Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 390 - 389: Respect

The system, knowing roughly what its host was currently most worried about, continued, "Right now, you have been reborn through fire, and your aura and appearance have changed. As long as you don’t actively reveal your aura, no one can know of your existence."

"But if you reveal your aura, it might once again attract that main body. His strength is too great, and if he kills you again, it will also bring danger to Xiao Jihan and them."

"So for now, it’s best for you to continue disguising yourself, don’t go looking for them. First, recover your health, find the Soul Gathering Lamp, and get stronger."

"When Mei Qingchen’s ability strengthens, he should be able to divine the news that you are still alive, so there’s no need to worry."

"They know you are the Heavenly Destiny Girl, based on this, they should believe you are still alive."

"However, I would have never thought that the one who helped you be reborn from fire and brought you back to life was Yue Wuhen."

The system said this with a sense of emotion.

It felt that Yue Wuhen had sacrificed too much.

But as long as its host made an effort to save Yue Wuhen, it believed Yue Wuhen could surely be saved.

Hearing the system’s words, Su Muyao’s face turned paler.

Su Muyao looked at Ye Ying and said, "Thank you for telling me this."

Ye Ying could feel her mood was not good, as if she was somewhat depressed.

Seeing her like this, Ye Ying felt sorry for her too, and softly said, "I will tell you everything you want to know and everything I know."

At this moment, the system whispered in Su Muyao’s ear, "Host, you can tell Ye Ying that you want to see what he looks like under the mask."

Su Muyao’s thoughts were interrupted by the system’s words. Looking at Ye Ying, she communicated with the system through her mind, "I can’t do that. He must have his reasons for wearing the mask. I should respect him."

"Moreover, he has helped and saved me. I can’t be so self-willed. Sometimes indulging one’s whims only brings harm to others."

Having gone through so much, Su Muyao became more cautious in her actions.

She didn’t want to hurt anyone anymore.

Especially those who were willing to protect and be good to her, she should cherish them all the more.

Even though Su Muyao wasn’t in a good mood, she didn’t want to show her emotions to Ye Ying. She smiled at Ye Ying and said, "Knowing this is enough."

"You’ve taken care of me these days, you must be tired. You should rest well, I can take care of myself."

She needed to recover quickly and find a way to the Sea Clan.

As Su Muyao spoke and tried to get out of bed, her body was too weak. As soon as she got out, her legs softened, causing her to lose balance and fall to the side.

Luckily, Ye Ying quickly caught Su Muyao.

And so Su Muyao ended up falling into Ye Ying’s arms.

When Ye Ying held her, his hands stiffened, not knowing how to position them.

"Sorry, I..."

He wanted to apologize; he didn’t do it on purpose.

But he carefully lifted her up and placed her back on the bed. "You’re still very weak. I consulted a witch doctor, and you need to continue taking medicine these days."

"You should rest well. I’ll prepare some food for you, and you can eat a bit later. It’ll make you feel better."

Su Muyao held onto Ye Ying’s sleeve and said, "I want to wash up first."

Not knowing how long she’d been unconscious, she loved cleanliness and just wanted to wash up.

Ye Ying’s eyes softened, with a sheen like water, and he said gently, "Alright, I’ll prepare some water."

Ye Ying was a Sea Clan Beastman and could control water freely.

But he was still afraid of revealing his identity, so he personally prepared the water and used his superpower to control the temperature.

"Miss Su, it’s ready."

Ye Ying prepared the bath and warm water in the room, set up the rack and bathing items, and then went out.

Su Muyao washed up, brushed her teeth, and then entered the tub for a bath.

When she looked at the petals in the tub, she was startled.

The system sighed, "Host, Ye Ying is really thoughtful. He even prepared so many petals for you and bathing items, especially that box which contains pearl powder for beauty."

"At times like this, pearl powder is an extremely precious item. Top-noble forces may not even afford it."

Hearing the system, Su Muyao’s expression changed slightly.

Of course, she knew the value of pearls.

Not to mention the beauty cream made from pearl powder, which is expensive even at the Treasure Pavilion.

Remembering how Ye Ying gave her so many Spirit Stones before and prepared lots of things she could use, she couldn’t help but feel a ripple in her heart, "He is indeed very good."

Thinking back to her time on the Cang Beast Continent with Ye Ying, she felt a warmth emanating from him.

If it weren’t for encountering Ye Ying in the beginning, waking up in an unfamiliar place with no knowledge of Cang Beast Continent, she would have had a hard time figuring things out.

"But I have this strange feeling, as if there’s still something between us."

The system said, "Could it be you suspect Ye Ying?"

Knowing how the Snake Beastman disguised as Wen Nanxi killed her host, the system knew her host would never easily trust anyone again.

Su Muyao shook her head, "It’s not suspicion, just that I feel he’s hiding something."

"But if he wanted to harm me, he wouldn’t have saved me multiple times, so I believe he won’t hurt me."

"But I do question his motives, why he happened to be there to save and help me?"

Previously, Su Muyao wouldn’t have suspected people around her without reason.

But after experiencing the Wen Nanxi incident, Su Muyao couldn’t fully trust anyone anymore. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Moreover, her life was saved by Yue Wuhen’s sacrifice, she mustn’t let anything happen to herself.

The system suggested, "You can tentatively ask some questions. It’s actually okay."

Understanding that its host was kind-hearted and reluctant to ask direct questions for fear of hurting Ye Ying, and even more unwilling to straightforwardly ask Ye Ying to remove his mask.

...

After Su Muyao finished her bath and got dressed, she smelled the aroma of food.

The system spoke, "Host, I smell seafood. Ye Ying must be cooking."

Su Muyao stepped into the adjacent kitchen and saw Ye Ying cooking over the fire.

Standing tall and graceful, like a crane on snowy peaks in the clouds, or like the mist in a painting, even while doing such things, he emanated an elegant and noble aura akin to the moon over the mountains.

His every move was unhurried and very elegant.

Seemingly having heard a sound, Ye Ying turned his head.

He still wore his mask so that only his eyes could be seen by Su Muyao.

In that instant, warm light seemed to fragment in his eyes, as if a fervent emotion was about to overflow.

But just for a moment, his gaze turned calm and serene.

He said softly, "The meal will be ready soon."

Coming back to reality, Su Muyao said, "Let me help."

Although there was no real relationship between her and Ye Ying, he showed up around her, cared for her, protected her, saved her without hesitation, and even gave her Spirit Stones.

If he had no ulterior motive, she wouldn’t know how to repay this kindness.

She couldn’t accept Ye Ying’s kindness with peace of mind.

Ye Ying gently replied, "It’s almost done. With oil and smoke in the kitchen, you should rest in the room. I’ll call you in a bit."

Watching Ye Ying’s busy figure, seeing that he didn’t plan on letting her help, she couldn’t help but ask, "Ye Ying, may I ask you a presumptuous question?"

Ye Ying’s hands paused, and his fingers trembled slightly in unease, but he still replied, "Sure, you can ask anything."

Su Muyao asked, "Ye Ying, why do you save and care for me?"

"I don’t know how to repay you."
