Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 26: So Sweet

Hua Linye poured out the medicine he had just brewed.

The medicinal soup was still a bit hot, so he needed to wait a moment before drinking it.

Hua Linye then went to handle the leftover dregs and clean the pot.

After tidying everything up, Hua Linye returned to drink the medicine.

When he drank it, his expression was indifferent, and he drank it all in one go without any pause.

Su Muyao observed his calm and numb demeanor, guessing that he had suffered a lot in the past.

This medicine was her concoction, so she knew how bitter and unpalatable it was.

He actually didn’t even furrow his brows.

After thinking for a moment, Su Muyao took out a few pieces of rock candy from the space and said, "Hold out your hand!"

Hua Linye instinctively extended his hand.

Su Muyao placed the rock candy in his hand and said, "This is candy, let it dissolve in your mouth, it can get rid of the medicine’s taste."

Although Hua Linye had never seen such candy before, he didn’t think much about it and directly put it into his mouth.

Soon after placing it in his mouth, he felt a surge of indescribable sweetness spreading in his mouth.

This sweetness seemed to seep into his heart.

"So sweet!"

Su Muyao smiled and said, "Now the medicine won’t taste bitter."

Upon hearing this, Hua Linye’s heart was stirred.

Having been tormented and controlled by Fire Poison for so long, no one ever cared whether he found the medicine bitter.

No one ever gave him candy before.

Hua Linye’s heart was shaken, and his fox-like eyes revealed a rare moment of sincerity, covered with a layer of mist.

Beneath the mist was a gentle and charming gaze.

"The wife is really nice!"

Su Muyao met Hua Linye’s gaze and thought, maybe he was touched?

If that’s the case, he probably won’t act against her when he regains his freedom in three months!

With this, Su Muyao felt relieved.

Though Hua Linye appeared rebellious, deep down he was someone who never experienced warmth since childhood.

Therefore, she thought it wise to make peace with Hua Linye, and offering warmth should be effective.

Hua Linye naturally didn’t know what Su Muyao was thinking.

At this moment, he looked at her with his fox-like eyes charming and slightly misted, almost rippling like gentle waves, murmured hoarsely, "The wife should always be this nice, alright?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you shouldn’t turn back into the way you were before, okay?"

For a moment, Su Muyao didn’t know how to respond.

Even she didn’t know why she had traveled to this Beast World Continent.

She consulted the Space System, asking, "Space System, is the original soul still present?"

"Host, the original soul had issues and has long since dissipated; this body was meant to be yours."

"It’s just that now things have returned to their original trajectory, so going forward, it’s all you, Host."

"Host need not worry about any unforeseen changes."

Listening to this, Su Muyao felt something seemed off.

But before she could think further, she felt a bit of pain in her palm.

It was Hua Linye gripping her hand tightly, his gaze carrying a hint of panic, "Wife, you—you will always be here, right?"

Not hearing Su Muyao’s response continued to cause Hua Linye a bit of anxiety.

He really didn’t want to face that previous wife.

Su Muyao nodded with a smile, saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t turn back to how I was, I’ll always be like this."

Now she was truly herself.

So, Hua Linye relaxed.

Watching the smile on his wife’s face, Hua Linye felt a hint of sweetness in his heart, unsure whether it was from the candy or another reason.

He had drunk too many medicines to deal with the Fire Poison, leaving him numb to their tormenting taste.

This was the first time he felt that drinking medicine wasn’t so bitter, and he didn’t reject the feeling inside.

Because the wife had candy.

After drinking the medicine, Hua Linye reluctantly left.

He had to take responsibility for hunting and gathering more food.

Otherwise, when the snowy season arrives, not having stored enough food and firewood to last through winter could lead to starvation and freezing.

He couldn’t let the wife go hungry or freeze.

...

After Hua Linye left, Su Muyao continued with her work.

She took the wheat she had stored in the space from yesterday and placed it in the courtyard.

She began to thresh the wheat grains.

Normally, using primitive methods to collect wheat would mean controlling the stone roller for threshing, ensuring the wheat can be separated.

But the wheat grains from Beast World Continent were two to three times larger compared to those from the apocalypse era, allowing them to be threshed directly.

Su Muyao periodically glanced at Xiao Jihan.

Wanting Xiao Jihan’s help with the work.

But with Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye absent from home, she honestly feared angering Xiao Jihan and getting impaled by his Ice Blade.

Xiao Jihan re-split the firewood from yesterday and stacked it neatly.

Although working silently, he could naturally feel Su Muyao’s gaze.

When he turned to look at her, Su Muyao quickly lowered her head, pretending to be busy with work.

After several instances of this, Xiao Jihan spoke quietly, "Does the wife have something to ask?"

"No... nothing!"

Xiao Jihan said, "I’ve split the firewood and stacked it; let me know if there’s anything else to do."

Xiao Jihan, with his graceful demeanor, put himself in a low posture.

As long as the wife didn’t intend to drug him to sleep, beat him, or scold him, he was accustomed to dealing with everything.

Seeing Xiao Jihan at this moment, Su Muyao noticed his expression was cold yet earnest, without any sign of reluctance.

Pressing her lips together, Su Muyao said, "Well, these wheat grains need to be threshed, then they can be sun-dried and made into food."

"Alright, I’ll do that."

Su Muyao gave him a smile she considered somewhat friendly, "Thank you for your effort!"

Su Muyao instinctively felt slightly distant and constrained with Xiao Jihan.

Naturally, Xiao Jihan could sense it too.

"Not a problem."

Saying this, Xiao Jihan approached, and Su Muyao instinctively made room, keeping her distance from him.

Not wanting him to think she was finding an excuse to deliberately get close.

Given the memories of the previous self, that’s exactly how it was.

The previous self most wanted to win over Xiao Jihan.

Only because the calm aura around Xiao Jihan was similar to Jiang Mochuan, whom the previous self liked.

Unfortunately, despite countless efforts, the previous self never succeeded.

She didn’t want to recall those memories, even though it wasn’t her doing, it was the same body.

So recalling those memories made her feel unbearable shame.

Xiao Jihan directly used superpower control, and soon enough, the wheat grains were separated.

With a flick of Xiao Jihan’s fingers, the wheat grains were all collected in the nearby barrel.

Su Muyao watched this scene in amazement.

Superpowers could be used this way.

This way was much faster than using bare hands.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Jihan’s expression shifted slightly, giving Su Muyao a meaningful look.

She had never said thank you before.

"This is my duty."

So there was no need for thanks.

This made things much easier, as Su Muyao poured the wheat grains out to dry on one side of the courtyard.

Under the sunny weather, by afternoon they could be taken to the mill to grind into flour.

By evening, they could make pasta to eat.

Su Muyao’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

With the wheat handled, she could start marinating and smoking meat.

Just at that moment, suddenly a chilling voice came from the entrance.

The icy tone was like snow falling in a secluded valley.

Pleasant but with a cold edge.

Su Muyao found the laughter somewhat mocking, with a familiar feel.

She looked up towards the entrance and saw a stunning man in black standing there.

Beautiful enough to seem unreal, like a dark night’s blooming rose.
