Chapter 131 Extra: Bai Yanci

The room was filled with the strong smell of medicine. Bai Yanci was lying on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed.

With a click, the door opened.

Wen Li carried the prepared medicine into the room and walked a few steps to Bai Yanci's bedside.

“It’s time to take your medicine,” Wen Li said.

Bai Yanci on the bed slowly opened his eyes. His originally bright green eyes appeared dull and lifeless due to his illness.

Wen Li touched his face tenderly: "Why did you get sick?"

"I've been too tired lately." Bai Yanci forced a smile, then coughed lightly.

Wen Li placed the medicine aside, carefully helped Bai Yanci up, and prepared to feed him the medicine.

Bai Yanci only had a fever; his illness wasn't serious.

He didn't make Wen Li exert much effort; he sat up on his own.

“I’ll feed you,” Wen Li said.

Bai Yanci nodded obediently: "Okay."

"Where are they?" Bai Yanci suddenly asked.

Wen Li knew he wanted to ask about the other beastmen, so she replied, "They've all gone out to work, so it's just the two of us at home now."

Bai Yanci nodded gently and gave Wen Li an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I was planning to take you out to play today, but I suddenly got sick."

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Wen Li said considerately.

Today it's Bai Yanci's turn to accompany Wen Li. Just yesterday, the two of them agreed to go out together today.

Bai Yanci found a nice place to take Wen Li to see the scenery, but unexpectedly he fell ill late at night with a persistent high fever.

Wen Li's healing ability cannot treat this condition; it can only treat external injuries.

Therefore, Bai Yanci could only rely on taking medicine to get through it.

I gave her medicine last night, but she hasn't gotten better. She still has a low-grade fever.

He has always been in good physical condition, but he was really busy and under a lot of mental stress recently, so it is understandable that he developed a fever.

Wen Li fed Bai Yanci the prepared medicine little by little, and the other party cooperated well.

Wen Li handed it to him, and he opened his mouth and drank the dark medicine in a few gulps.

This medicine will take effect quickly, but it will also be very bitter.

Bai Yanci drank the entire bowl of medicine without even frowning.

This made Wen Li think of Shen Yihe.

Just the smell of this medicine would probably deter Shen Yihe.

"Who are you thinking about?" Bai Yanci suddenly grabbed Wen Li's hand.

Wen Li snapped out of her daze and gave an awkward smile: "No."

Bai Yanci gently rubbed her palm with his fingertips, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

“Of course,” Wen Li nodded quickly.

This is a new skill she recently learned: to lie through her teeth.

In short, she can't mention another beast husband in front of him, or she'll be in trouble.

"You rest here for a while, I'll go wash the dishes," Wen Li said, picking up the bowls and getting up.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanci reached out and grabbed her hand: "Will you come again later?"

Wen Li smiled and nodded: "Of course, I'm still worried about you, so I'll stay here with you all day."

Having received her promise, Bai Yanci smiled gently: "Okay, then go ahead."

He watched Wen Li leave the room and then closed the door.

Then, Bai Yanci sat up from the bed.

He rolled out of bed, strode to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a mirror made of polished crystal.

These brand-new and practical gadgets were all bought in the tribe; the mirror is exquisitely crafted.

Bai Yanci bought two, even as a couple's set. He gave one to Wen Li and kept the other for himself, occasionally using it to check his appearance.

Holding the mirror in his hand, Bai Yanci looked at his face. Upon seeing it, he immediately frowned.

You look so haggard and ugly.

He simply couldn't accept himself like this, especially in front of Wen Li.

Bai Yanci smoothed his messy long hair, and once it became soft, he felt much better.

Soon after, she realized that her complexion was not good, and she looked too haggard, as if she was about to die at any moment.

He opened the drawer and thought of the red leaves he had bought not long ago.

This is a plant that females in the tribe use specifically to improve their complexion. It can be applied to the lips or cheeks, and has a similar effect to lipstick and blush.

Bai Yanci originally intended these leaves as a gift for Wen Li; he planned to make them into a fragrant balm and then give it to her.

But now, seeing himself in this state, he felt that he was the one who should be employed.

He squeezed the juice from the leaves and smeared the scarlet liquid on his pale lips.

The lips, which were originally bloodless, now had a bit more color, but it didn't look exaggerated; at least it made her look much better than before when she looked sickly.

Bai Yanci nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't used too much, and once he felt it was about right, he stopped and returned to bed, waiting for Wen Li to come over later.

When he lay back down on the bed, he carefully struck an elegant pose, wanting to show Wen Li his best side.

Bai Yanci discovered very early on that Wen Li was a sucker for good looks; she simply liked people with attractive faces.

Bai Yanci was also glad that his face was not bad-looking, just enough to catch Wen Li's eye.

Bai Yanci heard soft footsteps outside and knew that Wen Li was coming.

He casually unbuttoned his collar, pulled it out to reveal his strong, smooth chest, and then closed his eyes.

After doing all this, the door opened, and Wen Li walked in.

Upon seeing Bai Yanci on the bed, Wen Li visibly froze for a moment.

At that moment, Bai Yanci opened his eyes and smiled gently at Wen Li: "You've come."

“I thought you were resting,” Wen Li said, closing the door.

She quickly came to Bai Yanci's bedside, her gaze sweeping over him: "You look much better."

Wen Li sat down by the bed, thinking that it seemed her medicine was really effective; Bai Yanci's lips had regained color after drinking it.

Wen Li had no idea that Bai Yanci had put this thing on himself.

Bai Yanci would not bring up this matter on his own initiative.

"Yes, thanks to you," Bai Yanci smiled faintly at Wen Li. Her pale face looked charming, both fragile and beautiful.

Seeing this made Wen Li's heart pound and her cheeks flush.

Bai Yanci had noticed her unusual reaction long ago, and pulled her slightly cool hand to his cheek.

Bai Yanci's body temperature was still hot, an unusually intense heat.

He rubbed his hand against Wen Li's palm, then looked up, his eyes glistening with tears, and whispered, "Could you come a little closer?"

"Ok?"

Wen Li thought he had something to say to her, so she moved her cheek closer to him.

Bai Yanci propped himself up, gently cupped her cheek with his other hand, placed a light kiss on her lips, and then withdrew.

Wen Li blinked.

Bai Yanci just looked at her without saying a word, but everything was understood without being spoken.

Wen Li realized what was happening and quickly shook her head: "No, you're sick right now."

Bai Yanci kissed her fingers: "It won't have any effect, trust me."

“…Okay?”

He gently took Wen Li's finger into his mouth, his nimble tongue swirling around it.

Those green eyes seemed to possess endless magic, drawing Wen Li down.

She nodded as if possessed and replied, "Okay."

The next day, Wen Li was not sick, but Bai Yanci's illness had not improved; in fact, it had become more serious.
