Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 81: Cherished and Protected

Xie Guixue looked at Su Muyao’s appearance and slowly extended his hand.

Su Muyao watched his movement, unsure of what he intended to do, but instinctively she did not want to avoid it.

So she remained in place, looking up at him.

Xie Guixue extended his slender Xiu Ruomei Bone fingers and gently smoothed the strands of hair blown askew by the wind.

He softly tucked them behind her ear.

His fingers were cautious, but inadvertently touched Su Muyao’s skin.

Su Muyao felt a cool, tingling sensation spread across that area.

Because snowflakes had settled on her head, her hair carried a trace of dampness.

Fearing she might catch cold, Xie Guixue’s fingers emitted a surge of warmth, drying her hair.

His movements were gentle, yet decidedly careful.

He soothingly remarked, "No worries, you’re just tired, you need a good rest."

He could see her exhaustion, unwilling to let her use her superpower to heal him further.

She needed peaceful recuperation.

At that moment, Su Muyao listened to his words, and her Heart String was slightly touched.

She felt a sense of being cared for by someone.

This was the most genuine feeling she had experienced upon arriving in this world.

It seemed void of any other influences.

Such a pure kind of care.

Su Muyao just intended to say something when Xie Guixue said, "They’ve come for me, I must leave."

Saying this, he tucked the Ice Crystal Pendant back into her clothes, "Keep it with you always, it will protect you."

"Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen."

"I will always be here!"

After speaking, he gave Su Muyao a deep look.

Then the wind and snow surged, the dark mist around faded, and Xie Guixue vanished from sight.

Su Muyao actually wanted to say something, but at this moment, her Heart String was somewhat touched, her emotions rather chaotic, unsure of what to utter.

She just watched him disappear, feeling a kind of desolation in her heart for some reason.

It was a very complex feeling.

...

The road seemed to be severed into two spaces when suddenly the sound of a carriage shattering rang out.

Then the severed street seemed to instantaneously reassemble, returning to its original shape.

"Wife!"

"Wife, are you alright?"

"Wife, are you okay?"

Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan all rushed urgently over, inspecting Su Muyao closely.

Their faces were pale, eyes red, their auras were off.

Moreover, they looked somewhat disheveled, with bloodstains on their bodies.

Then she saw over a dozen assassins fallen on the ground.

The three looked at Su Muyao without speaking, their hearts filled with unease.

Wen Nanxi’s gentle eyes reflected painful guilt.

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes bore a bloodthirsty red.

Xiao Jihan, naturally a bit cold-natured, showed an even colder expression, surrounded by surging, unchecked murderous intent.

"Wife?"

Wen Nanxi’s voice lacked its usual calm, filled with painful hoarseness.

Su Muyao regained her composure and said, "I’m alright!"

She didn’t explain what happened, simply stated that she was fine.

Her demeanor was calm, without blaming them.

Yet the calmer she was, the more unsettled the three became.

Wen Nanxi said hoarsely, "Wife, it’s our failure to protect you."

"You can do whatever you want to us, punish us or scold us, it’s justified to blame us."

Hua Linye directly offered his knife to Su Muyao, "Wife, if you strike me with it, I’ll feel better internally."

Xiao Jihan moved his lips, wanting to utter something, but uncertain what to say.

This time, it was ultimately their failure to protect her.

They weren’t even aware of what happened here.

No matter how unscrupulous the methods used to obstruct them, severing the street, it was still their negligence.

Even though Su Muyao was currently fine, it might have just been luck.

They dare not imagine if something had happened to her, what would ensue!

Therefore, all words seemed pale and powerless.

Su Muyao calmly said, "I’m truly fine, you don’t need to reproach yourselves."

"The opponents wanted to kill me, calculated your strength, specifically found ways to obstruct you, it’s not your fault."

Despite these comforting words, Wen Nanxi still felt something was amiss.

She was already not sufficiently trusting of them.

Now, although she seemed calm, there was a layer of detachment surrounding her.

As if something set between her and them.

How could Wen Nanxi not feel anxious?

He wanted to say something, but seeing her weary expression, he said hoarsely, "It’s good that you’re fine."

"You’re tired, let’s go home first!"

Though curious about what had happened, Wen Nanxi refrained from asking.

He knew she needed rest now.

After the incident, Su Muyao indeed felt exhausted, not in the mood for strolling or doing anything.

She nodded, "Let’s go back first!"

"But what about these bodies?"

"The message has already been sent out, soon City Lord Yun will arrange for everyone to come handle it."

"Yunxiao City should investigate the matter and enhance protection."

Thus, next time they won’t be able to appear in Yunxiao City as easily as this time.

Someone committing murder in Yunxiao City is challenging City Lord Yun’s authority.

It’s known that City Lord Yun’s rule is that fighting is not allowed in Yunxiao City.

Because of this, countless people willingly come to Yunxiao City to conduct business, allowing Yunxiao City to develop in peace and tranquility.

This is why Yunxiao City can be so prosperous.

Su Muyao nodded, no longer concerning herself with the matter.

And returned together.

On the way back, Wen Nanxi transformed into his serpent shape to carry her.

Wen Nanxi’s movements were very steady, maintaining a certain speed, wary of causing discomfort to Su Muyao.

Wen Nanxi wanted to say something, hesitated for a good while before speaking, "Those people were hired killers, among them one used a technique similar to the Chen family’s from Beast Emperor City."

"I will uncover the matter and eliminate everyone involved."

After a pause, Wen Nanxi murmured, "Wife, I am sorry!"

Wen Nanxi’s voice was very low and quite disheartened.

A somber aura enveloped his entire being.

Su Muyao was reflecting on some matters but hearing Wen Nanxi’s words and sensing his aura.

She slightly shifted her expression, aware that they had tried their best.

The blame lay with the vicious intentions behind the scenes, determined to end her life.

She knew she could not rely on anyone for protection, she needs to become stronger quickly.

Nevertheless, with the pendant given by Young Master Xie, she felt a bit more secure.

Su Muyao had since calmed down, subtle emotions were fading away.

She softened her tone, "Wen Nanxi, you don’t need to blame yourself."

"You all tried your best, I understand that."

"Also, I shouldn’t have suddenly appeared on the street to rescue that cat, unaware it was a trap set for me."

Had it not been a cat, had it been any other animal, she wouldn’t have had such a reaction.

But she had raised a cat during the apocalypse, it accompanied her for many years, ultimately sacrificing itself for her.

It was a knot in her heart.

Therefore, at the time her response was reflexive.

However, this incident was a reminder that she must become stronger swiftly.

"No, wife, don’t say that, it’s all my fault."

If he weren’t injured, he could have used the secret technique to enhance his combat strength, things wouldn’t be like this.

Considering something, Su Muyao asked, "By the way, one day when you returned late, there was the smell of blood on you, did you encounter such assassins then as well?"
