Chapter 379 Alienation
When she was drifting off to sleep and felt uneasy, hearing Wen Nanxi's familiar tone made Su Muyao feel at ease, and she gradually fell asleep.

Wen Nanxi was not sleepy. He held Su Muyao in his arms, looking down at her with a deep and complicated expression in his eyes.

If Su Muyao were awake, she would definitely find it strange to be met with such a gaze.

Because Wen Nanxi always looked at her with a gentle and doting expression.

He murmured the two words "A-Yao" softly.

It felt both familiar and strange.

As he held her, his fingers gradually moved down to her heart.

He could even feel her vibrant life force and strong heartbeat.

If my heart stops beating, I'll die.

After Su Muyao fell asleep, she gradually felt a little cold and frowned, trying to break free from Wen Nanxi's embrace.

Wen Nanxi held her, gently patted her back, and whispered, "Sweetie, tell me, what's wrong?"

Wen Nanxi used a force to put Su Muyao into a deep sleep, from which she could not wake up.

Su Muyao felt as if she had fallen into a nightmare. She felt cold, but she couldn't wake up and break free from the cold.

"cold."

Wen Nanxi sighed softly, activating the power within her body to radiate warmth, so that Su Muyao wouldn't feel cold.

……

When Su Muyao woke up the next day, Wen Nanxi was no longer in bed.

After Su Muyao got up, Wen Nanxi had already prepared her toiletries.

He took care of her personally.

Su Muyao said, "Nanxi, you are injured, you don't need to take care of me like this, I can do it myself."

“Taking care of his wife is the duty of a beastly husband.”

He was her beastly husband, so he was supposed to do these things.

Su Muyao said, "But you still have injuries."

Wen Nanxi said softly, "These injuries are nothing serious, and they're already much better."

"Do you have any wild game meat you'd like to eat? After breakfast, I'll go hunt some for you."

"Although the environment here isn't great, there's plenty of wild animal meat."

"There are also some spiritual fruits that nourish the body."

Su Muyao's expression changed and she said, "You're still injured. Don't go hunting wild animals. What if you get hurt again?"

"I have plenty of ingredients here, enough for us to eat."

"There is also plenty of wild animal meat, so there is no need to hunt wild animals."

After washing up, Su Muyao gently touched Wen Nanxi's waist, where the injury was the most severe.

Wen Nanxi's body stiffened slightly, and a hint of dark glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Is my wife so worried about me?"

"Of course, you just need to focus on recovering from your injury for now. We'll go out again once you're healed."

And so, for the next period of time, Su Muyao devoted herself to taking care of Wen Nanxi, cooking delicious food for him and brewing medicine for him.

Sometimes Su Muyao would talk to him a lot.

She noticed that Wen Nanxi had become less talkative after their meeting.

Wen Nanxi would only answer if she spoke.

"Nanxi, didn't you encounter any snake-beastmen of your own kind on the Azure Beast Continent?"

Wen Nanxi explained, "Snake beastmen are just as unpopular as insectoid beastmen. However, 100,000 years ago, the powerful Wu clan sealed most of the insectoid beastmen in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, while the snake beastmen were hunted down by other beastmen races. Therefore, there are very few snake beastmen left now, and there are no ancient celestial snake beastmen."

"Therefore, other races of orcs are naturally hostile to snake orcs, and after so much time, very few snake orcs have survived."

Su Muyao pondered and said, "I'm wondering if there's any secret technique from the snake clan that can help you heal faster from the injuries caused by the magical artifact."

Even using talismans didn't work.

Wen Nanxi's injuries are strange and are healing rather slowly.

Wen Nanxi said, "The snake clan has secret techniques, but I know very little about them."

"It's just that my injury has dragged you down with me."

Su Muyao covered Wen Nanxi's lips with her hand, "Don't say that."

"There's no need for such formality between us."

"Nanxi, is it because we haven't seen each other for several months that you've become distant with me?"

Although Wen Nanxi needs to recuperate from her injury these days, her activities are not affected.

They showed no affection, not even a kiss.

She didn't need these things. Her mind was entirely focused on Wen Nanxi's injuries, and she wasn't thinking about anything else.

I just felt something was off, something was strange.

I hadn't thought much about it before, but now that I think about it carefully, I feel that they've grown distant from each other.

"How could that be? My lady, don't overthink it."

"I'm just not used to life on the Azure Beast Continent yet."

"I felt that I couldn't protect you with my own strength, so I had a lot on my mind."

"If my wife feels that I have neglected you, how about this?"

As Wen Nanxi spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Su Muyao's cheek.

His wife was undoubtedly beautiful, with fair skin and a captivating face, especially her bright and lively eyes, which made her stunningly beautiful.

He reached out and gently smoothed her hair, lightly touched her cheek, then slowly lowered his head, his lips landing on her eyebrows and eyes, then slowly moving down to her lips.

He was wrong. As a husband, he should always serve his wife in every way and make her satisfied.

As his breath enveloped her, his fingers rested on the skin of her waist.

His breath was so cold, and his fingers were cold too; Su Muyao shivered slightly.

There's a feeling of unease.

She reached out and pushed Wen Nanxi away, saying somewhat shyly, "What are you thinking? That's not what I meant."

Wen Nanxi held her down to prevent her from breaking free, while playing with her hair with his other hand.

She was still flushed from his kiss, her bright eyes seemingly drunk and shy, capable of easily captivating hearts and stirring desires.

"What does the wife want?"

He believed he had done a great job, that it was flawless.

Su Muyao felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't possibly suspect Wen Nanxi. She thought that perhaps it was because of the change of environment that she felt this way.

Because she could sense that his aura was Wen Nanxi's, there was no mistake, she said, "You should recover from your injuries first."

Wen Nanxi could sense the disappointment in her expression and said, "It's my fault for making my wife unhappy."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and continued kissing her cheek.

When he lowered his head, a dark glint flashed across his beautiful eyes.

It seems she still has her doubts.

This is not good.

Isn't the idea to distance ourselves?

Then when you get close, you won't feel distant anymore.

That's true. As her beast husband, who loves her so much, he would also want to be close to her.

There should be no excuses, even if you are injured.

Soon, the pheromones emanating from Wen Nanxi caused Su Muyao to become slightly confused.

She pressed her hand against Wen Nanxi's chest and said earnestly, "Nanxi, no."

Wen Nanxi sighed, tidied her disheveled hair and clothes, and said with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "Okay, whatever you say."

"Go to sleep first."

Su Muyao nodded and lay down on the bed to sleep.

In the middle of the night, she seemed to hear some noise outside. Having lived on the Azure Beast Continent, Su Muyao was very vigilant and woke up instantly.

Wen Nanxi pressed her down and said, "Don't move, I'll go out and take a look."

Before Su Muyao could react, Wen Nanxi went out, and soon the sounds of fighting came from outside.

Su Muyao's expression hardened, and she hurriedly went out.

But by the time she went out, Wen Nanxi had already gone to hunt down the assassin.

Just then, two more experts came chasing after Su Muyao from the shadows.

Su Muyao sparred with them for a while, but didn't linger; she was going to find Wen Nanxi.

So she followed the scent and came to the mountains and forests.

The further Su Muyao went, the more she sensed that something was amiss in the forest.

The two skilled assassins who were chasing her continued their pursuit.

Both of them were level 15, so it wouldn't be easy for Su Muyao to fight them across levels.

Although they used methods such as runes, they were unable to kill them in a short time.

Unless we forcibly increase our strength again.

But she didn't know Wen Nanxi's safety and dared not use this method rashly.
