Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Contractual Restraints

Su Muyao didn't dare to move recklessly, nor did she dare to put her hand on Hua Linye's fox fur.

Although it indeed looked great and felt wonderful, the texture of the fox fur was truly excellent.

But she still wanted to live well.

She liked the dense forests and abundant resources here.

The environment and everything else here couldn't compare to the apocalypse.

But thinking of Hua Linye's intent and hatred, she felt like crying but had no tears.

Hua Linye sensed something was off with her and directly transformed into his human form, pulling her into a hug, then gently placing her on the ground.

"Wife, what's wrong?"

She lowered her head with a pitiful look, as if he had done something to her.

He had never seen her like this before.

It made him hesitate to say anything harsh to her.

Su Muyao looked down at her toes and explained softly, "I didn't grab your fox fur on purpose."

"It's just that you ran so fast that if I didn't hold on, I would fall off."

She certainly wouldn't admit she had touched his fox fur.

This fox fur, if held while sleeping in the cold winter, would surely be warm and comfortable.

Realizing this thought, Su Muyao was startled.

Heavens, how could she have such an idea?

Su Muyao shook her head vigorously to shake off the thought from her mind.

Hua Linye looked down at her, rarely seeing her in this slightly soft and somewhat cute state.

Cute?

Realizing this word, Hua Linye was startled.

And at that moment, his heartstrings were unexpectedly moved, feeling a bit soft.

Though he had disliked her before.

Yet, the pheromones clearly told him she was different now.

Hua Linye couldn't help but want to touch her hair.

But the previous feeling of unwillingness to get close lingered, restraining him from touching her.

His beautiful lips moved slightly, and he softly said, "It's fine, feel free to hold on however you like."

Su Muyao was stunned and looked up at Hua Linye.

Then she met his beautiful eyes, which gleamed with a charming and gentle glow.

He wasn't planning to retaliate against her here?

Su Muyao slowly exhaled, "Alright!"

It seems the Beast Husband Contract is restraining him, and he won't do anything to her.

But she also needed to control herself.

Not to wait until the contract ends and they turn back for revenge.

Su Muyao wouldn't believe they genuinely felt differently about her.

Her past did so many detestable things; if she were one of those beast husbands, she could cut her into pieces for revenge.

So she understood their feelings quite well.

Hua Linye transformed back into his beast form, then carefully used his fox tail to wrap around Su Muyao, gently placing her on his back again.

He was just about to move when Su Muyao suddenly saw something nearby and quickly said, "Wait a moment!"

"What is it?"

"Put me down first."

Hua Linye complied.

After Su Muyao got off Hua Linye, she walked toward a tree not far away.

"Is this a wheat tree?"

Compared to the wheat stalks she saw in the apocalypse, these were thicker and taller, laden with large golden grains of wheat.

Su Muyao almost doubted her eyes.

But looking closely, these wheat grains were indeed wheat grains.

Truly such large grains of wheat.

The crops here seemed larger than the wheat grains in her past world.

All three or four times larger.

Hua Linye walked up next to Su Muyao, looking down at her, "What's the matter?"

"This is food."

"This is called wheat!"

Su Muyao was very happy and excited, couldn't help but share this exciting news with Hua Linye.

But Hua Linye had no idea what wheat was.

Just looking at these grains, thinking of food like rice, he speculated it might be similar.

The key was having wheat meant they could eat noodles.

Hua Linye understood Su Muyao's meaning, "Does the wife wish to harvest these?"

Su Muyao nodded, "Yes, you can cut the whole thing down, the stalks can be used as fuel for burning."

The stalks could be woven into straw hats, fans, mats, etc.

Just that these stalks were a bit thick.

They could also be used to make straw ash.

Having harvested the wheat, Su Muyao looked at Hua Linye with much more approval.

If it weren't for him leading the way, she wouldn't have discovered the wheat at all.

"We can make noodles when we get back."

Hua Linye didn't know what noodles were, just that Su Muyao was very happy at the moment.

Despite half of her face being smeared black, the smile in her eyes was genuine, her laughing eyes seemed to hold a pool of clear water, pure and clean.

Hua Linye quickly helped cut down the wheat stalk.

Su Muyao placed it directly into the Space.

Watching the wheat disappear suddenly, Hua Linye was stunned.

"Space Ability?"

Su Muyao nodded.

But deep inside, Hua Linye was stirred with waves; Dual Ability, and both extremely rare Space and Healing Abilities.

It's unbelievable.

Moreover, she was their wife.

When she was in the Beast Emperor City, she was called a useless and vicious she-beast.

There were many rumors about her.

She suffered the disgust and glares of countless people.

If those people knew she had Dual Ability, who knows what they would think.

Or maybe it's because she acquired abilities, so her entire self changed.

Anyway, it's a good change.

These past few days, seeing her behave like a normal she-beast, they were both shocked and worried she might revert overnight.

Of course, because they became her beast husbands, they were mocked and ridiculed in the Beast Emperor City.

Because their wife couldn't even soothe the berserk mental sea of a beast husband.

This was the most basic ability all she-beasts had.

But the Healing Ability was far superior to soothing the mental sea.

Su Muyao looked at Hua Linye, his fox eyes filled with a complex and profound expression.

"What's wrong?"

Hua Linye calmly said, "It's nothing."

"Does the wife need anything else?"

As long as she remained normal, whatever she needed, he would fulfill it for her.

Su Muyao glanced around, "First, let's see if there's more wheat around here."

But after circling around, they found nothing.

"Space System, did you find anything?"

The Space System said, "Host, no wheat was found within a hundred meters."

Seeing Su Muyao's somewhat disappointed expression, Hua Linye transformed into his animal form, leapt onto a tall tree, and looked out into the distance.

He used his fox-eye ability, consuming some of his ability, and found another wheat plant several hundred meters away in a half-valley.

Hua Linye came down from the tree and looked at Su Muyao, "There's another one, I'll take you there."

Su Muyao's eyes instantly brightened, "Great, let's go."

Hua Linye placed Su Muyao on his back and leapt over.

He quickly cut it down and placed it on the ground; Su Muyao used her mind to put it into the Space.

At that moment, the Space System excitedly said, "Host, sixty meters to the right is cabbage, large cabbage."

Su Muyao's eyes brightened further.

She quickly looked over, indeed seeing a cabbage patch; many cabbages, though all of normal cabbage size.

But that was enough.

With these cabbages, they could make dumplings, wontons, pies, and other foods.

Su Muyao carried a Bone Knife this time, excitedly digging up cabbages.

Watching her actions, Hua Linye walked over, silently helping, "I'll handle it, the wife can rest on the side."

He saw this thing as just grass, but seeing Su Muyao's excited expression, it was clearly not grass.

Could it also be food?
