Chapter 373 Partiality
Yanran had always been somewhat arrogant in her words and actions, so people didn't like her to begin with.
However, because she is female, and females are precious, people don't say anything even if they don't like her.
Only females would openly target other females.
However, if Yanran disrespects the Beast God, she will be ostracized by all her clansmen and may even be expelled from the Fire Fox Clan.
Now that Su Muyao has become Yanran, she naturally knows the rules of the clan.
Su Muyao smiled faintly and said, "Of course I'll jump."
Now that she is Yanran, she must abide by the rules of the Fire Fox Clan.
Su Muyao lifted her skirt and stepped into the open space next to the campfire.
She lightly touched the ground with her toes, stretched out her arms, and began to dance.
She wore bone bells on her hands, which jingled softly with her movements, producing a bright and crisp sound.
As she spun, the hem of her skirt, illuminated by the campfire, seemed to ignite, spinning with a fiery glow.
Her waist was as supple as if it were wrapped in moonlight, and when she stretched out her arms, the clear, melodious sound of the bone bells on her sleeves drowned out the crackling of the campfire.
The Fire Fox Clan beastmen stared in astonishment at Yanran's dance. They had never seen her dance like this before and found it incredibly beautiful.
Everyone watched with bated breath as her toes touched the edge of the campfire, each step seemingly treading on flowing flames, as if she had crushed the stars of the night sky into her dance steps, so graceful and dazzling.
Looking at her like this, Sang Yao was momentarily stunned, as if something suppressed in his heart had suddenly broken free of its shackles.
A deep ripple seemed to appear in the fox king's eyes; no one knew his emotions at that moment.
He simply gazed at her quietly, as if he could see glimpses of light and shadow in the river of time through her.
If his romantic interests and entanglements were with her, he wouldn't object.
But eventually, we have to go through some things; that's fate's arrangement.
No one can interfere.
As she finished her final spin, she stopped dancing, raised an eyebrow at Cui Shan, and said, "Cousin, you asked me to dance, and I did."
At this moment, a look of jealousy flashed in Cui Shan's eyes.
She hadn't expected Yanran to dance so well. She thought she was the best dancer, but Yanran had outdone her, and she was unwilling to accept it.
Furthermore, she had planned everything perfectly, expecting Yanran to fall into the valley and die while picking wild fruit, but she somehow survived.
Cui Shan turned to look at Lin Ye beside her, and saw that Lin Ye was looking at Yan Ran with bright eyes.
Cui Shan glared at Yan Ran and said, "No, you're not Yan Ran. Yan Ran wasn't like this before. You must be a fake."
Cui Shan is now jealous and wants to make things difficult for Yan Ran.
In the past, she only needed to provoke Yanran a little and she would go crazy.
Su Muyao is not the same Yanran as before, who was a brainless idiot who would go crazy if provoked by a few words.
She crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Cui Shan, saying, "Oh? Why do you say that, cousin?"
"I have practiced my dance day and night for today's sacrifice, and my beast husband can bear witness to that."
"What, my cousin can't stand it because I outdid her?"
"My cousin says I'm a fraud, what proof do she have?"
"Don't forget that the Fox King is here; my cousin can't just throw mud at me like that."
Su Muyao looked at Cui Shan with a leisurely air, then glanced at Lin Ye beside her.
She noticed that Lin Ye was looking at her with infatuated eyes, which made Su Muyao very uncomfortable.
The original Yanran liked Lin Ye, but she didn't like him.
She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the words "Fox King," Cui Shan trembled slightly in fear. She then looked at the Fox King and said, "Ancestor, I did not wrong her. She is different from before; she seems to be possessed."
The Fox King released a faint aura of pressure, but even a small amount of it was unbearable for Cui Shan.
With a "thud," she suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Ancestor!"
Cui Shan gasped in surprise, somewhat frightened.
A sense of fear welled up inside her.
She was terrified that if the patriarch became angry, she would die.
Cui Shan's parents quickly knelt down to plead for her, "Please calm down, Ancestor. It's all our fault for not disciplining her properly."
Cui Shan's mother slapped her on the head, saying, "How dare you disrespect the Ancestor!" She dared to talk nonsense at a time like this; they had spoiled her rotten.
They knew that Cui Shan and Yan Ran had never gotten along since childhood, especially when it came to Lin Ye's affairs; the two cousins would often fight.
"Hurry up and kowtow to the ancestor."
Cui Shan turned pale with fright and kept kowtowing.
With a slight twitch of its tail, the Fox King sent a surge of power directly onto Cui Shan.
"what……"
Cui Shan screamed in pain; all her strength, including her mental power, had been destroyed.
She was like a useless piece of trash.
The faces of everyone in the fox clan changed drastically; they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Even if it's a fight between females within the clan, the ancestor wouldn't interfere. So why is he meddling in something like this today?
Could it be that the ancestor felt Cui Shan was too arrogant because of today's sacrificial ceremony?
The Fox King said calmly, "Cui Shan, you harmed a female of your own kind and pushed her off a cliff. Do you accept this punishment?"
Cui Shan shuddered. Only then did she realize that the Ancestor actually knew about her harming Yan Ran.
Even if the ancestor is in seclusion, with his abilities, he can still understand everything.
Cui Shan whispered, "I'm sorry, Ancestor, I was wrong, please spare my life."
At this moment, Cui Shan transformed into her true form, lying on the ground, unable to move, and her voice was extremely weak.
But she was still begging for mercy in fear.
Lin Ye then turned his gaze away from Yanran, but he felt the ancestor's gaze sweep over him, a warning.
Lin Ye had to keep all his thoughts to himself.
"You and Lin Ye will be confined for a month and are not allowed to step out of the room."
"Yes."
Su Muyao looked up at the Fox King. She could feel that he was protecting her and was biased towards her.
This feeling stirred something within her.
It's as if punishing them serves their own interests.
Moreover, a month is more than enough time; by then, she should have already left this world.
……
After the sacrificial ceremony, the Fox King left to go into seclusion again, and Su Muyao and Sang Yao returned to their own house.
Sang Yao did not rest and began weaving cloth.
Su Muyao looked at him and said, "Sang Yao, aren't you tired? It's getting late, you should rest early."
Sang Yao said, "I'm not tired. I want to finish weaving this cloth."
He wanted to use the silk he spun to weave cloth for her and make a garment, because the silk he spun was invulnerable to swords and spears and could be used for self-defense.
She was so good to him, and there was nothing he could do for her, so he wanted to do these things for her.
Su Muyao listened to the sound of the loom, observed it for a while, and then went to the side to draw a new loom on the wooden board with charcoal.
“Sang Yao, look, I’ve improved the loom. Using this style of loom makes weaving more efficient and faster.”
Sang Yao had worked hard spinning silk before, and now he's started weaving cloth. Seeing how hard he was working, Su Muyao thought she should make things easier for him.
However, perhaps because he is a golden silkworm, the silk he spins is extremely precious, so he can only spin a small amount of silk each day.
Fortunately, she has managed to improve his health over the past month or so.
Looking at the loom on the wooden board, Sang Yao knew at a glance that this one was much better.
His heart stirred again, and he gazed intently at Su Muyao.
He didn't know exactly what she looked like; he could only imagine her appearance through her eyes.
She was so gentle and beautiful that he often felt she was a beast goddess descended to earth, not an ordinary beastman.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, I just feel that my wife has many secrets."
He used to call Yanran his wife out of necessity, but now he calls her his wife willingly.
It was as if his heart was fluttering uncontrollably, yet he dared not express it.
