Chapter 11

Chu Ning touched the tiger’s head and felt that the demonic energy inside the white tiger had decreased slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief.

“Next, continue taking the Demon Expelling Pills for another month. When the demonic energy in your body dissipates more, I will help you detoxify.”

Qin Zheng was surprised, his tiger eyes gazing at Chu Ning.

What kind of person is my wife? She has a pill that can suppress the violent factors and lower the aggression, and she is confident she can help me detoxify.

This is something that Gu Ming and all the doctors and pharmacists from the Federation couldn’t solve, yet my wife can?

Chu Ning saw the white tiger’s appearance and once again reached out to pat its head.

“Ah Hu, it’s so good to see you again.” She said, pressing her head against it.

Qin Zheng froze for a moment, finally realizing that Chu Ning had mistaken the tiger for someone else.

My wife actually has a favorite tiger beastman, and its beast form looks very much like mine.

As she enjoyed her wife’s closeness, Qin Zheng couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. He even had the idea of pretending to be that tiger beastman to stay by his wife’s side.

But after a moment, he dismissed the thought.

It was an accident earlier. If it continued, it would have been deceit.

He couldn’t deceive his wife.

At that thought, Qin Zheng moved his head, pushing Chu Ning away.

Then, standing up under her confused gaze, he noticed something strange.

Chu Ning was about to ask what was going on, but before she could, the white tiger suddenly changed shape.

The white tiger had turned into a tall and handsome beastman.

“Ah Hu, you—” Chu Ning was taken aback, thinking it was her mount transforming.

But soon, she realized something was off.

“You’re not Ah Hu—”

“Xiaojie, I’m Qin Zheng.” Qin Zheng said, slightly awkward, avoiding her gaze.

Xiaojie?

Chu Ning’s mind went blank for a moment.

She quickly brought up her holographic display and checked the previous messages.

She saw the profiles of her three beast husbands, and one of them was indeed named Qin Zheng.

“I—I was waiting outside earlier, but my violent factors suddenly flared up, so I came in.”

“Thank you, Xiaojie, for helping me earlier.”

Chu Ning looked at Qin Zheng and noticed the beastman was tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, very handsome.

This person, he’s my companion?

“Why didn’t you contact me beforehand?” Forcing herself to look away, Chu Ning asked.

Qin Zheng’s name sounded quite familiar.

“I…. forgot.” Not really forgetting, he had wanted to give Xiaojie a surprise.

Who knew the surprise would almost turn into a shock?

“Have you eaten yet?” Since they were already married, and the world favored females, Chu Ning remained calm.

“Not yet.” Qin Zheng’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s heart ached.

The ingredients she bought weren’t cheap.

“Can you cook?” But she didn’t show it, instead asking him calmly.

“I can.” Qin Zheng immediately replied.

Cooking was a basic skill for every beastman, and even though he was a general, he had learned it.

Chu Ning sighed in relief.

“I bought some vegetables and spices. Can you cook?” She said, heading toward the kitchen.

She had used the Sutra Ring earlier, so there was no need to hide it.

Besides, he was her beast husband—he was family.

Qin Zheng’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly followed her into the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, Chu Ning took out the ingredients she bought and handed them to Qin Zheng to prepare.

“Do you need help?” She asked.

Given her current situation, it wasn’t appropriate for her to refine pills. She figured it was better to wait for the meal.

Qin Zheng’s heart warmed, feeling that his wife truly cared for him.

“No need. Xiaojie, you can rest, I’ll call you when the food is ready.”

“Alright.” Since he said so, Chu Ning agreed and returned to the bedroom.

Back in the room, while she listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen, she pulled up her holographic display to check the profiles of her beast husbands.

Qin Zheng, 28 years old, dual S-rank beastman, military rank.

Xiao Ye, 25 years old, B-rank beastman, military rank.

Gu Ming, 22 years old, A-rank beastman, doctor.

Two of her husbands were military soldiers, and the last one was a doctor.

Chu Ning’s gaze shifted to the door.

Qin Zheng’s combat strength was dual S-rank, comparable to the Ascension Realm in the cultivation world. Such strength didn’t seem like the power of an ordinary person…

She returned her gaze to the display, opening the friend request list and noticing that Qin Zheng, Xiao Ye, and Gu Ming had all sent her friend requests.

Chu Ning accepted them.

Immediately, Xiao Ye sent her a message.

“Xiaojie, I’ve been feeling unwell recently and can’t go out, so I won’t be able to meet you. After some time, I’ll come find you. As an apology, I’ve sent you a small red envelope. Feel free to buy whatever gift you like.”

A transfer notification appeared below the message.

“The other party has transferred 100,000 star coins to you.”

Chu Ning was stunned.

She double-checked the amount, confirming it was indeed 100,000.

After confirming the transfer, Chu Ning felt a surge of excitement. She held back her urge to accept the payment immediately.

“Thank you.”

“Please take care of your health and rest more.” She sent a couple more texts before accepting the money.

100,000 star coins! With this, she could get through the toughest times ahead.

Xiao Ye, seeing Chu Ning’s response, couldn’t help but smile.

100,000 star coins. This could be considered a timely gift for Xiaojie.

After reading Xiao Ye’s message, Chu Ning opened Gu Ming’s.

“The marriage thing was a misunderstanding. I’ll settle things at home and come to find you as soon as I can.”

Chu Ning was taken aback. She hadn’t expected such a blunt message from him.

However, considering he hadn’t voluntarily participated in the marriage arrangement, it made sense that he’d find it difficult to accept a second wife.

Thus, Chu Ning replied.

“Alright, once you’re done, I can cooperate with you to handle the divorce.”

She wasn’t the type to force anyone.

Before she transmigrated into this world, she hadn’t thought about finding a companion.

Coming here, following the local customs, she had participated in the marriage matching system.

If the match wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t force it. If things didn’t work out, she could always switch later.

Gu Ming, upon seeing her response, snorted.

“What do you mean? Are you rejecting me?!”

He raised his hand, wanting to type a reply, but then stopped himself.

It seemed that what he had said earlier wasn’t very polite either.

Forget it, he’d deal with his family situation first.

After replying, Chu Ning checked her account balance.

Seeing the 100,000 star coins, her eyes couldn’t help but light up, and her impression of Xiao Ye improved.

With the money, Chu Ning couldn’t resist browsing the herbal stores.

Comparing the prices of the herbs, she realized that the prices at Chengxin Pharmacy were the most reasonable.

Though not every herb was the cheapest, if they offered a 10% discount, buying from Chengxin Pharmacy was definitely more cost-effective.

Suddenly, she thought of something and searched online for information on opening a store.

After seeing the conditions for opening a business, she frowned.
