Du Yu stared at her for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Wanwan, you really are different from those useless females."

He loosened his grip on her wrist and instead put his arm around her waist.

His warm, moist tongue swept across the bloodstains on her neck, and feeling her trembling slightly in his arms, his troubled mood instantly improved.

"Little female, you win."

He hooked her chin, his fingertips lightly caressing the corner of her lips, his tone laced with a lazy, playful air.

"I admit, I really don't want to kill you, but..."

He glanced down at the ground, at the pair of blue vertical pupils staring intently at him.

With a slight smile, he suddenly lowered his head and fiercely sealed the little female's lips with his.

"Well……"

Xu Wan's pupils contracted sharply, swallowing all the gasps of surprise.

She tried to push him away by placing her hands on his chest, but the hands around her waist remained firmly in place.

The shouts of Zhuyou in my ears became both distant and near, as if separated by a layer of fog, making them difficult to hear clearly.

All I could see were his slightly trembling eyelashes and the undisguised, wicked smile in his eyes.

She glared at him fiercely and bit his lip.

The stench of blood exploded in their mouths, but Du Yu didn't even flinch.

He held the back of her neck and kissed her even more deeply than before.

The kiss didn't end until I felt like all the oxygen in my chest was being taken away.

Du Yu brushed the bloodstains on the corner of her lips with his fingertips, then rolled them away with the tip of his tongue, his tone still revealing a hint of lingering satisfaction.

"Hiss... You heartless little female, you even bit me until I bled."

She lowered her eyes, the corners of which were still red, yet held a layer of ambiguous moisture.

His thin lips parted slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily as he recalled the sensation of the kiss.

It was rare to see her so docile, and the satisfaction in my heart was even greater than when I strangled my opponent in the arena.

I bent down, wanting to spend a little more time with her, when I heard her squeeze out a few words, her breath unsteady.

"Then, then don't kiss me..."

He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly and kissed the corner of her lips again.

"Too late, they've already kissed."

"you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yu released his grip on her waist and watched her fall from the sky with a smile.

Xu Wan didn't even have time to react. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, her body felt as if all its support had been removed.

The smiling face of Du Yu in my vision was rapidly blurring, and everything was turned upside down.

"ah!!!"

She frantically tried to grab something in the air, but only managed to let the air slip through her fingers.

Only then did she belatedly realize that Du Yu had truly let go.

"Watari! You're a madman!"

"Wanwan!"

A blue shadow bounced up from the ground.

In a dizzying moment, a pair of strong arms tightened around her waist, pulling her steadily into their embrace.

The feeling of weightlessness as she fell was cut off, and she hugged Zhu You tightly around the neck, burying her face in his strong and powerful chest.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid."

When she was gently placed on the ground, her legs were still weak, and she bent down with little strength, but Zhu You caught her in time.

Her heart was pounding like a drum. She gripped Zhu You's arm tightly, her mind filled with only four words: She was still alive.

Looking down at the two people on the ground, the smile that had been on Du Yu's lips faded a little.

He knew, of course, that useless snake would catch her.

But seeing how close the two of them were, he regretted throwing her down.

"Wanwan."

A small gust of wind exploded in front of them, scattering pebbles and grass clippings everywhere.

She instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again to look at the sky, Du Yu had already transformed into a beast.

Huge black wings unfurled behind him, shimmering with iridescent colors in the sunlight, like poisoned glass.

"The position of First Beast Husband can only be mine. If it goes to someone else..."

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at her, his dark eyes reflecting the image of her being held in someone's arms.

"I will kill them."

His tone was light and casual, but it made Xu Wan's heart tighten, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhu You beside her.

"Little female, we'll meet again..."

As the sound faded into the distance, she watched Du Yu's figure completely disappear from sight before slowly letting out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the price of provoking a madman is something she can't afford now.

She turned her head and realized that Zhu You had been watching her the whole time.

His gaze started from her face and slowly slid down.

Her hair was disheveled, her nose was covered in dust, her animal skin skirt was scratched in many places, and she had several abrasions on her body.

With each glance, the worry and self-reproach in his eyes deepened.

He dared not imagine what she had gone through during the two days they were apart.

Finally, his gaze fell on the wound on her neck.

She got injured while protecting herself, and he could only watch helplessly.

"Wanwan." His voice was hoarse beyond belief.

Seeing him like this, Xu Wan felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand, and the pain made her even breathe lightly.

I wanted to make sure I looked presentable before going to see him, but I never expected to end up in such a disheveled state.

She held his hand, wanting to say a few words of comfort.

"Zhuyou, I'm alright..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu You pulled her tightly into his arms. His arms were so tight that she could feel him trembling.

His warm breath fell on her neck, damp with moisture, and his tone was full of relief at having found what he had lost.

"Wanwan, thank you..."

Thank you for being alive, thank you for letting me find you, thank you... for your steadfast choice of me.

He didn't say it aloud, but he knew she understood.

Zhu You's emotions were so intense that Xu Wan felt as if she had been burned. She opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

After a long while, she raised her arm, patted his back, and spoke softly.

"Zhu You, I'm really alright now."

"……Um."

He responded, but didn't loosen his grip on her.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry."

Hearing his apology, Xu Wan was taken aback, then smiled.

"It's not your fault. I ran away without telling you, so I'm the one who should apologize."

She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, how are the rabbit spirits and the gathering team?"

"The females are fine, they've all been sent back to the tribe, but the security team lost two males."

"Send them back to the tribe?"

Her heart skipped a beat. "So, Hu Jiu and Chen Shuang also know I'm missing?"

"Chen Shuang doesn't know, he's still in his prime, I'm afraid he'll lose control and go crazy."

He paused, "The beastmen of Fox Valley and the Holy Female are all looking for you, and the chieftain has also sent people to accompany us."

"My mother must be very worried."

She took his hand. "Let's go back quickly, don't keep them waiting."

He nodded, but as soon as he took a step, he swayed.

He gritted his teeth, trying to hold on, but his body couldn't help but lean forward, and he ended up kneeling on the ground.

"Candlelight in the Dark!"

She quickly helped him up, and only then did she see the dark circles under his eyes and his chapped lips.

He had many wounds, large and small, some of which had torn open and were bleeding.

"you……"

It's all her fault. She shouldn't have run around like that, and she shouldn't have assumed that he was fine just because he seemed okay.

No, we need to treat the illness first, but the spiritual spring water in the space is only the size of a fingernail, which is not enough at all!

do not care!

She cupped his face in her hands and said earnestly, "Zhuyou, I'm going to kiss you now, you can't refuse."
