Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Truly Extraordinary
Su Muyao carefully looked at Mei Qingchen.
It always felt like the morning sunlight blurred his eyebrows and eyes, making it hard to discern his expression.
But what he said should be true.
Mei Qingchen looked at Su Muyao and added, "Besides, you haven’t repaired my Lifebound Sword yet, the effectiveness of the medicine is still uncertain, and I can’t let you die, right?"
As he spoke, Mei Qingchen played casually with the knife with his delicate Xiu Ruomei Bone fingers.
Su Muyao watched, thinking his hands were really beautiful, and the knife looked really useful.
The Space System said, "Host, take this knife, it’s worth it!"
"Moreover, what he’s saying now should be true. He probably saw Hua Linye injured yesterday and thought the environment nearby was unsafe, so he’s giving you this knife for protection."
"He also fears you might die; if your medicine can indeed save his mother, he definitely cannot let you die."
Listening to the analysis from the Space System, Su Muyao found it quite reasonable.
Su Muyao was about to agree when Wen Nanxi returned.
He came like a gust of wind, holding Su Muyao protectively.
Then he looked at Mei Qingchen with dangerous eyes, "What do you intend to do?"
"If you dare harm the wife, I, Wen Nanxi, will fight you to the death."
Usually, Wen Nanxi had a gentle and elegant disposition; this time he seemed to raise sharp thorns, his whole body full of dangerous icy killing intent.
Mei Qingchen raised his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes looked at Su Muyao with a half-smile, "We were just talking."
"Weren’t we, my wife?"
This was the first time Mei Qingchen called her wife, the rising tone being able to easily stir the heart.
Like a lover’s intimate whisper.
Su Muyao couldn’t help but shiver.
She was very sure Mei Qingchen wanted to kill her; he definitely wouldn’t have any feelings for her.
So she always felt Mei Qingchen was plotting something.
Wen Nanxi hugged Su Muyao tightly, feeling her slight tremor, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
A gentle sentence, so soft and warm, quickly soothed Su Muyao’s heart.
Su Muyao’s inner vigilance deepened further.
But at this moment, she came to her senses.
"Lifebound Sword, I will help you repair it, this knife, I don’t want."
"No merit, no reward."
She didn’t accept the Crystal Coins Wen Nanxi offered.
There’s no reason to accept Mei Qingchen’s dagger.
Regardless of the item’s quality, she didn’t want it; beauties are poisonous, she didn’t trust this knife, nor could she use it without any burden.
Besides, taking his knife, wouldn’t it mean entangling the relationship?
She didn’t want any involvement with Mei Qingchen.
Upon hearing her words, Mei Qingchen’s expression changed.
The clear brilliance in his phoenix eyes shifted, then turned tranquil and cold.
He could see she really liked the knife, really wanted it.
Yet he hadn’t expected her to refuse.
She actually refused?
Mei Qingchen couldn’t quite believe it.
Wen Nanxi was slightly surprised too; Mei Qingchen actually wanted to give this Mechanical Magical Artifact Knife to Su Muyao.
And Su Muyao refused.
This Mechanical Magical Artifact Knife was a treasure.
Mei Qingchen never parted with it.
It was said to be a birthday gift from his grandfather when he was young, holding extraordinary significance for him.
Now Mei Qingchen’s grandfather is long gone.
Yet he wanted to give this knife to Su Muyao!
Or was Mei Qingchen planning to do something with this knife?
Wen Nanxi knew the deep-seated grudge between Mei Qingchen and Su Muyao, and naturally didn’t believe they could get along.
Mei Qingchen laughed lazily, put away the dagger, said nothing more, and left directly.
He also didn’t mention letting Su Muyao continue helping with the Lifebound Sword.
Su Muyao frowned at his departing figure, feeling he was acting strangely today.
Wen Nanxi looked at Su Muyao worriedly, "How are you, okay?"
Su Muyao shook her head, "I’m fine."
Wen Nanxi looked at her, though he had many questions, he didn’t ask.
He looked at the ground at her feet, softly saying, "Do you need help turning over this plot, I’ll do it!"
Her strength was small, doing this would be quite tiring.
Su Muyao explained, "Um, I plan to plant some vegetables and potatoes here, so that when they grow, we can pull them up and have meals at home."
"Plus, there’s a large open space behind our house, perhaps we could fence it and plant some things?"
The place where they lived was in the northern part of the tribe, with all empty land behind.
Su Muyao thought if they could utilize it, they certainly should.
If they could plant more crops, there’d be no need to go into the mountains every day.
Listening to Su Muyao, Wen Nanxi knew, she truly intended to farm.
It seemed what she said last night was indeed true.
"Of course, later I’ll find some stones and build a courtyard wall from the back, then it will be like a backyard."
Since she wanted to do these things, he supported her.
As long as she was happy.
Su Muyao beamed with a smile, "Can it be fenced larger?"
"Later I also plan to raise some chickens and ducks, so we can have eggs readily available."
She could also use duck eggs to make salted duck eggs, which could be made into snacks and dishes.
Seeing her happy, the warm and artistic eyebrows of Wen Nanxi were also filled with a smile, he said indulgently, "Okay."
Subsequently, Wen Nanxi filled the water tank with water and began turning the soil.
Hua Linye finished cleaning inside the house, then came out to the yard to prepare sunflower seeds.
The sun came out, so he also helped to sun-dry the herbs.
Xiao Jihan silently said nothing, just continued simmering brown sugar.
This was also a slow and careful task, which he was consistently busy with.
...
In the following days, Wen Nanxi and others indeed followed Su Muyao’s arrangements and didn’t go into the forest.
They all helped with chores at home.
The brown sugar was finished, the seeds roasted.
The rear wall was also completed, enclosing a very large courtyard.
And the land was completely turned.
Making it convenient for Su Muyao to plant things.
Everything proceeded according to Su Muyao’s plan.
In these few days, Mei Qingchen hadn’t returned.
...
Meanwhile, in the Mei Family at Beast Emperor City.
The Mechanical Bird flew back to the Mei Family, the Mei Family Master immediately retrieved the letter from the bird.
The letter contained words written in code by Mei Qingchen.
Only the Mei Family Master could understand it.
Reading the letter, the Mei Family Master’s calm and composed face revealed a shocked expression.
Initially, he was sitting while reading the letter, but upon reading further, even the steady Mei Family Master couldn’t sit still.
"She-beast, Purification Ability!"
"Heal Fire Poison..."
The Mei Family Master read bit by bit, feeling waves surging in his heart.
Despite being prepared, he was very shocked.
After a long while, he exclaimed, "Truly extraordinary!"
"The initial decision was indeed correct!"
Thankfully his son was married over.
This was insight gained from opening the Mei Family altar.
"The medicine, right, the medicine!"
The Mei Family Master took the medicine list, hurriedly summoned the dedicated household doctor to examine it.
The household doctor finished reading, his hands started to tremble.
"Wonderful, wonderful..."
The doctor excitedly praised after reading, and with an excited expression, he looked at the Mei Family Master, asking, "May I inquire Master, which senior wrote this prescription?"
