Chapter 839: Turns out the Real Beast is Her

In caves as dark and damp as this one, one is most likely to encounter poisonous spiders and snakes.

Those creatures, sometimes, can easily claim a life.

Baili Xia’s clothes were quickly and completely stripped off by Mu Xiaojiu.

A breeze blew in, her icy skin exposed to the wind, cold enough to make her shiver uncontrollably.

Because of the cold, she finally regained a bit of consciousness.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that not only had Uncle stripped her of her clothes, he was also removing his own.

Her heart brimmed with emotion, but upon seeing clearly what he was doing, that emotion turned into heart-wrenching disappointment.

In this place, under these circumstances, he had found her, and instead of comforting her first thing, he actually…

actually wanted to do that sort of thing with her!

How could he be like this, how could he be such a bastard!

“I don’t…” Her voice of resistance hadn’t fully articulated when, in the next second, she was tightly embraced by Mu Xiaojiu.

With a turn of his body, his broad form shielded her from the wind seeping in from the cave entrance.

His arms locked her into his embrace, a snug hold, with continuous warmth leaking from his strong chest into her body.

Looking down at her, he kissed her cold forehead and a husky voice flowed slowly from between his attractive, sensual lips,

“Don’t be afraid.

As soon as the rain stops, I will immediately take you back.”

“…” Baili Xia didn’t know what to say.

So he had intended to use his body heat to warm hers.

Just now, she had actually thought he…

Thought that he was so beastly as to disregard everything and want her right here.

It turned out that the real beast was herself.

Her small body instinctively curled into Mu Xiaojiu’s embrace, feeling a sourness in her heart, wanting to speak, but still not knowing what to say.

It had really been very cold, but now, with Uncle’s broad chest against her, suddenly it didn’t seem so cold at all.

His body was warm, and curling up in his arms felt very comforting…

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t just hold her; he also rubbed her cold shoulders with his large hand.

Only when he felt her small body gradually warming did he pull her tight into his embrace, and from the clothes he had taken off beside him, he searched for his mobile phone.

The phone was waterproof, and it hadn’t malfunctioned despite having been soaked in the rain.

However, tragically, there was no signal whatsoever in this place.

He sent a location message to Mu Xiaoyao, but due to no signal, it couldn’t be sent at all.

Nevertheless, as soon as they had a signal, his location would immediately be sent to Mu Xiaoyao’s phone.

So, having sent it, he didn’t bother with it any longer and casually threw the phone back onto the clothes.

His warm hand continued to massage Baili Xia’s arms and any place that was exposed.

Her body temperature kept rising, yet his palms remained cool.

Whenever a breeze blew in, chilling any part of her exposed skin, her small body couldn’t help but shiver lightly.

Every time she shivered, Mu Xiaojiu felt pained to death.

The wind from the cave entrance was too strong.

If it kept blowing like this, it would be hard to ensure that she wouldn’t become even sicker.

Finally, amidst another shiver from her, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly stood up holding her.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia called out, only to realize that her voice had become so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear.

Before he arrived, she really hadn’t noticed at all that she had gotten sick.

She just felt cold, very very cold.
