Chapter 981 - 967: Unusual

Certainly, here is the translation of the provided novel segment:

Mei Qingchen was almost unable to recover from the shock of hearing this news.

He felt as if he was dreaming.

His heart felt as if it had exploded with scalding flames.

A warm tide surged up to his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with a faint blush.

His entire eyes were gradually being stained with a haze of red, as if covered by a thin layer of burning fire, gradually taking on a watery hue.

Not only that, his chest was heaving fiercely, and his breathing became chaotic.

The emotions swirling in his chest were so intense that they nearly drowned him.

Su Muyao watched Mei Qingchen’s state, and the sacred, cool person suddenly showed such an expression that softened her heart, she said softly, "Why are you crying?"

Mei Qingchen choked and said, "I’m too excited, it’s hard to believe."

"Wife, it is true, isn’t it? I didn’t hear it wrong, right?"

Mei Qingchen’s voice was very soft at this moment, afraid to disturb anything.

Su Muyao put Mei Qingchen’s hand on her belly and said, "Of course, it’s true."

Mei Qingchen dared not move his hand.

Once he regained his composure, he suddenly seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, "Wife, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Was the journey tiring before? Also, you haven’t eaten anything for half a day, are you hungry..."

Mei Qingchen was deeply worried about Su Muyao.

He felt the previous journey was too rushed, and with the attack from the Youluo Tree Beastman, he was unsure if it had disturbed her.

Mei Qingchen was truly worried now.

Su Muyao believed that it was his concern that led to chaos.

Indeed, not telling him before the journey was the right decision, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to travel normally.

"I’m fine, very well."

"Don’t forget, I am currently at Level 30 with Wood Element Ability, my body is in great condition."

Su Muyao knows her body situation the best.

"Moreover, Master also said that Zaizai is fine."

When Su Muyao looked at him, her expression was extremely serious, then she held his hand and injected her Wood Element Ability into his body, soothing his emotions.

His body was constantly trembling, always in a state of emotional excitement.

Feeling the rich warmth enveloping him, Mei Qingchen’s emotions stabilized.

He came back to his senses and said, "I wonder what the Plant-type Beast Cub will be like."

Su Muyao looked at him and said, "You don’t know either?"

Mei Qingchen shook his head and said, "There’s nothing in the inherited memories."

Moreover, he was a Black Panther Beastman from a young age, he knew even less about these.

"No worries, we can ask the High Priest."

The Mo Rong Clan is Plant-type Beastman, they surely have some experience.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "No hurry, it’s so late, let’s ask tomorrow, for now, let’s rest."

The Mo Rong Clan Beastmen were also shocked and needed rest.

Mei Qingchen nodded and said, "Okay, then I’ll cook for you."

Speaking of eating, Su Muyao’s expression changed several times.

This is the world of the Mountain and River Map, giant beasts and forests are depicted based on real scenes within the Mountain and River Map.

Inside here, it forms its own world, just like reality.

But Su Muyao knows this is false.

Su Muyao said, "Eat the food from the space."

Fortunately, she can open the spatial area now, and the resources in the space can be used.

No matter how long they stay, there’s no need to worry about food issues, as the fields within the space can continuously produce crops, and the warehouse stores food from many seasons.

...

This way, Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen temporarily stayed here.

Just over half a month later, the sky started snowing heavily.

The cold wind howled, blowing through the cave, letting cold air into the cave.

Fortunately, Su Muyao has Wood Element Ability, and can resist the cold.

Even so, she took out thick beast skin from the space to wrap herself.

Just a moment, the ancient trees and mountains outside were completely covered by flying snow, the forest gradually lost its original color, bit by bit covered by thick, pure white snow.

In the deep night, Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen lit torches inside the cave for warmth.

"Snow came so quickly, Mo Shan High Priest previously said that according to past rules, at least another month is needed before Snow Season will arrive."

"It’s a month early?"

Mei Qingchen’s expression was solemn and said, "This weather is unusual."

The Mountain and River Map was drawn by Heavenly Dao with the Mountain and River Brush, so naturally it’s a world on its own.

It’s essentially another independent, sealed world established by Heavenly Dao, where everything truly exists.

If that’s the case, the seasons should be quite regular.

Su Muyao felt the gusts of cold wind and the heavy snow feathering down, her expression also became solemn.

At this time, Mo Shan High Priest came to the outside of the cave, "Miss Su, Mr. Mei."

Having stayed here for more than half a month, Su Muyao also knows this High Priest is called Mo Shan.

Su Muyao was also not accustomed to others calling her the Holy Female, so she asked Mo Shan High Priest to address her by name.

Mo Shan High Priest naturally dared not, he felt it was disrespectful to the Holy Female, so he called as such.

Of course, he also asked Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen to call him directly by his name.

Su Muyao said, "Mo Shan, please come in."

"Yes."

Only then did Mo Shan enter the cave.

He held several thick pieces of beast skin, "Miss Su, the sudden heavy snow made it extremely cold, these are the beast skins the clan collected, cleaned, and dried previously, please use them."

Although Su Muyao has only been living here for more than half a month, the Mo Rong Clan Beastmen are genuinely kind to them.

They wanted to keep good things for them.

But because of the threat from giant beasts here, their things weren’t many.

Su Muyao opened her mouth and said, "We have beast skins here, please give the skins to the clan members."

Mo Shan waved his hand and said, "It’s the clan’s heartfelt intentions; they insisted I bring the beast skins over. With the sudden arrival of Snow Season, no preparations were made. If we don’t take out the skins, everyone is worried Miss Su might be frozen."

Mo Shan insisted on letting Su Muyao accept.

Mainly because Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen didn’t accept the beast meat given before, making everyone uneasy.

Seeing Mo Shan persist, Su Muyao could only accept.

Also, these beast skins were indeed very good, completely intact and very large, with thick fur.

Seems to be beast skins from giant beasts, better than the ones she’s using now.

Moreover, Mo Rong Clan Beastmen washed and dried the beast skins well, they even have the scent of sunlight.

"Thank everyone for me."

Mo Shan was flattered and said, "Miss Su, you’re too polite, it’s overwhelming everyone."

He always felt that the Holy Female’s noble status should be supreme, usually needing only to command them to do things.

But Miss Su didn’t act this way.

She was very approachable, considerate to everyone, the clan members all felt Miss Su was particularly good and wanted to treat her well, but dared not disturb her.

They could only use their own way to be good to her.

Mei Qingchen asked, "Snow Season arriving one month early, the weather is somewhat abnormal."

Mo Shan showed a worried expression and sighed, "We don’t know what’s happening, we’ve been here for about ten years, initially, we were not accustomed, later we explored the patterns, carving time on the stone wall, every year, around that time Snow Season arrived, even if early, it would be a few days early."

"This sudden arrival of heavy snow a month early and so cold, is indeed unusual."

"No idea what’s going on."
