Chapter 54: Purification
Wen Nanxi knew what Su Muyao was worried about, so he said directly, “We encountered a beast tide of mutated beasts.”
Speaking of this, Wen Nanxiās expression grew grave.
Something felt strange; the mutated beasts seemed to be targeting them specifically.
Whatās more, there were high-level mutated beasts among them, making the situation difficult to handle.
Hua Linye still had the fire poison in his system, so he inevitably suffered severe injuries.
Upon hearing this, Su Muyaoās expression changed.
It felt wrongāhow could a beast tide of mutated beasts suddenly appear?
“Now is not the time to talk about this. Put him down first; let me treat him.”
Hua Linyeās face was pale and weak, looking broken and on the verge of death. Su Muyao dared not delay.
Moreover, his body seemed intensely hotāhis fire poison had flared up as well.
Wen Nanxi had no choice but to lay Hua Linye down.
Lying there, Hua Linye met Su Muyao’s gaze and spoke weakly, “Wife Master, if I die, I want to be buried nearby. Even in death, I want to be able to see Wife Master.”
Hua Linye’s foxy eyes looked at Su Muyao, shimmering with ripples of light that seemed to hold extremely complex emotions.
Though he was in a wretched state, he possessed a broken, fragile beauty.
The seductive aura he once carried had been restrained, replaced by a desolate sorrow that enveloped him.
Su Muyaoās expression shifted slightly. “You won’t die.”
She first unwrapped the bandages on Hua Linyeās injury. When she saw the wound on his waist, she was shocked by the sight.
The wound was deep, and a faint black mist seemed to linger within it.
Unnoticed by the others, Mei Qingchen had returned at some point.
He took one look at Hua Linye, his face sinking. With a serious expression, he said, “This was caused by the claws of a high-level mutated beast. To think the wound is this deep.”
Mei Qingchen carried a dampness about him, his hair still slightly wet. It was clear he had gone somewhere to bathe before returning.
Hua Linye gave a miserable smile. His foxy eyes, having lost their usual luster, were now gloomy and dull. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Exactly. So before I completely turn into a wild beast, you should kill me.”
He was just unwilling.
He hadn’t yet avenged his father.
Dying here like this… no one would care about him, no one would care whether he lived or died.
As time passed, he would be completely forgotten by those around him.
Su Muyao paused in her cleaning of the wound upon hearing these words.
A thought flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.
She suddenly remembered: if an ordinary mutated beast injured a beastman, timely treatment would suffice.
But if a high-level mutated beast caused the injury, and the wound was corrupted by the beast’s influence, it was easy to be invaded by dark energy.
If a beastmanās body was completely overtaken by this black mist, they would turn into a wild beast devoid of reason.
Generally, before fully transforming, the beastman would commit suicide.
Even if they didn’t, those around them would kill them to prevent an uncontrollable beast from emerging.
No wonder Hua Linye was acting like this.
Xiao Jihan said in disbelief, “How could you encounter a high-level mutated beast?”
High-level mutated beasts possessed intelligence; they generally didn’t appear in the forest or hunt beastmen personally.
They only controlled ordinary mutated beasts to fight.
Wen Nanxiās gentle eyes were now filled with biting frost. He said coldly, “There may be a conspiracy behind this!”
Someone was deliberately targeting them.
But without evidence, it was hard to deduce the truth.
He suspected it was the work of those people from the Beast Imperial City.
Before coming to the Bei Luo Tribe, he had investigated the area.
Even after arriving, he had gathered much information, and no one had ever seen a mid-level, let alone high-level, mutated beast around here.
Even if mutated beasts were sighted, they were merely ordinary ones.
Ordinary mutated beasts weren’t difficult to deal with.
Seeing Hua Linye in this state filled Xiao Jihan and the others with a sense of sorrow.
Hearing this, Su Muyaoās expression changed.
Recalling her predecessor’s memoriesāthinking of Liu Mengyan, the female Jiang Mochuan cherished in his heart, and the events in the Beast Imperial Cityāher gaze darkened.
She felt strongly that this was an assassination attempt targeting her.
Someone wanted to kill her; that was beyond doubt. They wanted her dead.
On the road to exile, the attacks from mutated beasts and the assassins that kept popping up were endless.
But back then, Shen Ci’an was still there, and Mei Qingchen had done his utmost. The five beastmen husbands had fought with everything they had to protect her, allowing her to reach the Bei Luo Tribe.
Once they arrived at the tribe, those people had quieted down.
Now, were they planning to pick them off one by one while Wen Nanxi and the others were out hunting for food?
How ruthless.
Realizing this, two flames of anger burned in Su Muyao’s eyes.
Yet she spoke with unwavering firmness, “You will be fine!”
After cleaning Hua Linyeās wound, Su Muyao channeled her wood-elemental ability to rapidly heal him.
Then, to everyone’s amazement, Hua Linyeās most severe wound began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Mei Qingchen, witnessing this, was too shocked to speak.
He had never seen a female possess such an ability.
When she repaired the sword spirit before, he hadn’t fully believed it.
But for her to rapidly heal a severe wound caused by a high-level mutated beastāthat went far beyond mere medical skills.
She actually possessed such a powerful ability!
Xiao Jihan and Wen Nanxi watched, finding it equally incredible.
They felt her abilities far exceeded their understanding.
Or perhaps, they had never truly known her.
Hua Linye had prepared himself for death, never expecting the wound to heal.
Su Muyao smoothed over the smaller injuries on his body as well.
However, there was still some black mist lingering on himāresidual energy from the high-level mutated beast.
But Su Muyao had already dispelled some of it.
At the very least, his life was no longer in danger, and he wouldn’t be quickly corrupted into a wild beast.
Hua Linye was excited and in disbelief. Having regained some strength, he was no longer so weak.
He sat up and suddenly hugged Su Muyao, exclaiming excitedly, “Wife Master is amazing! I can live! From now on, my life belongs to you.”
She had saved him twice now.
The scent on her body was so warm and pleasant.
Su Muyao tried to push him away, but Hua Linye said, “Wife Master, I felt terrible just now. I don’t want to let go. Just let me hold you for a moment. Be good, just for a moment.”
Hearing his softened, vulnerable tone, Su Muyaoās heart softened. “Hua Linye, there is still black mist in your body. Only when I completely remove it will you truly be safe.”
“So, let go of me first.”
Hua Linye froze, looking at Su Muyao with an even more incredulous gaze. “Wife Master, you can remove all of it?”
Removing even a part of it was already unbelievable to him.
Females had no abilities, only spiritual power to soothe a male beastās mental rampage. Most could only offer spiritual comfort.
But Su Muyaoās ability was far too powerful.
Mei Qingchenās expression was grave as he stared deeply at Su Muyao. “Could it be… she also possesses the power of purification?”
The moment these words were spoken, neither Wen Nanxi nor Xiao Jihan could maintain their calm composure.
