Chapter 390 Not Hiding
Upon hearing these words, Ye Ying's fingers, gripping the spoon, tightened suddenly, turning bluish-white. A wave of bittersweet emotion surged through his heart.

He was the one who let her down.

Now, being able to stay by her side as Nightshade, watching over her and taking care of her, is already a luxury for him.

His emotions surged like waves, his jawline tightened, and his Adam's apple bobbed but he couldn't utter a sound.

Su Muyao waited patiently for his answer.

Nightshade took a deep breath and turned his gaze to her.

He met her eyes, his eyelashes trembling violently, then turned his head away to avoid her gaze, afraid that she would read a hint of disheveled guilt in his eyes.

He was afraid she would find out his previous identity.

He cherished every day he spent with her, fearing that one day she would find out who he was and would never allow him to appear again.

The regret in his heart felt like a fine needle gently pricking his heart, causing a dense, throbbing pain.

"Miss Su is so kind. After getting to know you, I can't help but want to be good to you."

“I feel that what I have done is nothing at all. I feel honored to be able to take care of Miss Su. I have never asked for anything in return.”

"I'm just afraid that I might do something wrong and make Miss Su dislike me."

He also told the truth.

He didn't want to lie to her.

The system exclaimed in surprise, "Host, could it be that he's fallen for you?"

"That's true. My host is so wonderful, it's only natural for a male to fall in love with you."

"However, I cannot ascertain his lineage, nor do I know if he is exceptionally talented or of noble birth."

"If that's the case, then it's understandable that the host would accept him."

Su Muyao said to the system, "Right now, all I want to do is save Yue Wuhen, so I don't have the mind to think about anything else."

After communicating with the system, Su Muyao still said to Ye Ying, "How could that be? You're so good, no one would dislike you."

She didn't want to cause trouble for Nightshade, but she couldn't respond to him either.

After a pause, Su Muyao added, "Ye Ying, I have some things to do that might put you in danger, so..."

Before Su Muyao could finish speaking, Ye Ying said directly, "I'll do it. Whatever it is, I'll do it for you."

"But you...please don't send me away."

His voice was low and hoarse, with a pleading tone.

Su Muyao had never seen such a shadowy figure in the night before.

Not to mention such a statement.

Su Muyao's heartstrings seemed to be suddenly plucked.

Su Muyao had indeed originally planned to go on an adventure with the sea tribe on her own.

Last time she brought danger to Night Shadow, they were lucky to have met their master and were unharmed.

This time, one wrong move and I could lose my life again.

She had harmed Yue Wuhen, and she didn't want anyone else to get hurt because of her.

The system could sense the sadness emanating from Nightshade. "Host, you want to do what's best for him and let him leave, but that's not what he wants. If you really let him go, I feel like he'll cry."

"But why does it feel like he's known you for a long time?"

Su Muyao thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't know any wild goose beastmen before."

Then, she looked at Nightshade and said in a soft voice, "Nightshade, I didn't mean to send you away, I'm just afraid of bringing you danger."

"I'm not afraid."

As long as you don't make him leave, that's fine.

"I can do anything for you."

Su Muyao was speechless.

She sighed inwardly, knowing that deep down she didn't want to hurt him at all.

Never mind, let's focus on getting better first.

……

When it came to serving the food, Ye Ying didn't let Su Muyao lift a finger.

Su Muyao sat to the side, feeling like she was being waited on hand and foot.

But when she saw so much seafood on the table, her eyes lit up.

"So much seafood?"

The crabs, scallops, and shrimp were all very large, especially the crabs and crayfish. They were so big, it was really satisfying to eat them.

Ye Ying looked at the smile on Su Muyao's face and her bright eyes, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that she wouldn't like eating these seafood dishes. Nightshade explained softly, "Well, most of the wild animals and crops on land have mutated, and many foods have problems. The area affected by darkness in the sea is less, so I got some seafood. I don't know if you'll like it."

Su Muyao gave Ye Ying a sincere smile and said, "Of course I like it, how could I not like it?"

Nightshade was relieved after hearing her words, "I'm glad you like it."

"I'll make it for you next time."

For him, getting fresh and large seafood was the simplest thing.

As Ye Ying spoke, she personally peeled crabs and shrimp for Su Muyao and ladled porridge for her.

The porridge was also seafood porridge, and Nightshade had kept the temperature just right as she drank it sip by sip.

"It tastes so delicious, it's really good."

Not only that, but the crab roe is also incredibly delicious. Scooping up a spoonful of roe is a truly satisfying experience.

The system said, "Host, Nightshade must have some connection with the sea creatures, otherwise they would not be able to obtain such large and fresh seafood."

Su Muyao said, "Let's eat first."

She is very hungry and just wants to eat.

She hadn't eaten anything since leaving the secret realm, and she was so hungry she felt dizzy.

Since her rebirth, she gets hungry easily and needs to eat a lot.

Fortunately, I don't gain weight no matter how much I eat.

The system told her that this was because she had become a Celestial Phoenix, and initially she needed more nutritious food and had to replenish many things, which was why she was in this condition.

Ye Ying didn't even care about eating himself; his gaze and attention were all on Su Muyao, taking care of her as she ate.

She peeled all the shrimp meat and put it into her bowl.

His eyes shone with a gentle, doting light.

In Ye Ying's heart, being able to stay by her side, watching over her and taking care of her would make him very happy.

The more you get to know her, the more you realize how wonderful she is.

If it weren't for the scent of the water-repelling pearl, he probably wouldn't have been able to find her.

He could tell that her appearance had changed; she was more beautiful than before.

Her temperament has also become more refined and otherworldly.

After eating most of the food, Su Muyao finally felt less dizzy and weak, and regained some strength.

"Am I eating a lot?"

She eats so much that it could easily frighten people around her.

"No, this isn't much. I'll go make some more for you."

Nightshade said he was about to go back to the kitchen to cook again.

Su Muyao reached out and grabbed his arm, saying, "No need, there's still some left, this is enough to eat."

Su Muyao continued eating.

The system said, "Host, Nightshade just said that the food on land has been invaded and mutated by darkness. It's estimated that it won't be long before everyone starts fighting over food resources."

"The current fighting and war on the Azure Beast Continent is probably not solely caused by the Spider Beastmen."

Su Muyao said, "Fortunately, we had stored a lot of food in the space before."

After Su Muyao formed a pact with Yun Qinglan, her space was upgraded, allowing her to grow many food crops. The crops grew quickly, and she harvested them time and time again, storing them all away.

Even if food is scarce, Su Muyao will never lack food.

But right now, because she died once and was reborn, the space has deteriorated, and the granaries seem to be sealed off and cannot be used for the time being.

I don't know what kind of opportunity will be needed to reopen it.

After finishing their meal, Ye Ying tidied up without letting Su Muyao lift a finger.

For the next few days, Ye Ying took meticulous care of Su Muyao, cooking for her and preparing her medicine.

After feeling better, Su Muyao decided to go to the Sea Clan.

That night, listening to the sound of the waves, she couldn't sit still.

She got up and went to the room next door. Just as she was about to knock, the door opened from the inside.

"Miss Su, can't you sleep?"

Nightshade knew she had something on her mind.

He could tell, but he thought that if she didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask.

After thinking for a moment, Su Muyao still spoke to him, "Yeying, there's something I feel I can't hide from you."
