Chapter 166 Eat Him?

Qiao Suluo’s expression shifted. “So the Power of Faith exists too. Does that mean the more Power of Faith I have, the stronger my Purification Power will become?”

The system replied, “That is correct. Furthermore, if the host forms a Contract with a Beast Husband, there are also rewards. Perhaps some superpowers can be upgraded as well.”

“I’ve already formed a Contract with my Beast Husbands.”

The system felt compelled to remind her, “There’s still Yue Hanzheng.”

At the mention of Yue Hanzheng, Qiao Suluo’s expression flickered.

Throughout the journey, Yue Hanzheng hadn’t spoken much, but just like Chu Moyuan and Bai Qianluo, he had done everything in his power to protect her. He had also worked hard to care for her meticulously. She had seen all of it. However, when it came to forming a Contract, she didn’t think Yue Hanzheng had that in mind. He probably only wanted to stay to repay her for healing his legs. Thinking of this, Qiao Suluo turned her head to look at him.

Little did she know, Yue Hanzheng’s gaze was already resting on her. His usually frosty features were no longer as cold as before, and the aura surrounding him seemed to have softened. The look in his eyes was like melting ice and snow, gleaming with a gentle warmth.

Qiao Suluo stared at him in a momentary daze. She had to admit that Yue Hanzheng was incredibly handsome. No wonder he was a Dog Night Beastman; he was just like Killing Life Pill. She recalled the anime she had loved watching since childhood in her previous life, specifically remembering how much she adored the aloof yet gentle Killing Life Pill. Now that Yue Hanzheng was no longer sharp-tongued, he had become both aloof and gentle. Sometimes, it truly struck a chord in her heart.

Yue Hanzheng stepped forward and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Are you exhausted, or are you feeling unwell?”

Qiao Suluo shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Although she claimed to be fine, Yue Hanzheng could see the exhaustion in her eyes. Leading the entire tribe on this migration to the North, Qiao Suluo had personally arranged almost everything for the journey. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t tired. She was simply too strong and never complained.

Yue Hanzheng fell silent for a moment before saying, “Wife, let me take you somewhere.”

Qiao Suluo asked curiously, “Where?”

“You’ll know when we get there. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you right back.”

His mysterious demeanor only made her more curious.

The system chimed in, “Host, agree to his offer. You’ve been traveling for so long and you’re worn out. You should relax when you have the chance.”

Heeding the system’s advice, Qiao Suluo nodded in agreement.

Seeing her accept, warm ripples spread across Yue Hanzheng’s amber-glass eyes. He stepped forward, gently wrapped his arm around her waist, and soared straight into the air. Like a gust of wind, he vanished from the spot with her in tow.

Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan watched the scene unfold but made no move to stop them. They had no standing to interfere anyway, as Yue Hanzheng was also their wife’s Beast Husband.

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, Chu Moyuan muttered, “Lately, our wife doesn’t reject Yue Hanzheng anymore.”

Bai Qianluo sighed. “Not only that, but she has also started to trust him. Otherwise, she would never go out with him alone.”

Qiao Sanlin chimed in, “My sister is so wonderful. Anyone with working eyes would see how great she is. Even though Yue Hanzheng doesn’t say much, he definitely likes her. That look in his eyes can’t be faked.”

More often than not, Yue Hanzheng’s attention was entirely focused on his sister. Of course, he personally believed his sister was the best female in the entire world.

Yue Hanzheng flew through the air with Qiao Suluo in his arms, soaring into the distance as if riding the clouds. Qiao Suluo’s body went stiff, and she didn’t dare move a muscle.

Noticing her stiffness, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. “Wife, you can hold on to me.”

“You… you don’t like other people touching you, right?” she asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, a pang of pain struck Yue Hanzheng’s chest. “I’m sorry. It was my fault in the past.” He paused for a second before adding, “I like you, Wife, so I hope you are willing to be close to me.”

He knew that if he didn’t express his feelings now, once they settled down in the North, who knew how many outstanding male Beastmen would flock to her side? Competing for her attention then might be even more difficult.

The system exclaimed excitedly, “Host, Yue Hanzheng likes you!

“With this, your mission in this world is basically complete. This world won’t collapse, and they won’t turn into villains.

“Of course, this affection needs to be maintained. If you leave them, they’ll be heavily provoked and turn into terrifying villains.”

Qiao Suluo asked, “Does that mean I have to stay in this world forever? Can I not return to my original world?

“I actually really want to go back and see my parents and brothers.” She had a family; she had grown up in a loving home.

The system reassured her, “Don’t worry. Once you grow stronger and I upgrade a few more times, I’ll accumulate enough energy points to send you back home for a visit.”

“Okay.” Knowing there was still a chance to return home, Qiao Suluo was thrilled.

Yue Hanzheng looked at the silent Qiao Suluo, his heart aching with a dull pain. If he had known he would fall in love with his wife, he would never have treated her the way he did in the beginning.

Soon, Yue Hanzheng brought Qiao Suluo to a valley. A gentle breeze blew past, carrying the sweet scent of flowers. She looked down and saw a valley filled entirely with hibiscus flowers.

“Are these hibiscus flowers?”

Yue Hanzheng held her as they gently landed. “Yes, they’re hibiscus flowers. I stumbled upon them by chance.” During the day, he had gone into the mountain forest to forage for food and accidentally discovered this place. Knowing that his wife liked flowers, he wanted to bring her here to see them.

Gazing at the sea of flowers, Qiao Suluo’s eyes filled with delight. “So beautiful!”

“Do you like them?”

She nodded earnestly. “I do.”

Yue Hanzheng let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you like them.”

Qiao Suluo reached out to gently touch the hibiscus flowers, her face beaming with a bright smile. She took a deep breath, involuntarily relaxing her entire body. Sitting down nearby, she patted the spot next to her. “Thank you. Have a seat and rest for a bit.”

“Okay.” Yue Hanzheng nodded and sat beside her. He wasn’t very good with words, and he had no idea what to say in this moment.

Qiao Suluo could sense his awkward restraint. She smiled and asked, “Yue Hanzheng, why do you like me? I wasn’t good to you before.”

Yue Hanzheng spoke softly, “I noticed that you are very different from before, Wife. You aren’t the same person from the past, are you?”

Qiao Suluo looked at him with wide-eyed surprise. She had to admit, every single one of them was incredibly sharp. “Aren’t you afraid?”

Yue Hanzheng shook his head. “I’m only afraid of my wife reverting to the person she used to be. No matter who or what you are, the one I like is the wife standing before me right now.”

“What if I’m a demon?” Qiao Suluo asked. “What if I eat Beastmen?”

Yue Hanzheng lowered his head and stared deeply at her, a faint luster shimmering in his glass-like eyes. “If you’d like, Wife, you can eat me.”

“You… you…”

Hearing those words, Qiao Suluo’s eyes widened in shock, rendering her completely speechless. Seeing Yue Hanzheng’s deadpan, serious expression made her face instantly flush with heat.
