Wen Nanxi's clear, picturesque eyes briefly gathered a serious expression before quickly engaging in battle with the enormous beast.
Don't be fooled by Wen Nanxi's usual gentle and refined demeanor; when he truly fights, he carries an aura as cold as frost and snow.
The oppressive atmosphere around him was intense.
The Bone Knife in his hand spun rapidly, like a wind blade, shooting towards the beast.
The beast's strength seemed not weak either; it quickly reacted and dodged this lethal move.
Yet, the Bone Knife was quick to return to Wen Nanxi's hand as he spun around.
Wen Nanxi leaped down from mid-air, thrusting the Bone Knife straight through the beast's neck.
When he pulled out the Bone Knife, blood splattered.
But he gracefully avoided it, without a drop of blood touching him.
"Boom..."
The beast collapsed with a thunderous sound, shaking the ground slightly.
Su Muyao watched this scene, her eyes widened.
She could see that Wen Nanxi hadn't used much strength at all, effortlessly dealing with this beast.
It shows that his gentle and refined demeanor is just a facade; his true power is formidable.
The previous self didn't possess any superpower, so how did she dare provoke these Beast Husbands?
And even brutally abuse them one by one; wasn't she afraid that they couldn't take it and would kill her?
Although she was the wife, if she were killed, they would be buried alongside her.
But surely there are some Secret Techniques to kill someone without a trace!
Recalling the memory of breaking ties with the five Beast Husbands, each eyeing her as if they wished to kill her, Su Muyao felt a bit tearlessly distressed.
"Wife?"
Seeing Su Muyao unresponsive, Wen Nanxi jumped up to the tree.
Upon hearing the voice, Su Muyao snapped back to reality and then saw the picturesque brows and eyes of Wen Nanxi in front of her.
So unexpected.
"Ah!"
Su Muyao instinctively wanted to evade, retreating involuntarily.
But this was amidst the branches.
As Su Muyao retreated, she directly fell from the tree.
Wen Nanxi leapt down and caught Su Muyao mid-air.
"Is the wife alright?"
Being held by Wen Nanxi, Su Muyao could smell his fresh and pleasant scent, which seemed capable of easily enchanting one's mind.
Remembering the scene of him killing the beast just now, recalling the former self's abuse towards him, her body stiffened involuntarily.
"Well, I'm alright, just let me go; yes, just put me down."
Su Muyao said this without daring to touch Wen Nanxi.
Each one of them detested her touch, it's best to avoid provoking them.
In the post-apocalyptic world, mutual slaughter is common, Su Muyao instinctively self-protects.
Looking down at Su Muyao in his arms, Wen Nanxi was holding her for the first time, with her showing no joy, face pale, expression cautious, body stiff.
Long eyelashes fluttered like feathers.
Different from the usual obsessive and insane gaze; now her eyes are clear and pure.
She is indeed different from before.
Wen Nanxi's expression darkened momentarily, then a spark of brilliance flickered as he huskily whispered in her ear: "Wife, are you afraid of me?"
Su Muyao bit her lip gently, whispering: "No, how could that be!"
But as she finished speaking, she froze.
She looked up at Wen Nanxi, immediately meeting the deep, swirling darkness in his eyes, seemingly ready to swallow her whole.
Suddenly, Su Muyao felt she might not understand this Snake Beast Husband Wen Nanxi at all.
He seemed extremely dangerous now, unlike his usual gentle demeanor.
Could that be his disguise, a protective coloration?
But she wanted to get down, yet Wen Nanxi just held her without letting go.
Su Muyao struggled slightly but couldn't move.
Her superpower was too weak now to withstand Wen Nanxi's strength.
"The wife used to like me holding you like this."
Su Muyao's eyelashes trembled. The former self indeed liked it, but she isn't the former self.
She smiled faintly, awkwardly saying, "I just wanted to make a fresh start!"
Su Muyao instinctively felt Wen Nanxi was somewhat suspicious of her.
She wanted to say something.
But just then, a soft and cute voice suddenly resounded in her mind, "Host, I'm finally awake!"
"So happy! The host is still here."
Su Muyao heard the voice of the Space System in her mind, communicated with it using her consciousness: "As long as you're okay, are the things stored in my space still there?"
The Space System had been with her since she was conscious at birth.
In the post-apocalyptic world, she managed to store materials, awaken her superpowers, and survive, all with its help.
And it protected her fiercely.
Although it was a Space System, they shared emotions too.
The Space System lightly explained: "Host, when your superpower upgraded during the post-apocalypse and you crossed into this world, I got injured following you. Now the space permissions are limited, only covering half an acre, those materials can only be gradually unlocked after upgrading."
In the post-apocalyptic world, Su Muyao had stored countless materials, all in the space villa.
Her space originally covered a vast area; with materials temporarily unavailable, Su Muyao was anxious but helpless.
"What is the opportunity for an upgrade?"
The Space System said: "It requires the host to engage in intimate contact with the Beast Husband to release permissions to varying degrees."
"This time it's because the host had an intimate hug with the Beast Husband that I could wake up."
Su Muyao sighed; never would have thought the spatial appearance opportunity was like this.
Moreover, to unlock certain permissions, she must engage in intimate contact with a Beast Husband?
The Space System seemed reminded of something, "Host, if you engage in substantial relations with the Beast Husband, you know, that kind of sweet relationship, the space will upgrade quickly and you can fast unlock materials."
Su Muyao's mouth twitched, "If you want me to survive, stop saying things like that."
Looks like she'll have to find food on her own for now.
Watching Su Muyao's vivid expression as she communicated with the Space System, Wen Nanxi's eyes revealed a mischievous glint.
It was indeed much more interesting.
After communicating with the Space System, Su Muyao came back to her senses.
At this time, Wen Nanxi let her down.
Su Muyao hurriedly distanced herself from Wen Nanxi, approaching the beast and asking: "Is the meat of this beast edible?"
"This beast is not edible; it's a Mutated Beast."
Su Muyao knew that in this mountain forest, there were many beasts, but also Mutated Beasts, carrying poison so they couldn't be eaten.
Just like mushrooms, some are poisonous and cannot be eaten, while others are non-poisonous and edible.
Su Muyao stopped caring about the dead beast and continued seriously picking tomatoes.
Wen Nanxi didn't say more but naturally assisted.
Soon, the basket was filled with tomatoes.
She wanted to find other food or some medicinal herbs.
Su Muyao kept searching, as just then, the Space System excitedly said: "Host, I can now detect things within a hundred-meter radius, and under the grass a hundred meters ahead are sweet potatoes."
