When Hua Linye spoke, his charming and dazzling eyes fixedly gazed at Su Muyao.
His fox-like eyes naturally possessed a soul-captivating magic.
When focused on a person, they seemed inherently full of emotion, with a mesmerizing power over the heart.
Su Muyao almost got lost in his gaze.
Fortunately, she maintained a calm and rational demeanor.
She laughed it off and said, "Ah, that was before."
"Didn't I agree to a three-month term with you guys?"
"I just thought we should get along peacefully, so after three months, when you gain your freedom, you won't trouble me, right?"
She couldn't exactly say she wasn't the same person as before; they wouldn't believe her.
They might even consider burning her as a Mutated Beast.
She felt they might be a bit suspicious of her.
But they definitely had no evidence.
Wen Nanxi's elegant eyebrows moved, "Rest assured, wife, Nanxi will not harm the current you in the slightest."
This current her, not the former her.
Hua Linye's fox eyes became much calmer, and he said, "I hope the wife remains like this, not reverting to how she was before."
Xiao Jihan remained silent, saying nothing, but a peculiar gleam flashed in his cold eyes.
Su Muyao felt she should say something.
She thought for a moment and said, "I was indeed wrong in the past, and I apologize to you all here."
"I won't do that anymore in the future."
"I know you may not believe it now, but people reveal their true selves over time."
"So please bear with me for a while; maybe I can dissolve our contract with you all ahead of schedule."
If she could grow stronger sooner, she could end the contract relationship sooner too.
It wouldn't have to take three months.
Wen Nanxi, seeing her apologize, felt a slight pain in his heart.
His eyes softened and he gently said, "It's not your fault, don't go hungry, let's eat first."
"The temperature is just right."
Wen Nanxi made sure Su Muyao's bowl of corn egg soup was at the perfect temperature, neither hot nor cold, just right for her to drink.
Su Muyao smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first, and after eating, I'll go hunting too."
She mainly planned to go to the mountains and forests to find food.
"Alright, I'll accompany the wife."
Hua Linye raised his beautiful eyebrow, his charming voice seductive, "Today it's my turn to accompany the wife."
Speaking, he gave Su Muyao a pitiful, enchanting look and said, "Wherever the wife wants to go, Linye will take the wife, is that alright?"
When Hua Linye spoke, there was a slight rise at the end of his words, carrying a seductive tone.
It was as if he was releasing his enchanting power.
Su Muyao didn't dare to meet his eyes.
She knew foxes had a bewitching ability.
In her heart, she actually wanted to go to the forest with Wen Nanxi.
She didn't trust any of the three of them, but if she had to choose just one to stay by her side for protection, she would choose Wen Nanxi.
However, she could sense the subtle tension and hostility between Hua Linye and Wen Nanxi, and feared that if she spoke up, the two of them might start fighting.
She lowered her head, stirring the corn soup in her bowl with her spoon, softly saying, "Then... let's follow the rules!"
As everyone ate, they were surprised to find every dish so delicious.
The pork offal that they initially didn't want to eat.
But after standing in the cooking room inhaling the aroma for so long, they decided to eat it.
Wasting food cooked personally by the wife would be a shame.
No She-beast is willing to cook for her Beast Husband.
Just for this reason alone, they shouldn't waste it.
Once they had figured this out, they ate it.
It was only when they actually ate it that they realized how delicious it was.
Originally, everyone ate slowly and elegantly.
But now, they unknowingly sped up their pace.
And the corn soup, they never thought cornmeal could taste so delicious.
It was amazing!
While eating, everyone couldn't help but glance at Su Muyao.
There seemed to be a look of inquisitive disbelief in their eyes.
As if they wanted to see through her.
Su Muyao ate quietly with her head down, barely showing herself to them.
Preventing them from seeing her expression.
This meal was absolutely torturous.
Because she could feel the pressure of their gazes.
At last, she was full.
When she looked up, she saw their bowls and that big pot of braised food were all empty, and she was stunned.
"Did you not have enough to eat?"
Or did she not make enough?
Seeing her adorable expression, Wen Nanxi smiled gently and said, "We're full."
"The food made by the wife is delicious."
"We used to throw these things away, but now looking back, it seems quite wasteful, a real pity."
Back then, they wouldn't know how to handle or cook it.
He didn't know how she made these braised dishes.
Only that she added some things, probably seasonings.
In the past, they might suspect her of poisoning, but after last night, they didn't doubt her anymore.
Su Muyao nodded.
Next time, she'll have to prepare more.
In the Beast World, Beastmen have a special physique; they need to eat a lot to maintain enough energy for better hunting.
After eating, without Su Muyao needing to lift a finger, the three of them competed to clear the table and wash the dishes.
The cooking room was spotless.
After that, Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan went off to hunt.
Hua Linye took Su Muyao into the forest.
Hua Linye directly changed into his true form.
A giant two-meter-tall Nine-tailed Red Fox.
Upon seeing Hua Linye's true form, Su Muyao was awestruck.
Truly beautiful, especially the stunning red fox fur.
She now understood why the former self was so fixated on making clothes from his fox fur.
Such noble red fox fur would surely make exquisite clothing.
Hua Linye's beast form was a bit tall, Su Muyao couldn't climb up.
She jumped a few times to no avail.
Seeing her like this, Hua Linye's fox eyes showed a light smile, finding her very cute.
Then he used a tail to wrap around her, gently placing her on his back.
Hua Linye said, "Where does the wife want to go?"
"Do you know where there are many herbs?"
She wanted to pick some herbs to detoxify her own body.
Also, Wen Nanxi and the other two Beast Husbands had severe internal and external injuries.
Severely affecting their Cultivation and suppressing their realm.
Moreover, they were likely in great pain.
When the previous self abused them, it triggered their mental berserk state, worsening their toxins and injuries.
She felt responsible for curing them, so that they owed each other nothing.
Hua Linye said, "I know, I'll take the wife there."
Hua Linye knew where there were many herbs, but such things were varied and only witch doctors could usually identify them.
Plus, it's easy to get poisoned if not careful.
Hua Linye didn't care about all this, he just carried Su Muyao there.
Hua Linye ran swiftly, and Su Muyao instinctively held onto him.
She found hugging fox fur and holding onto a snake body felt completely different.
All that fur felt so comfortable.
Both beautiful and soft, with a faint fragrance, very clean and pleasant.
Su Muyao, as if bewitched, reached out to stroke it.
Hua Linye's body trembled, he stopped in the forest, his voice low and hoarse, "What is the wife touching?"
Su Muyao snapped back to reality, her scalp tingling, "No, nothing."
"Don't misunderstand, I... I just accidentally grabbed the fox fur!"
This was in the forest, with nobody around; if Hua Linye wanted to kill her, no one could save her.
Though there was the Beast Husband Contract, he couldn't kill her, but he could torment and abuse her.
Just as the former self abused him.
So he could take revenge!
