Chapter 133: This stupid wolf, what was he doing now instead of resting? (3)
His hand was hot. It felt as if the only warm part of her body was the hand that he was holding. Ruan Qiuqiu blearily opened her eyes. Wrapped in the animal skin blanket, she instinctively inched towards Yuan Jue in search of warmth.
By the time Yuan Jue returned to his senses, his wife had already made the choice for him.
A cold and soft arm wrapped around his arm. The animal skin blanket was lifted and covered them both. Ruan Qiuqiu hugged the source of heat and placed her head on Yuan Jue’s shoulder.
Other than this heater being a bit hard, Ruan Qiuqiu was very satisfied with it, especially as it grew hotter.
When she exhaled, her hot breath on his skin made him shudder from ticklishness.
Yuan Jue felt dizzy. Her arms were soft and fragrant, completely different from his. That coupled with the pain spreading all over his body, he almost couldn’t think.
Were all humans so forward? He wasn’t mentally prepared yet. But since she had made her choice, then she could only be his in the future.
Yuan Jue’s large tail secretly curled up at the tip. Pushing his luck, his tail wrapped around Ruan Qiuqiu’s waist.
Tonight, they had (indirectly) kissed and slept together. She had hugged him, and he had curled his tail around her. So then, this counted as consummating their marriage, right?
The wolf, who had no knowledge or experience in this area, naively thought they were already very, very intimate.
Yuan Jue’s wolf ears folded. Somewhat unable to bear the bubbling giddiness, he lightly gasped and seriously thought; once he was better, he’d ask her if she was willing to enter into a shared lifespan agreement with him.
Humans had a short lifespan. He didn’t want her to leave him so early.
However, if he didn’t get better… and couldn’t go back to being a powerful wolf demon, or if there was a day when he was about to lose his mind to the fiend energy, then he’ll leave of his own initiative.
Yuan Jue grasped Ruan Qiuqiu’s hand. A profound look in his eyes… He won’t let that day come, unless… it came down to saving her life.

Ruan Qiuqiu slept for a long time and had a very long dream. The dream took place in a drab and murky cave. There was a human couple wearing cotton and linen clothing. She couldn’t clearly make out their faces or the baby that one of them was holding.
Even though she couldn’t clearly see their faces, Ruan Qiuqiu intuitively thought the couple were her parents that she hadn’t seen before.
At the entrance of the cave, there was a demon couple. They were also wearing cotton and linen clothing.
They were holding hands with a young boy that couldn’t be older than four years old. She couldn’t clearly see his face either.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw her parents smiling as they touched her face. One of them joked, “Let’s marry Qiuqiu to your kid once they grow up.”
The demon couple laughed.
Ruan Qiuqiu felt dizzy.
“Okay.” The beautiful long-haired woman lowered her head and asked the boy, “Are you willing to marry Qiuqiu, Yuan Jue?”
Ruan Qiuqiu abruptly opened her eyes. Her clothes were sticking to her from sweat.
Her eyes were hot and wet with tears.
Ruan Qiuqiu blinked. Was that dream real? For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish between reality and that dream.
She still had a headache, but she quickly realized there was something off.
Something was wrapped around her waist. She felt somewhat panicky. She could feel that she was holding something hard in her arms too…
Ruan Qiuqiu’s line of sight was partially blocked. It was only now that she realized her sleeping position was different from usual.
She slowly poked her head out from the animal skin blanket. Catching sight of Yuan Jue’s face that was only ten or so centimeters from hers, Ruan Qiuqiu froze in surprise for a moment before her face flushed red as if it was soaked in red dye.
Why…. Why was she sleeping so close to him?!
