Xiao Cheng’s expression was ghastly, his voice trembling as he choked out, "That old hag Yichu... She said she’d make Si Shuo like Jiang Guo, but hate us!"

The men’s faces all turned deathly pale. This was especially true for Ji Liang. He had expended an unimaginable amount of effort to get Si Shuo to accept him, a born Rogue Beast, slowly convincing her to lower her guard.

’Now, it might not just be a matter of starting all over again...’

Sure enough, they saw Si Shuo smiling at Jiang Guo, drooling. She even let out a little slurp!

’Just how much must she like him to act so instinctively?’

Yin Jiang stepped forward and hugged Si Shuo tightly. "Shuo’er, I’m hurting. Can we please go back and rest first?"

Si Shuo tilted her head and blinked, snapping out of her daze. She looked at the handsome young man so close to her, pursing her lips. For some reason, two conflicting emotions waged war in her mind.

’She had clearly been through life and death with Yin Jiang. Their love was sincere and deep, and they even had two Hunting Falcon Pups together. So why did she feel this urge to resist his embrace?’

However, she looked down at the recording pen clutched in her hand. She had no memory of this at all. ’That’s not right.’ She glanced around and couldn’t help but ask, "How did I get here?"

"Si Shuo, we came here to hold Yichu and Jiang Guo accountable. But Yichu’s superpower as a Female Saint is hypnosis, making people forget, and altering their memories."

Si Shuo glanced at Xiao Cheng. ’He seems more talkative than usual.’ When her gaze swept over Xu Chi, she thought this Beast Husband was too quiet. Gong You was overly handsome; Wei Ce, too simpleminded; Zhi Le’s cultivation, too low; and Ji Liang, too cold...

It was as if a single trait of each of them had been magnified hundreds of times, making it impossible for her to ignore.

Just seeing Si Shuo’s furrowed brow made everyone’s hearts turn to ice. They knew she had truly been hypnotized by Yichu.

Ali was furious. She clenched her fists and began to chant, "Great Beast God above, the Yichu Saintess is devoid of virtue. She was involved in the withering of Bamboo Forest Mountain and showed no regard for the lives of the Iron-eating Beast Clan Members.

Her superpower to erase and alter memories was never used to protect her own life, but to harm others and pursue her own selfish gains.

If my Fathers had not intervened in time, our entire family would have perished and come to report to you.

Therefore, Great Beast God, your faithful daughter begs you to revoke the status of the Yichu Saintess, strip her of her superpower, and transfer it to Little Hong!"

Little Hong’s ability was also a form of mental control, so the two superpowers could be merged.

As soon as she finished speaking, a ball of golden light rose from Yichu’s head. Once it was fully extracted, it slammed down into Little Hong.

Even though the backlash had made Yichu forget what had just happened, she could still clearly feel her superpower being stripped away. Her eyes widened with despair and regret, and she whimpered, but no one paid her any mind.

Little Hong closed her eyes to slowly absorb the superpower. After about five or six minutes, she snapped her eyes open to meet her Fathers’ expectant gazes and said weakly, "Fathers, the Forgetting Ability isn’t so bad. It just seals away certain memories.

But altering memories damages a person’s spiritual power. If I change Mother’s memories back now, she won’t be able to withstand it."

Xu Chi suppressed his grief and forced a smile. "It’s alright. Let’s let A shuo focus on recovering her health and spiritual power first. We can worry about the rest later."

Everyone nodded helplessly; it was their only option. In the end, they had been too careless this time. Who could have guessed Yichu’s superpower was one that controlled spiritual power, using her voice to induce hypnosis?

Even with Xiao Cheng on high alert and Si Shuo taking out a recording pen as a precaution when she heard Yichu describe her superpower, it was still a pyrrhic victory.

Yin Jiang swept Si Shuo into his arms to leave, but she reached out toward Jiang Guo. "Jiang Guo! Bring Jiang Guo..."

The men all glared at Jiang Guo, but he simply lifted his chin. "You’d best listen to the Si Shuo Divine Female. I have become her obsession. If you hurt me, she will do something drastic.

So, you have no choice but to treat me and my Mother well. Otherwise, I’ll kill myself right in front of you!"

Little Hong nodded helplessly as well. "Mother’s memories were just altered. We can’t forcibly separate her from... him..."

Wei Ce sneered, grabbing Jiang Guo in one hand and Yichu in the other as he strode to the front.

Si Shuo finally quieted down once she saw Jiang Guo was coming with them. She lowered her eyes, feeling that something wasn’t quite right, but she couldn’t say what.

Xiao Cheng cautiously approached and began to explain the whole affair from start to finish.

Si Shuo’s logic and past memories were still intact, but her emotions were tied in a knot. Her feelings for her husbands were suppressed, as if Yichu had built a dam to hold back the flow of her love.

"Si Shuo, you can’t have actually fallen for that tailless Jiang Guo—who can barely even be called a male—and stopped liking us, right?"

Si Shuo glanced at him but said nothing, simply closing her eyes.

Xiao Cheng felt as if his heart had been crushed by a boulder, and the taste of blood in his throat intensified.

Yin Jiang’s expression was cold and grim. In the past, the woman in his arms would have long since thrown her arms around his neck, acting clingy and showering him with sweet nothings. Not like now, where she let him hold her so stiffly, exuding an aura that kept him a thousand miles away.

Everyone’s spirits were low. The pain in their bodies and the sharp, aching fullness in their Dantians were nothing compared to the sorrow and sliver of despair in their hearts.

However, they all remembered Little Hong’s words. Even if Si Shuo disliked them, they couldn’t get too close and risk overstimulating her.

After all, her spiritual power was extremely fragile and couldn’t handle any major shocks.

By the time they arrived home, Si Shuo was already sleeping peacefully.

Yin Jiang carefully laid her down, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and gazed at her for a long moment before finally leaving.

"I’m going to take the Upgrade Pill," Zhi Le announced. He had been mulling it over the entire way and had come to this difficult decision. His Cultivation Level was the lowest among them, and after the day’s events, his Dantian and meridians were severely damaged. His only option was to take the Upgrade Pill ahead of schedule to repair and strengthen his Dantian. It was a pity—he had originally planned on waiting until he reached Level 15 and hit a bottleneck before using it.

Ali raised her hand. "Father Zhi Le, first let me return the talent that Liwa stole from you!"

So much had happened on the Southern Continent that they had completely forgotten about it.

Ali muttered an incantation. Zhi Le’s Dantian began to revolve at high speed, and infused with the Power of the Great Path, it gradually grew fuller and more perfectly round. The cracks on its surface vanished, and it slowly began to expand.

His cultivation immediately began to soar, jumping two entire levels before stabilizing at the Peak of Level 14!

When he opened his eyes, his entire aura had transformed, and his meridians were completely healed.

Talk about a latecomer overtaking the pack! The others felt a brief flash of envy.

However, they all took Revitalizing Pills to mend their internal injuries, followed by Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills to further strengthen their bodies.

Just as they were brooding over how to interact with Si Shuo, they heard a commotion coming from where Jiang Guo was being held. They couldn’t help but grit their teeth...
