Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 391 - 390: Not Hiding Anymore
Listening to these words, Ye Ying’s fingers clenched around the spoon, his knuckles turning pale with tension as a wave of bitter pain surged in his heart.
He had let her down.
Now, being able to stay by her side as Ye Ying and watch over her was already his greatest wish.
His thoughts churned like waves, his jawline tightened as his Adam’s apple moved, but no sound came out.
Miss Su patiently waited for his answer.
Ye Ying took a deep breath, turning his gaze to her.
He met her eyes, his lashes fluttered intensely, then he turned away, afraid she would see the hints of embarrassed guilt in his eyes.
Afraid she might learn of his past identity.
He cherished every day spent with her, fearing that if she found out who he was one day, she would never allow him near again.
The remorse in his heart pricked like a fine needle, spreading a dense pain.
"Miss Su is so wonderful, anyone who comes into contact with you can’t help but want to treat you well."
"I feel like what I’m doing is nothing at all. Being able to take care of Miss Su is an honor, and I never expect anything in return."
"I’m just afraid that I’ve done something wrong, making Miss Su despise me."
He was speaking the truth.
He didn’t want to deceive her.
The system exclaimed, "Host, could it be that he’s fallen in love with you?"
"Well, it’s only natural for a male to fall for someone as wonderful as my host."
"However, I can’t detect his bloodline situation, and I don’t know if his talents are outstanding, or if he’s noble enough."
"If that’s the case, there’s nothing wrong with the host accepting him."
Su Muyao replied to the system, "Right now, I just want to save Yue Wuhen, so I haven’t much mind to think about anything else."
After communicating with the system, Su Muyao still said to Ye Ying, "How could you think that? You are so good, no one would despise you."
She didn’t want to cause him any distress, but she had nothing to offer him in return.
After a brief pause, Su Muyao added, "Ye Ying, there are some things I need to do that could put you in danger, so..."
Before Su Muyao could finish, Ye Ying interrupted her, "I’ll do it. No matter what it is, I’ll do it for you."
"Just... don’t send me away."
His voice was hoarse, carrying a pleading tone.
This was a side of Ye Ying that Su Muyao had never seen.
Let alone such words.
Su Muyao’s heartstrings seemed to have been suddenly plucked.
Originally, Su Muyao was indeed thinking of venturing to the Sea Clan on her own.
The last time she put Ye Ying in danger, they were lucky to encounter her master, so nothing happened to them.
This time, one careless mistake could cost lives.
She had hurt Yue Wuhen, and she didn’t want anyone else to get hurt because of her.
Even the system could sense the sadness emanating from Ye Ying, "Host, you want what’s best for him by making him leave, but that’s not what he wants. If you really make him go, I feel like he would cry."
"But why does it feel like he already knew you from before?"
Su Muyao thought carefully and said, "I haven’t met any Yan Beastman before."
Then she looked at Ye Ying and softly said, "Ye Ying, I never intended to send you away. I’m just afraid of putting you in danger."
"I’m not afraid."
As long as she doesn’t send him away, that’s enough.
"I can do anything for you."
Su Muyao didn’t know what to say anymore.
She sighed inwardly, knowing deep down she didn’t want to hurt him.
Fine, let’s focus on recuperating first.
...
When it came to meals, Ye Ying didn’t let Su Muyao lift a finger.
As Su Muyao sat beside him, she felt as though she were in a state of hands-off ease. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
However, upon seeing so much seafood on the table, her eyes brightened.
"So much seafood?"
The crabs, scallops, and shrimp were all so large, especially the crabs and crayfish, so big they were delightful to eat.
Watching the smile on Su Muyao’s face and her bright eyes, Ye Ying slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He genuinely feared that she wouldn’t like to eat these sea creatures.
Ye Ying softly explained, "Yes, most of the land beasts and plants have mutated, and many foods have become problematic. The ocean is less affected by the darkness, so I gathered some sea creatures. I’m not sure if you’ll like them."
Su Muyao gave Ye Ying a sincere smile and said, "I like them, why wouldn’t I?"
Hearing her reply, Ye Ying felt reassured, "As long as you like them."
"I’ll make more for you next time."
To him, getting fresh and large sea creatures was the easiest thing.
Speaking, Ye Ying personally peeled the crabs and shrimp for Su Muyao and served her porridge.
The porridge was also a seafood porridge, and Ye Ying had controlled the temperature perfectly as she drank it mouthful by mouthful.
"The taste is so fresh and delicious."
Not only that, but also the yellow crab roe dripped with oil, and spooning a mouthful of it was incredibly satisfying.
The system spoke, "Host, Ye Ying must have some connection with the Sea Clan, or he’d never be able to get such large, fresh seafood."
Su Muyao replied, "Let’s eat first."
Right then, her stomach was growling, and all she wanted to do was eat.
After coming out of the Secret Realm, she hadn’t had any food, and she felt dizzy from hunger.
Since her reincarnation, she’s been easily hungry and needed to eat a lot.
But thankfully, no matter how much she ate, she never gained weight.
The system had explained it was because she had become an Immortal Phoenix, needing a lot of nutritional food at first to supplement her body.
Ye Ying didn’t bother about eating himself, his focus and attention solely on Su Muyao, ensuring she had everything she needed as she ate.
He completely peeled the shrimp and placed the meat in her bowl.
His eyes softened with a gentle and indulgent light.
In Ye Ying’s heart, being able to accompany her this way, watch over her and take care of her made him truly happy.
The more he interacted with her, the more he understood how remarkable she was.
If not for sensing the aura of the Water-Repelling Pearl, he likely wouldn’t have been able to find her.
He noticed that her appearance had changed somewhat; she was even more beautiful than before.
Her aura was more ethereal and extraordinary.
Once she finished eating, Su Muyao no longer felt as dizzy, no longer as weak and had regained some strength.
"Did I eat a lot?"
Eating so much could easily scare others.
"No, that’s not much at all. I’ll make more for you."
Ye Ying was about to head to the kitchen again.
Su Muyao reached out to hold his arm, "No need, there’s still some left. It’s enough to eat."
Su Muyao continued eating.
The system spoke again, "Host, Ye Ying mentioned the land’s food being corrupted by darkness and mutating. Soon everyone might start fighting for food resources."
"Right now, the Cang Beast Continent is already engulfed in conflict and chaos, and it’s likely not just caused by the Spider Beastman."
Su Muyao said, "Fortunately, we’ve stored plenty of grain before."
After contracting with Yun Qinglan, Su Muyao upgraded her space, allowing for the cultivation of many fast-growing crops, harvesting them repeatedly and storing them away.
Even if grain became even scarcer, there wouldn’t be a shortage in Su Muyao’s space.
But since she had died once and reincarnated, her space had degenerated, and the grain warehouses seemed sealed and unusable for now.
It was unclear what opportunity might reopen them.
After finishing the meal, Ye Ying cleaned up without letting Su Muyao do anything.
In the following days, Ye Ying carefully took care of Su Muyao, cooking for her and making medicine.
Once Su Muyao felt a bit better, she decided to head for the Sea Clan.
That night, as she listened to the sound of the waves, she was restless.
She got up and went to the room next door, just about to knock when the door opened from inside.
"Miss Su, can’t sleep?"
Ye Ying could sense she had something on her mind.
He could see it, but he thought if she didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t ask.
Su Muyao thought for a moment and decided to speak to him, "Ye Ying, there’s something I feel I shouldn’t hide from you."
