Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Irresistibly Captivating
Su Muyao couldn’t control the trembling sensation in her body at this moment.
She couldn’t help reaching out to hug Wen Nanxi, but she tried hard to resist.
Fearing that if she touched him, Wen Nanxi would throw her off directly.
Moreover, she promised to change and must not repeat the behaviors of her former self.
So even though her hand was trembling slightly, she didn’t take the initiative to touch Wen Nanxi.
It was Wen Nanxi who wrapped Su Muyao’s body with his snake tail.
Even when his snake body was still, she could feel the scorching heat from every inch of her body.
In the cold, subtle fragrance, Su Muyao felt surrounded by his aura.
At this moment, Wen Nanxi’s gentle brow seemed to ripple with dark ink, tinged with a hint of somberness.
His voice was soft yet slightly hoarse, "Wife, are you still hot?"
"Do you feel better?"
As he spoke, he reached out his well-defined, jade-like fingers, gently tidying her disheveled hair.
The stray hairs were softly tucked behind her ear.
But the place where his fingers touched her ear was extremely sensitive.
Su Muyao shuddered all over, a bit overwhelmed.
She restrained the tingling sensation surging through her body, looking at him with misty eyes, "I... feel better!"
In truth, she didn’t feel better at all; her body felt even hotter, and the tingling even stronger.
Enduring it was somewhat uncomfortable, and mist gathered at her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Wen Nanxi sighed helplessly, wiping away the mist from the corner of her eyes.
"Wife, if you’re uncomfortable, you can say it out loud."
He feared that transforming completely would frighten her.
So he could only use his snake tail to cool her down.
Compared to Su Muyao, who was currently breathless and tingling, Wen Nanxi remained as gentle and elegant as ever.
Only his gaze grew somewhat somber and dense.
"I...really, I’m fine!"
Actually, at this point, her body did feel much better.
His snake tail carried a naturally cooling temperature, and as it wrapped around her, the heat in her body gradually subsided.
Only, when his snake tail gently moved, the tingling sensation was very apparent.
Making her whole body feel electrified.
She had no experience with this sort of thing.
So at this moment, Su Muyao’s gaze was also somewhat misty.
After a long time, the heat within Su Muyao’s body subsided, and her eyes cleared.
She spoke with a touch of shyness, "Well, thank you for tonight."
"I’m okay now."
"Is there anything you need or need me to do?"
"You helped me, and I will repay you."
Wen Nanxi’s picturesque eyes dimmed slightly, his voice low and rich, "Wife shouldn’t be so distant from me."
As he spoke, his snake tail retracted and turned back into legs, and he took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from her face.
Wen Nanxi’s movements were gentle, leaving Su Muyao unable to refuse.
His voice carried a clear, melodious quality, akin to the notes of an ancient zither, like spring water from a deep mountain, very pleasant.
She had bitten her lip due to exertion and endurance, breaking the skin and revealing a trace of crimson blood.
As if her lips were stained with rouge.
Of course, Su Muyao didn’t know this at the time.
But Wen Nanxi’s picturesque eyes locked onto her lips with a deep, dark color.
His slender finger lightly touched her lips, gently stroking them.
The fine tingling sensation traveled from her lips to her heart, making her heartstrings quiver intensely.
Su Muyao was stunned, her tongue involuntarily flicked out, just in time to touch Wen Nanxi’s finger.
Upon realizing this, Su Muyao noticed a change in Wen Nanxi’s gaze and demeanor, her whole body stiffened, and she was filled with dread, "Well, I... I didn’t mean it!"
Wen Nanxi wouldn’t think she was deliberately seducing him, right?
Her heart was clear, she really didn’t.
Thanks to Mei Qingchen’s appearance, reminding her with those cold words of the malicious deeds of her former self.
So she dared not put on airs casually.
Wen Nanxi looked at her eyes tinged with red, seemingly wary of something.
He helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose, lowering his voice, "I know. Next time, don’t bite your lips, you’ve drawn blood."
"If you’re uncomfortable, you can bite my finger next time."
For some reason, upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s face felt somewhat warm.
Why did the air feel thick with ambiguity?
She thought it must be her illusion.
"Ah... okay!"
Wen Nanxi wiped away the bit of blood on her lips and then handed her a pouch that resembled animal skin.
"What is this?"
Su Muyao was stunned, "A Spatial Bag?"
According to the memories of her former self, she knew this Beast World had some Magic Artifacts and unique items.
Including Spatial Bags.
Spatial Bags also came in different sizes.
Such items were only owned by noble-born Beastmen.
If bought, the price was extremely high.
"Yes, there are two thousand Golden Crystal Coins inside. You can take it to use, buy whatever you want. Don’t go through the trouble of selling things at the mutual market."
"In the future, I will bring back the things left at the Beast Emperor City."
Wen Nanxi had some wealth left at the Beast Emperor City.
Now he held only these, and he brought them all to Su Muyao.
Su Muyao was stunned upon hearing this.
In this Beast World Continent, one Golden Crystal Coin is equal to ten Silver Crystal Coins.
One Silver Crystal Coin is equivalent to one thousand copper crystal coins.
So one Golden Crystal Coin is equivalent to ten thousand copper crystal coins.
One copper crystal coin could buy an egg.
So these Crystal Coins were already a lot.
Su Muyao looked at Wen Nanxi with a stunned expression.
She uncertainly asked, "This is for me?"
"Yes, for you."
In her heart, Su Muyao was quite surprised; it turned out her Beast Husband was so wealthy.
According to his meaning, this was just a small portion of his money.
It seemed her Beast Husband came from a noble background.
Thinking of this, a memory suddenly surfaced in Su Muyao’s mind.
That was how her former self squandered the dowries and Crystal Coins of the Beast Husbands at will.
Some used to please her former favorite Beast Husband, Jiang Mochuan.
Unfortunately, Jiang Mochuan was even stingy with a glance at her former self.
Some were coaxed into doing other things.
Not only that, but after using their Crystal Coins, they were humiliated.
In the end, everyone automatically took back the remaining dowry Crystal Coins.
Nobody’s dowry Crystal Coins were windfalls.
After taking them back, the Beast Husbands were exiled without Crystal Coins.
As if guarding against her former self.
Thinking of the things her former self did, and the silent endurance of the Beast Husbands, she felt they were quite pitiable.
Her former self was indeed a piece of work.
But Su Muyao always felt strange, always felt that many behaviors of her former self were odd.
The Space System suddenly spoke, "Host, this body truly belonged to you, but it was previously manipulated by a malicious spirit, so she deliberately did evil to harm the Host when your soul returned, to die at the hands of the Beast Husbands."
"However, that malicious spirit has completely dissipated and will no longer affect this body. The Host can rest assured."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted; so that’s how it was.
Regaining her composure, she handed the Spatial Bag back to Wen Nanxi, "I can’t accept this."
A noble person loves money but for its rightful use.
Moreover, since there would be no further relationship after this, she definitely shouldn’t use their Crystal Coins.
