Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Glacier Melting

Su Muyao, just catching her breath from the shock, caught sight of Xie Guixue’s appearance up close after he emerged from the water.

His icy eyes held a dark, swirling vortex.

His hair was wet, droplets trickling down from his collarbone to his chest.

With enchanting allure, the air around them seemed imbued with an enticing feeling.

Su Muyao never imagined that Xie Guixue, stripped of his cold demeanor and darkened, could appear this way.

As if an eternal flame emerged from the never-melting Ice Soul Snow Mountain.

Su Muyao was taken aback by his seductive charm in his darkened state.

Her Heart String trembled fiercely.

As her breath seemed to falter, her eyes filled with a misty haze.

When Xie Guixue noticed the mist at the corner of her eye, he paused, his gaze clearing for a moment.

He stopped his actions and carried her out of the pool.

Then, he gently wiped the mist from the corner of her eye with his hand of Xiu Ruomei Bone, as though handling a treasure.

"Don’t cry, if wife does not wish for it, I will not harm you in the slightest."

His gaze seemed tinged with sadness.

Seeing him like this, Su Muyao’s Heart String trembled, reluctant to see him in such a state.

She reached to gently embrace him, explaining, "I’m not unwilling, just worried about your health."

"When you became my Beast Husband, my heart was willing."

These were the true feelings of Su Muyao.

Perhaps she hadn’t expressed it clearly before, so he didn’t know.

Listening to her words, Xie Guixue’s cool brows seemed to regain a touch of clarity.

His voice softened slightly, though his eyes were still shrouded in darkness, "So it means, wife does care about me."

Su Muyao nodded, "Yes, of course I care about you."

"If I didn’t care, why would I want you to calm down and wait until your health improves before we make a Contract?"

"Moreover, I’m now Wood Element Level 4, I can help you heal better."

Hearing this, Xie Guixue appeared more composed, with a glimmer of struggle in his darkened eyes, as if the purity within him was battling for control, "Am I really wrong and have troubled wife?"

Su Muyao softly replied, "How could that be, this is my promise to you when you became my Beast Husband."

"Yes, you know my promises are always kept."

"The reason I make promises is because my heart is willing, otherwise I wouldn’t promise anything."

Just like the promise to Wen Nanxi on that day, it was because of the feelings between them.

As Xie Guixue listened to Su Muyao’s words, he hoarsely said, "Thank you, wife, for telling me all this, I love wife very much too."

Speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her, this time the kiss was incredibly gentle, filled with lingering tenderness.

Su Muyao heard the word love, and her Heart String pounded intensely; this time, she also reached out to hug him back.

As she responded to him, Su Muyao felt his intense emotions.

Yet, during this time, Su Muyao also infused her Wood Element Ability into him.

Subsequently, Xie Guixue’s Spirit Sea returned to normal, and the dark energy dissipated completely.

Xie Guixue’s gaze regained its usual clarity, with the traces of darkness vanishing.

Once the Spirit Sea was back to normal, the force that threatened to devour her disappeared.

Su Muyao quickly withdrew from Xie Guixue’s Spirit Sea.

Originally meditating, Xie Guixue slowly opened his eyes.

His cool eyes were slightly reddened, the base of his ears tinged with a blush, giving him an air tainted with worldly desires.

"Wife... I’m sorry... I couldn’t suppress the darkness within me..."

"Did I frighten wife?"

"I’m sorry, I know you’ve said before you have feelings for Mr. Wen, and you made promises first, I arrived late, I know all this, I don’t mind not being the first Beast Husband, nor do I mind the order, as long as I can be with wife, I’m satisfied."

"I also acknowledge Mr. Wen as the first Beast Husband, he understands everything about you and can take better care of you."

"But just now, I couldn’t control the darkness inside, and couldn’t resist approaching wife."

He recalled every detail about what happened in the Spirit Sea.

Yet it was all him.

How could he have done such things to her, he couldn’t face her.

He wanted to use the Secret Technique of the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast to forcibly sever the dark side, though it was painful, he could bear it.

He couldn’t bear how he treated his wife like this.

She was so precious, he couldn’t bear to harm her at all.

The Space System spoke, "Host, the Ice and Snow Spirit Beast, because of its pure nature, can become most volatile if it grows passionate while weak, his darkened self follows the instincts of his deep emotions, doing things like a primitive Beastman, nearly without awareness, but upon waking, he remembers everything, hence he feels guilt."

"Intense emotions, like a heart of glass, are prone to being overly sensitive, such a nature is harmful, no wonder his health isn’t good, no wonder he mentioned his mother forbade him from being passionate, his subordinates seem to fear it too."

Hearing these words, Su Muyao’s expression shifted, knowing he’d returned to normal, she looked up at him and softly comforted him, "I know, but don’t speak words of self-blame."

"Moreover, you are this way because your body is weak, prone to agitation."

If his body were better, this wouldn’t happen.

"It’s also my fault, there were heartfelt words I didn’t say before."

She wasn’t too good at expressing emotions, she would change this.

Xie Guixue quickly said, "No, it’s not your fault, I also haven’t expressed my thoughts clearly."

Su Muyao, hearing this, earnestly said, "Gui Xue, no matter what form you take, it is you, you won’t frighten me."

"To me, your health is paramount."

"And I am now Level 4 Superpower, let me first treat your body."

Xie Guixue’s voice was cool and gentle, "Okay."

Xie Guixue spoke, extending his hand.

Su Muyao placed her hand on his wrist, as before, using her Wood Element Ability to heal him.

The Wood Element Ability infused into his body, carried along by his energy.

Xie Guixue’s cool brows seemed to blush, deeply gazing at her, restraining his breath.

His Divine Soul seemed embraced by her gentle touch, sparking a quivering sensation, causing his body to unconsciously desire something more.

He couldn’t help but swallow, struggling to suppress any sound.

Su Muyao saw his state, "I’m sorry, is it uncomfortable?"

She knew he wasn’t feeling well, she was being as gentle as possible, why did he react this way?

Xie Guixue spoke softly and elegantly, "It is a bit uncomfortable, but wife need not worry, I can endure it."

"Then I’ll try to be gentler."

Su Muyao, not quite understanding, let her ability flow in, being gentler, softer.

Tenderly healing the injuries within him.

Actually, this was the intertwining of Divine Souls, more sensitive than the physical body.

As Xie Guixue looked at her, his beautiful eyelashes trembled, his icy eyes seemed to carry a thin mist of rose.

Wanting to embrace her, but having done what he did earlier, it was wrong, how could he hug her at this moment?

At that moment, sounds of fighting came from outside.

Su Muyao’s expression changed, pulling back for now, "Rest for a bit, I’ll go have a look."

As Su Muyao exited Xie Guixue’s room, she saw at the door a strangely beautiful man in red robes.

His facial beauty almost transcended gender, difficult to distinguish male from female, his features incredibly delicate and exquisite.

A pair of slanted, phoenix eyes seemed crafted with immaculate strokes, his face paler than most, giving off a deadly, chilling appeal.

He was wielding a blood-colored scimitar, fighting with Wen Nanxi and the others.

Whether from being outmatched or something else, a touch of blood welled up by his mouth, infused with a fiery allure.

Then he turned to her, "Will wife just let them block me from entering?"

Suddenly caught in the ensnaring gaze of his eyes, Su Muyao felt an unusual tingling in her heart.

Su Muyao abruptly realized who he was.

"You are... Shen... Shen Ci’an!"
