Chapter 1013 - 999: Deep Tenderness

When they were most in sync, Su Muyao’s nails left many marks on his chest and back.

She cried intensely as well.

Xie Guixue would even ask, "Do they make you cry like this too?"

At this moment, Su Muyao knew he was jealous.

Questions like these, of course, she couldn’t answer.

So he would torment her at full force.

This dream seemed different from normal dreams, too real.

It felt like a time reversal, as if they had returned to the point when Xie Guixue had just come back to the Demon Realm.

When Su Muyao woke up again, Xie Guixue naturally held her, his movements exceedingly gentle, his voice soft as if water could drip from it, unlike his usual cool demeanor.

His expression was one of complete satisfaction.

He also knew he had exhausted her over the past few days, and regaining his sanity, he was no longer cold toward her, instead, he was very tender.

He was particularly attentive to her, "Hungry? I just made some meat soup, get up and have some later."

"The conditions are simple, we can only eat a little of this first, then I’ll go hunting later."

Fortunately, the beasts they hunted before were enough to last them these few days.

However, food was running low.

Entering the Demon Realm, after his body transformed into the dark bloodline, he needed to replenish more energy.

And Su Muyao’s appetite had greatly increased in the past few days, needing more food and easily feeling hungry.

Su Muyao’s voice was hoarse, but her physical state was very good, somewhat revitalized.

She easily got hungry though.

She spoke, "I’ll wash up first, and eat after I’m done."

"Alright, the hot water is ready for you, the temperature is just right."

Xie Guixue knew her habits, had the water ready for her, poured it into the bathtub for her to wash up.

Originally, Su Muyao thought about bathing in the pond outside, but it was unsafe out there, and she didn’t want Xie Guixue to worry.

Xie Guixue wanted to hold her personally while she washed.

Su Muyao reached out to push him, "Um, I can do it myself."

Seeing her blushing, Xie Guixue softly said, "Which part do I not know?"

"When you’re exhausted, I help you wash too."

"Feeling shy now, huh?"

Su Muyao buried her head in his arms, "Not shy."

Xie Guixue was very agreeable at this moment, his temperament extremely good, willing to go along with her, "Alright, not shy, but let me serve you, alright?"

This time, Xie Guixue wasn’t as dominant as when making the contract, very gentle.

Giving Su Muyao the illusion of their first meeting, when he was still a pure Ice and Snow Beastman, not a Dark Beastman.

Su Muyao really couldn’t bear to reject him at all, but remembering his rope, her face turned red, "Then just bathing."

Xie Guixue knew he loved her deeply, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything."

As he spoke, Xie Guixue carefully placed Su Muyao in the bathtub, diligently washing her.

His actions were gentle but also testing.

Su Muyao grabbed Xie Guixue’s hand, "It... it’s enough."

Continuing to wash, she wouldn’t be able to get up and eat.

Holding Xie Guixue’s hand, Su Muyao realized how long and smooth his fingers were, distinctly jointed, like the most perfect artwork.

But she couldn’t help but think of how he...

Su Muyao closed her eyes, trying to calm her heartbeat.

Xie Guixue couldn’t resist, leaning down to lightly kiss her brow and eyes, "Okay."

Hearing him say okay, Su Muyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Guixue first wiped her hair, then carefully lifted her out to place on clean beast skin, beginning to dry her body.

Su Muyao was embarrassed, but Xie Guixue was very focused, as if conducting an extremely important task.

His movements were very gentle.

Once everything was done, he personally dressed Su Muyao.

Afterwards, Su Muyao brushed her teeth, Xie Guixue prepared porridge soup, planning to feed her personally.

"I can drink myself."

During the contract, Xie Guixue fed her, but this time was different.

"You drink too."

"I’m not hungry, I’ll comb your hair first."

Xie Guixue picked up a wooden comb, smoothing Su Muyao’s hair.

Her hair was long, smooth like silk, as Xie Guixue’s comb passed through it, gently touching it, completely enchanted.

"What kind of hairstyle do you want?"

Su Muyao paused, "You know different hairstyles?"

Before, he only knew one style, also learned on the spot.

"Yes, I can."

"Who did you practice with?"

Xie Guixue hesitated, fearing she’d misunderstand, explaining, "I practiced myself."

"There are some makeup and hairstyle books in the Nalan Family."

The Nalan Family was one of the top families in the Cang Beast Continent, with many records.

He only wanted to learn things to take care of her.

He didn’t expect one day to return to the Demon Realm.

Though somewhat out of practice, he could still comb and style her hair.

Su Muyao thought for a moment, "Can you do a braid?"

Xie Guixue nodded, "Yes."

Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "Then braid my hair, like this with a whisk, using a bow at the bottom."

Xie Guixue’s fingers, long and dexterous, expertly braided Su Muyao’s hair, tying a bow with a ribbon at the end.

Creating such a hairstyle, Su Muyao looked exceptionally beautiful and gentle.

Just by looking, Xie Guixue’s cool eyes darkened slightly.

He couldn’t help but want to hide her away.

But he suppressed this emotion.

Su Muyao carefully examined herself over the water tub, finding it truly pretty.

Then she glanced at Xie Guixue, asking, "Do you like it?"

"Yes, beautiful, very beautiful."

Su Muyao simply looked at Xie Guixue, wanting to ask him, after you wake up, will you still style my hair?

But she dared not ask.

Things seemed normal between them, but Su Muyao understood it was a dream, even though not a usual dream, similar to reality, but it was due to weakening Xie Guixue’s consciousness in reality.

She began to feel lose and gain.

Xie Guixue looked down at her vulnerable expression, even though she concealed it well, Xie Guixue understood.

He reached out to embrace her, "It’s my fault."

No matter what, letting his beloved female show such an expression was the male’s mistake.

"No, you’re great, don’t say that."

"By the way, how’s your body feeling, does it feel better?"

Though she knew she had healed his Spirit Sea, what Xie Guixue was exactly like, Su Muyao didn’t know.

She worried about his physical condition.

"Yes, whether it was the Spirit Sea’s upheaval or the Beast Power’s backlash, they’ve been resolved, I’m very well now, don’t worry."

With this, Su Muyao was relieved.

"Come, drink the soup first, don’t think about anything else."

Xie Guixue picked up the bowl nearby, wanting to feed her sip by sip.

He enjoyed doing these things.

Seeing a trace of soup at Su Muyao’s mouth corner, Xie Guixue leaned down, using his lips to clean it off.

Su Muyao’s heart throbbed intensely.

Ah, ah, ah...

Her heartbeat accelerated.

Su Muyao reflexively used her tongue to clean the soup at her mouth corner.

Unbeknownst to this, her actions made Xie Guixue’s gaze darken.

He pulled her onto his lap suddenly.

Letting her sit, focused on feeding her.

One bowl of soup was definitely not enough.

Xie Guixue continued feeding.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, I do."

Su Muyao had no idea what was up with Xie Guixue, always asking if she liked things.

Even the smallest things he asked about.

She somehow thought he seemed to lack a sense of security.
