Chapter 917 - 903: Charm Fragrance

Hua Linye looked at the worry in Su Muyao’s eyes, and felt a little sour inside.

But he also knew his wife spent even less time with Yun Qinglan.

From the very beginning he had stayed by his wife’s side in the Beiluo Tribe, for longer than the others.

Thinking of this, Hua Linye felt a little better.

Besides, now he and his wife had the crystallization of their love; whenever he looked at his wife and their Zaizai, his heart felt warm.

Hua Linye told her honestly, "He’s still Yun Qinglan, it’s just that his aura and temperament have changed a lot—he looks very cold and aloof."

"He rarely speaks, and rarely comes out of the Priest Hall. Most of the time he stays inside, watching the stars day after day."

Listening to Hua Linye, Su Muyao couldn’t help but think of back when they were in Yunxiao City, the first time she went to the Yun Mansion and saw Yun Qinglan.

Back then his body was very weak, and he was also cold and indifferent, looking like he wasn’t interested in anything.

Later, once he got better, he was willing to talk, and his personality brightened a little.

Has he gone back to being like that now?

Just picturing him like that, Su Muyao naturally couldn’t help worrying.

She wished she could see everyone immediately.

But right now she also understood that while Hua Linye looked normal, in truth his Beast Power backlash was severe, and the violent value in his Spirit Sea was very high.

There was faint black qi seeping from his body, but he forced himself to endure it so she wouldn’t worry.

He needed comforting too.

Su Muyao told herself inwardly that she had to take things one by one.

And when she lifted her head to meet Hua Linye’s gaze, she saw a trace of unease in it, as if he feared she would just leave to go find Yun Qinglan.

Su Muyao’s heart softened; he was still that little fox from back then.

She took his hand and said softly, "Linye, can I look at your tail?"

Hua Linye’s fox eyes flickered, and his long lashes trembled.

With his wife speaking so gently, he couldn’t refuse her anything.

But his tail...

"Wife, my tail isn’t nice to look at, don’t look."

One tail broken, only nine left—it would look bad.

"No it won’t. Your tails are beautiful and pretty, I really like your tails."

Hua Linye’s heart wavered a little, but he still said quietly, "Wife will despise it."

What he feared most was his wife despising him.

He only wanted his wife to see him at his most good-looking and perfect.

Actually, at this moment the Beast Power backlash was very painful for Hua Linye, his body was hurting badly and he was in urgent need of soothing.

But he was afraid he would lose control and hurt his wife, so he kept holding it back.

And he hadn’t let his fox tails out either.

If he did, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to keep them from wrapping around his wife.

Yet an imperfect tail was just ugly.

If his wife despised it, what would he do? He knew he wouldn’t be able to take it.

He’d gone to so much effort, finally managing to secure a place in his wife’s heart—he absolutely couldn’t lose that place.

His rivals were all too strong, too competitive; he had no choice but to be extra cautious.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Su Muyao couldn’t help feeling a little heartsore.

She felt that sometimes the harm from one’s original family could cling to a Beastman for a lifetime.

She had thought Hua Linye had already shaken off the childhood experiences from his original family, but now it seemed his personality was still affected.

Su Muyao shifted closer to Hua Linye, moving nearer to him, then reached up to wrap her arms around his neck and pulled him down so he could see her eyes. "Linye, look at me."

She wouldn’t let his gaze dodge.

Hua Linye lowered his head to meet his wife’s eyes, and inside them he saw a strong love and aching tenderness. Seeing that kind of gaze, his heart gave a shudder, as if something scorching hot suddenly flowed through and warmed him.

His inner unease, fragility, and inferiority all seemed to be smoothed away.

As if all of his worries were laughable.

His wife was so good, his wife loved him—she wouldn’t despise him, would she?

Su Muyao spoke, every word serious and clear: "Linye, I love you. No matter what you’re like, you’re still you, and I love you."

"I won’t despise you just because your tail doesn’t look good, because you’ve been hurt."

"You have to believe me."

"We even have a Zaizai together now, and I gave birth to the very first Zaizai for you—how can you doubt my love?"

"I’ve missed you all this time, worried about you, and worked so hard to find you..."

As Su Muyao spoke, her eyes grew slightly red.

She truly did miss Hua Linye.

When she saw through Time Reversal how he broke off one tail, sacrificing that tail, she knew better than anyone how much it hurt in her chest.

But Su Muyao was very good at reining in her emotions.

Right now, though, she let all her feelings spill out, sending them to Hua Linye through her gaze.

He could understand.

Listening to these words at this moment, and seeing his wife’s eyes, Hua Linye’s heart shook and surged.

Yes, his wife did love him.

What was he doubting?

His wife had borne their first Zaizai for him.

Da Bao—what that meant, he knew best.

Hua Linye’s chest was boiling with endless heat, flowing through his limbs and bones, warming him all the way to the tip of his heart.

His heart really felt both soft and numb, full and swollen, filled with warm currents, so very warm.

It was as if in this instant he truly felt intense love.

He also wished he could pour all the love in his chest into his wife.

He hugged Su Muyao tightly and whispered hoarsely, "I’m sorry, I was overthinking."

He should trust his wife.

"Then can you let your tails out? Actually, I want to touch them, I want to touch your tails."

"I like your tails."

Under Su Muyao’s coaxing, Hua Linye let all nine of his tails out.

The beautiful, clean, red fluffy tails instantly filled Su Muyao’s field of vision.

Like flames, yet even prettier than fire.

There should have been one more tail originally.

But that tail had broken off; Su Muyao searched among the nine tails for the place where it had snapped.

It wasn’t obvious at all.

But Su Muyao still found it, then she reached out to stroke the other tails, before gently touching the spot where the tenth tail had broken off.

"It must have hurt a lot back then, right?"

Su Muyao used her Level 6 Wood Element Superpower to heal him.

But she discovered it didn’t work.

Of course, since the tails represented Divine Power and Power, Wood Element Ability couldn’t make his tail grow back.

He must have been in intense pain then; in the Time Reversal she had seen blood spattered all over the mountain.

Even now, just recalling it, she still felt heartsore.

Right now Hua Linye couldn’t feel any pain at all; the place his wife was touching was the most sensitive spot for a fox.

"Hiss..."

He drew in a soft breath, his Adam’s apple bobbing gently.

His nine tails wrapped around her body out of his control, and his tails involuntarily carried a unique Charm Fragrance.

That was a pheromone that only a Pure-blooded Fox Beastman would release under the extremity of longing and arousal.

He hadn’t had it before; only after growing his tenth tail and obtaining more inherited memories had Hua Linye slowly figured out this ability.

Su Muyao naturally caught the scent.

Her whole body felt as if it were being intoxicated.

"It smells... so good..."

Hua Linye held Su Muyao tightly, lowering his head so his lips brushed her ear, and whispered hoarsely, "Wife, it hurt so, so much. So tonight, will Wife dote on Linye, pamper Linye, okay?"
