Chapter 1035: Chapter 1021: Trust

When Teng Lixuan spoke these words, his eyes carried worry and tension.

“But don’t worry, Miss Su, I will do my utmost to protect you.”

Not for any purpose, just the desire to protect her well.

Having not seen her for over a year, Teng Lixuan only realized his feelings for her now, recognizing how much he missed her.

No one had to remind him, nor was there any other reason; his mind was just full of her.

Worried she might get hurt, worried she might encounter danger, sometimes even losing sleep over these thoughts.

No one knew how excited he was when he found her in the woods and saw that it was her.

At first, it all felt unreal.

So looking at Su Muyao, Teng Lixuan was filled with joy.

Su Muyao smiled at Teng Lixuan, “Yes, I believe you.”

Su Muyao naturally trusted Teng Lixuan.

The Fusang Forest was full of dangers; luckily, with Teng Lixuan around, she could learn more about the situation.

“But you also have to take care of yourself and avoid being impulsive and reckless.”

Upon hearing this, Teng Lixuan was immensely moved, a thin mist of tears appeared in his seductive and endlessly charming eyes, “I knew it, Miss Su also cares about me.”

“Miss Su still has me in her heart.”

Su Muyao’s lips twitched, thinking he’s starting again.

Still the same Teng Lixuan, unchanged.

“Stop overthinking, I can use this to hide my aura.”

With that, Su Muyao took out two black elixirs from her space, handing one to Teng Lixuan, “This is an elixir I made using the Hidden Breath Grass from the Demon Clan. It can conceal an aura and hide oneself; it will be safer.”

Having gone to the Demon Realm, Su Muyao naturally gathered a lot of good things.

Xie Guixue almost wanted to give her all the treasures of the Demon Realm.

But she only took some important items and some herbs.

Some magic grasses of the Demon Realm are wonderfully effective and the elixirs made from them have various effects.

This time, they became useful.

Teng Lixuan swallowed it without hesitation.

“Do you trust me that much?”

Most people wouldn’t trust a pitch-black elixir.

Teng Lixuan’s emerald green eyes rippled with laughter, “Of course I trust Miss Su.”

“No matter what you give me to eat, I won’t refuse.”

“Even if it is poison.”

“I’d die for Miss Su without a care.”

Hearing this, Su Muyao quickly covered his mouth, “Stop saying such things.”

Teng Lixuan lightly flicked the tip of his tongue, brushing against Su Muyao’s palm, making her quickly withdraw her hand, “Be serious.”

With such a teasing manner, how can one speak?

Teng Lixuan sighed, “Ah, but I’m speaking sincerely.”

“Miss Su may not believe it, but ever since arriving here and being placed on the outskirts of the altar for repair, I’ve had strange dreams, and Miss Su is always in them.”

“On a mountain bathed in radiant light.”

Teng Lixuan didn’t know why but kept having such strange dreams.

The dreams were all about Su Muyao.

Su Muyao was taken aback; in the Divine Domain Fragment World, she knew that the radiant place might just be the legendary center of the Ancient Wilderness Continent, the Cang Realm, or Cangwu Luoxia Mountain.”

Su Muyao seriously looked at him, asking, “What else?”

Could it be that Teng Lixuan came from that place?

Teng Lixuan shook his head, “No, the rest is very blurry, completely unclear.”

Su Muyao pondered, “Teng Lixuan, that might be where you used to live.”

“Didn’t you say you were sent to the Taixu Secret Realm Vine Clan along with the Holy Tree?”

“Perhaps that is your ancestral land.”

Teng Lixuan turned his head, deeply looking at Su Muyao with his emerald eyes, “If I come from there, I must have known Miss Su a long time ago.”

Um…

Su Muyao dared not answer that statement.

But ever since she returned this time, looking at Teng Lixuan, she indeed felt an indescribable sense of familiarity inside.

But maybe it was just her imagination.

Many things are still unclear, she couldn’t mislead Teng Lixuan.

Seeing Su Muyao’s reaction, Teng Lixuan suddenly felt a bit forlorn.

He seemed to vaguely understand what emotions are.

Teng Lixuan carefully cradled Su Muyao’s hands, misty tears began to fall, a look of pear blossom bathed in rain, “Miss Su won’t abandon me, right?”

Su Muyao was shocked; how come he’s about to cry out of nowhere.

“Don’t cry yet.”

Su Muyao withdrew her hands, handing a towel to him to wipe his tears.

Teng Lixuan wiped his tears, choked up, “I don’t know either, just a bit sad.”

“My chest feels heavy.”

He couldn’t quite pinpoint why.

Su Muyao felt they couldn’t continue this topic, she wanted to shift topics, divert his attention: “You just said, after you came out from the array of Baili Family’s Flame Mountain, the changes in rivers and mountains were caused by Young Master Cui’s cultivation, what happened?”

She knew Cui Liyi is a Chaos Wild Beastman, and also a Destructive Ferocious Beastman, possessing the power of destruction, and the Destructive Black Lotus deliberately beguiled him; could it be he really awakened the Power of Destruction?

Thinking about that, Su Muyao’s heart couldn’t help tightening.

Looking at Su Muyao’s grave expression, Teng Lixuan began, “I don’t know the specifics, but it’s said that the awakening of that Young Master Cui failed, something went wrong with his power, apparently the accompanying power within him went berserk, causing enormous destruction, which led to changes in many rivers and mountains.”

“It may have been then that triggered some opportunity that opened the entrance to the Fusang Forest, and thus I came here.”

Hearing this, Su Muyao realized something and her heartbeat quickened.

She communicated with the system, “System, did you hear? Since Cui Liyi’s awakening failed, does that mean he won’t use the Power of Destruction to destroy the Beast World, and there won’t be any Destruction Tribulation, right?”

That’s what she wanted to prevent all along, to stop Cui Liyi from awakening the Power of Destruction.

Unexpectedly, she succeeded.

But she didn’t know how Cui Liyi’s physical condition was.

At least he is still Zaizai’s father.

The system was also excited, “No wonder, host, I can no longer sense the powerful force of the Destruction Tribulation; it must be that Cui Liyi couldn’t fully awaken the Power of Destruction, so the Black Lotus Petal went berserk, causing great destruction.”

“Even if it goes berserk again, it’s useless.”

Speaking of the Black Lotus Petal, Su Muyao’s gaze turned cold and serious.

She wouldn’t forget the scene when Di Fu Yuan stood against Otherworldly Demons.

The Destructive Black Lotus colluded with the Demon Clan.

Di Fu Yuan sacrificed so much just to destroy the Destructive Black Lotus, but the Black Lotus still had surviving petals.

The system comforted Su Muyao, “Host, anyway, you don’t have to worry about the Destruction Tribulation anymore; the Beast World is temporarily stable.”

Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, thus giving her time to arrange many things and uncover many truths.

Looking at Teng Lixuan, Su Muyao said, “Thank you for telling me all this.”

“But in the Fusang Forest, have you discovered any unusual places?”

“A place that feels off.”

Su Muyao held the Dragon Race Key around her neck; she wanted to quickly find Di Fu Yuan’s dragon body.

She needed to hurry.

Teng Lixuan thought for a moment, then softly replied, “There is, a place called Black Cloud Mountain.”

“There are many naturally formed pure Crystal Stones; those Crystal Stones can aid Plant-type Beastmen in cultivation, contain lots of energy, and can also repair the altar.”

“It’s said that Dragon Clan Beastmen used to be there, so it’s infused with Dragon Breath, forming so many Crystal Stones over the long years.”
