Chapter 1010 - 996: Obsession and Temptation

But while he said not to get close, in reality, Xie Guixue couldn’t control himself, instinctively yearning and longing to be near her.

The fragrant, sweet scent on her body was lethally attractive to him.

At this moment, Xie Guixue was extremely restraining himself, and a deep, hidden emotion erupted in his cold brows. Clearly, his Snow Soul Ice Heart, yet at this moment seemed to be enveloped and controlled by dark mist.

The whole person exuded an unusual aura.

"Gui Xue, what’s wrong with you?"

"Are you uncomfortable? Let me use the Wood Element Ability to help you."

Su Muyao didn’t understand what was wrong with Xie Guixue, and she was extremely anxious.

The more she was told not to approach, the more she wanted to get closer.

He obviously seemed unwell.

"Listen, don’t come close..."

"Quickly... leave..."

While he still had a hint of sanity, quickly leave.

That way, he wouldn’t hurt her.

Xie Guixue’s breathing was irregular, and because of his restraint, his chest pounded violently, his lean body seeming to contain extreme explosive power.

Su Muyao moved closer, and he involuntarily retreated, not daring to get close to her, even more to smell the strong pheromones in the air.

It was a scent unique to her, one he greedily engraved in his bones.

No matter how strong self-control he had, when his Spirit Sea rampaged uncontrollably and the Beast Power counterattacked, he had no resistance.

Rationality was slowly collapsing.

Su Muyao naturally didn’t know Xie Guixue’s thoughts, and she saw that his condition was wrong, worriedly with reddened eyes, "Gui Xue, tell me, what’s wrong with you?"

"Don’t have an accident, I can’t be without you."

Su Muyao now felt that Xie Guixue’s cold nature made it so difficult for him to express his thoughts and say what was in his heart.

If she had a disposition like his, the two might not even be able to communicate.

Therefore, she had to take the initiative to express her inner thoughts.

To like and love, one must speak it, so the other person knows.

"Let me help you, okay?"

"Gui Xue..."

Su Muyao became choked by emotion as she spoke.

But Xie Guixue had greater strength than her, and he evaded her touches so quickly that even when she got close to him, she hadn’t touched his clothes.

Su Muyao was baffled by his stubbornness.

And he was injured all over, blood dripping from his arm and fingers.

The cave smelled faintly of blood.

Moreover, his blood carried a cold scent of wind and snow, not like a bloody smell.

This cold snow-scented blood gradually became fatally alluring to her.

"I know there are things from the past you’re still blaming me for."

"Also, do you think I’m with other Beast Husbands...?"

Su Muyao remembered contracting with Jing Chu, going under the tree to see him, yet he left without a word. Was that something he cared about?

After contracting with her last night, he wasn’t as cold and unfeeling, was he?

Or did the Heartless Path have issues?

He might feel a bit of jealousy.

Before entering the dream, the system informed her of a few things.

"Cultivating the Heartless Path makes one cold-hearted and unemotional; the stronger you grow, the fewer emotions you’ll have."

"If you want Xie Guixue to care more about you in the dream, you need to provoke him, stir his emotions..."

Actually, Su Muyao was reluctant to provoke Xie Guixue.

But now, he was avoiding her too much, she couldn’t get close to him, nor use the Wood Element Ability to heal him, naturally making her anxious.

She spoke many words and didn’t even know what she was specifically saying.

But as soon as she uttered this sentence, Xie Guixue’s icy eyes darkened, and his aura transformed significantly.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her over, flipping her over, pressing her between the cave wall and himself.

Securing her tightly, before she realized, his lips descended.

"Mmm..."

Unprepared, Xie Guixue’s fierce aura broke in.

One hand clasped her jaw, making it easier for him to infuse all his essence.

Dominant and aggressive.

Too dominant; it lasted too long, and she gradually struggled to breathe.

Completely unlike Xie Guixue’s usually cold demeanor, such a stark contrast.

Her pheromones and spiritual power uncontrollably poured out.

Her body quickly softened.

She realized, compared to last night, his technique seemed even better, making her feel very satisfied, her mind seeming to burst with fireworks.

Nevertheless, Su Muyao tried to maintain a sliver of rationality to heal Xie Guixue’s injuries.

Letting his wounds heal quickly, no longer bleeding.

"Distracted, doing something else, seems it’s my fault for not satisfying you."

In whispered conversations, Xie Guixue’s icy eyes were deep and dark, seemingly ready to devour her whole.

Taking advantage of him speaking, Su Muyao quickly grasped the air, breathing heavily, fearing she might actually suffocate.

Her face was pale at this moment, really from struggling to breathe just now.

But in Xie Guixue’s darkened eyes, it held a different meaning.

"Afraid of me releasing instinct on you?"

"No, no, no, nothing like that."

She wasn’t afraid, instead feeling somewhat excited inwardly, why did she like Xie Guixue treating her like this.

Because such a Xie Guixue allowed her to genuinely feel his care for her.

His usual cold demeanor meant she couldn’t feel his love and concern.

His eyes grew darker, cold aura mingled with more seductive scents. His fingers lightly wiped away tears on her cheeks, hoarsely murmuring: "Don’t be afraid, I’m not going to kill you."

"But last night wasn’t enough."

Last night he wasn’t satiated at all.

For a Pure Blood Dark Beast, that’s not nearly sufficient.

Su Muyao felt the warmth of his fingers, even as his voice was gentle; his presence was overwhelmingly firm.

Especially the eyes like ice crystals held turbulent undercurrents.

Su Muyao softly asked: "Is something wrong with your Spirit Sea?"

"Let me help soothe your Spirit Sea."

Xie Guixue suddenly clasped her throat, "Thinking of other things?"

Su Muyao shook her head, "No... nothing."

"It’s just the first time we contracted, your body had issues, so it left me with a psychological shadow."

Listening to Su Muyao’s words, Xie Guixue’s expression faltered, seemingly battling something in his mind, his grip loosened, but continued to confine Su Muyao, though he recalled the first contracting scene.

He smiled coldly, "That time was truly foolish."

"I should have tied you up then."

Tied her up so she wouldn’t escape.

He wouldn’t wake up losing memory, his wife gone.

Indeed, he shouldn’t suppress the dark aura within his bones.

See, his wife is more obedient now.

Uh...

Su Muyao’s heart unconsciously fluttered; she didn’t expect he could say such things.

But she thought, back then Xie Guixue seemed to have a dual personality too.

Did his deeper nature want to treat her like this?

Transformation happened due to obsession.

Would fulfilling his obsession make things better?

"Do you want to tie me up now?"

"If so, it’s really alright."

As compensation for how she treated him back then, deep down she felt guilt for how she acted.

At that time, she had just arrived in the Beast World, struggling to adapt to everything, her nature not yet perfect.

She valued pride more.

Now, having gone through much, her mindset became more peaceful, reflecting on past actions realizing many wrongs.

If given another chance, no matter how Master Xie pressed her, she shouldn’t have treated him that way nor voided the contract with him.

Actually, amid it all, he might’ve suffered the most.

His mother’s acts in the name of love hurt him too.

His father took him back to the Nalan Family, only to cast him out because of his dark blood.

Experiencing these, it must have been tough for him.

She wasn’t there for him either.

This time, she would treat him well, hoping only to bring him happiness.

Su Muyao did not realize that her words were extremely tempting to Xie Guixue.

So much so that his fingers moved, somehow conjuring a rope from nowhere.
