Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 362 - 361: Jing Chu

Although the Little Snake Beastman’s voice was weak and frail, Su Muyao still heard it, feeling somewhat surprised, almost doubting if she had heard wrong.

The Little Snake Beastman weakly said, "Mm."

His whimpering sound was so heartbreaking that Su Muyao couldn’t help but feel a twinge in her chest.

The Little Snake Beastman wanted to get up, but his injuries were too severe, rendering him immobile.

Su Muyao tried to approach him, placing her hand on his body. Although her fingers were transparent, she managed to exert some Wood Element Ability.

The effects on the Little Snake Beastman’s body were very faint.

Despite being very faint, his injuries recovered a little.

He had the strength to get up.

Su Muyao excitedly said, "It works."

The Little Snake Beastman sat up, his hair dangling, allowing Su Muyao to finally see his clear and cold eyes resembling glazed porcelain.

The moment she saw those eyes, Su Muyao was momentarily stunned.

Her Heart String trembled violently.

The system sensed Su Muyao’s mental state was not quite right and asked, "Host, what’s wrong with you?"

Su Muyao absentmindedly said, "System, don’t you think his eyes feel very familiar?"

Su Muyao wanted to see his appearance clearly, but his hair obscured his face, revealing only one eye.

She even wanted to reach out and tidy his hair for him, but unfortunately, her hand went right through him as if it were transparent, unable to touch him.

The system initially didn’t think much, but upon closer inspection of the exposed eye of the Little Snake Beastman, it exclaimed in surprise, "No way, it looks like Wen Nanxi’s eyes. I must be seeing things."

"Could it be Wen Nanxi’s ancestor?"

"That can’t be right, they’re both Snake Beastmen, maybe they just look similar."

"Right, Wen Nanxi’s true form is the Ancient Celestial Snake. The Ancient Celestial Snake was a Snake Beastman from ancient times, extinct for over a hundred thousand years. Now we’re more than a hundred thousand years in the past; this Snake Beastman could be the Ancient Celestial Snake."

Su Muyao looked at his eyes, feeling they especially resembled Wen Nanxi’s, her heart softening completely.

She strived to infuse Wood Element Ability into his body.

Even if she could only infuse a little, she tried her best.

"Do you feel better now?"

The Little Snake Beastman’s gaze was cold and vigilant, yet as he felt his injuries healing and his pain being soothed, his expression turned puzzled and confused.

He seemed not to understand why someone would help heal him, a Cold-blooded Snake Beastman despised by all Beastmen?

Though he didn’t know what kind of ghost or spirit she was, she had indeed helped him.

The Little Snake Beastman spoke, "Mm, much better."

"Did you save me because you want to get something from me, or want me to do something for you?"

Even though he looked about seven or eight years old, he spoke like an adult.

Su Muyao felt a surge of bitterness in her heart for some unknown reason, not knowing how to explain, she could only softly say, "I just simply want to help you."

The Little Snake Beastman’s eyes were cold, as if disbelieving Su Muyao’s words, "You saved me, do you want my blood, my snake meat, or my inner core?"

"But I’m still young, I don’t have an inner core yet."

Su Muyao opened her mouth, even more at a loss for words, as she tried to take out a candy from her space and handed it to the Little Snake Beastman, "Here, this is for you."

"Poison?"

The system sighed helplessly, "He probably experienced something from a young age, unable to believe someone would treat him kindly, always harboring malice towards others’ intentions."

"Poor thing, no wonder his resentment is so intense."

Su Muyao patiently explained, "No, it’s candy, it’s sweet, you should try it."

The Little Snake Beastman was bewildered, "Candy?"

He had never tasted candy.

"Try it, I won’t harm you. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have just saved you..."

Su Muyao continuously encouraged him and explained, ultimately making him accept the candy.

The Little Snake Beastman put it in his mouth.

In that instant, a sweet taste flooded his senses.

This feeling was unfamiliar to the Little Snake Beastman.

So this was the taste of sweetness.

"How is it? Does it taste good?"

The Little Snake Beastman’s gaze was no longer as cold. He followed the sound in Su Muyao’s direction, "Are you a mountain monster?"

"No, I’m a Beastman too; I’m just in a special circumstance and can’t reveal myself, but I’m happy you can hear me speaking."

"Little Snake, what’s your name?"

The Little Snake Beastman said, "I don’t have a name."

Su Muyao felt even more heartache for him, especially looking at his small and skinny form, unable to resist wanting to care for him.

"How about I give you a name, okay?"

The Little Snake Beastman was stunned, in disbelief, "You... You’re willing to give me a name?"

"They all hate Cold-blooded Snake Beastmen; do you not hate me?"

To the Little Snake Beastman, getting named was an extremely significant matter. No one was willing to approach him or be close, let alone name him.

His mother, brothers, and sisters didn’t like him; more accurately, they hated him, wishing he would die.

If he wasn’t useful, they wouldn’t keep him.

Many times he nearly died, but perhaps his own fate was strong enough to persist and survive.

He didn’t even know why he was alive; no one wanted him to live.

He only remembered his father telling him to live well before dying, so he couldn’t let himself die easily.

He was exchanged for his father’s life.

Su Muyao could feel his current low mood.

Su Muyao hurriedly comforted him, "You’re so good-looking, so cute, so intelligent; of course, I don’t dislike you."

"What Cold-blooded Snake Beastman, that’s their imposed title on you. Just because they say you’re cold-blooded doesn’t mean you are."

"If they want to impose guilt, they don’t need an excuse."

"Oh, I remember now, I’ll call you Jing Chu, is it okay?"

"Jing Chu Qi Dan, the sun rises in the east, signifies the dawn and implies new life and hope. I hope you can live brightly and happily in the future."

"If you don’t like it, I’ll change it."

The Little Snake Beastman earnestly said, "No, I like it very much, thank you."

When he said the words "thank you," his voice was slightly awkward.

After a pause, he asked, "Are you in some kind of trouble? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No need, just keep me company by talking usually, I don’t know anyone else here except you."

"Take me wherever you go, otherwise, I’ll get lost."

She truly wasn’t familiar with this place at all.

"Okay."

This time, the system exclaimed, "Host, I just sensed the resentment in this Resentment World just decreased a little, proving that interacting with him kindly is effective."

Su Muyao didn’t speak. Initially, she did it for the task; now she genuinely wanted to be kind to him.

...

When Jing Chu’s health improved a bit, Su Muyao then left the original spot with him.

There was quite a bit of blood in that area, possibly attracting many wild beasts.

They went to a place upstream, finding a cave, and Jing Chu picked lots of wild fruits.

At nightfall, Su Muyao took out a lighter and ignited a small flame.

This startled Jing Chu.

"What’s wrong? I’m sorry, I forgot you’re afraid of fire."

Su Muyao quickly extinguished the fire.

Jing Chu’s eyes reflected a ghostly green hue, flickering in the darkness.

"If you’re scared, I won’t light the fire."

Only then did Jing Chu speak, "Are you from the Sun Bird Beast Tribe? Only the Sun Bird Beast Tribe has the ability to light the Fire."

"If other tribes need the Fire, they can only request it from the Sun Bird Beast Tribe."
