337: Chapter 13 "Do you want me to hug you?"

Tang Longyan felt his heart skip a beat.

His pupils dilated slightly, staring at Yun Tiankai's slender, pale finger.

He hadn't expected her to choose him.

He shouldn't have shown his feelings for her.

Had she discovered his true feelings… or was she once again showing him favor on her own initiative?

Should he accept?

But—he would only bring her harm!

Tang Longyan opened his mouth, wanting to refuse.

But his voice seemed stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Fortunately, Yun Tiankai spoke first.

"I choose you to take me back; I don't need a Beast Husband anymore. I've found a way to survive!" She shook the handful of weeds in her hand, smiling brilliantly.

Tang Longyan let out a sudden sigh of relief, and, infected by her mood, he revealed a smile.

Yun Tiankai suddenly stopped smiling.

She stared straight at his face.

Tang Longyan subconsciously touched his face.

Was there something on it?

"Don't move!"

Yun Tiankai stood on tiptoe and reached out toward his face.

As if possessed, Tang Longyan didn't dodge; instead, he cooperatively leaned his face forward.

Yun Tiankai's slightly cool fingertips touched the area below his eyelids.

She plucked a dandelion seed that had stuck to his lower lashes.

Her gaze drifted slightly upward, captivated by his deep crimson pupils.

His upper and lower lashes were incredibly thick.

Up close, the color of his lashes wasn't pure black. It was a reddish-black that matched his eye color perfectly.

In Yun Tiankai's mind, red often represented bloodshed and slaughter.

Yet, Tang Longyan's eyes were clear and noble, like the most expensive gemstones in the world.

The kind that she couldn't afford, yet couldn't help but want to gaze at a little longer.

She suddenly felt that she had been a bit too confident before.

Even if she was a transmigrator just like the female leads in every book, it seemed—she was a little unworthy of him.

Yun Tiankai's gaze drifted down, landing on his cupid's bow.

With her eyes, she gently swept across his lips.

Then, she raised her eyes to look at him again.

Their eyes met.

After just one second, Tang Longyan straightened his body, putting distance between them again.

Yun Tiankai took a deep breath and let it all out at once.

She blew away the dandelion in her hand.

She was a little disappointed.

"Is what you said true?" Tang Longyan asked, watching the dandelion fly away.

He was afraid that she was just making up an excuse to trick him because she didn't want a Beast Husband.

"It's true! My hometown didn't have this kind of herb. I didn't expect the Barren Continent to have it!"

She casually pulled a different-looking weed from the bunch in her hand and shook it.

Her Existence Value had already risen to ten percent.

Conservatively estimated, she could live for another two months.

Tang Longyan's gaze landed on the grass in her hand.

For some reason, he said happily, "Then I'll help you pick more."

Behind them, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

Tang Longyan only then remembered the Male Beastman he had brought for the blind date with Yun Tiankai not far behind them.

He frowned slightly.

"You two, leave!"

He gave no reason.

But the two Male Beastmen understood immediately, instantly transforming into their Beast Forms.

A goat and a bear ran off into the distance like the wind.

After running to a distance where they thought Tang Longyan couldn't possibly hear them.

Sheep Tribe Beastman: "Does Lord Longyan like that Female Beastman?"

Bear Tribe Beastman: "That Female Beastman looks like she likes Lord Longyan too!"

"Then why did he ask us to come?"

The Sheep Tribe Beastman didn't answer.

A moment later, they both shouted in unison: "Are you crazy?!"

---

Tang Longyan learned that the grass was useful for Yun Tiankai's illness, so he accompanied her to pick some more for a while.

Seeing that they had finished picking here, he flew off to pick some elsewhere.

Yun Tiankai was fully focused and didn't realize he had left.

She picked and listed items for sale at the same time.

Dikela and Zi Tan accepted everything.

The "clinking" sound of gold coins constantly rang in her mind.

Yun Tiankai was like someone who had been injected with adrenaline, the more she worked, the more energetic she became.

She even used points to exchange for linen bags, gloves, and a sickle in the mall.

By the time she was too tired to swing the sickle again and looked up, she realized the meadow before her had been cleared completely, as if a swarm of locusts had passed through.

In the west, the daylight was gradually fading.

It's time to go back, she thought.

But she suddenly realized—Tang Longyan was gone.

"Lord Longyan!" she called out.

The only response was the chirping of birds on the branches.

"Lord Longyan! Lord Longyan!" She called out twice more in succession.

Still no response.

By now, it was about to get completely dark.

Yun Tiankai gripped her sickle, about to exchange for a lighting tool from the system.

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came.

Yun Tiankai looked up and saw a pair of black wings unfolding in mid-air.

Tang Longyan had excellent eyesight and found her location at a glance.

Furthermore, he saw a trace of panic in her eyes.

He dove down.

At the same time, a small shrub behind Yun Tiankai suddenly caught fire.

The firelight illuminated the surroundings, keeping Yun Tiankai from being in the darkness.

But at the same time, she was startled.

The sickle in her hand fell to the ground, and she subconsciously ran two steps toward him.

She nearly collided with him.

She stopped abruptly, lost her balance, and fell backward.

Tang Longyan reached out to her, but she didn't grab his hand, instead landing on her bottom on the ground.

Yun Tiankai: ...

She had almost staged the scene of being pulled into his arms.

Although she really liked Tang Longyan's appearance, now that she didn't need to rely on him to prolong her life, she felt it was better not to cause him any trouble.

After all—he had already ignored her N times of showing favor and testing the waters.

Just now, she had used the excuse of helping him remove the dandelion from his lashes, and they had been so close…

She had performed the "death green tea seduces the drunk male lead, male lead mistakes her for the female lead and kisses her" script!

But he still didn't-take-the-initiative!

This could only mean that he really-didn't-like-her!

It seems Zhu Zhu's words couldn't be fully trusted either.

Since he didn't like her, she shouldn't cause trouble for her savior.

Yun Tiankai patted her bottom and stood up from the ground.

"Shall we go home?"

As she spoke, she proactively turned into a little fox.

She jumped toward his embrace.

It was a pity—she had misjudged her jumping ability and bumped headfirst into his thigh.

Yun Tiankai was left dizzy by the hard muscles of his thigh.

In her panic, she grabbed his pants.

She instinctively tried to climb up.

Then, there was a "rip" sound.

His pants tore…

Yun Tiankai: ...

By the flickering firelight, Yun Tiankai could vaguely see his firm muscle lines beneath the inch-long tear.

She widened her eyes.

Aaaaaah! How did she bump into his thigh? And tore his pants!

If it had been a little to the side, she would have bumped into that place! Aaaaaah!

Yun Tiankai was incomparably grateful that foxes couldn't speak.

If she could speak, her screams would definitely be heard by Tang Longyan.

That would be even more embarrassing.

However, she forgot that even though foxes couldn't speak, they still made sounds and had various expressions and body movements.

Moreover—Tang Longyan's underling had a Beast Form that was also a fox.

He understood perfectly well what certain movements and expressions meant for a fox.

Yun Tiankai's current actions and expression meant—she was remorseful, and—a little shy.

Just as Yun Tiankai was hanging on his thigh, stuck in a dilemma.

A pair of large hands suddenly appeared in front of her.

His somewhat hoarse voice came, "Do you want me to carry you?"
