Chapter 260 Cause and Effect
Su Muyao looked at her younger brother Duan Tingxuan's plea and felt a pang of emotion.

In fact, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Duan family anymore.

When Duan Tingxuan left, he said some heartless things, fearing that she would pester them.

"Su Muyao, the person I've loved has never been you, you know that."

"My heart belongs to her, and I can't give it to anyone else. Su Muyao, let go. Forced love is never sweet."

The original owner of this body looked at him with such pain, hysterically saying, "Even if it's not sweet, I'll force it! Duan Tingxuan, I won't let you leave, I won't..."

"Duan Tingxuan, you are mine, you are destined to be mine..."

The original body stared at Duan Tingxuan frantically, shouting and calling out to him.

At that time, Duan Tingxuan did not turn around. He only left behind a sentence, "Su Muyao, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

At that time, Duan Tingxuan left the Su family, happily waiting to be with Dong Baishang, right?

She was surprised that Dong Baishang would hurt Duan Tingxuan like that, and she felt a little sad and regretful.

She understood that it was normal for her predecessor to be disliked because of her appearance.

Of course, she didn't blame them for making that choice; for them, it was the right choice.

It's just that it has nothing to do with her anymore.

She wouldn't care about them, nor would she think about them; they were just strangers to her.

"I use my superpowers to save people not for any reward, you've got it wrong."

"Also, I have no connection with your Duan family anymore. Young Master Duan's injuries are not serious. There are many beastmen in this world who possess healing abilities."

Duan Tingxuan's condition is not life-threatening; it's just that his arm injury is quite severe, but a skilled doctor can cure him.

So whether she saves him or not won't make much difference; she just doesn't want to get involved with the Duan family anymore.

Upon hearing Su Muyao's words, both Duan family head Duan Shoufu and Duan Tingshu showed expressions of despair.

I even felt ashamed.

They realized they had made a mistake.

I thought Su Muyao might still have some feelings for me, but she simply wouldn't.

Seeing this scene, Wen Nanxi and the others understood that the wife was upright and outspoken, and dared to love and hate. Once she severed ties with her former beastly husband, there would be no further contact between them.

When Wei Jinmo saw this scene, he was suddenly relieved that he had gone to the Northern Border early on and done the right thing, and that she was still willing to save him.

Otherwise, like Duan Tingxuan, she wouldn't save him no matter how humbly he begged.

They wouldn't even glance back.

At this moment, Duan Tingxuan felt an even greater pain in his chest, and his anger surged to the point that blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His body trembled slightly, as if he couldn't breathe.

It's his fault; he can't blame anyone else.

The Empress actually wanted Su Muyao to save people, as the Duan family's ancestors were meritorious officials and they are now loyal to the Dongning Dynasty.

But her granddaughter has suffered so much, she won't impose her will on her.

She can save them if she wants to, and she won't if she doesn't.

So the empress could only sigh.

Duan Shoufu couldn't help but step forward and kneel down, saying, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have morally blackmailed you."

“It’s understandable that you didn’t save him. Tingxuan made a mistake and got injured on his own. It has nothing to do with anyone else, including you.”

“We have not experienced the hardships of your exile, and we should not be here asking you for anything.”

“At least Tingxuan lived in Beast Emperor City and didn’t experience the dangerous environment of the Northern Territory. He has only himself to blame for being like this.”

Duan Shoufu was very clear-headed; he knew that the more he pressured someone, the more resentful they would become. He only wanted to apologize.

They apologized for the mistakes made by the Duan family and for Duan Tingxuan's mistakes.

They owed him an apology. When the Su family was in trouble, Su Muyao was exiled, and Duan Tingxuan was needed most.

They were wrong, terribly wrong. If they had forced Duan Tingxuan to be exiled with Su Muyao, perhaps everything would have been different.

Duan Shoufu's words made everyone realize something at once.

That is, don't be fooled by Su Muyao's current radiant appearance standing here; in reality, she has suffered countless hardships since her exile.

"I heard that Su Muyao suffered many assassination attempts on her way to exile."

"I don't know who hated her so much that they wanted her to die on the road to exile."

"At that time, the Empress was unconscious and the situation in Beast King City was chaotic. No one cared about such things. It was really not easy for Su Muyao to survive to the Northern Territory."

"Yes, everyone thought she died on the way to exile, and that she would never come back. Who would have thought that she would make a strong comeback in just one year?"

"The Duan family will naturally regret it. Do you think Dong Baishang can compare to Su Muyao?"

"That's right. When the assassins appeared just now, one of them had such a grand vision, a level nine strength to protect the Empress, while the other was like a troublemaker, sending Duan Tingxuan into the assassins' clutches."

When the assassins were carrying out the attack, many people heard Dong Baishang screaming like a pig being slaughtered; it was impossible not to pay attention.

Naturally, one can see how she treats Duan Tingxuan.

Therefore, Dong Baishang is no match for Su Muyao now.

"But no one would have thought this day would come. Su Muyao used to be arrogant and domineering, but she was just a good-for-nothing."

When someone brought this up, everyone was a little dazed. Although Su Muyao used to be domineering and arrogant, and seemed like a good-for-nothing, they remembered that before she was exiled, she liked her beastmen very much and pestered them all day long, wanting to have them.

Now his temperament seems to have changed completely.

Su Muyao looked down at Duan Shoufu kneeling there and had to admit that Duan Shoufu was very clever.

I remember when Duan Tingxuan wanted to leave, Duan Shoufu objected, but the Duan family head looked down on her. At that time, Duan Tingxuan's mind was on Dong Baishang, so naturally he wouldn't listen to Duan Shoufu.

Just then, the system spoke up: "Host, please save Duan Tingxuan."

The system could sense that Su Muyao didn't want to save him, but simply didn't want to have anything to do with the Duan family.

It explained, "I'm not speaking for Duan Tingxuan, but I just sensed a force of destiny pulling me. In this Beast World, they were originally your destined ten beast husbands, and you should have lived happily together. But because evil thoughts took over your body, and some changes occurred in this world, everything changed."

"After your return, some things returned to normal, but the things that were changed cannot be restored to normal."

"Even so, Duan Tingxuan and the others are also entangled with you in karma. They can die, but they cannot be implicated in your death."

"If Duan Tingxuan loses his arm, he might lose his spirit. If he continues to be harmed by Dong Baishang, he might even lose his life."

"This causal relationship will affect the host."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao's gaze darkened. "You mean he'll not only lose his hand, but he'll also die?"

Su Muyao really didn't want Duan Tingxuan to die; she just felt that his hand injury wasn't a big deal and that he could recover with a skilled doctor.

The system continued to explain: "Yes, host, it means that if you save him, his death because of someone else will have nothing to do with you. But if you stand by and do nothing now, his death will affect you."

"Because he was supposed to live with you, but some things changed and that's why things are like this now."

"Moreover, the Duan family are royalists, so saving them would be an aid and would be entirely beneficial to the host."

"Although whatever changes or causal relationships occur, it is their own choice, not a choice forced upon them by the host."

"But host, you should still save him. It will sever your karmic ties with him."

Su Muyao's expression shifted slightly as she asked, "What did you mean by ten destined beast husbands?"
