Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

"roar!"

A roar erupted, and the black bear's eyes gleamed, as if it had spotted its prey.

The roars of beasts echoed in the cave, causing Chu Xunzhen and Nangong Yue's eardrums to ache.

"Sister, run! I'll hold it off."

Nangong Yue raised the long sword in her hand, enduring the pain in her back, and slowly stood up.

"No, Your Highness—"

Before Chu Xun could finish speaking, the black bear had already changed from slowly crawling to swooping down in one go.

A black bear with its gaping maw charged at the two of them.

The entire cave shook violently.

Just as the black bear was about to charge, Nangong Yue stood firmly in front of Chu Xunzhen, refusing to back down an inch.

"No!"

Nangong Yue raised his longsword, about to stab the black bear in the eye, but the next moment, his body froze.

The black bear was licking Chu Xunzhen's face.

"Little bear, what are you doing here?"

As Chu Xunzhen spoke, he stroked its head.

Nangong Yue couldn't believe it.

With a clang.

After loosening her grip on the long sword, Nangong Yue sat down directly.

A look of lingering fear flashed across his face, and his voice trembled: "Sister, do you know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen pulled away the black bear that was almost hugging her and said, "This little guy is my friend. He was injured when he was a puppy, and I treated him. I raised him for a while, but then his mother came looking for him, so I sent him back home."

Chu Xunzhen lowered her head and looked down, recalling the scene of Nangong Yue sacrificing herself to protect her just now, her eyes reddening.

If she hadn't recognized the big black bear, wouldn't His Highness have lost his life just now?

Her voice choked with emotion: "Your Highness, your wound has reopened. Let me see."

"It's alright. I'm just glad you're okay."

Nangong Yue smiled, then her face turned pale, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness!" Chu Xunzhen rushed over anxiously and hugged Nangong Yue.

"Sister, leave me here. You go outside with the black bear and ask for help." After saying this, Nangong Yue slowly closed her eyes.

Since black bears are found here, there must be an exit.

"No, shh..."

Chu Xunzhen placed her slender, jade-like fingers on Nangong Yue's lips, stopping him from continuing.

In a daze, Nangong Yue felt a chill on his back as a warm little hand cleaned the remaining blood from the wound on his back.

The warm touch from the woman's fingertips made Nangong Yue stiffen and her breathing become shallow.

Chu Xun had no idea what Nangong Yue was experiencing, feeling both hot and cold. She was re-bandaging Nangong Yue's reopened wound.

She bandaged it carefully and meticulously.

The black bear, for some unknown reason, ran into the depths of darkness.

Chu Xunzhen didn't have time to pay attention to it.

By the time I finished, it was getting dark.

A cold wind blew, and Chu Xunzhen shivered from the cold.

In the darkness, a furry bear paw suddenly emerged, cradling a huge honeycomb covered in honey in its paw.

A rich aroma of honey wafted from inside the honeycomb.

"For me? Thank you, Little Bear."

Chu Xunzhen finished speaking and took the beehive.

She tried a little, and it was delicious.

He scooped up some honey with his hand and smeared it on Nangong Yue's lips.

But his mouth did not open.

"Your Highness, please try some honey." Chu Xunzhen spoke softly, but Nangong Yue still frowned, her face even turning pale, and her body temperature dropping further.

Forgetting all restraint, Chu Xunzhen tasted some honey, then leaned down and pressed her lips to Nangong Yue's.

Chu Xunzhen used her tongue to pry open the other's teeth and passed the honey over.

The unconscious Nangong Yue seemed to be awakened by the sweetness. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she even stuck out her little tongue, clumsily responding and taking the initiative.

After a long while, Chu Xunzhen saw that the other person really couldn't eat anymore, so he stopped.

"Cold..." Nangong Yue trembled and began to curl up into a ball.

As night fell, a chill permeated the mountains, and the temperature in the cave dropped rapidly.

A cool breeze swept over the two of them, and they shivered, feeling a bone-chilling cold.

Chu Xunzhen was taken aback and was about to step forward to hug Nangong Yue, but her eyes suddenly swept over the "fuzzy" creature beside her, and she grinned.

"Little bear, please help me..."

A short while later, under Chu Xunzhen's expectant gaze, the big black bear lay down on the ground looking aggrieved, spreading its two paws out in a "big" shape, looking as if it were ready to die.

Nangong Yue was helped by Chu Xunzhen and placed next to the big black bear.

Seemingly feeling the warmth, Nangong Yue hugged the black bear tightly.

A fleeting hint of disdain crossed the black bear's almost human-like gaze. Yet, it still stretched out its furry arms and tightly embraced Nangong Yue.

When Chu Xunzhen lay in its arms, a hint of excitement flickered in its eyes, and it couldn't help but use its little paws to comb Chu Xunzhen's hair and gently stroke her head.

The big black bear, like a mountain king, was fast asleep, embracing his two "little wives" on either side.

early morning.

When Nangong Yue woke up, she was met with a pair of bear eyes that were as big as copper bells.

Suddenly, he was startled and almost drew his sword, but he quickly regained his senses.

This is the same black bear from yesterday.

Thinking back to how warm the fur had enveloped him last night, his ears turned red. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you, Brother Xiong."

The big black bear grunted and groaned for a while before finally sitting up.

Chu Xunzhen emerged from the other passage, her eyes filled with surprise and delight: "Your Highness, you're awake?"

"Sister, did you feed me honey last night?" As she spoke, a faint pink blush appeared on Nangong Yue's earlobe.

He vividly remembered the feeling of their lips touching.

My sister's lips are so soft; my sister's tongue is so agile.

"Your Highness, I had no intention of offending you."

Chu Xunzhen spoke, her eyes filled with a hint of shyness.

In the Gu Sect, she killed without blinking an eye, but with Nangong Yue, who only had the heart of a child, she could only be sincere.

Nangong Yue's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen's cascading black hair, and then on her beautiful face. His throat tightened.

He can't reveal it, he can't let her see that he's normal now.

At this moment, Nangong Yue was extremely grateful that he still had all the memories of when he fell ill. Otherwise, he would never have been able to call his own Holy Maiden "sister."

"It's alright."

Nangong Yue's voice was somewhat low.

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow, feeling that this voice was somewhat unlike Nangong Yue's usual self.

But considering that Nangong Yue had been seriously injured before and caught a chill last night, it was normal for her voice to change a bit.

"Your Highness, let me take a look at your wound."

"It's inconvenient," Nangong Yue said nervously. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell inquisitively on Nangong Yue's face. The beauty mark was still the same, but she seemed to have a completely different aura, as if the same skin was wrapped around a different soul.

"Has Your Highness recovered?" Chu Xunzhen asked inquiringly.

The Gu worm in his mind has gone into slumber?

The big black bear looked at Chu Xunzhen, then at Nangong Yue, grunted, and stuffed two large pieces of honey into each of their hands. It then stuck out its rump and wiggled, signaling the two to follow it.

Although Chu Xunzhen was puzzled, he decided to leave the place first.

She helped Nangong Yue walk forward.

As soon as the two people and the bear stepped out of the cave, they heard a high-pitched yet familiar voice.

"Your Highness, Anshun has finally found you." Anshun's excited voice rang out, but the next moment, his throat seemed to be choked, and he stared intently at the huge figure beside Chu Xunzhen.

The black bear is a creature even more terrifying and ferocious than a giant insect.

It actually stood right in front of him, looking at him fiercely, just like a human being.
