Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 458 - 455: It Works

Xiao Jihan carefully observed the pyramid, noticing a thin halo under the sunlight.

Xiao Jihan said, "There’s a barrier around the pyramid. I’ll go break it first."

Xiao Jihan understood Su Muyao’s determination to rescue Wen Nanxi, knowing he must carefully breach the barrier.

If the barrier is strong, breaking it from within would be dangerous.

Such a perilous task was not something Xiao Jihan wanted Su Muyao to undertake.

Su Muyao grabbed onto Xiao Jihan and said, "No, this barrier looks very strong. We should observe first."

She planned to find the weak spot of the barrier before taking action.

In her space, she had many magic artifacts given by Wei Jinmo, including those to break barriers, which might be useful.

She was just worried it would make a commotion, possibly attracting Nan Feng.

Nan Feng’s strength was formidable; she could use the Reversed Scale against him, but she wasn’t clear about the full power of the scale or Nan Feng’s true strength.

Therefore, caution was necessary. Confronting Nan Feng rashly would also endanger Xiao Jihan.

Su Muyao knew rescuing Wen Nanxi was extremely dangerous, and she had prepared thoroughly, even considered sending Xiao Jihan away to avoid risking him.

She couldn’t bear the thought of losing another beast husband; it would drive her insane.

But Xiao Jihan was stubbornly insistent on accompanying her on this matter.

There was no other choice.

So Su Muyao had to ensure safety not only for the rescue but also for Xiao Jihan.

Su Muyao revealed a trace of her superpower to probe the barrier’s aura, silently locating its weakness.

However, even a weak spot still held the strong power of the barrier set by Nan Feng.

Su Muyao took out the Sea Clan Magic Artifact given by Wei Jinmo, intending to break the barrier at this weak point.

But upon contact, the barrier began to shake, with snake patterns forming on its surface. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

This indicated the barrier was set by a Snake Beastman, imbued with their superpower.

If the barrier was forcibly breached, it would certainly alert the Snake Beastman who set it.

Su Muyao knew it must have been Nan Feng.

She quickly retracted the Magic Artifact, fearing it would cause a huge commotion.

At this moment, the system spoke, "Host, use the Reversed Scale. It belongs to the Snake God and possesses powerful Primordial Spirit Power, capable of easily breaking Nan Feng’s barrier. Being of the same origin, Nan Feng won’t notice it."

Hearing the system, Su Muyao reacted.

She took out the Reversed Scale, took a deep breath, and carefully placed it on the barrier’s weak spot.

She thought of silently opening a gap in the barrier for her and Jihan to enter without being discovered.

Perhaps sensing her intent, the Reversed Scale emitted a faint light, merging into the barrier, which opened a gap sizable enough for both her and Xiao Jihan to enter, without a sound.

Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "It really worked."

"Thank you."

Su Muyao gently touched the Snake God’s Reversed Scale, then carefully placed it in her bosom before entering the barrier with Xiao Jihan.

Perhaps Nan Feng felt secure with the barrier, so he didn’t station guards outside.

But even if there were guards, Su Muyao was not worried.

She had prepared Invisibility Talismans for herself and Xiao Jihan.

With the talismans, they easily found the pyramid’s entrance, stealthily bypassing the guards at the door to enter the tower.

Inside the tower, there were guards at every interval.

Su Muyao found that many of these guards possessed Level 18 strength, a high rank in superpower strength on the Beast World Continent.

Alone, one or two could easily overpower many Beastmen.

Yet, in this pyramid, they were merely guards.

The system quietly noted, "Host, most guards here are Snake Beastmen."

"But they are not Ancient Celestial Snakes, just ordinary Snake Beastmen. It’s rare to see Snake Beastmen outside, yet here there are quite a few."

Su Muyao communicated with the system through her thoughts, "Looks like Nan Feng gathered them here."

Su Muyao felt that the aura of these Snake Beastmen guards was different from the ones she saw through the temple.

These Snake Beastmen exuded a chilling aura.

Su Muyao cautiously held her breath as she moved deeper into the pyramid, which resembled a labyrinth, but fortunately, she could sense the aura emanating from Wen Nanxi, feeling the summoning force.

She believed that by following this summoning force, she would find Wen Nanxi.

Following the summoning force, she moved towards the lower levels, where eternal ghostly flames illuminated the corridor, casting eerie shadows of snake murals on the stone walls.

Xiao Jihan walked ahead of Su Muyao, vigilantly watching the surroundings to prevent any danger.

His moon-white robe almost blended with the shadows in the dim passageway.

The passage forked again at the end, leading to different paths.

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, who sensed something and looked back, signaling to her subtly.

He pointed at the left side of the corridor wall, where it distinctly differed in texture from other areas, clearly an entrance to a secret chamber.

Guided by the compelling force felt at her heart, Su Muyao knew Wen Nanxi was in there.

Examining the left side of the wall, she noticed something odd and incongruous about the snake’s eye in the mural there.

She stepped forward to touch it, a thought flashed across her mind. She nodded to Xiao Jihan, then pointed at the snake eye.

Xiao Jihan quietly set a barrier before the secret door so that the sound of it opening wouldn’t reach outside.

After setting the barrier, Su Muyao finally traced her hand over the snake eye, triggering the hidden door to open, revealing a descending path.

Instantly, a damp, chilling wind swept from the chamber, more biting than the aura felt upon entering the pyramid, laced with the scent of blood and a chaotic blend of dissipating spiritual power, creating a discomforting atmosphere.

Su Muyao descended the steps quietly, each step quickening the summoning force, as if an invisible hand tightened around her heart, making her fingertips tingle.

She nearly lost her balance, prompting Xiao Jihan to step up and steady her, "Be careful."

At that moment, Su Muyao’s heart throbbed painfully, a ringing echoing in her ears.

She strove to suppress the pain and hastened downward.

Arriving at the lower level, turning a corner, Su Muyao finally saw the chamber.

Her pupils narrowed sharply.

In the corners stood bronze pillars inscribed with snake patterns, cold chains hanging from their tops, embedded deep into a green bamboo-colored serpent body on the floor.

A beautiful Green Bamboo Snake body lay there, its scales should have gleamed like rain-drenched grass but now mostly shed, revealing bloodstained flesh beneath, while the remaining scales were dim and shrouded in a dusty haze.

The serpent’s form lay powerless on the ground, its tail occasionally twitching faintly, indicating life.

With just one glance, Su Muyao’s eyes reddened, trembling as she whispered, "Nanxi!"

She knew without a doubt that this was her Wen Nanxi.

The summoning force at her heart and the instinctive ache affirmed this was Nanxi.
