Chapter 844 - 832: Poisonous Temptation
Su Muyao focused and said, "Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t let them take me."
Su Muyao knew what Xiao Jihan was worried about, and she reassured him.
In her bones, she was indeed the fiercest.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Jihan’s face turned even paler. He frantically grabbed Su Muyao’s hand, "No, you can’t."
"You must live well and absolutely nothing should happen to you."
Even if he died, he wouldn’t let anything happen to his wife.
"I’m just afraid that alone I can’t protect you."
He thought, he must find her a stronger beast husband to guard her.
His strength was severely suppressed here.
But he couldn’t bring himself to say such things; just the thought of it made his heart ache terribly.
It was as if countless needles were stabbing into his heart.
Su Muyao was activating her Wood Element Ability to heal Xiao Jihan’s injuries but suddenly met Xiao Jihan’s reddened eyes. They were filled with anguish, helpless love, and many complex emotions.
His body was even trembling slightly.
Seeing such a gaze, Su Muyao suddenly realized something.
She couldn’t believe it and trembled with gritted teeth, "You... you want to find someone to protect me together with you?"
At this moment, Xiao Jihan didn’t dare to look into Su Muyao’s eyes, his chest hurting so much it was almost impossible to breathe.
"Wife master, as long as you’re okay, I’ll do anything."
Su Muyao lowered her head and actively kissed his cheek, "Let’s go find Hua Linye and the others, maybe we can find them."
Su Muyao loved Xiao Jihan and the others, having experienced so much together, their feelings had long become deeply ingrained in their hearts. She felt it hard to accept any other male beastmen.
Yet she also didn’t want anything to happen to Xiao Jihan.
She was truly afraid something might happen to him.
"Let’s rest here for the night and set out again tomorrow."
Xiao Jihan had exhausted himself in the recent battle and had been traveling without rest, carrying them all the way. His body couldn’t bear anymore.
It was necessary to rest.
Su Muyao used her Wood Element Ability to heal Xiao Jihan’s injuries.
Su Muyao nearly exhausted her Wood Element Ability, her body somewhat weak, her complexion turning even paler.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Jihan quickly stopped her, "Wife master, stop now, my injuries are already healed."
Xiao Jihan held onto Su Muyao’s hand, preventing her from continuing to use her Wood Element Ability.
Luckily, Xiao Jihan’s injuries had already healed.
But likely due to expending too much of his Ice Element Ability and using Blood Power, Xiao Jihan was also greatly fatigued, with exhaustion evident between his eyebrows.
So they decided to rest for the night.
Primarily, Xiao Jihan felt sorry for Su Muyao and wanted her to have a good rest.
Xiao Jihan used his Ice Ability to handle the eagle beastman corpses outside the cave and erased the traces.
In the raging wind and snow, Xiao Jihan cared for Su Muyao, helping her with meals and cleaning.
After both had bathed, Xiao Jihan naturally transformed into his beast form so Su Muyao could hold him while sleeping, making it warmer.
At this time, Xiao Jihan couldn’t help but wish Hua Linye were here.
Hua Linye naturally had Fire Element Ability, ensuring the wife wouldn’t get cold.
His ability was Ice Element, even with wolf fur, he couldn’t generate heat.
Originally, Xiao Jihan wanted Da Bao to sleep closer, but for some reason, Da Bao insisted on sleeping alone in the cave that night.
Xiao Jihan feeling helpless, gently patted Su Muyao’s hair, "Rest peacefully, we’ll set off early tomorrow."
But Su Muyao didn’t sleep; instead, she watched Xiao Jihan.
Xiao Jihan spoke softly, "Don’t be afraid, it’s okay now."
"I won’t let anything happen to you either."
Even risking his life, he wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
Moreover, if he self-destructed or used Blood Sacrifice to risk his life, he could potentially rise two levels, ensuring the wife’s safety.
At this moment, Su Muyao wasn’t thinking about such things at all.
She thought about how, when contracting with the beast husbands, it seemed to help boost their power.
She wondered if it was applicable here.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, they should try.
After all, she missed Xiao Jihan.
Su Muyao tightly embraced Xiao Jihan’s beast form, gently rubbing her head against the wolf fur on his neck, whispering softly, "Jihan, I miss you."
"Mm, I’m right here beside you, not going anywhere."
At this moment, Xiao Jihan felt his wife’s attachment, his heart softened tremendously, his voice even more gentle, carrying a soothing tone.
The person usually as cold as frost would only show such tenderness to the one he loved.
Seeing Xiao Jihan’s gentle and calm demeanor, Su Muyao’s face turned red.
No, he just doesn’t understand.
Indeed, on this journey they only thought about survival, without harboring other thoughts.
"Can you transform into human form?"
Xiao Jihan patiently and warmly replied, "Okay."
No matter what the wife master wanted, he would comply.
After transforming into human form, with a flick of his sleeve, the beast skin would be worn.
Su Muyao’s finger immediately landed on Xiao Jihan’s chest.
Under her fingers were distinct textures, as the moonlight and flying snow illuminated the cave, making Xiao Jihan appear with a frost-like stunning aura.
The snow enchanting, noble and cold, features like a painting.
When sitting quietly, it was like a gorgeous statue.
But when he lowered his head to look at her, his eyebrows and eyes as cold as a painting were lit with a clear, soft brilliance, sparkling enticingly.
It was like sacred moonlight shining down on earth, adding a layer of warmth.
Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan had been in daily contact these days, and seeing his striking appearance up close still gave her a bewitching feeling.
She remembered what she wanted to do.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Xiao Jihan and said, "Jihan, could you set a barrier around our stone bed first?"
With Da Bao still in the cave, she still felt a bit shy.
Xiao Jihan looked at her charming eyes and seemed to suddenly understand something, his whole body shook, and the hand holding her waist tightened.
His cold eyes were filled with loving acceptance.
With a wave of his other hand, he set a barrier around their stone bed, isolating everything outside.
"Wife master, the cave environment is too simple."
Here, he couldn’t bear to let her suffer.
Once his love and longing poured out, he feared losing his rationality.
Su Muyao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her face seemingly blush-colored, "I feel it’s fine, as long as you’re here, no place feels like a compromise."
Furthermore, the cave had been cleaned by Xiao Jihan, with clean beast skins laid out.
The barrier was set, seemingly isolating the cold.
"Besides, I’m feeling warm now, could you help me take off the beast skin clothes?"
Since he understood her intention, she decided to be straightforward.
After all, they’ve contracted, so there’s no reason to feel embarrassed.
On the contrary, Xiao Jihan’s ears suddenly turned red.
Like ice melting into plum blossoms, beautifully heart-stirring.
Seeing this side of Xiao Jihan, Su Muyao couldn’t help but smile.
The more he was like this, the more she wanted to pull him into the earthly realm.
Moreover, Su Muyao’s fingers began to move restlessly.
Xiao Jihan immediately grabbed Su Muyao’s hand, his body becoming tense, "I’m scared... scared of hurting you."
He feared losing control and restraint.
Because he hadn’t anticipated that his wife master wanted... tonight.
He hadn’t mentally prepared himself, as if he had done so, he would have tried to suppress certain deep-seated instincts.
To prevent losing control.
Su Muyao’s hand was held tightly, and she whispered in his ear, "Jihan, I want to..."
