With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 22 Getting Used to Relying on Yourself

Su Muyao came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine."

"This little thing won't tire you out."

As she spoke, she stepped back slightly, avoiding Wen Nanxi's touch.

Wen Nanxi watched her avoid the camera, a hint of disappointment and loss in her eyes.

A strange sense of bitterness welled up in my heart.

Su Muyao didn't actually want to immerse herself in their tenderness.

I want to stay calm and rational at all times.

"I picked some medicinal herbs and dried them in the yard first. Then I can process the herbs to make some medicine packets."

It can also detoxify her and suppress the fire poison in Hua Linye.

As for the wheat grains, we probably can't make any pasta tonight.

But she noticed that the sweet potato starch had already settled again.

Wen Nanxi walked over and asked, "My lady, is there anything I can do for you?"

Su Muyao said, "We need to remove all the water from the top, leaving only the sweet potato starch at the bottom."

Wen Nanxi nodded and used her supernatural ability to absorb all the water in the vat, leaving only clean sweet potato starch at the bottom.

Normally, sweet potato starch needs to be dried before use.

Su Muyao thought of Hua Linye's fire-type ability; he had used his ability to dry her hair before.

She turned to look at him.

Little did she know that Hua Linye's gaze was already fixed on her at that moment.

When she turned her head, she immediately met Hua Linye's alluring eyes.

He quickly walked over and whispered, "My lady, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Can you bake this starch dry, gently, like sun-drying?"

Hua Linye smiled and said, "Okay."

This one is very simple.

He used his fire-based abilities to quickly dry the sweet potato starch.

"My lady, is this alright?"

Su Muyao reached out and touched the sweet potato starch, smiling as she said, "Yes, this is good."

I'll make sweet potato noodles for you guys tonight.

Su Muyao kept some sweet potato starch to make vermicelli that evening, and stored the rest away.

This makes it easier to store.

Looking at Wen Nanxi and Hua Linye surrounding Su Muyao, Xiao Jihan felt a strange sensation rising in his heart.

That evening, Su Muyao made pork rib and fish ball soup, a plate of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and sweet potato noodles for everyone.

Sweet potato noodles were served as the staple food, and three large plates of side dishes were enough for the four of them.

When everyone sat down to eat, Hua Linye and the others thought every dish was extremely delicious.

Sweet potato noodles, in particular, were a food they had never eaten before.

So this is how smooth and delicious it can be.

I don't know how they made that braised pork, but it was so tender and fragrant.

There's also pork rib and fish ball soup.

They used to dislike eating pork ribs, feeling that they were mostly bones with little meat.

Who would have thought that the pork rib soup made this way would have pork rib meat that was much more delicious than pure pork meat?

Wen Nanxi looked at Su Muyao's fingers with a pained expression and said, "The food my wife makes is delicious."

"From now on, my wife only needs to speak, and we will do it."

"My wife's palms are burning hot; they must be in a lot of pain."

While cooking, Su Muyao's finger was splattered with hot oil and burned.

Su Muyao didn't think much of it, but Wen Nanxi's gaze towards her was full of tenderness and pity.

It was as if she had suffered a very serious injury.

Su Muyao didn't think anything of it.

In the apocalypse, when one's superpowers are not strong enough, it is inevitable to suffer serious injuries and bleed during battles.

She was numb to the pain; a simple bandage was all it took.

There's no need to be so dramatic.

It's probably because the female beasts in the Beast World are well protected that they become somewhat spoiled.

"It's okay, this burn doesn't hurt at all."

"Besides, everyone helped with the cooking."

She wasn't used to being waited on hand and foot, nor was she used to relying on others. Perhaps this was a habit formed in the apocalypse.

She is used to relying on herself in everything, because only by relying on herself can she be dependable.

In the apocalypse, relying solely on others can easily lead to death.

When Wen Nanxi spoke, her gaze was fixed on Su Muyao.

Seeing her momentarily dazed, then regain her indifference, he felt a pang of pain in his heart for some reason.

Just now, her expression was lonely and desolate, as if she had erected hard thorns around herself, keeping everyone away.

Even Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan could sense the subtle changes in Su Muyao's aura at this moment.

Her expression became more reserved, carrying a hint of aloofness.

Everyone initially thought the food was exceptionally delicious, but sensing that Su Muyao was somewhat unhappy, they didn't say anything more.

After everyone had finished eating, they all rushed to clear the table.

Su Muyao then went to the courtyard to gather medicinal herbs.

After getting ready, Wen Nanxi went to Su Muyao's side immediately.

"Whatever my wife needs, I'll do it!"

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

Looking at her small figure, Wen Nanxi felt a surge of pity. He carefully apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that during dinner."

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "It's none of your business."

Is my wife angry?

Su Muyao said, "No, I'm not angry."

Wen Nanxi asked softly, and Su Muyao's answers were all normal.

But Wen Nanxi felt that there was a barrier around her, keeping everyone out.

He wanted to get close to her but couldn't.

He could only stay by her side in silence, not even knowing what to say.

Xiao Jihan watched for a while, then went back inside.

Hua Linye then looked for work to do in the courtyard.

When there's nothing to do, I take out a rag and start wiping the door frames.

Su Muyao busied herself for a while and made four insect repellent sachets.

"These three are for you to use; this is a deworming medicine packet."

"This way, I won't get bitten by mosquitoes if I put it by my bedside at night."

Wen Nanxi looked at the deworming medicine packet she handed over, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Her personality has changed since that incident the day before yesterday; she's been busy taking care of them these past two days.

Even when it comes to meals, she eats very little herself.

Why is she so kind to them?

But he couldn't understand her thoughts.

Unlike before, when her malice, paranoia, and madness were so obvious that her thoughts were easy to read.

Wen Nanxi composed himself and said gently, "Thank you, my wife."

"You're welcome. You all take such good care of me and even risk your lives hunting. What I did is nothing."

Since she was going to make herself some deworming medicine packets anyway, making a few extra wouldn't be a hassle at all.

"As beast husbands, we should take good care of our wives."

Su Muyao smiled and said, "You've been so good to me, so as your wife, I want to be good to you too."

"Taking care of someone is mutual; there's no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't'."

"I just hope that you will remember what I did in the future."

Just don't turn on her later.

A somber, dark glint flashed in Wen Nanxi's eyes. He knew that she was actually worried that they would hurt her.

But how could that be!

He knew she wouldn't believe him if he said anything, so he could only try to earn her trust through his actions.

Hearing these words, Hua Linye felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart.

At night when going to bed.

Su Muyao was lying in bed unable to sleep when she suddenly smelled a familiar, subtle fragrance.

She opened her eyes abruptly and saw the fiery red fox beside the bed.

"Hua Linye, what are you doing here?"

Late at night, weren't they all avoiding her like the plague?
So she really didn't expect one of them to show up in her room so late at night.
