Outside the cave, Ruan Qiuqiu, who was flustered over Mo Yu’s words, instinctively looked into the cave and explained in a ruffled manner, “Shh… You can’t casually say that type of thing.”
Mo Yu scratched his head and nodded. “… Oh.”
Mo Yu saw that Ruan Qiuqiu was blushing. Confused, he said, “Being intimate isn’t that big of a deal, right? I’m often intimate with Bohe. She likes to pull my hand too.”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…” Does pulling someone’s hand count as being intimate?
She looked at Mo Yu’s pure eyes and felt like her mind was in the gutter.
“This…” Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t know how to explain. “The intimacy between adults is not the same as the intimacy between children.”
Mo Yu: “?”
Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”
She sighed and could only take out the phrase that she had heard the most when she was a child. “You’ll understand when you’re older.”
Mo Yu: “…”
He pouted, but he was still sensible enough to not continue asking.
Ruan Qiuqiu raised her hand and weakly pressed her heated cheek. “Little Yu, wait here for me. I’ll come back out soon.”
Mo Yu obediently nodded. Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t delay any further and headed towards the bedroom.
As the sound of footsteps got closer and closer, Yuan Jue’s face got redder and redder.
He tried his best to control his breathing so that it was even and calm, pretending to be a Sleeping Beauty wolf.
However, the moment that Ruan Qiuqiu lifted the animal skin curtain, she noticed that there was something off.
Mr. Food Reserve’s breathing was very heavy as if he was about to start gasping. The fur on his ears and tail were standing up, and his face was extremely red. His scarred handsome face was covered in sweat.
“Oh no.” Ruan Qiuqiu’s heart leapt up in alarm. She strode over to the stone bed and did what she had done many times in the past few days, place her hand on Mr. Gray Wolf’s head to check his temperature.
Her hand was very cold and seemed as if it had immediately lowered the heat on his forehead, but it also seemed as if her touch had increased the heat in his body.
When Ruan Qiuqiu had gotten close to him, Yuan Jue suddenly smelled the faint scent of dried blood. He could smell that she wasn’t injured badly. She had probably used her spiritual energy to heal herself and cleaned off most of the blood, so the scent of dried blood was almost completely hidden by Little Yu’s scent and he didn’t immediately notice.
Yuan Jue clenched his big hands, which were underneath the animal skin. The guilt and self-blame was like having a basin of cold water dumped onto him, instantly extinguishing the heat.
She had just gone out and got injured. How did she get injured? Where was she injured? Who hurt her? Was it a beast from the nearby forest? Or was it a wolf demon from the Fire Wolf Tribe?
As soon as Yuan Jue thought of that possibility, he felt incomparably angry and abhorrence. His expression became vicious too.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw his ugly expression and thought it was from pain. She was extremely worried.
She checked on the almost transparent fiend core and the three small wooden cups. When she found out that the cups were empty, she was even more worried. It was only after she confirmed that although Mr. Gray Wolf’s expression was twisted, the fiend energy wasn’t moving in Mr. Gray Wolf that she finally relaxed a bit.
“Fortunately, the fever is gone.” She wryly smiled and hesitated for a moment before deciding to condense more healing water to leave at home just in case before leaving the cave. This meant that she would have to ask Mo Yu to wait longer.
