【Host, host! This is your second beast husband, the fox beast Xue Xi!】
Xi Qingqing looked at the fox in front of her, who seemed a little confused. When she didn’t respond, he rubbed his claws on the ground and changed into human form.
The man had short silver hair and a natural smile on his lips. He looked charming and carefree.
In the apocalypse, Xi Qingqing had only seen dirty and messy people. This was the first time she saw a man so clean, handsome, and striking.
She felt curious. Another handsome man—are all men in this world this good-looking?
She said, “You are my man. How could I attack my own person?”
The system replied: 【Host, isn’t it because you couldn’t beat him?】
Xi Qingqing ignored it.
Xue Xi paused, then bit his lip. “After going to prison, your words have become sweeter.”
“Why did you force Mo Fuqing? Don’t you like Shen Feng?”
Xue Xi looked ashamed. “We can support you, but we won’t be someone else’s replacement!”
She had only said one sentence, but he had many waiting.
Xi Qingqing searched her memory. Shen Feng was her childhood friend. He was the empire’s first phoenix. She had no beast core, and he was born sick, so they relied on each other when they were young.
Later, for Xi Yuanyuan, he accused her of hurting him and sent her to prison.
“A person’s heart can be completely broken,” Xi Qingqing said. “The day I entered prison, I stopped liking him.”
Xue Xi looked at her with doubt. He didn’t believe her.
Xi Qingqing realized he was quite simple-minded and was actually thinking seriously about whether to trust her.
She thought for a moment. “You stayed by my side all these years and never left. I remember your kindness. If you want a divorce, I agree.”
Her eyes fell on Xue Xi. She suddenly froze—he was holding Mo Fuqing in his arms.
Mo Fuqing had woken up and was looking at her with his snake head raised.
This was bad. In the original memory, Xue Xi was strong but not very smart. She had planned to retreat to move forward.
But Mo Fuqing was different. As a snake, he was naturally intelligent.
“Really?” Xue Xi didn’t expect her to suggest divorce first.
Xi Qingqing kept smiling and nodded.
Xue Xi began to think. Over the years, she had ignored him. The only time she remembered him was when she wanted to skin him to make a scarf for Shen Feng.
If Xi Yuanyuan hadn’t warned him—and if Xi Qingqing hadn’t gone to prison soon after—he might have already lost his fur.
But this was the first time she treated him kindly. Xue Xi started to hesitate.
Mo Fuqing slipped down from his arms, ignored Xi Qingqing, and left the house.
Voices could be heard outside. Xue Xi stopped thinking and followed him out.
Xi Qingqing sighed in relief. Rebuilding her beast core used too much mental energy. Before it fully recovered, she needed to adjust to everything here.
She followed Xue Xi outside and saw a red-haired man carrying a wild boar into the house.
Bang!
He threw the boar onto the ground.
【Ta-da! Host! This is your third beast husband, Jiang Fei! Don’t you like cats? He’s from the cat family~】
At that moment, Jiang Fei looked up.
Xi Qingqing saw his black eyes glance at her coldly, then look away.
“Come eat,” he said coldly.
Xi Qingqing swallowed her saliva.
She walked closer and saw half his body covered in boar blood. His upper body was bare, and his chest was full of scars.
After she was sent to prison, her three beast husbands were also exiled.
Mo Fuqing used his brain, and Xue Xi used charm skills, so only Jiang Fei went out hunting.
He was already strong, and now he had trained even more… she counted—eight-pack abs.
Very good body.
Jiang Fei noticed her staring and sneered. “If you dare think about me, you’ll starve.”
Then he tore off a leg of the boar. Blood splashed everywhere, but he didn’t care. He bit into the meat and ate it raw.
But Xi Qingqing wasn’t scared. In the apocalypse, when she was starving, she had eaten raw meat—and even her own flesh.
Her power was healing. She had even eaten part of her arm and then healed it back.
This was nothing to her.
She looked around for the other two, but they were gone.
Jiang Fei was surprised she didn’t react. Before, if he tried to scare her, she would scream and run away.
Did prison make female beasts braver?
When he came closer on purpose, she stepped back. “If you eat like that, there will be bacteria.”
Jiang Fei frowned. Seeing her step back made him angry.
After going to prison, she now looked down on him?
He said roughly, “Is that your business?”
He didn’t like Xi Qingqing at all!
If he hadn’t been taken to the palace as a child and forced to marry her, he wouldn’t serve her.
Seeing him walk away angrily with the meat, Xi Qingqing sighed. Since they could cook food, why suffer like this?
She turned to find tools to cook.
On the way, she saw Jiang Fei sitting in the chicken coop, eating meat while baring his teeth to scare her away.
She didn’t know why he stayed there, but he was too handsome. The more expressive he looked, the more attractive he was. She couldn’t help but walk around him a few times on purpose.
She found a simple stove in the grass. There was an iron pot and a wooden bucket with half a bucket of water.
Nothing else. Not even salt.
She suddenly remembered her storage space.
“System, did my space come with me?” she asked.
She had saved supplies for years. They couldn’t just disappear because she died.
【Yes, it came with you. You can enter it using your spiritual power.】
Good.
She used her power and entered the familiar space.
There was no time flow inside, so everything stayed fresh.
But she had lived through the apocalypse for many years. All the ready-to-eat food was gone.
Only things like salt, seasoning, soy sauce, some weapons, and medicine were left.
Seeing these felt like seeing family. She almost wanted to roll in them.
But her stomach growled.
She took some salt and came out.
Looking at the large boar, she needed help to cut it. But her mental energy was low because she was rebuilding her beast core.
She thought about asking her husbands for help.
Jiang Fei clearly didn’t want to deal with her, so she asked the system:
“Didn’t you say I have five husbands? Where are the other two?”
【The original owner drove them away. They are not here, but the marriage is still valid.】
Xi Qingqing: “…”
So she couldn’t rely on them for now.
Then she would go find Xue Xi.
He was easier to deal with.
She looked around. The grass was tall, and beyond it were deep green mountains. Although this was an exile area, Mo Fuqing had chosen it carefully, so pollution was low.
As long as she didn’t go too far, it should be safe.
Soon, she found Xue Xi and Mo Fuqing by the river.
Through the tall grass, she saw Mo Fuqing in his snake form, rolling in the water.
Xue Xi squatted by the river, still asking:
“Do you think she’s being sincere?”
