Chapter 9 Protect her

Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye remembered all of Su Muyao's habits.

She grew up in Beast King City and was the apple of the Su family's eye. She was of noble status and sought after by many. She loved cleanliness from a young age.

I need to boil water to take a bath every day.

As for them, they would wash in the river every day when they went out.

After the animal body was washed, it dried quickly in the sun.

The two people were boiling water inside the house, while Wen Nanxi was peeling sweet potatoes in the yard.

After peeling them, he went inside to get a knife and planned to cut them into small pieces.

He looked at Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye inside the room and said, "Today it's my turn to take care of my wife."

The three of them took turns scheduling.

Hua Linye said somewhat awkwardly, "We ate the food she made, so we should do something."

Otherwise, something's not right with them.

Xiao Jihan said, "That is how it should be."

No matter what, Su Muyao is nominally their wife.

It's not good if the wife is busy doing things while they are idle.

Wen Nanxi explained, "We dug up a lot of sweet potatoes today, and my wife wants to cut them all into small pieces."

Hua Linye said, "Let's help each other; it'll be faster that way."

Xiao Jihan also looked at Wen Nanxi, as if he wanted to help.

Wen Nanxi nodded, and the three of them worked together quickly.

Place some of the chopped sweet potatoes into a pot of water.

Start boiling over high heat.

After the food was cooked until soft and tender, Su Muyao washed herself and went into the house.

She saw Wen Nanxi cooking sweet potatoes, while Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye mashed the sweet potato slices into sweet potato puree.

They have superpowers, so they do these things very quickly.

Su Muyao was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that these two people, despite their dislike for her, would still do their work.

Just get to work.

Su Muyao's eyebrows twitched, and she walked to the pot and said to Wen Nanxi, "This is fine. Scoop these out and filter them first."

As she spoke, Su Muyao went to find a clean gauze and a large wooden tub.

Following Su Muyao's instructions, Wen Nanxi scooped everything out and poured it in.

"It's a bit hot now. Let it cool down a bit before you can squeeze this gauze."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Jihan flicked his finger, and a chill enveloped the wooden bucket and gauze.

The temperature dropped immediately.

Su Muyao was stunned when she saw this scene.

She turned her head and looked at Xiao Jihan with bright, piercing eyes.

She almost forgot that Xiao Jihan's special ability was ice-based.

This is a natural refrigerator!

She wanted Xiao Jihan to help her build an ice cellar so she could store food.

But she felt that Xiao Jihan might refuse, so she held back and didn't say anything.

She turned her head away.

Xiao Jihan was momentarily stunned by her bright eyes, and thought she was about to say something.

But after she hesitated, her eyes dimmed, and she turned her head away.

Xiao Jihan frowned slightly, his usually cold brows furrowing as he lowered his voice and asked, "Does my wife need me to do anything?"

Su Muyao was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Jihan to ask her this question.

His voice remained clear and cool, carrying a chilling aura, but it didn't seem to carry a biting coldness.

She's a little different from when she first transmigrated yesterday.

Su Muyao turned her head and looked at Xiao Jihan with a questioning gaze, confirming that his eyes were calm and there was no extra emotion in them.

He then asked, "Could you help me dig an ice cellar in that corner of the yard?"

"This way I can use it to store these meats, so the food won't spoil easily."

"Otherwise, if we can't finish it, it will all go to waste."

Having developed a habit during the apocalypse, she dislikes wasting food.

Upon hearing these words, not only did Xiao Jihan's expression change, but Hua Linye was also surprised.

Isn't she the one who loves wasting food the most?
They complained that the food from the next day wasn't fresh and didn't taste right.

When the weather is hot, food is eaten on the same day, and any leftovers are thrown away.

Xiao Jihan composed himself and said in a low voice, "Alright."

Then, Xiao Jihan went straight to the courtyard to build an ice cellar. Su Muyao hadn't expected him to be so efficient.

Hua Linye seemed unwilling to be outdone, and directly used his supernatural ability to set the firewood on fire.

He possesses fire-based superpowers.

This ability is really useful; it's especially helpful in winter.

Of course, you don't need to start a fire when burning firewood.

Su Muyao's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.

They were somewhat satisfied when they looked at Hua Linye.

Hua Linye looked at Su Muyao's expression and realized that her gaze was only on his fire-type ability, and she didn't even glance at him.

But it's fine if you like fire-based abilities.

Su Muyao taught Wen Nanxi how to filter the sweet potato juice before continuing to boil it in a pot.

Hua Linye asked, "My lady, what should we do next?"

He had already painstakingly ground the peeled and diced sweet potatoes into a paste.

Su Muyao explained, "First, wash it, then filter it, and then squeeze out the starch water..."

Su Muyao guided Hua Linye through these steps.

"Let this starch water sit in the vat. Tomorrow morning, the starch will settle to the bottom. Then pour out the water, keep the starch, add water, and filter it again. That way, the starch will be finer..."

After the starch has been left to stand twice, it can be placed in a gauze bag and dried in a ventilated place.

Based on the estimated time, the sweet potato starch should be ready by tomorrow night.

Maybe I can make sweet potato vermicelli tomorrow night.

After she had finished all the work, Su Muyao took a bath with the boiled water.

Fortunately, the original body was clean, so these beastmen specially built a bathing room for it.

There is also a bathing pool made of stones.

Su Muyao had just finished showering and getting dressed and was about to come out when she heard a noise outside.

Su Muyao's expression changed, and she hurriedly came out of the house.

Upon arriving at the entrance, they saw many monsters emerging from outside.

The male orcs in the tribe are all fighting.

Is this a mutant beast?
Su Muyao's pupils contracted when she saw the mutated beast.

It was even stranger than the mutated beasts I had seen during the day.

Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan are also dealing with them.

They are incredibly fast, and their supernatural abilities can be transformed into various weapons.

"careful!"

Xiao Jihan moved swiftly, and an ice blade formed from his ice-type ability pierced directly through the head of one of the mutated beasts.

And just now, this mutated beast was about to attack her.

The blood that flowed from them was an eerie black.

Xiao Jihan directly used his ice-type ability to freeze the black blood of the mutated beast.

Otherwise, the black blood flowing out would frighten her.

These mutated beasts seemed to be attacking her.

Hua Linye's fire-based supernatural ability can also directly burn these mutated beasts.

"Jie Jie..."

The cries of these mutated beasts were all eerie and terrifying.

It also had a sharp whistling sound.

Wen Nanxi moved with incredible speed, seemingly able to teleport, killing one mutated beast after another.

Soon, the tribe's male orcs worked together to kill all the mutated beasts.

Wen Nanxi rushed to Su Muyao's side and looked at her carefully, asking, "Is my wife alright?"

Wen Nanxi was worried that she would be frightened.

But Su Muyao remained calm and showed no signs of being frightened.

Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye looked at her calm demeanor, their expressions shifting.

Previously, she would hide inside the house in fear whenever she heard the sound of a mutated beast.

If she sees a mutated beast, she will be terrified and will only tremble and try to avoid it.

So they didn't expect her to come out.

Su Muyao was only startled, not scared. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

She just suddenly realized that she really needed their protection until she regained her strength.

But she had promised a three-month period, so she had to improve her strength quickly.
