Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

When Yuan Jue saw her hesitation and her somewhat flustered breathing, his sensitive glass heart, which had started to crack since he woke up this morning, completely shattered.
She stopped calling him husband, and she smiled at another guy.

He tightly pursed his lips.
Under the deep arc of his furrowed eyebrows, there was a shadow that couldn’t be undone.

Although Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t understand why he asked her that question, when she heard his shallow and painful breathing, she still honestly answered, “Mr.
Yuan, in the place that I used to live, sand sculpture is a very interesting term.
Mr.
Raptor is quite cute.
He’s your friend, right?”

(T/N: This is a pun.
Sculpture and raptor share the same Chinese character.
Sand sculpture is Internet slang for silly idiot, so I assume Yuan Jue doesn’t understand Ruan Qiuqiu’s joke.
)

There was no way he would be friends with that idiot Tian Xiu.
That guy dreamed of being a fish when they were younger.
He had gotten beaten up by a bunch of old fellows from the Sand Tribe because he had saved Tian Xiu from drowning.

Yuan Jue really wanted to say that, but he ended up only coldly snorting and gave a vague response of, “En.”

Hearing his hoarse voice, Ruan Qiuqiu touched her somewhat hot forehead.
Thinking of what happened last night, she hesitantly said, “Last night…”

Yuan Jue immediately got nervous.
His tail and pointed ears popped out again.

Ruan Qiuqiu felt awkward talking about this topic too.
She touched her face in embarrassment and stiffly changed the topic, “Thank you for installing a door and changing out the animal skin curtains.
It’s not as cold anymore.”

“… Oh.”

After waiting for a few more seconds, the wolf finally lightly said, “No thanks needed.”

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”

She decided to end this awkward conversation.

Ruan Qiuqiu probingly asked, “Are you tired? Do you want to rest?”

His long eyelashes trembled.
When Ruan Qiuqiu thought he was going to reject her suggestion, she heard the familiar hoarse voice saying in an aggrieved tone, “Tired.”

She chuckled.
She didn’t want to put him in a difficult spot, so she decided to walk in front of him and remind him of obstacles with her voice.

However, as soon as she took a step forward, there was a cool breeze behind her and he was gently tugging a corner of her clothes.
Ruan Qiuqiu blinked in surprise.

“… I can’t see.”

Yuan Jue’s voice was very light.
His tone was calm and indifferent, but he was tightly clutching her clothes and wouldn’t let go.

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”

After the raptor left Ruan Qiuqiu and Yuan Jue’s cave, he flew in the rain and snow for a while.
He still hadn’t recovered from his shock.

Who would dare believe that the stubborn and lawless wolf would actually act so harmless when he was in front of Ruan Qiuqiu? He even poured water for him…

He didn’t dare to drink that water at all.
His feathers almost puffed up.

Wait a minute, that didn’t seem right.
Ruan Qiuqiu wasn’t dead at all.
Why did that lion from yesterday lie to them?

He intuitively felt there was something wrong.
He hesitated for a moment and then changed direction to fly towards the Winter Bear Tribe.
He had reminded those two bears to be on guard.
They shouldn’t have been deceived by that lion, right?

—

Go back to over half a day ago.
Despite Tian Xiu’s warning, Xiong Duoduo and his brother were still deceived by the Lu Ziran

Actually, it couldn’t be said that they had been tricked.
Lu Ziran offered them a job protecting him.
He would pay the two bears one herb a day for the job.

This price was very worthwhile for both sides.

The two bears pondered for only a few seconds.
What danger can exist in the Wind Lion Tribe?

After discussing and settling on an arrangement where Lu Ziran would pay 10 herbs in advance after they reached the Wind Lion Tribe, they reluctantly agreed to the offer.

Although Xiong Duoduo had the nagging feeling there was something wrong, the sick bear demons at home needed herbs for treatment and further delay wouldn’t be good for them.

Shortly after the raptor left, the two bears reached an agreement with Lu Ziran that they would leave the shelter of the overhanging rock when it was hailing and raining less hard.
Shortly after they left the shelter of the overhanging rock to look for firewood, Xiong Duoduo smelled willow from a distance.

“Huhu~” (Big Bro, is a demon coming over here?” Xiong Duoduo was holding some firewood.
It was rare to see a serious expression on his furry panda face.
“Roar~” (For some reason, I feel it’s dangerous…”
