Chapter 110 The Dead Beast Husband

Kuroba returned with a bowl of herbal medicine.

He sat down next to An Yuan, his voice and eyes still gentle.

There wasn't a trace of life on his face.

"An'an, don't throw a tantrum this time, okay? You're not good to the child."

Kuroba held the medicine in his hands and coaxed him gently, as if he were coaxing a disobedient child.

"This is the last bowl. You don't know how precious this is. It wasn't easy for me to get it for you. Don't let me down."

An Yuan's face turned deathly pale. She licked the blood off her lips with the tip of her tongue, a hint of resistance flashing in her eyes.

She didn't want to drink it.

There are bugs inside this thing!
She doesn't want to drink it!!

But she heard the warning in Kuroba's words.

He was warning her that she had to drink it.

“I…” An Yuan was still thinking of discussing it with Hei Yu.

However, when she met Kuroba's dark and deep eyes, the words that were on the tip of her tongue failed her.

She found herself unable to utter a sound.

Kuroba's eyes intimidated her.

An Yuan's gaze shifted to the dark medicine, but her fear of the insects still overcame everything else.

She took a deep breath, ignoring her unease and fear, and forced a smile.

"Kuroba...can't I just not drink it?"

An Yuan softened her voice and tried to negotiate with Hei Yu in order to escape her fate of having to drink the insect.

"An'an, I'm doing this for your own good. Do you really want to break my heart?"

Kuroba gently repeated the sentence.

He had said it many times, and even when he said it again, An Yuan did not see the slightest impatience from him.

“But this medicine is very bitter.” An Yuan opened her mouth, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful.

Kuroba's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at her with heartache. "Sweetheart, don't cry."

"I know this medicine tastes bad." Hei Yu's cool hand gently stroked An Yuan's cheek. "You won't need to drink it after you give birth to your cubs. Don't be stubborn now, okay?"

Kuroba's fingers were cold, as cold as the ice outside.

Wherever he touched, An Yuan uncontrollably broke out in a row of goosebumps.

She realized then that she had no way to avoid the medicine.

“Okay, I can drink it.” An Yuan, having nothing to lose, took the medicine from Hei Yu’s hand.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Kuroba's eyes.

However, An Yuan simply held the cup and did not drink it for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Kuroba looked at her questioningly. "Why aren't you drinking?"

“Then…” An Yuan took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, “When can you take me back?”

"Go back? You really want to go back that much?" Kuroba tilted his head.

An Yuan was smarter this time and kept quiet about the matter of the beastmen.

An Yuan had a general idea of ​​Hei Yu's temperament.

When the two were together, Kuroba didn't like hearing her mention other males.

She said coquettishly, "Of course I want to go back. After all, the tribe is where I grew up... There's no one to talk to here, it's so boring being alone."

"Besides, we've been out for quite a while now, and I'm starting to miss home."

Hei Yu looked at her with a half-smile, "An'an, if you're bored, I can chat with you."

An Yuan shook her head vigorously: "This is different! I mean... sigh, it's really boring staying here all the time."

"It's okay, you can go out for a walk, just don't go too far," Hei Yu said.

An Yuan: "...Black Feather."

Before she could finish speaking, Kuroba interrupted her, "Alright, that's enough, I understand."

An Yuan looked at him.

Hei Yu continued, "I'll take you back after you give birth to your cubs."

"Really!" An Yuan's eyes lit up.

Kuroba nodded with a smile.

An Yuan, having received the promise, finally had a glimmer of hope.

She touched her belly, which was growing bigger every day.

In the Beast World, the gestation period for females is different from that of humans; they do not need to carry a child for ten months.

Females are typically able to give birth after two months.

quickly!

She'll be able to leave here soon.

Then she'll be able to find new targets to pursue and earn points.

Thinking of this, An Yuan was filled with hope.

After some time, An Yuan had come to accept it all.

She obediently ate the medicinal soup that Hei Yu brought, and waited for the child in her womb to be born.

An Yuan even began to get used to this kind of life.

Seeing how sensible she was, Kuroba allowed her to move around near the cave.

Once outside, An Yuan discovered that she was in a primeval jungle.

All the dangers in the forest are unknown.

