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

Chapter 8 He fell on top of her
Qiao Suluo was enjoying her meal when she suddenly heard Que Hongjin say these words, and her eating motions froze.

"So, you suspect I used poisonous mushrooms to kill you all?"

"If I wanted to kill you all, why would I eat it myself?"

Qiao Suluo glared angrily at Que Hongjin. That scoundrel actually suspected her of using poisonous mushrooms to harm him!

Seeing her angry expression, Que Hongjin suddenly smiled elegantly and said, "My lady, you can say what you want directly. There's no need to use any tricks."

"If you want Hong Jin dead, one stab will suffice; there's no need to torture her with poison."

Qiao Suluo was stunned by those words.
"You...you think I want to kill you all?"

After saying this, Qiao Suluo suddenly thought of what the original owner of the body had done. The original owner had indeed used many methods to poison and drug them.

The system said, "Host, the reason why Que Hongjin's body is so weak is because the previous owner drugged him. He was affected by it, and it was indeed quite torturous. Even after the effects of the drug wore off, it still damaged his body, making his already weak body even more serious."

"Everyone here believes that mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten, so the host should explain properly."

Hearing the system's words, Qiao Suluo had no temper left; she did indeed need to explain.

However, she glanced at Bai Qianluo, who was eating the qingtuan elegantly and seriously. In no time, he had finished the qingtuan, as if he did not suspect that she had poisoned it at all.

Seeing Bai Qianluo like this, Qiao Suluo's expression improved.

It felt really uncomfortable to be doubted, but she patiently explained, "These are shiitake mushrooms, they're not poisonous."

"Not all mushrooms on the mountain are poisonous. Some mushrooms are poisonous, while others are not. They are edible and can be used to make many kinds of food."

"I just ate a few bites myself, I'll be fine."

"If you're worried, you can wait a while and see if I'm alright before deciding whether to eat or not. I'll keep it warm in the pot for you."

As she spoke, Qiao Suluo continued eating the qingtuan. How could she suspect that such delicious food was poisonous?

She looked at Bai Qianluo with satisfaction. She took another one to eat and handed one to Bai Qianluo, saying, "How can one be enough? You should eat more."

Bai Qianluo accepted it, her voice as cold as ever, and said, "Thank you, my wife."

Hearing Bai Qianluo respond by still calling her "wife," Qiao Suluo smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Once I've made some money, I'll take you to see a doctor and get your eyes treated."

Bai Qianlu paused in his eating, and it was unclear whether he believed her or not. In any case, he quietly ate the green rice dumpling, his emotions unreadable.

As Que Hongjin listened to Qiao Suluo's words, a look of suspicion appeared in her beautiful eyes. She had never explained these things before, let alone identified mushrooms or saved people in a special way.

She doesn't know how to cook at all, let alone speak to them in such a calm tone.

It seems that she has been different since last night.

Que Hongjin suddenly remembered something: last night, during the thunder and lightning, she seemed to have been struck by lightning and fainted.

In that instant, he felt as if she had stopped breathing; he even thought she was dead.

Just a short while later, lightning struck again, and she woke up. After waking up, she was like a completely different person; her behavior, speech, and even her eyes were all different.

As if realizing something, Que Hongjin just looked at her like that, his beautiful pupils rippling slightly, his eyes moving slightly, his long eyelashes casting delicate shadows, as if to conceal the sharp glint of insight into the world in his eyes.

In an instant, the sharpness in his eyes vanished, and a faint smile appeared on his face, like a red spider lily blooming in the daytime, exuding an elusive sense of mystery.

He smiled and said, "The food that my wife has worked so hard to prepare must not be wasted."

"From now on, when you cook, my wife, you can call me. I can help you." At this moment, Que Hongjin's tone became gentle, even with an almost seductive tone, as if she were talking to her lover.

Qiao Suluo immediately got goosebumps. She was certain that Que Hongjin disliked her. Why would he suddenly speak to her in this tone and smile at her? It was abnormal, definitely abnormal.

"System, is Que Hongjin out of her mind? Did the original owner of this body abuse her to the point of mental breakdown?"

I hope he doesn't develop any mental health issues.

System: "Don't worry, host, he's fine. Isn't it good that he's being gentle with you?"

Qiao Suluo said, "This isn't gentleness, it's the calm before the storm."

Que Hongjin's sudden change in attitude felt strange to her. She knew she had to be careful while surviving in this unfamiliar world.

She knew very well what her body was like; Que Hongjin couldn't possibly be interested in her, so he must have some other purpose.

Qiao Suluo didn't respond to Que Hongjin and focused on eating.

After finishing her meal, Bai Qianlu got up to clear the table and tidy up the dishes.

Qiao Suluo then went to the yard and began to clean and process the konjac. She carefully covered her hands with a cloth, as she could not touch the sap directly with her hands, or her fingers would itch.

Just then, Que Hongjin finished tidying up the kitchen and came out. He happened to see a pile of konjac on the side. Que Hongjin's face changed. He stepped forward and said, "My lady, be careful, this thing is poisonous."

Que Hongjin had a terrible headache and couldn't help but want to press his temples. Why did his wife have to bring back a bunch of poisonous food?

When Qiao Suluo heard Que Hongjin's words, she looked up at him and met his helpless gaze. At this moment, he seemed to have shed his sharpness and suspicion, and become truly gentle and mild.

Qiao Suluo was a little unaccustomed to Que Hongjin's sudden behavior, but she patiently explained, "This is konjac. It's edible if you process it properly. It's not poisonous."

“Our family has no food at all right now. I only found these foods on the mountain. After processing them, we can make konjac snacks and sell them at the market. Once we earn money, our family can buy food to eat.”

She didn't want to expose the secret of the Space Mall. She didn't trust anyone now. Given how her predecessor had abused Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo, it was normal for them to have murderous intent towards her. So it was better to be cautious in everything.

Que Hongjin said, "My lady, you can leave these tasks to me. You can take a rest."

In the past, she wouldn't have done any work, but now, under the sunlight, she works diligently with an unusual quiet and focused demeanor, as if her eyes are only on the work in her hands.

Since someone was willing to work, Qiao Suluo naturally wanted to use them. She said, "Could you burn some more wood ash for me first?"

After washing and peeling all the konjac, grind it into a paste using wood ash water. Wood ash water is alkaline and can remove the toxicity of the konjac.

Que Hongjin said gently, "Okay."

At that moment, he seemed to be extremely good-tempered and obedient, and then went to burn wood ash.

Qiao Suluo was stunned when she saw him like this. Had his attitude towards her changed after just one meal?

Before Qiao Suluo could figure it out, Bai Qianluo came to her side and said coldly, "My lady, let me do these things."

As she spoke, Bai Qianluo's figure swayed.

Qiao Suluo almost jumped up, quickly stood up and reached out to catch Bai Qianluo. Bai Qianluo's tall and elegant figure leaned against Qiao Suluo.

Qiao Suluo felt that although she was fat, Bai Qianluo was a head taller than her, and she couldn't even support him. She didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, afraid that he would think she was deliberately taking advantage of him. She stammered, "You... how are you?"
