Chapter 878 - 864: Abnormality

Su Muyao didn’t want to cry, but she just couldn’t control it.

Her vision became increasingly blurry, and when a wisp of spring breeze passed, that figure dissipated, merging into the golden light.

Su Muyao sniffed, quietly wiped away her tears, and controlled her emotions.

Then she tightly held Xuan Yan and headed towards the south.

No matter what, at least he was willing to look at her once after becoming the Beast God.

He hadn’t become entirely cold and heartless.

She didn’t blame him, that’s how Beast Gods are.

He didn’t want to become a Beast God either, but for her and to save the world, he still became one.

Speaking of it, she did owe him.

She hadn’t been better to him; she hadn’t properly made amends.

Xuan Yan didn’t turn back; he seemed to feel something, but he also knew his wife must want some quiet time now.

So he increased his speed, heading quickly towards the Southern Bird Clan.

On the way, they would stop occasionally to rest and sleep, then replenish their food.

Fortunately, there was the Space Bracelet given by Xuan Yan, which could store a lot of supplies, so they didn’t have to hunt for food every time they rested.

All they needed to do was eat the food from the bracelet.

Most of the food Su Muyao had roasted, and she had made quite a few snacks and instant noodles for convenience.

...

When they left the northern territories and entered the middle boundary, they felt the climate change in the sky.

Initially sunny and clear skies suddenly became a scene of strong winds and thunderstorms, even raining.

Such wind and rain conditions were not suitable for flying.

Even with Xuan Yan’s Level 6 strength, carrying Su Muyao and them while flying was still a bit challenging.

Moreover, he had to strain himself using superpowers to shield them from the wind and rain.

But flying like this was too slow.

Su Muyao could feel Xuan Yan’s struggle, it pained her, and she said, "Xuan Yan, let’s stop, find a cave to rest a bit, or find a nearby tribe to stay at until the rain stops before setting off."

"Xuan Yan, I don’t want anything to happen to you, I really need you."

Now with only Xuan Yan by her side, she really needed him and developed a deep dependence on him.

Hearing those words from her, Xuan Yan’s heart softened tremendously and was filled with heartache.

He couldn’t wait to reach the Bird Tribe immediately.

But they were only at the middle boundary segment, still quite a distance from the south.

"Okay, let’s find a cave to rest first."

There should be many tribes in the forest, but the situation within the tribes is unclear, and it’s better not to recklessly enter.

Xuan Yan, flying in the air, had great vision.

He found a cave on a hillside, a place relatively sheltered from the wind and rain.

He carried them into the cave.

Su Muyao and the three Zaizais were all drenched.

She quickly took out matches and Flame Stone from the Space Bracelet.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t cold in the north, but in the middle area, it was.

Although it was spring, the wind was still cold.

Xuan Yan hurriedly released his Fire Ability to dry the clothes and beast fur on Su Muyao and the three Zaizais.

During the drying process, Xuan Yan’s feathers also dried.

The firewood was ignited by the flames, with Flame Stone inside, and Su Muyao gradually felt warm.

She took out the pot again.

Xuan Yan had already built a stove with stones on the firewood, and Su Muyao placed the pot on it to use directly.

Then she took out the water bucket from the Space Bracelet, poured it, and cooked vegetables, meat, noodles, adding poached eggs and seasonings.

This way of cooking is more convenient and more nutritionally balanced.

"It’s fortunate to have this bracelet with space to store things."

Not like when she first came here, staying in the cave with Jihan and Da Bao, having to hunt for food in the freezing cold, also needing to protect against wild beast attacks.

"If there was a way to make a bigger space, it would be great."

The space was only a few dozen square meters, limiting what could be stored.

If the space were larger, more could be stored.

Su Muyao smiled and said, "It’s already very good like this, the supplies are enough for us until we reach the Bird Tribe."

Of course, provided there won’t be delays on the way.

Looking at the current climate, I don’t know when the rain will stop either.

Xuan Yan looked at the rain outside with a sombre expression and said, "It might have entered the rainy season."

Su Muyao was somewhat surprised, "Entering the rainy season just as spring begins?"

In her understanding, the rainy season should start in summer.

Xuan Yan explained, "As far as I can remember, the rainy season has no pattern, a random rain could lead into a prolonged rainy season."

"So the Southern climate isn’t as cold as the North’s, but the prolonged rainy season also prevents the Beastmen from hunting properly, and some weaker Beastmen could not survive the rainy season."

"But the not-so-cold weather in the South is also suitable for Beastmen’s reproduction, so there are more Beastmen in the South."

Of course, where there are more Beastmen, tribal conflicts are also more frequent.

This is inevitable.

Their Bird Clan is a large tribe, with a High Priest like the mother, who can vaguely sense when the rainy season will come, so preparations can be made in advance.

For this reason, the High Priest’s status is very high.

But he did not inherit his mother’s ability and is not a High Priest.

"I don’t even know when this rain will stop."

If it continues, they’ll have to stay in the cave.

Su Muyao still preferred the sunshine, the sunshine made people feel comfortable.

At this moment, the system spoke, "Host, this is all because of the Beast God’s absence, which causes the weather to be so abnormal."

"If the Beast God returns, it won’t be like this, the climate will have patterns, the rainy seasons will also have patterns, and they won’t be overly long."

Su Muyao understood, she needed to quickly find the Beast Husbands and help them return to become the Beast God.

After cooking the noodles, Xuan Yan first served Su Muyao and them.

It was always like this; he would first take care of Su Muyao and the Zaizais, thinking of himself last.

The caring Xuan Yan pained Su Muyao, so she served a bowl to Xuan Yan and said, "You should eat well too."

Xuan Yan responded warmly, "Okay."

For Xuan Yan, being where they are, even encountering the rainy season doesn’t matter, as long as he can be with his wife, it’s good.

After eating, their bodies all warmed up.

But no one felt sleepy for the time being, so Su Muyao told stories to the three Zaizais.

She told them stories of the snail and the tortoise and hare race, Sima Guang breaking the jar, and other stories.

They were stories with both entertainment and educational value.

Some romantic fairy tales, however, didn’t suit the Beast World’s environment, so Su Muyao didn’t tell them.

But even these simple stories captivated the three Zaizais.

In the cave, only the crackling of the firewood was heard as they listened quietly.

Even Xuan Yan was deeply amazed.

His wife was so wise.

You know, the Beast World’s Beastmen acquire knowledge from inherited memories; only Beastmen of extremely high levels possess such wisdom stories.

Xuan Yan was immersed in her voice, unwilling to disturb her.

It wasn’t until very late that the three Zaizais still craved more.

Su Muyao said, "It’s already very late, we can’t listen anymore, you need to sleep."

"I’ll tell you more stories tomorrow."

After all, she could tell many, many stories.

The three Zaizais then went to sleep.

Su Muyao naturally slept leaning against Xuan Yan.

Here, the two had never truly formed a Contract.

Su Muyao leaned in his embrace, listened to his strong heartbeat, slowly felt his chaotic breathing, realized something, and looked up to meet his fiery eyes, saying, "Xuan Yan, why don’t we form a Contract?"

After all these experiences, Su Muyao understood even more the importance of cherishing the Beast Husband by her side.
