The evil female in the space can heal, and five beast husbands risk their lives to protect her.

Chapter 36 Serving the Wife
Que Hongjin reached out and gently took it.

He moved very gently and carefully, as if he cherished these books dearly.

He turned the items over carefully, his eyes gleaming with a flickering light.

He looked at Qiao Suluo with a gentle expression.

"What happened in the past was not the wife's fault."

"The wife doesn't actually need to do these things."

As Que Hongjin spoke these words, her expression became even more profound, revealing a hidden meaning.

Qiao Suluo simply asked earnestly, "So, do you like it?"

Que Hongjin smiled and said elegantly, "Yes, I like it."

Qiao Suluo smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"If you get bored, you can read a book."

After a pause, Qiao Suluo added, "Once we redeem the three of them, I will send you to study at the academy."

In their Great Jing Dynasty, one could enter officialdom through the imperial examination.

Both male and female orcs can become officials, but most female orcs are unwilling to put in the hard work of studying and taking the imperial examinations. They only need to marry an orc husband who is an official to enjoy good treatment. Therefore, most officials are male orcs.

Que Hongjin loves books, so she would probably also enjoy studying at the academy.

Moreover, the Nanlu Academy in their county town is a famous academy in the Great Jing Dynasty, with a large collection of books.

Hearing these words and seeing Qiao Suluo's expression, Que Hongjin knew that his wife was serious.

The smile in his eyes deepened. "No need, I'm fine at home."

The cost of tuition was too high, but he appreciated her kindness.

He is no longer the young master of the Peacock Clan. She works hard every day to earn money at her stall, and she no longer has unrealistic dreams.

Qiao Suluo seemed to know what he was worried about and said seriously, "You don't need to worry about the expenses, I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing these words, Que Hongjin's expression turned serious, and her usually calm and composed eyes now swirled with dark eddies.

He put down his pen, slowly stood up, stood in front of Qiao Suluo, and murmured softly, "What a silly girl."

He was at a loss as to what to do with her.

"Why is my wife so good to me?"

He had never seen such a female beast before. She illuminated his silent and cold heart like the sun, causing ripples to spread across his calm lake of emotions, which remained unsettled for a long time.

No wife would willingly support her beastly husband's education.

Female orcs wouldn't do something so foolish. Male orcs who want to study either rely on their own family or, after marriage, generally rely on their own dowry.

In many cases, after male orcs marry, their dowry belongs to their wives, and they have no right to make decisions about it themselves.

If a female beastman wants to study, it is normal for a male beastman to provide for her education; almost no female beastman would do such a strenuous task.

Therefore, what Joshua said seemed very unbelievable to him.

He looked down at her with a deep gaze, wanting to ask where she came from and why she was so kind.

Qiao Suluo's eyelashes fluttered, and she said, "They are them, and I am me. Don't worry, I will send you to the academy to study."

Que Hongjin leaned slightly closer to Qiao Suluo and whispered in her ear, "So, what does my wife want?"

"As a condition, does the wife want this?"

As he spoke, Que Hongjin moved his fingers and stepped forward to gently hug her, letting her lean against his chest.

He lowered his head, his lips moving downwards, and his breath enveloped her instantly.

A seductive voice followed, "Does my mistress need my service?"

As animal husbands, this was originally their responsibility and obligation.

Qiao Suluo was completely dumbfounded. They were talking about going to the academy to study, how did the topic suddenly turn to this?

She quickly pushed Que Hongjin away, "No, I don't want to serve you, there are no conditions."

"I just hope that once you've achieved fame and become an official, you'll protect me a little more."

"If you're going to do business, you'll be too conspicuous, and without the protection of power, you'll easily be bullied."

"So you're just thinking that I want to take shelter under a big tree, that I want you to become a big tree to protect me." Qiao Suluo thought to herself, if she said she had no conditions, Que Hongjin would definitely not trust her.

Instead, let's discuss some conditions.

That way he can still trust himself.

Otherwise, people would assume she had feelings for him.

"I am aware of my own condition, so don't worry, I will never have any other thoughts about you."

This is true.

"Well, I'm going back first."

Fearing something might happen if she stayed any longer, Qiao Suluo quickly left Que Hongjin's room.

Que Hongjin watched her flee in disarray, a faint smile playing on her lips.
He rubbed his fingers together thoughtfully and said, "He has indeed lost a lot of weight and become much fairer."

The sensation from that touch was very obvious.

Moreover, the aura emanating from her was different from before.

He won't make a mistake in this judgment.

He sat back down at the table and picked up the five books to read.

"What a silly girl. She probably doesn't know that I made some annotations in my previous books when I was reading them."

“These five books are very clean.”

The same books, but not the same five books as before.

"So how...did she do that?"

Que Hongjin picked up a book with great care and read it. After reading a few pages, he discovered that the book was more complete than any of his previous books.

The few rare books he brought from his family were handwritten copies. The originals had long been lost, and what remained were all handwritten copies. Some of the content was incomplete, and even when someone repaired them later, some parts were still missing.

But the one in question is complete.

He could no longer remain calm; his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

I almost couldn't resist going to her room to ask what was going on.

But then she pinched her brow helplessly, knowing that she probably wouldn't tell.

……

After returning to her room, Qiao Suluo calmed herself down and thought that this Que Hongjin, though seemingly gentle, was actually very good at bewitching people.

It rained on and off for the next three days, so Qiao Suluo couldn't go to the county to set up her stall. Instead, she made extra konjac desserts at home.

I also made maltose while I was at it.

As for the peach blossom wine, it has also fermented successfully.

After the rain stops, I can go back to the county to set up my stall and do business.

That night, when Qiao Suluo was sleeping, she dreamed of her Inuyasha beast husband, Yue Hanzheng.

After he was sold to Medicine King Valley, the people there used his blood to study medicine and treated him as a medicine man. They took his blood every day and fed him all sorts of medicines, which he had to consume.

Yue Hanzheng's expression grew increasingly numb and desperate.

He didn't even resist.

His body also became increasingly thin.

That day, someone handed him a bowl of medicine. After drinking it, he vomited blood violently and soon died.

"People are dead."

"The attempt to create the drug-human hybrid has failed again."

"I thought he was strong enough, but I didn't expect that he still couldn't resist the effects of the drug."

"He's dead, so he's dead. He doesn't need to drink these medicines anymore. He's been freed from this burden. Just bury him in the back of the mountain."

"What a pity for such a beautiful face. His wife was so heartless as to sell him to Medicine King Valley to be a medicine man."
