Chapter 248 Female in a Dream

When Shen Ci'an suddenly asked this question, everyone turned to look at Mei Qingchen, their gazes fixed on his sword.

Everyone still remembers his sword spirit, which showed no respect for Mei Qingchen back then.

Back then, whenever Mei Qingchen tried to attack Su Muyao, his sword spirit would always stop him.

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao's expression shifted, and she suddenly remembered Mei Qingchen's sword spirit.

She remembered when she used her wood-based powers to repair the sword, she suddenly entered the sword's spiritual world and encountered that man with peach blossom eyes.

Ask her if she wants peach blossom soup or peach blossom pastries...

Thinking of this, Su Muyao was momentarily dazed and didn't see the man's face clearly. He was wearing a mask, but his peach blossom eyes left a deep impression on her.

Now I remember.

Since Mei Qingchen left the Beiluo tribe, there has been no further news about his sword spirit.

Mei Qingchen looked at her sword and thought of the sword spirit, her expression filled with emotion.

Back when he was in the Beiluo tribe, he didn't understand anything. This sword blocked his way several times, but he didn't understand it at the time.

Looking back now, I am very grateful to him.

I thank him for reminding him several times before.

"He has left."

Shen Ci'an raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but still said, "He is your sword spirit. Since he can leave, it means he is not your sword spirit."

Hua Linye's fox-like eyes flickered. "Isn't that your sword spirit?"

Mei Qingchen explained, "No."

"When I fell into Death Valley, he suddenly appeared and saved me, temporarily residing in my sword. As for where he came from and who he is, I have no idea."

Mei Qingchen knew absolutely nothing about the sword spirit; even with his divination abilities, he couldn't see anything about it.

But he never hurt him, and even reminded him when he was still naive.

Therefore, Mei Qingchen was extremely grateful to him.

When did you leave?

"He escorted me back to the Mei family and then left."

He was worried about the dangers he might face on the road, so he remained as his sword spirit, helping him resolve some dangers along the way. He only left after arriving at the Mei family and confirming that he was alright.

Wen Nanxi tapped the table lightly with her finger and said, "The fact that he was able to save you in Death Valley and also reside in the sword shows that he is no ordinary person."

"I'm temporarily residing in your sword, probably to take the opportunity to leave Death Valley and recover from my injuries."

Wen Nanxi spoke these words calmly and composedly, and no one doubted his words.

In Shen Ci'an's view, Wen Nanxi must be someone with a remarkable background and know things that others don't.

Mei Qingchen said, "I tried to use the Mei family's spiritual power to find out where he went, but I couldn't."

Shen Ci'an narrowed his long eyes and smiled, "To be able to survive in Death Valley and rescue you, you must be extraordinary."

"No orc that has ever entered Death Valley has ever come out alive."

Back then, Mei Qingchen was clueless and went into Death Valley in order to find her sword. Luckily, she came out of Death Valley.

When Death Valley was mentioned, Su Muyao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

It was the original owner who threw Mei Qingchen's sword into Death Valley. Although it wasn't her doing, it was still related to her.

Su Muyao looked at Mei Qingchen and asked, "Is the sword alright?"

Hearing his wife's words of concern, Mei Qingchen's eyes welled up with emotion, and he looked at her with such focused eyes, "It's nothing."

Su Muyao said, "You don't need to be sad. If fate allows, we will meet again."

Su Muyao recalled how, whenever Mei Qingchen spoke harshly or tried to harm her, the sword spirit would always protect her, seemingly trusting her implicitly.

So she also hopes he's doing well.

As for whether they would meet again in the future, Su Muyao didn't care and also tried to persuade Mei Qingchen.

……

In a mansion somewhere in Beast King City, the Xu family head looked at Xu Hejing, admiring his noble and handsome appearance, and nodded in satisfaction. "This time, the palace didn't give us any spots, but I personally met with the Prince of Chu, who added us to the list and gave us invitations to the palace banquet. With the invitations, we can enter the palace to attend the banquet."

"You must perform well. If you can marry the princess, the reputation of my Xu family will be completely transformed."

The head of the Xu family was very satisfied with his son.

The Xu family were merchants who had fallen on hard times, and she had to put in a lot of effort to improve their business.

Xu Hejing listened to his mother's words with his head down, without refuting her.

A woman standing nearby spoke up: "Mother, elder brother, I heard that that little slut will also be attending the palace banquet."

"If we run into that, it would be really bad. It would be better if he couldn't attend the palace banquet."

When Hua Linye was mentioned, they simply called him "the bastard" without even calling him by his name.

The head of the Xu family frowned deeply. "I never expected him to be so lucky to survive."

The woman, Xu Hesi, mocked, "That's right, after being poisoned by such an incurable and domineering fire poison, she should have died long ago."

Xu Hesi despised Hua Linye, which was undoubtedly influenced by her father.

Her father was the first beastly husband, but after her mother had another woman named Hua Ruoze in her harem, her father fell out of favor for a long time.

My father had a bad temper back then and treated them badly.

She was very young then and secretly met her mother's beastly husband. He seemed indifferent and unassuming, and it was unclear who he was trying to impress.

She thought that kind of person was extremely hypocritical.

Because of that person's existence, her father would beat and scold her and her brother at that time.

That's why she hated that father and son.

Fortunately, Hua Ruoze fell out of favor and died early, leaving behind only Hua Linye.

In her opinion, Hua Linye was going to die sooner or later, so she never expected him to still be alive.

The head of the Xu family would think of Hua Linye and how he had obtained the embroidery skills through deception, and his expression turned very unpleasant.

Hua Linye's presence seemed to constantly remind her of the despicable things she had done.

"I told you, don't mention that person."

“I wrote him letters as his mother, but he never even replied.”

The head of the Xu family originally thought that Hua Linye would die in the cold northern region, but he never expected that Su Muyao would have a chance to turn things around.

Xu Hesi scoffed, "He probably thinks that by relying on Su Muyao, he can sever ties with my Xu family. What is he thinking?"

"If it weren't for the medicine from my Xu family, the fire poison in his body would have been impossible to suppress."

"Mother, he will come and kneel down to beg us again."

“Even if Mother arranged for someone to marry in place of her, she shouldn’t have arranged for him to go.”

The head of the Xu family frowned and said, "Who could have imagined that Su Muyao could turn things around?"

At that time, the head of the Xu family also received a tip from the King of Chu that the Su family was going to be in trouble, so he arranged for Hua Linye to marry in place of him.

They just wanted Hua Linye to die outside.

"In any case, you must all perform well at the palace banquet. Hess, you too, you must marry a beastman of noble status."

"If you had half of Liu Mengyan's skills, I wouldn't have to worry about you."

Nowadays, families are educating their daughters according to Liu Mengyan's standards.

Liu Mengyan, from a small family, actually managed to marry the heir of a top family and become his beast husband, something they couldn't even imagine.

Xu Hesi was very unhappy. Her mother always wanted her to learn from Liu Mengyan, and she really thought that the young masters of those top families were so easy to approach.

She also really wanted to learn from Liu Mengyan.

Who wouldn't want to marry such a powerful male as a beast husband, complete with a dowry of ten miles of red bridal procession?

She was very envious.

Many males in various families regard Liu Mengyan as their dream woman, and the Liu family's status has risen considerably.
