Chapter 93: Strength
This was the first time Mei Qingchen looked at Su Muyao with such shock.
For male beasts, strength was paramount. He had always dedicated himself to cultivation to improve his strength. Yet, he was currently stuck at the peak of Level 3, unable to break through to Level 4.
He remembered it took him many years to go from Level 1 to Level 2. Su Muyao had reached Level 2 in such a short time.
And her faceāit had recovered and become beautiful. Her temperament was unique, possessing a worldly beauty like an orchid in an empty valley. She was much more beautiful than Liu Mengyan, who was chased by everyone in the Beast Capital.
And that Jiang Mochuan had been so cruel to Su Muyao just for Liu Mengyan.
This was also the first time he looked closely at her appearance from such a short distance. This time, Mei Qingchenās gaze became serious.
Su Muyao didn’t pay attention to Mei Qingchen at all; she was shocked by her own Level 2 ability power.
“Level 2!”
This made her very happy. The first medicinal bath tempering got her to Level 1, but it was unstable. But after fusing with a bit of Wen Nanxiās blood last night, it became Level 1.5. And after just one night of sleep, it was already Level 2.
Su Muyaoās mood was indescribably excited.
The Space System was equally excited. “Host, you leveled up! And it’s Level 2.”
“In this Beast World Continent, possessing Level 2 strength gives you the ability to protect yourself.”
“Even Jiang Mochuan, known as the number one talent in the Beast Capital, is only a Level 4 ability user.”
“Of course, he destroyed half his ability to forcibly dissolve the husband contract with you before, so he’s only Level 2 now. But that guy cultivates fast…”
Su Muyao interrupted the System with her thoughts. “No need to mention him. I don’t want to hear anything about him.”
The original host was obsessed with Jiang Mochuan, but she didn’t like him.
The System said weakly, “Okay, Host, I won’t talk about that.”
“I mean to say, normally you would need to temper your body multiple times to get such results.”
“And it’s easy to have side effects. But because you fused with Wen Nanxiās blood last nightāhe is of the Ancient Heavenly Snake lineage, full of ancient residual powerāyour body is fine, and you reached Level 2 strength instantly.”
“Wen Nanxiās body is so special. If the Host formed a bond with him, the effect would definitely be even better.”
“Perhaps there would be unexpected results…”
The System couldn’t help but chatter on excitedly.
Su Muyaoās expression shifted slightly. “Mm, I know!”
She would listen to the System, but whether to follow its advice was her own decision. However, seeing her Level 2 ability, Su Muyao was in a great mood.
Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan were cooking in the kitchen. Hearing the commotion, they rushed out.
Seeing Mei Qingchen standing in front of the Wife, they immediately stepped forward to block him. “Mei Qingchen, what are you doing now?”
Xiao Jihan said coldly, “Mei Qingchen, we will absolutely not allow you to harm the Wife.”
Mei Qingchenās lips curled into a charming arc. He smiled lazily. “I’m not doing anything. I just want to serve the Wife.”
“Besides, my sword is willing to be close to the Wife. If I harmed her, my sword wouldn’t agree.”
“So, Wife, give me a chance!”
Anger surged in Hua Linyeās heart. “Now you think of the Wife!”
“Even if someone serves the Wife, it won’t be your turn.”
Su Muyao said, “Ignore him. Let’s eat breakfast first.”
There were things to do after breakfast; no need to waste time on Mei Qingchen.
After washing up, Su Muyao went to the kitchen to eat. Not seeing Wen Nanxi, she felt anxious. “Where is Wen Nanxi?”
Seeing the Wife care so much about Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye felt a sour taste in his heart. “He probably hasn’t woken up yet!”
“But it’s strange. Usually, he wakes up the earliest.”
He thought, Could it be like me? Thinking about yesterday’s events, he couldn’t sleep last night and only dozed off near dawn?
Worried something was wrong with Wen Nanxi, Su Muyao ignored the food and rushed to Wen Nanxiās room.
Standing at the door, Su Muyao realized he might have locked it, and she wouldn’t be able to get in.
The Space System spoke excitedly, “Host, look! The door isn’t locked; it’s ajar.”
“This was left open for the Wife!”
“Before, they definitely locked their doors tight.”
Su Muyao discovered it was true; the door was visibly ajar.
Su Muyao knocked. Getting no response, she entered.
Once inside, she saw Wen Nanxi on the bed.
Su Muyao was stunned by the breathtaking sight.
The System said excitedly, “Host, this is the sleeping beauty look. Handsome and sexy. Host, do you want to…”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Su Muyao hurriedly stopped the System, fearing it would say something wild.
But she had to admit, the System was right.
Asleep, Wen Nanxiās features were even more picturesque. He wore a thin, plain white shirt, his skin gentle as jade. His long hair was scattered on the pillow. In the sunlight, his ink-black hair faintly reflected a green bamboo sheen, creating a stunning visual impact against his cool, pale skināa mysterious, sacred beauty.
His collar was slightly open, revealing but concealing, exposing a chest with defined muscles that glowed with a jade-like luster, exuding a bewitching sexiness.
It took Su Muyao a moment to steady her mind and not be beguiled by his beauty. She asked the System, “Is he still sleeping?”
The Space System scanned him. “Host, it must be the pill you gave him last night taking effect.”
“His body had many traumas; it felt a bit riddled with holes. So after eating the pill, the effect was like rain meeting a dry riverbed.”
“He is like this because the pill is repairing his body.”
“Look, there’s a glow around him. Hey… he broke through!”
Su Muyao watched in surprise. Wen Nanxiās ability seemed to jump from Level 3 to Level 4 instantly.
The System noticed something. “No, this isn’t a reaction to a breakthrough. He originally possessed powerful abilities. It’s likely because of the severe injuries in his body that his ability dropped to Level 3.”
“The injuries were partially repaired by the pill, so his ability recovered a portion, returning to Level 4.”
Su Muyao was shaken. “So, his original ability was even higher than Level 4!”
Suppressing her doubts, Su Muyao reached out to take Wen Nanxiās pulse at his wrist.
But seeing his open collar, she felt the beauty before her made it hard to focus on pulse-taking. She reached out, intending to tidy his collar first.
Just then, Wen Nanxi suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing Su Muyaoās action, his gentle, picturesque eyes seemed to flow with clear light, deep and dark.
He reached out, grabbed Su Muyaoās waist, and easily pulled her onto the bed. Then, rolling over, he pinned her between his embrace and the bed.
The corners of his eyes tilted up slightly. His gentle eyes curved with a faint, thin charm. Looking down at her deeply, his voice was low, husky, and teasing, “If the Wife desires, there is no need for this. Just leave the initiative to me.”
