Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 453 - 450: Hard to Believe
However, the Snake Witch is not omnipotent and cannot predict everything.
When a rainstorm broke out in the rainy season, flooding several places, some beastmen from certain tribes began to harbor resentment towards the Snake Clan Tribe, the Snake Witch, and even the Snake Temple.
They felt that the Snake Witch did not care about their lives, thinking that even though they devoutly worshiped the Snake God, they still could not escape the onslaught of the rainy season’s downpours.
During that time, the Snake Witch arranged for warriors from the Snake Clan Tribe to go rescue other beastmen in the tribes submerged by the rain, yet they still did not receive any gratitude from the other beastmen.
In their hearts, dissatisfaction and resentment had already taken root.
It seemed that whatever the Snake Clan Tribe did was taken for granted, and rescuing them was also taken for granted.
Because they believed they had offered food as sacrifices to the Snake God of the Snake Temple.
The Snake Witch could naturally see such subtle changes.
"Master Witch, we only need to manage the affairs within our own tribe. Why should we care about the lives of other beastmen?"
"We saved them and still got blamed by them."
"Exactly, they even disrespect our Snake God, thinking that worshiping the Snake God is useless."
In the eyes of the Snake Beastmen, the Snake God was their faith, something they believed in from birth.
They could not stand others saying disrespectful things about the Snake God.
When they heard such words, they felt only anger.
There even had been situations where Snake Beastmen fought with other beastmen.
This only heightened the dissatisfaction among other beastmen.
In such rage, some beastmen even shouted that they wanted to destroy the Snake God Temple.
"This is the Snake God Temple of our Snake Tribe. If you do not worship, you may not come, but we absolutely do not allow you to destroy the temple. You have no right to do so."
"Yes, disrespecting our Snake God is being hostile to our Snake Beastmen. You can stay away from our Snake Tribe in the future."
"It’s not like we begged you to offer sacrifices to the Snake God Temple. The temple was built by our tribe."
The Snake Beastmen felt these beastmen were being unreasonable.
Yet, due to the flood and the loss of family members, other beastmen had already lost their rationality.
In their hearts, there was only fury.
"Our tribe sent offerings of food to the Snake God. The Snake God should protect us. How can we let floods submerge our tribe, causing the deaths of many beastmen?"
These people tried to cause trouble, but due to the strong power of the Snake Beastmen, they were no match and eventually had to leave.
The Snake Witch watched this scene and sighed.
She donned special sacrificial clothing and stepped onto the altar in the center of the Snake God Temple, dancing under the stars.
Su Muyao could see that the Snake Witch’s cave dwelling had murals, depicting the sacrificial dance.
The dance performed by the Snake Witch was precisely the one from the murals.
After she finished, it seemed she gained some mystical power. She then sat down, took out a tortoise shell, and began divination.
When the tortoise shell burned in the charcoal fire and cracked, the expression of the Snake Witch changed.
She then looked in Su Muyao’s direction and said, "Child, you have seen it all."
Su Muyao’s expression changed in surprise. She looked around and saw no other beastmen, only herself.
There was no Xiao Jihan nearby either; it was as if a mist separated her from Xiao Jihan.
She pointed to herself and asked, "Are you speaking to me?"
The Snake Witch sighed and said, "Yes, I am speaking to you. That I can see you across the cycles of time means you have a connection to our Snake Clan and the Snake God."
Only then did Su Muyao realize that the Snake Witch was indeed talking to her.
"Master Snake Witch, today the Snake Beastmen are so well-liked, but did you know that later the Snake Beastmen were not welcomed, and other beastmen thought of them as cold-blooded Snake Beastmen, thinking they were emotionless. Why was this? What exactly happened?"
If Su Muyao had not seen how welcomed the Snake Tribe and Snake Beastmen were at this time, she might have thought it was just the prejudice of beastmen.
But having seen it, she felt that something must have happened.
The Snake Witch looked at Su Muyao with sorrowful eyes and said, "Because something stole the power of the Snake God, took the power of the Snake Beastmen, and altered many things, leading to all the changes later on."
"These changes are ultimately unfair to my Snake Beastmen; countless Snake Beastmen in our tribe should have perished, and their living conditions were extremely difficult."
Saying this, the Snake Witch’s voice carried a hint of sorrow.
It seemed she could glimpse at something, yet could not see the whole picture.
As if there was a barrier isolating her power.
Su Muyao’s eyes deepened, "What is it?"
The Snake Witch shook her head and said, "I don’t know, this power’s presence will destroy the entire Beast World Continent, and I cannot glimpse anything more."
"All I know is that because you can see these things, it signifies that the opportunity and hope to change it all lie within you."
Su Muyao’s heartstrings trembled, "In me?"
Why was it that so many things in the Beast World Continent were connected to her?
"Yes, because I can sense that you have a part of our Snake God’s mark, you are chosen as his wife."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s heart skipped a beat, and her breathing momentarily stopped.
"The... Snake God?"
She only had one Snake Beast Husband, and that was Wen Nanxi; she had only formed a contract with Wen Nanxi alone.
No one else.
In an instant, Su Muyao’s mind went blank, overwhelmed by this revelation.
After a while, she found her voice and said, "My Snake Beast Husband is not the Snake God; he is an Ancient Celestial Snake Beastman."
The Snake Witch sighed softly and said, "Have you ever seen the kind of Snake Beastman known as the Ancient Celestial Snake among my tribe?"
Su Muyao shook her head, "No."
She saw many scenes from this Snake Tribe, and there were many types of Snake Beastmen, but none were the Ancient Celestial Snake.
The Snake Witch pointed to the top of the temple with her finger and said, "That’s because the Snake God we worship is the Heavenly Snake."
"Only the Snake God is the Heavenly Snake, possessing immense power."
"It is said that a long time ago, the Heavenly Snake among the Snake Beastmen was enlightened by the Heavenly Dao and became a god here."
"Therefore, this place was built as the Snake God Temple."
"Perhaps later on, the temple collapsed, the faith in the Snake God faded, and the living conditions of the Snake Beastmen changed, so the Snake God was no longer the Snake God."
Following the direction pointed by the Snake Witch’s finger, Su Muyao looked up, seeing that the ceiling of the Snake God Temple was painted like the top of the sky dome, depicting a Nine-headed Serpent Body.
The mural was colorful, depicting the Nine-headed Serpent Body in a green bamboo color, each head appearing just like Wen Nanxi.
"Could it be that the Ancient Celestial Snake is really a Nine-headed Serpent Body? It’s not like a normal Snake Beastman?"
At this moment, Su Muyao’s heart was racing, feeling as if she had stumbled upon some grand secret, an almost unbelievable one.
"Thump thump thump..."
Su Muyao’s heart was beating exceptionally fast, almost as if it wanted to leap out.
She couldn’t tell if it was due to nerves or excitement.
The Snake Witch spoke with sorrow, "Our Heavenly Snake God has nine lives. If the Snake God you see is just a regular snake head and body, it means he’s been through a lot, and this is his last life."
"Each snake head represents one of his lives."
"No wonder the contract mark on you, signifying you as the bride of the Snake God, is just a part. It means he is not complete."
