Chapter 269: Chapter 271: Love Spell

Seeing Xi Yi approach, Su Luoluo asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

"I was getting ready for bed when I saw someone furtively casting a spell, so I captured her."

The talisman she’d sent out got no response, so the Hua Witch decided to investigate. But who would have thought that as soon as she started casting, a Black Bear would interrupt her.

’Just what is this guy’s background? He looks like he’s only a Level 7 Beast Rank, yet he can suppress my casting.’

"And she is...?"

Xi Yi shrugged. "No idea. She looked suspicious, so I grabbed her."

With that, he glanced at the Hua Witch. "What’s your name, and where are you from?"

The Hua Witch instantly felt an immense power bearing down on her, forcing her to lower her head. "I am the Hua Witch, the Great Witch of Youdu Mountain."

’How can someone from the Lower Domain possess such a powerful Restriction Technique?’

The Hua Witch found it unbelievable.

’Youdu Mountain?’

Su Luoluo remembered Fu Feng saying that the Xuan Birds lived in this area. "Were you sent by Hua Jinxin?"

The Hua Witch remained silent, which Su Luoluo took as a confirmation.

But now wasn’t the time to deal with the witch. Her gaze sharpened as she turned to Su Yang. "Father, you saw it for yourself. This is how Lan Ya treats me. I want you to give me a resolution today."

Seeing Lan Ya’s complete lack of remorse, Su Luoluo couldn’t even be bothered to call her ’Mother,’ demanding a verdict directly from Su Yang.

After learning what Lan Ya had done, her first instinct had been to confront her directly. But after calming down, she’d decided it was better to let Su Yang know. After all, punishing her own mother so casually could easily tarnish her reputation.

She wasn’t afraid of rumors, but her children deserved a mother with a good reputation. Besides, Su Yang had always treated her well, and she needed to consider his dignity.

On one side was his female, and on the other, his daughter. It was a painful choice for Su Yang, no matter who he picked.

But this time, Lan Ya had gone too far. With a look of profound disappointment, he said, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Half-beast Area and perform hard labor!"

The Half-beast Area was where the tribe’s Half-Beastmen—those who hadn’t fully transformed into Beastmen—resided. Because of their limited abilities, they relied on the Beastmen for protection and were always tasked with the hardest, filthiest jobs.

Hearing this, Lan Ya shook her head frantically. "Su Yang, I won’t go! I’m the Leader’s Wife! You can’t do this to me!"

Then, she rushed in front of Su Luoluo, grabbing her hand and pleading, "Luoluo, I’m your mother! Please forgive me, won’t you? I promise I’ll be good to you! I didn’t know that Heavenly God was an imposter!"

Su Luoluo remained unmoved. She looked at Lan Ya coldly. "You may have been deceived, but you’re not innocent in this. If you had even the slightest bit of care for me in your heart, you wouldn’t have blindly believed a one-sided story. Lan Ya, I will never forgive you."

"With this kind of malice in your heart, it was a talisman this time. Who knows what kind of poison you’ll try to use on me next?"

Su Yang had initially thought sending Lan Ya to the Half-beast Area was too harsh a punishment. But now, hearing Su Luoluo’s words, his heart tightened, and he felt a fresh wave of guilt toward his daughter. He waved his hand and commanded:

"Take the Leader’s Wife to the Half-beast Area. Keep an eye on her while she works. And remember, no one is to let her leave without my express command!"

’Luoluo is right. If we don’t keep a close watch on someone like her, who knows what she’ll do next.’

To Su Luoluo, sending her to the Half-beast Area was a light punishment. However, with Lan Ya out of Su Yang’s sight, it meant Luoluo would have plenty of her own opportunities to deal with her.

Besides, the thing Lan Ya cared about most was her position as the Leader’s Wife. This punishment was tantamount to grinding her face into the dirt, which was a more painful fate than any physical harm.

And just as she’d predicted, Lan Ya broke down completely. "No! Don’t take me to the Half-beast Area! I won’t go! I am the noble Leader’s Wife! I’m not like those Despicable Beasts!"

Lan Ya shook her head desperately, trying to wrench herself free from the ones restraining her. However, their grip was too strong; she couldn’t break away.

Xi Yi glanced at Lan Ya being dragged away, then turned his expressionless face back, arms crossed. "So, what are you going to do with this damn crow, Luoluo?"

Su Luoluo replied calmly, "We wait. Her master hasn’t arrived yet."

"’Master?’ Xi Yi chuckled, a playful look in his eyes. ’Luoluo, what trouble have you been stirring up now?’"

Su Luoluo pursed her lips, but just as she was about to speak, a sharp ’DING!’ echoed in her mind.

"Host, hurry to Fengqi Mountain! Gu Wanyi and Hua Jin are casting a Love Spell on Fu Feng! Once it’s complete, Fu Feng will be devoted to Hua Jinxin until death!"

The sudden alert in her mind made Su Luoluo jump.

Before she could even ask a question, the system rattled off a long-winded explanation that made her brow furrow in confusion.

But this useless system had been gone for so long. Its sudden reappearance made her a little suspicious.

Su Luoluo asked tentatively, "You’ve been gone for so long. How do I know if you’re telling the truth or not?!"

The system’s voice was laced with urgency. "Of course it’s true! There was a reason for my absence, I’ll explain it to you later, Host. You really need to go now! If Gu Wanyi and Hua Jinxin succeed, Fu Feng will belong completely to Hua Jinxin!"

Hearing this, Su Luoluo knew she couldn’t delay. She beckoned to Xi Yi. "Come with me to Fengqi Mountain."

Xi Yi was confused. "Fengqi Mountain? What are we going there for this late?"

"I sense Fu Feng is in danger. Let’s go there first, we’ll talk on the way."

The situation was urgent, and Su Luoluo had no time to explain.

At her words, Xi Yi instantly transformed into a black shadow, stopping right in front of Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo climbed on and called out to Su Yang, who had hurried over. "Father, something’s come up, I have to go out! Please take care of the children for me. I’ll explain later!"

With that, she and Xi Yi were gone.

Su Yang felt like everything was happening too fast. Before he could even process it, the two of them shot off like arrows loosed from a bow.

Once seated on Xi Yi’s back, Su Luoluo immediately questioned the system. "What’s going on? Isn’t Fu Feng stronger than Hua Jinxin? How did he end up in her hands?"

She and Fu Feng had agreed on a plan; she was just waiting for him to bring Hua Jinxin back. But now, it seemed he had walked right into a trap himself.

"Gu Wanyi used a dirty trick to muddle Fu Feng’s mind. Then she used witchcraft in an attempt to place him under the Love Spell."

"This way, Fu Feng can break his contract with you and be with her instead."

’Truly despicable. They’ll stop at nothing!’

"How many of them are there?"

"They don’t want to be discovered, so it’s just the two of them, mother and daughter."

’Two people?’

Su Luoluo quickly weighed their odds. She wasn’t sure if she and Xi Yi could win. ’If I’d known, I would have brought the other Beastman partners,’ she thought.

"System, can we beat them?" Su Luoluo asked, worried.

"Don’t worry, Host. Xi Yi will have a way."

"Xi Yi?"

Su Luoluo was incredulous. ’What could he do?’
