Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 248: Dream Female

Shen Ci’an suddenly asked these questions, and everyone turned their gaze to Mei Qingchen, focusing on his sword.

Everyone still remembered his Sword Spirit, which had been quite dismissive of Mei Qingchen at the time.

Back then, when Mei Qingchen tried to attack Su Muyao, his Sword Spirit always intervened.

When Su Muyao heard these words, her expression changed, and she immediately recalled Mei Qingchen’s Sword Spirit.

She remembered when she used her Wood Element Ability to repair that sword, she suddenly entered the sword’s spiritual world and encountered the man with peach blossom eyes.

He asked if she wanted to eat Peach Blossom Soup and peach blossom cake...

Thinking of this, Su Muyao was momentarily dazed, unable to see the man’s face clearly because he wore a mask, but his peach blossom eyes left a deep impression on her.

She remembered it now.

Ever since Mei Qingchen left the Beiluo Tribe, there had been no news of his Sword Spirit.

Mei Qingchen looked at his own sword, thinking of the Sword Spirit, and his expression was somewhat poignant.

Back in the Beiluo Tribe, he understood nothing; the sword blocked him several times, and he didn’t understand then.

Thinking back now, he felt grateful to it.

Thanks for reminding him several times before.

"He has already left."

Shen Ci’an raised his eyebrows in surprise but still said, "Since he can leave despite being your Sword Spirit, it means he isn’t truly your Sword Spirit."

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes moved, "Isn’t he your Sword Spirit?"

Mei Qingchen explained, "No."

"When I fell into Death Valley, he suddenly appeared and saved me, temporarily residing in my sword. I don’t know where he came from or what kind of person he is."

Regarding the Sword Spirit, Mei Qingchen indeed knew nothing; even though he possessed divination abilities, he couldn’t see anything about him.

But he never harmed him; even when he was confused, he reminded him.

So Mei Qingchen felt extremely grateful to him.

"When did he leave?"

"He left after escorting me back to the Mei Family."

He worried about potential dangers along the way, so he remained as his Sword Spirit, helping solve some dangers until reaching the Mei Family, confirming he was safe, and then departed.

Wen Nanxi lightly tapped the table and said, "Since he could save you in Death Valley and reside in your sword, it means he’s certainly strong."

"Temporarily residing in your sword likely was to find a chance to leave Death Valley and recover from injuries."

Wen Nanxi spoke calmly and composedly; no one doubted his words.

In Shen Ci’an’s view, Wen Nanxi must have quite a background and knew things others didn’t.

Mei Qingchen said, "I tried using Mei Family’s Spiritual Power to peek at his whereabouts, but I couldn’t see anything."

Shen Ci’an’s narrow eyes squinted as he smirked, "Being able to survive in Death Valley and save you from it, certainly not simple."

"For Death Valley, any beastmen that enter never come out alive."

Initially, Mei Qingchen hadn’t reached enlightenment, entering Death Valley to find his sword, lucky enough to come out alive.

Mentioning Death Valley made Su Muyao’s face pale.

It was her predecessor who threw Mei Qingchen’s sword into Death Valley; although she didn’t do it, she was connected.

Su Muyao looked at Mei Qingchen and asked, "Is the sword alright?"

Mei Qingchen heard the concern from his wife; his gaze was filled with emotions, looking at her so attentively, "It’s fine."

Su Muyao said, "Don’t be upset; you will meet again if fate allows."

Su Muyao thought of how Mei Qingchen sometimes spoke harshly or tried to target her, yet the Sword Spirit always protected her, seemingly trusting her deeply.

So she hoped he would be well.

Whether they would meet again in the future, Su Muyao wasn’t concerned and comforted Mei Qingchen.

...

In a courtyard of Beast Emperor City.

Xu Family Master looked at Xu Heping, satisfied with his noble and handsome appearance, nodding approvingly, "This time the Imperial Palace didn’t give us a quota, but I personally met King Chu, who added one to the list and gave us invitations to the palace banquet. With the invitations, you can attend the palace banquet."

"You must perform well; if you can marry the Princess, the status of our Xu Family will be greatly elevated."

Xu Family Master was very pleased looking at his son.

The Xu Family was a merchant family, previously somewhat impoverished, having put in much effort to improve their business.

Xu Heping listened to his mother’s words silently, without rebutting.

A woman next to him spoke up, "Mother, big brother, I heard that little nobody might attend the palace banquet too."

"If we encounter him, it would be truly troublesome; it would be best if he couldn’t attend the banquet."

When Flower Linye was mentioned, they directly referred to him as nobody, not even calling his name.

Xu Family Master furrowed her brows deeply, "I didn’t expect him to have such a great fortune, surviving even now."

The woman named Xu Hesi sneered, "Indeed, contracting such a domineering, incurable Fire Poison, he should’ve died long ago."

Xu Hesi really loathed Flower Linye, certainly influenced by her father.

Her father was the first Beast Husband, but ever since her mother’s backyard included Hua Ruozhe, her father fell out of favor for quite a long period.

During that time, her father was cranky and treated them poorly.

She was very little then, secretly seeing her mother’s beastman; such a submissive and passive attitude, whom was he trying to impress?

She found such people extremely hypocritical.

Because of that person’s existence, her father either hit or scolded her and her brother.

So, she hated those father and son.

Fortunately, Hua Ruozhe fell out of favor later, and he died early, leaving just Flower Linye.

In her eyes, Flower Linye would die sooner or later; she couldn’t imagine him still living.

Thinking of Flower Linye, Xu Family Master recalled the embroidery skills obtained through deceit, and her face soured.

Flower Linye’s presence seemed like a constant reminder of the despicable deeds she committed.

"I said, don’t mention that person."

"Even a letter I wrote to him as a mother was left unanswered."

Xu Family Master initially expected Flower Linye to perish in the cold Northern Territory, never guessing Su Muyao would overturn fortunes.

Xu Hesi sneered, "He probably thinks leaning on Su Muyao, he can sever ties with my Xu Family, dreaming."

"His Fire Poison can only be suppressed by medicine from my Xu Family."

"Mom, he will come crawling back to us eventually."

"Mom shouldn’t have arranged for him to marry instead of an alternate bride."

Xu Family Master frowned, "Who would’ve expected Su Muyao to make a comeback then?"

At the time, Xu Family Master got inside news from King Chu, foreseeing Su Family’s downfall, thus arranging Flower Linye as an alternate bride.

The intent was to let Flower Linye die outside.

"Anyhow, at the palace banquet, both of you must perform well. Hesi, you too, must marry a distinguished Beast Husband."

"If you could achieve half of Liu Mengyan’s abilities, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore."

Families now educated their daughters with Liu Mengyan’s standard in mind.

From a humble family, Liu Mengyan managed to wed a top family heir as Beast Husband, an unimaginable feat.

Xu Hesi was quite displeased; her mother always wanted her to model after Liu Mengyan, as if those sons of elite families were easy to approach.

She also wished to learn from Liu Mengyan.

Who wouldn’t want to marry such an outstanding male as Beast Husband, accompanied by a bridal dowry that stretched ten miles?

She too was envious.

Many families’ males viewed Liu Mengyan as a dream female, and the Liu Family’s status soared significantly.
