With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 345 is not simple.

Bi Zhixu tried hard to suppress her emotions, but a hint of emotion still escaped her lips.

Especially when he said these words, a trace of sorrow appeared between his brows.

Su Muyao seemed to realize something, her heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Bi Zhixu almost without blinking, "Young Master Bi, you said I look a lot like your aunt, I wonder how your aunt is now?"

Su Muyao had a guess in her heart that Bi Zhixu's aunt might be her mother.

All she wants to know right now is how her mother is doing, whether she's still alive and well.

Please don't become some kind of sacrifice.

When Su Muyao asked that question, her heart jumped.

Bi Zhixu met Su Muyao's expectant gaze and sighed softly, "Miss Su, please come in and talk."

After entering the room, Bi Zhixu turned something on her wrist, and a magical artifact created a barrier around them, preventing any beastmen outside from hearing their conversation.

Then, Bi Zhixu poured Su Muyao a cup of tea and said, "Miss Su, let me tell you a story first."

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Jade Pool descended from the heavens and landed on the Azure Beast Continent, forming a pool of water resembling a celestial lake. The Jade Pool nurtured the Azure Beasts, who established the Azure Water Tribe. Later, the waters of the Jade Pool flowed out and merged with various rivers.

"From very early times, the leaders of the Azure Water Tribe have known that the Azure Flower Beast's responsibility is to control all the floods on the continent."

After taking a sip of tea, Su Muyao listened quietly as Bi Zhixu continued.

She knew that every word he said and every message he sent must be important.

Was the legendary Jade Pool, a fairy pool, actually descended from the sky?

It's quite surprising that the Bihua Beast was actually born from the Jade Pool.

Bi Zhixu continued, "A thousand years ago, there were no floods. Most of the time, the weather was favorable. Even if there were some problems, the Bihua Beast's ability to control water was enough to manage these rivers and floods."

"But since a thousand years ago, on a night of thunder and lightning, the water-suppressing stone tablet under the Yao River disappeared. After that, floods became rampant, and countless orcs in the south died. At this time, the river god's messenger appeared and instructed the Biyue tribe to offer female sacrifices every hundred years to replace the water-suppressing stone tablet and suppress the floods."

"Under the circumstances at the time, the young chief of the Bishui tribe made a sacrifice without hesitation, and the floods disappeared after that."

“For over a thousand years, the Bishui tribe has sacrificed ten females. More than twenty years ago, when the centennial was approaching, my father couldn’t bear to let my aunt be sacrificed, and he didn’t believe in any sacrificial rituals.”

“My father felt that this method would continue indefinitely. The Bishui tribe had sacrificed too many females. Originally, the ancestors of the Bishui tribe were female, and the leaders were also female. But later, when females had to be sacrificed, males became the leaders.”

"There is only one pure-blooded female among the Bihua Beasts of this generation, and that is my aunt. The night before my aunt was to be sacrificed, my father put a drug in the soup that my aunt drank. My aunt was not on guard against my father and fell into a deep sleep after drinking it."

"My father asked the high priest for help and sent my aunt to the most ordinary mortal beast continent. It is said that although the mortal beast continent is scarce in resources, spiritual energy, and materials, it is relatively peaceful and stable."

"My father hoped that my aunt could live an ordinary life in the Beast Continent, without having to sacrifice or bear any responsibility."

"Moreover, once you enter the Mortal Beast Continent, it is extremely difficult to return to the Azure Beast Continent."

Hearing this, Su Muyao had an even more certain guess in her heart: Bi Zhixu's aunt was her mother.

"Later, the floods did indeed become a disaster, and my aunt had to come back. After she returned, my aunt said that she had gotten married in the Mortal Beast Continent and had a daughter. She said her daughter's name was Su Muyao."

“Miss Su, I think you must be my aunt’s daughter.”

So when he first met her, he instinctively felt a sense of closeness and trust.

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that with the current floods, if you return to the tribe and people find out that you are your aunt’s daughter, some orcs will want the tribe to sacrifice females again to ensure that the floods will not happen again.”

But Bi Zhixu felt that, why should these females be sacrificed to suppress the flood?

Why should they have to sacrifice themselves?

Moreover, nobody knows what really happened with the flood; it might be part of a conspiracy. His father is currently investigating the matter.

He had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple.

Furthermore, the River God has never truly appeared. Does the River God's messenger's claim to be a messenger truly make him a messenger?
After hearing these words, Su Muyao roughly understood what was going on.

Upon hearing that her mother had later been sacrificed, Su Muyao's heart sank and her expression changed.

She felt a heavy, dull ache in her chest.

But she still calmed herself down and comforted Bi Zhixu, saying, "Cousin, you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault."

"Did my mother really sacrifice herself? Is she dead?"

Upon hearing the words "cousin," Bi Zhixu's clear, watery eyes shimmered with a gentle light, as if her emotions were shattering; she was willing to acknowledge him.

He had known since he was a child that he had a cousin, but he had never met her, and he had longed to see her for a long time.

Hearing him call her "cousin" now, Bi Zhixu almost lost her composure.

He said in a low, hoarse voice, "I don't know. After my aunt was sacrificed and sent into the Yao River, I didn't know anything about her condition, but my father and I always felt that she was still alive."

Regardless, they couldn't believe their aunt was dead.

Su Muyao calmed herself down and thought for a while before saying, "Cousin, I will definitely go to the Biyue Tribe."

"I will find out what happened, and I will rescue my mother."

She simply couldn't believe her mother was dead.

But if her mother really dies, she will find out the reason, and whoever interfered, she will definitely avenge her mother.

Bi Zhixu was actually telling her cousin the truth so that she could stay away from the Bishui tribe.

Moreover, he couldn't bear to lie when faced with her probing questions.

To my surprise, after hearing all this, my cousin decided to go to the Biyue tribe without hesitation.

Bi Zhixu remembered that her cousin was not a Bihua beast and could not swim.

“Cousin, the south is prone to flooding right now. Even orcs who can swim can easily get caught in the whirlpools. It’s best if you don’t go to the south now.”

Neither the southern part nor the Bishui tribe is allowed.

Su Muyao can swim, but she knows that even with her strength, she might not be able to avoid the turbulent river and its whirlpools.

Just then, the system excitedly said, "Host, there happens to be a water-repelling bead in the space bag that Nightshade gave you."

"Water-repelling beads?"

The system said, "Yes, it means that once the host has the water-repelling bead, he can move freely underwater, just like a water beast that is extremely skilled in swimming."

Night Shadow had previously asked her neighbor to give her a spatial bag, which contained many spirit stones.

She didn't notice anything else.

She had only used some spirit stones to hire a carriage to buy food.

"Yes, there is a water-repelling bead. Nightshade is really good to you, preparing a lot of things for you. You may need these things."

Following the system's instructions, Su Muyao took out the spatial bag, opened it, and didn't see anything special. However, when she used her mind to sense the contents of the spatial bag, she actually discovered quite a few good things.
