Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Heart Stirred

Qiao Suluo was stunned when she heard Gu Songlan’s words. She thought carefully about whether she had done anything wrong or made Que Hongjin unhappy when she interacted with him on a daily basis. She wondered if it was because she had other Beast Husbands.

Looking at Qiao Suluo’s frowning and conflicted expression, Bai Qianluo said, "He probably thought you were killed by Mo Xuan Ye, so he’s unwilling to face reality and wake up.

"When I heard about your accident, I had the same mindset."

Listening to Bai Qianluo’s explanation, Qiao Suluo finally understood what was going on. Her heart was gently touched.

"So that’s why."

Qiao Suluo crouched down and gently touched Que Hongjin’s cheek. "Hong Jin, I’m sorry to have worried you. Wake up now. I’m fine. I’m still alive and well..."

When he woke up, she could still help him awaken his superpower. She wondered what system Que Hongjin’s Abnormal Power would belong to. Qiao Suluo whispered these words into Que Hongjin’s ear, but he remained unresponsive.

Qiao Suluo could only take the bowl of medicine, gently stir it with a spoon, scoop up a spoonful, blow on it, and feed it to him. Fortunately, although he was unconscious, he could swallow the medicine. She patiently fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Seeing this scene, a look of disbelief appeared in Gu Songlan’s handsome eyes. To think there was such a gentle and attentive female who was actually willing to care for her Beast Husband personally like this. In his understanding, it was always the Beast Husbands who took care of their wife. If a Beast Husband was injured, the female, as the wife, generally wouldn’t care. Even if she were kind-hearted and willing to care, she wouldn’t do it so hands-on. Gu Songlan’s expression flickered. He stood up and walked out, leaving the space for them.

Chu Moyuan was also moved. The current her was indeed different from other females; she actually had such a gentle side. At this moment, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was probably a little envious of Que Hongjin being taken care of so gently and attentively by her.

Bai Qianluo knew their wife was great, but seeing her care so much about Que Hongjin still made a wave of sourness well up in his heart. He also walked out of the room.

Chu Moyuan followed suit, completely leaving the room to the two of them.

After arriving at the door, Chu Moyuan couldn’t hold back his emotions and asked, "When we aren’t at home, has our wife always been like this to you?"

A trace of deep, rippling light flashed across Bai Qianluo’s cold eyes as he said softly, "Not exactly.

"It was on a rainy night a month ago that our wife became different.

"She would care for us, cook personally, and even go to the mountains to gather food herself..."

Speaking of this, a soft halo rippled in Bai Qianluo’s eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "I accidentally fell into the river and should have died, but she saved me."

If he had known earlier, he should have treated her better and better back then, instead of falling a step behind Que Hongjin. He knew that Que Hongjin ranked first in their wife’s heart. Otherwise, Que Hongjin wouldn’t have become their wife’s first Beast Husband. Fortunately, he himself ranked ahead of the others.

At this moment, Yue Hanzheng happened to pass by and heard this conversation. He said coldly, "Chu Moyuan, don’t be fooled by them.

"Don’t forget how she tortured us."

Hearing Yue Hanzheng’s words, Bai Qianluo’s expression instantly changed. "Yue Hanzheng, don’t think I won’t raise my hand against you.

"If you speak of our wife like that again, I will attack you."

Seeing Bai Qianluo like this and hearing his words, Yue Hanzheng’s eyes showed an expression of disbelief. "You really are... hopeless."

Looking thoroughly disappointed, Yue Hanzheng turned his wheelchair to leave. However, the wheelchair was a bit stiff, and Yue Hanzheng struggled to turn the wheels with his hands. He began to cough incessantly and almost tipped over onto the ground.

Bai Qianluo couldn’t bear it in the end. He stepped forward to help steady the chair and said, "Yue Hanzheng, believe me. Don’t treat our wife like that. Our wife has Medical Skill; she might be able to cure your legs."

Yue Hanzheng’s eyes harbored intense hatred. "Bai Qianluo, there’s no need to persuade me. I won’t believe her.

"Even if she has some skills, I don’t need her treatment."

He would rather die than have any further involvement with Qiao Suluo.

Seeing the hidden, deep, and bone-deep hatred in Yue Hanzheng’s eyes, Bai Qianluo opened his mouth but didn’t know how to persuade him anymore. "Our wife is different from before. Don’t let your hatred torture you."

However, Bai Qianluo also knew that verbal persuasion was too feeble. They had only discovered her goodness through spending day after day with her. Yue Hanzheng hadn’t spent a single day with their wife, so his hatred couldn’t be worn away at all.

Chu Moyuan stood leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He actually understood Yue Hanzheng. Yue Hanzheng was just tortured by his hatred and hadn’t yet thought of killing Qiao Suluo. But back when he was at the underground auction house, surviving by the skin of his teeth, what was it that kept him going? Oh, right. It was his hatred for Qiao Suluo. At the time, he had only thought about staying alive—staying alive to kill her. But now, the hatred in his heart had long since vanished. He only wanted to protect her.

Yue Hanzheng revealed a self-deprecating, despairing expression and said, "On the way from the Capital City to Nanhe County, she pretended many times. Have you forgotten?

"Maybe the way she talks and acts now is different from before, but who can guarantee that she won’t revert to her old ways?"

After Yue Hanzheng said this, both Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan’s expressions darkened.

Back in the room, Qiao Suluo had already finished feeding Que Hongjin the bowl of medicine. She then took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth.

"Que Hongjin, wake up, okay? I’m right here. Can you feel me?"

Qiao Suluo spoke for a long time, but Que Hongjin didn’t wake up.

The system spoke up, "Host, you can enter Que Hongjin’s Spiritual Sea to awaken him.

"If you enter his Spiritual Sea, he will be able to sense your aura and know that you are still alive and well."

Qiao Suluo’s expression flickered. Following the system’s instructions, she entered Que Hongjin’s Spiritual Sea.

As soon as she entered Que Hongjin’s Spiritual Sea, she found herself in a grassy clearing within a forest. However, it was raining inside. Qiao Suluo was a bit confused. She wondered why it would be raining in Que Hongjin’s Spiritual Sea.

Fortunately, the rain wasn’t heavy; it was just a light drizzle. Qiao Suluo stepped on the grass and walked forward, calling out Que Hongjin’s name. "Hong Jin, Hong Jin..."

Qiao Suluo walked forward without seeing Que Hongjin until she spotted a wooden cabin in the mountain forest. She went inside and saw Que Hongjin lying on the bed. Excitedly, she stepped forward and held his hand, saying, "Hong Jin, wake up. I’m alive and well. I’m fine."

Looking at Que Hongjin lying unconscious with a pale face, Qiao Suluo felt an indescribable sense of self-blame and heartache. She reached out and gently touched his cheek, then lowered her head and took the initiative to kiss his eyes and lips.

The moment she touched his lips, scenes of their time together flooded her mind. Especially since Que Hongjin currently exuded a cool and refreshing aura, her lips tingled as if an electric current had passed through them.

In that very instant, Que Hongjin opened his eyes.
