Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 22: Used to Relying on Myself

Su Muyao snapped back to reality and shook her head, saying, "I’m fine."

"This little bit doesn’t tire me out."

As she spoke, she slightly pulled away, avoiding Wen Nanxi’s touch.

Wen Nanxi watched her avoiding action, a faint look of wistful disappointment in his eyes

and an inexplicable feeling of sourness rose in his heart.

Su Muyao actually didn’t want to immerse herself in their gentleness.

She wanted to keep herself calm and rational at all times.

"I picked some herbs, I’ll sun them in the yard first, and later I’ll process them to make some medicine bags."

She could also detoxify herself and suppress the fire poison for Hua Linye.

As for the wheat grains, she probably couldn’t make noodles tonight.

But she noticed the sweet potato starch had settled again.

Wen Nanxi walked over and asked, "Wife, do you need anything done?"

Su Muyao said, "We need to remove all the water on top, leaving only the sweet potato starch below."

Wen Nanxi nodded and used his superpower to absorb all the water from the jar, leaving clean sweet potato starch at the bottom.

Normally, sweet potato starch needs to be dried before use.

Su Muyao thought of Hua Linye’s fire ability, he had dried her hair with his superpower before.

She turned her head to look at him.

Unexpectedly, Hua Linye’s gaze was already on her.

When she turned her head, she immediately met Hua Linye’s enchanting eyes.

He quickly walked over and softly asked, "Wife, do you need me to help with anything?"

"Can you dry this starch, just gently dry it, like sun-drying it."

Hua Linye smiled and said, "Alright."

This was very simple.

He used his fire element ability and quickly dried the sweet potato starch.

"Wife, is this alright?"

Su Muyao touched the dried sweet potato starch and with a smile said, "Hm, this is very good."

"Tonight I’ll make sweet potato noodles for you all."

Su Muyao set aside some for making noodles that night, and stored the rest of the dried sweet potato starch.

This way, it’s easy to store.

Xiao Jihan watched Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye hovering around Su Muyao, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

That night, Su Muyao made spare rib fish ball soup, a dish of braised pork, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, and sweet potato noodles.

Sweet potato noodles as the main course, three large plates of dishes, enough for the four of them.

When everyone sat down to eat, Hua Linye and the others found each food item incredibly delicious.

Especially the sweet potato noodles, something they had never eaten before.

It turned out to be so smooth and delicious.

And the braised pork, they didn’t know how it was made but it was so tender and fragrant.

Also the spare rib fish ball soup.

In the past, they didn’t like to eat spare rib meat, feeling it was all bones with little meat.

Who would’ve thought that the spare rib soup made this way, the meat was more delicious than pure meat.

Wen Nanxi looked at Su Muyao’s fingers with a tender expression, saying, "Wife’s food is very delicious."

"From now on, you just need to ask, and we’ll do it."

"Wife’s palm got scalded, it must hurt a lot."

While cooking, Su Muyao’s finger got burned by splashing oil.

Su Muyao didn’t think much of it, but Wen Nanxi looked at her with a tender and pitying expression.

As if she had received a serious injury.

Su Muyao didn’t feel anything special.

In the post-apocalyptic days, when her superpower wasn’t strong enough, getting seriously injured and bleeding in battles was unavoidable.

She had become numb to pain, a simple bandage would do.

No need to be so pretentious.

It’s just in the Beast World Continent everyone protects the she-beasts so well, they become a bit more delicate.

"It’s nothing, this little burn doesn’t hurt at all."

"Besides, when cooking, everyone helped together."

She didn’t have the habit of waiting for things to be done for her or relying on others.

Probably a habit formed during the post-apocalypse.

She was used to relying on herself, being self-reliant is dependable.

Relying on others blindly can easily get you killed in the post-apocalypse.

When Wen Nanxi spoke, his gaze was fixed on Su Muyao.

Seeing her momentarily distracted look then her indifferent expression, for some reason, his heart seemed to be pierced.

Just a moment ago, her expression was lonely and desolate, surrounded by hard defenses, isolating herself from everyone.

Even Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan could sense the subtle change in Su Muyao’s aura.

Her expression became restrained, with a trace of alienation.

Originally, everyone found the food especially delicious, but sensing Su Muyao’s slight displeasure, they didn’t say much.

After filling their stomachs, everyone scrambled to clear the dishes.

Su Muyao went to the yard to handle the herbs.

Once everything was tidied, Wen Nanxi was the first to come to Su Muyao’s side.

"Wife, whatever you need done, let me do it!"

"It’s fine, I can handle it myself."

Wen Nanxi looked at her petite figure, a feeling of compassion rushing over him, he carefully apologized, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that at dinner."

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "It’s not your fault."

"Is wife angry?"

Su Muyao replied, "No, I’m not angry."

Wen Nanxi softly asked, and Su Muyao’s answers were all normal.

But Wen Nanxi felt she had placed a barrier around herself, keeping everyone out.

Making him want to approach but unable to.

He could only silently accompany her, even not knowing what to say.

Xiao Jihan watched for a while, then went back inside.

Hua Linye stayed in the yard looking for chores to do.

With nothing to do, he took out a cloth to wipe door frames.

After Su Muyao busied herself for a while, she made four insect repellent bags.

"These three are for you, they’re insect repellent medicine bags."

"This way, if you put them by your bedside at night, mosquitoes and bugs won’t bite you."

Wen Nanxi looked at the insect repellent medicine bag she handed over, a complex feeling in his heart.

Ever since the incident two days ago, her temperament had changed, and these past two days, she had been busying herself for them.

Even at meals, she ate very little herself.

Why is she being nice to them?

But he couldn’t understand her intentions.

Unlike before, her malice and obsessive madness were so obvious, one could easily guess her thoughts.

Wen Nanxi restrained his expression and softly said, "Thank you, wife."

"You’re welcome, you all usually take good care of me, even risking hunting, what I do is nothing."

Anyway, she had to make insect repellent bags for herself, making a few more wasn’t a hassle at all.

"As beast husbands, we should take good care of the wife."

Su Muyao showed a slight smile and said, "You are good to me, as a wife I also want to be good to you."

"Care is mutual, there are no obligations or rights."

"I just hope that in the future you remember this little thing I’ve done."

Just don’t end up turning on me.

A silent, dark shade passed through Wen Nanxi’s eyes, he realized she actually worried they might harm her.

But how could that be!

He knew no words would convince her, only actions in the future could earn her trust.

Hua Linye, hearing these words, felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart.

At night when sleeping.

Su Muyao originally couldn’t sleep, suddenly she smelled a familiar subtle fragrance.

She opened her eyes immediately and saw the fiery red fox beside her bed.

"Hua Linye, why are you here?"

In the middle of the night, weren’t they all avoiding her like the plague?

So she really didn’t expect anyone among them would show up in her room at night.
