Yue Wuhen pondered, "Somewhat similar, but not the same."

"Look here, the tree on the mural is the so-called Holy Tree of that time, actually also called the Spiritual Mulberry Tree."

Su Muyao followed Yue Wuhen’s gaze and indeed saw the mural beside it, showing a lush and towering tree.

It looked somewhat similar to the Holy Tree of the Xuanyuan Tribe but was different.

Yue Wuhen was most concerned about how to mend Su Muyao’s missing Immortal Body Origin, otherwise her body would feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, during their journey to the Great Wilderness, he noticed that his wife occasionally did not rest well at night and appeared somewhat fatigued.

Yue Wuhen walked back to the bookshelf, looking around and constantly flipping through some beast skin scrolls and some ancient books.

There were many beast skin scrolls and bamboo ancient books here.

Su Muyao asked, "Can I take a look?"

She wasn’t sure if the Wushan Divine Hall had any rules, like forbidding her from touching these ancient books.

Yue Wuhen did not expect Su Muyao to ask this. He gently explained, "You can look at everything here, and take what you like. However, some contain the Divine Power of the Great Power, and even I cannot open them, so be careful."

"Also, these are not bamboo-made books but crafted from a special Spiritual Bamboo of the Witch Clan, and they inherently possess some power."

Su Muyao nodded, "Mm, I’ll be careful."

Then, she came over to look and opened the beast skin scrolls and bamboo scrolls, discovering that they indeed contained those unique Witch Runes, none of which she could understand.

Moreover, upon opening them, she always felt the characters seemed to float out.

She knew these Witch Runes were peculiar, and they all contained energy.

While Yue Wuhen was examining these ancient books, he noticed the movement from Su Muyao’s side.

He asked concernedly, "What’s wrong?"

Su Muyao curiously asked, "Were these Witch Runes also created by your ancestor, the Witch Moon Lotus?"

Yue Wuhen explained, "Mm, it’s said he created these characters based on mountains, rivers, and plants, so they have both spirit and contained energy."

"If they were other characters, I could teach you, but with Witch Runes, you wouldn’t be able to learn even if I taught you."

Su Muyao asked, "Is there no direct way to recognize these characters? Or can only the Witch Clan people recognize them?"

"I remember the witch doctor from the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan used Witch Runes in his notes. His master was apprenticed to someone from the Witch Clan to learn."

Upon hearing this, a flash of light appeared in Yue Wuhen’s mind from the inherited memories of the Witch Clan.

He realized there was a way for his wife to automatically recognize the Witch Runes.

While Su Muyao was asking her questions, she watched Yue Wuhen’s expression, noticing his changing expressions and a slight blush on his ears, which made her wink and become even more curious.

"Wuhen, what were you thinking just now? You’re blushing."

"Or have you thought of a way?"

Yue Wuhen looked down at Su Muyao’s clear and bright eyes, his ears reddening further as he slightly avoided her gaze.

It was somewhat embarrassing for him to say those two words out loud.

Would she misunderstand him as having deliberately mentioned such a method?

But it was true, although he wasn’t sure if it would really work.

Because many Witch Clan Beastmen couldn’t understand Witch Runes even after contracting with females from other tribes.

Su Muyao rarely saw Yue Wuhen so shy and couldn’t help but laugh.

But Yue Wuhen avoided her gaze and didn’t see it at all.

Su Muyao watched as his ears became redder, with a faint blush on his cheeks, like the blossoms of a winter snow plum, charming as the spring advertised color.

One glance at Su Muyao was enough to captivate her heart and mind.

She stepped forward to Yue Wuhen, gently grasping his hand, noticing its warmth.

She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Wuhen, are you feeling very hot right now?"

"It’s... not too bad..."

After the thought of contracting entered his mind and being so close to her, his ears felt like they were burning, and he didn’t know what to do.

The subtle yet pleasant scent from her enveloped him completely, carrying a sweetly intoxicating aroma that claimed his heart dominantly.

Su Muyao found this pure side of Yue Wuhen captivating, even fragile in beauty.

Which made her feel that even in contracting, she had the upper hand.

This novelty further fueled her desire to tease him.

"Are you uncomfortable with a fever? Want me to take a look and treat you?"

"No... no need, I’m fine."

Yue Wuhen couldn’t control his rising body temperature.

Because whenever his beloved approached, his heart would skip a beat.

Previously, he never thought about it, which is why he remained composed.

But now...

Su Muyao burst out laughing.

Yue Wuhen looked down at her for the first time, seeing her cheerful and radiant smile.

Her lashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings, and in her vibrant eyes, layers of sunlight unfolded, illuminating his heart.

He thought, no matter what she asked him to do, he would be willing, as long as it made her happy.

Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pluck them for her.

He slowly reached out, gently stroking her hair with tenderness.

Su Muyao looked deeply into his eyes, "Wuhen, if we contract, will I then be able to understand these Witch Runes?"

Yue Wuhen showed a look of surprise, not expecting her to guess correctly.

"Mm, according to the inherited memory, that’s the case."

"But I’m not sure if it truly works."

Su Muyao smiled, her eyes curving, "We can try and see."

"Let’s go."

Yue Wuhen didn’t immediately react, "Go... where?"

"Wash up and go back to the room; it’s already getting dark."

Su Muyao took a couple of steps but didn’t hear Yue Wuhen speak. She stopped and turned to him, "Or do you not want to?"

"How could I not? I... I definitely do."

When he said this, Yue Wuhen felt a bit shy.

He had waited so long, just to be with her, how could he refuse?

Su Muyao said earnestly, "Wuhen, I love you. I don’t want to contract just because I can understand the Witch Runes. You are my Beast Husband, and we are meant to contract."

She also wished to have children with Yue Wuhen.

Her life was saved by him, and doing anything for him felt right.

She wanted to make it up to him.

She felt he seemed to bear too many burdens; perhaps having a child would bring him some happiness.

She also wanted to be good to him.

Actually, back at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, when he appeared, she had already mentioned it.

But later, they were busy traveling to seek out the Wushan Divine Hall, and now they finally had time.

They felt at ease living here, as the Wushan Divine Hall would automatically protect them.

In that moment, Yue Wuhen simply watched her, listening to her words, feeling the warmth in those words.

In the past, Yue Wuhen’s world was monotone, following a predetermined path of cultivation and duties, but when he looked at her, his eyes and heart filled with vibrant colors.

"Mm, I know."

"Wife, this is also the desire of my heart."

At that moment, Yue Wuhen spoke his mind.

He also wanted to contract with his wife, to become her true Beast Husband, rather than in name only.

When he spoke so sincerely, his eyes revealed a gentle purple glaze, exuding a sweet fragrance, as pure and lovely as the breeze, easily captivating one’s heart and stirring their emotions.
