Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Loyalty and Righteousness

Su Muyao opened the oil paper and saw inside items made from cotton, long and clean yet thick.

After quickly changing, Su Muyao said softly, "I’m done."

Once changed, with the beast skin covering her, Su Muyao let out a gentle sigh of relief.

Wen Nanxi heard Su Muyao’s voice and then put away the bamboo.

Wen Nanxi came back to Su Muyao, "How is it? Are you feeling a bit uncomfortable?"

Today her face had been rather pale.

He initially thought she was thinking about Xie Guixue or Shen Ci’an.

It turned out to be because of this.

As long as her body is okay.

But this time must be quite uncomfortable as well.

Su Muyao initially wanted to say it was nothing, but Wen Nanxi’s voice was so gentle, with eyes like a painting full of liquid warmth, carrying a sense of indulgence, as if enveloping her entirely.

It made Su Muyao’s hardened heart soften and loosen; she nodded, "Mm, just a bit uncomfortable."

At this moment, Wen Nanxi felt as if his heart was stabbed sharply a few times, aching with pain.

His eyes overflowed with a look of tenderness, as if cherishing Su Muyao immensely.

These days, she appeared quite normal, but Wen Nanxi knew she kept matters close to her heart, and she was diligently cultivating and absorbing spiritual power daily, seemingly anxious to grow stronger.

Seeing her like this made him feel heartache.

Wen Nanxi drew her into his embrace, placing his hand on her belly, using his superpower to warm her up.

"Does this feel a bit better?"

Su Muyao could feel a warm sensation in her stomach, a comforting feeling, and it hurt less.

"Mm, much better."

Wen Nanxi saw her complexion improve, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Hua Linye and Xiao Jihan seemed to understand, their faces flushed, not knowing what to say at that moment.

Hua Linye, recalling his fire ability, hurried forward, placing his hand on her back. A stream of fire ability warmth surged into Su Muyao’s body.

Su Muyao’s body instantly warmed up, with soothing warmth flowing through her limbs.

Making her body instantly comfortable.

"Does it feel better, Wife, should I add more warmth?"

Hua Linye controlled the temperature, fearing Su Muyao would feel uncomfortable.

Su Muyao nodded, "It feels great, don’t worry, let’s just head home first."

She felt much better and more energized.

Wen Nanxi glanced at Su Muyao’s complexion; indeed it was much better, and she seemed a bit more spirited, so he nodded, "Okay, let’s go home first."

Hua Linye retracted his fire ability.

He transformed back to his original form to take Su Muyao home.

Back home, Wen Nanxi first boiled some hot water for Su Muyao to wash up.

After cleaning up and changing clothes, Su Muyao prepared to soak soybeans for making soy milk.

Wen Nanxi, watching her, felt both helpless and heartache, "Wife, you need to rest now."

"I’m fine."

Su Muyao grew up in an environment where she wasn’t pampered.

But to Wen Nanxi and others, her strength appeared too persistent and evoked compassion.

Under the tense worry of Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan, Su Muyao decided to listen to them and return to her room for rest.

"Alright, I’ll go rest in the room."

Indeed, she felt a bit tired today.

Su Muyao lay on the bed in her room, but her mind wasn’t at ease, filled with many thoughts.

The Space System spoke, "Host has been so busy lately, finally can have a proper daytime rest."

These days, if not busy with writing medical books or cookbooks, the host was focused on cultivation and hadn’t had a proper rest.

"I feel for the host."

The host bears a lot internally, hiding emotions and not revealing them, to avoid worrying Wen Nanxi and others.

But it knew the host kept busy to avoid thoughts of Xie Guixue and Shen Ci’an.

Su Muyao softly said, "I’m fine."

"Was it Shen Ci’an who destroyed the Jue Sha Sect?"

She knew the system sometimes could probe certain things.

The Space System replied, "Yes, the person in red was Shen Ci’an."

Su Muyao asked, "Is Shen Ci’an alright?"

The system paused, then spoke, "Well, he’s still alive."

"As for his wellbeing, I don’t know."

Su Muyao exhaled softly, "As long as he’s alive."

She would wait for him to return and personally heal him.

When Shen Ci’an first returned, she found him unreliable, his words sappy, and compliments seemed insincere.

She viewed him with prejudice but later realized he understood she wasn’t the original, treating her sincerely, doing many things earnestly for her, even risking his life to resolve the Jue Sha Sect.

If she claimed not to be moved or touched by someone genuinely caring for her, it would be false; she would reciprocate with genuine care.

Now she only wished for Shen Ci’an’s wellbeing.

No harm must come to him.

Pausing a moment, Su Muyao’s expression changed several times before asking, "Is... is he doing well?"

Though she didn’t state a name, the system knew she meant Xie Guixue.

Their host deeply valued emotions and loyalty.

Even after being humiliated by Master Xie, her feelings for Xie Guixue remained earnest.

Though claimed to be indifferent, she frequently asked about Xie Guixue’s wellbeing.

The system was used to it, so it said, "Rest assured, Xie Guixue is fine, and Master Xie is quite capable, having invited powerful elders from the Moon Clan to heal Xie Guixue."

"His soul seems to have received great restoration, though he’s still in slumber. His sleep aids soul recovery, and once restored, his Ice and Snow Spirit Beast talents will again become effective, leading to a swift boost in power."

"So, the host need not worry, focus on caring for yourself since you’re feeling uncomfortable, with a painful stomach."

Their host was curled up in bed, clearly from belly pain.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door from outside her room.

Su Muyao turned and said, "Come in."

After she spoke, the door creaked open, and Wen Nanxi entered.

He held a bowl with faint steam rising from it.

Su Muyao looked a bit puzzled.

"Nanxi."

Wen Nanxi gazed at her with tender eyes, "Mm, I made you some brown sugar ginger water. It should help."

Su Muyao was a bit taken aback, "How did you know this helps?"

Saying so, Su Muyao was about to sit up.

Wen Nanxi sat by the bed, set the bowl down, and gently helped her sit up.

He let her lean against his chest, then used his other hand to scoop the juice and feed her gently.

"I can do it myself."

Truthfully, Su Muyao did feel a bit weak and lacked energy.

"No worries, I’ll feed you."

Wen Nanxi, gently feeding her spoon by spoon, explained, "I remember when you made brown sugar from beets and mentioned cooking brown sugar ginger water for she-beasts helps significantly during their time."

Su Muyao was focused on cooking then, mentioning it casually, not expecting Wen Nanxi remembered.

After finishing the bowl, Su Muyao indeed felt a comforting warmth, "It feels much better."

...

Meanwhile at the Beishili Tribe

Ever since Wu Cui Fei was humiliated, she constantly plotted ways to kill Su Muyao.

But as she schemed against Su Muyao, she suddenly caught a strange illness, her face developed large red rashes, and her body emitted a foul stench.

This shocked and repelled everyone in the Beishili Tribe.

The tribe’s witch doctor claimed it was a contagious deadly plague and suggested the leader had Wu Cui Fei burned.
