Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 446 - 443: Illusion
Upon hearing these words, Wen Nanxi’s expression shifted, "Are you saying that more than a hundred thousand years ago, there was an Ancient Snake Beastman who looked exactly like me and the original body?"
Su Muyao nodded, "Yes, his name is Jing Chu."
Wen Nanxi reached out a hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to recall, but the name brought no familiarity to his mind.
"Could he be the original body from the past?"
"But the name of the original body was Nan Feng."
Su Muyao speculated, "I feel that Jing Chu couldn’t possibly be Nan Feng. I named him Jing Chu; he has a good nature, bright and kind-hearted, incapable of doing such cold-hearted and ruthless things."
Su Muyao accompanied Jing Chu for those few years, trusting her own judgment.
She believed that Jing Chu was definitely different from Nan Feng.
Jing Chu would never do such cold-hearted and ruthless things, and her appearance had hardly changed. If Jing Chu were truly the original body, seeing her would prevent him from laying a hand on her, no matter how cruel.
She understood the inherent qualities of the young man she had accompanied.
Wen Nanxi said, "Without Emotional Silk, whatever he does, there will be no emotion."
Wen Nanxi had never met this Jing Chu, so naturally, a part of him remained skeptical.
But he trusted his wife’s judgment. Since she spoke this way, there must be reason behind it.
"But if the wife says he isn’t, then he surely isn’t."
"Could the wife describe this to me in detail?"
He still had time; he wanted to accompany his wife a little longer, even if the prolonged burning of his Essence Soul would severely rebound against his body. He didn’t want to leave.
Su Muyao nodded slightly, "Alright."
The two of them sat down next to the grass under the dreamlike trees to talk.
Su Muyao spoke of how she entered the Resentment World and shared everything she encountered regarding Jing Chu.
Including many details.
"Did my kindness toward him make you angry?"
Wen Nanxi hugged Su Muyao with a heart full of tenderness, "Silly, how could I be angry? I know you are kind to him because of me."
Because he looked exactly like him, his wife couldn’t bear to see him hurt or sorrowful, only wishing to save him and help him.
"Initially, I suspected that Jing Chu might have split and turned into Nan Feng."
"But now, it seems that’s not the case."
Su Muyao’s heart harbored many doubts, "But then, why does he look exactly like you? Could he be your past life?"
Wen Nanxi spoke softly, "Have you considered that Jing Chu might also be a split body?"
"Because, based on your descriptions, Jing Chu couldn’t possibly become like Nan Feng, so is he also a split body?"
Ancient Celestial Snakes are exceedingly rare, especially those who appear identical, even down to their auras. It’s likely they are part of one source.
Since arriving at the Cang Beast Continent, he had seen very few Snake Beastmen, let alone an Ancient Celestial Snake.
"Split... split body?"
Hearing this speculation, Su Muyao was momentarily stunned.
She had never considered this possibility.
"But Jing Chu has been himself since birth. How could he be a split body?"
"What we see and feel with the naked eye isn’t always true; sometimes the facts surpass our imaginations."
"Moreover, perhaps even the original body is unaware of Jing Chu’s existence."
"He is the Ancient Celestial Snake Beastman from more than a hundred thousand years ago, possibly knowing a lot we don’t."
"If we can find him, we might understand many things."
But finding an Ancient Celestial Snake Beastman is not simple.
Even he had not sensed the aura of any kindred spirits.
"It’s just that now, more than a hundred thousand years later, whether he still exists and what his existence signifies, no one can know."
"I’ve awakened ancestral memories, yet I haven’t seen this Jing Chu you mentioned."
Listening to these words, within Su Muyao, there was a feeling of disoriented uncertainty.
She even began to question the reality of everything in the Resentment World.
But the Golden Silkworm Beastman Sang Yao had crafted a Golden Silkworm Robe for her, which she brought out with her.
Previously, the Golden Silkworm Robe had protected her.
Thus, she thought everything in the Resentment World had truly happened and existed.
Su Muyao stated, "Nanxi, I have a feeling, an unwavering thought, that Jing Chu is indeed real, and he definitely resides in this world. We just don’t know where he is at this moment."
Wen Nanxi replied, "Since you believe that way, if he is here, only you would be able to find him."
"If he is truly a split body, the original body cannot successfully merge with me, so there’s no need to worry about me."
Su Muyao grasped Wen Nanxi’s hand tightly, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety, "But he’s a madman. I’m worried he will kill you."
"I learned through Time Reversal that during his mating period, he becomes particularly weak. During this time, that’s when we have a chance to rescue you. There must be a way."
Wen Nanxi could feel his wife’s deep concern and nervousness for him.
At this moment, he truly felt his wife’s care and love for him.
With this love, he believed he could find the strength to persist, no matter where he was.
"Rest assured, he’ll only resort to killing me as a last resort. Because doing so would also cause significant damage to him as the original body."
"He is desperate to merge with me to gain more power, anxious to accomplish something."
"The more he craves power and control, the less likely he is to hastily decide to eliminate me."
"He’ll only exhaust all means to merge with me."
Su Muyao whispered, "Indeed, he really is trying everything possible to merge with you."
Previously, the original body Nan Feng had, in order to make Wen Nanxi agree to merge without attachments, pretended to be Wen Nanxi and stayed with her for some time.
During that period, the two even shared the same bed, though there was no intimate interaction; they did sleep in each other’s embrace.
Nanfeng’s disgust for females meant that period was probably a great sacrifice for him.
Ah, so his ultimate goal was still to merge.
However, Su Muyao must prevent them from merging, fearing the disappearance of Wen Nanxi most of all.
Upon hearing Nanxi’s words now, knowing that Jing Chu might also be a split body and that successful merging by the original body is impossible, she felt momentarily at ease.
At this moment, Su Muyao wanted to give Wen Nanxi some life-saving Magic Artifacts, but there was no way.
Because this place was a dream, it was unreal.
Hearing these words, Wen Nanxi seemed to understand something; he felt a deep, penetrating pain in his chest, as if a hammer was constantly pounding his heart, leaving him breathless with agony.
Even the burning Essence Soul felt unstable, his body gradually becoming increasingly weak and transparent.
"Ayao, I... I’ll find a way to kill him."
He felt sorry for his wife; Ayao was so important to him that he would rather be hurt than let her suffer even a single hair, yet she had been killed by Nan Feng once.
"No, no, don’t act rashly, don’t kill him. Perhaps he still has a purpose."
Su Muyao had heard from the Sea Clan that a split body cannot kill the original body, even with a mutual destruction mindset. If the split body dies, the original body is merely heavily injured and wouldn’t actually die.
She absolutely could not let Wen Nanxi take such a risk.
"Promise me you won’t act impulsively."
"But he caused your death."
"You must have been in so much pain then."
Ayao’s experience of coming back to life was unknown to him; she must have been in terrible agony.
Yet he could do nothing.
Wen Nanxi loathed his helplessness at that moment.
Su Muyao’s eyes now carried a trace of sorrow and loneliness. She herself was relatively fine, but she felt she had wronged Yue Wuhen.
She had no idea when Yue Wuhen could come back to life.
Yet she separated things quite clearly and didn’t blame Wen Nanxi for these events.
She only blamed herself.
