Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 95: Young City Lord

Su Muyao lowered her head, not daring to meet everyone’s eyes, and explained, "Um, it’s not what you think. It’s just that Wen Nanxi is injured, and I gave him some tonic."

"His ability to level up is still related to his physique."

"Yes, that’s it."

What happened last night cannot be told to everyone.

Otherwise, breakfast would be skipped.

The atmosphere was tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.

Wen Nanxi looked at Su Muyao with a gentle and indulgent expression in his eyes.

Mei Qingchen looked at Wen Nanxi and felt he was acting strange.

Someone who was once calm and composed now showed such a gentle and indulgent expression.

What’s going on here?

Everyone seemed abnormal.

They used to dislike Su Muyao, but now, in such a short time, they began vying for her favor.

Mei Qingchen thought he wouldn’t become like that.

Little did he know he’d be proven wrong later.

Since it was about medicine, Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan didn’t say much.

Because Su Muyao had prepared medicine for them too.

One was for treating fire poison, and the other for cold symptoms.

Seeing the atmosphere had improved, Su Muyao then urged everyone to eat breakfast.

Mei Qingchen quickly started to eat.

He was hungry, and smelling the aroma of the food earlier, it felt torturous.

He didn’t even know what flavor it was.

This time, he could finally taste it.

Even though Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye made the food, they said they had learned their cooking skills from Su Muyao.

After tasting it, Mei Qingchen realized how delicious it was.

His phoenix eyes gleamed with bright light, showing a look of amazement.

Completely captivated by the food.

So...so delicious!

Mei Qingchen ignored everything else and began eating quickly.

Even though he ate quickly, as the heir of the Mei Family, he had been raised with a noble identity and ate elegantly, just quicker than usual.

Moreover, he ate without making any sound.

Hua Linye looked at Mei Qingchen and said flatly, "Now you realize how good the food is!"

Mei Qingchen couldn’t refute this and responded softly, "Mm!"

Hua Linye showed a deliberately regretful expression, "Although we learned our cooking from the wife, the taste is still far inferior to hers, barely one-tenth as good."

"It’s a pity. You used to refuse the food she offered, and maybe now you won’t even have the chance to eat it."

After learning cooking, they wouldn’t let the wife cook. From now on, they would be the ones cooking.

Mei Qingchen felt a lump in his throat.

He thought Hua Linye must have done it on purpose.

He wouldn’t admit he regretted it.

He wished he had eaten earlier!

Mei Qingchen didn’t say anything in rebuttal and continued eating silently.

Because he was too embarrassed to refute.

...

After eating, cleaning up, everyone then protected Su Muyao and went to the forest.

Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan all wanted to carry Su Muyao to the forest.

Wen Nanxi said gently, "According to previous rules, it should be me carrying the wife."

Hua Linye insisted, "That’s an old rule. Now we protect the wife together to the mountain; those rules don’t apply."

Xiao Jihan spoke slowly, "Wife, last time when going to Yunxiao City, they carried you there and back, and I didn’t get a chance."

Xiao Jihan’s voice was softer, losing the chilly sharpness he once had.

Su Muyao hesitated.

Mei Qingchen stood nearby, arms folded, lazily remarked, "If the wife doesn’t know who to choose, why not let me carry the wife!"

"Or, my sword can work too!"

Hua Linye and the others soon stopped squabbling and went up to beat Mei Qingchen.

"The wife didn’t say to let you go to the forest."

Mei Qingchen insisted, "I’m the wife’s Beast Husband, it’s my duty to protect her, so I’m going too."

No matter how they fought, he refused to leave.

Moreover, Mei Qingchen didn’t fight back, deliberately showing his injuries to Su Muyao.

Su Muyao turned her gaze away and looked at Xiao Jihan, "Let Xiao Jihan take me today!"

This time it’s better to balance it, or there would be another fight.

Ugh, such a headache!

...

In the forest, Su Muyao gathered ingredients, while Wen Nanxi and the others hunted nearby, keeping her protected while gathering food.

Su Muyao also collected many herbs.

Hua Linye eagerly helped, saying, "Wife, I’ll help you gather herbs!"

He had helped gather herbs before, now with more experience.

Su Muyao stopped him, "These are poisonous; don’t touch them recklessly."

Even Su Muyao wore gloves from her space while picking the herbs.

Upon hearing this, Hua Linye’s face changed.

"Wife, these poisons are too dangerous, please be careful not to hurt yourself!"

Hua Linye anxiously watched Su Muyao’s hands, afraid the poison would touch her skin.

Seeing her in gloves, he felt somewhat relieved.

Su Muyao explained, "These are for making some poisonous and sedative concoctions, useful for self-defense in critical times."

"I see now!"

Yet Hua Linye felt a bit lost; if they could protect the wife well, she wouldn’t need these methods.

After collecting the poisonous herbs, Su Muyao stored them in her space.

She continued wandering in the forest and unexpectedly found green and chili peppers.

"There are green peppers and chili peppers!"

Su Muyao was ecstatic.

With these, some dishes would taste particularly delicious with added spice.

Green pepper stir-fry with meat paired with rice is the most flavorful.

Mei Qingchen saw Su Muyao excitedly and couldn’t help but say, "These can’t be eaten."

"Otherwise, such obvious red things would’ve already been picked clean."

Su Muyao coldly glanced at Mei Qingchen, "That’s because you know nothing."

Chili peppers can also be used to make chili sauce.

Hua Linye agreed, "Exactly, wife, he doesn’t understand. I’ll help pick these for the wife."

If the wife says they can be eaten, then they must be edible.

Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan returned with their prey and also helped with picking.

Mei Qingchen felt unappreciated despite his good intentions, but he begrudgingly followed and helped pick too.

Su Muyao ignored him.

The trip to the forest was a success.

But when they returned home, they saw a luxurious carriage at the gate.

Seeing the emblem on the carriage, Wen Nanxi’s gentle expression turned stern, "This is the Yun Family’s carriage."

Such cloud pattern, no one else would dare use it; it uniquely belongs to the Yun Family.

Xiao Jihan’s expression also turned serious, "City Lord Yun’s people? Why are they here?"

Hua Linye speculated, "Is it related to yesterday’s assassination?"

Hearing the commotion, the steward beside the carriage hurried over.

He was momentarily stunned by Su Muyao’s beauty.

How completely unlike the rumors; but recalling the Young City Lord’s instructions, he quickly said, "Miss Su, hello!"

"I am the steward of the City Lord Mansion!"

"My Young City Lord mentioned your assassination yesterday as his failure to manage Yunxiao City’s security well. I’ve brought some items from the Young City Lord to apologize and help calm Miss Su’s nerves."
