Chapter 943 - 718: Little Snake’s Transformation
Wu Wei couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart the moment she heard the voice, her face showing a complex expression.
Lu Xiao had always seemed gentle and polite, perfect in her eyes, different from all the males she had encountered growing up. But now, hearing the suppressed voice from within, he seemed like a completely different person.
After hesitating for a moment, she stepped inside.
...
Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber.
Lu Xiao felt like countless sharp needles were piercing through his bones; his forehead veins bulged, and his complexion was so pale it was almost drained of blood, cold sweat soaking his clothes.
He bit his mouth hard, but the sensation was like a thousand needles corroding his bones, not diminishing at all, instead becoming more intense each time.
Even more fearsome to him was the intense craving that was surfacing within his body.
—He yearned for an injection of "Return Nest."
This craving was instinctual, uncontrollable, spreading in his heart like wild grass, eroding the reason he thought was unbreakable.
He originally believed he could withstand it.
But under the extreme madness of craving and pain, reason seemed to become precarious, teetering.
This was the power of "Return Nest."
No wonder Mo Yan could use it to reign over the entire Sky City.
Suddenly, Lu Xiao heard footsteps at the door, forcibly regaining his composure, looked up and saw it was the Big Boss’s daughter, Wu Wei.
He leaned against the wall, struggling to stand up, his voice extremely hoarse, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Wei looked at the man before her.
His face remained handsome and profound, his stature tall and erect, especially his golden body, like a mythological Divine Bird, stronger and more beautiful than any male she had seen, capable of captivating her at first sight.
But at this moment, the man’s condition was very poor.
Even his usually meticulous clothes were messily covered in dust, and the deep, peaceful gaze was now filled with crimson, revealing a hidden, crazed beastly nature.
Wu Wei had never seen him so disheveled, her emotions somewhat complex; she had always regarded Lu Xiao as the epitome of perfection, like the clear, tranquil moon, but she’d overlooked he was just flesh and blood, merely a Beastman.
Under the torment of "Return Nest," the pain he endured was no different from others.
However, Wu Wei was not one to be merciful.
Growing up amidst the intrigue and power struggles of Sky City, influenced by her father, she felt no pity for others.
Moreover, when Mo Yan proposed that Xiao take "Return Nest," she was the first to agree.
As long as Xiao took "Return Nest," she could force him to marry her, not worrying about betrayal or a future stab in the back.
She looked at him with pity, "Xiao, I’ve heard about today’s incident. You killed the Second Boss, and must face punishment. Father spared your life, already showing mercy."
She paused and continued, "Judging by your state, it should be painful."
Lu Xiao looked at her expressionlessly, with vigilance in his eyes.
"Don’t look at me like that, you know my intentions, naturally, I want to help you."
Wu Wei spoke as she slowly approached him, "As long as you agree to marry me, I will have father give you ’Return Nest,’ so you won’t have to endure this pain anymore."
At this moment, Wu Wei’s voice seemed to carry a deadly allure, stirring the strong desire he forcibly suppressed.
Lu Xiao’s breathing grew heavier, but what appeared in his mind was that tender and captivating figure, filled with affection and longing.
Just thinking about her seemed to alleviate the pain in his body.
He could not betray her.
"Thank you for your favor, Miss, but as I’ve said, I won’t marry you." Even in such a tormented state, his tone remained gentle and calm, maintaining dignity, and still refused her.
Wu Wei showed a look of disbelief; she had never seen anyone resist the power of "Return Nest" in all her years.
No matter how powerful the Beastman, once they’ve taken "Return Nest," they can only bow down.
If it were someone else, Wu Wei might even admire him.
