Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Protecting Her

Su Muyao's eyebrows curved, she smiled and said, "No worries, let's dig together!"

"This is cabbage. With wheat and cabbage, we can make cabbage meat dumplings, cabbage meat buns, and cabbage can also be used for stir-frying."

Su Muyao looked at the cabbage, her mind filled with all kinds of delicious food.

"And you can use cabbage to make pickled sauerkraut, which can be stored for a long time."

"When it's snowy season with heavy snow blocking the mountain and you can't go out to hunt for food, you can directly stir-fry sauerkraut with preserved bacon."

"Preserved bacon should also be smoked in advance, so the meat can be stored for a long time."

Anyway, when you can't go out hunting in winter, she has ways to make various foods, so she won't go hungry.

Moreover, the Space Field is also planted with sweet potatoes and some transplanted scallions and ginger.

All were seen in the mountains and forests yesterday.

Cabbage is also transplanted into the space a bit.

Hua Linye's expression changed, it turned out to be food indeed.

Such things are instinctively thought of by everyone as grass.

Hua Linye quickly helped to dig up the cabbage.

With Hua Linye's help, this patch of cabbage was quickly dug up.

Su Muyao stored them all into the space.

"Thank you. I'll make something delicious for you tonight."

Hua Linye's eyebrows moved, alluring and seductive, "No need for thanks, wife."

"Being able to eat the food made by my wife is my honor.

She never used to be so polite.

She always ordered them around with arrogance.

Su Muyao didn't take Hua Linye's words seriously, this guy was particularly charming and knew how to speak sweetly.

Su Muyao said, "Next, let's go to where the herbs are!"

"Alright!"

Hua Linye naturally transformed into his original form, continuing to carry Su Muyao deeper into the forest.

After about an hour, they arrived at a valley area.

From Hua Linye's fox form, Su Muyao smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Su Muyao said happily, "It's herbs, lots of them."

Once Hua Linye leapt over, the view broadened, and Su Muyao saw the valley was full of various herbs.

Hua Linye sensed Su Muyao's joy but had to remind her, "Some herbs here are poisonous, don't touch them carelessly."

"Before, a beast accidentally trespassed here and was poisoned to death immediately."

Su Muyao nodded, "I know, don't worry, I'm aware."

She recognized most herbs, but there were some she had never seen before, not even in the ancient medical techniques of the apocalypse.

However, she had the Space System, which could identify whether unfamiliar herbs were poisonous.

Once Su Muyao got off the fox, and Hua Linye transformed into human form, she carefully proceeded with her Bone Knife to dig up herbs.

Especially seeing some key herbs that could help detoxify her body and restore her appearance.

There were also herbs for hemostatic medicine, insect repellent medicine, and cold cures, etc.

Looking at these, Su Muyao's eyes revealed a bright and brilliant smile.

Su Muyao went forward, dug some herbs, and carefully stored them in the space.

Hua Linye watched her closely, fearing she might suddenly get poisoned.

When Su Muyao turned around, she caught Hua Linye's worried, frowning gaze.

She looked up at the sky, the sun at its peak, indicating it was noon.

Wanting to express gratitude, she said, "Hua Linye, let's have lunch!"

"I brought sweet potatoes in my space; we can roast some sweet potatoes."

Hua Linye looked down at Su Muyao's bright and captivating eyes, his expression shifting, "Wait here and don't move around; I'll hunt some wild animals nearby."

Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."

Hua Linye didn't feel assured, so he transformed into his fox form and scattered some Fox Fur around.

"I scattered my scent around; if there's danger, I'll come back in time."

Su Muyao was a bit stunned.

Though they disliked her, they did indeed try their best to protect her.

Hua Linye hadn't left for long when a sudden, cold, mocking laughter sounded in the air.

Hearing that voice, Su Muyao instinctively became vigilant.

She looked around but saw nothing.

"Space System, did you notice anything?"

"Host, I didn't notice anything, just that the herb at your feet is poisonous and shouldn't be touched."

Su Muyao concentrated, "I heard a cold voice, full of murderous intent, making me instinctively feel danger."

The Space System said in surprise, "Ah, Host, my current ability is limited, and I can't detect the source of danger."

Su Muyao said, "It's okay, we will become stronger."

"I suspect it's the five Beast Husbands from the Beast Emperor City after me."

The Space System asked, "Are they sending someone to kill the host?"

"Don't worry, I'm the Space System; I have energy, I can protect you."

It especially liked the host, and even if it had to sacrifice itself, it would protect the host.

Due to traversing into this world, it was currently weak and hadn't leveled up yet.

If it leveled up, it could protect the host better.

Su Muyao said, "It's okay, at worst, I'll use that method to quickly increase strength."

The Space System knew what the host wanted to do, "If the host forcibly absorbs the surrounding plants' energy to enhance superpower, your body won't withstand it and might explode. Even if you can endure, there will be side effects, and the host's body will become very weak and take a long time to recover."

Su Muyao said, "So unless absolutely necessary, I won't use it."

The Space System comforted, "Host, don't be afraid. I just sensed that the Nine-tailed Red Fox Beast Husband spread his Fox Fur around with his Soul Power, so if you're in danger, he'll come back."

Su Muyao calmly said, "They probably hope I'm dead."

"I don't expect them to come back to protect me."

"They hate me to death."

Just then, a sharp cry suddenly came from the air, and a sharp-beaked black giant bird attacked Su Muyao.

The first attack was suddenly blocked by a red glow surrounding Su Muyao.

Su Muyao showed a surprised expression, this Fox Fur really carried Power, acting like a Barrier against danger.

So did Hua Linye really not want her to get hurt?

The sharp-beaked giant bird, after being blocked, came swooping down again.

Su Muyao activated her superpower, holding the Bone Knife in one hand to protect herself, while quickly absorbing the surrounding plant energy with the other hand.

At this moment, her Blood and Qi surged.

But then, an arrow with flames pierced directly through the attacking giant bird.

At the same time, Hua Linye landed in front of her.

Shielding her behind him.

Meanwhile, his nine tails emerged, enveloping her, taking a protective stance.

Blocking all attacks for her.

Seeing Hua Linye's figure, Su Muyao was stunned.

He actually came back!

Hua Linye said nothing, immediately engaging in battle!

Suddenly, two more sharp-beaked black giant birds appeared in the sky, attacking frantically.

Hua Linye protected Su Muyao while drawing his bow to shoot arrows.

One of the giant birds transformed into human form, saying sharply, "Hua Linye, you've been poisoned by Fire Poison, and forcibly using the Magic Artifact to fight us will cause your Spirit Sea to go berserk, leaving you dead or crippled."

"It's not worth protecting such a vicious She-beast!"

"Our master has a Secret Technique to suppress the Beast Husband Contract, if she dies, you won't die either, so if you cooperate with us, my master will teach you the Secret Technique."
