Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Can’t Control It

However, a storm was also brewing in Mei Qingchen’s heart at this moment, unable to calm for a long time.

Is this some kind of treasure she-beast?

Forming a contract not only enhances one’s own power but also allows the beast husband to increase in strength.

It’s not just from Level 1 to two levels, it’s from Level 4 to Level 5.

Keep in mind, the higher the power, the harder it is to break through and improve.

Seeing Wen Nanxi go from Level 4 to Level 5, he also desired it.

Because after improving in strength, it becomes easier to awaken and gain enlightenment.

Perhaps by then, he would understand what feelings meant as the wife mentioned.

Unfortunately, the wife seemed to have a grievance against him.

Even after all he’d done, she wouldn’t even glance at him.

Must he strip entirely, not even wearing pants?

But in that case, no other beasts should see, only the wife could look.

In fact, today, he had deliberately lowered his waistline a lot.

It still seemed a bit conservative.

He was very satisfied with his physique, and he was sure the wife would be pleased with him.

Thinking of this, Mei Qingchen believed this plan would definitely work.

He wanted to find an opportunity to let the wife see.

He could almost see the wife accepting him.

...

After his shock, Xiao Jihan used his superpower to form a barrier, blocking Mei Qingchen’s view.

His clear and cold eyebrows seemed to be tinged with a deep hue. Grasping her hand, he earnestly said, "Wife, this matter cannot be known by others."

"This method is too peculiar, and such a situation has never occurred on the Beast World Continent."

"If people knew, it would bring danger to you."

"In this world, there are not only mutated beasts but also dark beastmen. Dark beastmen act strangely, not constrained by the rules of the Beast World."

"Moreover, the Beast World Continent is not entirely explored. There are areas we haven’t discovered, referred to as the Unknown Zone. What kind of beastmen exist in unknown regions, nobody knows."

Strength is very important to beasts, and if it was known that this method could enhance strength, it’s uncertain what it would bring to Su Muyao.

Xiao Jihan actually had suspicions about Mei Qingchen.

He worried that Mei Qingchen might have bad intentions for the wife.

Even Wen Nanxi actually didn’t fully trust Mei Qingchen and had previously warned him.

Because they both knew Mei Qingchen wasn’t emotionally moved by the wife, didn’t have feelings for her.

Thus, it became uncontrollable.

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, understanding his concerns.

Her way of enhancing strength was indeed unconventional.

The Space System spoke up at this moment: "Host, don’t be afraid. Only those you truly accept as your beast husband can enhance their power in this way."

"It’s imperative that it’s a beast husband you’ve accepted yourself."

"Moreover, Host, although I am a system, I also leveled up last night. Even at the cost of my life, I won’t allow anyone to forcefully form a contract with you."

"Therefore, there’s no need for the Host to worry about anything."

"Everything must be according to your will."

If there’s something the Host doesn’t want to do, no one can force her.

"Also, Host, I’ve always had a sense that you are someone of great fortune, protected by the Heavenly Dao."

"This might be a unique gift from the Heavenly Dao for you; such a gift naturally won’t allow others to harm you in this way."

Hearing the system’s words, Su Muyao felt relieved.

Su Muyao smiled with crescent eyes and said, "You’re not someone else, so I told you, I definitely won’t tell others."

"This way, I can cure your cold ailment."

It’s not only Xiao Jihan’s cold ailment but also Xie Guixue’s body issues and Hua Linye’s fire poison.

There’s also Wen Nanxi; when he woke up in the bamboo forest, he was seriously injured, suffering from severe internal injuries.

He might also need a slow and gradual recovery.

Last night, his internal injuries should have healed quite a bit.

According to the Space System, his prowess was originally strong, and he was reduced to Level 3.

Now, although he reached Level 5, it’s because his true ability exceeds Level 5; his injuries merely healed some, allowing his strength to recover somewhat.

She’s curious about Wen Nanxi’s abilities before he lost his memory and what he experienced in the bamboo forest.

It seems there are certainly stronger individuals in this world, or Wen Nanxi wouldn’t have been injured so severely.

Xiao Jihan was deeply moved listening to Su Muyao’s words just now.

It turns out, she has so much faith in him!

Her enhanced superpower was meant to heal his cold ailment.

"Wife!"

Xiao Jihan murmured softly, his usual cold and lonely demeanor replaced. His gorgeous eyes seemed to have surged with emotional tides.

A hint of warmth seemed to appear.

He could no longer control himself, reaching out to embrace her.

The action was gentle, "Why are you so good to me!"

So good that he couldn’t help but be moved.

The subtle sensation of holding her further eroded his reason.

The sudden embrace made Su Muyao’s heart seem to pause, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Xiao Jihan, you... let go first!"

Su Muyao tried to push Xiao Jihan away.

Xiao Jihan looked down at Su Muyao with clear eyes filled with resistance, his expression instantly becoming pale, a chill spreading from within, draining the color from his lips.

His cold and clear eyes turned gloomy.

His pale lips moved slightly, saying in a low husky voice, "I’m sorry, it was my inadequacy before."

"I wasn’t good to you before."

That’s why she wouldn’t get close to him.

He realized he was a bit late.

She was treating his cold ailment merely out of her goodness, not specifically for him.

Suddenly, he realized something, his expression turning slightly flustered.

"No need for the wife to waste superpowers treating my cold ailment."

He feared that once his cold ailment was healed, she might say they owe nothing to each other.

He wouldn’t be able to bear it.

"I will always wait for the wife."

When she’s willing.

His practice involved the Ice Element superpower, and his body was accustomed to the Ice Cold Qi.

Yet at this moment, he felt the icy feeling spread across his heart, an unprecedented cold.

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan like this, her heart softening, she gently comforted, "Xiao Jihan, I will heal your cold ailment."

"You’ve done many things for me during this period, and have protected me, I know."

"It’s just that, your words came too suddenly, I felt startled for a moment."

"I’ve always thought you wanted to leave, I didn’t expect to hear these words."

Xiao Jihan said in a low, husky voice, "It’s my fault."

"It’s that I haven’t done enough."

From the beginning, Hua Linye and Wen Nanxi expressed they wouldn’t leave, he said it too late.

"I’m not good at speaking."

"In the future, I’ll change whatever the wife dislikes."

He needed to change his lack of expressiveness too.

"I... I won’t leave."

"Never will."

He wanted to tell her his decision.

Otherwise, if he waited any longer, there would possibly be no place left for him.

Even Yun Qinglan almost became the wife’s beast husband.

Now that she’s regained her looks and is so good, if any exceptional beasts outside knew, they would certainly want to become her beast husband.

If some do not, others will.

Su Muyao never expected Xiao Jihan, usually as cold and glacial as frost, could be so stubborn.

Su Muyao wanted to say something more when she suddenly noticed the coldness around Xiao Jihan intensifying.

Su Muyao’s expression changed drastically, quickly saying, "Xiao Jihan, calm down, don’t let your emotions fluctuate so intensely."

His cold ailment couldn’t withstand intense emotional fluctuations.

She suddenly recalled that when he returned yesterday, he mentioned not being able to control the cold ailment for the past few days.

Xiao Jihan looked deeply into Su Muyao’s eyes, "I’m sorry, I can’t control it."
