilities."

"And they even killed your grandfather."

Madam Xiao spoke these words calmly, but only she knew the bloodthirsty killing intent surging within her heart.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jihan's face drained of color. "No wonder my father was always in poor health, and he died very young..."

As he spoke, Xiao Jihan's usually cold and aloof expression turned red.

His father passed away early due to poor health.

In his memory, his father was an extremely gentle person. When he was very young, his father would hold him and teach him by hand, teaching him to study and cultivate himself.

However, my father has been in poor health for many years and needs to take medicine from time to time.

Even when the weather isn't cold, he always wears a cloak.

When I was a child, I would often hear my father coughing when I was half asleep.

As for his mother, he didn't have much of an impression of her.

"Yes, your father shouldn't have gone that far."

Speaking of this, Old Madam Xiao felt heartbroken. Her poor health over the years was also due to the hatred and unresolved issues in her heart.

She just couldn't show it.

Madam Xiao gently patted Xiao Jihan's shoulder, her voice slightly choked with emotion, and said, "You look a lot like your father."

“Even better than his talent.”

However, as soon as Xiao Jihan was born, she used a secret technique to seal his spiritual root, making it impossible for anyone to see his powerful ice-type talent.

It can be considered as protecting him.

She feared that her family would discover this and take action against Xiao Jihan before he matured. She preferred that Xiao Jihan live a peaceful and safe life.

She knew someone was keeping an eye on the Xiao family's movements, but she never expected it to be the second branch of the family.

Fortunately, no one knows Xiao Jihan's secret.

A bloodthirsty hatred surged in Xiao Jihan's heart. "Grandmother, I will definitely avenge you."

Madam Xiao suppressed her emotions and said, "Let's not talk about revenge now. The Unknown Zone is more complicated than you think."

"As you have seen, the stewards of the Xiao family in the Unknown Zone all possess magical artifacts and level 10 supernatural abilities. You can imagine how strong those core figures are."

Su Muyao was somewhat shocked at this moment, never expecting that the Xiao family had such a secret.

However, Madam Xiao trusted them enough to say these things in front of all of them.

Listening to his grandmother's words, Xiao Jihan knew that he was not strong enough at the moment, so he tried his best to suppress all his emotions.

He cannot act impulsively. He has a family now and cannot cause trouble for his wife. He must think things through before acting.

After calming down, he asked, "Grandmother, what is the Unknown Zone like?"

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

And this is probably something the wife wants to know as well.

Madam Xiao said, "The land we live on is called the Mortal Beast Continent. We call that mysterious, unexplorable place the Unknown Zone. In fact, the place where the beastmen live in the Unknown Zone is called the Azure Beast Continent."

"It's just that the orcs there call it the Azure Beast Continent, while the orcs of our Mortal Beast Continent call it the Unknown Zone."

"The Azure Beast Continent was isolated from the outside world by powerful beings tens of thousands of years ago."

“There are spiritual veins there, the spiritual energy is more abundant than here, and there are more resource-rich secret realms. In their eyes, the Mortal Beast Continent is an extremely remote and scarce place with thin spiritual energy and extremely scarce resources and spiritual herbs. It is a place they look down on.”

"That's why the orcs over there can improve their abilities much faster. A level 10 ability would make them extremely powerful here, but over there they would only be considered average to low strength."

If she could, Madam Xiao would not want to recall anything about that place.

"Please ask if you have any questions."

At this point, there's nothing that can't be said.

Besides, it was that young girl who saved her life.

Su Muyao actually had many questions she wanted to ask.

I feel like I can't finish asking all the questions in a short time.

But she still asked a crucial question: "Grandmother Xiao, I want to ask, back then I had such a bad reputation and was considered useless, why did you agree to let Xiao Jihan marry me?"

"With your abilities at the time, you should have been able to stop it, right?"

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Because I trust your father and your grandfather."

Su Muyao was stunned for a moment; it was related to her father again.

Her father has such a good reputation and is so trustworthy.

Seeing Su Muyao's bewildered expression, Old Madam Xiao smiled and said, "You probably don't know your grandfather's capabilities."

"To be honest, I was able to escape from the Xiao family's main branch with Jihan's father and return home safely thanks to your grandfather's life-saving grace back then."

"So don't worry about your reputation. Since you've taken a liking to this kid Jihan, he'll be your beast husband."

“If you don’t think he’s good enough for you, he’s not qualified to be your beastly husband.”

Su Muyao was completely shocked. "My grandfather?"

How is it related to her grandfather? But speaking of which, her grandfather was indeed of the same generation as Madam Xiao.

 Sorry, I wasn't feeling well and had a headache, so I was writing slowly and the update was a bit late. Thank you for your understanding and support, my lovely readers. I'll try to update two chapters every day. Goodnight!
