When Su Muyao was about to leave, the chief's wife reluctantly held her hand and said, "Miss Su, do come by and visit us whenever you have time!"
Su Muyao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!"
Even after Su Muyao left, the chief looked at his wife and said, "It's rare to see you like someone so much."
He had never seen his wife so enthusiastic towards someone before.
The chief's wife said, "I don't know why, I just really like that child."
"I think maybe we misunderstood Miss Mu Yao before."
"She seems very nice to me, and she even saved Ningning; she's our benefactor as well."
"You're the chief of the Beiluo Tribe, you should look after them more in the future."
The chief, being someone who pays back kindness, responded seriously, "Of course, they have shown us kindness, we must return the favor."
"We should hunt more game and send some to them as well."
At this time, Gu Ningning spoke softly, "Mom and Dad, I... I really like Sister Su."
Hearing what Gu Ningning said, the chief's wife got excited, "Ningning, what did you just say?"
Ningning had been weak and timid since childhood, rarely expressing her preferences or having friends.
She was also afraid of approaching anyone.
Gu Ningning lowered her head and said, "It's just that Sister Su feels so warm and fragrant."
She felt that Sister Su was good.
She would also repay Sister Su.
The chief's wife happily said, "Sister Su said you should bask in the sun more in the future, and when you get better, you can go play with Sister Su."
It's good to have preferences.
And she also thought Su Muyao was nice, naturally willing for Ningning to have more contact with her.
If the two could become friends, it would be even better.
...
After using some Wood Element Ability, Su Muyao was indeed tired, and she went straight to bed after returning home.
The weather was still somewhat hot, and lying on animal hides at night, Su Muyao felt a bit warm.
Plus, there were mosquitoes and bugs at night.
Su Muyao sighed and said, "Looks like I still need to go to the forest during the day to find some insect-repelling herbs."
At this time, there were no mosquito nets, only insect-repellent medicine to make.
She also planned to find some grass to weave into grass mats.
This way, it would be comfortable to sleep when the weather is somewhat hot.
Thinking of these, Su Muyao quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, as the sky was just getting light, Su Muyao woke up.
This was a habit she developed in the post-apocalyptic world, going to bed late and waking up early.
Su Muyao got out of bed and, after opening the inner room door, saw Hua Linye in the courtyard.
He heard the sound, and his fox eyes showed a hint of surprise.
She used to sleep in until the sun was high, never waking up so early.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Wife, you're awake?"
Su Muyao was stunned for a moment, "You're up this early too?"
"Hmm!"
They were also used to getting up early to cultivate and enhance their strength.
To survive in such a harsh northern environment, the stronger their power, the more secure it was.
Furthermore, it was his turn to take care of his wife today.
So he waited early in the courtyard.
Hua Linye brought a basin of water and toiletries next to Su Muyao for her convenience.
Su Muyao really wasn't used to this.
"In the future, just focus on your own stuff, no need to take such care of me."
Hua Linye awkwardly said, "As Beast Husband, this is what we're supposed to do."
Though they couldn't let her handle anything, they still needed to do what they could.
Su Muyao said indifferently, "You're currently only my nominal Beast Husband, in three months we'll part ways, so it's unnecessary."
Mainly, she wasn't used to it.
From waking to sleeping, being waited on all the time, she felt odd.
It felt like being watched or monitored.
She preferred being a little freer.
Upon hearing this, Hua Linye felt an uncomfortable feeling rise in his heart for some unknown reason.
He couldn't figure out why at the moment.
"But it's still three months, during these three months we should take care of you."
Su Muyao said, "You don't have to force yourself."
"Even without you, I can take care of myself. I won't starve."
Hua Linye's heart sank, "No, it's not like that."
Clearly, she wasn't insulting him, but hearing those words made his heart feel heavy, somewhat oppressive.
He wanted to explain but didn't know how.
Indeed, it was they who wanted to leave.
But why, upon hearing those words, didn't he feel as happy as he imagined?
Su Muyao thought the previous behavior was terrible; it was understandable if they didn't trust her.
She seriously said, "Rest assured, I will do what I said."
After speaking, she ignored Hua Linye and continued with her washing up.
There were a lot of things to do in a while.
The Beast World Continent wasn't so backward, and people used willow leaves dipped in salt to brush their teeth.
Salt was quite expensive, but the previous body didn't care about that, as long as it was comfortable.
After a simple wash, Su Muyao prepared to make breakfast.
She used the spices that appeared in the space last night to stew pork offal.
Hua Linye looked at her busy figure, thin and small, like she had been abandoned by them.
Just looking at her made one feel pity.
When she wasn't being arrogant and yelling, she wasn't that hard to get along with.
"Can I do something to help?"
Su Muyao turned to look at Hua Linye, seeing his expression, he seemed genuinely wanting to help without pretending.
She then said, "I saw last night that the sweet potato starch has already settled, it needs the water on top to be poured off, then add water again to stir and let it settle further."
They had superpowers, which made these tasks much quicker.
Besides, she wasn't cooking just for herself; everyone was going to eat together, so there was no issue with working together.
"Sure."
Hua Linye then went to do those tasks.
While Su Muyao was making breakfast, Xiao Jihan and Wen Nanxi also came over to help.
They were up early, and heard the conversation between Hua Linye and Su Muyao clearly.
It seemed like she genuinely planned to dissolve their relationship this time.
This left them feeling complicated.
Wen Nanxi didn't say anything, naturally stepping forward to help with the fire.
Xiao Jihan went to chop wood, even though his aura was cold and frosty while doing it.
Su Muyao thought of the scene from her first day of crossing over, feeling a sense of rejection, not quite willing to interact with him more.
But he did his job protecting her last night, and she convinced herself that only three months were left.
After a night's sleep, she could feel her superpower enhanced a bit.
Given time, regaining her strength wouldn't be a problem.
Stewing the pork offal took quite a long time, and she had to watch the heat.
When steam started to come from the lid, emitting a strong fragrance, Wen Nanxi and the others all noticed, showing expressions of surprise.
The aroma was wonderful.
Even Lin Qin, who was still sleeping next door, was awakened by the delicious smell.
She almost drooled in her sleep.
She was on the verge of craving tears.
"What smells so good, just like last night?"
"What's the little sister's Beast Husband cooking that's so tasty?"
Lin Qin thought that it was Su Muyao's Beast Husbands cooking because she-beasts with Beast Husbands usually didn't cook themselves.
After the pork offal was ready, she used another pot to make corn and egg custard.
Pouring cornmeal into a wooden bowl, she added well water and mixed until smooth.
In another bowl, she cracked bird eggs, added a dash of space seasoning and a little vinegar to remove the odor.
She put the well-mixed bird eggs aside.
Once the water in the pot was boiling, Su Muyao poured in the mixed cornmeal and continued stirring.
After cooking for a while, she continued stirring to prevent sticking, then poured in the bird egg mixture.
Wen Nanxi was slightly taken aback, watching Su Muyao use cornmeal to make food.
Her method was a bit different.
