Chapter 264 Waiting to see the show

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao's expression changed.

When Jiang Mochuan appeared at the start of the palace banquet, she knew that there was something wrong with his health. She had guessed all sorts of possibilities, but she never thought it would be like this.

She wasn't worried about Jiang Mochuan's health at all; she was speculating about the conspiracy behind it.

She communicated with the system telepathically: "Jiang Mochuan has health problems, but Liu Mengyan is in good health. Moreover, Shen Ci'an said that Liu Mengyan looks well and has condensed supernatural abilities."

"Since this spider silk can devour Jiang Mochuan's innate blood power and supernatural power, it should prove one thing: this spider silk comes from Liu Mengyan."

"She wants to improve her abilities in this way."

Su Muyao used to think that Liu Mengyan was sincere towards Jiang Mochuan, but now it seems that she wasn't sincere at all and was just using him.

The system said, "Host, this Liu Mengyan is very likely a spider beastman. Only spider beastmen can inject this kind of devouring power into males through the bond."

“Spider-beastmen are the lowest-ranking beastmen. Normal beastmen don’t want to be with such beastmen. Jiang Mochuan ignored his host and fell in love with this spider-beastman. I don’t know how he will react after he finds out the truth.”

The system used to think Jiang Mochuan was particularly hateful because he always tried to harm its host, but now it even feels a little sorry for him.

But there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

Su Muyao said, "When the evil spirit took over my body, it was understandable that Jiang Mochuan forcibly broke the contract and got together with Liu Mengyan."

“This has nothing to do with me, but it’s clear that there’s a conspiracy behind it. Liu Mengyan has targeted me many times, and I will find out the truth.”

"Jiang Mochuan cannot die for the time being. Is there any way to save his life?"

If he dies, some clues will be lost.

The system said, "There's no way to help unless the Moon Clan intervenes."

“Orcs like the Spider Orcs, who are inherently low-level and evil, are most afraid of the Moon Orcs, especially since the Moon Orcs’ blood naturally counters their evil magic.”

Su Muyao seemed to be thinking of some things from the past and said, "No wonder Liu Mengyan always deliberately avoided Yue Wuhen back then."

Yue Wuhen was one of Su Muyao's former beast husbands and also the young master of the Yue Clan.

Although Liu Mengyan asked Su Muyao to examine Jiang Mochuan's physical condition, she was also afraid that Su Muyao would discover her secret.

She used a special secret technique of her clan, so even if Su Muyao had excellent medical skills, she wouldn't be able to detect anything.

Jiang Mochuan's eyes were deep and dark. He kept looking at Su Muyao, observing her expression, and had to admit that she was different from before.

At this moment, Jiang Mochuan couldn't think about anything else; he wanted to know what was wrong with his body.

He had been carefully observing Su Muyao's expression, and when he saw her surprised and solemn look, his heart sank.

Soon, Su Muyao stopped and said, "I'm sorry, my medical skills are limited, and I can't see the specific problems in Young Master Jiang's body."

"As for the external injuries, the imperial physicians have already bandaged Young Master Jiang, so there shouldn't be anything I need to do."

Jiang Mochuan's pupils changed; no, she must have figured something out.

He wouldn't mistake the subtle expressions on her face when she took his pulse.

Liu Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, a barely perceptible smile appearing on her lips, and started acting up again, "Miss Su's medical skills are so high, is it that you don't want to treat Mo Chuan, or does Miss Su still hold a grudge against us? I know, Miss Su is still unwilling to forgive us."

“It’s all my fault. I upset Miss Su. As long as Miss Su is willing to save Mo Chuan, as long as you are willing to forgive us, Miss Su can hit me or scold me.”

Su Muyao turned around and slapped Liu Mengyan hard across the face.

With a loud slap, Liu Mengyan was knocked to the ground.

Liu Mengyan was stunned by the blow, and one side of her face quickly swelled up.

Everyone present gasped, but remained silent. They had all witnessed Su Muyao's extraordinary medical skills, and no one wanted to offend her.

Not to mention that Su Muyao still holds military power and real authority.

Moreover, Su Muyao had just saved and helped everyone, so no one said anything bad about her. However, Yan Zhaoye jumped out and said, "Su Muyao, you actually hit Miss Liu at the palace banquet!"

"You're still so vicious, how could you bully Miss Liu like this... ugh..."

Before Yan Zhaoye could finish speaking, Yan Shoufu had already covered his mouth tightly, imprisoning him so that he could not make a sound.

Su Muyao ignored Yan Zhaoye and looked down at Liu Mengyan with a cold expression. "You begged me to do it, so if I don't, I'll really be letting Miss Liu down."

"Liu Mengyan, since you're so eager to know what's wrong with Jiang Mochuan's body, then I'll tell you. He's been afflicted by an evil spell, making it impossible for him to condense spiritual energy to enhance his abilities. Even if he tries to cultivate, his abilities will only dissipate."

"This is not an illness; evil magic must be countered with methods that counter evil magic."

Are you satisfied with what I've said?

Liu Mengyan, who was covering her face in pain, was shocked and widened her eyes upon hearing Su Muyao's words.

How could she see through that? No, their clan's secret techniques are extremely well hidden; Su Muyao could never have figured them out.

Tears welled up in Liu Mengyan's eyes instantly as she said, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm just worried about Jiang Mochuan."

Su Muyao's lips curled into a strange smile. She hadn't expected Liu Mengyan to admit anything when she said those words.

But she planted a seed of doubt in Jiang Mochuan's heart, letting Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan fight like dogs, and she just waited to watch the show.

Although Jiang Mochuan was bewitched by Liu Mengyan and became love-struck, he was indeed capable and cunning.

As Su Muyao spoke, she glanced at Jiang Mochuan's face out of the corner of her eye and, sure enough, saw the dark and cold look in his eyes.

that's enough.

Su Muyao's words caused an uproar.

The mere mention of evil magic evokes fear and disgust.

……

When the palace banquet ended and Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi were riding back in the carriage, Wen Nanxi lovingly pulled her into her arms, saying, "Be good, lie down and rest for a while."

She must have been exhausted at the palace banquet.

Su Muyao leaned against Wen Nanxi's chest, feeling a sense of peace as she inhaled the delicate and pleasant scent of bamboo emanating from him.

Shen Ci'an and the others looked at Su Muyao and felt extremely sorry for her.

The night was full of twists and turns, but fortunately nothing serious happened.

"I've discovered something, I'll tell you when I get home."

After returning home, Shen Ci'an set up a barrier around the house to block out all prying eyes and sounds. Only then did Su Muyao speak: "I suspect that Liu Mengyan is a spider beastman. When I examined Jiang Mochuan's body, I found that his body was covered with spider silk."

"Look, this is a strand of spider silk that I pulled from Jiang Mochuan's body."

She only secretly produced a strand of spider silk, so that Liu Mengyan wouldn't discover the problem.

This spider silk is clearly different from ordinary spider silk.

When Shen Ci'an saw the spider silk, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes darkened. "It's the Devouring Silk spit out by the Nine Nether Spider Beastman."

The mention of the Nine Nether Spider Beastmen caused Wen Nanxi and the others to change their expressions.

His expression became extremely solemn.

Su Muyao asked, "Nine Nether Spider Beastmen? Is there any story behind that?"