It was impossible for her to escape on her own.

After seeing the situation outside, An Yuan's thoughts gradually subsided.

She'd rather wait until the cubs were born so that Kuroba could take her away... An Yuan smiled bitterly.

The days went by like this.

One day, An Yuan suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest.

The pain came on so suddenly and suddenly that there was no time to react, and An Yuan was rolling around on the bed in agony.

She felt as if someone was tearing her flesh and blood out of her.

An Yuan lay weakly on the bed, drenched in cold sweat, until the pain gradually subsided.

She had no idea what had happened; she just felt as if a piece of her heart was empty.

Until the system notification sounded.

[Host, your beast mate is dead.]

An Yuan's mind went blank for a moment.

Beast husband?

die?

So, was that excruciating pain because her beastly husband died?
An Yuan asked instinctively, "Will the points be taken back?"

The system remained silent for a while.

【Won't. 】

An Yuan breathed a sigh of relief before pressing for an answer: "Who died?"

【Chi Yan. 】

“Oh…how did he die?” An Yuan asked again.

The system did not answer.

An Yuan roughly understood. Even the system didn't know. If the system knew, it would definitely tell her.

An Yuan turned over in bed, trying to recall Chi Yan.

She couldn't really say she liked this beastly husband that much; it was just that Chi Yan was easy to win over.

After she started to become more beautiful, she stopped hitting and scolding him, and his affection for her increased rapidly.

After a little flirting, her favorability rating skyrocketed.

Chi Yan played a crucial role in enabling her to accumulate a large number of points in the early stages.

She was suddenly told that Chi Yan was dead, and she felt quite sad.

However, Chi Yan has a volatile temper, and perhaps he got into an argument with someone, which led to his death.

An Yuan sighed, but didn't feel much sadness.

Chi Yan was a male with an A-level talent. So be it if he dies; it frees up a spot.

Anyway, with her current looks and conditions, she has no shortage of high-quality males.

"It would be even better if I could get my hands on Wen Li and those beastmen," An Yuan thought to herself. As her thoughts raced, the cave curtain was lifted.

Hei Yu walked in, looking travel-worn. Even from a distance, An Yuan could smell the strong stench of blood on him.

"Did you go hunting?" An Yuan asked, frowning.

The smell was too strong; she was pregnant and just smelling it made her feel nauseous.

An Yuan subconsciously took a step back.

Kuroba took off his blood-stained coat and threw it outside, immediately reducing the smell of blood.

He strode up to An Yuan and pulled her into his arms.

"I ran into a clueless little kitten today," Kuroba chuckled. "He tried to attack me, so I just killed him without thinking."

"You're amazing." An Yuan leaned against Hei Yu's chest.

These are An Yuan's honest words.

Among her several beastmen, Black Feather was the strongest; none of the others could defeat him.

She definitely had to make the most of such a powerful man.

Kuroba stroked her head, a strange smile appearing on his face where she couldn't see.

With her due date approaching, An Yuan felt like her heart was being hollowed out almost every other day.

Her beastly husbands were killed one by one.

Starting with Chi Yan, her beast husband would die every so often.

She had many lovers, a total of seven, and six of them are now dead.

An Yuan had already gotten used to the dull pain of emptiness in her heart.

Having not seen her beast husbands for so long, she didn't actually feel particularly sad. She was just relieved about one thing—thankfully, her points wouldn't be taken back.

Otherwise, wouldn't all her hard work over the past few days have been for nothing?
It doesn't matter if there's only one beast husband left; she can still develop the relationship further.

The day before the due date, it started snowing outside.

Temperatures have been rising recently, and it hasn't snowed for a long time.

She walked outside, feeling the cool snowflakes falling on her face.

A putrid smell filled the air, and An Yuan, filled with doubt, followed the direction to find out what was going on.

She remembered that this was where the kitchen was located.

Is something broken?
After walking for a while, An Yuan arrived at the kitchen.

She rarely comes here. Usually, Kuroba cooks for her and delivers the food to the cave, where she just needs to wait to eat.

The kitchen door was unlocked. An Yuan gently pushed it open, and a strong smell of blood and decay hit her.

