Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Protecting Her Life

Seeing Su Muyao’s face looking unwell, Wen Nanxi reached out to gently touch her hair and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t do such a thing."

Hearing Wen Nanxi say this, Su Muyao’s complexion improved slightly.

Xiao Jihan also nodded, saying, "Good!"

Hua Linye restrained his pitiful expression, realizing that such an approach was ineffective.

He now understood that getting into the heart of the wife was not an easy task.

He truly regretted his previous cold words of wanting to leave her.

Hua Linye gathered his emotions, his foxy eyes gleaming deep with earnestness, and earnestly responded, "Sorry, wife, I understand."

"I promise this won’t happen again!"

But he did not regret his recent actions.

He could see that she was happier selling things than she was at home.

He wished to protect that smile.

Seeing that everyone had listened to her, Su Muyao nodded.

Her expression changed slightly, and she said, "Still, thank you for just now, but you mustn’t do it again!"

"I don’t want any of you to get hurt."

Hua Linye’s face immediately blossomed with an alluring smile, "I understand, wife!"

"You do care about me."

"I promise to listen to you."

"If you say east, I won’t go west."

Su Muyao only felt that this fox was trying to beguile her again.

She didn’t respond to his words, simply saying, "Go and take a rest!"

Then, Su Muyao continued selling things.

Nearby, the customers were stunned by the scene just now.

A nearby beast nudged the arm of the person next to him, "Did you see that? Learn from it, and your wife will treat you differently."

"This can’t be learned!"

Su Muyao heard their whispered discussion, coughed awkwardly, and said, "What are you buying?"

"Oh, hemostatic packets!"

"Yes, buy two packets of hemostatic medicine."

Su Muyao found that once people realized the effectiveness of the hemostatic packets, their enthusiasm for buying grew.

A crowd gathered, and many people who came later joined in.

The world of beastmen also loves a lively scene.

Thus, queues started to form.

Fortunately, Su Muyao had prepared many hemostatic medicine bags in advance.

Su Muyao collected a lot of crystal coins, and she loved the sound of them clinking in her money pouch.

This feeling was both fulfilling and reassuring.

Later, having too many, she began putting the coins directly into her space.

This was more safe and secure.

Their business was doing quite well.

As noon approached, with most of the goods sold, Su Muyao considered whether to pack up and stroll around before having some lunch.

Just as she was thinking about packing up, a steward-like uncle hurriedly ran over, saying, "Excuse me, stall owner, do you still have those hemostatic medicine bags?"

Su Muyao looked at the few packets left in the basket.

The man thought there were only a few left and said, "Are there any more? I’ll buy them all!"

"Your hemostatic medicine bag works wonders. Just now, several of my guards returned severely injured, and your medicine bag really stopped the bleeding, saving their lives."

"However many bags you have, I’ll buy them all."

The man looked at Su Muyao with gratitude.

It was as if Su Muyao had saved their lives.

Su Muyao paused and said, "Sorry, they’re all sold out."

"Ah, they’re all sold out. When will you have more?"

"I should’ve bought more earlier!"

The man regretted not buying enough before.

Critically, the price was cheap, half that of the medical hall.

Of course, some stalls sold cheaper medicine bags, but their efficacy wasn’t good.

Su Muyao smiled and said, "I’ll come again next market."

The man sighed, resigning to wait until the next market.

Remembering something, he asked, "By the way, you mentioned small sample packets earlier. Can I buy them?"

Initially, Su Muyao had prepared those small sample packets for people to try.

But because Hua Linye demonstrated their effectiveness, the sample packets were no longer needed.

Su Muyao said, "Sure, there are twenty sample medicine bags, each is quite small, I’ll charge you five copper crystal coins per packet."

The man was delighted and handed Su Muyao a hundred copper crystal coins.

Su Muyao handed him the sample packets.

He looked at the brown sugar and sunflower seeds beside him and asked, "Is this all you have of the brown sugar and sunflower seeds?"

"Yes, twelve pieces of brown sugar and a small amount of sunflower seeds remain."

The man directly bought them all as well.

Su Muyao was very happy and gave him a slight discount.

And with that, everything was sold out.

"Let’s go, let’s walk around and buy some things first."

She still had plenty to buy.

The group started strolling in the marketplace.

People from various tribes had come to set up stalls, selling meat, mountain fruits, vegetables, and bird eggs in abundance.

Su Muyao first went to the stall selling clay pots.

After selecting and haggling, she bought a pile of clay pots and jars of various sizes.

The large clay pots could be used to pickle sauerkraut and store food.

Before the snowy season, these items were necessary for storage.

Having bought the pots, she saw people selling eggs of ducks, chickens, birds, with the duck eggs being quite large in size.

"Stall owner, how much are these eggs?"

"Two copper crystal coins each."

Su Muyao said, "I’ll buy them all!"

She planned to pickle the duck eggs into salted eggs, and the yolks could be used to make many delicacies.

They could also be used to make pastries for sale.

She was now keen on business ventures.

Then Su Muyao bought some soybeans and rice.

Wen Nanxi and the others accompanied her along the way, protecting her from being jostled.

Later, Su Muyao bought some cornmeal.

She planned to sell breakfast in the future, using cornmeal mixed with white flour to make multigrain pancakes.

She also needed to make some small stoves.

Then they went to the store that made ironware.

After paying the deposit, Su Muyao headed out and suddenly saw a cart about to hit a cat.

Seeing the cat, memories from the end times flooded back.

Su Muyao’s face changed drastically, and she reflexively rushed forward.

From somewhere, she found the strength to leap forward, grabbing the cat and rolling aside.

She avoided the cart’s collision.

"Wife!"

Wen Nanxi and the others cried out, trying to quickly reach her.

But at that moment, the road seemed to split apart, with the cart as the boundary, separating Su Muyao from Wen Nanxi and the others.

Dark mist surged onto the street in front of Su Muyao, and the sky seemed to darken.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Muyao couldn’t react in time.

The cat in her arms suddenly transformed into a human, drawing a dagger and stabbing toward Su Muyao’s heart.

Such a sudden attack.

At this perilous moment, the Ice Crystal Pendant around her neck emitted a powerful force, repelling and killing the assassin.

Simultaneously, somewhere in the Ice Palace, Xie Guixue’s mouth suddenly dripped blood.

Realizing something, he vanished into thin air like the wind.
