Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 76: Yunxiao City

The three people were talking, surrounded by a subtle atmosphere.

The tension was somewhat rigid and cold.

Each one seemed unwilling to yield to the other.

Su Muyao didn’t expect this at all.

She wanted to quietly step back, wait for the three to make a choice, and then directly take her to Yunxiao City.

Just as she was about to step back, the three turned to look at her.

Su Muyao gave an awkward smile, "Oh, I forgot there’s something I haven’t taken yet, I’ll go get it."

Hua Linye directly came to Su Muyao’s side, looking as if he wouldn’t let her evade.

With a seductive smile in his fox-like eyes, he said, "Why doesn’t the wife make the choice?"

"Who does the wife most want to take you to the mutual market?"

Wen Nanxi spoke gently, "Very well, let the wife choose!"

Xiao Jihan also agreed, "Let’s listen to the wife!"

She felt that if she opened her mouth, they might start fighting.

She glanced at Wen Nanxi, gentle as jade, noble and elegant.

Honestly, if she had to choose, she might choose Wen Nanxi.

Because ever since she arrived here, Wen Nanxi had always been gentle to her.

Without saying anything.

Perhaps it was a bit of a fledgling dependency.

But she didn’t want chaos in the backyard either.

They hadn’t even reached the mutual market, hadn’t sold anything yet.

When they got to the city’s mutual market, if things got busy, she would need help from these three.

She also needed protection from the three.

Under their gaze, an invisible pressure flowed in the air.

Suddenly Su Muyao had a flash of inspiration: "Why don’t we draw lots to decide?"

After she said it, she felt that the idea was indeed good.

This way, it was based on probability.

Upon hearing Su Muyao’s words, the three of them withdrew their imposing aura.

The tense atmosphere in the air dissipated immediately.

"That’s fair too!"

The three had no objections to this suggestion.

Then the three drew lots, and the decision was made quickly.

On the way there, Hua Linye would carry her; on the way back, it would be Wen Nanxi.

Not Xiao Jihan.

The aura around Xiao Jihan became chilly.

Su Muyao felt that since that day, after helping Xiao Jihan treat his cold syndrome, Xiao Jihan had become somewhat different from usual.

She didn’t explore further.

Hua Linye was very happy, "Wife, let me carry you!"

As he spoke, he transformed into his beast form, then bent his knees in front of Su Muyao, akin to kneeling in beast form.

This was different from before.

Before, he would use his tail to wrap Su Muyao onto his back.

This time, he lowered his head and knees.

Su Muyao moved her expression, saying, "Okay!"

Hua Linye then carefully used his tail to wrap Su Muyao onto his back.

"Sit tight, if you’re uncomfortable, please tell me."

Hua Linye tried hard to make his aura softer, fearing it might make the wife uncomfortable.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the wife didn’t want him to carry her next time.

At this moment, he could feel the gaze of Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan.

But as long as he could carry the wife, nothing else mattered.

Since the wife was worried about the danger in the mountains and forests earlier, she hadn’t ventured there, and they hadn’t had the chance to be close to the wife carrying her.

This time there was finally an opportunity.

"You can hold onto my tail; it’ll be more stable this way."

As Hua Linye spoke, he circled his nine tails, enclosing Su Muyao within them.

Thus, even if Su Muyao didn’t hold onto him, she wouldn’t fall, nor would there be any shaking.

Su Muyao’s expression moved, and she smiled, "Okay!"

She didn’t expect Hua Linye to be so meticulous and thoughtful.

It was like riding in a car, with a railing to hold, allowing her to freely observe the scenery around.

Hua Linye’s beast form as a Fox Beast was very tall, providing a good view.

Hua Linye began to carry Su Muyao swiftly forward.

Hua Linye’s pace was both fast and steady.

The wind of July wasn’t cold, giving her a refreshing feeling.

Su Muyao’s face involuntarily wore a smile.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan also transformed into their forms alongside, each flanking Su Muyao, ready to protect her.

They kept their pace in tune with Hua Linye’s.

...

More than half an hour later, they reached the gates of Yunxiao City.

At this time, dawn was just breaking.

But there were already many beastmen with goods queued at the city gates.

Some carried cargo; others had two beastmen lifting goods with wooden poles, carrying various items.

Obviously, they were here to enter the city to sell their goods at the market.

Hua Linye stopped, "Wife, entering the city requires lining up to pay the city entrance fee."

Su Muyao nodded, "Then I’d better get down first."

After Hua Linye let Su Muyao down, he transformed back into human form.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan also transformed back into human form.

Su Muyao leaned forward to take a look, "Do you have to pay to enter the city?"

She wasn’t sure about the amount, and didn’t want to pay excessively.

Seeing Su Muyao’s puzzled look, Wen Nanxi explained beside her, "This is an order from the Beast Emperor; all city gates must collect an entrance fee, used for city construction and protection."

"However, each city is fully managed by its City Lord who can independently decide the fee amount."

"Yunxiao City is relatively cheaper, requiring only one copper crystal coin."

Su Muyao nodded, "That’s indeed considered cheap."

So it’s fair for ordinary beastmen; otherwise, they’d earn crystal coins in the city only to pay them as entrance fees, which would be too exploitative.

Su Muyao only knew this was the closest city to the Li Tribe, which was why she instinctively decided to sell goods in Yunxiao City.

But she wasn’t sure about Yunxiao City’s internal environment and law enforcement.

"Is Yunxiao City considered one of the better cities in the north?"

Wen Nanxi responded gently, "Yes, for ordinary beastmen, it’s recognized as the best city."

"During the mutual market, the City Lord established rules against personal beastman fights; any found fighting would be strictly punished and expelled from the city, never allowed entry again."

"So everyone prefers to come to Yunxiao City for transactions; the environment is relatively fair and just."

Thus, Su Muyao gained a better understanding of Yunxiao City.

If Yunxiao City had good law enforcement, business would thrive, and they could come frequently to set up stalls, couldn’t they?

While waiting dully in line, the beastmen ahead began to speak.

"Have you heard? Young Master Yun of Yunxiao City has fallen seriously ill, and City Lord Yun is seeking a divine healer; it’s rumored Young Master Yun might not make it."

"Is it true? If something happens to Young Master Yun, won’t Yun City fall into others’ hands, causing a potential increase in entrance fees?"

"I’ve heard other cities charge more, whereas City Lord Yun and Young Master Yun consider us ordinary beastmen’s situation."
