Chapter 1063 - 1047: The Secret of Restriction Protection

Sai’er’s words were like a thunderclap, exploding right over Teng Lixuan’s head.

Teng Lixuan had already been suspicious about his own origins, especially back in Fusang Forest, when that Demon Beast had mistaken him for some Lord Wu.

It even said his moves were very similar to that Lord Wu’s.

He was in a complete panic.

And that day, because that Demon Beast used a move that stimulated his Spirit, some inherited memories were triggered in him.

Lately he kept dreaming strange scenes.

At first they were very vague, but gradually they became clearer.

In his dreams he really did see many Parasol Trees, and a lot of red clouds.

"What substitute? How could I possibly have anything to do with that Lord Wu of yours."

"He colluded with your Demon Beasts. I would never collude with Demon Beasts. The ones I hate most in this world are you Demon Beasts."

As Teng Lixuan said this, killing intent surged around him, razor sharp.

He wished he could end this Demon Beast right away.

That so-called Twelfth Demon King’s Avatar.

"You’re just talking nonsense."

Teng Lixuan’s face went pale, and the first person he looked at was Su Muyao.

In the past he didn’t really care about anyone; at that time he only cared about the Vine Clan.

But ever since he started following Miss Su, and saw how good she was, he didn’t even know why, he just cared more and more about her.

He could tolerate anything else, but he couldn’t tolerate standing on the opposite side from Miss Su, and even less tolerate having hurt her in the past.

That so-called Lord Wu had definitely hurt Miss Su.

And how could he ever do such a thing.

"It’s true, you’re very similar to our Lord Wu. The moves you used just now are also very similar to Lord Wu’s. It can’t be wrong."

"Back then Lord Wu didn’t like his wife-to-be, so he used his own Essence Blood to transform into another self to bear the Immortal Phoenix, to carry that Immortal Phoenix so the Immortal Phoenix could sleep comfortably."

"Lord Wu himself had powerful ability, so even a single drop of Essence Blood transformed was still very strong. Outsiders couldn’t see anything wrong."

Teng Lixuan’s hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly. His whole body trembled, and his face grew even paler.

Su Muyao was a little shocked.

She walked over to stand in front of Teng Lixuan and said softly, "Don’t listen to their nonsense."

"You are you, and that Wu Loteng is Wu Loteng."

"You are a complete self, unrelated to anyone else. There is no such thing as you being a substitute."

At this moment Su Muyao naturally remembered that dream she had before—dreaming of herself on Cangwu Luoxia Mountain, when she was the Immortal Phoenix, as Su Qicai.

And that Wu Loteng didn’t like her at all.

He was dissatisfied with the marriage set down by the Heavenly Destiny Book.

So he simply wasn’t willing to act as the Parasol Tree to carry her, to provide her energy.

His expression had been so indifferent, and his words extremely cold.

Back then, it seemed she couldn’t even take human form yet, and was still just the body of the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast.

She hadn’t fully awakened her wisdom either.

She didn’t understand many things, including feelings.

But if Teng Lixuan was that tree formed from Essence Blood, then no matter what it used to be, he had always carried her, always acted as the Parasol Tree to provide her energy.

Silently doing all that.

So Teng Lixuan was in no way at fault.

"Teng Lixuan, don’t listen to anything anyone else says. You only need to listen to me."

"I believe in you."

"Other people’s attempts to sow discord are useless."

As Teng Lixuan listened, all the unease in his heart suddenly dispersed. His eyes reddened slightly as he looked at Su Muyao, moved. "Miss Su, you’re so good to me."

In this world there was actually a female who trusted him without reservation.

No matter what his origins were.

How could he not be moved.

"Miss Su, I want to... want to..."

Right now, intense emotion surged in his chest, hot and swelling and overflowing; even his eyes were misting over.

He really wanted to become her Beast Husband.

Su Muyao naturally didn’t know what Teng Lixuan was thinking at this moment; she merely comforted him softly, "It’s fine."

Su Muyao even lifted a finger to gently tap his arm, pouring her Wood Element Ability into his body to help guide it.

The trace of Dark Demon Qi that had just risen on him instantly dispersed.

Sai’er’s face changed drastically. "You... you two..."

"How could you possibly know?"

He had just secretly placed demon energy on Teng Lixuan, wanting to control him while his emotions were in chaos.

A Plant-type Beastman who hadn’t yet been fully washed and received inherited Power, whose body was still weak, and who was related to their Lord Wu—of course easy to control.

Who would’ve thought they wouldn’t fall for it at all.

"You Beastman females are really broad-minded."

He ground his teeth as he glared at Su Muyao.

In their Demon Clan, Demon Females were all vicious and selfish. If they sensed any betrayal from a Demon Male, or felt he was untrustworthy, they would kill him on the spot.

No matter what the prior relationship was, they always put their own safety first.

Better to kill mistakenly than let him go.

Why did this female trust him so much.

What’s more, this male Beastman wasn’t even her Beast Husband.

At a glance he could tell there was no Contract between them.

"And he’s a Plant-type Beastman. Animal Beastmen and Plant-type Beastmen are mortal enemies. Yet you actually let him stay by your side."

"You’re not afraid he’ll stab you in the back and kill you?"

Su Muyao’s lips curved in an icy arc. "I’m not afraid. As for you, I’m going to kill you."

Sai’er said, "Killing me is useless. I’m just an avatar."

"Even if you kill my avatar, you can’t kill me."

Sai’er was extremely pleased with himself, to the point he even dared to provoke Su Muyao.

Because he spoke to Su Muyao like that, a chilling light flashed in Di Fu Yuan’s eyes, and he tightened his grip.

A powerful force wrapped around this avatar of his, releasing superpower like countless needles stabbing into Sai’er.

"Ah... ah..."

Sai’er screamed in agony over and over.

But Di Fu Yuan didn’t let him go.

No matter how he struggled, it was useless; even his attempt to use a Demon Clan Secret Technique failed.

Su Muyao wanted to learn a few things, but because this person had no physical body and was just a mass of black mist, her elixirs were useless.

She could only interrogate him directly. "You just mentioned that Lord Wu, that Wu Loteng. What is his relationship with your Demon Clan?"

Sai’er said in disbelief, "You actually know our Lord Wu’s name."

"How could you know?"

"No, you... you’re with the Black Dragon King. You... you’re that Immortal Phoenix..."

He remembered that the Black Dragon King’s wife-to-be was the Immortal Phoenix.

This was a marriage personally decreed by the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was especially partial to the Immortal Phoenix.

They said she was the Heavenly Destiny Girl.

"It’s you!"

Su Muyao’s expression was ice-cold. "You just need to answer the question."

Di Fu Yuan kept applying his superpower.

It specialized in dealing with Demon Beasts.

He screamed, "Of course he has close ties with our Demon Clan. He is... ah..."

"I can’t say, I can’t say..."

He had just started to say something, but couldn’t get it out, as if he’d triggered some Restriction.

Su Muyao’s expression hardened.

Di Fu Yuan said, "Looks like this is the key information—that’s why it triggers a Restriction."

Non-critical information, they could say.

Before, when they interrogated Demon Beasts, that information was important to them, but not necessarily important to the Demon Beasts.

But this Wu Loteng clearly mattered greatly to them, a Beastman important enough to be protected by a Restriction.
