Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

The temperature in the bedroom was slightly warmer than outside. Ruan Qiuqiu kept talking while preparing dinner. She said a lot and left out the part where the Fire Wolf Tribe’s demons picked on her. She only shared happy things.

“Little Yu, that’s the little boy that came to the cave today as our guest, told me that there’s wild ginseng in the forest…”

Once she got to the part about Grandpa Mo’s family, she joked, “I’m guessing that Mo Mao really likes eating fish and catnip…”

Although she said a lot, the wolf didn’t respond at all. Ruan Qiuqiu grew sad. She put the egg she had finished beating into the stone pot. It was only when she turned around that she found out the wolf seemed to have fallen unconscious.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his lips were moving. He seemed to be saying something. The black spots were spreading on his handsome face again.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s heart sank. She walked to the bed and planned on passing him spiritual energy.

She didn’t hear his weak voice until she got closer to him.

He was asking, “Are you cold?” She was probably very cold.

Ruan Qiuqiu froze in surprise for a long time before she recovered and realized what the wolf was saying. Her eyes became hot.

This stupid wolf seem stucked on the part of the story where she said she walked in the blizzard for a long time.

It had been so windy today and she ended up accidentally eating a lot of snow, but she had glossed that part over and only said the snow was heavy and it was hard to walk in it.

Ruan Qiuqiu knew that he couldn’t see her, but she still shook her head. “I’m not cold. Mr. Food Reserve, I’m not cold.”

She repeated that several times and the wolf seemed to be relieved and fell fully unconscious.

Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She picked up the fiend core and was about to pass on the altered spiritual energy like before.

Actually, she did find the situation somewhat strange. Her ability had improved, and she could condense more healing water than before. Based on the healing effect of the water droplets when she had first met him, he should have gotten a little better by now.

However, not only did the fiend energy in his body not decrease, it was increasing. It was getting to the point where she almost couldn’t help him suppress it.

Could it be that this fiend energy wasn’t from that fiend, but something that existed in Mr. Gray Wolf’s body?

What if… What if he couldn’t get better?

As soon as that idea popped up, Ruan Qiuqiu quickly squashed it.

No, that won’t happen. It must be that her spiritual energy wasn’t enough right now. If she got more spiritual energy, he would definitely get better.

Ruan Qiuqiu bit her lip and passed him altered spiritual energy as she had done before.

However, this time, the fiend energy’s reaction was different. Instead of avoiding her altered spiritual energy, it sought it out and twined around it.

In the moment when the fiend energy and altered spiritual energy touched, Ruan Qiuqiu’s vision went black. It felt as if her left leg had been broken off under her knee. The pain was agonizing.

In addition, there were bursts of pain on her neck, waist, and lower abdomen. She felt a hunger that was many times worse than what she had previously felt.

Ruan Qiuqiu almost fainted from the pain. She lost her balance and fell on the edge of the stone bed. She felt as if warm blood was slowly flowing down from her back and the left leg that felt severed. The waves of pain were so bad that she couldn’t breath.

When she had cleared away the fiend energy that had entangled her altered spiritual energy, Ruan Qiuqiu slowly regained her vision. Her stomach that had been cramping in hunger felt better too, and she could feel the lower half of her left leg again. The sensation of blood flowing down her back was gone too.

She had a conjecture. She stood up, looked at Mr. Gray Wolf whose eyes were closed, and slowly lifted up the animal skin.

Seeing that his stump was slowly bleeding, Ruan Qiuqiu felt as if someone had squeezed her heart. As if to confirm something, she cautiously held his shoulder and reached out to touch his back.
