Chapter 344: Green Tea Talk
Taking advantage of Yu An being too weak and limp to hit him, Ao Wu let himself run wild.
He could say all sorts of shameless things, but despite all his talk, he was the one who blushed first.
Realizing this, he buried his face to hide his blush from Yu An.
Yu An finally recovered. Grabbing his hair, she asked him where he had learned all that, only to see his beet-red face.
"Oh?" she said with great interest. "Is it too hot in here?"
’He loves to talk big, but he’s the first one to buckle.’
Ao Wu kept a straight face. "Yes, it’s too hot."
"But I don’t think it’s very hot."
Yu An leaned in and whispered one of the lewd things he had just said into his ear.
A shiver ran through Ao Wu, and he immediately...
He prided himself on his stamina and vigor and had never experienced something like this before.
Watching Yu An collapse onto the bed in laughter, clutching her stomach as if it ached from laughing so hard, he blushed and gritted his teeth at the same time.
"Fine, you’re teasing me on purpose, aren’t you?"
Ao Wu got serious, and to cover up his earlier lapse, he lifted Yu An straight into his arms.
"An’an, get your superpower ready."
Ao Wu murmured darkly in her ear, "I’m not stopping, and I’m not going to coddle you."
A bad premonition flashed through Yu An’s mind, and then...
The lights in the master bedroom stayed on all night.
The next day, Yu An left the space and went straight to sleep without saying a single word to Ao Wu.
She had begged him so much last night, but he still wouldn’t stop.
So, for the entire day, no matter how Ao Wu tried to start a conversation, he got no response.
Oh, there was a response. Her response to him was—
"Shut up, don’t disturb my sleep!"
Ao Wu: "..."
’The price of a full meal.’
That evening, as soon as Yu An entered the space, Han Li came over.
"An’an, you must be tired from traveling outside. Dinner is ready. Go eat first, and later you can soak in the hot spring to relax."
"A hot spring?"
Yu An opened her mouth to take the shrimp Han Li was feeding her, asking in confusion, "Is there a hot spring in the space?"
"It’s not exactly a hot spring. Lan Yin, Zaizai, and I dug a pool together. We lined it with White Jade and filled it with warm water mixed with Divine Spring Water."
"I tried it out; it’s very comfortable. I even learned some massage techniques."
Lan Yin, who was holding Ao Wu back, also said, "I gave it a try. Han Li’s massages are pretty good. Very relaxing."
Yu An happily agreed.
There’s no harm without comparison. The gentle and considerate Han Li was so much better than Ao Wu, who had tormented her all last night.
Ao Wu muttered under his breath, "You liked it too. You were biting me and wouldn’t let go..."
Yu An couldn’t stand it anymore and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth to shut him up.
’Have some shame!’
Han Li shed his previous puppy-dog image and instantly transformed into a gentle husband. As Yu An soaked in the pool, he massaged her properly and respectfully.
He didn’t make a single untoward move.
Yu An leaned back into his arms, enjoying it with her eyes closed.
The fatigue in her body had long since vanished. She turned around, pressing on Han Li’s shoulders to change their positions.
They were now face-to-face. Because she was wearing something so thin, her gauze robe was already soaked through.
Han Li’s earlobes turned red, and he shyly averted his gaze. "An’an, I’m not done with the massage yet."
"Let’s stop here," Yu An said, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his chin. "I never knew my A li could be so innocent."
"You don’t even dare to look. That’s not like you."
Han Li was a little bashful. "It’s not that I don’t dare to, An’an. It’s that if I look, I won’t be able to stop myself from thinking about..."
"I’ll allow you to think," Yu An kissed him again. "And I’ll allow you to act on it, okay?"
Han Li’s eyes lit up. "Really?"
"But you’re very tired. I don’t want to make you even more tired."
Yu An detected a hint of "green tea" in his words. She let out a giggle. "Did you have some tea tonight? I can smell a strong ’green tea’ fragrance."
Han Li huffed softly. "Of course not. I’m genuinely worried about you."
"Ao Wu went too far, not letting you sleep all night. You looked so tired this morning. I won’t bother you tonight. You should get a good rest."
’The ’green tea’ act was real, but so was his concern.’
"But I like it too," Yu An leaned in again. "I like what Ao Wu does, and I like what A li does to me."
This time, she planted a kiss on Han Li’s lips.
"I slept all day today. I’m not tired at all."
Han Li asked, "Really?"
"Really," Yu An chuckled softly. "Would I lie to you? Right here?"
Han Li blushed. "Can we?"
’Here?’
He had only ever done it in the bathroom. If they did it here...
Yu An didn’t say a word, using her actions to answer. The water in the pool rippled, and the sound of SPLASHING echoed endlessly.
As she rose and fell in the water, only one thought crossed Yu An’s mind—
’Why are my Beast Husbands all such quick learners?’
This time, Yu An wasn’t so tired she couldn’t open her eyes. She left the next day feeling refreshed and energized.
Before she left, she gave Han Li a goodbye kiss.
Lan Yin got one too, and so did Zaizai. Only Ao Wu was left out.
Ao Wu could only watch. He felt wronged. He was heartbroken. He... After they left the space, he grabbed Yu An in a hug and kissed her several times.
"Alright, alright," Yu An wiped her mouth in mock disgust. "You got drool all over my face."
Ao Wu said resentfully, "An’an, you’re disgusted by me."
Yu An placated him perfunctorily, "Uh-huh, totally disgusted."
Ao Wu: "..."
It was possible to see the outside world from within the space, and the people inside would occasionally take a look.
But since Yu An had been staying in her tent for the past two days, she hadn’t enabled the permission to view the outside.
Just as she was about to have Ao Wu change back to his beast form to continue their journey, Shen Zi suddenly called out to her from inside the space.
Her voice sounded urgent, so Yu An grabbed Ao Wu and entered the space.
"Female Mother, what’s wrong?"
Shen Zi said excitedly, "An’an, can we stop here for a while? Mo Feng and I hid something here. We should find it before we continue on our way."
"Of course," Yu An readily agreed. "Do you remember where you hid it? I’ll take you out."
"I vaguely remember," Shen Zi recalled. "I think it was under a rather peculiar-looking pine tree. We were being chased at the time, so we were in a huge hurry."
"But I left a mark, so we should be able to find it quickly."
Yu An took them out. After looking around the vicinity, they finally found two pine trees that looked similar to the one in Shen Zi’s memory.
After so much time, the area under the pine trees was overgrown with weeds, and the mark Shen Zi had made was completely covered.
She was about to start digging at each one. They hadn’t buried it very deep; it would only take a few shovelfuls.
Yu An stopped Shen Zi. "Let me."
She placed her hand on the tree, and under the influence of her superpower, the tree’s roots began to search around.
Only when they touched the small box Shen Zi had described did Yu An stop and direct Ao Wu to dig down.
In just a few moments, a plain little wooden box was unearthed.
Shen Zi squatted down and picked it up. "This is it. The item inside is what Mo Feng and I took from the Divine Mountain."
"Tian Fu had it in his room and kept it under careful protection. It must be very important."
Yu An was curious. "What is it?"
Shen Zi didn’t keep it a secret and opened it directly. "An’an, take a look. To be honest, we couldn’t make sense of it."
It was a piece of Beast Skin, covered with twisting and turning lines that looked incredibly complex.
Yu An couldn’t understand it either, but she felt that this Beast Skin looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
