Chapter 213 – When she came to, the wolf had already wrapped his tail around her waist and brought her into his arms (2)
Not having spoken so much in such a long time, Yuan Jue’s voice was horribly deep and harse. The warm glow reflected off of the red pearl dangling from his neck hanging by the red string shattered the coldness in the room. “Were you forced into a contract with some fiends?”
Ruan Qiuqiu, “……”
It was the first time she heard him said so many words. She was taken aback a little then she looked at Mr. Gray Wolf, whose long lashes were fluttering and his eyes looking watery, in surprise.
When she finally processed what he had said, Ruan Qiuqiu could feel a softness in her heart. “Yes, it is with Grandma Ruyi.
“As I had mentioned to you before. It was about her master’s……” Ruan Qiuqiu walked up to him as she explained and sat down on the stone chair in front of the stone bed.
“……” Hearing “Grandma Ruyi’s master” coming out of her made the wolf feel worried.
He leaned forward some and his broad and warm palm reached forward. Bit by bit, following Ruan Qiuqiu’s sleeve, he precisely located her right hand.
His rough finger rubbed over the not-so-obvious red mark on her wrist and Ruan Qiuqiu felt an intolerable tingling feeling on her wrist. She couldn’t help but jerked her hand back a little.
Yuan Jue’s cheeks paled and his lips shut tightly.
He had probably misunderstood that she didn’t like to have contact with him or even worried that she would find him too abrupt. His heart ached a little and he wanted to take his hand back.
His motions were gentle the entire time. His finger ran over her wrist and Ruan Qiuqiu felt it tickling even more.
She shuddered and a blush crept onto her cheeks. She lifted her left hand and placed it over his sleeve that was retracting. With some shyness, she said, “… … its alright.”
She knew that he just wanted to check on the contract and nothing else.
A little bit of lights occurred in Yuan Jue’s eyes that had already turned red. He examined the content of the contract and relaxed gradually.
Ruan Qiuqiu looked up and noticed that Mr. Gray Wolf was becoming paler and paler and his look turned scary. Veins could be seen in the portion of his arm that was exposed as though the wolf was tolerating great anger and killer intent.
She noticed after the fact that Yuan Jue’s pretty eyes were no longer focusless like they were before.
They were not as bright as those of young Mr. Gray Wolf but they started to have a glow.
She looked at Mr. Gray Wolf’s handsome face that was more defined than when he was young. Looking at his eyelashes that were fluttering as though he was somewhat bothered by the light, a hopeful thought came to her. “Husband, can you start seeing a bit out of your eyes now?”
Nevertheless, she did not receive a respond from Mr. Gray Wolf for a long while.
“… … What is it? Are you not feeling well?” Ruan Qiuqiu, noticing that Mr. Gray Wolf’s large palm that was resting on her wrist were shaking uncontrollably and that his ears were flopped down over his head, was a little worried again.
Grandma Ruyi had mentioned that a half-fiend-half-demon undergoing demonization would experience excruciating pain every second. She would like to alleviate that as much as possible.
Ruan Qiuqiu looked over at Yuan Jue when she was done talking. She was surprised to see the sadness coming from Yuan Jue’s long and narrow eyes. His eyes turned red bit by bit and quickly became misty and moistened his dark and long eyelashes.
Ruan Qiuqiu could feel warm water droplets on her hand. They came from the wolf.
Bit by bit, they fell onto her hand.
Ruan Qiuqiu widened her eyes and seemed to have figured something out. Somewhat panicked and in an uncoordinated way, she stood up from the stone chair, bend over slightly, and picked up a animal skin handkerchief wanting to wipe his tears away.
She comforted him, as though full of confidence. “Grandma Ruyi is very nice and Grandpa Mo also. Tianxiu and the others will help us out too.”
Ruan Qiuqiu tried to make herself look relaxed. Sitting next to Mr. Gray Wolf, she smiled and said, “Grandma Ruyi’s master sounds like a demon who was about to turn into demon king. He sounds somewhat scary…. As long as we are in hiding though, he will not be able to find u……”
She wasn’t even able to finish saying “us” when she felt weight around her waist and a force that brought her sideway.
Images in front of her shook a little and the tip of her nose fall into something solid. It was Yuan Jue’s chest and she was quickly enveloped by Yuan Jue’s scent.
By the time she had recollected herself, she already had the wolf’s furry big tail around her waist and she was pressed gently into his chest.
