104: Chapter 104 Xin Feng Arrives

Chapter 14: Xin Feng Has Arrived

Bai Wanwan jumped directly off his back.

Just as he was about to chase after those Beastmen, Zhu Xiu sensed the lightness on his back and immediately turned his head around.

Seeing Bai Wanwan about to land, he swept his tail and caught her again.

This delay allowed the previous few Beastmen to escape far away.

"Ouch, Zhu Xiu, my leg hurts."

Worried that he would still go chasing, Bai Wanwan started whimpering.

She rolled around on his back, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

The mist swirling around Zhu Xiu seemed to freeze for a moment, then shot out like a sharp sword.

"Zhu Xiu, what are you doing?"

Bai Wanwan watched him nervously, then realized he wasn't chasing the Beastmen, but instead wrapping her up and quickly returning to the Cave.

He placed Bai Wanwan on the ground, lowered his head, and looked at her with his huge eyeballs.

Bai Wanwan noticed that the dark mist on her body was still thick, but he didn't seem to have any intention of harming her.

She tentatively reached out and touched his beast body, "Uh... I don't think it hurts anymore, don't worry."

Zhu Xiu seemed to understand, slid to her side, and let her lean against his beast body.

"Um, I want to sleep for a while..."

With Zhu Xiu's current unstable condition, her heart was fluttering.

After quickly closing her eyes, she immediately began summoning the System.

"peanut, peanut, come out."

The System's voice quickly came, "Host, I am here."

"I discovered I can soothe his agitated emotions. Every time he gets irritable, the black mist on his body becomes very thick, but after I calm him down, the black mist clearly fades. What is going on?"

"This is a good thing. It shows he is willing to trust you. Beastmen afflicted by the dark curse can lose control at any moment and find it hard to trust any Beast. If this Dark Energy is allowed to destroy the body, slowly, he will lose his own consciousness and truly devolve into a wild beast."

The more she listened, the tighter Bai Wanwan's face wrinkled, "If I want to eliminate the dark curse for him, how many points are needed?"

"At least over one hundred thousand..."

"Why don't you just rob someone?" Bai Wanwan cursed it, then added, "If you don't rob, you're even more detestable. You put a clear price on it, making me willingly give it to you."

She counted on her fingers; if she didn't spend any points, she would still need to give birth to at least two or three more Cubs.

"The dark curse is a kind of rule power in this world. Even a System that transcends this world must abide by the rules, which is why it requires a large amount of points."

"However, Host, your influence on him is very significant. You can often soothe his emotions and alleviate the negative effects of the dark curse on him. If he can overcome the dark curse himself, then you won't need to spend a single point."

"Oh? There's such a good thing?"

"Cough... There is a chance, but it's probably only one in ten thousand."

One in ten thousand... Heh, then it's better to just say there's no hope.

After learning about the dark curse from peanut, Bai Wanwan started saying nice things at every turn, hugging and clinging to him.

The effect was truly obvious; after two days, the black mist on his body was almost invisible.

But a new problem arose: Zhu Xiu seemed to have latched onto her and wouldn't leave her side for a moment.

Even when she needed to relieve herself, he had to stand guard nearby.

She was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole.

Several times she wanted to slip away to see if Xin Feng had come looking for her, but Zhu Xiu never left her side.

With him acting like this, even if Xin Feng was nearby, she couldn't meet him.

She patiently endured it, knowing she couldn't afford to argue with a sick Beast, so she had to use a little trick.

"Zhu Xiu, I want to eat fish. Can you go catch some for me?"

Zhu Xiu didn't respond. Bai Wanwan immediately leaned forward, struggling to wrap her arms around his head, "Look at this Cave, it's broken and small. I'm not comfortable living here at all, but none of that matters, as long as I can be with you. Can you really not grant me this small wish to eat fish?"

Zhu Xiu stopped moving, wrapped her with his tail, and slowly lifted her up in front of him.

From their time together over the past two days, even though Zhu Xiu's eyeballs were still pitch black, she wasn't scared at all.

Because she could clearly feel Zhu Xiu's favoritism towards her. His beast body was enormous, yet every time he approached her, his movements were very gentle, as if afraid of hurting her.

From those pitch-black eyes, she read a trace of helplessness. After a pause, he carefully carried her and swam towards the outside.

"Wait... I'm tired and want to sleep. I'll wait for you in the Cave. Go quickly and come back soon."

Zhu Xiu stopped moving and looked back at her, seemingly hesitating.

Bai Wanwan yawned, half-closed her eyes, and waved at him, "So sleepy. Go quickly. I'll wake up just in time to eat fish."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and started pretending to sleep.

After a while, she felt Zhu Xiu lift her up and place her on the soft, large bed next to him. He even lifted the blanket with his tail to cover her.

Bai Wanwan slowed her breathing and quietly listened to the sounds.

Sensing that his body had moved away from her side, and feeling more light on her eyelids, Bai Wanwan quietly opened one eye.

He really left...

Just as she was about to open her eyes wide to look carefully, the Cave entrance was suddenly blocked by something, plunging the Cave into darkness.

Bai Wanwan quickly threw off the blanket and stood up, rushing to the Cave entrance and reaching out to touch.

A massive boulder sealed the entrance tightly. Even when she pushed with all her might, it didn't budge.

She had sent Zhu Xiu away so she could meet Xin Feng. Actually, she wasn't sure if Xin Feng was outside now, or if he had returned to the Black Dog Tribe to be with the Cubs.

Now look, she was locked alone in the dark Cave.

Looking inward, the empty Cave was pitch black, which was especially creepy.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...

She recited the Socialist Core Values. Suddenly, the boulder behind her moved.

Bai Wanwan immediately tilted her head and looked out through the gap between the Cliff and the stone.

"Zhu Xiu, are you back?"

As soon as she spoke, Xin Feng's voice came from outside, "Wan Wan, it's me."

Hearing Xin Feng's voice, Bai Wanwan shouted to him in surprise, "Xin Feng, quickly move the stone away."

"Okay, step aside first, lest I hurt you."

Bai Wanwan stepped back, accidentally kicking over some pots and pans.

These items were redeemed with points, just so she could live a little more comfortably in this Cave; it had cost her quite a few points.

The boulder was quickly moved away, and light illuminated the entrance again.

Xin Feng, wearing snow-white beast skin, tall and graceful, walked over in a few steps, locking her tightly in his embrace, "Wan Wan, did he hurt you?"

He hadn't been able to get close these past few days, afraid of alarming Zhu Xiu and being unable to steal Wan Wan away.

Through observation, he saw Zhu Xiu took very good care of Wan Wan.

But most of the time, he couldn't see Wan Wan, so he wasn't entirely sure.

"No, he's actually quite good to me."

"That's good. Let's go. While he's not here, I'll take you away."

Xin Feng put his arm around her waist and led her out.

"Wait..."
