151: Chapter 151: Dissolve the Marriage Contract, or Die?

Everyone was stunned. After being asked this by Cang Yan, they all began to doubt themselves.

Was Xiao Hei really Cang Yan?

"When did your memory stop?" Feng Yange watched the confusion in Cang Yan's eyes. Cang Yan stared at Feng Yange, "I saw you the moment I opened my eyes. It was you who saved me."

"And then you don't remember anything else?"

Feng Yange looked at Cang Yan and saw him nod. "It seems you have lost all your memories. If you don't like being called Cang Yan, we can give you a new name. We aren't even sure if you are Cang Yan right now."

He couldn't be called Xiao Hei anymore; after all, he couldn't be called Xiao Hei now either. His true form was fire-red, but they couldn't just call him Little Red or Big Red, right?

"Mistress, let's just stick with Cang Yan."

Cang Yan's gaze darkened. It was better than Xiao Hei, but he also felt a trace of unease in his heart. After absorbing the fire spirit bead, his whole body was red, and he feared Mistress would call him Little Red. It was better to be called Cang Yan.

"You don't mind? What if you really aren't Cang Yan..."

"It doesn't matter." Cang Yan interrupted Feng Yange, "A name is just a form of address. Since he and I are of the same kind, this name also quite fits my species."

"Then what is your species?" Feng Yange looked curious, and the others were also full of curiosity. Bai Jiuxiao thought of Cang Yan's form, "Are you from the Phoenix Clan?"

"I don't know. I don't have any memories. You are the only ones I knew when I woke up. I only know some things, but that doesn't include my species identity." Cang Yan was not lying; everything he said was spoken from his subconscious, and he had absolutely no memory of his identity or his species.

After speaking, Cang Yan immediately transformed back into his true form, a small red bird. "Mistress, I am going to Cultivate."

Xuan Li leaned into Feng Yange's ear and lowered his voice, "Mistress, are you sure you can bring yourself to do it with a little bird?"

Feng Yange glanced at Cang Yan's bird form, her lips twitching slightly. Xuan Li laughed heartily, drawing puzzled looks from the others.

"What are you laughing at?"

Bai Jiuxiao leaned toward Xuan Li. Why did he feel like the relationship between Xuan Li and Mistress had become very different recently? What had they missed?

"This is a secret between Mistress and me. You will know in the future... Ah!"

Before Xuan Li could finish speaking, his ear was twisted by Feng Yange. He cried out in pain and begged for mercy, "Mistress, I was wrong, please be gentle, it hurts..."

After the commotion, Feng Yange found a place by the seaside to rest. There was no one else in the vicinity. Behind them, the mountains stretched endlessly, out of sight, and the sea in front of them was boundless. This was the boundary.

Coming out of the Jiuyou Secret Realm this time, everyone had suffered varying degrees of injuries. After this experience, everyone's desire to become stronger was even firmer.

"Mistress, have something to eat."

Long Ze brought over some meat soup. Seeing Feng Yange holding the Divine Stone and looking at it, his eyes filled with unease. "Mistress, are you unable to absorb this Divine Stone?"

Feng Yange signaled for Long Ze to sit down. She held the Divine Stone in her hand, "I can feel that there is the power I need inside this Divine Stone, but I feel there is more than just this one piece; there should be several."

Long Ze looked at the Divine Stone, "As long as Mistress wants to obtain them, we will accompany you to get them. One day, we will get them all."

Feng Yange put away the Divine Stone, "A-Ze, I want to tell you something."

Long Ze looked puzzled, meeting Feng Yange's serious gaze. "I feel that my strength hasn't been able to improve recently. The System says this is because my Spiritual Root is different from ordinary people, which is the Hongmeng Spirit Root. Its activation conditions are very harsh. My body needs to absorb five spirit beads. Absorbing the power of the Divine Stone can allow me to open the Origin of the Hongmeng Spirit Root, and the power of the five elements spirit beads can allow me to control the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, and communicate with the Hongmeng Law."

Feng Yange lowered her eyes, "If I can't do it, my Spiritual Root will at most only be a Divine-Grade talent Spiritual Root."

"So that's it. No wonder Mistress was able to grow a Lightning Spirit Root. The Hongmeng Spirit Root creates all things and is a creation-level Spiritual Root, but the path of cultivation is extremely difficult." Long Ze gripped Feng Yange's hand tightly, "Mistress, it doesn't matter. We will definitely find them for you and help you Cultivate the Hongmeng Spirit Root."

He had never understood why Mo Yuan and Jun Chen were willing to marry Mistress as her husbands, or why Xuan Li and Ling Feng were able to obtain such rare Legacies. It turned out to be because of Mistress's Hongmeng Spirit Root; everyone who appeared by her side was a very important existence.

"Mistress, there is one more thing I don't understand."

Long Ze glanced at Li Mingye in the distance, "Little Six is a human and does not meet your criteria for choosing a husband for the Hongmeng Spirit Root, but he received the recognition of the god-slaying sword. Can I assume that he possesses a Bloodline within him that does not belong to humans?"

Feng Yange's eyes brightened, "You're saying A-Ye has a Bloodline within him that doesn't belong to humans? Then can he also undergo Beastification?"

Long Ze's expression paused, "Mistress, I thought you knew. I only sensed that it was possible; I am not certain."

Feng Yange's gaze darkened instantly, "I didn't know. When I first sought him out, it was only to snatch Xiao Linger's Opportunity. Apart from A-Ye, I didn't take anyone who didn't meet the criteria."

She had a headache now too. The Hongmeng Spirit Root had extremely high standards for choosing men. If Li Mingye couldn't undergo Beastification to reveal his true form, even if they had consummated their marriage, he wouldn't be recognized. She didn't want to be a scumbag.

Long Ze reached out and stroked Feng Yange's hair, his movements gentle, his golden eyes full of love, "Then Mistress, wait a little longer. Leave this matter to me; I will investigate it clearly."

Feng Yange leaned into Long Ze's embrace, her gaze looking toward the distant sea, her tone filled with helplessness, "A-Ze, do you think I am very selfish? Back then, in order to snatch away Xiao Linger's Opportunity, I snatched A-Ye. I still haven't dared to tell him about this."

"Mistress, don't be afraid. The matter has already happened; we will find a way to resolve it." Long Ze comforted Mistress, his gaze sweeping over the reveling crowd. He made eye contact with Li Mingye, and his gaze immediately shifted away; it seemed he knew.

Mo Yuan walked to Li Mingye's side and handed him a piece of roasted meat, "What's wrong? Jealous seeing Mistress and Long Ze together?"

"After seclusion, Mistress seems to have a secret. You all know about it, and it seems to be related to me." Li Mingye's gaze was calm, "Can you tell me? I don't want to make things difficult for Mistress."

These past few days, he had heard the conversations between Xuan Li and the others, occasionally, and they were intentionally avoiding him.

"If you want to know, of course I will tell you, but I'm afraid you will be upset once you know."

Mo Yuan sat beside Li Mingye and took a bottle of wine from his storage ring to hand to him. Li Mingye took a few sips, "It's fine, I can handle it."

"Mistress has the Hongmeng Spirit Root, and her husbands must all be from the beast clans. Everyone here, except for you, is from the beast clans. Both Jun Chen and I are, only you are human." Mo Yuan's words were very direct. He looked at Li Mingye indifferently; his expression showed no surprise.

"It seems you have already guessed it."

Li Mingye responded, "I heard your conversation with Xuan Li. Tell me, what must I do that is most beneficial to Mistress? Dissolve the marriage contract automatically, or die."
