Upon hearing these words, Hua Linye’s expression turned tense in an instant.
He couldn’t help but look at Su Muyao.
What does Yun Qinglan mean by this?
Could it be that because the wife saved him, he wants to offer himself in return?
And he said he knows everything about the matter, does he know about the acupuncture done while undressed?
Although doctors are benevolent, regardless of gender.
But for beasts, chastity is also extremely important.
Propose any condition?
Could it be that the wife might want him to become her Beast Husband?
Realizing this, Hua Linye’s heart grew even more bitter.
Indeed, any normal person would choose to have Young Master Yun as their Beast Husband.
Choosing Yun Qinglan as a Beast Husband means having the entire Yun Family as support.
That’s the famous Yun Family with substantial background and reputation!
No condition can compare to this offer.
Xiao Jihan moved the hand placed at his side slightly.
Mei Qingchen let out a self-deprecating laugh.
He used to disdain Su Muyao arrogantly, thinking she would keep to their offer, yet Su Muyao could still marry another excellent Beast Husband.
It’s not exclusive to them!
Su Muyao had no idea of Hua Linye’s thoughts.
She listened to Yun Qinglan, her expression slightly moved.
"Any condition can be?"
Yun Qinglan’s elegant face was as exquisite as jade, his eyes like distant mountains and clear springs, serene and soft, "Yes, any condition can be."
Su Muyao already had an idea in mind, she spoke directly, "Then I want to select one of the best weapons, the finest your Yun Family can offer, and I’d like to choose two storefronts at the best location in the mutual market."
"This is the consultation fee for saving you."
The mutual market, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, a storefront in the best location would cost at least five hundred Silver Crystal Coins.
"And I hope the Yun Family can ensure my safety while I’m in Yunxiao City."
This is the condition Su Muyao had in mind.
Little did she know, her words left everyone astonished.
They were even in disbelief.
They doubted if they had misheard.
Everyone had roughly anticipated what kind of condition she would propose.
Because that was her previous style.
Yun Qinglan, so beautiful, having such identity and ability, needing to rely on her to regain health.
If she wanted Yun Qinglan to be her Beast Husband, Yun Qinglan would definitely not refuse.
Nor would the Yun Family refuse.
But how did she propose such a simple condition, this is the simplest matter!
To the Yun Family, this is trivial.
Yun Qinglan’s expression shifted slightly, his gaze moved like moonlight falling into the deep pool, rippling gently, almost imperceptible.
"Miss Su, are you sure?"
"Yes!"
Su Muyao’s expression was earnest and resolute.
"What you propose is trivial to the Yun Family."
Su Muyao’s eyes held a gleam of determination and resilience, "Trivial to the Yun Family, but it’s sufficient for me."
This is her consultation fee, deserved and taken with a clear conscience.
Anything else, any exorbitant request, exceeded the scope of the consultation fee.
Of course, Su Muyao had never considered having someone become her Beast Husband.
Those around her, she couldn’t treat them equally, they might fight at any moment, causing her headaches, naturally she wouldn’t think in that direction.
She didn’t know Hua Linye had just developed misunderstandings.
Yun Qinglan said, "Alright."
"Miss Su, follow me to choose a weapon first!"
The attendant pushed Yun Qinglan’s wheelchair, and Su Muyao followed along.
At this moment, Wen Nanxi also emerged, having heard the previous conversation.
Wen Nanxi and others stayed close to Su Muyao.
Upon reaching the Yun Family’s weapon warehouse, Yun Qinglan and Su Muyao entered, while Wen Nanxi and others remained outside to guard.
Wen Nanxi knew the Yun Family wouldn’t harm Su Muyao, so he waited outside with peace of mind.
Moreover, according to the rules, they were not allowed to enter the Yun Family’s warehouse.
Mei Qingchen looked at Wen Nanxi, whose expression wasn’t quite good, and said, "Why do you think the wife insists on getting a weapon?"
"What weapon could be better than the dagger I gave her earlier?"
"That’s an ancient mechanism Magic Artifact, most suitable for self-defense."
Wen Nanxi felt a pang in his heart, as if pricked by a needle.
"Because two days ago, the wife faced an assassination attempt and didn’t have a handy weapon."
"Besides, she doesn’t want to accept your things, she wants to earn what belongs to her own through her own efforts."
"Not someone’s gift, not someone’s charity, but something truly of her own."
In these days, he understood the resolve in her heart.
Exactly because he understood, this feeling later struck him with a suffocating, painful sensation that filled his heart.
Mei Qingchen pondered, eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Doesn’t that mean she doesn’t see us as Beast Husbands, so she doesn’t consider our things as hers?"
Normally, when a beast marries a she-beast, everything of the Beast Husband also belongs to the she-beast.
She-beasts would naturally accept the care, feeding, and protection from the Beast Husband.
However, their relationship with Su Muyao is quite complicated.
Not exactly like a Beast Husband and wife.
Nominal but not real, the Red Sand marks on their arms remained.
Hua Linye lamented, "It’s all because we didn’t treat the wife well before, causing her to misunderstand us."
"It’s normal for her not to trust us now."
"Someday, I will make sure the wife trusts me."
He would go back and learn from Shi Sen and the others next door how to be a Beast Husband who the wife likes and trusts.
Xiao Jihan glanced at the sky, his clear eyes showing traces of thawing frost.
He thought, he probably didn’t want to leave anymore.
He knew that once he left, he would lose her completely, never to return.
So, he couldn’t make such a mistake.
...
Yun Qinglan led Su Muyao into the weapon warehouse.
There were three floors in total.
Each floor had machinations.
Yun Qinglan stood up from the chair, coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Miss Su, please follow me!"
"The weapons on the third floor are the best."
"Miss Su, be careful, there are machinations here, every step counts."
Seeing him stand up, seemingly a bit unsteady, Su Muyao couldn’t help but ask, "How’s your leg?"
She knew he was weak, his body sometimes powerless, hence always seated.
Yun Qinglan’s tone was serene and gentle, "Thanks to Miss Su, it’s much better."
"I’ve never felt so light and strong before."
"So walking now is fine."
Yun Qinglan led Su Muyao to the third floor.
On the walls of the third floor hung various weapons, all Magic Artifacts.
At this moment, Su Muyao’s expression showed surprise.
By seeing this, one could understand how substantial the Yun Family’s background was.
Outside, even one would be highly sought after, yet the warehouse held so many Magic Artifact weapons.
"Miss Su can choose more weapons for self-defense."
Su Muyao regained her composure and said, "No need, I’ll choose just one."
"Quality over quantity, a weapon that can protect oneself is enough."
She wished to select a truly handy weapon for self-defense.
Yun Qinglan listened to her words, observing her determined expression, he knew she held firm convictions.
His elegant eyebrows moved slightly, like still water in a river, "Miss Su’s disposition is rare!"
