Chapter 261 Grudges
The system explained, "I just sensed a power that made me realize something."
"If the host's soul hadn't malfunctioned a few years ago, and the body hadn't been possessed by evil thoughts, according to the predetermined trajectory, the host would possess the great fortune of this world. These ten males with top-notch supernatural talents would become the host's beast husbands. With the host's charm, they would only fall in love with the host and would not fall in love with any other females."
"They will become the host's help in saving the world, and they also have a destiny that complements the host."
"They live with the host. The host is so good to them. They will live well under the nourishment of love, just like Wen Nanxi and the others now."
"However, the evil spirit has taken over the host's body, and there is a potential danger that is disrupting the established world order and rules, so some trajectories have been altered."
"So when the host returned, he was in the place of exile, with only five beastmen by his side."
The system felt something was off about this, saying, "I have a feeling that someone is deliberately changing these things to cause problems between the host and the beastmen, so as to weaken the host's support."
Su Muyao's expression shifted, and she said with some emotion, "Actually, I think this is quite good. Wen Nanxi and the others have protected me and gone through a lot with me. We've also developed feelings for each other. It's perfect for them to be my beast husbands."
"As for the five beastmen whose contracts were terminated, I have no feelings for them, so the contract was terminated and that's that."
Neither the existence of malevolent souls nor the deliberate seduction by Dong Baishang and Liu Mengyan were things she could control.
Duan Tingxuan and the others also made their own choices.
She had no lingering feelings for Duan Tingxuan and the others.
“I will figure these things out.”
The system listened to its host's words and understood that its host would only look forward and move forward to figure everything out.
Su Muyao pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Okay, I'll save her."
"I just hope that after saving them, all past grievances will be wiped clean and we will owe each other nothing."
Although the evil spirit forcibly took over Duan Tingxuan's body back then, it was something that had nothing to do with her, but it was still done using her body.
There are some things that concern her, and she should deal with them.
"Also, your name is Duan Tingshu, right? You seem quite sincere. I don't need you to do anything, nor do I need you to give me your life. From now on, you should learn to take good care of yourself."
"Stop begging people like this, and take care of yourself."
In a daze, she recalled a memory from when she was young, when she returned with her father. At that time, she was alone, and she seemed to have seen Duan Tingshu when he was a child.
The little boy's dream was to protect his home and country.
It is said that his supernatural talent is better than his brother's.
Duan Tingshu had already given up hope, but he never expected to hear these words.
He knelt on the ground, looking up at Su Muyao in a daze.
This woman, who had been criticized and insulted behind her back by countless people, spoke these words to him calmly at this moment.
Only then did he see her up close; she was so dazzling and beautiful.
The twelve-year-old boy had developed a strong aversion to females because of his older brother's situation, but at this moment he felt that Miss Su was different from other females.
I just thought she was so wonderful, and I didn't understand why my older brother would choose Dong Baishang.
At this moment, he was still confused and did not understand what kind of feeling was surging up inside him.
He would never forget those words.
The Duan family head and Duan Shoufu were also stunned, and they quickly expressed their gratitude.
Everyone at the palace banquet was stunned; they hadn't expected such a twist.
As expected, Duan Shoufu was a smart man and he said the right thing.
Su Muyao slowly walked towards Duan Tingxuan.
Duan Tingxuan was sitting against the wall because of his weak body. When he watched Su Muyao approach step by step, his cold and numb heart seemed to come alive and started beating rapidly.
The throbbing and painful feeling tormented him, but when she got close, he couldn't help but slow his breathing.
His eyes were so fixed on her that he couldn't help but stare at her, unwilling to blink.
Su Muyao landed in front of Duan Tingxuan.
Just then, Dong Baishang finally recovered from her fear and panic, and rushed forward to stop Su Muyao in terror, "No, you're not allowed to go near my beast husband!" "He's mine, the female he loves is me, Su Muyao, don't think that by getting close to him and healing him you can get him back..."
Duan Tingxuan felt a wave of despair as he listened to Dong Baishang's words. He thought that perhaps it would be better for him to die.
He had never felt so embarrassed before.
Even when she was in front of him, he wished he wasn't there.
Su Muyao's lips curled up slightly. Dong Baishang was Duan Tingxuan's wife, and if she didn't allow the rescue, it would indeed be quite troublesome.
But she saw the ruthlessness and fear in Dong Baishang's eyes.
What was she afraid of? Did she not want Duan Tingxuan to live? Or did she not want her to undergo any examination?
Seeing that Su Muyao was about to get up, Duan Tingxuan didn't know where he got the strength to say, "Miss Su... I'm sorry, it was my fault back then."
"I've regretted it for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to say sorry to you."
The Duan family head was furious. She shouted, "Dong Baishang, you've ruined Tingxuan's life today, do you want to kill him too?"
"Do you want Tingxuan to die so you can seize all the dowry the Duan family gave him? Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
As he spoke, the head of the Duan family knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in view of the Duan family's unwavering loyalty, our Duan family is willing to exchange our family's merits for Tingxuan's freedom."
"We are willing to guard the southwestern pass."
The southwestern pass is the most difficult place to defend.
The troublesome Lord Lin was demoted to the southwest and is now dead.
As the head of the Duan family, she possesses strong mental power. She can guard the border and set up mental barriers to protect the soldiers during battles. She can also soothe the restless mental energy of the soldiers from a distance. Her beastmen are also very strong and can help guard the border.
She would raise her youngest son to be a general loyal to the emperor and devoted to the country.
Dong Baishang shouted, "She is my beastly husband, and I will not break off my relationship with her."
The Empress shouted, "How dare you, Dong Baishang! Do you intend to rebel?"
Dong Baishang shrank back and dared not speak again; she was afraid of dying.
Seeing that she had become obedient, the Empress then turned to the head of the Duan family. She hadn't expected the Duan family to be willing to make such a sacrifice for Duan Tingxuan. She asked Duan Tingxuan, "Duan Tingxuan, what are your thoughts?"
Duan Tingxuan knelt down weakly and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me permission to terminate my partnership with Dong Baishang. I will travel to the southwestern border with my family."
Let him stay there to repent and make amends.
Stay away from Beast King City.
Her Majesty the Empress granted her request on the spot. Dong Baishang knew that she had just angered the Empress and that disobeying the decree could cost her her life, so she had no choice but to agree.
Moreover, this empress was ruthless and decisive in her youth, which made her afraid.
Finally, the imperial seal was affixed to the palace, the aura of the Heavenly Stone dissipated, and their contractual relationship was completely dissolved.
From that point on, Duan Tingxuan and Dong Baishang had no further relationship.
Duan Tingxuan felt his tense mind gradually relax, as if a huge stone weighing on his heart had been removed.
However, his guilt towards Su Muyao could never be made up for, and his own regret could never be dispelled.
Dong Baishang took the imperial decree to terminate the contract and left on the spot; she ran faster than anyone else.
Su Muyao raised an eyebrow and took Duan Tingxuan's pulse again, and this time she actually discovered something.
The Duan family patriarch and Duan Shoufu watched nervously from the sidelines.
Duan Tingxuan also nervously calmed his breathing, not because he was concerned about his own body, but because she was so close that he could see her butterfly-wing-like eyelashes and clearly see her stunningly beautiful face.
She's so beautiful after her appearance was restored.
Su Muyao said, "He was not only seriously injured, but also poisoned with a forbidden drug from the palace, the Crimson Begonia Intoxication."
Su Muyao's words were like a thunderclap.
