Chapter 305 Benefactor
When Su Muyao regained some consciousness, she only felt that the surroundings were very cold.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like she was trapped in ice and snow, with howling winds all around, swirling snowflakes that landed on her face.
It's so cold.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but couldn't.
Su Muyao thought in a daze, "Won't I freeze to death here?"
Just as Su Muyao was feeling dazed, she vaguely heard footsteps, the sound of something stepping on the snow.
Before long, Su Muyao felt herself being embraced in a warm hug.
Is she thinking it's Wen Nanxi and the others?
One could smell a faint, subtle fragrance emanating from this person, which was different from the scents of Wen Nanxi and the others.
Not them.
She tried to open her eyes to take a look, but her head ached terribly, and she couldn't move her body at all.
Immediately afterwards, she felt herself being lifted up and flying, the wind whistling in her ears, but she seemed to be protected, and she couldn't feel a single cold breeze.
In a daze, Su Muyao fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, she opened her eyes groggily and found herself in a cave. There was a fire in the cave, and the firewood was crackling as it burned.
Su Muyao immediately wanted to find Wen Nanxi and the others.
The system said, "Host, stop looking. They were teleported to another place because of their different strengths and bloodlines, but they are fine, don't worry."
Hearing the system say this, Su Muyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, slender man wearing a black cloak and a mask walked in.
He was as tall as a jade tree, and his movements were as light as flowing clouds. He had an elegant and refined temperament, and every step he took stirred up a gentle breeze.
He walked in carrying a cleaned rabbit. When he saw that Su Muyao was awake, he paused and asked, "You're awake?"
Su Muyao was stunned for a moment. She felt that although this person was unfamiliar, his voice was like a clear spring flowing through jade, with a clear and melodious echo, low and pleasant to listen to.
"Yes, you saved me."
Su Muyao used an affirmative tone.
The man explained softly, “I went out hunting and saw you lying in the snow. In time, you would be covered by the snow.”
Su Muyao blinked and asked, "Is this the Azure Beast Continent?"
The man squatted down and added firewood to the fire while explaining, "Yes, it's the Xuanbing Snow Region of the Azure Beast Continent."
Upon hearing the words "Mysterious Ice Snow Domain," Su Muyao's expression changed, and she clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
She looked at the man in front of the fire. Because he was wearing a mask, she couldn't see his face. She could only see half of his jade-colored neck above his collar, which contrasted sharply with his dark hair. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
Su Muyao paused for a moment, then said, "This is the territory of the Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts."
"Yes, the entire Xuanbing Snowfield is under the control of the Nalan family, the Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao fell into deep thought. She remembered that Xie Yi had mentioned before that Xie Guixue's father was named Nalan Ling, and Xie Yi addressed him as Young Master Ling.
According to what she knew, the Azure Beast Continent was extremely vast, and there were no countries here, only various forces and tribes.
Some large families and tribes control a territory, and their patriarchs and tribal leaders are equivalent to emperors in that territory, controlling everything.
Su Muyao looked at the man who was focused on roasting rabbit meat and thought that since he lived in the Xuanbing Snow Region, he should know something about the Nalan family.
“My benefactor, look, I accidentally ended up in this place, and I don’t know much about it.”
"Could you tell me who is currently in charge of the Nalan family?"
The man answered truthfully, "The current head of the Nalan family is Nalan Ling."
"And what about his children? Who will be his heir?"
Actually, Su Muyao wanted to ask about Xie Guixue's situation, but this was the Azure Beast Continent, and others might not know Xie Guixue; perhaps he had already changed his name.
Regardless, she wanted to know how he was doing and what his situation was.
"The young master of the Nalan family is Nalan Guixue, who recently returned." Su Muyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name Nalan Guixue.
The system spoke in Su Muyao's ear: "Host, this Nalan Guixue must be Xie Guixue. Xie Guixue's father is indeed still alive."
"Then what about the sacrifice back then? Was a fake sacrifice made?"
"Aren't ice and snow spirit beasts supposed to be pure and loyal, and extremely devoted to their feelings? What's wrong with this Nalan Ling?"
"As expected, ancient books and records cannot be trusted. They make the ice and snow spirit beasts seem incredibly powerful, but in reality, the mortal beast continent simply doesn't have ice and snow spirit beasts. The Azure Beast Continent, on the other hand, has plenty of them, such as the powerful Nalan family."
Su Muyao's lips twitched, and she communicated with the system telepathically, saying, "I don't know what happened either."
"Perhaps I should meet with him and ask him some questions."
The system angrily said, "In the past, when Xie Guixue's mother was wary of you, she even arranged for Xie clan experts to guard the area when she asked the elders of the Moon Clan to treat Xie Guixue's body, preventing anyone from visiting."
"After Xie Guixue recovered and woke up, his father forcibly took him away again. Even if you wanted to see him before, you couldn't."
"On the contrary, it will only bring shame upon oneself."
Su Muyao paused for a moment before saying, "I actually hoped that we could meet after he woke up."
"Some things can be explained clearly."
The system sighed and said, "Your situation is really complicated."
Su Muyao sat there, twisting her hands together, lost in thought.
Just then, the masked man used a knife to cut the roasted rabbit meat into pieces, wrapped them in clean leaves, and handed them to her.
"Here, have something to eat first."
Su Muyao was stunned for a moment. She was indeed hungry, and even felt a little dizzy from hunger.
However, she has food in her space, but she can't reveal its existence in front of strangers.
Su Muyao didn't sense any malice from this person. The system said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the food."
Su Muyao didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Thank you."
With that, Su Muyao took it and began to eat.
When I put it in my mouth, I realized that the rabbit meat tasted great, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the temperature was just right, not too hot.
Su Muyao couldn't help but look at the masked man. Even though she couldn't see his face clearly, he exuded a refined and elegant aura. Even when he was roasting rabbit meat, every move he made was very graceful.
After eating a few pieces of meat, Su Muyao felt a bit stronger and more comfortable. She took a deep breath and realized that the air here was fresher and the spiritual energy was much richer, several times that of the Mortal Beast Continent.
It is very suitable for cultivation to improve strength.
However, she still had many questions to ask, "Benefactor, is the young master of the Nalan family you mentioned the heir designated by the Nalan family?"
The man explained, "He is the heir chosen by the head of the family. Because he was only recently brought back, many of the elders in the Nalan family do not agree with him being the heir."
“The Nalan family is worried that he did not grow up in the family and has no sense of belonging to the family, so they want him to marry the family’s Holy Female. In this way, all the beastmen in the family will support him to become the future head of the family.”
Upon hearing this, the system became furious. "Heavens! What will you do if Xie Guixue agrees?"
Its host still has feelings for Xie Guixue.
"There is also the Holy Female, who is said to be the female with the strongest spiritual power and the strongest fertility, and can give birth to pure-blooded beast cubs with great talent for males."
Hearing this, Su Muyao lost her appetite. She leaned back, slowly hugged her knees, and buried her head in them.
No one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
The man looked at her and could feel the loneliness and sadness emanating from her.
"Does the young lady know Young Master Nalan?"
Su Muyao composed herself and slowly stood up, saying, "I don't know her."
She cannot reveal that she comes from the continent of mortal beasts.
"I'm just a little curious, but did your young master Nalan agree?"
