Chapter 204 - 203: Her Divine Seal

"Feng Qiwu!"

Seeing him get more and more brazen, the others finally couldn’t help but shout.

"I have other things to deal with right now. Stop messing around."

Chu Liangyu watched as Feng Qiwu nuzzled closer and closer, about to kiss her on the lips. She reached out, pinched his bird beak, and pushed his entire phoenix head away from her.

’I was so close! It’s all their fault!’

Feng Qiwu shot the others a dissatisfied glare, grunted, but still obediently stood up straight. "Fine, then."

With the little farce over, Chu Liangyu’s expression turned serious. "This inability to revert from your beast forms... we absolutely have to figure it out. It just might take some time."

"For now, we probably won’t be able to find the cause. You all look tired. Come back to the tribe with me first."

The only thing Chu Liangyu could think of was to go to Void Island, ask the old man, and then search for a solution.

But she still had the banquet she’d promised Xiong Jiaojiao, as well as some other miscellaneous tasks to handle. She wouldn’t be able to go anytime soon.

Lost in thought, Chu Liangyu led the way, heading toward the Xihe Tribe.

But the problem was, they were all in their beast forms. For Cang Yu in his Azure Dragon form, floating in mid-air was the most natural posture.

The Azure Dragon’s body was immense. How to accommodate him after returning to the tribe would be a huge problem.

It was a problem that was also easy to solve. It was just a matter of having Xiong Jiaojiao and a few others from the Wood Spirit Clan build him a long shelter made of vines.

The others couldn’t retract their beast forms either, so they wouldn’t be able to enter the tribe proper.

The best solution was to build them temporary living quarters on the outskirts of the tribe, tailored to their sizes. Thinking of this, Chu Liangyu stopped in her tracks.

As it happened, they had just reached the river in front of the tribe.

"You can’t move around inside the tribe like this. Wait here for now. I’ll go find someone to build you a temporary shelter."

After she spoke, Chu Liangyu glanced at their reactions. Seeing they had no objections, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had gone through so much trouble to help her block the tribulation lightning, only to be told they couldn’t enter the tribe. It would inevitably make them feel a bit uncomfortable.

But fortunately, Chu Liangyu had overthought it. They were very cooperative, which was a great relief to her.

Just then, Chi Yizhong, who was soaking in the water, spoke up. "No need to prepare one for me. I’ll just stay in this river."

Yu He slapped the water’s surface with her fishtail and nodded. "Me too."

Although Chu Liangyu’s Power of Creation could restore life to their charred wounds, it couldn’t create something from nothing.

Thus, Chi Yizhong’s eyes still hadn’t recovered.

Chu Liangyu gave him an extra glance and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. ’I feel like I owe him so much.’

"Okay, I understand. I’ll find a few people to watch over you later. If you need anything, you can have them do it."

After returning to the tribe, Chu Liangyu happened to run into Cheng Miao, who was walking toward her.

After a moment’s thought, Chu Liangyu decided to entrust this matter to him. "I need to trouble you with something. My Beast Husbands can’t retract their beast forms for the time being. Take two tribe members and help them build some temporary shelters."

Cheng Miao listened attentively, and when she finished, he nodded. "Okay, I understand. I’ll take some people over right away."

At some point, Cheng Miao had gone from being arrogant and looking down on everyone to truly regarding Chu Liangyu as his leader. He had no intention of being perfunctory with her orders.

The issue of housing her Beast Husbands was easy enough to solve. Chu Liangyu thought for a moment; it seemed there was something else she had forgotten.

’Before the flood, a few of my Beast Husbands were helping me find people possessed by Otherworldly Souls.’

Later, Feng Qiwu and the others didn’t return because they were trapped by the flood.

Because of that, they weren’t able to bring those people back. Chu Liangyu had gone to help at the time.

The moment she saw them, Chu Liangyu had collected those souls. But because there were many rescued clans behind her, she had to bring them back to the Xihe Tribe first.

Afterward, due to various other matters, she forgot to arrange for them to be sent back.

Now that she remembered, a lot of time had passed. To prevent any accidents, Chu Liangyu decided to send people to take them back immediately.

As for who to send, she decided on Hua Youyue.

That guy had always wanted to do something for the tribe but couldn’t find a suitable opportunity. Now was the perfect chance for him.

"Wait, one more thing. We previously housed about twenty-four people—two separate groups—in four courtyards in the same area."

Chu Liangyu remembered they were the people found by He Yushu’s and Feng Qiwu’s teams, who were later housed in the same place.

"They were just temporary guests. It’s time to send them back now. Give this task to Hua Youyue. Let him know for me."

Cheng Miao thought for a moment, then asked, "You mean the one from the Alien Flower Clan who was in charge of impersonating Cheng Zheng?"

The two hadn’t interacted much, only that one time when they participated in the plan together.

He asked just to be safe, afraid of getting the wrong person.

"That’s right, it’s him." Chu Liangyu thought for a moment and added, "He has a baby face. You’ll find him easily; he’s very recognizable."

"Yes, I know. We’ve met once," Cheng Miao agreed, then said, "In that case, I’ll get started on the tasks you’ve given me."

"Go on."

For the moment, these were all the things Chu Liangyu could recall, so she decided to return to her courtyard to rest and recuperate first.

Having successfully become a Beast God, her body had also undergone immense changes. She needed to go back and examine it carefully, and also see what was different now that she was a Beast God.

On top of that, there was her weapon. Her trident had snapped in two while blocking the tribulation lightning. Chu Liangyu had to find a way to restore it.

It had been her companion for so many years, and she was used to it. She couldn’t bear to just let it be destroyed.

As for the mask on her face, because it was integrated into her body, it had advanced the moment she became a Beast God, and the damaged parts had been restored to their original state.

The mask was one less thing to worry about, but whether it had any new abilities was something she would have to discover for herself.

In the empty courtyard, two rattan chairs still sat in their original places.

A wave of nostalgia washed over Chu Liangyu as she looked at them. So, instead of going inside, she lay down directly on one of the chairs.

After becoming a Beast God, Chu Liangyu gained Divine Status, and every Beast God’s Divine Status comes with a Divine Seal.

It was a unique mark, and the seal of each generation of Beast God was different.

And Chu Liangyu’s Divine Seal was the sun pattern on her brow. Perhaps this was closely related to her beast form.

Chu Liangyu took a mirror out of her storage bag and admired the seal on her brow for a long while.

Although her previous half-beastified form also had this mark, perhaps because she had now become a Beast God, this seal was vastly different from before.

Auspicious cloud-like patterns had appeared around the sun seal. Not only that, but the aura emanating from the seal was also extremely pure, inspiring an inexplicable sense of trust.
