Chapter 170 Let her make a choice

Su Muyao's face turned even paler upon hearing these words.

His expression was somewhat dazed, as if he were recalling the scenes he had seen in his dream.

It turns out it was because of the soul.

Is it because of her?
Was it because of the soul influence he suffered when he was killed while saving a cat, whose soul was possessed by the cat?

Thinking of this, Su Muyao felt a suffocating pain in her heart, filled with self-blame and distress.

But her wood-based abilities were completely ineffective, and at this moment, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Just then, the space system spoke up: "What's wrong, host? I just fell into a deep sleep so as not to disturb you and Xie Guixue from forming a bond."

"What's wrong now?"

The system is somewhat worried about its host.

It blocked out the host at that time to avoid making the host feel awkward, in order to facilitate the two of them forming a bond. But now it senses that the host's aura is not right, so it is very worried.

"Host, are you feeling unwell?"

The system's attention was entirely focused on Su Muyao, and it didn't notice anything else at all.

Looking at Xie Guixue and listening to Doctor Lu's words, Su Muyao felt quite uncomfortable, probably because of her distress. She also felt dizzy and unwell.

But she clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, causing pain and blood, but Su Muyao was completely unaware.

She was just afraid she would faint from the pain, so she used the pain to keep herself awake.

Upon hearing the spatial system's words, Su Muyao said hoarsely, "Gui Xue has a physical problem. He is currently unconscious and his body is cold. Doctor Lu said that there is no problem with his body, but rather with his soul."

"It's highly likely that it's related to me."

The system exclaimed in surprise, "How could there be a problem? His body was clearly healed by you, host. There won't be any issues with the contract."

"Even if his body is having problems right now, you can't blame the host."

"It's not the host's fault, so don't be sad."

"Ice and snow spirit beasts may be special by nature, and the matter of their souls is beyond human control."

"It seems Xie Guixue really does have some health problems. Sigh, ice and snow spirit beasts are extremely unique. Host, don't blame yourself. You're just too tired. You need to be careful in everything you do..."

The system is unhappy that its host is feeling sad and upset, and its emotions are so out of whack.

"And it's strange, host, your ability only improved by one level this time. Normally, it should have improved by at least two levels."

"He is an ice and snow spirit beast with powerful talent."

The system itself found this very strange and had no idea where the problem lay.

Su Muyao said seriously, "He is related to my pet cat Lanlan from my previous life. When I first met Lanlan, it should have died. Later, a part of Xie Guixue's soul temporarily resided in it. As a result, when he was killed by zombies to save me, his soul was seriously injured. His soul may have been unstable, so forming a bond caused his soul to have problems again."

Even the system exclaimed in surprise, "Lanlan? If his soul resides in a cat, it's equivalent to a part of his soul transmigrating to the apocalypse where you are, host. How is that possible...?"

Even the system found it hard to believe. After a moment of silence, it exclaimed, "No wonder that cat has become sentient."

"Hey……"

The system sighed, unsure of what to say.

In her previous life, it was indeed that cat that saved her, so for her, the cat was the knot in her heart.

So much so that when she saw the cat-beast in danger in Cloud City, she would instinctively go to save it; it was her body's natural reaction.

Its host is actually the most loyal and affectionate person.

Su Muyao looked at Xie Yi and Doctor Lu and said, "I'm going to find the Moon Clan."

She was willing to plead with Yue Wuhen, the man she had previously broken off her engagement with, for Xie Guixue's sake. He was the young master of the Yue clan and would surely have a way. Xie Yi said, "Miss Su, Madam has been in contact with the elders of the Yue clan. It will be faster and more convenient for Madam to go there."

Su Muyao said, "You go find the Madam, I'll go find the Moon Clan."

Double insurance.

Just then, the door to the Ice Palace was suddenly opened, and Patriarch Xie walked in and said, "No need."

"No need to trouble Miss Su, I will take my son back to find the elder of the Moon Clan right away."

The head of the Xie family led a large group of people in at once.

Without even glancing at Su Muyao, the Xie family head quickly bypassed her and went straight to the bedside. Looking at Xie Guixue, who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Guixue, Guixue, wake up, Mommy's here to see you. Mommy shouldn't have left you here alone..."

"Returning Snow..."

The Xie family head called out a few times, but Xie Guixue did not respond. After learning the details from Doctor Lu, she picked up Xie Guixue and turned to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, she glanced at Su Muyao, her first look scrutinizing, then her expression became complicated.

After hesitating for a moment, she calmed her painful emotions and had Xie Guixue escorted to the arriving flying sedan chair first. She then turned to Su Muyao and asked, "Are you called Su Muyao?"

"Yes, Mu Yao greets Patriarch Xie."

Su Muyao bowed to the Xie family head. This time, she could see the Xie family head clearly. The Xie family head was slender and graceful, wearing a jade hairpin and a gorgeous brocade robe with the Xie family's special totem patterns. Her skin was as white as snow, and she was beautiful, dignified, and noble. Her eyes had a firm and cold look.

He exuded an intangible aura of authority, befitting the head of the Xie clan.

The Xie family head said with a complicated expression, "Why call me family head? Just call me aunt. Seeing you reminds me of myself when I was young."

“Auntie is not an unreasonable person. Thank you for taking care of Guixue during this time, which has helped him recover. I am grateful for your help.”

"But one thing at a time. Gui Xue's situation is complicated. He shouldn't have fallen in love, but I know that this is not something a person can control. He hasn't seen much of the world, so it's inevitable that he would fall in love with you."

"But you've seen his current physical condition."

"So if you had to choose, would you rather he stay by your side and be in danger at any time, or leave here and get your body healed?"

Su Muyao wouldn't actually call him "Auntie." The Xie family head's first words had already made her stance clear. She said in a low voice, "Family head Xie, I only hope that he lives well and happily. If there's anything I can do, I'll cooperate."

Regardless of the Xie family head's attitude, her feelings for Xie Guixue were genuine, and she wanted him to be well, even if it meant sacrificing something for him.

At this moment, the Xie family head's eyes were red and his expression was filled with grief. Upon hearing these words, his cold and scrutinizing expression softened somewhat.

She looked at Su Muyao, took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on Su Muyao's wrist, "This is from your aunt. Your aunt knows about your situation with Guixue, and your aunt acknowledges your relationship."

“I also hoped that he could be with you, but now that he is in this state, his life is in danger at any time. To me, he is the most precious treasure his father left me, and he is also my life. I only hope that before his health is completely stable and there are no more problems, I will not fall in love again, and there will be no more setbacks. Do you understand what I mean?”

The head of the Xie family said these words in a seemingly tactful way, but his tone and attitude were very firm.

Acknowledging their relationship and supporting them being together are different concepts; how could Su Muyao not understand that?

She heard it clearly: in the eyes of the Xie family head, her son's life was above all people and things.

But Su Muyao wasn't worthy enough.

Su Muyao smiled inwardly. She was a decisive person, but when it came to making a decision, it wasn't as easy as she had imagined.

How could she forget Xie Guixue's feelings for her and how good he was to her, especially since his soul had resided in a cat and accompanied her for so many years?

However, the Xie family's intention to sever her relationship with Xie Guixue caused a sharp pain in her heart.

Indeed, a relationship with the support of parents and relatives is very different from one without.

Su Muyao looked at the bracelet on her wrist and felt a little self-deprecating. She felt that the bracelet was very heavy and not what she wanted. It weighed heavily on her heart.

Is this what the Xie family head used to appease her?
