Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 300: Hatred

Su Muyao followed the system’s guidance and found a book on the innermost bookshelf; this ancient text was also a leather scroll.

She knew that in ancient times, there were old written traditions, and Beastmen liked to record things on leather scrolls.

For some reason, she could immediately understand these ancient writings upon first glance.

After looking at it briefly, Su Muyao’s expression instantly became heavy.

"It says here that during ancient times, the direct lineage of Thunder Beastmen indeed bore the surname Xuanyuan. They could awaken the spirit beast bloodline within their bodies through special methods in the clan, evolving into spirit beasts. But ever since the ancient war, countless elites from their clan suffered casualties, the Yun Clan declined, and subsequent Yun descendants could no longer awaken the spirit beast blood and evolve into the mightiest spirit beast bloodline,"

"The descendants of the Yun Clan divided into several branches to seek opportunities, attempting to awaken their inner spirit beast blood generation after generation."

"This ancient text seems more like a journal left by Yun ancestors, who have high hopes for Yun descendants, hoping they can awaken the spirit beast bloodline, upgrade to spirit beasts, and lead the entire Yun Clan back to peak glory."

The system spoke: "By this saying, Thunder Beastmen have more than just one branch of Yun Clan; there could be another branch of Thunder Beastmen in the Unknown Zone of Cang Beast Continent."

"Yun Qinglan’s father is named Xuanyuan Bin; he surely comes from the Xuanyuan Clan. Perhaps it’s the Xuanyuan Clan’s Thunder Beastmen who have summoned Yun Qinglan over."

"Normally, only those with kinship bonds can summon people, akin to the Xiao Clan summoning their branch members through residual power in the Family Head Token."

"Since they are of the same clan, they shouldn’t harm his life."

Listening to the system’s analysis, Su Muyao also somewhat agreed, but she was still doubtful, "But if that’s the case, why did they summon Yun Qinglan over?"

The system pondered and said: "You see, the Thunder Beastmen ancestors stated that their descendants must find ways to awaken the spirit beast bloodline and restore the Thunder Beastmen’s glory, maybe Yun Qinglan has high talent, thus being sensed and valued, summoned back."

"It’s also possible that Xuanyuan Bin himself has a strong bloodline, and upon learning Xuanyuan Bin has a child, they summoned him over."

Su Muyao listening to this reasoning felt it made sense too.

"Once we reach the Unknown Zone of Cang Beast Continent, let’s first visit the Xuanyuan Clan."

Su Muyao read more ancient texts, gaining a certain understanding of the Yun Clan and even Thunder Beastmen.

Beast Emperor City

Due to King Chu’s rebellion, all major powers and families that aligned with him were implicated. Some families tried to resist, but the Empress deployed forces and crushed them with an iron fist.

Having fully recovered, the Empress took swift actions; those involved in the assassination and rebellion, including related forces, were prosecuted, and she consolidated power in a short time.

Among them, the Xu Family supported King Chu by providing substantial Crystal Coin support, resulting in all Xu Family Beastmen being imprisoned when the plot was exposed.

The Xu Family mansion and assets were confiscated too.

Thus Hua Linye did not need to personally seek revenge anymore.

He didn’t even need to dirty his hands.

Hua Linye personally went to the Ministry of Justice Prison to see his mother, the Xu Family Head.

"It’s Linye, Linye, you must save us."

Seeing Hua Linye arrived, the Xu Family members hurried to the bars asking him to rescue them.

"Linye, you are now the Princess’s Beast Husband, just say a word to the Princess to let us out."

"Yes, it’s just a matter of you saying one word."

"If the family hadn’t given you the spot back then, you wouldn’t have been able to marry the Princess and wouldn’t have everything you have now."

"To be honest, everything you have now should have been He Jing’s..."

The Xu Family’s attitude when talking to Hua Linye was still like before.

Except previously, their attitude was more vile, not even calling his name, directly insulting him.

Now they are prisoners and need Hua Linye, so they call his name.

Hua Linye saw their faces, a sarcastic curve formed at the corners of his lips, "What you’re accused of is treason, set by the Empress herself; it’s not something I can fix with just a word."

Xu Hesi’s face twisted, "That was all King Chu’s doing, unrelated to us. Besides, everyone knows the Empress favors Su Muyao; you can’t even manage such a simple thing."

"This just shows you are useless, not favored by Su Muyao."

"Exactly, Linye, it just shows your incompetence. Had Su Muyao married He Jing, our Xu Family wouldn’t be like this."

"Linye, considering the Princess’s status and beauty, she can choose any Beast Husband she wants, but if something happens to the Xu Family, you have no maternal family backing you up. When you age and lose your charm, with so many young Beast Husbands around her, will she still remember you?"

"So only your maternal family is the most reliable."

Hua Linye looked at their repugnant faces, listened to their words, only to find it extremely ironic.

"The words you say make me sick."

Hua Linye’s comment changed the faces of the Xu Family instantly.

"What do you mean?"

Hua Linye curled his lips in taunting laughter, "What do I mean? Have you forgotten what you did to me?"

"You pushed me to marry instead back then, even tried to kill me, have you forgotten?"

Back then, the wife master was interested in Xu He Jing, the Xu Family looked down on the wife master and feared she would die on the Exile Road, so they let him marry instead.

Now they act as benefactors, truly laughable.

"Linye, don’t falsely accuse us. When did we ever want to kill you? If it weren’t for the Xu Family, you wouldn’t have been able to marry the Princess, don’t be ungrateful."

The Xu Family Head’s face darkened further, "Linye, you are my son, are you really not going to care about your mother’s and siblings’ survival? This tarnished reputation will only make the Princess detest you like she did your father."

"Trash is just trash."

The Xu Family Head knew precisely what to say to hit Hua Linye’s sore spot.

Hua Linye’s eyes flickered with a furious flame, "Oh, the Xu Family Head dares to speak; wasn’t it you who poisoned me with fire poison to ensure my death?"

"Wasn’t it you who killed my father? You are merely my enemy."

"Rest assured, I’ve collected evidence of everything you’ve done. I will present it to Her Majesty the Empress. You were meant for exile, but I think it’s better you die."

"I’m only here to see you as prisoners, not to rescue you."

Everything these people did to him is remembered; letting them die like this is certainly too easy.

But he will never save them, nor let them live.

The Xu Family Head listened to this, enraged, "Wretch, dare you do this."

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes were sharp as he bit out his words, "You dared to kill my father, let others humiliate my father; you dared such deeds, I dare let you die."

The Xu Family Head’s gaze darkened, "Don’t you want the fire poison cured?"

Back then, she feared Hua Linye wouldn’t be easy to control, so she poisoned him with fire poison, hoping for his silent death outside.

Hua Linye taunted, "Oh, the Xu Family Head’s schemes might fall short; the wife master has already cured my fire poison; rest assured, I’m going to live well."

"And watch as all of your Xu Family meet their end."

Everyone saw Hua Linye’s expression, realizing he was being sincere.

Just as Hua Linye finished speaking and prepared to leave, a sudden voice rang out, "Third Young Master, if I tell you a huge secret, about your father’s secret, can you save my family?"

"Xu Kui, what are you trying to do!"

The Xu Family Head stared at her confidant, eyes wide in rage, directly shouting angrily.
