Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite

Chapter 773: Chapter 765: Ulterior Motives (Part 1)

The explosion of the signal flower made the entire Thorn Flower Clan even more chaotic.

And the injured and unconscious Su Muyao had long been taken away.

...

When Su Muyao woke up again, it was in an unfamiliar room.

Looking at the unfamiliar room, Su Muyao felt a bit dazed.

The entire room was different from the ones she usually saw and lived in. It was entwined with clusters of climbing flowers, very beautiful, exuding a faint fragrance.

Su Muyao’s expression was somewhat dizzy.

She didn’t immediately react, nor could she guess where she was.

She instinctively wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved slightly, her whole body hurt terribly.

Only then did she realize her entire body was exceedingly weak, wrapped in many ribbons.

The pain made Su Muyao suddenly recall what happened before she fainted, her face changed.

"Is this the Thorn Flower Clan?"

"My Immortal Phoenix Bone!"

Su Muyao’s face turned dramatically pale. She carefully assessed her body, discovering the Immortal Phoenix Bone was still there, and finally relaxed a bit.

Remembering the Thorn Flower Beastman who attacked her, her eyes surged with icy killing intent.

Despite her serious injuries, Su Muyao was already contemplating how to act when that Thorn Flower Beastman appeared again, thinking of how to kill him.

Even if she couldn’t kill him now, severely wounding the beastman would suffice.

Or find a way to leave here.

"System, system..."

Su Muyao felt helpless; why was there no sound from the system?

Su Muyao remained silent, feeling that since entering the Taixu Secret Realm, the system had been somewhat unstable.

Could it be that the rules of the Taixu Secret Realm could suppress the system?

Or make the system sleep?

She even vaguely suspected it might be related to the Plant-type Beastman here.

At that moment, a stunning beastman entered from outside the door.

His posture was noble and tall, with cool white skin and a refined skeletal structure, with a tear mole at the corner of his eye tinged with green.

His exquisite appearance carried a touch of eerie allure.

The instant she recognized him, Su Muyao’s expression changed several times, "It’s you!"

She didn’t expect to see the Vine Clan Young Master, Teng Lixuan, instead of the Thorn Flower Beastman.

Even though she was injured and unable to move, Su Muyao was immediately on guard.

She naturally remembered this man wanted to kill her and take her Immortal Phoenix Bone.

Teng Lixuan seemed to ignore the pale, guarded look on Su Muyao’s face and smiled to himself, "Miss Su, you’re finally awake."

"I worked hard to save you from Ci Zhuo’s side and lost quite a bit of my cultivation for it."

Su Muyao’s gaze darkened with suspicion, "What do you want to do?"

Teng Lixuan held a wooden bowl in his hand, and the soup inside was green.

Teng Lixuan put the bowl in front of Su Muyao and said, "Naturally, to feed you medicine. This is the best medicine for healing your injuries."

"If not for me, you would have already died."

"When I saved you, you were barely hanging on. I spent a great deal of effort to revive you."

Teng Lixuan was actually quite helpless and resistant, but he had no choice; he must do these things.

He felt no affection for Su Muyao.

But after being brought into the sea of consciousness by the Holy Tree and learning some things, he realized he definitely couldn’t harm her. On the contrary, he had to protect her.

Unbelievable!

Whatever Teng Lixuan thought, he showed no trace of it on his face.

He simply continued to feed the medicine.

He spooned a measure of the medicine and brought it to Su Muyao’s lips, "Come, drink the medicine."

Su Muyao avoided it, "What exactly is your purpose?"

Su Muyao felt she couldn’t see through Teng Lixuan at all.

She was sure he wanted her Immortal Phoenix Bone.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted that way before.

Yet now he claims to have saved her.

She didn’t believe it.

But it was clear that the reason she was lying here, still alive, was likely related to Teng Lixuan.

Teng Lixuan observed Su Muyao’s expression and said calmly, "Rest assured, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t wait until now, nor would I save you."

"Do you know how many precious herbs were used in this bowl of medicine?"

"If not for saving you, I wouldn’t bear to use it at all."

Looking back, Teng Lixuan still felt incredibly reluctant.

Su Muyao knew he was right; if he truly wanted to harm her, he wouldn’t waste his efforts.

He didn’t need to drug her, just not saving her would suffice.

"Do you want my Heart Blood?"

The Immortal Phoenix Bone can’t be excavated; if taken, she might not survive again.

Previously, as Su Qingluo, after the Immortal Phoenix Bone was taken, she nearly died. It was Sang Yao who saved her with all his might, but she still died in the end.

Without the Immortal Phoenix Bone, she would die.

But using a few drops of Heart Blood indeed wouldn’t kill her, only make her weak for a while.

Teng Lixuan placed the bowl on the table beside and sat down by the bed, "Miss Su, do I appear to have any motives towards you?"

Su Muyao looked at Teng Lixuan’s expression and simply didn’t believe him.

Plant-type Beastmen have a bias against Animal Beastmen; it’s impossible for him to save her without cause.

"Do you intend to use me to threaten my Beast Husbands? You better not harm them."

Teng Lixuan touched his chin and said, "They’re still fighting with the Thorn Flower Clan."

"I’ve underestimated your Beast Husbands; they’re impressive, one more formidable than the other."

"I used to think you had only two Beast Husbands, but now I know you have three."

Su Muyao wanted to say she had more Beast Husbands than them.

But there was no need to explain anything to Teng Lixuan.

Teng Lixuan said, "How about this, you want to lift the Youluo Fragrance. You probably need my clan’s prized treasure, the Vine Heart Pearl."

"If you cooperate well, drink the medicine and recover, I can give you the Vine Heart Pearl."

Upon hearing about the Vine Heart Pearl, Su Muyao couldn’t maintain her composure.

Her heart skipped a beat, "You..."

Su Muyao wanted to say something but was too cautious to speak further.

Why did Teng Lixuan know how to remove Youluo Fragrance?

"You don’t need to be surprised. As the Vine Clan’s Young Master, our ancient books naturally contain some old records, like those about Plant-type Beastmen, for example, how to remove Youluo Fragrance applied by Youluo Tree Beastmen."

"Maybe the method was unknown before, but after research, a solution was found."

"And the Vine Heart Pearl is one of the medicinal leads."

"Am I right?"

Su Muyao looked at Teng Lixuan with scrutinizing eyes, "I indeed need the Vine Heart Pearl. If you’re willing to give it to me, you should state a condition; otherwise, I won’t believe you."

Their relationship was not cordial; earlier, he attacked her, now suddenly saving her, it seemed so odd.

Teng Lixuan understood that without saying something, she wouldn’t believe him.

If she weren’t injured and immobile, she might have attacked him immediately upon waking.

To prevent future issues, he spoke, "I did save you, indeed with ulterior motives. Moreover, the Vine Heart Pearl is our clan’s treasure, meant to repair our Teleportation Array to find a way to lead our clan out of this place."

"Giving it to you requires a reason, like allowing me to be your Beast Husband, we’d be a family, thereby making it reasonable to give it to you."

Su Muyao, upon hearing these words, almost choked on her breath.

She felt as if struck by lightning.

She could hardly believe it, even less agree, "Wait... what did you say?"
