Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 146: Cherishing Manner

At the sight of this, Mei Qingchen’s face changed dramatically.

He felt a bit unsettled and instinctively turned to Su Muyao, "Wife, I didn’t mean to."

"I didn’t even exert much force."

"He was clearly strong, who would have thought it would turn out like this."

Wen Nanxi squatted down to examine, "Perhaps it’s due to the use of the Soul Searching Technique."

The Space System said, "Host, using the Soul Searching Technique does indeed consume Original Ability, and it’s quite brutal, violating the Heavenly Dao, so it can’t be used frequently."

"Plus, when he directly extracted the light shadows to show you, it consumed even more ability, so fainting from weakness is normal."

The Space System couldn’t help but click its tongue and exclaim, "He really has gone to great lengths to stay."

Su Muyao saw that it was still early, and she wanted to continue hunting and gathering herbs.

She wanted to open the shop in Yunxiao City as soon as possible.

Su Muyao stepped forward and squatted down to check on Shen Ci’an’s condition.

Perhaps due to being a Blood Beast, a layer of mist surrounded his aura, so she couldn’t discern his body’s specific condition, but indeed there wasn’t any life-threatening danger.

Thinking of how he had just acted for her sake, Su Muyao took out some Spiritual Spring Water from her space, fed it to him, and treated him with some Wood Element Ability.

She didn’t mind using the Wood Element Ability now, as it wouldn’t decrease her ability.

Once sure he was alright, Su Muyao said, "Mei Qingchen, I might need to trouble you to send him home and help take care of him there."

"Why me?"

Mei Qingchen instinctively didn’t want to take him home.

Su Muyao’s gaze darkened.

Seeing the change in Su Muyao’s expression, Mei Qingchen quickly changed his tone, "Wife, it’s not that I don’t want to, I just want to stay by your side, help you hunt, and protect you."

He had missed out once and didn’t want to miss out again; he wanted to stay by his wife’s side.

Su Muyao said, "I have Wen Nanxi and the others to protect me, I’m fine, and I have the ability to protect myself now. With Shen Ci’an here, we can’t focus on hunting and gathering herbs."

Hua Linye looked at Mei Qingchen and said, "Mei Qingchen, you’re still only thinking about your own feelings, not considering the feelings of the wife."

"Besides, you are the one who knocked him out."

"If you don’t want to, I will send Shen Ci’an home."

Hua Linye understood now that the wife’s wishes were the most important.

Mei Qingchen quickly said, "No, I’ll follow the wife’s arrangement, I’ll take him home."

So, Mei Qingchen transformed into his true form, carried Shen Ci’an, and went straight home.

Meanwhile, Su Muyao and the others continued hunting and gathering herbs.

After that, there wasn’t much danger; they hunted quite a few prey and gathered many herbs.

Of course, when it came to gathering herbs, Wen Nanxi and the others were unfamiliar with the properties, so they couldn’t help Su Muyao gather them.

Su Muyao was also worried they might unknowingly touch some poisonous herbs, so she didn’t let them engage in gathering, just hunting, while she handled the herb gathering.

However, when it came to the properties of herbs, Xie Guixue could easily distinguish whether a herb was poisonous or not, he stepped forward to help, "Wife, I can gather herbs, I can distinguish, I won’t get poisoned."

Su Muyao looked into Xie Guixue’s clear and earnest eyes and nodded, "Alright, thank you for your hard work." Having someone helping indeed sped things up a bit.

But it was only when Xie Guixue really helped that Su Muyao realized he was actually faster than her at gathering.

Su Muyao was surprised, "Can you really distinguish them?"

The way he gathered herbs so quickly made it seem like he could easily identify whether or not the herb was poisonous.

Xie Guixue explained gently, "Yes, when I was young and lived in the old residence of the Xie Family, there were dedicated medicine fields within the family. It’s as if I was born to recognize those herbs, and since I’ve been frail since childhood and needed to drink medicine, I might know a bit more about these things."

Su Muyao felt Xie Guixue’s explanation was quite humble; he seemed to have learned without a teacher. He truly lived up to being an Ice and Snow Spirit Beast with an Ice Soul Heart, extremely intelligent.

Yet despite being so good, his physical condition was so severe.

"Among the herbs I collected today, some have good medicinal properties; I’ll brew some medicine for you to drink, and your body will improve."

Xie Guixue looked at her with serene and gentle eyes, "I don’t wish for the wife to go through hardship; my body isn’t that important."

Su Muyao found his attitude somewhat amusing, "But that other, more intense side isn’t the same."

Upon hearing this, Xie Guixue’s ice-like beautiful eyebrows and eyes flushed red, and his ears turned a deeper red, his blush strikingly beautiful and evoking a vivid sense of purity.

Such a sight made Su Muyao want to tease him, loving to see his shy lowered eyes with embarrassment.

But when she recalled the darker personality within him, Su Muyao decided to be more restrained.

Xie Guixue earnestly explained, "I... he rarely comes out before, but now I didn’t control it well."

Su Muyao didn’t want him to blame himself, "Don’t say that, whether it’s him or you, it’s all of you, both are good."

The Space System added, "Host, he might have a dual personality, one being the innocent side, the other being the darker obsessive side. When stimulated, the darker side is more likely to emerge, and his combat ability changes accordingly, the darker side is likely stronger."

"Host, his personality now isn’t really suitable for living with everyone in the courtyard. Your beast husbands now feel you’ve improved, and they’re starting to care, seeking your favor. Although he appears peaceful, he’s not inside, easily influenced."

Su Muyao asked, "So do you mean he’s better off staying in his separate oasis residence?"

The Space System replied, "When he is physically fine, he’s alright anywhere, but if his health falters and he’s influenced, he could run into issues."

Su Muyao understood the system’s words, "I’ll pay attention to these things and inquire about his preferences."

Her only wish was for those she cared about to be happy.

However, before she could say anything, Xie Guixue suggested, "Wife, after some time when we form the Contract, I’ll take you to visit my mother with the Xie Family, she will definitely like you."

Su Muyao, hearing this, moved her lips slightly, wanting to say that’s not necessarily true. Her reputation wasn’t great, and noble family heads typically despised her.

She still remembered the disdainful looks from those noble family heads in Beast Emperor City.

She wouldn’t know how Xie Guixue’s mother would react.

Speaking of which, she felt Mei Qingchen’s parents were genuinely kind.

Although Mei Qingchen had his faults, his parents were truly kind.

Thinking of the system’s words about Xie Guixue’s health, Su Muyao felt heartache for him, no matter his form, she liked both sides of Xie Guixue.

With an arched smile, she nodded directly, "Alright."

Seeing Su Muyao consent, Xie Guixue displayed an exquisite smile like ice, reached out, cautiously extending his arms to embrace Su Muyao.

Su Muyao sensed his movement, before he could act, she reached out and embraced him, raising her head to look at him, "If you want to hug me, just do it, or I’ll hug you."

As Su Muyao initiated the embrace, Xie Guixue’s body froze, he was unsure how to react.

In his cold yet picturesque eyes, icy blue light flickered, divine, mysterious, yet strikingly beautiful.

He looked down at her, his gaze passionate though restrained, slowly lifting his hand, gently placing it on her waist.

He held her gently, with such cherishing tenderness.
