Chapter 146 The Way We Cherish It

Upon seeing this, Mei Qingchen's expression changed drastically.

He felt a little flustered and instinctively looked at Su Muyao, "My lady, I didn't mean to."

"I didn't use much force."

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

Wen Nanxi crouched down to examine it. "Perhaps it's because of the soul-searching technique."

The spatial system said, "Host, the Soul Searching Technique does consume a lot of your source power and is quite cruel. It does violate the laws of nature and cannot be used frequently."

"In addition, he directly took out the light and shadow he saw and showed it to you, which consumed even more of his energy. It's normal for him to be weak and faint at once."

Even the spatial system couldn't help but marvel, "He really went to great lengths to stay."

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

I also want to open the shop in Cloud City as soon as possible.

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

Perhaps because he was a blood beast, his aura was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible for her to discern his physical condition. However, he was certainly not in any life-threatening danger.

Su Muyao remembered that he had done this for her, so she took some spiritual spring water from her space and fed it to him. Then she used some wood-type supernatural abilities to heal him.

Her wood-type abilities won't decrease now, so she doesn't feel bad about using them.

Once she was sure he was alright, Su Muyao said, "Mei Qingchen, we might need you to take him home and look after him for a while."

"why me?"

Mei Qingchen instinctively didn't want to send the person back.

Su Muyao's gaze darkened.

Seeing the change in Su Muyao's expression, Mei Qingchen quickly changed his tone and said, "My lady, it's not that I'm unwilling. I want to stay by your side, help you hunt, and protect you."

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

Su Muyao said, "With Wen Nanxi and the others protecting me, I'm fine. Besides, I'm capable of protecting 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 still only care about your own feelings and don't care about your wife's feelings."

"Besides, you're the one who knocked him out."

"If you are unwilling, I will send Shen Ci'an back."

Hua Linye now understands that his wife's wishes are the most important.

Mei Qingchen quickly said, "No, I will follow my wife's arrangements. I will take him back."

And so, Mei Qingchen transformed into her true form, carried Shen Ci'an, and went straight home.

Su Muyao and her group continued hunting and gathering medicinal herbs.

There was no danger after that; they hunted a lot of game and gathered a lot of medicinal herbs.

Of course, when picking medicinal herbs, Wen Nanxi and the others did not understand their properties and were unable to help Su Muyao pick them.

Su Muyao was also worried that they didn't know any better and might touch some poisonous herbs, so she didn't let them do it themselves. She told them to hunt instead, and she would gather the herbs.

However, Xie Guixue could easily identify whether a medicinal herb was poisonous. He stepped forward to help, saying, "My lady, I can pick medicinal herbs. I can distinguish them. I won't get poisoned."

Looking into Xie Guixue's clear and earnest eyes, Su Muyao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." Having someone help definitely makes things faster.

However, when Xie Guixue actually helped, Su Muyao realized that she was even faster than Xie Guixue when picking the fruit.

Su Muyao looked surprised. "You really can identify them?" He picked the herbs so quickly, it seemed like he could easily identify whether the herbs were poisonous.

Xie Guixue explained gently, "Well, when I lived in the Xie family's old house when I was a child, there was a special medicinal herb field in the family. It's like I was born with the ability to identify those medicinal herbs. In addition, I was weak since I was a child and needed to take medicine, so I might know more about these things."

Su Muyao felt that Xie Guixue was being modest; he was probably self-taught, truly worthy of being an ice and snow spirit beast, born with an icy heart and extremely intelligent.

But he was so healthy, yet his health condition was so serious.

"Some of the medicinal herbs I picked today have good medicinal properties. I'll brew some medicine for you to drink, and it will make you feel better."

Xie Guixue looked at her with gentle and warm eyes, "I don't want my wife to suffer. My health is fine."

Su Muyao found his expression amusing. "That's not what the person who turned evil before said."

Upon hearing these words, Xie Guixue's fair and delicate features flushed red, and his ears turned crimson. His beauty, enhanced by the vibrant crimson, was breathtaking, possessing a radiant beauty reminiscent of a hundred flowers in full bloom, yet also imbued with pure emotion.

Su Muyao couldn't help but tease him, and she loved seeing him shyly lower his head in embarrassment.

However, thinking of the dark side of him inside her, Su Muyao decided to stop.

Xie Guixue explained earnestly, "I... he rarely came out before, it's just that I couldn't control him."

Su Muyao didn't want to see him blame himself, so she said, "Don't say that. Whether it's him or you, you're still you, and you're all fine."

The space system said, "Host, he may have a dual personality. One is the innocent him, and the other is the paranoid and dark him. When stimulated, the dark version of him is likely to appear. It is estimated that the dark version of him is also different in combat ability. The dark version of him should be stronger."

“Host, his current personality isn’t really suited to living with everyone in the courtyard. Your beastmen now think you’ve improved and are starting to care about you, so they’re all vying for your favor. He may seem calm, but he’s not at peace inside, so he’s definitely easily influenced.”

Su Muyao said, "So you mean he's still better off going back to his villa oasis?"

The spatial system said, "If he is healthy, he will be fine wherever he is, but if he is unwell and is further affected, his body will easily develop problems."

Su Muyao understood what the system meant. "I will pay attention to these things and ask for his opinion."

She only hopes that everyone she cares about is happy.

Before she could say anything, Xie Guixue said, "My lady, after we become sworn brothers in a while, I will take you back to the Xie family to meet my mother. She will definitely like you too."

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao's lips twitched, as if to say that was not necessarily true. Her reputation was not good, and the heads of powerful families all disliked her.

She still remembered the disdainful looks she received from the heads of the powerful families in Beast King City.

However, I don't know how Xie Guixue's mother is doing.

Speaking of this, she felt that Mei Qingchen's parents were indeed very good in this respect.

Although Mei Qingchen has his problems, his parents are genuinely good.

Su Muyao felt sorry for Xie Guixue when she thought about what the system said about his physical condition. To her, no matter what he was like, no matter which version of him he was, he was still him, and he was still the Xie Guixue she loved.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and nodded directly, saying, "Okay."

Upon hearing Su Muyao's agreement, Xie Guixue's face revealed a stunningly beautiful smile, as if he were standing on ice. He reached out and carefully took Su Muyao's hand in his.

Su Muyao sensed his movement and, before he could make a move, reached out and hugged him. Then she looked up at him and said, "If you want to hug me, just do so, or I can hug you."

Su Muyao took the initiative to hug her, but Xie Guixue froze, unsure how to react.

Her clear, handsome features seemed to have an icy blue light flashing in them, making her both sacred and mysterious, yet also beautiful and captivating.

He looked down at her, his eyes filled with a hint of passion, yet he tried hard to restrain himself. He slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on her waist.

He held her gently, as if she were cherishing her dearly.
