Chapter 296: Is There Really Such a Good Thing?

With just a few steps, Zhu Xiu quickly arrived at Bai Wanwan's bedside.

"Wan Wan just gave birth. Take The Cubs to their nest and let her rest for a while longer."

Yan Lie was also worried that the several Cubs would tire Wan Wan out. He immediately stood up, carefully cradling his own cub, and walked toward the little nest for The Cubs with a look of happiness and satisfaction.

After Yan Lie left with The Cubs, Zhu Xiu sat down by the bedside.

Taking hold of her hand resting by her side, his cool voice was tinged with concern. "Are you uncomfortable?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head at him. "I'm not. I also have some good news to tell you."

"Mm, what is it?"

"Come closer." Her eyes curved as she winked at him.

How could Zhu Xiu refuse her like this? With a look of indulgence on his face, he quickly lowered his head.

Bai Wanwan released his hand and raised both of hers to wrap around his neck. She leaned into his ear and said with a smile in her voice, "Zhu Xiu, your dark curse can be lifted!"

The two of them were inches apart, their breaths mingling.

Zhu Xiu's reddish eyes stared fixedly at her, his throat feeling a bit dry. "How can it be lifted?"

Even though Wan Wan had mentioned this to him before, he still found it hard to believe.

He had traveled to many places just to inquire about a way to lift the dark curse.

Actually lifting it was fraught with difficulties.

In the past, he had even prepared for the worst—killing himself before he turned into a mindless beast.

After meeting Wan Wan, he desperately hoped he could lift the curse so he could stay by her side forever.

Now that this day was truly arriving, he felt everything was too easy—so easy it felt unreal.

Bai Wanwan's eyebrows rose with excitement, and she looked at him with a smile. "I know you still don't quite believe I can really help you lift it. It's okay. Just give me one minute, and you'll know whether I can or not."

Zhu Xiu stared at her opening and closing red lips and took a deep breath. "Alright, I believe you."

"Just wait."

Bai Wanwan was about to ask peanut how to exchange for it.

Her wrist was suddenly caught by Zhu Xiu. "Lifting the curse for me... will you really not be harmed?"

"Really! If I were going to be harmed, I would have gone with you to find energy stones. After all, I want to live well and stay with you all forever!"

She didn't consider herself that noble. If she had to sacrifice herself or get hurt to lift Zhu Xiu's curse, she would have honestly looked for energy stones instead.

There was no need for such a tragic romance.

Zhu Xiu's gaze swept back and forth across her face, seemingly trying to discern the truth of her words.

Without waiting for him to confirm, Bai Wanwan spoke directly: "Really, believe me. Just wait a moment."

As she spoke, she swiped open the screen again.

At the same time, she communicated with the system using her mind.

"peanut, you said before that lifting Zhu Xiu's curse requires 120,000 points. Now my balance is sufficient. What do I need to exchange to help him?"

The system quickly replied: "Host, open the medicine column."

Bai Wanwan did as it said and opened the medicine column. Sure enough, she saw that the previously grey exchange button had turned green.

"Host, click to exchange for the Dissipation Pill. Feed it to him, and the dark curse on him can be eliminated."

Almost as soon as peanut's voice faded, Bai Wanwan's finger pressed the exchange button.

A red pill appeared in her palm, only about the size of a peanut.

So expensive... such a small thing actually cost 120,000 points.

But thinking of its effect, she felt it was worth it.

"Open your mouth."

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she stuffed the red pill into his slightly parted lips.

"This is very expensive, swallow it quickly."

Even if she were feeding him poison, Zhu Xiu wouldn't hesitate. With a roll of his throat, the pill slid into his stomach.

Next, it felt as if a warm current was surging in his abdomen.

Bai Wanwan stared at him nervously. "How is it?"

Zhu Xiu was carefully experiencing it. That warm current was crashing around inside his body, but every time it finished surging through a place, his body felt a bit more comfortable.

Gradually, his whole body was bathed in warmth and comfort. No one noticed that the Innate Ability within his body was rapidly increasing...

"It feels... very good."

His voice was slightly hoarse, carrying a seductive quality.

Bai Wanwan stared at his closed eyes, his slightly furrowed brow, and that high bridge of his nose.

How could every feature be so perfectly placed, as if they were grown exactly to her aesthetic preferences?

Bai Wanwan's hands felt itchy; she really wanted to reach out and touch him.

But seeing his expression, she forced herself not to act rashly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were even brighter than usual.

Bai Wanwan's heart leaped into her throat, and she quickly asked, "How is it? Is the curse lifted?"

Zhu Xiu looked down at the nervous Little Female in front of him, his heart filled with complex emotions.

The dark curse that had plagued him for years, a curse power that even the Super Tribe Clan Witch was helpless against, Wan Wan had actually lifted it for him so easily...

She had such an ability, and she was a Sacred Female...

Zhu Xiu felt as if he were holding a priceless treasure, with beastmen coveting it from all directions.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Mm, it's lifted." A trace of a smile curled at the corners of his mouth to soothe her heart.

"Really?"

The light in Bai Wanwan's eyes was brilliant. "That's great! Now I don't have to worry about you being consumed by the curse's backlash anymore."

"Mm, I made you worry. In the future... it will never happen again."

After saying that, he stared at the tempting red lips before him and kissed them.

He lingered and ground against them, but with more tenderness and affection than before.

Bai Wanwan was also stirred by his kiss, her hand pressing against his abdominal muscles.

Sensing the Male's breathing grow heavy, she chuckled mischievously.

Zhu Xiu gave her a light nip, then caught her troublemaking hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, don't be naughty."

Bai Wanwan was in the mood and wanted to tell him her body was special and wouldn't be affected at all.

She clung to him like a spoiled cub.

"No, I've recovered."

As she spoke, she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

Zhu Xiu was helpless and indulgently held her waist tight.

After a moment of intimacy, although they didn't cross the final line, Bai Wanwan's restless heart calmed down quite a bit.

Seeing her dazed look, Zhu Xiu lowered his head to peck at her lips.

"Are you sleepy?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head, hugging his lean waist and resting her cheek against his broad chest.

"I'm not. I don't want to sleep right now; if I do, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhu Xiu's hand gently stroked her fair back. "Since you're not sleepy, then I also have a piece of good news for you."

Bai Wanwan looked up in surprise, meeting his smiling eyes.

"What good news? Tell me, tell me!"

Zhu Xiu lowered his head and whispered a few words into her ear.

The lazy smile on Bai Wanwan's face shifted, and her expression became quite colorful as Zhu Xiu spoke.

Then she looked at him in disbelief. "Really? Is there really such a good thing?"

Guess what the good news is?
