Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 436 - 433: Putting On an Act

Su Muyao saw him suddenly stop in his tracks, and her breath hitched.

Even though she knew this was a scene from the past and he couldn’t see her, the thought of this person’s cold ruthlessness still made her tense.

When this Hall Master stopped walking, everyone in the hall instinctively held their breath, fearing a careless act could cost them their lives.

They had heard of the Hall Master’s immense power, yet he was notoriously unpredictable.

If he became displeased, what if he killed them?

In the presence of such a powerful Hall Master, they felt as insignificant as ants.

The Hall Master stopped and slowly turned around.

The direction he turned to just so happened to be where Su Muyao was standing.

The system exclaimed, "Host, no way, he wouldn’t be looking at you, would he?"

"Why do I have this feeling that he is looking at you?"

"But this is the past world. He shouldn’t be able to see you or sense you."

"Besides, both you and Xiao Jihan are invisible to him."

Su Muyao’s heart tightened, instinctively sensing danger.

The Hall Master’s gaze penetrated through Su Muyao, aligning perfectly with the elder behind her, "Elder Gao, the task you arranged earlier failed. Do you realize your crime?"

Hearing these words, Elder Gao trembled in fear and immediately fell to his knees, "Forgive me, Hall Master, it was my carelessness, I failed to have that female surnamed Su killed."

"We sent many men, yet they were completely wiped out."

"We don’t know what happened; one beastman who had just joined Bright Hall even self-destructed in the end, possibly due to interrogation about Bright Hall’s secrets."

Bright Hall had special methods to restrain their subordinates. Once within Bright Hall, revealing critical information would trigger certain restrictions, causing self-destruction.

If someone under them self-destructed, they could gather some information from the remaining Life Token.

So that female was by no means simple.

The system seemed to remember something, "Host, I recall when you were returning to the Bishui Tribe with Bi Zhixu, you encountered an ambush by Bright Hall’s Law Enforcement Disciples along the way. They wanted to kill you for no reason and knew some details about you, and I wondered why. Could it be related to this main body?"

Su Muyao said, "When we interrogated that fox beastman Law Enforcement Disciple, he said Elder Gao of the Fourth Sub-Hall ordered them to take me back, regardless of life or death."

"At that time, I indeed found it strange, as I had just arrived at Cang Beast Continent, and normally, no one should have known my information."

"If it’s this main body, then it all makes sense."

The system said, "So he wanted to kill you from back then, or rather bring you back, but he likely underestimated you, just assigned the task to the elders below him. This elder didn’t act personally, but ordered his subordinates to carry out the task."

"They probably didn’t expect that everyone they sent was killed by you."

"So they believe they underestimated you before, and that’s why this main body acted personally?"

This was the system’s conjecture.

Of course, Su Muyao thought the same in her heart.

Things she previously didn’t understand were suddenly clear now.

Su Muyao recalled something, her eyes narrowing dangerously, "It seems that before then, Wen Nanxi had already fallen into his hands."

"And who knows what he did to Wen Nanxi."

Su Muyao deeply missed Wen Nanxi.

"Host, do you think Wen Nanxi might have given these pieces of information to him voluntarily?"

The system couldn’t help but wonder.

Without needing to think, Su Muyao directly and firmly said, "Impossible. Wen Nanxi would never voluntarily tell him anything. Wen Nanxi would never betray me."

"The main body may look exactly like Wen Nanxi, but they are different."

Su Muyao made a clear distinction between them.

No matter when, she always trusted Wen Nanxi.

The system knew Wen Nanxi was the host’s first Beast Husband, always treating the host with utmost care and kindness. The host’s feelings for him were unique, even slightly dependent. As the system, it understood this.

But it worried Wen Nanxi might be controlled by the main body, potentially harming its host.

Its host couldn’t afford another life-or-death encounter.

...

Hearing Elder Gao’s words, the Hall Master said indifferently, "This was my task, originally meant for you to handle personally. Yet you merely sent your subordinates, and the task failed."

Although the Hall Master’s voice was calm and emotionless, Elder Gao was terrified.

He trembled and stammered, "Forgive me, Hall Master. I failed the task, and I deserve to die..."

Elder Gao knelt there, constantly kowtowing.

The Hall Master merely lifted his hand slightly, and with a faint downward pressure, there was a "boom" sound.

Elder Gao was crushed into fragments by a force in front of everyone.

Elder Gao died immediately, and in such a brutal way, shocking all the beastmen present in the hall.

Each of them trembled, unable to stand steadily, kneeling back down.

They dared not breathe heavily, nor utter a word.

The system couldn’t help but speak, "Host, this main body is too powerful. Even with the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm, you are not his match."

"He might not even have used one-tenth of his power and could crush a master in an instant."

"Facing such an enemy, direct confrontation is not an option."

In any case, the system felt they should be self-aware; its host seemed strong now, but couldn’t compare to this main body. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Who knows how long this main body has existed? Even the system couldn’t gauge his power.

Xiao Jihan’s pupils constricted, clearly understanding how powerful this person was.

He knew avenging his wife was currently an unattainable dream.

Xiao Jihan felt he must devise some way to quickly become stronger.

...

The Hall Master, having killed an elder, was satisfied with everyone’s terrified reaction. He subtly curved his lips and said, "Elder Xiong."

"I... I’m here!"

Elder Xiong stammered and trembled while answering.

Although kneeling, he continued to shiver, fearing he would meet the same fate as Elder Gao.

They couldn’t have imagined that the seemingly insignificant task back then was issued by the Hall Master himself.

They didn’t know; if they had known, they would have risked their lives to kill that female.

Why would a Hall Master of such noble status and power specifically want to kill that female? Did the female surnamed Su offend their Hall Master?

No matter how much Elder Xiong speculated internally, he dared not show it.

However, this time, the Hall Master did not kill him but said, "I am giving you a chance to atone for your guilt."

"Complete the task, and you live; fail, and you’ll be worse off than Elder Gao."

Everyone’s hearts tightened with even more fear.

They awaited the Hall Master’s task. Could it be another attempt to assassinate that female?

The Hall Master said, "This time, the task is to capture the beastmen of the Bishui Tribe’s caravan. Do not kill them; just bring them to our stronghold, then send a message to the Young Master of the Bishui Tribe."

"Write a letter to Young Master Bishui, telling him to kill his cousin and send the body as an exchange for the tribe members."

"Of course, he won’t kill his cousin; they will come to our stronghold."

"And you need to act out a play."

"This task must succeed without fail."

The system, hearing this, understood everything, "Host, so when Bright Hall captured the beastmen of the Bishui Tribe’s caravan, the main purpose was to lure you there."

Su Muyao’s expression turned solemn, "I knew at the time this was aimed at me, but I didn’t expect the mastermind behind it was him."