An Yuan covered her nose, thankful that it was winter; if it were summer, the smell would have knocked her unconscious.

An Yuan cautiously entered the kitchen and looked around.

The kitchen was fairly tidy; Kuroba is actually quite clean.

She followed the smell all the way and discovered that the stench was coming from a cellar.

An Yuan had never smelled this scent before. She felt both uneasy and curious, and hesitated for a moment.

Maybe the food has rotted? We need to clean it up promptly.

Although temperatures have warmed up, it will still be some time before winter is completely over.

During this period, obtaining food was not easy.

With the thought of food in mind, An Yuan opened the cellar.

The moment the lid was lifted, An Yuan was almost overwhelmed by the stench that resembled a biological weapon.

She immediately covered her mouth and nose, but the stench still made her eyes roll back and she felt like vomiting.

What is that thing? It stinks so badly!

An Yuan quickly backed away until the stench gradually dissipated before she went over to peek inside.

Upon seeing this, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

After closing the lid again, An Yuan returned to the cave, feeling utterly dejected.

She sat there for a long time before finally emerging from the shadows.

"An'an, I'm back."

The curtain was lifted, and Black Feather, reeking of blood, entered the cave.

An Yuan had even grown accustomed to the smell of blood.

Kuroba, mindful that she was about to give birth, took off his own coat before coming over.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Your face is so pale." Hei Yu noticed An Yuan's almost transparent complexion.

An Yuan snapped out of her daze and shook her head vigorously, "No, no!"

A voice inside An Yuan told her that she couldn't let Hei Yu know that she had seen what was in the cave!

"Maybe...maybe because the baby is about to be born, so...I'm not feeling well," An Yuan stammered, trying to find an excuse for herself.

"Really? You've had a hard time." Kuroba sat down beside her and naturally reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Hmm... what's that smell on you?" Kuroba suddenly asked.

His cheek gently brushed against An Yuan's hair. "Did you go out today?"

An Yuan froze. "What...?"

After emerging from the cave, An Yuan was covered in a slight stench of decay.

The strong smell was practically glued to her body, clinging to her like a shadow, impossible to get rid of.

There were no facilities to give her a bath, so An Yuan could only use her few remaining points to redeem a refreshing perfume in the system shop.

She tried to cover up the smell on her body with perfume.

She smelled it many times and didn't notice anything wrong with it.

Just how sensitive is Kuroba's nose?

The thought that Kuroba knew he had discovered the cellar made An Yuan's heart pound uncontrollably.

"It's nothing." Kuroba's pale fingertips gently brushed the end of her hair. "It smells quite nice."

His answer gradually calmed An Yuan down.

"Really?" An Yuan smiled.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food." Hei Yu kissed An Yuan's cheek, then let go of her and got up.

After dinner, the two went to bed early.

Kuroba has been going out every day lately, but he hasn't told An Yuan what he's doing.

Why didn't you mention going back today?

Hei Yu reached out and hugged An Yuan, who had her back to him, and asked softly.

As soon as An Yuan closed her eyes, the scene she had witnessed in the cellar began to replay uncontrollably in her mind.

She vaguely guessed what was going on and didn't want to answer Kuroba's question.

"I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep," An Yuan mumbled.

In the darkness, Kuroba, whose back was to her, chuckled softly.

"Okay, go to sleep then."

Kuroba's eerie voice rang out again.

An Yuan closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts.

She tried to clear her mind and did feel sleepy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely sensed someone whispering in her ear.

A whisper like a demon rang in her ear:

"You went to the cellar today, didn't you?"

In that instant, a sharp chill shot straight to the scalp.

An Yuan felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water, which instantly sobered her up.

The drowsiness I had been building up vanished without a trace because of that one sentence.

An Yuan stiffened her body, pretending that she had fallen asleep.

Kuroba didn't speak again, but let out a low, enigmatic laugh.

An Yuan squeezed her eyes shut tightly.

At this moment, that terrifying suspicion was confirmed.

The other beastmen were all killed by Black Feather.

He killed them and then dumped all the bodies in the cellar.

An Yuan no longer knew how to face Hei Yu.

This man was more terrifying than she had imagined.

She regretted it so much...
