Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 170: Let Her Make a Choice

Su Muyao’s face turned even paler upon hearing these words.

Her expression became somewhat lost, as if she was recalling the scenes from her dream.

It turns out it was because of the soul.

Was it because of her?

Was it due to the impact on his soul caused by him residing in a cat’s body and being killed while saving her?

Thinking of this, Su Muyao felt a suffocating pain in her heart, full of guilt and discomfort.

Yet, her Wood Element Ability was of no use; she felt deeply powerless at this moment.

Just then, the Space System spoke: "Host, what’s the matter? I just fell asleep to avoid interrupting your contract with Xie Guixue."

"Is there a problem now?"

The system was quite worried about its host.

It had blocked itself at that time, fearing the host would be embarrassed, to facilitate their contract, but now it sensed something was wrong with the host’s aura, making it quite concerned.

"Host, are you feeling unwell?"

The system’s attention was solely on Su Muyao, oblivious to anything else.

Su Muyao, looking at Xie Guixue in that state and listening to Doctor Lu’s words, likely due to feeling upset, felt unwell herself, her head spinning painfully.

Yet she forcefully clenched her fingers, her nails digging into her palms, causing pain and drawing blood, but Su Muyao seemed unaware.

She was simply afraid of fainting, using the pain to stay conscious.

Upon hearing the Space System’s words, Su Muyao hoarsely responded: "Guixue has issues with his body, he is currently unconscious, cold, and Doctor Lu mentioned it’s his soul that’s the problem."

"It’s likely related to me."

The system exclaimed: "How could there be a problem? His body was healed by you, Host, the contract shouldn’t have any issues."

"Even if his body is problematic now, you can’t be blamed, Host."

"It’s not the host’s fault, don’t be upset."

"The Ice and Snow Spirit Beast may inherently be unique, soul matters are beyond human control."

"This Xie Guixue does seem to have problems with his body, oh, the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast is indeed extraordinary, Host, don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re just too exhausted, needing to be cautious everywhere..."

Seeing its host sad and upset, the system was quite displeased.

"Also, it’s strange, Host, your superpower only increased by Level 1 this time, normally it should be at least Level 2."

"After all, he is the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast, immensely gifted."

The system felt odd, unable to identify the problem.

Su Muyao seriously stated: "He is related to my past life’s pet cat, Lanlan. When I first encountered Lanlan, it should have been dead. Later, a part of Xie Guixue’s soul temporarily resided in it, leading to him being harmed by zombies while saving me, injuring his soul severely, perhaps destabilizing it constantly, causing the contract to further trouble his soul."

The system exclaimed with surprise: "Lanlan? If his soul resided in a cat, it means part of his soul traversed to the apocalyptic world where you were, Host, how can it be..."

The system found it hard to believe, and after a period of silence, sighed: "No wonder that cat developed sentience."

"Ah..."

The system sighed, somewhat at a loss for words.

In the past life, it indeed was that cat that saved the host, making the cat a substantial emotional knot for her.

So much so, upon seeing the Cat Beast in danger in Yunxiao City, she instinctively went to rescue it, a primal bodily reaction.

Her host is truly rich in emotions and righteousness.

Su Muyao spoke to Xie Yi and Doctor Lu: "I will go find the Moon Clan."

She was willing, for the sake of Xie Guixue, to seek help from Yue Wuhen, whom once lifted their marriage contract, he being the Young Master of the Moon Clan surely has solutions.

Xie Yi said: "Miss Su, my wife maintains contact with the Clan Elders of the Moon Clan, she can seek them out faster and more conveniently."

Su Muyao replied: "You go find the Madam, I will go seek out the Moon Clan."

Double insurance.

At that moment, the door outside the Ice Palace was suddenly opened as Master Xie entered saying: "No need."

"No need to trouble Miss Su, I will directly take my son back to find the Moon Clan Elders."

Master Xie entered with many others immediately.

Master Xie didn’t even glance at Su Muyao, directly bypassing her to quickly reach the bedside, looking at the unconscious Xie Guixue, his eyes welled up instantly.

"Guixue, Guixue, wake up, mother is here to see you, mother shouldn’t have left you here alone..."

"Guixue..."

Master Xie called out a few times, but Xie Guixue did not respond. Having learned the specifics from Doctor Lu, she picked up Xie Guixue, ready to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, she glanced at Su Muyao, initially with an observant look, then a fleeting disdainful expression crossed her eyes, though she quickly masked it.

After hesitating for a moment, she softened the pain in her heart, had Xie Guixue sent first to the arriving flying carriage, then addressed Su Muyao: "Are you called Su Muyao?"

"Yes, Muyao greets Master Xie."

Su Muyao paid her respects to Master Xie, this time clearly seeing Master Xie’s appearance; she had a graceful figure, wore a jade hairpin, adorned in a luxurious robe with the Xie Clan’s unique emblems, her skin like snow, beautifully dignified and impressively noble, her gaze firm yet cold.

Carrying an invisible majestic demeanor befitting the head of the Xie Clan.

Master Xie’s tone was indifferent: "Call me Aunt, seeing you reminds me of my younger self."

"Aunt is not merciless, thank you for taking care of Guixue these past days, aiding his gradual recovery, I owe you one."

"But right must return to right, Guixue’s situation is complicated, he shouldn’t have developed feelings, though I understand it’s beyond personal control, having seen few others, him being infatuated with you is understandable."

"Seeing his current physical condition."

"So if you had to choose, would you want him by your side, constantly at risk, or leaving to heal? One shouldn’t be selfish considering only oneself, right?"

Su Muyao wouldn’t truly call her Aunt, Master Xie’s first sentence already indicated her stance. She softly replied: "Master Xie, I just hope for him to live well, happily alive, and should anything be required of me, I will comply."

Regardless of Master Xie’s attitude, her bond with Xie Guixue was genuine, wishing wholeheartedly for his well-being, regardless of the cost.

Master Xie’s eyes reddened, deeply shaken, hearing these words, her cold and scrutinizing gaze softened.

She looked at Su Muyao, removed the bracelet from her wrist and placed it on Su Muyao’s hand, "This is from Aunt to you; about you and Guixue, I am aware, yet you two are not suited."

"Given his current state, always in mortal peril, to me, he is the most precious treasure his father left me, my life, I only wish, until his body stabilizes and no longer poses any issue, that there be no more emotional or heart-related upheavals, you understand my meaning?"

A seeming subtle discourse, but Master Xie’s tone was firm.

Acknowledging their relationship and supporting their union are distinctly different, how could Su Muyao not discern?

She heard it clearly; to Master Xie, her son’s life surpassed all other individuals and things.

While she, Su Muyao, lacked sufficient weight.

Su Muyao self-deprecatingly smiled internally, decisive as she is, making decisions proved harder than imagined. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Xie Guixue’s affection and kindness towards her were unforgettable, especially with his soul residing in the cat, accompanying her for years.

But Master Xie’s intent to sever her bond with Xie Guixue pierced painfully at her heart.

Indeed, a relationship supported by parental kin differs starkly from one devoid of it.

Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Su Muyao felt wistful, finding it burdensome, not at all desirable, weighing heavily upon her chest.

Is this what Master Xie used to dismiss her?
