Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Provoked

Looking at Bai Qianluo like this, Qiao Suluo’s heartstrings trembled. She found it completely impossible to refuse him.

Que Hongjin remained silent. Rationally, he knew that their wife did not belong to him alone, but emotionally, he had yet to accept it. He just needed time.

"Host, don’t back down. He’s going to be your Beast Husband sooner or later," the system urged. "Besides, you’ve awakened the Healing Ability now. Forming a Contract with you will make it much easier to repair his body—it’s even more effective than just using your Healing Ability on him."

Hearing the system’s words, Qiao Suluo was slightly surprised. She communicated with the system in her mind, "Then why is Que Hongjin’s condition still so severe? His body hasn’t recovered much at all."

The system explained, "That’s because you formed a Contract with Que Hongjin first, and only then awakened your Healing Ability and gained a special physique. If you are intimate with him again tonight, it will help repair his physical condition."

Qiao Suluo blinked. She hadn’t expected to possess such an ability. Using her Healing Ability required medicinal herbs to level up, which wasn’t nearly as convenient as this method. But why did she feel herself blushing?

Because she hadn’t answered, the initial expectation in Bai Qianluo’s eyes had faded into a dim void.

Qiao Suluo snapped back to reality. Seeing that look in his eyes, her heart tightened, and she nodded. "O-Okay."

As soon as she said this, Qiao Suluo noticed Bai Qianluo’s dim eyes suddenly burst with a radiant light. At this moment, it was as if he finally possessed his own emotions and feelings, no longer aloof and indifferent to everything around him. Seeing him like this, Qiao Suluo felt an indescribable vitality radiating from his entire being.

Bai Qianluo looked at Qiao Suluo with profound affection. "Wife, can tonight..." he asked softly.

Before he could finish, there was a loud THUD.

Qiao Suluo turned her head and saw that Que Hongjin had fainted.

"Hong Jin!" Qiao Suluo cried out in alarm. She hurriedly squatted down to check Que Hongjin’s pulse. Upon doing so, she discovered a frantic, manic energy surging within him. His internal energy was in absolute chaos.

Bai Qianluo’s expression also turned grave. "How is he?"

"He’s entering a manic rampage. I need to soothe him first," Qiao Suluo said. She had to bring down his mania levels immediately.

"Let me help." With that, Bai Qianluo helped carry Que Hongjin and placed him on the bed inside the room. He took a deep look at Qiao Suluo and said, "Wife, I’ll step out first. If you need anything, just call for me."

"Okay."

Qiao Suluo placed her hand on Que Hongjin’s wrist and began to soothe him.

"He was perfectly fine earlier. Why is his mania acting up so severely all of a sudden?" she asked the system.

The system replied, "Using his physical strength makes him prone to mania to begin with, and he just suffered an emotional trigger."

Qiao Suluo’s eyelashes fluttered. "A trigger?" She wondered if it could be what she thought it was.

"Exactly. Que Hongjin may look gentle and mild on the outside, but he actually cares for you deeply. That’s why he reacted this way."

Hearing this, Qiao Suluo’s heart fluttered uneasily. She not only used her spiritual power to soothe him, but also used her Healing Ability to treat his old physical wounds. Her Healing Ability was still very weak at the moment, so she could only heal him a little, but she desperately wanted Que Hongjin to get better.

Time ticked by. A while later, Que Hongjin slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing him wake up, Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Hong Jin, you’re awake! That’s wonderful. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Although Que Hongjin had been unconscious just now, he could feel all the changes in his body as his spirit was being soothed. Waking up and seeing Qiao Suluo, the dark tides within his body surged even more fiercely.

The corners of his eyes were faintly flushed. "There are some places that feel uncomfortable," he said in a low, hoarse voice. If one listened closely, there was a slight tremor at the end of his words.

Qiao Suluo instantly grew nervous. "Where does it hurt?"

Que Hongjin grasped Qiao Suluo’s hand and guided it to his body. "Here. And the manic pain inside me feels like it’s going to explode.

"Wife, you promised to help me tonight..."

As if realizing what he meant, Qiao Suluo’s face turned beet red. Her hand trembled, and she hurriedly withdrew it. "I... yes." She wouldn’t go back on her word.

Seeing her nod, a dark glint flashed through Que Hongjin’s eyes. With a swift movement of his arm, he effortlessly pulled her into a gentle embrace and brought her onto the bed. Then, leaning over, he confined her within his arms.

Feeling Que Hongjin’s dark, burning gaze, Qiao Suluo touched her own face and asked, "Am I very fat?"

Her original body had been quite thin, and she had been the type who never gained weight no matter how much she ate, so she had always maintained a good figure. Now, she didn’t even want to look in the mirror. Fortunately, this body looked similar to her original appearance, with a small skeletal frame and a small face. Even though she now weighed a hundred and fifty pounds, her face didn’t look overly chubby.

"You’re not fat. You’re perfect just like this. There’s no need to lose any weight," Que Hongjin said. He worried that if she got any thinner, other males would discover her beauty.

Looking into Que Hongjin’s eyes, Qiao Suluo felt as though his deep gaze carried electricity. Wherever his eyes lingered on her skin, it felt as though every inch was being scorched.

"But isn’t it heavy for you to hold me like this?" she asked. She knew that carrying her all the way back from the narrow alleys of the village, he must have found her very heavy. And on that rainy night, he was the one who had carried her on his back from the forest.

"You’re not heavy. To me, you’re very light." If his Inner Strength hadn’t been crippled, this amount of weight would be absolutely nothing to him. "Don’t overthink it."

Saying this, Que Hongjin lifted her chin with his fingers and brought his lips down onto hers.

The moment their lips met, feeling that sweet and delicious taste, Que Hongjin’s body trembled slightly. Ever since they formed their Contract, he had fallen in love with this feeling. Only then did he realize how wonderful she was. Having tasted her sweetness, he couldn’t help but crave more. He was exceptionally attached to this sensation, wishing he could stay entangled with her every waking moment. He had never imagined that one day he would become so utterly captivated by a female.

Aroused, Que Hongjin exuded a faint, musky fragrance that seemed capable of stirring the deepest passions hidden within a person’s heart. This scent instantly enveloped Qiao Suluo, leaving her delightfully dazed and intoxicated.

Soon, their breaths intertwined.

In between breaths, Que Hongjin couldn’t help but ask, "In the future, when you have other Beast Husbands, will you still leave a place for me in your heart, wife?"

Qiao Suluo nodded groggily. "Mhm."

Hearing this, Que Hongjin wrapped his arms around her even more tightly.

That night, Que Hongjin led her through tossing and turning waves of passion. It was as if he wanted to express his affection through this method, making her remember him profoundly, leaving his mark on her, and stirring up endless ripples of pleasure.

As the night wore on, Qiao Suluo’s voice grew increasingly sweet and coquettish.

Little did she know, Bai Qianluo, who was waiting outside the door, found it impossible to sleep. He had originally intended to wait there just in case their wife needed any assistance. Who would have thought he would end up listening to all of this? An unknown sensation surged through Bai Qianluo’s cold, stagnant blood, throwing his breathing into complete disarray. He had never known that their wife could make such sweet, coquettish sounds. With such intense commotions, he couldn’t help but wonder if she could even handle it.
