Chapter 287: Chapter 287 - 279: Female Master, Get Dressed First—Don’t Catch a Cold
Shen Tang grabbed his hand, smiling enchantingly at him, her eyes full of allure and seduction, "But I want you now."
Then, she leaned in.
Bang!
The fortress, painstakingly built, was easily breached by her.
Xiao Jin couldn’t hold back any longer.
If he could still hold on, then he wouldn’t be a real male!
...
The ashen sky was gloomy and oppressive, but fortunately, the wind and snow had lessened a lot. Lu Xiao transformed into his true form and soared through the sky at top speed, heading in the direction of the signal.
He overlooked the world below, his sharp hawk eyes missing no detail, no living creature. From afar, he spotted the hot spring waterfall hidden in the valley.
The flowing water cascaded down stone steps, forming a series of high and low hot spring pools, with steam rising, white mist swirling, melting the frost and snow of the surrounding mountains, revealing the damp brown ground.
It was indeed a rare and beautiful scenic spot.
At the corner of the hot spring, he noticed two intertwined familiar figures, and his movements paused slightly.
He was surprised but not too shocked.
It’s just like them to do something like this.
Lu Xiao perched quietly atop a nearby treetop, waiting without disturbing them.
He saw the tattered clothes strewn beside the hot spring, filthy and stained with blood and mud.
It seemed the two of them must have gone through a fierce battle to escape.
Lu Xiao’s eyes turned cold, contemplating before deciding that the clothes were definitely unwearable. He then took out the prepared clothes from his space to give them after they finished.
Jia Lan had taken a shortcut, arriving swiftly by water route.
He hurriedly searched for them, and even before seeing them, he heard the sounds not far off, and his tail froze from moving!
Could it be...
He stood still in place, peering into the distance.
Under the hazy mist, those two figures were tightly entwined, inseparable.
"You two! I rushed over in such haste searching for you, and this damned leopard dared to steal affection!" Jia Lan nearly fainted from anger.
He had been worried for her all day, sleepless, only to find that this lustful female is here gallivanting with that stinking leopard, having a grand time!
Ha!
But seeing that the two of them are still in the mood to engage in this, it was evident they must be alright.
Listening to the vague sounds coming from that side, Jia Lan was inflamed with anger, turning to leave.
He swam behind a cliff to hide, impatiently waiting for them to finish while cursing Xiao Jin eight hundred times over in his heart.
Soon, he noticed the approach of two tall and slender figures from the forest not far away.
The leading red-haired youth was exquisitely alluring, with a noble grace, a presence as gentle as the bright moon, drawing eyes irresistibly toward him.
The other was a silver-haired man, elegantly sophisticated, tall and slender, emanating a chilling aura of slaughter.
It was none other than Shen Li and Xue Yinzhou, who had hurried over.
Jia Lan transformed into human form upon reaching the shore, stopping the two of them.
He folded his arms and glanced in the distant direction, saying sarcastically, "I advise you two not to go there now, or else don’t blame me if you get upset."
Shen Li was frowning in confusion when his fiery red fox ears twitched, catching the faint sounds from afar.
He suddenly came to his senses, and the fiery red fox tail behind him swayed gently, with a hint of a nonchalant smile, "Xiao Tang’er truly has fine leisure and elegance, soaking in hot springs in the middle of winter~ Bathing with a beautiful male partner sounds delightful; I almost wish to join them."
Jia Lan’s face darkened, "I can’t believe you said that; the Fox Clan truly is lewd!"
Shen Li didn’t mind, smiling mischievously, "Isn’t the reputation of the Mermaid Clan not that much better than the Fox Clan?"
The hearing of the Snake Beast wasn’t great; Xue Yinzhou didn’t hear clearly, but he detected the somewhat pungent sulfuric scent in the air.
Listening to their conversation, his face darkened suddenly, striding over.
Seeing the two figures in the hot spring, seemingly oblivious to the world.
The young, strong male pressed against the coquettish female, his large hand pinching her waist, her skin turning red from the rhythmic movement.
The female’s hands fell on his lean, firm waist, her nails leaving red marks on his broad, raised back.
Xue Yinzhou’s silver-violet snake eyes contracted abruptly, his tail instantly materializing, flattening a large area of thick snow.
The straightened tail anxiously whipped against the ground, wanting nothing more than to swap places with the damn leopard — to become him.
Xue Yinzhou’s expression was unyielding, with no visible emotion, transforming into his true form as he crawled to the top of the tallest tree.
From this vantage point, he could see the whole process clearly.
Seeing this, the corner of Shen Li’s mouth twitched, unexpected that this usually cold-hearted Snake Beast had such a penchant.
He himself lacked such a perverse interest, knowing that Xiao Tang’er and Xiao Jin were safe. He wasn’t in a rush, letting them play around.
The journey over left Shen Li quite tired as well. Looking around, he found a smooth large stone nearby, igniting his fingertips to dry the falling snow, lying down to rest and wait.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tang had no idea the other four Beast Husbands had arrived. Given the situation, she couldn’t spare a thought for anything else.
Xiao Jin’s ears twitched, hearing the sounds from the other side, but he was enjoying it too much to stop.
So, he feigned ignorance and continued on.
Over an hour later, the rippled water returned to calm.
Shen Tang, exhausted, lay on Xiao Jin, securely embraced by him, about to stride towards the shore.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the forest, "Female Master, careful of catching a cold, put on some clothes first."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Tang jolted awake, turning to see the tall, imposing figure. Who else could it be but Lu Xiao?
He was holding neatly folded, clean, new clothes in his arms, not only hers but also Xiao Jin’s, specially made warm garments.
Thoughtfully considerate.
Lu Xiao’s calm gaze fell on them, unruffled, as gentle and accepting as ever, "Take care of yourself, Female Master."
Shen Tang’s cheeks, which had cooled slightly, flushed red again.
For some reason, every time she heard Lu Xiao say this, although it was a most ordinary greeting, it always left her feeling a little inexplicably shy.
Fortunately, her skin had thickened over time, regaining composure as she took the clothes, dressing while asking, "When did you arrive?"
Lu Xiao couldn’t have been here all along, waiting, could he?
If so, hadn’t he seen everything...
As Shen Tang was thinking, three tall figures emerged through the rustling forest, each stunningly handsome, yet differing in style: Jia Lan, Shen Li, and Xue Yinzhou!
The Beast Husbands’ gazes fell on her, their expressions varied and unfathomable.
Jia Lan and Xue Yinzhou openly displayed their blackened expressions, exuding an aura of displeasure, coupled with the frigid weather, it was chilling to the bone.
Shen Li, however, smiled, seemingly in excellent spirits after witnessing the spectacle, though a careful look found a hint of inscrutable danger beneath the gentle smile.
Shen Tang swallowed, feeling inexplicably apprehensive. Could it be that these dog men had been here all along and witnessed everything?
Initially, she thought there was quite a distance, unaware they had arrived so promptly.
Had she known, she certainly would have diligently studied the Abstinence Scripture, and not indulged so impulsively in this!
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, appearing nonchalant, seeing nothing to be ashamed of.
Once he dressed, he smirked, glancing at the others cockily, "How come you arrived without a word, so I could end early with Tangtang to meet you... Tsk, it’s all her fault for clinging to me, nothing I could do."
