Chapter 898 - 884: The Lake

When mentioning Wutong and thinking of Teng Lixuan still talking about phoenix beastmen, Su Muyao felt a suffocating discomfort in her heart.

Instinctively, she felt disgust and dislike.

Wen Nanxi affectionately kissed her brow, "Alright, if you don’t like it, then we won’t mention it in the future."

"Do you want to take a stroll around?"

Wen Nanxi couldn’t bear to see her unhappy.

So he thought of taking her for a walk to distract her.

Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."

Wen Nanxi lifted Su Muyao into his arms, then put a hood on her, carefully shielding her from the wind and sand.

He treated her as if she were a precious treasure.

In his heart, she was the jewel at the center of his heart.

Truly, he feared she might melt if kept in his mouth or might fall if held in his palm.

Holding this cherished person, Wen Nanxi had no desire to let go, wishing he could hold her forever; and it would be even better to merge her into his heart.

Having her in sight at all times is what makes him feel at ease.

Admiring her adorable demeanor, he couldn’t resist but bent down to kiss her brows and lips.

"Mmm..."

Su Muyao’s eyelashes quivered; she actively embraced Wen Nanxi, pressed her lips to his, and responded vigorously.

Until, breathless, she sensed the changes in his body, Su Muyao blushed, "Weren’t you going to take me for a walk?"

Speaking, her voice was somewhat tender, wanting nothing more than to bury herself in Wen Nanxi’s arms.

Wen Nanxi’s throat moved forcefully.

After so much time, he had no self-control over her.

He fiercely suppressed the snake beastman’s nature within him, lowly murmuring, "Alright, I’ll take you out for a walk."

Wen Nanxi carried Su Muyao to a marketplace area in the erstwhile Snake King City.

After bringing her there, he still held onto her.

Su Muyao wanted to get down, but Wen Nanxi whispered, "Be good, let me hold you; the wind and sand here are fierce."

While holding her, he used superpowers to shield her from the all-invading wind and sand.

Su Muyao said, "It’s inconvenient this way; how about you carry me?"

She also wanted to cling more closely to Wen Nanxi, thinking it would be more convenient to be carried.

"Alright."

Wen Nanxi was naturally gentle, and even more so towards Su Muyao; he had no temper.

Wen Nanxi then carefully set Su Muyao down.

Looking at Wen Nanxi’s actions, Su Muyao felt a bit embarrassed, thinking she’s not so fragile.

At this moment, Wen Nanxi treated her like this, but during the contract, in his frenzy, he didn’t care if she had the strength.

After setting her down, Wen Nanxi squatted in front of her, "Be careful."

"Okay."

Su Muyao directly lay on Wen Nanxi’s back, and he carefully supported her, carrying her.

This way, as Wen Nanxi moved, Su Muyao leaned against his back, allowing for a better view of the surroundings.

Though this place was abandoned, there were many stone building constructions, resembling ancient ruins; Su Muyao felt a sense of novelty.

It was like visiting historical sites in previous lifetimes, similar to viewing ancient history relics.

She felt a touch of history.

Deep down, she secretly hoped this place could be restored.

If restored, it would surely be beautiful.

"Once this entire area was a marketplace, offering all kinds of goods, with stone houses on both sides serving as shops..."

Wen Nanxi explained to Su Muyao step by step.

Su Muyao could envision how it must have been.

"It’s such a pity that this place is all abandoned now."

Su Muyao saw a large dry circle, "What is this place?"

This massive circle stretched beyond the eye’s reach, not covered by wind and sand, somewhat peculiar.

"This was once a massive lake, the marketplace of Snake King City established here."

In inherited memories, he saw the Snake God standing here, gazing at the starry sky, with a lonely silhouette.

Suddenly, Su Muyao seemed to feel a summoning force, likely divine power, her heart string couldn’t help but beat rapidly.

She got down from Wen Nanxi’s back, couldn’t resist moving closer, stepping in.

Yet as if held back by some barrier, she couldn’t step in.

Wen Nanxi grabbed her hand, "Why do you want to enter this place?"

"I seem to feel divine power inside."

Just like that lake at the time.

Perhaps below here, there are Divine Stones with divine power.

Her feelings were deeply complex; she hoped to find these Divine Stones, yet hoped there were none here.

Because this decided whether Wen Nanxi could become the Beast God immediately.

Her heart ached, feeling uncomfortable.

"Divine power?"

Wen Nanxi found it incredible, releasing his superpower but was blocked by the barrier, feeling nothing.

Su Muyao, however, could feel it.

"But can’t enter."

Wen Nanxi tried using his superpower but did not open it.

Not knowing why, when it didn’t open, Su Muyao felt a hint of relief.

Su Muyao tried with her Wood Element Ability, but it didn’t work either.

They could only return for now.

On the way back, Su Muyao actually saw some injured Snake Beastmen digging for spirit plants in the desert.

Upon seeing Wen Nanxi and Su Muyao, they hurriedly knelt, "Greetings, King, Queen."

In their hearts, Wen Nanxi was their King, who saved all their lives.

He was their hope as snake beastmen.

Otherwise, they would have been killed by demon beasts long ago.

"What are you doing?"

Su Muyao asked curiously.

They respectfully explained: "In response to the Queen, several beastmen are badly injured, nearly done for, needing these spirit plants to brew medicines."

Su Muyao’s face changed, "I see your injuries aren’t great either; let me heal you first."

"This... how can we trouble the Queen."

They couldn’t believe it.

Besides the clan doctors, could the Queen also have medical skills?

They cautiously looked at the King and found he did not stop them.

Su Muyao smiled, "It’s nothing."

Speaking, she released Wood Element Ability, her superpower remotely healing their injuries.

Since these beastmen had external injuries, not severe ones.

With her now Level 6 Wood Element Ability, she could heal several people at once.

Stunned by the sight of fully healed injuries, no longer limping, wounds no longer aching, completely healed.

They doubted their eyes.

One reacted, bowing urgently: "Thank the Queen, thank the Queen..."

Due to the harsh environment and scarcity of herbs, with many wounded clansmen, medications weren’t enough.

Even if the trading teams bought spirit medicine from the Bird Tribe, it wasn’t enough.

So for non-life-threatening external injuries, they were ignored, prioritizing the severely injured clansmen.

Unexpectedly, the Queen possessed such formidable medical skills.

No, this was Healing Ability.

Eyes shining brightly, they suddenly saw hope for their tribe.

No wonder the King loved the Queen so dearly, always thinking of her.

Moreover, their Queen was so kind and benevolent, disdaining not snake beastmen, and willing to heal them.

All were moved to tears.

Though cold-blooded snake beastmen, their hearts weren’t cold; they knew what mattered.

Displaying loyalty, feeling their lives belonged to the Queen, but the King saved their lives.

So they felt speechless.

After healing them, Su Muyao asked Wen Nanxi to take her to see the clan doctor.

She wished to help with her Wood Element Ability.
