Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 480 - 477: Xuanhuan

The system felt that when its host was deep in thought, he was so focused, but Hua Linye was different; his gaze was always on its host.

If it weren’t a system, its face would be turning red just watching.

Su Muyao turned sideways to look up at Hua Linye, meeting his eyes, only to feel his fox-like eyes carried a dark, swirling vortex, as if they would swallow her whole.

Within them, rippling brilliance intertwined with deep darkness.

With one glance, she couldn’t help but want to drown in them.

Su Muyao suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart; being apart for so long, he must have missed her tremendously.

Moreover, her past death must have been a huge shock to him.

She really ought to make it up to him.

However, she still had many things to discuss with the witch doctor.

But regarding the matters of the Moon Clan, Su Muyao didn’t want to disclose them to the witch doctor for the time being, to avoid unnecessary complications.

She continued conversing with the system, "I know."

But she thought, if she really wanted to save Yue Wuhen quickly, she’d have to return to the Mortal Beast Continent once more.

As for when exactly, she still needed to think about it carefully.

Seeming to have thought of something, Su Muyao asked, "Witch doctor, when your master was saved by Sang Yao, did he give Sang Yao the elixir that can grant a very long life?"

If so, then Su Muyao could be sure that Sang Yao could live for a long time.

She would find some comfort in her heart knowing she might find Sang Yao in this era.

The witch doctor nodded, "Yes."

"My master said that even though Ancestor Sang saved him, he didn’t want to accept anything from him."

"Ancestor Sang only asked my master if there was any Secret Technique to find you, but my master had no way."

"As for the elixir, no matter how effective it was, Ancestor Sang was righteous and didn’t want anything from my master. But my master said that by taking this elixir, perhaps Ancestor Sang would have the time to find you, so Ancestor Sang accepted it, but he also taught my master many things and left him many things."

"Ancestor Sang was truly very, very good."

Though the witch doctor had never met Ancestor Sang, he often heard his master mention him, so he knew what kind of person Ancestor Sang was.

Su Muyao murmured, "Yes, he was indeed very, very good."

It’s a pity that back then in the Resentment World, how long she could stay wasn’t up to her to decide.

But with the elixir, and added with the Cultivation Technique she taught Sang Yao at the time, as long as he continued to improve his strength along with the Witch Clan’s elixir, she believed he’d definitely survive until now.

After a pause, the witch doctor continued, "As for myself, I am a Fox Clan Beastman, personally chosen by my master who taught me, so I became the witch doctor of the Fox Clan."

"Since then, I’ve always stayed with the Fox Clan and haven’t gone to other places. All my abilities were taught by my master, who had an understanding of various places on the Cang Beast Continent."

"My master traveled to many places and left some journals. If Miss Su needs to take a look, I’ll bring over my master’s journals."

The witch doctor held a high position within the Fox Clan because of his strong abilities, having treated many Fox Beastmen, and having lived for tens of thousands of years, he was considered an ancestor among beastmen and thus greatly respected by the Fox Beastmen.

As for his own nature, he was rather indifferent and treated everyone with a mild demeanor.

The reason he was so kind and respectful to Su Muyao was also due to Sang Yao.

Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "In that case, thank you, witch doctor."

She really wanted to see; her master’s journals must contain important information that could be useful to her.

The witch doctor quickly went into the inner room and brought out a thick journal left by his master, handing it to Su Muyao, "Miss Su, this is the journal left by my master."

Su Muyao gratefully said, "Thank you."

When she took the journal and touched it, she discovered it was actually made of very fine paper.

Completely different from the ancient books of today.

Most of the ancient books she had seen before were written on silk, but this journal was made of paper.

It wasn’t coarse but rather fine, with a texture and grain entirely different.

This surprised her, for though rough paper now existed, by logic, paper shouldn’t have existed tens of thousands of years ago.

"Witch doctor, is this paper? Not written on silk?"

"Did the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan have such paper tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years ago?"

The witch doctor’s master was a beastman from a hundred thousand years ago, and if recorded from that time, there shouldn’t have been paper to use then.

The witch doctor explained, "This is also something from the Witch Clan, something given to my master by my great master of the past."

"My master treasured it greatly and used it to record things."

The system listening couldn’t help but exclaim, "The Witch Clan really had good stuff."

"Before the Beast World was still primitive over a hundred thousand years ago, there was such refined paper, even exuding a faint herbal fragrance, just looking at this paper, one could glimpse the Witch Clan’s cultural development, illustrating a rich and brilliant existence."

"It’s likely not just paper, but many things that exceeded the times."

"Could it be because of these things that the Witch Clan was exterminated?"

Su Muyao did not know, but she felt that the Witch Clan had become more mysterious.

"Are these papers made by the Witch Clan?"

The witch doctor replied, "When I was young, following my master, I was also curious. Master explained that this was something the Witch Clan inherently had. There was a tree in the Witch Clan, which seemed like a paper tree, allowing the Witch Clan to have such paper for writing and recording."

"But later the Witch Clan was destroyed, and the ancestral land Wushan was also burned to the ground, leaving no trace, and such trees were long gone."

"So, I also don’t know if such trees genuinely existed, or if what my master said was true."

The witch doctor, having often heard his master talk about the Witch Clan, longed for the chance to see such a rich and brilliant civilization.

Regrettably, such a place could no longer be found.

Beast World Continent no longer had Wushan, nor did it have the Wushan Divine Hall.

Su Muyao too felt a sense of sighing and emotion in her heart.

The system stated, "This isn’t just wondrous; it’s mystical and fantastical."

Su Muyao replied, "This indeed is a fantasy world."

Compared to the world she stayed in during her past life, this was more magical and wondrous, with many things that surpassed her original understanding.

Su Muyao asked the witch doctor many more things, which he answered honestly one by one.

When Su Muyao opened the journal, she found herself unable to understand any of the writing. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"This, witch doctor, why do these characters look different from today’s writing?"

Today’s writing was like hieroglyphics; even if you couldn’t understand them, just by their shape, you could guess a few characters.

But these characters, after a glance, felt entirely foreign and complex to her.

The witch doctor replied, "I can’t read them either. These are unique to the Witch Clan, and their people learn these characters from a young age."

"I initially wanted to learn from my master, but he never taught me, saying not learning was for my own good; he wished for me to live peacefully with the Fox Clan."

He knew his master meant well, not wanting him to experience any events or get involved in anything.

Even if the Witch Clan was gone, their things weren’t easy to learn.

"In the years my master lived with my great master, he learned these characters, so my master could write them."

"Moreover, my master said, his journal will reveal its meanings to the fated one."

Su Muyao understood, which meant she needed to decipher the Witch Clan’s script to know what was recorded in the witch doctor’s master’s journal.

She always felt that the journal contained very important information.
