Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 48: Do You Hate Me?

Xie Yi was stunned to hear this sentence.

He came to his senses and sighed, "Alas, originally, if Young Master stayed by Miss Su’s side, nourished by her aura, his health would gradually improve."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to the Young Master staying by Miss Su’s side in this way.

What if someone tried to harm the Young Master?

But only Miss Su could possibly heal the Young Master.

"Young Master, the High Priest said, the aura Ms. Su possesses completely matches yours, which is beneficial for your recovery."

"All these years, only Miss Su has a way."

Xie Yi actually wanted to persuade the Young Master to go to Miss Su’s side.

"However, Young Master, I also gathered some information about Miss Su."

Xie Guixue’s eyes, as cold as ice, flickered slightly as they turned to Xie Yi.

Xie Yi explained, "I heard she’s malicious and foolish, despised and exiled."

"Oh, right, Young Master, she previously had ten beast husbands, all of high status, from noble families with outstanding appearances and abilities."

"But before Miss Su was exiled, five of them forcibly annulled the contract with her."

"Miss Su didn’t agree, but they had their ways, forcibly nullifying half of their superpowers to break the contract. Tsk tsk, quite ruthless..."

As Xie Yi recounted these things, he felt quite emotional.

He sighed and shook his head as he spoke.

Listening to these words, Xie Guixue’s cold, icy brows seemed tinged with ink, hidden with a slight frost, making it hard for one to discern his emotions.

Seeing his Young Master neither speak nor stop him, Xie Yi continued, "But Young Master, I feel Miss Su doesn’t match the rumors at all."

"Is there something wrong with the rumors, or is Miss Su really good at pretending?"

Xie Yi pondered and said, "But the rumors say Miss Su abused her beast husbands, yet in reality, Miss Su treats them very well, even cooks for them personally. What other she-beast would treat her beast husbands this way?"

"They say Miss Su is good for nothing, but the food Miss Su makes, that grilled skewer alone, could outshine an Imperial Chef."

"I really don’t know what to believe anymore."

Xie Guixue calmly said, "Seeing is believing, rumors are not."

Listening to this, Xie Yi nodded and said, "Young Master, you have sharp insight. Indeed, we can’t believe rumors; we must see for ourselves."

"I feel Miss Su is very good, approachable, and sincere with others."

As he spoke, Xie Yi looked at his Young Master and suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, "Young Master, you..."

"Did you just use your ability, and your body is fine?"

"No, Young Master, why do I feel like your health has improved, is it just my imagination?"

"Could staying with Miss Su be beneficial to your health?"

Xie Yi was full of confusion.

Xie Guixue had apparently noticed this too.

Her aura’s superpower had just surged into his legs, then flowed into his body through the wound.

It repaired some issues within his body.

An incredible ability!

...

At this moment, Su Muyao was completely unaware of all this.

After confirming there was no danger, she continued collecting sunflowers with Xiao Jihan.

But for some reason, Su Muyao felt a bit distracted.

Yet she continued working diligently.

She couldn’t help but think of that beautiful Ice and Snow Spirit Beast.

Once they had collected nearly enough sunflowers, Xiao Jihan noticed she didn’t look well and asked softly, "Do you want to go home, wife?"

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "It’s still early, let’s not go home yet, let’s walk around a bit."

This walk led Su Muyao to discover some beets.

"It’s beets!"

Xiao Jihan asked softly, "Is it food?"

Su Muyao smiled and nodded, "Yes, it’s food, and more importantly, it can be used to make sugar."

Nowadays, sugar is scarce and very expensive.

There’s sugarcane in the south, but not in the north.

But beets will do just fine.

If these beets can be used to make sugar, it can be sold as brown sugar at the mutual market for Crystal Coins.

This realization immediately energized Su Muyao.

She was no longer listless as she had been a moment ago.

She began to seriously dig up the beets.

Xiao Jihan also came to help, "Wife, let me do it, you rest for a bit."

From dealing with sunflowers to now the beets, she hadn’t taken a break.

She had never come to the forest to work before.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "It’s okay, I have the strength to work."

Xiao Jihan’s expression shifted slightly. Seeing her determination, he didn’t try to persuade her further and continued to work with her.

By mid-afternoon, they had dug up almost enough, and Su Muyao stored the beets in her space.

Her hands were now covered in dirt.

Xiao Jihan took out a handkerchief and gently cleaned them for her.

His movements were very gentle.

Su Muyao looked up at Xiao Jihan.

At that moment, Xiao Jihan gave her a sense of illusion, as if he were her true beast husband, caring for and looking after her.

But reason told her it was not so.

This only meant he had a sense of responsibility.

And his usual nature was always to be diligent and responsible.

He truly was the next heir meticulously cultivated by the noble Xiao Family.

He had originally been married through her predecessor’s machinations.

"Xiao Jihan, do you hate me?"

Xiao Jihan paused briefly in his hand-cleaning actions upon hearing this question.

He looked down at her with a clear gaze, meeting her misty and clear eyes, his own eyes filled with a deep shadow.

"Wife, why would you say that?"

Su Muyao said, "Because you’re the heir carefully groomed by the Xiao Family, destined to become the Family Head."

"As the Xiao Family heir, you could marry a wife, choose a she-beast to enter the family."

"But because of me, you had no choice but to marry into this family."

"You were even mocked by others for it."

On this Beast World Continent, ordinary she-beasts generally marry beast husbands.

But in the power centers, noble family male beasts also marry, resulting in she-beasts joining their households.

It’s commonly known as joining wives.

Usually, they are she-beasts of lower status marrying into higher families.

Back in Beast Emperor City, Xiao Jihan was also a young master pursued by many she-beasts.

"It’s said that your family had already selected a joining wife for you back then."

Su Muyao was curious.

A joining wife should listen to her beast husband’s words.

That way, Xiao Jihan would be the one in charge at home, not having to prioritize a wife, nor suffer to take care of her.

Su Muyao felt somewhat sorry for him.

Xiao Jihan looked down at her curious eyes, feeling a bit helpless.

As a wife, did she really not care about these things?

She wasn’t like this before; whenever these topics came up, she would go crazy.

He had never explained before.

But now, Xiao Jihan still explained, "There wasn’t."

"I had never met any other she-beast, nor had my family chosen one for me."

At that time, when the family learned that he caught the eye of the notorious one from Beast Emperor City, they were immediately anxious to quickly arrange a marriage.

But before they had time to choose, and without having met any she-beast, he was pressured from all sides and was forced to marry her for the family.

The family had raised him, given him wealth and glory, and poured all of the family’s resources into him.

At that moment, it was his turn to contribute to the family.

Hate or not, it didn’t matter.
