Chapter 94: Fight for Favor
Su Muyao was completely caught off guard. Hearing his teasing words, and feeling the bewitching aura radiating from his entire body, she froze.
Realizing his implication, her face turned bright red.
She didn’tāshe wasn’t thinking of doing that to him.
Su Muyao hurriedly explained, “No… it’s not like that. I was just…”
Before Su Muyao could finish, Wen Nanxiās lips pressed down on hers.
Su Muyaoās words were blocked, impossible to utter.
His aura remained gentle but carried a trace of dominance that prevented her from breaking free. Gradually, Su Muyaoās body went soft, and she couldn’t help but drown in his scent.
Only when Su Muyao could no longer breathe did Wen Nanxi release her.
Wen Nanxi lightly touched her brows and lips, whispering, “Mm, I know.”
“Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. Leave such things to me to initiate.”
Su Muyao didn’t want to speak anymore; she shut down. She felt that nothing she said now could clear this up. Wen Nanxi must think she wanted to take advantage of him while he slept.
I didn’t! I wasn’t!
Previously, Wen Nanxi clearly wasn’t like this. He seemed gentle but actually kept everyone at arm’s length, appearing distant and indifferent. And he seemed uninterested in everything.
Who knew he could be so soul-stirringly flirtatious, leaving one unable to react or parry?
At this moment, looking down at her charming appearance and her fully recovered face, Wen Nanxi marveled inwardly.
He actually wished her face hadn’t recovered. With looks like hers, it would be too easy to attract romantic rivals.
Wen Nanxiās picturesque gaze darkened.
Meeting his eyes, Su Muyao felt an electric shock run through her body. She quickly said, “Um, I saw you hadn’t gotten up, so I came to check.”
“Let’s get up and eat breakfast. After eating, we’ll go to the forest.”
Only then did Wen Nanxi gently let go of Su Muyao, his eyes lingering on her, reluctant to release her.
Seeing him sit up, Su Muyao hurriedly rolled off the bed.
Seeing her reaction, Wen Nanxi helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. He still had to restrain himself and not be too hasty. Otherwise, if he scared his wife, what if she stopped coming to his room in the future?
His door was open just for her.
When Su Muyao returned to the kitchen, Mei Qingchen was there too. Su Muyao didn’t want to acknowledge him.
Seeing her expression and lips, Hua Linye and Xiao Jihanās breath hitched. They didn’t need to guess to know what had happened in Wen Nanxiās room.
A crisis alarm rang in Hua Linyeās heart. He felt he couldn’t let this continue, or he would have no place in the Wife’s heart.
Thinking quickly, he scooped a bowl of soup and lifted a spoonful. “Wife, this is the soup I made. Taste it and see how it is!”
Hua Linyeās voice was soft and husky as he spoke. His fox eyes held a bewitching look, radiating charm from head to toe.
Su Muyao took it. “I can do it myself.”
“But I want to feed the Wife.”
At this moment, Xiao Jihan placed a soup dumpling in Su Muyaoās bowl. “If the Wife doesn’t want soup, try the soup dumpling I made.”
Mei Qingchen found Hua Linye and Xiao Jihanās behavior bizarre.
Is this necessary? Fighting for favor like this over Su Muyao!
Although he was disdainful internally, Mei Qingchen felt he couldn’t lose ground, or he would be chased away again. Remembering the Beast Husband Cultivation Manual, he silently picked up a meatball to put in Su Muyaoās bowl.
Su Muyao immediately covered her bowl. “Mei Qingchen, what tricks are you playing?”
Su Muyaoās body tensed, her eyes full of wariness and distrust.
Mei Qingchen suddenly felt he couldn’t catch his breath.
Just then, a light, carefree laugh like a clear spring rang out. “Who told you to always say you couldn’t eat food made by the little girl, claiming it would be drugged or poisoned?”
“Well? Now you know how those words tasted to others back then?”
Mei Qingchen gritted his teeth. “Shut up!”
He knew it was the voice of the sword. He didn’t know how, but after upgrading, his bonded sword could speak. And it constantly mocked him.
“If you talk nonsense again, I’ll seal you with blood.”
The sword let out a faint, ethereal laugh, seemingly mocking him, but indeed fell silent.
Under the gazes of Hua Linye and the others, Mei Qingchen felt he couldn’t sit still and had the urge to turn and leave. But he endured it again and again, refusing to go.
Xiao Jihan spoke coolly, “Mei Qingchen, if you can’t stand it, you can leave!”
Mei Qingchen hadn’t expected the usually taciturn Xiao Jihan to say such things. It was for Su Muyao.
His hand gripping the chopsticks tightened, but he suddenly smiled charmingly. “You all loathed the Wife before, yet you could change. Why can’t I?”
“We are all the same; no need to mock anyone!”
Just then, Wen Nanxiās warm voice sounded.
“Is that so?”
“Then, during these days when we were guarding the Wife’s side, where did you go?”
“Do not lump us in with you.”
As Wen Nanxi spoke, a faint, intimidating pressure pressed directly toward Mei Qingchen.
Mei Qingchen was at the peak of Level 3, yet he was instantly suppressed by Wen Nanxiās ability aura.
“You… Level 4 strength!”
Mei Qingchen revealed a shocked expression. Yesterday, Wen Nanxi was only Level 3.
“Correct!”
“This is all thanks to the Wife!”
Wen Nanxi walked over and sat at the dining table, looking at Su Muyao with eyes full of affectionate tenderness.
Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan both looked at Su Muyao.
Hua Linyeās eyes turned resentful and aggrieved. “Wife really favors one over the other.”
“The Wife must have discarded me. I know I’m useless; I didn’t protect the Wife well yesterday.”
“I wish I could stab myself!”
Mei Qingchen was stunned watching Hua Linye. Is this some brothel-style fight for favor?
He remembered a friend’s mother who took in a beautiful, frail courtesan husband who fought for favor exactly like this. Where did Hua Linye learn this?
And while speaking, he deliberately bent his tall frame, acting as frail and boneless as if he wanted to plaster himself onto Su Muyao.
Mei Qingchen felt it was unbearable to watch. What decent beast husband would act like this?
Hua Linye didn’t care. As long as he could stay by the Wife’s side, he would use any method he learned or saw. As long as it worked.
Xiao Jihan couldn’t learn that behavior. He simply said in a low voice, “If there is anything about Jihan that the Wife dislikes, Jihan will change.”
Su Muyaoās head was spinning. Who can teach me how to hold a bowl of water level?
I don’t know how!
It was just that when she transmigrated, she already had several husbands. Before, when they hated her, she could interact normally. Now that it was like this, she didn’t know how to coax them!
Balancing relationships between beast husbands was truly a field of study!
