Miao Xiaocui chirped a couple of times, "Don't be like this, I can't make decisions about this. Went, look..."
Went's expression was faint, "Silver Howl, aren't you going out of the city for something? Go now, you're not needed here anymore."
Silver Howl nodded, "Okay, we'll leave then." Including Silver Howl, there were three other males, all winged beasts.
Miao Xiaocui had gained quite a few mates over the years. Four were accompanying her out for a stroll, and four had gone hunting. Regardless, she had someone with her every day, living a comfortable life.
Miao Xiaocui sat on the back of one of her mates. As they left, she couldn't help but say to Went with concern, "Went, they're too pitiful. Give them a chance."
Went didn't respond. Silver Howl couldn't help but remind her, "Cui, you don't need to worry about us. Went will handle it."
He gave his 'brothers' another look, signaling them to fly away quickly.
The males understood implicitly and accelerated their flight, so fast that Miao Xiaocui couldn't even see them.
Miao Xiaocui: "..." She hoped those beastmen had good luck.
Far from the city gates, Miao Xiaocui pouted unhappily, "Aren't those people pitiful? Went won't heartlessly drive them away, will he?"
Silver Howl frowned, "Cui, that's not something we should worry about. We just need to live our own lives."
As he said this, Silver Howl's heart was in turmoil. If he couldn't tell who the Beast God's messenger was after all these years, he'd be incredibly foolish!
Whether it was Shu Yue or Shu Xin, it definitely wasn't Cui.
The prophecy the witch doctor spoke of only matched Shu Xin and Shu Yue. Shu Yue, when she went missing, was no longer the Shu Yue of before.
If anyone understood the former Shu Yue best, it was probably him.
In his memory, Shu Yue never smiled at anyone and never lowered her chin when speaking to others, always maintaining an air of superiority.
He was captivated by Shu Yue's beauty and doted on her no matter how flawed she was. However, Shu Yue became increasingly outrageous, arguing with others every day and making them cry. He was truly tired. He felt that no matter how beautiful a female with such character was, he wouldn't like her, so he left.
Now, looking at the current Shu Yue, there was no trace of her former self. Could a single blow change a person so completely? Not only change, but also acquire many skills they never had before.
Silver Howl dared to think, perhaps this wasn't the same person at all!
Miao Xiaocui was most impatient with his words now, saying with mockery, "You don't worry about anything, do you? Ah Yong was worse than you before, and now he's a hunting team leader. Look at yourself!"
Ah Yong was one of her mates, not among these four.
Silver Howl had nothing to say and responded with silence.
His heart was already fractured. With every 'brother' he gained, his heart cracked a little more. He could no longer distinguish himself, unsure if his leaving was due to love or responsibility.
Cui's pregnancy was a good thing, but the child wasn't his. The child was conceived during the time he was out searching for snow crystal fruit, and it belonged to someone else besides him.
It wasn't that he was heartbroken, but he was truly exhausted. Cui was also becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
The other members of the household could sense something between Silver Howl and Cui, but none of them intended to mediate. With so many men in the household, wasn't it good to have one less?
Miao Xiaocui was deliberately neglecting and retaliating against him. She hadn't shared a room with Silver Howl for about half a year.
When they went out today, Silver Howl remained an observer, helping to catch prey and roast meat.
Upon reaching their destination, Silver Howl dutifully went to prepare food for Miao Xiaocui.
However, when he returned with the prey and saw the scene of three males and one female playing and laughing, he clenched his fingers, his heart aching to the point of numbness.
...
...
On the other side, Went used force to dismiss the group of beastmen. With no one to bother them, they met with the stone as planned.
This stone was exceptionally beautiful, its surface clean, shiny, and smooth. Lying on it felt cool and just right.
Shu Yue said she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and suggested eating before exercising.
Went readily agreed, personally taking out the cooking utensils and filling a bowl with white paste for her.
After eating, Shu Yue wasn't full; instead, she was hungrier!
"Went, I want to eat..." food!
"I understand!" With grunts and effort, he filled another bowl of paste for her.
The paste was a good thing. Shu Yue ate it slowly, from early morning until the sun was high in the sky. Only when she was sweating profusely from eating did she finish.
But she was still not full. Shu Yue's stomach rumbled. Went zipped up his pants and said contentedly, "Yueyue, I'll go roast fish for you."
"..." Shu Yue watched his retreating back, her lips twitching. This feeling was a bit off!
However, it was very comfortable. It had been a long time since they had come out alone together. It was nice to have an outing occasionally.
Went was by the river, preparing the fish. Shu Yue put on her clothes and went to pick up dry firewood, as if they had returned to the time when they first met.
Sensing her gaze, Went looked back at her. They smiled at each other and continued with their respective tasks.
After a pleasant meal of roasted fish, it was still early. They lay on the grass, gazing at the sky, enjoying this unique tranquility.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled in their ears, making them feel drowsy. However, less than ten minutes later, Shu Yue suddenly cried out, "Oh no, there's a bug crawling on me!" kuAiδugg
As she spoke, she stood up, constantly patting the dirt and bugs off herself. She managed to brush off two bugs...
Went, feeling nothing: "..."
He got up from the ground and helped her pat herself down, "It's okay, you'll be clean after a bath when we get back."
Shu Yue felt disgusted, feeling itchy all over. "Then let's go back now. I feel like there are still bugs on me!"
"...Alright." Went was slightly disappointed; he hadn't had enough sun.
Shu Yue also sighed. What a romantic moment, and it was ruined by bugs!
Alas~
Although their intimacy was interrupted by bugs, their moods remained good. On the way back, Shu Yue even started singing.
Just as he was enjoying the song, Went suddenly tilted his head, seemingly hearing something.
"Yueyue, I heard Silver Howl's voice."
The singing stopped abruptly, "Where?"
Went turned direction, "Let's go see."
Shu Yue spotted a small black dot. As the distance closed, it turned out to be Silver Howl and his companions.
But their expressions were not right, especially Miao Xiaocui, who looked pale, as if something had happened.
Silver Howl and the others were about to return to the city when they ran into them. They rejoiced, "Shu Yue! It's so good to run into you. Cui has a stomachache, can you quickly check what's wrong!"
Shu Yue glanced at Miao Xiaocui and said strangely, "She was fine when we left. What's wrong now?"
Upon hearing the question, their expressions became somewhat odd, and upon closer inspection, they showed a hint of embarrassment.
Miao Xiaocui bit her lip, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
Silver Howl, however, was unreserved and spoke the truth, "Cui had intercourse with them not long ago. It seems she exerted too much force, and Cui's stomach started to hurt. Shu Yue, quickly check if the child is alright."
He had warned them several times nearby not to be reckless during pregnancy, but they didn't listen, and this was the result!
