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

Chapter 453 It’s not an illusion
She didn't know why her heart ached so much when she met the snake god's eyes.

It was as if they had known each other for a very, very long time.

Su Muyao wanted to ask the Snake God if they had known each other before.

The feeling was so intense that it made her heart ache terribly.

But the Serpent God said he had no memory of the past.

Even if she asked that question, it would be meaningless.

When the Snake God saw Su Muyao's tears, a look of pity flashed in his eyes. He reached out his slender fingers to wipe away the water droplets from the corners of her eyes. "Don't cry."

Su Muyao was startled and reached up to touch her eyes. "Did I...did I cry?"

She wiped her eyes and realized that she had indeed shed tears.

But why is she crying here? "Why am I crying?"

The Serpent God looked at Su Muyao's tears, a sorrowful expression appearing in his eyes. He gently wiped away her tears, then stroked her hair, as if clumsily comforting her, "Don't cry, it will be alright. The person you want to save will be saved. It's okay..."

He gently coaxed her, seemingly afraid that she would cry and unable to bear seeing her tears.

Although the Serpent God was born sacred and noble, and had almost no emotions like those of ordinary beasts, his voice was filled with deep warmth at this moment.

Su Muyao had a strong feeling that the gentle appearance of the Snake God was very similar to the feeling she had of Wen Nanxi.

Wen Nanxi also liked to touch her hair to comfort her, making her feel very gentle and at ease.

But she knew that he was not Wen Nanxi at this moment.

Su Muyao realized she was crying, and quickly suppressed the sorrow in her heart.

She looked at the Snake God with her watery eyes, "Snake God, why do you have multiple bodies? Is this some kind of secret technique?"

"Did it split off automatically, or is there another reason?"

Su Muyao wanted to know the reason behind it and to understand the secret of the Snake God.

The ancient nine-headed serpent must have some bodily secrets unknown to ordinary people.

The snake god naturally couldn't bear to deceive Su Muyao, so he explained, "Logically speaking, when one is in danger, one would sacrifice one's snake body, which is equivalent to one's life, just to save oneself."

"If you see three snake bodies, each with one head, it means the events you experienced were more complicated."

“Normally, it wouldn’t split so completely.”

The serpent god now only has a wisp of remnant will, which will soon disappear, along with all its memories.

There are many things that even he doesn't know.

"Then I only saw three identical ancient celestial serpents. Are the other serpent heads, representing the ancient celestial serpents, all dead, or were they inherently difficult to kill?"

The serpent god whispered, "The ancient celestial serpent possesses divine power and blood. In critical moments, it must have various secret methods to save its life, making it difficult to die. However, although it is not easy to kill, there are still stronger forces in this world. Perhaps they have a way to kill the other serpent heads. Now, only these three weak lives remain."

The snake god glanced at Su Muyao with a sigh of helplessness and pity. His figure became increasingly transparent, and the mist grew thicker.

"Lord Serpent God, what's wrong?"

"I'm disappearing. Protect yourself, take good care of yourself. My Reverse Scale acknowledges you as its master; only you can use it..."

Su Muyao anxiously asked many more questions until the lingering resentment of the snake god disappeared and the fog in front of her also vanished.

Su Muyao stood still, holding a box in her hand, inside which was that piece of reverse scale.

If these things weren't still in her possession, she would have thought she was hallucinating.

The moment the snake god disappeared, Su Muyao felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something had been ripped out of it.

She didn't understand what was happening; she just felt a sense of loss. When she obtained the reverse scale, everything before her eyes vanished, and all the scenes she had seen disappeared instantly.

Su Muyao found herself standing in front of the ruins once again.

The scene before her was still the abandoned temple in reality, not the intact temple she had seen in the past, which she had traveled through a long period of time.

"My lady, my lady, are you alright?"

"It was strange just now. Even though you were right next to me, it was as if I was shrouded in mist."

Xiao Jihan had been searching for Su Muyao for a long time, but he couldn't find her in the mist.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Fortunately, the fog has now completely dissipated.

Xiao Jihan looked Su Muyao up and down carefully, making sure she was unharmed before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so anxious just now.

When Xiao Jihan observed Su Muyao closely, he noticed the box in her hand. Although he was surprised, he did not ask any further questions.

If his wife wanted to tell him something, she would naturally tell him; if she didn't want to, he didn't want to burden or pressure her.

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan and took the initiative to speak: "Jihan, I just seemed to see things from a very long time ago through these abandoned buildings."

"Hmm, I feel like it might be a scene from 200,000 years ago..."

Su Muyao briefly recounted what she had seen to Xiao Jihan.

As she recounted these events, Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, thinking that the palace murals she had seen in a cave seemed to feature the Ice Wolf mythical beast among the mythical beast totems.

Did Xiao Jihan's ancestors also have divine blood?

However, now is not the time to investigate those things; we should save Wen Nanxi first.

Hearing Su Muyao's words, Xiao Jihan was also shocked. However, after a moment of shock, he regained his composure and said, "In that case, Nanfeng is not the main body. Therefore, he does not have the natural advantage of suppressing Wen Nanxi. If he has you as his adversary and the power of the Serpent God's former primordial spirit, even if he cannot kill Nanfeng, he can still restrain him."

"As for what the stronger power that harms the Serpent God is, we don't know right now, but perhaps we can find out some things through Nan Feng."

In fact, ever since Xiao Jihan re-formed his contract with his wife and entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be a stronger force controlling something in the Beast World Continent.

It seems that this force is suppressing the Beast World Continent, preventing the Beast Gods and even the Beastmen from gaining greater power.

Every time the Beast World Continent moves in a positive direction, it is almost destined to experience a cataclysmic catastrophe.

"We can't figure these things out right now, so let's go save Wen Nanxi first."

Su Muyao looked at the exhausted Xiao Jihan. They hadn't dared to rest along the way, as this dense forest was fraught with danger.

"It should be safe here. Let's rest here for the night."

Perhaps this place was once a temple to the Snake God. Even though it has become ruins, Su Muyao still feels safe here.

They rested there for one night, and the next day at dawn, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan continued their journey.

As they walked on, they came across piles of snake bones, exposed above the sand and dust.

Some snake bones are extremely large.

The system awoke from its slumber and, upon seeing this scene, exclaimed in surprise, "How can there be so many snake bones? How many snake-beastmen died here before?"

"These snake bones are clearly those of snake-beastmen. Did many snake-beastmen once live here? How did they all die and turn into bones?"

The sight of so many snake bones of snake-beastmen exposed in the dense forest and sandstorms is quite eerie.
